4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         On November 28, 1997, an individual who was a former officer, director
and shareholder of the Company filed a complaint in the United States District
Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that, at the time he resigned
from the Company in 1996, thereby triggering the repurchase of his shares, the
Company and certain of its officers and directors had failed to disclose to him
material information relating to the potential value of the shares. He further
alleges that the Company and its officers and directors violated Sections 10(b)
and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and breached various
fiduciary duties owed to him and claims damages in excess of $10 million. This
matter is currently scheduled for trial on September 11, 2000. The Company
believes these claims are without merit and intends to defend the matter
vigorously. Although there can be no assurance of a favorable outcome, the
Company does not believe that this action will have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial condition or results of operations and has not accrued
for any loss related to this action.

         On May 12, 1998, the Company acquired David M. Griffith & Associates,
Ltd. ("DMG"), which was subsequently merged into DMG-MAXIMUS, Inc.
("DMG-MAXIMUS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MAXIMUS. A consolidated legal
action was brought against DMG-MAXIMUS and thirteen other named defendants in
the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona by Superstition Mountains
Community Facilities District No. 1 (the "District") and Allstate Insurance
Company ("Allstate"), alleging that DMG made false and misleading
representations in the reports DMG prepared as a consultant to underwriters of
revenue bonds issued by the District and purchased by Allstate. On May 12, 2000,
DMG-MAXIMUS agreed to a confidential settlement agreement with the District and
Allstate. The settlement amount is not material and will not have an adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

         In January 2000, the New York City Human Resources Administration
("HRA") submitted two contracts that it had awarded to the Company for
welfare-to-work services to the Comptroller of New York City (the


<PAGE>

"Comptroller") to be registered. Under New York law, the contracts must be
registered in order for the Company to receive payment. However, the Comptroller
refused to register the contracts, alleging improprieties in the procurement
process and in the Company's conduct. The Mayor of the City of New York (the
"Mayor") and HRA disagreed with the Comptroller's assertions and, in March 2000,
sued the Comptroller in the Supreme Court of the State of New York - New York
County (the "Court"), seeking to require the Comptroller to register the
contracts. On April 13, 2000, the Court issued a decision and judgment holding
that the Comptroller has a mandatory duty to register the contracts. However, as
a matter of judicial discretion, the Court refused to require registration,
finding that the Comptroller had established that the procurement process had
been corrupted. This decision was appealed by the Mayor and HRA to the New York
Supreme Court Appellate Division - First Department (the "Appellate Division").
On April 24, 2000, the Company filed a motion in the Appellate Division to
intervene in the lawsuit. The Company asked that the Court's decision be set
aside on the grounds that it contained findings of fact against the Company not
supported by the record and that the Court failed to afford the Company with its
constitutional rights to notice of a hearing and an opportunity to be heard. The
Appellate Division heard the appeal on June 13, 2000, but has not yet issued a
decision. This matter is also the subject of investigations being conducted by
certain governmental agencies. The District Attorney's Office of New York County
and the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York,
in response to requests made by the Comptroller, are investigating the facts
underlying this matter. Both offices issued subpoenas for documents to the
Company in early May 2000. The Company believes the Comptroller's claims are
without merit and intends to continue defending against his allegations
vigorously. MAXIMUS believes that its actions were lawful and appropriate and
continues to cooperate fully with the governmental reviews of the matter.
Although there can be no assurance of a favorable outcome, the Company does not
believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

         The Company also is involved in various other legal proceedings in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, these proceedings
involve amounts that would not have a material effect on the financial position
or results of operations of the Company if such proceedings were resolved in an
unfavorable manner to the Company.

The Government Operations Group administers and manages government health and
human services programs, including welfare-to-work and job readiness, child
support enforcement, managed care enrollment and disability services. The
Consulting Group provides consulting services to state, county and local
legislatures and government agencies, including health and human services, law
enforcement, parks and recreation, taxation, housing, motor vehicles, labor and
education.

