                                   (Unaudited)


1.   OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     OAO  Technology  Solutions,  Inc. (the  "Company" or "OAOT") along with its
wholly  owned  subsidiaries,  provides  a wide range of  outsourced  information
technology solutions and professional  services including:  systems and software
engineering; the operation of large-scale service delivery centers and networks,
distributed system management,  application  development and maintenance;  staff
augmentation  services;  enterprise resource planning,  implementation  training
service, web enablement and e-business solutions; and state-of-the-art  software
solutions for the managed care marketplace. These services are organized through
four  business  lines:   Managed  Services;   Staff   Augmentation;   Enterprise
Application Solutions ("EAS"); and Healthcare IT Solutions.

     The condensed  consolidated  financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company without audit,  pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") and include,  in the opinion of
the management,  all adjustments,  consisting of normal  recurring  adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation of interim period results. Certain information
and footnote  disclosures  normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles have been condensed or
omitted  pursuant to such rules and  regulations.  The Company believes that its
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
condensed  consolidated  financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the  financial  statements  and notes thereto  included in the Company's  Annual
Report on Form  10-K for the year  ended  December  31,  1998.  The  results  of
operations for the three-month  period ended March 31, 1999, are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.   CREDIT AGREEMENTS

     The  Company  has  a  $10.0  million   Revolving   Credit   Agreement  (the
"Agreement") with a bank. The Agreement, which matures on May 31, 1999, provides
for a commitment  fee of 0.375% on the unused  portion and interest at the prime
rate or, at the Company's  option, at the bank's overnight base rate plus 2%, or
LIBOR plus 2%.  Borrowings  under the  Agreement  are limited to a percentage of
eligible billed receivables.  Based on eligible receivables as of March 31, 1999
OAOT had the entire $10 million  available  under the  Agreement.  The Agreement
also requires the maintenance of certain  financial  covenants and prohibits the
payment of dividends.  There were no borrowings  outstanding under the Agreement
as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998.


3.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic  earnings  per  share  has been  calculated  as net  earnings  divided  by
weighted-average common shares outstanding, while diluted earnings per share has
been  computed as net earnings  divided by weighted  average  common and diluted
shares  outstanding.  For the three-month  periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998
the Company's stock options outstanding  increased  outstanding common shares by
641,000  and 876,000  respectively,  for total  diluted  shares  outstanding  of
17,334,000 and 17,175,000, respectively.

4.   ACQUISITIONS

     OAO Services, Inc.

     On  July  28,  1998,  the  Company  completed  the  acquisition  of all the
outstanding  capital stock of OAO Services,  Inc.,  pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement  dated July 24,  1998  among OAO  Services,  Inc.,  the  Company,  OAO

     Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase  Agreement,  the purchase price
payable by the Company to the  Stockholders  in connection  with the acquisition
included (i) cash in the amount of $2,305,000, subject to certain purchase price
adjustments,  (ii)  the  payment  by OAOT  to the  bank  of  $4,561,000  for the
retirement  of  outstanding  debt under a financing  agreement  (of this amount,
$3,465,611  is a paydown of the portion of the debt  allocated  to the  Company,
with the remainder, being a payment of the balance allocated to OAOC), and (iii)
earn-out  payments  to the  Stockholders  in amounts  equal to 10% of the OAOT's
Pre-Tax Profit, as defined in the Stock Purchase  Agreement,  in excess, if any,

business day after the OAOT receipt of its audited financial  statements for the

at the beginning of that period.  No pro forma  information is presented for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 as the results of the OAO Services acquisition
were included in the Company's results of operations for the entire period.  The

been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of that time.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

understanding  of,  and  should  be  read in  conjunction  with,  the  Condensed
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  of the Company and Notes  thereto  included
elsewhere  in  this  quarterly   report.   Historical   results  and  percentage
relationships   among  any  amounts  in  these  financial   statements  are  not
necessarily indicative of trends in operating results for any future period. The
statements  which are not historical  facts contained in this quarterly  report,
including this Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and

