ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

     AnswerThink Consulting Group, Inc. ("AnswerThink" or the "Company")
provides integrated consulting and technology enabled solutions focused on the
Internet and web-enabled electronic commerce marketplace. It delivers a wide
range of integrated services (scalable solutions), including benchmarking best
practices, business process transformation, packaged software implementation,
Internet commerce, decision support technology, and Year 2000 solutions. These
solutions span multi-entity business functions (finance and administration,
human resources, information technology ("IT"), sales and customer support, and
supply chain management) and allow a business to reach beyond the enterprise
and link the people, processes and technologies of the extended value network
or "Interprise". The Company markets its services to senior executives in
organizations where business transformation and technology-enabled change can
have a significant competitive impact.

     The Company's knowledge-based approach to consulting combines the
knowledge and experience of its consultants with "best-practice" solutions and
a benchmarking knowledge base developed by The Hackett Group. The Company
leverages its knowledge base to propose and implement solutions to its clients'
most critical and complex business problems. The Company delivers its services
through integrated multidisciplinary project teams that include professionals
with both IT and business expertise. The Company believes its highly focused
service delivery model provides its customers with a lower risk of delivery and
a faster time to benefit as compared to the linear, "methodology based"
processes employed by many other IT consulting firms.

     The Company was formed in April 1997 by several former leaders of the IT
consulting practice of an international accounting firm. From the outset, the
Company made operational investments to develop a comprehensive market
strategy, build a scalable business infrastructure and create sophisticated
management information and service delivery systems capable of supporting a
large-scale consulting and IT services business. The Company has grown
principally through the recruitment of approximately 450 consultants. The
Company has also acquired several consulting and IT services businesses, each
of which brought to the Company complementary skills and customer
relationships. As of January 1, 1999, the Company had 657 consultants. The
Company supports its global solution delivery organization through a network of
14 offices located in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago,

                                       2
<PAGE>

Cleveland, Dallas, Iselin (NJ), Miami, New York, Philadelphia and Silicon
Valley. The Company has served a broad range of Fortune 1000 clients and other
sophisticated buyers of IT services.

     The Company completed its initial public offering on May 28, 1998 for
$38.5 million. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 1001
Brickell Bay Drive, Suite 3000, Miami, Florida 33131. Its telephone number is
(305) 375-8005.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

     The Internet is dramatically impacting the way businesses operate. Success
in this emerging Internet-powered electronic commerce marketplace requires
excellence in communication and collaboration, not just within the corporate
enterprise, but across the global network of customers, suppliers and other
strategic partners which together form the extended value network which we call
the "Interprise". Web enabled business processes and applications dramatically
change the way companies communicate with customers and suppliers, creating
opportunities and threats that cannot be ignored. In this emerging Interprise
computing environment coupled with today's climate of intense global
competition and accelerating technological change, companies are increasingly
turning to technology-enabled solutions to improve their productivity and
competitive positioning. In this environment, IT is viewed not as an isolated
back office or utility function but rather as a critical component of the
organizational strategy and execution.

     The proliferation of technology throughout all aspects of the enterprise
has created a wide range of business opportunities. Data that was once
collected nightly or weekly and used to analyze events retrospectively can now
be deployed to manage an entire enterprise in real time. Custom-developed
software that once produced reports that allowed managers to analyze what had
happened yesterday is being replaced by enterprise-wide packaged software and
web applications capable of linking manufacturing, sales, distribution and
finance functions and helping decision-makers shape what will happen tomorrow.
This software is being deployed in geographically dispersed, complicated
technology environments. The multitude of different protocols, operating
systems, devices and architectures makes deployment of technology solutions a
difficult challenge. Companies must also continually keep pace with new
developments, which often render existing equipment and internal skills
obsolete. At the same time, external economic factors have forced organizations
to focus on core competencies and trim workforces. Accordingly, these
organizations often lack the quantity or variety of IT skills necessary to
design and implement comprehensive IT solutions.

     The shortage of skilled IT professionals and the complexity of IT
solutions have pushed senior executives to increasingly rely on outside
specialists to help them execute IT strategies and, as a result, demand for
consulting services is expected to continue to grow rapidly. According to
industry sources, the worldwide market for IT professional services will grow
from an estimated $218 billion in 1997 to approximately $472 billion by the
year 2002, a compounded annual growth rate of 17%. In addition, the domestic IT
professional services market will grow at an estimated 17% rate over that same
period. Domestic Internet related spending is expected to grow 33% per year
from an anticipated $85 billion in 1999 to over $203 billion by 2002.