      As an important part of the Company's growth strategy, it has completed
combinations with the following firms: Spectrum Consulting Group, Inc. and
Spectrum Consulting Services, Inc. (collectively, "Spectrum") in March 1998,
David M. Griffith & Associates, Ltd. ("DMG") in May 1998, Carrera Consulting
Group ("Carrera") and Phoenix Planning & Evaluation, Ltd. ("Phoenix") in August
1998, Control Software, Inc. ("CSI") in February 1999, Norman Roberts &
Associates, Inc. ("Roberts") in March 1999, Unison Consulting Group, Inc.
("Unison") in June 1999, Network Design Group, Inc. dba The Center for Health
Dispute Resolution ("CHDR") in September 1999, Public Systems, Inc. ("PSI") in
October 1999, Crawford Consulting, Inc. ("Crawford") in March 2000, and
Valuation Resource Management, Inc. ("VRM") in April 2000. Additionally, the
Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the government services
division of 3-G International, Inc. ("3GI") in March 2000, and of AssetWorks,
Inc. ("AssetWorks") and Technology Management Resources, Inc. ("TMR") in April
2000. Spectrum, DMG, Carrera, Phoenix and CSI were each accounted for as a
pooling of interests combination. Roberts, Unison, CHDR, PSI, Crawford, 3GI,
AssetWorks, VRM and TMR were each accounted for as a purchase. See "Business
Combinations and Acquisitions" below. Prior year amounts have been restated to
reflect the combinations with DMG and CSI. The Spectrum, Carrera and Phoenix
combinations


<PAGE>

were accounted for as immaterial poolings of interests and, accordingly, the
Company's previously issued financial statements were not restated to reflect
these combinations.

      The Company's revenues are generated from contracts with various payment
arrangements, including: (i) costs incurred plus a fixed fee ("cost-plus"); (ii)
fixed-price; (iii) performance-based criteria; and (iv) time and materials
reimbursement (utilized primarily by the Consulting Group). For the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1999, revenues from these contract types were approximately
25%, 37%, 19% and 19%, respectively, of total revenues. Traditionally, federal
government contracts have been cost-plus and a majority of the contracts with
state and local government agencies have been fixed-price and performance-based.
Fixed price and performance-based contracts generally offer higher margins but
typically involve more risk than cost-plus or time and materials reimbursement
contracts because the Company is subject to the risk of potential cost overruns
or inaccurate revenue estimates.

      The Government Operations Group's contracts generally contain base periods
of one or more years as well as one or more option periods that may cover more
than half of the potential contract duration. As of September 30, 1999, the
Company's average Government Operations contract duration was 2 3/4 years. The
Company's Consulting Group contracts have performance periods of one month to in
excess of two years.

      The Company's most significant expense is cost of revenues, which consists
primarily of project related employee salaries and benefits, subcontractors,
computer equipment and travel expenses. The Company's ability to accurately
predict personnel requirements, salaries and other costs as well as to
effectively manage a project or achieve certain levels of performance can have a
significant impact on the service costs related to the Company's fixed price and
performance-based contracts. Service cost variability has little impact on
cost-plus arrangements because allowable costs are reimbursed by the client. The
profitability of the Consulting Group's contracts is largely dependent upon the
utilization rates of its consultants and the success of its performance-based
contracts.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of management,
marketing and administration costs including salaries, benefits, travel,
recruiting, continuing education and training, facilities costs, printing,
reproduction, communications and equipment depreciation.

         BUSINESS  COMBINATIONS AND ACQUISITIONS

         As part of its growth strategy, the Company expects to continue to

</TABLE>

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

         REVENUES. Total revenues increased 25.4% to $105.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 from $84.2 million for the same period in 1999.
Government Operations Group revenues increased 17.3% to $55.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 from $47.4 million for the same period in 1999.
This increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of contracts in
three of the four divisions in the Government Operations Group, and the
contribution of $4.0 million of revenue the 2000 quarter from CHDR and TMR,
which were both acquired after the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Consulting
Group revenues increased 35.9% to $49.9 million for the three months ended June
30, 2000 from $36.7 million for the same period in 1999. Approximately $8.8
million of the $13.2 million increase in the Consulting Group revenues were
revenues from PSI, Crawford, 3GI and AssetWorks, which companies were acquired
after the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The remainder of the increased
revenues was the result of an increase in the number of contracts in the
Consulting Group.

