NOTE 1 - GENERAL

          The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X. Consequently, they
do not include all the disclosures required under generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of the
management of MCSi, Inc. (the "Company"), the consolidated financial statements
presented herein contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. For
further information regarding the Company's accounting policies and the basis of
presentation of the financial statements, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999, the ("Annual Report").

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

          As disclosed in the Annual Report, the Company has been involved in an
active acquisition program. Results of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 include the impact of entities acquired during 1999, which
are not included in the results of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. Acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
were not material. The following pro forma information illustrates the effect of
these 1999 acquisitions assuming they had occurred on January 1, 1999.

</TABLE>

          The pro forma statement of operations data reflect the effects of the
purchase price allocation and the resultant amortization and additional interest
expense associated with the cash used to fund the acquisitions, along with other
adjustments directly attributable to the transactions. The pro forma data
reflects adjustments directly related to the acquisitions and does not include
adjustments that may arise as a consequence of the acquisitions, such as cost
savings, improved efficiencies, etc. Therefore, the pro forma data is not
necessarily indicative of operating results that would have occurred for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1999, or in future periods, had the
acquisitions actually occurred on January 1, 1999.

NOTE 3 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

          Comprehensive income was $9,848 and $8,026 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

NOTE 5 - OTHER MATTERS

          On September 20, 2000, Zengine, Inc., ("Zengine") completed an
initial public offering ("IPO") of 4,290,000 shares of its common stock.
Prior to the IPO, the Company owned 68.5% of the outstanding shares of
Zengine and therefore consolidated Zengine in the Company's financial
position and results of operations. As a result of the IPO and subsequent
stock option exercises, the Company owned less than 50% of Zengine's
outstanding common stock at September 30, 2000. Accordingly the Company has
accounted for its investment in Zengine using the equity method for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000. The IPO resulted
in an increase in the Company's basis in Zengine of approximately $24.5
million, which was recorded as an increase in investment in equity investee
and an offsetting increase in deferred tax liabilities of $9.8 million and
additional paid-in capital of $14.7 million. As a result of the
aforementioned IPO the put option (described in Note 10. "Stockholders'
Equity" in the Company's Annual Report) provided by the Company to certain
investors in Zengine terminated.

          On July 7, 2000, the Company sold certain of the assets and
liabilities of its specialty wholesale business, Azerty Canada. The gain
resulting from this transaction was not material to the Company's results of
operations. Sales of this division were approximately $115 million in the
year ended December 31, 1999.

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

          The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
information contained in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and
Notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements. The following information
contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") and is subject to the safe
harbor created by that Act. The words "estimate," "project," "anticipate,"
"expect," "intend," "believe," "plans" and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. Because such forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic and
business conditions, the availability of capital on acceptable terms, actions of
competitors and key suppliers, risks inherent in acquiring, integrating and
operating new businesses, exchange rate fluctuations, the regulatory and trade
environment (both domestic and foreign), and changes in business strategies and
other factors as discussed in Exhibit 99 hereto.

OVERVIEW

          MCSi is emerging as a leading systems integrator of
state-of-the-art presentation and broadcast facilities, in addition to its
historical position as a leading supplier of computer technology and
audio-visual products. The ability to provide innovative, technically
sophisticated solutions to meet the increasing demand for improved
communication comes from a solid background in audio-visual systems,
broadcast media, and computer technology. The Company's ability to converge
these three industries, combined with design-build and engineering expertise,
computer networking and configuration services, an extensive product line,
and quality technical support services, has given the Company an advantage in
the systems integration marketplace and contributed to the dramatic growth of
the company.

          To aid in establishing its position as a sophisticated systems
integration company, MCSi recently introduced system documentation standards,
including signal flow, CAD and VidCAD documentation standards and
open-architecture standardized applications for creating flexible wire-run
databases. These standards, coupled with the Company's existing physical
installation standards - cabling and interconnect, wire number identification
placement templates, and marker nomenclature - are working to create a high
level of client satisfaction.

