  On November 5, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of
2,860,000 shares of Common Stock (the "IPO" or "Offering"), 1,855,000 of which
were sold by the Company, and 1,005,000 of which were sold by R.R. Donnelley &
Sons Company ("R.R. Donnelley"). Prior to the IPO, the Company was a wholly-
owned subsidiary of R.R. Donnelley. Of the $42.5 million of net proceeds to the
Company from the IPO, (1) approximately $8.7 million was used in final payment
for certain contingent obligations arising from the acquisition of LAN Systems,
Inc. ("LANSystems"), (2) $20.3 million was used in repayment of advances owed
R.R. Donnelley, and (3) approximately $8.1 million was used in repayment of the
$8.0 million Dividend Note and accrued interest. The remaining $5.4 million
will be used for general corporate purposes.
 
  As a result of the IPO, the number of shares of common stock outstanding
increased to 5,005,000 shares (including 5,000 of restricted shares granted to
a key executive) from the 3,145,000 shares outstanding prior to the IPO and
total equity increased to approximately $50.7 million.
 
NOTE 3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CARVE-OUT
 
  The financial statements included herein are unaudited and have been prepared
by the Company to conform with the requirements applicable to this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted as permitted by such requirements.
However, the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with the
accounting principles reflected in the financial statements and related notes
in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-10127) that became
effective on October 30, 1996.
 
  Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial data appearing in this
Form 10-Q reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows
of the Company on a carve-out basis and are derived from the historical
consolidated financial statements and financial data of the Company. The
consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect certain
expenses and liabilities incurred by R.R. Donnelley on behalf of the Company.
The Company believes that the assumptions underlying all such adjustments are
reasonable; however, the consolidated financial statements do not necessarily
reflect the expenses and liabilities that would have been incurred by the
Company operating as a stand alone entity.
 
  The Company has entered into certain agreements pursuant to which R.R.
Donnelley or its affiliates have agreed to perform certain legal, tax, data
processing, risk management, employee benefit, credit and collection, cash
management and banking and accounts payable services for the Company. The
Company will be charged fees and expenses for these services, but retains the
right to terminate certain services provided under the agreements upon 30 days
notice.
 
  The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 reflect the results of operations of LANSystems commencing
on July 1, 1995.

  The interim financial statements herein reflect, in the opinion of the
Company, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial information for the periods presented. Certain items have been
reclassified to conform with current period classifications. The 1996 interim
results are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected
for the remainder of the year.
 
NOTE 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
  The pro forma earnings per share calculation set forth below does not
reflect actual shares issued and outstanding at September 30, 1995 and 1996,
but assumes the 5,000,000 common shares outstanding upon the completion of the
Offering and the 5,000 restricted common shares issued to a key executive (See
Note 2) were outstanding at these dates.

NOTE 6. SPECIAL CHARGE
 
  The Company recorded a charge of $300,000 in the third quarter of 1996 to
reflect the departure, effective October 4, 1996, of Thomas P. Bradbury who
served as President of the LANSystems division. Mr. Bradbury's departure,
which was on an amicable basis, has resulted in his responsibilities being
assumed by Mr. Steve Fredette, formerly the Regional Vice President and
General Manager of LANSystems Eastern Region, pending the hiring of his
replacement, which is expected to occur by the end of the year. The Company
and Mr. Bradbury have entered into a severance agreement pursuant to which the
Company agreed to continue paying Mr. Bradbury his salary through June 21,
1997, pay him a pro-rated bonus for 1996 and permit him to participate in the
Company's employee benefit plans through such date.
 
NOTE 7. CREDIT AGREEMENT
 
  The Company entered into a $22.0 million credit agreement with Harris Trust
and Savings Bank on November 5, 1996. The credit agreement will be used in
conjunction with cash flows from operations to fund ongoing operations,
seasonal cash needs, and for continued growth and investment.

  Note: the results of operations of LANSystems are included in the Company's
consolidated statements of income since July 1, 1995.
 
 Revenues
 
  The Company's revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996 increased 22.3% and 68.4%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding
periods in 1995. The $28.8 million increase in revenues for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 was comprised of an $8.3 million, or 25.3%, increase
in business services outsourcing revenues and a $20.5 million increase in
information technology services revenues, reflecting the June 1995 acquisition
of LANSystems.
 
  Increased penetration in the Company's target markets is a key element in
its growth strategy. The Company's business services outsourcing group
increased its client base in the investment and commercial banking markets
with four new clients during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Three
client service expansions combined with increased volumes in 1996 accounted
for a $6.2 million increase in revenue during the first nine months within the
business services outsourcing group. Cross-selling within the Company's
existing client base resulted in two new systems management outsourcing
contracts subsequent to the close of the third
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
quarter. Information technology services revenue grew 18.3% to $11.1 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the comparable period
(the growth rate for all of 1995 compared to 1994 was 10.7%), due in part to
several large scale implementations of NT in both the legal and investment
banking markets. The Company expects to continue to capitalize on the
marketplaces' migration from Netware to NT.
 
