         Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

                               September 30, 1998


Note 1  Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
        have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
        principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
        to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
        include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
        accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
        opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
        accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
        included. Operating results for the nine month period ended September
        30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
        expected for the year ended December 31, 1998.

        The Company computes its income tax provision on a quarterly basis. The
        Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income
        taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect
        the tax consequences of future years differences between the tax basis
        of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each
        period based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to
        the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable
        income. A valuation allowance is provided against the future benefit of
        deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not
        that the future tax benefits associated with the deferred tax asset will
        not be realized.

        For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
        and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Registration Statement
        on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-43377) and Post-Effective Amendment 
        No. 1 to Form S-1 Registration Statement (Registration No. 333-66809)
        filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 1998.

Note 2  Stockholders' Equity

        The Company made its initial public offering on March 12, 1998, pursuant
        to an effective registration statement covering 2,400,000 shares of $.01
        par value common stock plus an additional 360,000 shares for an
        overallotment option granted to the underwriters. Shortly before the
        effective date, the size of the offering was increased by 300,000 shares
        plus an additional 45,000 shares to increase the overallotment option.
        The additional 345,000 shares were sold by the Company (100,000 shares)
        and selling stockholders (245,000 shares) at the public offering price
        of $12.00 per share. While the increase in size of the offering was
        reflected in the final prospectus, a registration statement pursuant to
        Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 covering the additional
        345,000 shares was not filed with the Commission. The Company has filed
        a registration statement covering these shares, but such registration
        statement has not yet been declared effective.

        As provided in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
        certain persons purchasing securities sold in violation of its
        registration provisions may recover the consideration paid for such
        securities with interest upon the tender of such securities, less the
        amount of any income received, or damages if such person no longer owns
        the securities. The maximum rescission liability with respect to the
        100,000 unregistered shares sold by the Company would be $1,200,000
        (100,000 shares at $12 per share) plus interest. The Company has not
        recognized a liability based on the rescission of the 100,000
        unregistered shares it sold because, as noted above, the right to
        rescind rests only with a purchaser in the initial public offering who
        still holds such shares. Given the large trading volume in the Company's
        common stock subsequent to the offering (indicating substantial turnover
        in share ownership) and the inability to identify which securities were
        unregistered, the Company is of the belief that it is not probable that
        it will be required to effect an actual rescission, as opposed to paying
        rescissionary damages. As indicated previously, shareholders who
        purchased unregistered shares in the offering may recover damages if
        they sold such securities at a loss. Based upon the preliminary status
        of the lawsuit described in Note 3 below, the range of such damages, if
        any, cannot reasonably be estimated. The Company and the selling

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
        stockholders in the initial public offering have entered into an
        agreement with the Company's former securities counsel which served as
        the Company's counsel in the initial public offering which would hold
        the Company and the selling stockholders harmless for damages which
        might result from any claims as a consequence of the aforementioned
        circumstances. In view of such hold harmless agreement, and in light of
        assurances the Company has received concerning the professional
        indemnity insurance maintained by such counsel, the Company does not
        believe that any claims relating to the foregoing will have a material
        adverse effect on its financial condition. In addition, plaintiffs in
        the purported consolidated class action seek rescission of the sales of
        the shares in the initial public offering and unspecified damages,
        including rescissionary damages, interest, costs and fees. 
        See Note 3--Legal Proceedings.

        The Company sold 2,200,000 of the aforementioned shares, 2,100,000 of
        which were registered, and received net proceeds of $24,552,000 after
        reduction for underwriting discounts and commissions and before other 
        offering expenses in the amount of $1,341,000.

        Simultaneously with the initial public offering, all the holders of
        Series A and B convertible preferred stock exchanged their 200 shares
        for 1,181,750 shares of common stock. Dividends accrued during the
        period and previously unamortized offering expenses have been recognized
        as a reduction to net income. The Company has paid dividends of $298,000
        from the proceeds.

        On February 5, 1998 the Company effected a 1-for-2 reverse stock split.
        All shares and per share data have been retroactively restated.