          The Company distributes most of its computer technology products
warehouse located in Erlanger, Kentucky, which is leased from a partnership
consisting of the directors and executive officers of the Company. The
warehouse maintains inventory and handles products from more than 500
manufacturers. Centralizing inventory in a facility located near a hub of
United Parcel Service allows the Company to accept and process orders for
products until 9:00p.m. EST and provide next day delivery virtually anywhere
in the continental United States. The Company is not aware of any competitor
having such capacity.

          The Company intends to continue the tactical implementation of its
business plan and continue to leverage and grow as a leading provider of
convergent products and services in multiple market spaces. The focused emphasis
of the sales, engineering and support personnel is the delivery of comprehensive
multi-vendor solutions to more than 50,000 active clients. The Company intends
to continue its vigorous expansion over the next few quarters through internal
growth and strategic mergers. The Company also intends to enter new markets by
hiring certain experienced sales representatives in and outside of the Company's
current market areas (some of whom may be constrained from working in their
present locations for a period of time). There can be no assurance that any
acquisition can or will be consummated on terms favorable to the Company or that
the Company will not need additional debt or equity financing to continue its
acquisition strategy.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

          NET SALES. Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000
increased by $41.4 million, or 22.8%, to $223.2 million from $181.8 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1999. Of the net sales increase, $36.7
million was attributable to the impact of acquisitions made during 2000 and the
fourth quarter of 1999 and $29.1 million was a result of increased sales
penetration, increased product offerings to existing customers and an expanded
sales force. Increased sales attributable to the impact of acquisitions and
internal growth for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was partially
offset by a sales reduction of $24.4 million as a result of the Company's July
7, 2000 sale of the Azerty Canada wholesale business. Sales returns are not
material to the Company's results of operations.

          GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30,
2000 increased by $16.5 million, or 45.7% to $52.6 million from $36.1 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1999. Gross profit as a percentage of
net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was 23.6% compared to
19.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in the


                                       8

<PAGE>

gross profit percentage was due primarily to the increase in audio-visual
integration system projects sales, which have a higher gross profit percentage,
as compared to computer technology product sales. Additionally, the
aforementioned sale of the Azerty wholesale division resulted in improved
margins as the Azerty wholesale division generated average margins less than
10%. Excluding the effects of the Azerty wholesale business, gross profit as a
percentage of sales for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was 21.7%.

          SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased
by $13.4 million, to $42.1 million from $28.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. Of that increase, 59.0% was due to the impact of
acquisitions during the fourth quarter of 1999. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were 18.9% and 15.8% of sales for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The 3.1% point increase was due
primarily to increased audio-visual integration system sales, which incur a
higher percentage of selling, general and administrative expenses than computer
technology product sales.

          OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 increased by $3.0 million to $10.4 million from $7.4 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1999. This increase was primarily due
to increased sales volume and acquisitions as discussed above.

          INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 increased by $1.1 million to $3.7 million from $2.6 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1999 due primarily to the increased
level of indebtedness during 2000, resulting primarily from the Company's
acquisition program and working capital requirements.

          PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 increased $0.7 million to $2.8 million
from $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The Company's
effective tax rate was 43.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and
42.6% for the three months ended September 30, 1999.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

          NET SALES. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
increased by $168.5 million, or 34.1%, to $662.7 million from $494.2 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Of the net sales increase, $86.7
million was attributable to the impact of acquisitions made during 2000 and the
fourth quarter of 1999 and $106.2 million of the increase is a result of
increased sales penetration, increased product offerings to existing customers
and an expanded sales force. Increased sales attributable to the impact of the
acquisitions and internal growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
was partially offset by a sales reduction of $24.4 million as a result of the
Company's July 7, 2000 sales of the Azerty Canada wholesale business. Sales
returns are not material to the Company's results of operations.

          GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 increased by $51.9 million, or 53.7% to $148.5 million from $96.6 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Gross profit as a percentage of
net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was 22.4% compared to
19.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in the gross
profit percentage was due primarily to the increase in audio-visual system
integration projects sales, which have a higher gross profit percentage, as
compared to computer technology product sales. Additionally, the aforementioned
sales of the Azerty wholesale division resulted in improved margins, as the
Azerty wholesale division generated average margins less than 10%. Excluding the
effects of the Azerty wholesale business, gross profit as a percentage of sales
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was 24.1%.

          SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased
by $43.2 million, to $118.9 million from $75.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses were 17.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
compared to 15.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The 2.6% point
increase was due primarily to increased audio-visual integration system sales,
which have a higher percentage of selling, general and administrative expenses
than computer technology product sales.

          OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 increased by $8.8 million to $29.6 million from $20.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, for the reasons stated above. Operating
margins were 4.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 4.2%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

          INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 increased to $10.9 million from $7.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 due primarily to the increased level of indebtedness incurred
during 2000, which was used primarily for business combinations and working
capital requirements.

          PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased $1.9 million to $8.2 million from
$6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 due to an increase in
pre-tax income. The Company's effective tax rate was 42.7% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 as compared to 45.0% for the corresponding period of
the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to reduced state and local taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          Net cash flows used in operating activities totaled $8.5 million for
the first nine months of 2000 compared to $0.2 million provided by operating
activities during the first nine months of 1999. The change in net cash flows
from operating activities in the first nine months of 2000 was due primarily to
increases in net income, depreciation and amortization and trade accounts
payable, offset by higher levels of accounts receivable.

          At September 30, 2000, the Company's average days sales outstanding
was 52 days as compared to 47 days at December 31,1999. The increase of the
Company's average days sales outstanding is primarily the result of increased
sales of audio-visual integration system project sales, which typically have
larger collection cycles than technology product sales. To date, management does
not believe that the increase in the average days sales outstanding exposes the
Company to increased credit risk, as the audio-visual integration system project
sales are typically made to larger, credit worthy customers.

          Inventory turned 9 times on an annualized basis for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000. This level is consistent with 1999 inventory turns of
9 times. During 2000, gross inventory reductions resulting from the
consolidation of our warehousing facilities were offset by the increase in sales
of audio-visual products, which typically do not turn as quickly as computer
supplies.

          Net cash provided by investing activities was $9.4 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 versus as use of $18.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. The net cash used in investing
activities primarily reflects acquisitions completed and capital expenditures
for both periods, offset during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 by
the proceeds from the sale of the Azerty wholesale division of $30.5 million.
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $2.4 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 compared with $20.8 million provided by
financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The
primary use of cash for financing activities during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 related to the purchase of treasury stock while the
primary source of cash provided by financing activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 was borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

          The Company believes that its cash on hand and borrowing capacity
will be sufficient to fund its ongoing operations and budgeted capital
expenditures for the next twelve months, although actual capital needs may
change, particularly in connection with acquisitions which the Company may
make in the future. The Company's long-term requirements, including capital
expenditures and acquisitions, are expected to be financed by a combination
of additional borrowings and other sources of external financing, including
the sale of equity securities, as needed.

CREDIT FACILITY

          The Company presently operates under a credit facility with a
consortium of banks totaling $160 million. Loans under the Credit Facility
may be incurred by the Company from time to time to finance "permitted
acquisitions" and may be made at the Bank's prime rate (as defined) or at the
defined published eurodollar rate plus a "eurodollar margin" that ranges from
100 to 200 basis points based on certain indebtedness ratios of the Company.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the
assets and property of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including
accounts receivable, equipment and inventory. The loan commitment terminates
on the maturity date (December 10, 2003), unless terminated earlier. The
Company may voluntarily prepay any advance without penalty or premium at any
time or from time to time.

          The Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants which may have an
adverse effect on the Company's operations in the future. The Company has
covenanted that, among other things, it will not: (i) change the nature of its
business; (ii) liquidate or dissolve its affairs, merge, consolidate or acquire
the property or assets of any person, other than permitted acquisitions that
comply with the financial covenants of the Credit Facility, certain intercompany
mergers, permitted investments, permitted dispositions, certain capital
expenditures and leases; (iii) permit the incurrence of any lien on the
Company's property and assets; (iv) incur other indebtedness, except for up to
$7.0 million of indebtedness incurred by foreign subsidiaries and for certain
capital leases up to $10.0 million, certain guaranties and existing
indebtedness; (v) pay cash dividends or repurchase more than a certain amount of
its capital stock; (vi) violate certain financial covenants; or (vii) engage in
certain other transactions.