     Although the market for IT services is robust, the Company believes that
many buyers are investing heavily in IT solutions that are not yielding the
desired benefits or that are not being implemented on time. Generally,
companies who turn to IT consultants to help implement these investments choose
between "tactical" solution providers and larger organizations such as the
international accounting firms that offer more comprehensive services. The
Company believes that tactical solution providers which focus on limited
functionality requirements (such as application development and staff
augmentation) often do not address broader strategic business and IT goals that
are critical to the customer and the success of the IT solutions implemented.
At the same time, the Company believes that larger IT consulting firms, with
their complex or fragmented organizational models, historically high turnover
rates and use of linear "methodology-based" processes (which propose solutions
only after extensive studies of a particular client's business problems), often
fail to

                                       3
<PAGE>

deliver the right IT solutions on time and on budget. In the Company's view,
companies today require strategic service providers that have a comprehensive
understanding of the relevant business issues, the ability to design and
implement integrated solutions that can help them meet their strategic business
goals as they evolve and the skills and tools necessary to deliver solutions in
a timely and cost-effective manner.

THE ANSWERTHINK SOLUTION

     The Company's leadership team has extensive experience in providing
integrated consulting and IT implementation services. The Company has leveraged
this experience to build an organizational model, market strategy and
knowledge-based service delivery process enabling it to deliver results-oriented
technology enabled solutions.

     Key elements of the Company's strategic IT services delivery approach are:

   /bullet/ ELECTRONIC COMMERCE/INTERPRISE FOCUS. The Internet and browser
     based technology has significantly changed an organization's ability to
     efficiently communicate with strategic partners and how it serves its
     customers. The Company believes that success in this emerging environment
     requires excellence in communication and collaboration, not just within
     the corporate enterprise, but across the network of customers, suppliers,
     strategic partners and others which together form the extended value
     network--what the Company refers to as the "Interprise" business model.
     The Company provides business solutions to help its clients succeed in
     this emerging environment, which demands the assimilation and integration
     of data and underlying IT frameworks from both internal and external
     sources.

   /bullet/ MULTIDISCIPLINARY SOLUTION TEAMS. IT service providers must
     understand underlying business issues so they can better design, implement
     and integrate effective IT solutions. The Company's ability to provide
     integrated consulting and technology enabled solutions is a strong
     competitive advantage. The Company provides solutions in the areas of
     process transformation, "best practices" benchmarking, software package
     implementation and Internet and decision support integration. The Company
     delivers these solutions through multidisciplinary teams of professionals
     with experience in these areas that deliver solutions for each of the
     specific business functions in an organization. These teams target
     executive management, finance, administration and human resources
     ("CEO|solutionsSM" and "CFO|solutionsSM"), information technology
     ("CIO|solutionsSM"), sales and customer support ("Customer|solutionsSM"),
     and supply chain management ("Interprise Supply Chain|solutionsSM"). By
     assembling multidisciplinary teams of professionals for an engagement, the
     Company believes it can provide superior technology-enabled solutions to
     its clients.

   /bullet/ KNOWLEDGE-BASED DELIVERY. The Company does more than just study
     problems. It identifies and answers the critical questions at the outset
     of an engagement by leveraging its proprietary "best practices" knowledge
     base. The Company has developed and continuously refines a proprietary
     database of "best-practice" organizational solutions and benchmarks from
     more than 1,300 companies, including approximately 60% of the Fortune 100.
     This database enables the Company to identify for its clients areas of
     strength and weakness in their organizations relative to their peers.
     Relevant aspects of this accumulated knowledge can be incorporated quickly
     into the Company's analysis for new engagements, allowing the Company to
     provide proven and effective solutions rapidly. In addition, the Company's
     internal information systems and corporate culture enable it to capture
     knowledge from previous consulting engagements and share it throughout the
     organization to allow the Company to identify and solve the problems of
     other clients in future engagements. The Company has developed
     MindShareSM, a proprietary intranet knowledge management system that
     captures, indexes and disseminates the combined knowledge and experiences
     of its consultants.

