                          NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1.  INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements of
SPR Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared by the Company in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those
rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures
contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31,
1997 in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K.

         The financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all
material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary
to present fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations.
Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to conform with the
1998 presentation. The results of operations for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the full year.

Note 2.  DEFERRED INCOME

         The determination of deferred income is based on management's estimate
of the services to be performed related to completing the Company's Century Date
Compliance projects and Software Quality Services, and is adjusted as additional
or new information becomes available.

Note 3.  CHANGE IN ESTIMATE

         During the first quarter of 1998, the Company changed its estimate of
depreciable lives for computer equipment and software from five years to three
years as a result of continued improvements in technology. This change in
estimate reduced third quarter net income by $73,672, or approximately $0.01 per
diluted common share, and net income for the first nine months by $208,468, or
$0.02 per diluted common share.

Note 4.  CAPITAL STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

         The company's basic and diluted per share amounts for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1998 are as follows:

         On May 5, 1998 the Company completed a follow-on offering of 3,315,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock. Of the amount of shares offered, 1,350,000
shares were sold by the Company and 1,965,000 shares were sold by certain
shareholders of the Company. The Company received net proceeds (net of the
underwriters' discounts and estimated offering expenses) of $23.1 million from
the follow-on offering.

         On August 3, 1998 the Company declared a three-for-two share
common stock split.  Shareholders received one additional share for every two 
shares held on the record date of August 14, 1998. Distributions of the
additional shares began on August 28, 1998.  Cash was paid in lieu of fractional
shares.  All shares and per share amounts reported in this filing have been
restated to reflect the three-for-two share common stock split.

</TABLE>



         REVENUES. Revenues increased 58% to $22.4 million and 70% to $62.8
million in the third quarter and first nine months of 1998, respectively, from
$14.2 million and $36.9 million for the comparable 1997 periods. The increases
in the 1998 periods, versus 1997, were primarily the result of a significant
increase in the number of consultants employed by the Company, many of whom
completed the entry-level phase of the Information Technology Consultant (ITC)
Training Program in 1996, 1997, and 1998 and an increased number of engagements
for both new and existing clients. In 1998, a higher proportion of these
engagements encompassed project-focused, strategic planning projects yielding
higher rates, as compared with 1997.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased 60% to $9.4 million in the third
quarter of 1998 from $5.9 million in the third quarter of 1997. Gross profit in
the first nine months of 1998 increased 77% to $25.9 million from $14.6 million
in the first nine months of 1997. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues
increased to 42% and 41% in the third quarter and first nine months of 1998,
respectively, from 41% and 40% for the comparable 1997 periods. The increases in
gross profit were primarily attributable to higher billing rates and higher
billing-to-consultant cost ratios, partially offset by management's estimates of
the services to be performed related to completing the 


                                       


<PAGE>   11

Company's projects and Software Quality Services. The higher billing rates were
realized as a result of the increase in project-focused, strategic planning
projects. The higher billing-to-consultant cost ratio was attributable to both
the placement of additional consultants who completed the entry-level phase of
the ITC Training Program and additional project managers.

         SELLING EXPENSES. Selling expenses increased 13% to $1.4 million in the
third quarter of 1998 from $1.2 million for the comparable 1997 quarter. For the
first nine months of 1998, selling expenses increased 16% to $3.8 million from
$3.3 million for the comparable 1997 period. This increase was primarily the
result of increased sales compensation due to the 58% and 70% increases in sales
in the third quarter and first nine months of 1998, respectively. The Company's
selling expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 6% in both the third
quarter and the first nine months of 1998 from 9% in both of the comparable 1997
periods, as a result of a change in the sales commission plan on January 1,
1998.

         RECRUITING EXPENSES. Recruiting expenses remained constant at $0.5
million in the third quarter of 1998, versus the third quarter of 1997. For the
first nine months of 1998, recruiting expenses increased 18% to $1.4 million
from $1.2 million for the first nine months of 1997. The increase during the
nine month period was primarily attributable to the hiring of an increased
number of consultants as compared with the corresponding 1997 period.

