                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 -- Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly,
certain information and footnote disclosure required for complete financial
statements are not included herein. It is recommended that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related notes of Forrester Research, Inc. (the "Company") as reported in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented
have been included. The consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31,
1996 has been derived from the consolidated financial statements that have been
audited by the Company's independent public accountants. The results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 may not be
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
1997, or any other period.


Note 2 -- Pro Forma Income Tax Adjustment and Pro Forma Net Income

The Company was an S corporation under section 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, until prior to the closing of its initial public offering.
As an S corporation, the taxable income of the Company was passed through to the
sole stockholder and was reported on his individual federal and state income tax
returns. The Company is now taxed as a C corporation and accordingly is subject
to federal and state income taxes at prevailing corporate rates. The statements
of income for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 include a pro
forma income tax adjustment to reflect an estimate of the income taxes that
would have been recorded if the Company had been a C corporation for those
periods. The Company has calculated this amount based on the statutory tax rate
for 1996.


Note 3 -- Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share. This
statement established standards for computing and presenting earnings per share
and applies to entities with publicly traded common stock or potential common
stock. SFAS No. 128 is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and
early adoption is not permitted. When adopted, the statement will require
restatement of prior years' earnings per share. The Company will adopt this
statement for its quarter and year ended December 31, 1997. Assuming that SFAS
No. 128 had been implemented, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per
share would not have materially differed from the net income per share disclosed
in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OF OPERATIONS
- -------------

OVERVIEW

         This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Words such as "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "intends," "plans,"
"estimates," or similar expressions are intended to identify these
forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the Company's current
plans and expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual future activities and results of operations to be materially different
from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by
forward-looking statements include, among others, the need to attract and retain
professional staff, management of growth, variability of quarterly operating
results, possible volatility of stock price, dependence on renewals of
membership-based research services, dependence on key personnel, risks
associated with anticipating market trends, new products and services, and
competition. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events, or otherwise.

         Forrester Research, Inc. ("Forrester" or the "Company") is a leading
independent research firm offering products and services that help its clients
assess the effect of technology on their businesses. The Company provides
analysis and insight into a broad range of technology areas such as computing,
software, networking, the Internet, and telecommunications, and projects how
technology trends will impact businesses, consumers, and society. Forrester's
clients, which include senior management, business strategists, and information
technology ("IT") and marketing professionals within large enterprises, use
Forrester's prescriptive research to understand and benefit from current
developments in technology and as support for their development and
implementation decisions.

         Forrester offers its clients annual memberships to any of its 11
Strategy Research Services. Memberships are renewable contracts, typically
annual and payable in advance. Accordingly, a substantial portion of the
Company's billings are initially recorded as deferred revenue and recognized pro
rata on a monthly basis over the contract period. The Company's other revenues
are derived from advisory services rendered pursuant to Forrester's Partners
Program and Strategy Review Program and from Forrester Technology Management
Forums ("Forums"). The Company's advisory service clients purchase such services
in conjunction with the purchase of core research memberships to Strategy
Research Services, and the contracts for such purchases are also generally
payable in advance. Billings attributable to advisory services are initially
recorded as deferred revenues and recognized as revenue when performed.
Similarly, Forum billings are initially recorded as deferred revenues and are
recognized upon completion of each event.

         The Company's operating expenses consist of cost of services and
fulfillment, selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative
expenses, and depreciation and amortization. Cost of services and fulfillment
represent the costs associated with production and delivery of the Company's
products and services, and include the costs of salaries, bonuses, and related
benefits for research personnel, and all associated editorial, travel, and
support services. Selling and marketing expenses include salaries, employee
benefits, travel expenses, promotional costs, sales commissions, and other costs
incurred in marketing and selling the Company's products and services. General
and administrative expenses include the costs of the finance, operations, and
corporate IT groups, and other administrative functions of the Company.

         The Company believes that the "agreement value" of contracts to
purchase core research and advisory services provides a significant measure of
the Company's business volume. Forrester calculates agreement value as the
annualized fees payable under all core research and advisory service contracts
in effect at a given point in time, without regard to the remaining duration of
such contracts. Agreement value increased 23% to $36.8 million at June 30, 1997
from $30.0 million at December 31, 1996. No single client company accounted for
more than 3% of agreement value at June 30, 1997. The Company's experience is
that a substantial portion of client companies renew expiring contracts for an
equal or higher 





                                       7

level of total core research and advisory service fees each year. Approximately
75% of Forrester's client companies with memberships expiring during the six
months ended June 30, 1997 renewed one or more memberships for the Company's
products and services. This renewal rate is not necessarily indicative of the
rate of future retention of the Company's revenue base.

1996. Revenues from core research increased 73% to $7.1 million in the three
months ended June 30, 1997 from $4.1 million in the three months ended June 30,
1996. Increases in total revenues and revenues from core research were primarily
attributable to an increase in the number of client companies to 927 at June 30,

introduction of five new Strategy Research Services since January 1, 1996. No
single client company accounted for more than 3% of revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 1997.

         Advisory services and other revenues increased 69% to $2.0 million in
the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $1.2 million in the three months ended
June 30, 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to demand for the
Partners and Strategy Review Programs and the addition of a new Forum held in
May 1997.

101% to $2.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $1.1 million

the three months ended June 30, 1996. The increase in revenues was due primarily
to the addition of direct international sales personnel. The Company invoices
its international clients in U.S. dollars.

decreased as a percentage of total revenues to 34% in the three months ended
June 30, 1997 from 37% in the three months ended June 30, 1996. These expenses
increased 53% to $3.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $2.0
million in the three months ended June 30, 1996. The expense increase in this
period was principally due to increased analyst staffing for Strategy Research

research.

         SELLING AND MARKETING. Selling and marketing expenses decreased as a
percentage of total revenues to 36% in the three months ended June 30, 1997 from
40% in the three months ended June 30, 1996. These expenses increased 57% to
$3.3 million in the three months ended June 30,1997 from $2.1 million in the
three months ended June 30, 1996. The increase in expenses was principally due

force.

months ended June 30, 1997 from $121,000 in the three months ended June 30,

annually renewable and are generally payable in advance. The Company generated
$4.0 million in cash from operating activities during the six-month period ended