Note 3  Legal Proceedings

        On or about May 6, 1998, a complaint was filed in the United States
        District Court for the Southern District of New York by named plaintiffs
        Don M. Doney, Jr. and Madelyn J. McCabe against the Company, certain of
        the Company's officers and directors (Edward G. Caputo, Stephen L.
        Willcox, Robert B. Dixon, John J.C. Herndon, James M. Oates and Joseph
        D. Sargent) and the managing underwriters of the Company's initial
        public offering (Cowen & Company and Volpe Brown Whelan & Company, LLC)
        (the "Doney Litigation"). On or about June 22, 1998, an amended
        complaint relating to the Doney Litigation was filed in the United
        States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On or about
        May 8, 1998, a second complaint was filed in the United States District
        Court for the Southern District of New York by named plaintiff Chaile B.
        Steinberg against the same defendants. On or about June 26, 1998, a
        third complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the
        Southern District of New York by named plaintiff Michael Makinen against
        the same defendants. Each of the plaintiffs purported to represent a
        class consisting of purchasers of common stock pursuant to the initial
        public offering. These actions were consolidated by order of the United
        States District Count for the Southern District of New York, and a
        consolidated complaint styled In Re Command Systems, Inc. Securities
        Litigation was filed on September 30, 1998. The consolidated complaint
        alleges that defendants violated the Act and claims the sale of
        unregistered shares breached the disclosure and filing requirements of
        the Act. The plaintiffs seek rescission of the sales of the shares in
        the initial public offering and unspecified damages, including
        rescissionary damages, interest, costs and fees. Such litigation, if
        concluded in favor of the plaintiffs, could have a material adverse
        effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
        operations. Since the Litigation is in the early stage, the
        Company cannot currently estimate a range of loss.

Note 4  Earnings Per Share

        In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per
        Share." This statement replaced the calculation of primary and fully
        diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share.
        Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any
        dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities.
        Diluted earnings per share are very similar to the previously reported
        fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all
        periods have been presented, and where appropriate, restated to conform
        to the Statement No. 128 requirements.

                                       7

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per

Note 5  Comprehensive Income

During 1998, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income. Statement No. 130 requires the reporting of comprehensive income in
addition to net income from operations. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive
financial reporting methodology that indicates disclosure of certain financial
information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net
income.

The following table represents the components of comprehensive income for the
three and nine months ended September 30:

     "SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT
OF 1995  Statements contained in this document which are not historical fact are
forward-looking statements based upon management's current expectations that are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements.
Forward looking statements include statements regarding the expected growth of
Year 2000 solutions services, the Company's goals and strategies, the demand for
IT services and the ability of the Company to capitalize on offshore investments
and infrastructure.  Such statements are subject to a number of risks including
the risks associated with the failure to obtain contracts to perform higher
margin services, variability of quarterly operations and financial results, the
ability of the Company to manage growth, the competitive market for technical
personnel, reliance on significant customers, risks associated with the Year
2000 solutions services offering and the finite nature of demand for Year 2000
solutions services, competition, rapid technological change and dependence on
the Company's Offshore Technology Resource Center.

OVERVIEW

     The Company is a solutions provider offering IT services based on leading
technologies, including a wide variety of technology, software and hardware
solutions (including procurement), education and management consulting services.
Historically, the Company has derived the majority of its revenue from the
Company's traditional IT staff augmentation services and software and hardware
solutions. However, as a result of the introduction of Year 2000 solutions
services in December 1996 and the significant demand for such services, a
significant percentage of the Company's revenue during the year ended December
31, 1997 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998, was derived from Year
2000 solutions services. Year 2000 solutions services, as well as other complete
project and solution services, typically provide higher margins than the
Company's IT staff augmentation and software and hardware solutions.

The following table sets forth the revenue percentages by line of business:

     As indicated above, revenue from Year 2000 projects and other higher margin
services decreased as a percentage of the Company's revenue in the three months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998. For the
three months ended September 30, 1998, revenue from Year 2000 engagements and
other application development services continued to decrease as a percentage of
the Company's total revenue. There can be no assurance that revenue from Year
2000 projects and other 

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
higher margin services will not continue to decrease as a percentage of the
Company's revenue for future periods.

     The Company believes that as a result of the detonation of nuclear devices
in India in May 1998, there may be some adverse economic repercussions caused by
the institution of sanctions or other similar actions, the effects of which are
unknown to management at this time. Although the U.S. government has decided to
lift some sanctions, other sanctions remain. No assurance can be given that such
actions would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 Compared With Three Months Ended 
September 30, 1997

      Revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 1998 increased by
30.0% to $8,921,000 from $6,861,000 for the same period ended September 30,
1997.  This resulted primarily from an increase in revenue generated from Year
2000 solutions services.  For the three month period ended September 30, 1998,
as compared to the three month periods ended March 31 and June 30, 1998 revenue
from Year 2000 projects and other higher margin services decreased as a
percentage of the Company's revenue and was the same as the year ended  December
31, 1997.  There can be no assurance that revenue from Year 2000 and other
higher margin services will not continue to decrease as a percentage of the
Company's revenue for future periods.