         GROSS PROFIT. Total gross profit increased 31.3% to $33.7 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $25.7 million for the same period in
1999. Government Operations Group gross profit increased 34.1% to $12.7 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $9.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of Government Operations Group revenues,
Government Operations Group gross profit increased to 22.9% for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 from 20.0% for the same period in 1999. The increase was
primarily due to improved margins on certain projects in two of the four
divisions of the Government Operations Group. The Consulting Group gross
profit increased 29.6% to $21.0 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 from $16.2 million for the same period in 1999 due to
the increased revenues offset



<PAGE>

by a decreased gross profit percentage. As a percentage of Consulting Group
revenues, Consulting Group gross profit decreased to 42.1% for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 from 44.1% for the same period in 1999,
primarily due to reduced margins on a few projects in four divisions within the
Group.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Total selling, general
and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased 30.3% to $18.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 from $13.8 million for the same period in 1999.
The increase in SG&A expenses was due to the increased size of the Company in
terms of revenue, generated from both internal growth and from acquisitions
which is reflected in the increase in the number of employees to 4,100 at June
30, 2000 from 3,155 at June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expenses
increased to 17.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 16.4% for the
same period in 1999, primarily due to an increase in the number of personnel and
capability of the Government & Investor Relations unit and the Information
Services unit.

         AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND OTHER ACQUISITION-RELATED INTANGIBLES. In
the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company incurred $1.1 million of
amortization expense related to the $56.4 million of goodwill and other
acquisition-related intangible assets it recorded in connection with the
acquisitions of Roberts, Unison, CHDR, PSI, Crawford, 3GI, AssetWorks, VRM and
TMR.

         INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME. The decrease in interest and other income to
$0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $1.0
million for the same period in 1999 was due to a decrease in the average balance
of invested funds due to the use of cash for business acquisitions discussed
above (see "Business Combinations and Acquisitions.")

         PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income tax for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 was 41.9% of income before income taxes as compared
to 40.8% for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in percentages
was due to an increase in the amounts of certain expense items, primarily
amortization of intangible assets, some of which are not deductible for tax
purposes.

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

         REVENUES. Total revenues increased 24.0% to $288.8 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 2000 from $232.8 million for the same period in 1999.
Government Operations Group revenues increased 24.9% to $160.8 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 2000 from $128.8 million for the same period in 1999.
This increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of contracts in all
four divisions in the Government Operations Group and the contribution of $5.2
million of revenue during the nine months ended June 30, 2000 from CHDR and TMR,
which were both acquired subsequent to June 30, 1999. Consulting Group revenues
increased 23.0% to $127.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 from
$104.0 million for the same period in 1999. Approximately $18.1 million of the
$23.9 million increase in the Consulting Group revenues were revenues from
Unison, PSI, Crawford, 3GI and VRM, which companies were acquired after
the start of the nine month period ended June 30, 1999. The remainder of the
increased revenues was the result of an increase in the number of contracts in
the Consulting Group.

         GROSS PROFIT. Total gross profit increased 30.9% to $90.6 million for
the nine months ended June 30, 2000 from $69.2 million for the same period in
1999. Government Operations Group gross profit increased 45.5% to $36.2 million
for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 from $24.9 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of Government Operations Group revenues,
Government Operations Group gross profit increased to 22.5% for the nine months
ended June 30, 2000 from 19.3% for the same period in 1999. The increase was due
to improved margins in three of the four divisions of the Government Operations
Group. That increase was offset by the incurrence of costs related to two
contracts with the City of New York for which no revenue was recognized due to
disputes regarding the registration of the contracts. See "Legal Proceedings."
The Consulting Group gross profit increased 22.7% to $54.3 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 2000 from $44.3 million for the same period in 1999
closely paralleling the increase in Consulting Group Revenues.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Total SG&A expenses
increased 28.6% to $40.7 million


<PAGE>

for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 from $37.9 million for the same period
in 1999. The increase in SG&A expenses was due to the increased size of the
Company in terms of revenue, generated from both internal growth and from
acquisitions, and in the increase in the number of employees to 4,100 at June
30, 2000 from 3,155 at June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expenses
increased to 16.9% for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 from 16.3% for the
same period in 1999, primarily due to the increase in the number of personnel
and capability of the Government & Investor Relations unit and the Information
Services unit, offset by the receipt of $819,000 from the settlement of a legal
action in the second quarter of fiscal year 2000.

         AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND OTHER ACQUISITION-RELATED INTANGIBLES. In
the nine months ended June 30, 2000, the Company incurred $1.7 million of
amortization expense related to the $56.4 million of goodwill and other
acquisition-related intangible assets it recorded in connection with the
acquisitions of Roberts, Unison, CHDR, PSI, Crawford, 3GI, AssetWorks, VRM and
TMR.

         INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME. The increase in interest and other income to
$2.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $2.2 million
for the same period in 1999 was due to an increase in the average interest rates
earned on invested funds and to an increase in the amount of average invested
funds.

         PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income tax for the nine
months ended June 30, 2000 was 41.5% of income before income taxes as compared
to 40.6% for the nine months ended June 30, 1999. The difference in percentages
was due to an increase in the amounts of certain expense items, primarily
amortization of intangible assets, some of which are not deductible for tax
purposes.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         For the nine months ended June 30, 2000, cash provided by operations
was $6.5 million as compared to cash provided by operations of $15.7 million for
the nine months ended June 30, 1999. The primary reason for the decrease in cash
provided by operations was the increase in accounts receivable of $11.8
million during the nine months ended June 30, 2000 compared to a much smaller
increase in accounts receivable of $0.7 million during the nine months
ended June 30, 1999. Accounts receivable at June 30, 2000 total $96.1 million
compared to $74.0 million at June 30, 1999, an increase of 29.8% which
reflects the revenue growth from the June, 1999 quarter to the June, 2000
quarter of 25.4%. Measured in days of sales outstanding ("DSOs"), the
amounts of accounts receivable represent 83 and 80 days of sales at
June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, respectively. The other major factor
affecting cash flow from operations during the nine months ended
June 30, 2000 is the increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of
billings (unbilled accounts receivable) of $5.9 million. Measured in DSOs, these
assets have increased to $23.8 million and 20 DSOs at June 30, 2000 from $14.0
million and 15 DSOs at June 30, 1999. The increase in the amount of accounts
receivable, billed and unbilled, of 8 DSOs is primarily due to the increase in
the mix of Consulting Group revenues from 43.7% of the total revenues for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 to 47.3% for the three months ended June 30,
2000. The Consulting Group accounts receivable, both billed and unbilled, have
historically averaged significantly higher levels than the Government Operations
Group, and recent Consulting Group acquisitions carried similarly high levels of
accounts receivables.

         For the nine months ended June 30, 2000, cash used in investing
activities was $28.7 million as compared to $68.3 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 1999. During the nine months ended June 30, 2000, the Company
used $51.2 million in cash for the acquisition of businesses, $2.4 million in
cash for the purchase of property and equipment, and $1.4 million in cash for
capitalized software development costs, and generated cash from sales of
marketable securities totaling $26.3 million. Cash used in investing activities
for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 primarily consisted of the purchase of
marketable securities totaling $48.7 million with the proceeds from the
secondary offering which occurred in December 1998, the purchase of property and
equipment totaling $9.9 million and the acquisition of businesses totaling $9.6
million.

         Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended June 30,
2000 was $1.7 million, which consisted of payments on borrowings of $3.6 million
offset by sales of stock totaling $1.9 million to employees through the
Company's employee stock purchase plan and equity incentive plan. During the
nine months ended June 30, 1999, cash provided by financing activities consisted
primarily of the proceeds of $61.0 million from the


<PAGE>

secondary offering.

         Management believes that the Company will have sufficient resources to
meet its cash needs over the next 12 months, which may include start-up costs
associated with new contract awards, obtaining additional office space,
establishing new offices, investment in upgraded systems infrastructure or
acquisitions of other businesses and technologies. Cash requirements beyond the
next 12 months will depend on the Company's profitability, its ability to manage
working capital requirements, its rate of growth, the amounts spent on business
acquisitions, if any, and the leasing of new office space, if any.

         FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

         Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about
the Company's confidence and strategies and the Company's expectations regarding
its ability to obtain future contracts, expand its market opportunities or
attract highly-skilled employees are forward looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include legislative
changes and political developments adverse to the privatization of the provision
of government services; risks related to completed or future acquisitions;