  The strategy to focus on higher margin technology related services continues
to drive a change in the Company's product mix, resulting in an increase in
information technology service related revenues which generate a higher margin.
Information technology services revenues for the three months ended September
30, 1996 were comprised of $5.6 million, or 50.4%, of hardware and software
product resales and $5.5 million, or 49.6%, of service related revenue,
compared with $5.2 million, or 56%, of hardware and software product resales
and $4.1 million, or 44.0%, of service related revenue for the three months
ended September 30, 1995.
 
 Cost of Revenues; Selling and General and Administrative Expenses
 
  During the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company's cost
of revenues as a percentage of revenues were 78.6% and 80.1%, respectively, and
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were 78.3% and 82.9%,
respectively. The Company has managed to improve its cost of revenues as a
percentage of revenues by economies of scale and revenue growth.
 
  Selling expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding period in 1995 to
8.6% from 10.1%, but increased for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to 1995 to 9.7% from 8.0%. The decrease in selling expenses for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 1995 is attributable to
increased cross-selling to existing clients. The increase in selling expenses
as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to 1995 was primarily due to the inclusion of LANSystems for the full
period, as selling expenses for information technology services are higher than
for business outsourcing services due to the long term nature of business
outsourcing services' contracts. Additionally, the Company recorded higher
selling expenses as a result of the start up of systems management outsourcing
services and an overall investment in sales personnel to support future revenue
growth.
 
  The increase in general and administrative expenses to $5.2 million from $3.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to 1995 was
primarily due to the inclusion of LANSystems for the full period of 1996. The
decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to 1995 was due to reduced accounts receivable
write offs.
 
 Amortization of Goodwill
 
  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, amortization of
goodwill increased 54.7% to $229,000 and 261.5% to $535,000, respectively,
compared to the corresponding periods in 1995. This increase is due to the
inclusion of LANSystems for the full period and $8.7 million of additional
goodwill recorded in the quarter for certain contingent obligations arising
from the acquisition.
 
 Special Charge
 
  The Company recorded a special charge of $300,000 in the third quarter of
1996 to reflect the severance agreement related to the departure, effective
October 4, 1996, of Thomas P. Bradbury who served as President of the
LANSystems division. Mr. Bradbury's replacement is expected to be hired by the
end of the year.
 
 Interest Expense
 
  Interest expense increased 156.2% to $187,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to the prior year as the result of the additional
$128,000 of interest expense associated with the $8.0 million dividend note
payable to R.R. Donnelley. This note was paid in full upon the completion of
the Offering (see Note 2). For the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
interest expense increased only 3.6% compared to the
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
prior period due to the lower average outstanding levels of capital lease
obligations in 1996, offset by the interest related to the Dividend Note.
 
 Income Tax Rate
 
  The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 52.0% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 from 69.0% for the nine months ended September 30,
1995. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due in part to the increase in
pretax income which was offset in part by the effect of non-deductible
goodwill.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  The Company has funded its operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions
through cash flows from operations, amounts advanced interest-free from R.R.
Donnelley, and the sale of its business services outsourcing accounts
receivable to a subsidiary of R.R. Donnelley. These receivables were sold
without recourse and the Company was not charged any factoring cost and are
not included on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The arrangements
under which these services were provided by R.R. Donnelley terminated upon
completion of the IPO.
 
  On November 5, 1996, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Harris
Trust and Savings Bank (the "Bank") (the "Credit Agreement") under which it
will be entitled to borrow up to $22.0 million on a revolving credit basis.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will mature in three years and will bear
interest (i) at the prime rate announced by the Bank or (ii) at the applicable
LIBOR rate plus, depending on the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio, 75 to
125 basis points per annum (presently at 75 basis points). At November 19,
1996, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
 
  For the first nine months of 1996, operating cash flow (net income plus
depreciation and amortization of $3.8 million) was $10.1 million up from $3.4
million the prior year period. The Company believes cash flows from operations
and the credit agreement described above will be sufficient to fund its
ongoing operations, continued growth and investment, including acquisitions,
on a long-term basis.
 
  Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 totaled
$4.1 million, an increase of $1.1 million over the first nine months of 1995.
Capital expenditures for the full year are expected to be approximately $5.5
million.

or implied by such forward looking statements. Such factors are discussed in
the Company's Registration Statement (No. 333-10127) under "Risk Factors," and
include, among other things, the dependence of the Company on key clients; the
Company's ability to manage growth; the sensitivity of the Company's business
and results of operations to fluctuations in the U.S. professional service
economy; risks associated with performance of information technology projects
that are critical to the operations of the Company's clients; the Company's
focus on a limited number of target markets and, therefore, a limited number of
potential clients; the ability of the Company to grow through the introduction
of new services, including systems management outsourcing; the Company's
ability to anticipate technological advances; the risks associated with the
integration of LAN Systems, Inc. and the Company's strategy of growth through
acquisitions; the variability of the Company's quarterly operating results; the
Company's ability to attract and retain key personnel in a highly competitive
marketplace; and market and general economic factors. Specifically, the words
"intends," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "estimates," and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements included in
this Report that are not historical facts, including statements about the
Company's beliefs and expectations about continued market and industry growth
and increased penetration rates are forward looking statements.