strategic customer  relationships,  risks associated with fixed-price contracts,
competition in the industry,  ability to sustain and manage growth,  variability
of quarterly operating results,  general economic conditions,  dependence on key
personnel,  risks associated with international  sales and other risks described
herein and in the Company's other Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

respond to  requirements  that cannot be  sufficiently  defined to permit  fixed
prices.  There are also instances  where an engagement has started on a time and
material basis and evolved to a fixed-price  basis, as the  requirements  became
sufficiently defined.

     EAS services  are  generally  provided on a time and  material  contractual
basis.  The Company,  through its EAS service line,  provides  entire life cycle
services  for  organizations  and internet  website  enablement  and  e-business
applications.  These services range from initial  business  process modeling and
development,  through system installation and  implementation.  The Company also
provides  a full suite of  continuous  support  services  to help  maintain  and
upgrade these complex, mission-critical systems. The Company focuses its efforts
on public sector  customers as well as middle market  commercial  customers.  In
support of these efforts,  the Company has established  strategic  relationships
with SAP and Microsoft.

     The Company  provides  Healthcare  IT  Solutions  services  under  software
license agreements with end-users, mostly within the managed care segment of the
healthcare  industry via its MC400  software.  The  agreements  include  product
development,  customer  service,  installation  services,  training  and ongoing
support.  In addition,  other  services may be provided,  such as total  project
management, hardware planning and implementation, and custom programming.

     Quarterly  results can be affected by the Company's  level of investment in
the expansion and development of new service lines, as well as the  commencement
of new contracts and engagements,  the loss of strategic or end-user  customers,
the timing of personnel cost increases and the portion of revenues  derived from
new client engagements.

     The loss of IBM or Compaq as a  strategic  customer  or a  decrease  in the
revenue derived from the Company's relationships with either IBM or Compaq could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,  operating results and
financial  condition.  There can be no assurance that either strategic  customer
will renew existing contracts maturing within the next twelve months or continue
to  engage  the  Company's  services  at  historical  levels,  if  at  all.  The
termination  or non-renewal  of a strategic  customer's  contract by an end-user
customer could also have a material  adverse  effect on the Company's  business,
operating results and financial conditions.


Results of Operations

Revenues

     The  Company's  revenues  increased  55.2% to $35.7  million  for the three
months ended March 31, 1999,  compared to $23.0  million for the same prior year
period. Revenue increased  predominantly due to the acquisition of OAO Services,
Inc.  in July 1998 which  contributed  $16.1  million in revenues in the quarter
ended  March  31,  1999.  Other  new  businesses  including  e-commerce  and ERP
contributed $.9 million of revenues.  These new business revenues were offset by
decreased  revenues in the managed services and Healthcare IT businesses of $3.4
million  and  $.8  million,  respectively.  Managed  service  revenues  declined
primarily  due to  reductions  in the amount of work,  head count  downsizing on
continuing projects due to automation,  consolidation of sites insourcing (where
Company  functions were  transferred  back to internal  client  personnel),  and
elimination  of revenue on smaller,  non-recurring  projects  with its strategic
customers.

     During the three  months ended March 31, 1999,  the  Healthcare  IT segment
benefited  from  having an  installed  system  user  base.  Healthcare  revenues
declined $.8 million to $2.1 million from $2.9 million


                                       11
<PAGE>

for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The decrease
was due to less license revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

     The Company  signed a contract to provide ADM  services to AT&T in February
1999.  The  contract  is for a ten year term  with  estimated  revenues  of $150
million.  This contract  expands  OAOT's array of services and  diversifies  its
customer base.  The Company is developing an  applications  software  factory in
Moncton,  Canada  to  service  this  contract.  OAOT is also  marketing  its new
capability to other non-strategic customer companies.  Revenues during the three
months ended March 31, 1999 were  approximately  $.6 million and are expected to
grow in 1999 as more billable staff are added to the contract.

