      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1:  Basis of Presentation

The   accompanying   unaudited  interim  condensed   consolidated
financial  statements of Resource Management International,  Inc.
(RMI)  have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do
not  include all of the information and note disclosures required
by  generally  accepted accounting principles.   The  information
furnished  herein  includes  adjustments,  consisting  of  normal
recurring  adjustments, which are, in the opinion of  management,
necessary  for  a fair presentation of results for these  interim
periods.

The  results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997
are  not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.

These  financial  statements should be read in  conjunction  with
RMI's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
for  the  year ended December 31, 1996, included in  the  current
report on Form 8-K/A filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on October 14, 1997.



UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The  Metzler  Group, Inc. (the Company) completed its acquisition
of Resource Management International, Inc. (RMI) on July 31, 1997
by  exchanging 2,137,178 shares of the Company's common stock for
substantially all of the outstanding common stock  of  RMI.   The
accompanying  unaudited  pro  forma condensed  combining  balance
sheet  combines  the  Company's historical  consolidated  balance
sheet and the balance sheet of RMI as if the transaction had been
consummated  on  June  30,  1997, and  the  unaudited  pro  forma
condensed  combining statement of operations for  the  six  month
period ended June 30, 1997 reflects the merger with RMI,
applying  the  pooling-of-interests method  of  accounting.   The
unaudited pro forma condensed combining financial statements give
effect  to the issuance of the Company's common stock in exchange
for  substantially all the outstanding shares of common stock  of
RMI.

The  unaudited pro forma condensed combining financial statements
are  presented for illustrative purposes only and do not  purport
to   represent  what  the  Company's  results  of  operations  or
financial  position  would have been had  the  merger  with   RMI
occurred  on  the  dates indicated or for any future   period  or
date,  and are therefore qualified in their entirety by reference
to  and  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  historical
financial statements of the Company and RMI.

Note A - Description of Business Combination

The accompanying unaudited condensed combining financial
statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for fair presentation.  All adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature.  All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.  On July 31, 1997, the Company
issued 2,137,178 shares of common stock for substantially all the
outstanding common stock of RMI. Because this acquisition is
being treated as a pooling of interests for accounting purposes,
the Company's consolidated financial statements as of December
31, 1996 and for the year then ended are being restated to
include RMI's assets, liabilities and operating results.


Note B - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed combining financial
statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for fair presentation.  All adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature.  All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. On August 15, 1997, the
Company issued 518,400 shares of common stock for substantially
all the outstanding common stock of Reed Consulting Group, Inc.
(Reed).  Because this acquisition is being treated as a pooling
of interests for accounting purposes, the Company's consolidated
financial statements as of December 31, 1996 and for the year
then ended have been restated to include Reed's assets,
liabilities and operating results.


                                
                                
                   UNAUDITED QUARTERLY RESULTS
                                
The following table sets forth certain unaudited quarterly
operating information for each of the six quarters ending June
30, 1997.  These data have been prepared on the same basis as the
audited financial statements contained elsewhere in this 8-K/A
and include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for the
fair presentation of the information for the periods presented,
when read in conjunction with the Company's Financial Statements
and related Notes thereto.  Results for any previous fiscal
quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the full
year or for any future quarter.