      Gross profit for the three month period ended September 30, 1998 increased
by 4.4% to $2,591,000 from $2,481,000 for the three month period ended September
30, 1997.  Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 29.0% for the
three month period ended September 30, 1998 from 36.2% for the three month
period ended September 30, 1997.  This decrease resulted primarily from lower
margins generated by the Company's traditional IT staff augmentation services.
As the Company previously announced,  gross profit as a percentage of revenue
may be affected as the Company continues to strive to shift an increasing
percentage of its business from IT staff augmentation to a project orientation.

                                       10

Senior management seeks to manage the Company's personnel utilization rates by
carefully monitoring its needs and basing most personnel hires on specific
project requirements.  Specifically, the Company experienced low rates of
employee utilization in its Offshore Technology Resource Center in Bangalore,
India during the three months ended September 30, 1998 as a result of
investments which were not accompanied by the expected increase in complete
projects and solutions business.  Due to hiring and employment practices and
applicable law in India, the Company is unable to effect appropriate reductions
of staff at its Bangalore, India facility in response to revenue shortfalls. In
addition, the Company's gross margin for the three months ended September 30,
1998 was adversely affected reflecting a less profitable mix of business and
reduced margins from Year 2000 and other project business.

     Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries
and employee benefits for selling and administrative personnel as well as
travel, telecommunications and occupancy costs for the Company's U.S. and India
operations. These expenses are relatively fixed in advance of any particular
quarter. To the extent revenue does not increase at a rate commensurate with
these expenses, the Company's results of operations could be materially and
adversely affected. Selling, general and administrative expense, net of
amortization for goodwill, for the three month period ended September 30, 1998
increased by 46.7% to $3,049,000 from $2,079,000 for the three month period
ended September 30, 1997. The increase is primarily attributable to additional
sales and project management personnel, which were added in anticipation of
growth in complete projects and solutions business which, as stated above, did
not occur to the extent anticipated. 

     Amortization of goodwill for the three month period ended September 30,
1998 was $114,000. On December 31, 1997, the Company purchased the 49% minority
interest in its Offshore Technology Resource Center from Phoenix Home Life
Mutual Insurance Company ("PHL"). The Company accounted for this transaction as
a purchase and recognized the $6,845,000 excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill.

     The loss from operations for the three month period ended September 30,
1998 was $573,000 compared to income of $402,000 for the three month period
ended September 30, 1997. The loss from operations as a percentage of revenue
was 6.5% for the three month period ended September 30, 1998 as compared to
income of 5.9% for the three month period ended September 30, 1997. The loss
from operations for the three months ended September 30, 1998 was primarily due
to increased selling, general and administrative costs associated primarily with
the Company's increase in sales and project management personnel which were not
accompanied by expected growth in complete projects and solutions business, as
well as reduced gross margins reflecting low rates of employee utilization in
the Offshore Technology Resource Center, a less profitable mix of business and
reduced margins from Year 2000 and other project business.

     Net interest income was $319,000 for the three month period ended September
30, 1998 compared to net interest expense of $73,000 for the three month period
ended September 30, 1997. The interest income was attributable to interest
earned from investment of the net proceeds of the Company's initial public
offering in commercial paper and other cash equivalent instruments during the
three month period ended September 30, 1998. Interest expense in 1997 was a
result of bank borrowings required to provide working capital to the Company and
accrued interest expense associated with the note purchase agreement (the
"Agreement") with PHL (see the Company's registration statement on Form S-1).

     The income tax benefit for the three month period ended September 30, 1998
was $66,000 as a result of book losses recorded in the United States company.
The Company computes its income tax provision on a quarterly basis and provides
for deferred income taxes based upon the difference between the financial
statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is
provided when necessary to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount expected
to be realized.

     From its inception through August 23, 1997, the Company elected to be taxed
under the S corporation provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"). An S corporation generally is not subject to income tax at
the corporate level (with certain exceptions under state income tax 

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
laws). This election was terminated in conjunction with the formation of the
Company as a Delaware holding corporation and the issuance of its Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock.

     In connection with the termination of its S Corporation status, the Company
was required by the Code to change its method of accounting for tax reporting
purposes from the cash method to the accrual method. This change resulted in a
one-time charge to earnings in the three months ended September 30, 1997 of
$693,000 resulting from differences (of approximately $2.0 million) in the tax
treatment of certain of the Company's assets and liabilities under the cash and
accrual methods of accounting and is reflected through an increase in current
and deferred income tax liabilities. Under current statutes, this liability will
be payable over a period of four years.