COMPANY'S SERVICES

     The Company provides three broad service offerings to clients (i)
"best-practice" benchmarking and business process transformation, (ii)
"best-of-breed" packaged software implementation and (iii) advanced
technologies integration. The Company delivers those services to its clients
through the Company's CEO|solutionsSM, CFO|solutionsSM, CIO|solutionsSM,
Customer|solutionsSM and Interprise Supply Chain|solutionsSM multidisciplinary
teams. The Company's current consulting capabilities are summarized below.

     BENCHMARKING AND BUSINESS PROCESS TRANSFORMATION. In the area of
benchmarking and business process transformation, the Company works with
clients to compare their performance to other companies, identify key business
issues and develop and implement new processes to transform their
organizations.

   /bullet/ HACKETT BENCHMARKING|SOLUTIONSSM. The Company works with large
     national and multinational corporations in evaluating their staff
     functions (such as finance, human resources, customer management, IT and
     supply chain management), and has compiled databases on a large number of
     companies in a wide variety of industries. Using these databases, the
     Company collects information from its clients, identifies benchmarks by
     which its clients can evaluate their performance on specific criteria
     relative to other companies and identifies the most effective strategies
     for specific functions in a given industry. Each benchmark is composed of
     the following three elements: (i) a quantitative analysis of costs,
     productivity, service, quality and effectiveness; (ii) an understanding of
     world-class best-practices; and (iii) opportunities to learn from
     best-practices companies. Stringent process definitions and controls
     enable comparisons to be made between companies with different attributes
     and across industries. Clients can receive a detailed, confidential
     evaluation of their performance measured against other benchmarks on the
     basis of business focus (e.g., manufacturing, service or distribution),
     size, organizational structure and geography. Since benchmark studies
     often lead to clients implementing process improvement measures and
     revised IT strategies, the Company believes that it is well positioned to
     cross-sell its services.

   /bullet/ TRANSFORMATION|SOLUTIONSSM. The Company works with its clients to
     conceive, design and manage processes, organizations and systems necessary
     to implement technology-enabled business solutions. There are four key
     components to the Company's transformation solutions:

     PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT. The Company helps clients gain a systematic and
     objective understanding of the relative strengths and weaknesses of key
     aspects of their businesses, identify market trends and best-practices,
     and highlight those areas that offer the greatest opportunity for
     improvement. The Company works with clients to define and apply
     appropriate measures, and compare their performance to appropriate
     benchmarks.

     BUSINESS REDESIGN. The Company aids clients in defining an end-state
     vision of what their businesses require to achieve their primary
     performance objectives. Once that vision is established, the Company helps
     clients identify and select the best strategies for achieving their
     objectives. The Company's process redesigns generally affect all of a
     company's key processes, organizations, management practices, people and
     technology, taking full advantage of enabling technologies and reflecting
     both recognized best-practices and emerging trends.

     MIGRATION PLANNING. The Company's work in the area of migration planning
     is focused on (i) deploying systems and infrastructure hardware and
     software as planned, (ii) initiating systems management and other delivery
     processes and (iii) initiating performance measurement and other
     management processes. The Company's migration planning services help
     clients to structure the process into a series of change initiatives and
     develop alternative scenarios for the staging and sequencing of those
     initiatives. The comparison and refinement of these scenarios on the basis
     of costs, benefits and risks leads to agreement on a master plan which
     details projects, schedules, responsibilities, funding and expected
     business results.

                                       5

     PROGRAM MANAGEMENT. The Company establishes a single point of
     coordination for all initiatives contributing to the transformation
     process, including process redesign, organizational change, system
     implementation and infrastructure enhancement. The Company applies proven
     project management disciplines, tools, techniques and systems to the
     management of complex transformation programs.

     PACKAGED SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION. In the area of packaged software
implementation, the Company works with its clients to identify and integrate

     toolset. The Company's PeopleSoft-based solutions support the full life
     cycle implementation of PeopleSoft and involve project-planning,

   /bullet/ OTHER APPLICATIONS. The Company also provides comprehensive

THE ACQUISITIONS

     Since its inception, the Company has expanded through acquisitions. In the
future, a key element of the Company's growth strategy will be to pursue
additional acquisitions in order to obtain well-trained, high quality

Company's sales organization is supported by its prospect database, which
includes companies and decision makers in targeted geographic markets. The
extensive relationship base and reputation of the Company's senior management

placements, speeches, analyst meetings and conferences, the creation of
collateral marketing materials and the Company's Internet site
(http://www.answerthink.com). This strategy is designed to strengthen the

modified to take advantage of market-by-market or service-by-service
opportunities as new services or markets are pursued.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS

     The Company has implemented various aspects of its national service
delivery infrastructure. The primary elements include a fully integrated
financial and project management system and a proprietary network that is the
foundation for the Company's knowledge management system, MindShareSM. The
Company believes that MindShareSM significantly enhances the way clients are
served by allowing the Company's knowledge-base to be shared by all of its
consultants.

