(1)      All options granted in this table vest at the rate of 20% one year
         following grant, plus 1/60th of the original amount per month
         thereafter over the next 48 months so that the grant is fully vested
         five years from the date of grant. The options continue in full force
         and effect upon a change in control, as defined in the Company's option
         plans, unless the acquiring company refuses to continue or assume the
         options or to substitute similar options, in which event the vesting of
         such options is accelerated. In addition, if the Named Executive
         Officer is terminated in connection with a change in control of the
         Company, the vesting of such options is accelerated as of the date of
         termination.

(2)      The potential realizable value is calculated based on the term of the
         option at its time of grant (10 years). It is calculated by assuming
         that the stock price on the date of grant appreciates at the indicated
         annual rate, compounded annually for the entire term of the option, and
         that the option is exercised and sold on the last day of its term for
         the appreciated stock price. No gain to the optionee is possible unless
         the stock price increases over the option term.

(1)  The value of unexercised in-the-money options is calculated based on the
     market value of the underlying securities, minus the exercise price, and
     assumes sale of the underlying securities on December 31, 1999, at a price
     of $15.50 per share, the fair market value of FCG's common stock on such
     date.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The Compensation Committee of the Board is composed of Jack O. Vance (Chairman),
David S. Lipson, Fatima Reep and Stephen E. Olson. Mr. Lipson is the co-founder
of Integrated Systems Consulting Group, Inc., and served as its Chief Executive
Officer prior to its acquisition by the Company in December 1998. Mr. Lipson

Committee.

FCG has an ongoing, non-contractual business relationship with First Ticket
Travel, whose sole proprietor is Fatima Reep, the widow of James A. Reep, former

year ended December 31, 1999, FCG purchased travel services from First Ticket
Travel in the amount of approximately $180,000.

</TABLE>

*      Represents beneficial ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding shares
       of FCG common stock.

(1)    Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the
       Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and generally
       includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Except as
       indicated by footnote, and subject to community property laws where
       applicable, FCG believes, based on information furnished by such persons,
       that the persons named in the table above have sole voting and investment
       power with respect to all shares of FCG common stock shown as
       beneficially owned by them. Percentage of beneficial ownership is based
       on 24,112,202 shares of FCG common stock outstanding as of April 1, 2000.

(2)    Certain shares held by the executive officers listed above are subject to
       repurchase at the original issuance price plus a growth factor. The
       growth factor is equal to the average interest rate compounded quarterly
       which FCG pays to a commercial lending institution in a calendar quarter
       (the "growth factor"). If FCG has no borrowings for a particular quarter
       then the growth factor is the prime rate on the first day of the quarter,
       as announced in the Wall Street Journal.

(3)    Shares listed include (a) 2,858,700 shares held by the Reep Family LLC,
       of which Fatima Reep is the Managing Member, and (b) 4,999 shares
       subject to stock options exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 2000.

(4)    The address of the Associate 401(k) and Stock Ownership Plan ("ASOP") is
       c/o First Consulting Group, Inc., 111 West Ocean Blvd., 4th Floor, Long
       Beach, California 90802. The ASOP's shares are held by New York Life as
       trustee of the ASOP. Shares held by the ASOP are beneficially owned by
       employees and former employees of FCG, including certain of its executive
       officers. The beneficial owners have the right to vote the shares of FCG
       common stock allocated to their accounts with respect to the approval or
       disapproval of any FCG merger or consolidation, recapitalization,
       reclassification, liquidation, dissolution, sale of substantially all
       assets of a trade or business, or such similar transaction. The
       beneficial owners also have the right to the fair market value of the
       stock allocated to their respective accounts.

(5)    Shares listed as held by Mr. Ziegler include (a) 9,749 shares subject to
       stock options exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 2000, (b) 4,404
       shares held in the ASOP, (c) 49,614 shares subject to

<PAGE>

       repurchase by FCG at a price equal to $0.57 per share plus the growth
       factor, and (d) 42,660 shares subject to repurchase by FCG at a price
       equal to $2.80 per share plus the growth factor.

(6)    Shares listed as held by Mr. Kramer include (a) 9,749 shares subject to
       stock options exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 2000, (b) 4,332
       shares held in the ASOP, and (c) 92,940 shares subject to repurchase by
       FCG at a price equal to $0.57 per share plus the growth factor.

(7)    Shares listed as held by Mr. Heck include (a) 9,749 shares subject to
       stock options exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 2000, and (b) 4,365
       shares held in the ASOP.

(8)    Shares listed as held by Mr. Nussbaum include (a) 12,999 shares subject
       to stock options exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 2000, (b) 4,404
       shares held in the ASOP, and (c) 75,066 shares subject to repurchase by
       FCG at a price equal to $0.57 per share plus the growth factor. In
       addition, 135,120 of the shares listed in the table are held by The
       Nussbaum Family Trust, a Revocable Living Trust, dated March 2, 1992, of
       which Mr. Nussbaum is trustee.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

STOCK PURCHASE LOANS. FCG requires each employee who is hired as or promoted to
the position of Vice President with FCG to hold shares Company common stock
equal to a multiple of their base salary. In the case of the named executive
officers, each must hold a minimum of two times his base salary. FCG has sold
its officers shares of Company common stock pursuant to its 1994 Restricted
Stock Plan, as amended (the "1994 Plan").

In connection with the sale of stock to its officers, FCG has made loans to
officers, including the named executive officers, equal to (i) the purchase
price of shares purchased under the 1994 Plan, and (ii) the exercise price and
any Federal and state taxes owed on exercise of options under FCG's stock option
plans. The loans are made pursuant to non-interest bearing promissory note
secured by the shares of stock held by the officer. In the event of any
nonpayment by an officer, the Company has recourse against the officer's
personal assets for 70% of the outstanding balance in excess of the value of the
security. Shares of stock purchased with the proceeds of the loan are held by
the Company as collateral against the associated loan.

Officers generally must repay each year the greater of 10% of the original
principal balance of the loan or one-half of that officer's after-tax bonus. Any
unpaid principal on each loan is due ten years following the date of the loan.

matter of policy the transactions were, and all future transactions between FCG
and any of its officers, directors or principal stockholders will be, approved
by a majority of the independent and disinterested members of the FCG Board,
will be on terms no less favorable to FCG than could be obtained from
unaffiliated third parties and will be in connection with bona fide business
purposes of FCG.