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
expenses increased 62% to $3.3 million and 57% to $9.7 million in the third
quarter and first nine months of 1998, respectively, from $2.1 million and $6.2
million for the comparable 1997 periods. The increases were primarily
attributable to employees added during the 1998 periods, increased general
salaries and management bonuses, expenses related to upgrading and utilizing the
Company's network and telecommunications systems, increased professional fees
for legal, accounting and investor relations, training costs associated
primarily with outside instructors for the entry-level phase of the ITC Training
Program, employee functions, and depreciation. The increases in the nine month
period were partially offset by charges in the second quarter of 1997, that did
not recur in 1998, for non-cash compensation related to the June 2, 1997 grant
of employee stock options, and bad-debt expense relating to a client that filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

         OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). The increase in other income in each of the
third quarter and first nine months of 1998, as compared to the equivalent
periods in 1997, is primarily attributable to interest earned on investments of
available net proceeds from the Company's initial and follow-on public
offerings.

         PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate was 40%
for both the third quarter and first nine months of 1998. Prior to the initial
public offering, the Company elected to be taxed as an S Corporation. As a
result, income of the Company was taxable to the shareholders. On October 1,
1997, the Company's S Corporation status was terminated and the Company became a
C Corporation.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


                                       

<PAGE>   12

         On October 2, 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of
4,485,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Company sold 2,400,000
shares in the initial public offering. Net proceeds to the Company from the sale
of the 2,400,000 shares were approximately $22.5 million, after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.8 million and offering expenses of
$1.3 million paid by the Company. The Company did not receive any of the
proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders.

         On May 5, 1998, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of
3,315,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Company sold 1,350,000
shares in the follow-on public offering and received $23.1 million in net
proceeds from the sale of such shares.

         The remaining net proceeds of approximately $10.7 million from the
initial public offering, together with the $23.1 million from the follow-on
public offering, and cash from operations, are being temporarily invested in
short-term investment grade securities, certificates of deposit or direct or
guaranteed obligations of the United States Government. The Company believes
such funds will provide adequate cash to fund its anticipated cash needs for the
foreseeable future.

         At September 30, 1998, the Company had approximately $48.8 million of
cash and short-term investments and no debt. Receivables were 48 days of
revenues at September 30, 1998, versus 42 days of revenues at December 31, 1997.

         On August 3, 1998, the Company declared a three-for-two share common
stock split. Shareholders received one additional share for every two shares
held on the record date of August 14, 1998. Distribution of the additional
shares began on August 28, 1998. Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares. All
shares and per share amounts reported in this filing have been restated to
reflect the three-for-two share common stock split.


YEAR 2000

         The Company has established a Year 2000 project team to review the
Company's computer hardware, operating system software, computer programs and
communications systems for any Year 2000 issues. The Year 2000 plan includes
testing the readiness of the Company's Virtual Insourcing Centers.

         The test plan was designed using the same methodology used by the
Company in completing its Century Date Compliance engagements. The methodology
incorporates four phases including preparation, surveying, planning, and
implementation.

         The process of completing the preparation phase has produced the
following items for Year 2000 compliance consideration:  1) the Company's
internal financial system suite, 2) software that is ancillary to the financial
suite, 3)  the Company's local and wide area network hardware and software, 4)
telecommunications equipment and software, 5)  equipment and software used in
connecting from the Company's Virtual Insourcing Centers to its clients, and 6)
third-party vendors, including building managers and communication line
providers.

</TABLE>


         As to the Company's financial system suite, the Company has purchased
Year 2000 compliant software which will replace its current financial suite. The
financial suite is the only information technology system that is expected to
have a material impact on the Company's operations. Expected future costs of 
implementing this system, along with the ancillary systems are expected to be 
less than $100,000.

         During the remainder of 1998 and into the second quarter of 1999, the
project team will continue to employ the Company's methodology to address the
Year 2000 issue. Since most of the Company's infrastructure was deployed within
the last two years, costs of any remediation for the Year 2000 issues are
expected to be immaterial.

         After completion of the described activities, the Company will prepare
a contingency plan that will include a designated team to resolve any unforeseen
problems that arise as a result of Year 2000 issues.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

         On October 2, 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering 
of 4,485,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.  The Company sold 2,400,000 
shares in the initial public offering.  Net proceeds to the Company from the 
sale of the 2,400,000 shares were approximately $22.5 million, after deducting 
underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.8 million and offering expenses of 
$1.3 million paid by the Company.  The Company did not receive any of the 
proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders.

         The remaining net proceeds of approximately $10.7 million from the 
initial public offering together with the $23.1 million from the May 5, 1998 
follow-on public offering, and cash from operations, are being temporarily 
invested in short-term investment grade securities, certificates of deposit or 
direct or guaranteed obligations of the United States Government.