                                       8

     The financial and project management systems the Company has developed
provide the Company with a fully integrated time and expense reporting system
that serves as the backbone for the Company's engagement management and related
client billings, and drives the primary transaction information to the
Company's financial reporting systems. The Company has also invested in the
development of a comprehensive service delivery model which tracks how clients
are handled from initial contact, to risk management assessments, to the
delivery of the solution and the corresponding knowledge capture.

HUMAN RESOURCES

     A cornerstone of the Company's strategy is to promote the loyalty and
continuity of its consultants by offering packages of base and incentive
compensation that it believes are more attractive than those generally offered
in the consulting industry. An important element of the Company's compensation
program is the Company-wide participation in the Stock Option Plan.

     The Company's success depends in large part upon its ability to attract,
develop, motivate and retain highly skilled professionals. Qualified
professionals are in great demand and are likely to remain a limited resource
for the foreseeable future. In connection with its hiring efforts, the Company
has appointed a senior executive to lead the Company's national recruiting
team, which is further supported by executive search firms and the Company's
internal associate referral program.

     The Company dedicates significant resources to recruiting consultants
with both technology consulting and business experience. Many consultants are
selected from among the largest and most successful IT services, consulting,
accounting and other professional services organizations. As of January 1, 1999,
the Company had 755 employees. The Company is also committed to training and
developing its professionals. The Company's present training strategy is
solution or competency specific and in many cases is done in conjunction with
the Company's "best-of-breed" technologies alliance strategy.

     None of the Company's employees is subject to a collective bargaining
arrangement. The Company has entered into nondisclosure and nonsolicitation
agreements with virtually all of its personnel. The Company engages consultants
as independent contractors from time to time.

STRATEGIC ALLIANCES

     The Company also seeks strategic relationships with business partners to
share technical and industry knowledge and pursue joint marketing
opportunities. The Company has established business partner relationships with
Oracle, PeopleSoft, IBM and Netscape, among others. These relationships
typically allow the Company to gain access to training, product support and the
technology developed by these partners. The training programs often enable
Company employees to become certified in the technologies demanded by the
Company's clients. Establishing these relationships allows the Company to use
the business partner's name and the "business partner" designation in marketing
the Company's services. These relationships also facilitate the Company's
pursuit of marketing opportunities with the business partners.

     These alliances do not require the Company to use technology developed by
the business partners in implementing IT solutions for clients. Nonetheless,
the Company may be retained by a client based in part upon one or more of the
Company's business partner relationships.

COMPETITION

     The market for consulting and IT services includes a large number of
competitors and is subject to rapid change. Primary competitors include
participants from a variety of market segments, including international
accounting firms, international and regional systems consulting and
implementation firms, application software firms, service groups of computer
equipment companies, systems integration

                                       9
<PAGE>

companies, general management consulting firms and programming companies. Many
competitors have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing
resources and name recognition than the Company. In addition, the Company
competes with its clients' internal resources, particularly where these
resources represent a fixed cost to the client. Such competition may impose
additional pricing pressures on the Company. The Company believes that the most
significant competitive factors it faces are perceived value, breadth of
services offered and price. The Company believes that its multidisciplinary,
knowledge-based approach, broad and expanding framework of services and
distinctive corporate culture allow it to compete favorably by delivering
strategic IT solutions that meet clients' needs in an efficient manner. Other
important competitive factors that the Company believes are relevant to its
business include technical expertise, knowledge and experience in the industry,
quality of service and responsiveness to client needs and speed in delivering
IT solutions.