     As a result of the foregoing, the net loss was $188,000 for the three month
period ended September 30, 1998 as compared to a net loss of $503,000 for the
three month period ended September 30, 1997. The loss in 1997 has been increased
by the preferred stock dividends and accretion to arrive at the loss
attributable to common stockholders. Therefore, basic and diluted loss per share
were $0.02 for the three month period ended September 30, 1998 as compared to a
basic and diluted loss per share of $0.12 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1997. The weighted average number of shares outstanding used in
the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share increased over the
comparable period as a result of shares issued in conjunction with the Company's
March 12, 1998 initial public offering.


     Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 Compared With Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1997

     Revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 increased by
44.0% to $25,552,000 from $17,742,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997.  This resulted primarily from an increase in revenue generated from Year
2000 solutions services.  As compared to the year ended December 31, 1997,
revenue from Year 2000 projects and other higher margin services for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 increased as a percentage of the Company's
revenue.  However, revenue from Year 2000 projects and other higher margin
services for the three months ended September 30, 1998, decreased as a
percentage of the Company's revenue as compared to the three month periods ended
March 31 and June 30, 1998 and were the same as the year ended December 31,
1997.  There can be no assurance that revenue from Year 2000 and other higher
margin services will not continue to decrease as a percentage of the Company's
revenue for future periods.

     Gross profit for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 increased
by 47.6% to $8,162,000 from $5,529,000 for the nine month period ended September
30, 1997.  Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 31.9% for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1998 from 31.2% for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1997.  The slight increase resulted primarily from a larger
amount of the Company's revenue being derived from Year 2000 solutions services
which typically carry higher margins than the Company's traditional IT staff
augmentation services.  This was offset by a decrease in the margin for
traditional IT staff augmentation services in the second and third quarters of
1998 and as a result of low rates of employee utilization in India, a less
profitable mix of business and reduced margins for Year 2000 and other projects
business. However, the Company's gross margin for the three month periods ended
September 30, 1998 and June 30, 1998 decreased as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1998 reflecting low rates of employee utilization in the
Offshore Technology Resource Center, a less profitable mix of business and
reduced margins from Year 2000 and other project business.

     Selling, general and administrative expense, net of amortization for
goodwill, for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 increased by 57.9%
to $8,344,000 from $5,284,000 for the nine month period ended September 30,
1997. The increase is primarily attributable to additional sales and project
management personnel, which were added in anticipation of growth in complete
projects and solutions business.

     Amortization of goodwill for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998
was $342,000, relating to the Company's purchase of the 49% minority interest in
its Offshore Technology Resource 

                                       12

Center from PHL in December 31, 1997. The Company accounted for this transaction
as a purchase and recognized the $6,845,000 excess of the purchase price over
the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill.

     Operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 lost $524,000
compared to income of $245,000 for the nine month period ended September 30,
1997. Loss from operations as a percentage of revenue was (2.1)% for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1998 as compared to income of 1.4% for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997.

     Net interest income was $610,000 for the nine month period ended 
September 30, 1998 compared to net interest expense of $241,000 for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997. The interest income was attributable to
interest earned from investment of the net proceeds of the Company's initial
public offering in commercial paper and other cash equivalent instruments during
the nine month period ended September 30, 1998. Interest expense in 1997 was a
result of bank borrowings required to provide working capital to the Company and
accrued interest expense associated with the Agreement with PHL (see the
Company's registration statement on form S-1). In addition, during the nine
months ended September 30, 1998, the Company recognized a $90,000 foreign
currency exchange gain in connection with its U.S. dollar denominated cash and
receivable balances of the Offshore Technology Resource Center in Bangalore,
India.

     The income tax benefit for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998
was $115,000, as a result of reversing the first quarter's income tax provision
and the utilization of deferred tax credits and book losses recorded in the
United States company. The Company computes its income tax provision on a
quarterly basis and provides for deferred income taxes based upon the difference
between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities. A
valuation allowance is provided when necessary to reduce the deferred tax asset
to the amount expected to be realized.

      From its inception through August 23, 1997, the Company elected to be
taxed under the S corporation provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"). An S corporation generally is not subject to income tax
at the corporate level (with certain exceptions under state income tax laws).
This election was terminated in conjunction with the formation of the Company as
a Delaware holding corporation and the issuance of its Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock.