     The Company expects to expand its ADM business and successfully  market new
non-strategic  customer business in its managed services and staff  augmentation
segments.  OAOT will  simultaneously  work to renew its  existing  business  and
expand  participation in new business with its strategic partners as part of its
strategy to offset potential reductions in revenue from continuing projects with
its strategic partners.


Direct Costs

     The  Company's  direct  costs  increased  67.0% or $12.8  million  to $31.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999  compared to $19.1 million for
the same prior year period.  Direct costs attributable to the staff augmentation
segment  of  business  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999 were  $14.1
million.  Direct  costs  related  to the  managed  services  business  decreased
proportionately  to the reduction in revenue.  Direct costs consist primarily of
direct labor,  related fringe  benefits and indirect  direct costs of managing a
project or business unit. As a percentage of revenue,  direct costs increased to
89.2%  for the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1999,  compared  to 83% for the
comparable periods in 1998.

     Gross  margin  decreased  $.1  million  or 1.8% to $3.8  million  from $3.9
million for the three  months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The
decline in gross margin was due to: 1) the Company's increased investment in new
business segments. These new product offerings include e-business enablement and
enterprise  application  development  and  implementation.  2)  a  reduction  in
HealthCare IT margin; and 3) a reduction of managed service gross margin.  These
declines were primarily offset by gross margin earned by the staff  augmentation
business for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

     The Company's enterprise application solutions investments are still in the
early  stage and are  important  to  implementing  OAOT's  e-business  strategy.
Additional  investments  are  expected  to be  incurred  in 1999  to grow  these
businesses.

     The decline in the  Healthcare  IT segment gross margin was due to a change
in the revenue mix of the  business.  For the three months ended March 31, 1999,
revenues were comprised of software services  consisting of  implementation  and
customization revenue which have a lower margin than license fee revenue.

     Gross margin for managed  services  declined during the quarter ended March
31, 1999  compared to the same prior year period due to increased  investment to
develop the ADM business, including the software applications factory located in
Moncton,  Canada,  and  reduced  head  count  and  other  pricing  pressures  on
continuing  projects with its strategic  customers.  The Company expects to make
additional  investments  during  1999 in its  ADM  business.  Additionally,  the
Company  expects  continuing  pricing  pressure  on existing  projects  with its
strategic  customers.  The combined investment in its ADM business


                                       12
<PAGE>

and strategic  customer  pricing  pressure  could  potentially  cause  continued
reductions in gross margin,  gross margin percentage and revenue for its managed
services business.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased  13.3%  to $3.4
million in the three months  ended March 31, 1999,  compared to $3.0 million for
the same  prior  year  period.  As a  percentage  of  revenues,  these  expenses
decreased  to 9.7% for the three  months ended March 31, 1999 from 13.2% for the
same prior  period.  Aggregate  costs  increased due to the  acquisition  of OAO
Services, Inc. in July 1998. The aggregate percentage decrease was primarily the
result of reductions in general and  administrative  costs.  The Company reduced
the cost of outside  consultants,  administrative  programs  and  administrative
infrastructure during the three months ended March 31, 1999.

Other

     Interest income  decreased  approximately  $.2 million in the quarter ended
March 31, 1999 compared to the same prior year period due to both lower interest
rates and invested cash. The Company made  acquisitions  with the Initial Public
Offering proceeds in 1998 which decreased  invested cash during the three months
ended March 31, 1999 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1998.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash and cash  equivalents  were $11.1  million as of March 31,  1999,  and
$19.7 million at March 31, 1998.  Cash flows  provided by  operations  were $1.7
million for the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 versus $1.5  million of cash
flow used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Cash provided
by operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was primarily the result
of an increase in accounts  payable due to the Company  improving  management of
vendor credit.

