                          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,
1998 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
1999 presentation. The results of operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the full year.

Note 2.  Business Segments

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS No. 131"). The Company has no
separately reportable segments in accordance with this standard. Under the
enterprise-wide disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 131, the Company reports net
revenues by service offering. Amounts for the three and six months ended June
30, 1999 and 1998, are shown in the table below:

</TABLE>



         Revenues. Revenues decreased 22% to $16.7 million and 17.9% to $33.2
million in the second quarter and first six months of 1999, respectively, from
$21.4 million and $40.4 million for the comparable 1998 periods. The decreases
in the 1999 periods versus the comparable 1998 periods were primarily the result
of earlier than expected project completions, delays in beginning new client
projects, and general industry conditions. The Company's billing rate per hour
increased 10% in the second quarter of 1999 from the comparable 1998 quarter and
has remained constant from the fourth quarter of 1998.

         Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased 55% to $4.0 million in the second
quarter of 1999 from $8.8 million in the second quarter of 1998. Gross profit in
the first six months of 1999 decreased 56% to $7.3 million from $16.5 million in
the first six months of 1998. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased
to 24% in the second quarter and to 22% in the first six months of 1999 from 41%
for the comparable 1998 periods. The decreases in gross profit were primarily
attributable to decreases in consultant utilization rates. The results for the
first and second quarters of 1998 were negatively impacted by management's
estimate of the services to be performed related to completing the Company's
century date compliance projects.


<PAGE>   9

         Selling Expenses. Selling expenses were $1.3 million in the second
quarter of 1999 and 1998. For the first six months ended June 30, 1999, selling
expenses increased 8% to $2.6 million from $2.5 million for the comparable 1998
period. The Company's selling expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to
8% in the second quarter and the first six months of 1999 from 6% for the
comparable 1998 periods. The increase was primarily the result of increased
sales executive compensation due to the increase in the sales force from an
average of 24 in the first six months of 1999 to an average of 17 in the
comparable 1998 period.

         Recruiting Expenses. Recruiting expenses decreased 29% to $0.3 million
in the second quarter of 1999 from $0.5 million for the second quarter of 1998.
For the first six months of 1999, recruiting expenses decreased 16% to $0.8
million from $0.9 million for the first six months of 1998. Hiring during the
first and second quarters of 1999 consisted only of project-specific skill sets
required on client engagements.

         General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative
expenses decreased 17% to $2.7 million and 10% to $5.7 million in the second
quarter and first six months of 1999, respectively, from $3.3 million and $6.3
million for the comparable 1998 periods. Increased expenses incurred in the
second quarter and the first six months of 1999 for internal technology, office
space, telecommunications, depreciation, employee functions, and merger-related
costs for travel, legal and accounting fees were offset by decreases in expenses
for management bonuses and training costs associated with the entry-level
portion of the Information Technology Consultant (ITC) Training Program.

         Interest Income. Interest Income increased to $0.7 million and $1.2
million in the second quarter and the first six months of 1999 from $0.5 million
and $0.8 million for the comparable 1998 periods. This increase was attributable
to interest earned on the investment of funds received in the May 5, 1998
follow-on offering.

         Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 40%
for the second quarter and the first six months of 1999 and 1998.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The remaining net proceeds of approximately $8.9 million from the
Company's initial public offering, together with the $23.1 million from the
follow-on public offering, and cash from operations are being temporarily
invested in investment grade securities. The Company intends to use the
remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the expansion
of the curriculum of its ITC Training Program, the development of new service
offerings related to E-Business and enterprise application integration
strategies, additional virtual insourcing centers, working capital, branch
expansion and possible acquisitions of related businesses.

         At June 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $50.5 million of cash
and short-term investments.

<PAGE>   10
Receivables have increased to 55 days of revenues at June 30, 1999, from 52 days
of revenues at December 31, 1998.

         The Company, subsequent to the initial public offering, has no
outstanding debt. The Company believes the net proceeds from such offerings,
together with existing sources of liquidity and funds generated from operations,
will provide adequate cash to fund its anticipated cash needs, including funding
the Company's growth strategy.

Recent Events

         In response to declining consultant utilization rates, the Company
implemented a reduction in force on August 2, 1999, at one of its four
locations. The reductions amounted to an approximately 10% cut in SPR's
consulting professionals. The Company believes that these reductions should
reduce costs by approximately $0.3 million per month.

         On March 17, 1999 the Company announced a plan to purchase up to 1.5
million of its shares of common stock under a stock repurchase program. The
quantity to be purchased and the targeted price will be determined daily, based
upon management's discretion. As of August 11, 1999, the Company has purchased
635,692 shares.