PATENTS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

     The Company relies upon a combination of nondisclosure and other
contractual arrangements and trade secret, copyright and trademark laws to
protect its proprietary rights and the proprietary rights of third parties from
whom the Company licenses intellectual property. The Company enters into
confidentiality agreements with its employees and limits distribution of
proprietary information. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by the
Company in this regard will be adequate to deter misappropriation of
proprietary information or that the Company will be able to detect unauthorized
use and take appropriate steps to enforce its intellectual property rights. The
Company has registered the trademarks "ANSWERTHINK" and "ANSWERTHINK CONSULTING
GROUP" with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

     The Company's principal executive offices currently are located at 1001
Brickell Bay Drive, Suite 3000, Miami, Florida 33131. The Company's lease on
these premises covers 10,800 square feet and expires March 31, 2003. The
Company also leases facilities in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago,
Cleveland, Dallas, Iselin (NJ), Miami, New York, Philadelphia and Silicon
Valley (CA). The Company anticipates that additional space will be required as
its business expands and believes that it will be able to obtain suitable space
as needed.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     Certain of the Company's key executives and other management employees
resigned from an international accounting firm during the first quarter of
1997. The accounting firm initiated litigation in connection with such
resignations and the formation of the Company arising out of activities alleged
to have constituted a breach of non-competition and non-solicitation
obligations. This litigation was settled, and the Company, its key executives,
certain other management employees and certain of its shareholders are subject
to certain provisions contained in the Settlement Agreement among such persons
and the accounting firm. The Settlement Agreement prohibits the Company from
soliciting or hiring the accounting firm's employees and soliciting or
servicing certain of its clients, and prohibits the accounting firm from
soliciting the Company's employees, for a two-year period that expired December
31, 1998. In November of 1998, the Company received from the accounting firm a
letter claiming in general terms that the Company had violated the terms of the
Settlement Agreement. The Company responded with a written denial of the
allegations contained in the letter, and requested that the accounting firm
corroborate the recent claims with factual support. The Company did not receive
a response to its letter. The restrictions contained in the Settlement
Agreement expired on December 31, 1998.

     The Company is involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation
arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the
final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on
the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of 1998.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

     Certain statements in this Form 10-K are "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by
the forward looking statements. Factors that impact such forward looking
statements include, among others, the ability of the Company to attract
additional business, changes in expectations regarding the information
technology industry, the ability of the Company to attract skilled employees,
possible changes in collections of accounts receivable, risks of competition,
price and margin trends, changes in general economic conditions and interest
rates and the Year 2000 issue. A discussion of the Company's risk factors is
set forth in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration
Form 333-48123).

OVERVIEW

     AnswerThink provides integrated consulting and technology enabled
solutions focused on the emerging Internet-driven electronic commerce
marketplace. AnswerThink offers a wide range of integrated solutions, including
benchmarking, business process transformation, software package implementation,
Internet commerce, decision support technology and Year 2000 solutions. These
solutions span across multi-entity functional areas and include supply chain,
sales and marketing, customer support, finance, human resources and information
technology. The Company markets its services to senior executives in
organizations where business transformation and technology-enabled change can
have a significant competitive impact.

     The Company began operations on April 23, 1997. The Company's primary
activities during its initial stages consisted of recruiting consultants and
developing and building a service delivery model and the underlying information
systems to support the future growth of the business. Concurrent with this
effort, the Company embarked on an aggressive acquisition strategy that
resulted in three acquisitions during 1997 and two acquisitions during 1998.
The Company expects to continue this strategy in 1999.

     The Company recognizes revenues on contracts as work is performed,
principally on a time and materials basis. For projects billed on a time and
materials basis, the Company recognizes revenue based on the number of hours
worked by consultants at an agreed-upon rate per hour. The Company believes the
financial risk under these types of arrangements is mitigated by the fact that
clients retain the financial risk associated with implementing projects. The
Company also undertakes certain projects, usually short-term, on a fixed-fee or
capped-fee basis for which revenues are recognized on a percentage of
completion method based on project hours worked.

     The Company's revenue growth is directly tied to its ability to attract
and retain new consultants to service its increasing client base. The most
significant expense for the Company is the project personnel and related costs
associated with its consultants. The market for skilled consultants is highly
competitive and is characterized by very high demand with a relatively small
pool of qualified personnel. The ability of the Company to manage consultant
utilization, contain payroll costs and control employee turnover costs in light
of these market forces will have a significant impact on its profitability. To
help address these concerns, the Company grants restricted shares of common
stock or stock options to all employees, including those of acquired companies,
which generally vest over four to six years.