     The Company's managed services and staff augmentation  segments of business
are not capital intensive, and expenditures in any given year are ordinarily not
significant.  The Company expects to incur capitalized costs associated with the
enhancement  of existing  and  development  of new system  modules for its MC400
healthcare software during the remainder of 1999.

     The Company  currently has a $10.0 million  revolving credit agreement (the
"Agreement") with a commercial bank. Advances under the Agreement are limited to
80% of certain eligible  accounts  receivable of the Company.  Based on eligible
receivables  as of March 31,  1999,  OAOT had the entire $10  million  available
under the Agreement.  The Company is required to maintain certain  financial and
other  covenants under the Agreement with which it was in compliance as of March
31, 1999. As of March 31, 1999 there were no  outstanding  borrowings  under the
Agreement.

     The Company  currently  anticipates that its existing cash balances as well
as cash  generated from  operations  will be sufficient to satisfy its operating
cash needs for the foreseeable  future.  The Company is negotiating to renew the
Agreement,  which expires on May 31, 1999. OAOT believes that the Agreement will
be renewed or replaced  and that  additional  bank credit  would be available to
fund such operating and capital  requirements if the Company's cash needs expand
more rapidly than  expected.  In addition,  the Company could  consider  seeking
additional  public or private  debt or equity  financing  to fund future  growth
opportunities. No assurance can be given, however, that such bank credit or debt
or equity  financing  will be available  to the Company on terms and  conditions
acceptable to the Company, if at all.

Impact of the Year 2000 (Y2K) Issue

     The Company  recognizes the need to ensure that its operations  will not be
adversely  impacted  by Y2K  failures.  This  problem  is a result  of  computer
programs  having been written using two digits  (rather than four) to define the
applicable  year.  Any  information  technology  ("IT")  systems  that have time
sensitive  software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than
the year 2000, which could result in miscalculations and system failures.  As of
March 31,  1999,  the Company has  surveyed  all of its  business  and  critical
systems, and plans for replacement of non-compliant  equipment and software have
been put in place.  The Company is also in the process of  obtaining  compliance
certificates from its third party vendors.  The cost of the replacement  systems
is estimated at approximately $75,000, scheduled to be incurred during the first
nine months of 1999 in the normal course of business.  The Company is developing
a written contingency plan regarding the effect, if any, should any of its third
party vendors fail to deliver Y2K compliance.

     Based on its efforts to date,  the Company  believes that the vast majority
of both its IT and its non-IT  systems,  including  all critical  and  important
systems,  will remain up and running after  January 1, 2000.  At this time,  the
Company believes that the most likely  "worst-case"  scenerio involves potential
disruptions in areas in which the Company's  operations  must rely on such third
parties whose systems may not work  properly  after January 1, 2000.  While such
failures could affect important  operations of the Company and its subsidiaries,
whether directly or indirectly,  in a significant  manner, the Company cannot at
present  estimate  either the likelihood or the potential cost of such failures.
Additionally,  there  can be no  assurance  that the Year  2000  will not have a
material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  financial  position  of  results of
operations.

     The nature  and focus of the  Company's  efforts  to address  the year 2000
problem may be revised  periodically as new issues are identified.  In addition,
it  is  important  to  note  that  the  description  of  the  Company's  efforts
necessarily involves estimates and projections with respect to activities in the
future.  The estimates and  projections are subject to change as work continues,
and such changes may be substantial.


Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

     The Company  conducts  business  in foreign  countries,  primarily  Canada.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses were not material to the Company's
results of operations  for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.  OAOT
believes  its  foreign  currency  risk is related  primarily  to the  difference
between  amounts the Company  receives and  disburses in Canada in U.S.  Dollars
from U.S. dollar denominated  contracts.  The Company does not expect the amount
of foreign currency risk to be material in the future.  To date, the Company has
not entered into any significant  foreign currency forward exchange contracts or
other  derivative  financial   instruments  to  hedge  the  effects  of  adverse
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
