                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of the EMD - Group as of
December 31, 1997 and the related combined statement of operations, of
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1997. These
financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is
to issue an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the EMD -
Group as of December 31, 1997 and the combined results of its operations and its
cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1997 in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States.

The EMD-Group is not an legal entity but rather consists of the following
separate entities:

- -        EMD Gesellschaft fur Elektroinstallation- und Maschinenbau-
         Dienstleistungs mbH, Aschaffenburg

- -        EMD Gesellschaft fur Elektroinstallation- und Maschinenbau-
         Dienstleistungs mbH, Bruchsal

At December 31, 1997 the companies were owned by a group of shareholders whereby
the ownership of the individual shareholders varied from company to company.
During 1998, newly formed holding companies, indirect subsidiaries of AHL
Services Inc., will acquire all shares in the above companies.

The accompanying combined financial statements for the year ended December 31,
1997 include the business operations of the companies listed above.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of the five
entities discussed above. All significant intercompany accounts have been
eliminated.

The term "DM" and "TDM" in these combined financial statements refers to
Deutsche Marks and Thousands of Deutsche Marks. Solely for the convenience of
the reader, the combined financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1997 have been translated into United States Dollars ("US $) at the
rate of 1.7921 DM per US $, the rate of exchange on December 31, 1997. The
translation should not be construed as a representation that the Deutsche Mark
amounts represent or have been or could be converted into US $ at that or any
other rate.
<PAGE>   9
FISCAL YEAR END

The fiscal year ends of the companies representing the EMD-Group are December
31.


USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original
purchase maturities of one month or less.


UNBILLED ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Unbilled accounts receivable include work in progress in the amount of DM 20,000
(US $11,000) due from two contracts of labour which have not been invoiced as at
December 31, 1997.


PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful
lives of four to ten years.

         Property and equipment comprised the following:

claim for a refund from social security.


3. INVESTMENTS

The EMD - Group holds a 20% investment which is available for sale. The

value equals the book value.


4. BENEFIT OBLIGATION

are not covered by pension plans. The group's salaried plans principally provide

Pensions" (SFAS 87) was effective as of January 1, 1989 for the German plan with
the transition asset being amortised over remaining service life of the current

statements include the EMD acquisition and the Gage acquisition reported
previously on a Current Report on Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A filed on August 10,
1998 and October 6, 1998, respectively.


         The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance 
sheet as of June 30, 1998 gives effect to the EMD and Gage acquisitions as if
they had occurred on that date.  The accompanying unaudited pro forma
consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 and
the six months ended June 30, 1998 give effect to the EMD and Gage acquisitions
as if they had occurred at the beginning of the respective periods. The pro
forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions
that management believes to be reasonable.  Final purchase adjustments may
differ from the pro forma adjustments herein.

         The accompanying pro forma statements are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations which would have been attained had the acquisitions
been consummated on the dates indicated or which may be attained in the
future.  These pro forma statements should be read in conjunction with the