     In connection with the termination of its S Corporation status, the Company
was required by the Code to change its method of accounting for tax reporting
purposes from the cash method to the accrual method. This change resulted in a
one-time charge to earnings in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 of
$693,000 resulting from differences (of approximately $2.0 million) in the tax
treatment of certain of the Company's assets and liabilities under the cash and
accrual methods of accounting and is reflected through an increase in current
and deferred income tax liabilities. Under current statutes, this liability will
be payable over a period of four years.

     As a result of the foregoing, net income was $291,000 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1998 as compared to a net loss of $853,000 for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1997. Income for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1998 has been reduced by the preferred stock dividends and
accretion, and the loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 has
been increased, to arrive at income (loss) attributable to common stockholders.
Therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.0 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1998 as compared to a basic and diluted loss per
share of $0.20 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997.  The weighted
average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and
diluted earnings per share increased over the comparable period as a result of
shares issued in conjunction with the Company's March 12, 1998 initial public
offering.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

     Since inception, the Company has financed its operations and capital
expenditures primarily with internally generated cash flows, borrowings under
its credit line facilities, proceeds from the Agreement with PHL (see the
Company's registration statement on form S-1) and proceeds from the issuance of
common stock.

     The Company's operating activities used $1,680,000 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1998 compared to $850,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997.  The use of cash was primarily due to an increase in
accounts receivable.

     The Company used cash of $1,018,000 for capital expenditures during the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 to support planned sales growth.  The
Company spent $1,453,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, which
was primarily related to the Offshore Technology Resource Center.

     The Company's financing activities provided $ 21,522,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and $2,532,000 for the same period in 1997. In
March 1998, the Company issued and sold 2,200,000 shares of $.01 par value
common stock for $12.00 per share in its initial public offering. Of the
2,200,000 shares sold by the Company, 100,000 shares were not registered. In
addition, 245,000 shares sold by selling stockholders in the initial public
offering in March 1998 were not covered by a registration statement. The Company
has filed a registration statement covering the 345,000 unregistered shares, but
such registration statement has not yet been declared effective. As provided in
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), certain persons purchasing
securities sold in violation of the registration provisions of the Securities
Act may recover the consideration paid for such securities with interest upon
the tender of such securities, less the amount of any income received, or
damages if such person no longer owns the securities. The maximum rescission
liability with respect to the 100,000 unregistered shares sold by the Company
would be $1,200,000 (100,000 shares at $12 per share) plus interest. The Company
has not recognized a liability based on the rescission of the 100,000
unregistered shares it sold because, as noted above, the right to rescind rests
only with a purchaser in the initial public offering who still holds such
shares. Given the large trading volume in the Company's common stock subsequent
to the offering (indicating substantial turnover in share ownership) and the
inability to identify which securities were unregistered, the Company is of the
belief that it is not probable that it will be required to effect an actual
rescission, as opposed to paying rescissionary damages. As indicated previously,
shareholders who purchased unregistered shares in the offering may recover
damages if they sold such securities at a loss. Based upon the preliminary
status of the lawsuit described in Note 3 above, the range of such damages, if
any, cannot reasonably be estimated. The Company and the stockholders who sold
shares in the initial public offering have entered into an agreement with the
Company's former securities counsel which served as the Company's counsel in the
initial public offering which would hold the Company and those stockholders
harmless for damages which might result from any claims as a consequence of the
aforementioned circumstances. In view of this indemnification agreement, and in
light of assurances the Company has received concerning the professional
indemnity insurance maintained by such counsel, the Company does not believe
that any claims relating to the foregoing will have a material adverse effect on
its financial condition. Based on the status of the consolidated complaint, the
Company cannot currently estimate a range of loss.

     From the sale of the 2,200,000 shares in the initial public offering, the
Company received net proceeds of $24,552,000 after underwriting discounts and
commissions and before other offering expenses in the amount of $1,341,000.
Simultaneously with the initial public offering, the holders of Series A and B
Convertible Preferred Stock exchanged their 200 shares for 1,181,750 shares of
Common Stock. Dividends accrued during the period and previously unamortized
offering expenses have been recognized as a reduction to net income. The Company
has paid dividends of $298,000 from the proceeds. For the nine month period
ended September 30, 1997, cash was generated by exchanging subordinated notes
from the Agreement with PHL for 100 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock.