ACQUISITIONS

     Since its inception, the Company has expanded through acquisitions. In the
future, a key element of the Company's growth strategy will be to pursue
additional acquisitions in order to obtain well-trained, high quality
professionals, new service offerings, additional industry experience, a broader
client base or an expanded geographic presence. All acquisitions completed by
the Company during 1997 and 1998 have been accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. Accordingly, the historical Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Company include the operating results of the acquired
businesses from the date of each respective acquisition.

  1997 ACQUISITIONS

     On August 1, 1997, the Company acquired Relational Technologies, Inc.
("RTI"), a Georgia-based information technology consulting and Oracle software
implementation company. RTI focuses on the implementation of Oracle
manufacturing, financial and human resources applications. Through the
acquisition of RTI, the Company became an Oracle Business Alliance Member,
which enables the Company to market Oracle applications products to its
customers. RTI was acquired for 1,220,700 restricted shares of common stock
issued to RTI's shareholders.

     On October 13, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of The Hackett
Group, an Ohio-based consulting firm specializing in benchmarking and process
transformation. The Hackett Group, through its proprietary "best-practice"
database focuses on the efficiency of such organizational functions as finance,
human resources, IT services and supply chain management. The Company acquired
all of The Hackett Group's outstanding shares from its sole stockholder,
Gregory P. Hackett. The original purchase price was paid in the form of $6.5
million in cash, a $5.1 million promissory note, and 444,000 restricted shares
of common stock. The note and the restricted shares were subject to certain
earn-out provisions. On March 12, 1998, Mr. Hackett and the Company amended the
terms of the acquisition to waive the earn-out provisions.

     On November 12, 1997, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of
Delphi Partners, Inc., ("Delphi"), a New Jersey-based PeopleSoft application
solutions and information technology consulting company. Delphi focuses on the
implementation of PeopleSoft financial, human resources and manufacturing
applications. Through the acquisition of Delphi, the Company became a
PeopleSoft Implementation Partner. The total acquisition consideration paid
consisted of $7.4 million in cash and 560,000 restricted shares of common stock
issued to Delphi shareholders. The sellers of Delphi will also receive up to
$2.5 million to be paid by April 30, 1999 upon the achievement of certain
pre-tax profit targets related to the performance of Delphi during 1998.

  1998 ACQUISITIONS

     On May 20, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Legacy Technology, Inc. ("Legacy"), a Massachusetts-based provider of decision
support and data warehouse solutions to Fortune 1000 companies. The total
consideration consisted of $2.6 million in promissory notes and 248,461 shares
of common stock. The stockholders of Legacy will also receive up to $1.3
million in additional consideration, half of which will be in the form of cash
and half of which will be in shares of common stock, upon the achievement of
certain revenue and pre-tax profit targets related to the performance of Legacy
during the 12-month period ending April 30, 1999.

     On September 30, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares
of Infinity Consulting Group, Inc. ("Infinity") for 186,000 shares of the
Company's common stock and $2.8 million in cash. The sellers are also entitled
to contingent consideration of approximately $1.6 million, payable in cash and
the Company's common stock, if certain performance targets are met over the
12-month period ending August 31, 1999. Infinity is an Indiana-based
corporation engaged in the business of delivering PeopleSoft application
solutions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company's operations during the period from April 23, 1997 through
January 2, 1998 (the "Inception Period") resulted in net revenues of $14.8
million and a net loss of $12.1 million. The loss during the Inception Period
was attributable to the developmental nature of the business during the
start-up phase and to a $4.0 million charge for in-process research and
development technology recognized in connection with AnswerThink's acquisition
of The Hackett Group. For the year ended January 1, 1999, net revenues and net
loss totaled $102.7 million and $28.9 million, respectively. Excluding a
one-time charge of $40.8 million, net income for the year ended January 1, 1999
would have been $11.9 million. The Company recognized non-cash compensation
expense of $40.8 million during the year ended January 1, 1999 resulting from
the accelerated vesting of 3,320,000 restricted shares of common stock that had
been issued to certain members of the Company's management in connection with
the formation of the Company. These charges were non-cash in nature and do not
negatively impact shareholders' equity. The Company believes that such
issuances were critical to its ability to attract and retain qualified
personnel during the Company's crucial start-up phase.