     As of September 30, 1998, the Company had $19,110,000 in cash and cash
equivalents and $23,208,000 of working capital. The Company had maintained a
$2.5 million credit facility, which expired on August 15, 1998. Effective
October 29, 1998, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with
People's Bank (the "Credit Facility"), which provides for a revolving line of
credit of up to $4.0 million for its U.S. operations. Borrowings under the line
of credit are secured by a valid first priority perfected security interest in
all business assets of Command Systems, Inc. Such security interest excludes the
assets of Command International Software Pvt. The Credit Facility will be 
primarily used to fund the Company's working capital requirements. The Credit
Facility will bear interest at a floating rate based upon prime plus 0% or at
the Company's option LIBOR plus 175 basis points for 30, 60 or 90 day periods.
LIBOR borrowings will be limited to a maximum of seven LIBOR maturities at one
time, with LIBOR borrowings in increments of $500,000. The Company was required
to pay a commitment fee of $22,000 at the time of closing. The Company is
required to maintain a minimum of the following: total net worth of five times
the Credit Facility, debt service coverage ratio of 3:1, interest coverage of
3:1 and a current ratio of 2:1.

     The Company believes that the net proceeds from the initial public
offering, together with other available funds, including the Credit Facility and
the cash flow expected to be generated from operations, will be adequate to
satisfy its current and planned operations over the next 12 months.

     Legal Proceedings

On or about May 6, 1998, a complaint was filed in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York by named plaintiffs Don M. Doney,
Jr. and Madelyn J. McCabe against the Company, certain of the Company's officers
and directors (Edward G. Caputo, Stephen L. Willcox, Robert B. Dixon, John J.C.
Herndon, James M. Oates and Joseph D. Sargent) and the managing underwriters of
the Company's initial public offering (Cowen & Company and Volpe Brown Whelan &
Company, LLC) (the "Doney Litigation").  On or about June 22, 1998, an amended
complaint relating to the Doney Litigation was filed in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York.  On or about May 8, 1998,
a second complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York by named plaintiff Chaile B. Steinberg against the
same defendants.  On or about June 26, 1998, a third complaint was filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by named
plaintiff Michael Makinen against the same defendants.  Each of the plaintiffs
purported to represent a class consisting of purchasers of common stock pursuant
to the initial public offering.  These actions were consolidated by order of the
United States District Count for the Southern District of New York, and a
consolidated complaint styled In Re Command Systems, Inc. Securities Litigation
was filed on September 30, 1998.  The consolidated complaint alleges that
defendants violated the Act and claims the sale of unregistered shares breached
the disclosure and filing requirements of the Act.  The plaintiffs seek
rescission of the sales of the shares in the initial public offering and
unspecified damages, including rescissionary damages, interest, costs and fees.
Such litigation, if concluded in favor of the plaintiffs, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. Since the litigation is in the early stage, the Company cannot
currently estimate a range of loss.

     Impact of the Year 2000 Issue.

     The Year 2000 Issue refers to potential problems with computer systems or
any equipment with computer chips or software that use dates where the date has
been stored as just two digits (e.g., 97 for 1997). On January 1, 2000, any
clock or date recording mechanism incorporating date sensitive software which
uses only two digits to represent the year may recognize a date using 00 as the
Year 1900 rather than the Year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruption of operations, including, among other things,
a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in
similar business activities.

     The Company has completed an assessment of its information systems to
determine the extent to which its existing systems correctly define the Year
2000. Those systems found not to be compliant have been upgraded by the vendors
of those systems except for certain purchased software packages which are
expected to be upgraded and brought into compliance by their vendors before the
Year 2000. The majority of the upgrades were implemented via standard
maintenance contracts, without costs. Only a nominal amount has been expended,
to date, and the remaining upgrades are expected to be implemented for minimal
cost. With respect to the information systems of third parties who are major
vendors of the Company, the Company will be seeking to obtain Year 2000
compliance certifications for those systems that relate to the Company's
business. These third parties include major hardware and software vendors, as
well as financial services providers. Most of the Company's major vendors have
made public statements indicating that they intend to cause their products and
services to be Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis. Based on the foregoing,
the Company has not to date developed contingency plans for failure by its major
vendors to provide Year 2000 compliant products and services. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Year 2000 issue will not affect the information
systems of the Company's major vendors as they relate to the Company's business,
or that any such impact of a major vendor's information system would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

Part II--Other Information

Item 1--Legal Proceedings

On or about May 6, 1998, a complaint was filed in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York by named plaintiffs Don M. Doney,
Jr. and Madelyn J. McCabe against the Company, certain of the Company's officers