     The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the Company's
results of operations and the percentage relationship to net revenues of such
results:

</TABLE>

     NET REVENUES. Net revenues in 1998 increased to $102.7 million from $14.8
million during the Inception Period. This increase was attributable to several
factors including (i) the Company's acquisitions during 1997 and 1998 (ii) an
increase in the number of clients served, (iii) the sale of additional projects
to existing clients, and (iv) additional service offerings provided by the
Company during 1998. In addition to the factors listed above, the Inception
Period represented only 8 months of activities during the Company's start-up
phase as opposed to a full year of operations being reported in 1998. On a pro
forma basis (assuming the Company's 1997 and 1998 acquisitions had occurred on
April 23, 1997, the date of the Company's formation) 1998 and 1997 revenues
would have been $111.4 million and $38.4 million, respectively. The pro forma
results are unaudited and presented for informational purposes only. They are
not necessarily indicative of the future results of operations of the Company
or the results of operations of the Company had the acquisitions occurred on
April 23, 1997.

     PROJECT PERSONNEL AND EXPENSES. Project personnel costs and expenses
consist of salaries and payroll-related expenses for consultants. These costs
increased to $61.4 million in 1998 from $13.3 million during the Inception
Period. This increase resulted from the Company's 1997 and 1998

                                       15
<PAGE>

acquisitions, the fact that 1998 included a full year of operations opposed to
only 8 months during the Inception period, as well as the hiring of additional
consultants to support the Company's internal growth and expanded service
offerings. The number of consultants increased by 382 during the year to 657 as
of January 1, 1999 from 275 at January 2, 1998. Project personnel and expenses
decreased as a percentage of net revenues to 59.8% during 1998 from 89.8% during
1997. This decrease was due to a decline in the average cost per consultant and
a higher level of utilization during 1998 as a result of the Company's improved
sales results and project backlog that was assumed in connection with the 1997
and 1998 acquisitions.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were $28.9 million in 1998 compared to $8.1 million during the
Inception Period. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of net revenues decreased to 28.1% in 1998 from 54.5% during the Inception
Period. This decrease was attributable to the higher revenue levels during
1998, as well as the Company's ability to leverage its infrastructure to
acquired companies. The overall increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses related to an increase in salaries and benefits for functional support
personnel, increased selling costs related to higher sales volume and
additional amortization expense associated with the Company's acquisitions. In
addition, training and recruiting costs were higher as a result of the increase
in the number of consultants and property and facilities costs increased as the
Company moved from smaller, temporary offices established during the Company's
start-up phase into larger, permanent offices during late 1997 and during the
first half of 1998.

     COMPENSATION RELATED TO VESTING OF RESTRICTED SHARES. The Company recorded
a charge in the first quarter of 1998 of approximately $40.8 million relating
to the vesting of restricted shares held by seven of the Company's senior
managers and one director that were subject to certain performance vesting
criteria. There are no additional restricted shares outstanding that are
subject to performance criteria for vesting.

     SETTLEMENT COSTS. Settlement costs totaled $1.9 million, or 12.8% of net
revenues, for the Inception Period. Settlement costs consisted primarily of (i)
payments to certain key executives and certain other management employees of
the Company relating to the obligations assumed by the Company for compensation
earned during the period from December 1, 1996 to the date of the Company's
inception (the "Dispute Period") by such employees, and (ii) legal fees
incurred in connection with the ensuing litigation.

     IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGY. The in-process research
and development technology charge of $4.0 million resulted from the acquisition
of The Hackett Group. At the date of acquisition, there were four benchmark
applications that had not met technological feasibility requirements and did
not have any alternative future use and therefore the value of such
applications was charged to operations.

     INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE), NET. Net interest expense totaled $147,000 for
1998 compared to $383,000 of net interest income for the 1997 period. Net
interest expense in 1998 was related primarily to the Company's borrowings
under the revolving credit facilities which were repaid upon the completion of
the initial public offering in June 1998, partially offset by $600,000 of
interest income earned during the year primarily from the investment of
proceeds from the Company's initial public offering. Net interest income for
the 1997 period was due to interest income earned from the initial
capitalization of the Company which was placed in short-term investments,
partially offset by $116,000 of interest expense during the last three months
of the year attributable to borrowings under the facility used to fund the
Company's acquisitions of The Hackett Group and Delphi Partners, Inc.

     INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded income tax expense in 1998 of $325,000.
Although the Company reported a net loss for financial reporting purposes in
1998, for tax purposes the Company reported taxable income primarily as a
result of the non-deductibility of the $40.8 million compensation expense
relating to the vesting of restricted shares. The impact of the compensation

                                       16
<PAGE>

expense on the Company's effective tax rate was partially offset by the
Company's reduction of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance from $5.0
million to $200,000. During the Inception Period, the Company established a
valuation allowance for the entire deferred tax asset related to the net
operating loss carryforward and purchased research and development expense as a
result of its limited operating history as of that time.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     On May 28, 1998, the Company completed an initial public offering of its
common stock, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $38.5 million.
At January 1, 1999, the Company had $28.5 million of cash and cash equivalents
compared to $3.2 million at January 2, 1998. Prior to its initial public
offering in May 1998, the Company's primary source of liquidity had been its
initial capitalization, operating cash flows and borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facility. The Company has a revolving credit facility with
BankBoston which allows for up to $20.0 million of borrowings. The credit
facility is unsecured and contains certain restrictive covenants. There were no
borrowings under this credit facility as of January 1, 1999.

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.6 million for the year
ended January 1, 1999 compared to $11.2 million used during the Inception
Period. During the year ended January 1, 1999, the increase in cash provided by
operations related primarily to the Company's earnings, excluding the effects
of non-cash charges, and an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities,
partially offset by a $16.1 million increase in accounts receivable and
unbilled revenue. During the Inception Period, net cash used in operating
activities was primarily attributable to the operating loss of $12.1 million.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $3.9 million for the year ended
January 1, 1999 compared to $14.8 million used during the Inception Period. The
use of cash in 1998 was attributable to $2 million of purchases of property and
equipment, $1.3 million used in the acquisition of Infinity and a net increase
in short-term investments of $1 million. During the Inception Period, the use
of cash was attributable to $12.7 million for the acquisition of The Hackett
Group, Inc. and Delphi, and $2.1 million to purchase computer hardware and
software and telecommunications equipment.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $25.6 million in the year
ended January 1, 1999 compared to $29.2 million during the Inception Period.
During the year ended January 1, 1999, $38.5 million of cash was provided from
the issuance of common stock primarily from the Company's initial public
offering and $1.1 million was provided from the issuance of convertible
preferred stock. The Company used the proceeds from its initial public offering
to repay $6.4 million in notes payable to shareholders and to repay all
outstanding amounts under the revolving credit facility. During the Inception
Period, the primary source of cash was $21.0 million raised through the
issuance of convertible preferred stock and $8.2 million of borrowings under
the Company's credit facility.

     Based on the Company's current financial position and funds available
under its credit facility or that may be generated from operations, the Company
believes that it will be able to meet all of its currently anticipated
short-term and long-term capital requirements.

YEAR 2000 READINESS

     Many existing computer programs were designed and developed without
considering the impact of the upcoming change in the century and consequently
use only two digits to identify a year in the date field. If not corrected,
many computer applications could fail or create erroneous results by or at the
Year 2000 (the "Year 2000 Issue").

     All of the Company's internal systems were implemented during 1997 and
1998. The Company has prepared an inventory of information technology and
non-information technology system components and has begun to classify system
components in terms of their criticality to the Company's operations. Its
mission critical components, which include Oracle Financials, Personal, Time
and

                                       17
<PAGE>

Expense and Project Billing software modules, are considered by the vendors to
be Year 2000 compliant. In December of 1998, as part of its overall Year 2000
readiness assessment effort, the Company kicked off its efforts to confirm this
fact. The Company is in the process of confirming the Year 2000 compliance of
its mission critical system vendors, and has targeted April 30, 1999 as the
completion date for this assessment. The Company anticipates that the Year 2000
compliance of mission critical components will be confirmed in all material
respects. If compliance is not successfully confirmed, the Company anticipates
that components that are not compliant will be able to be fixed using software
vendor release updates in connection with existing maintenance agreements that
include as a component a Year 2000 remedy. The Company estimates that the cost
to apply the Year 2000 release updates will not be material. The testing of
critical applications will begin during the second quarter of 1999. If, as a
result of this testing, further updates are required, the Company believes that
all required updates will be installed and tested prior to December 31, 1999.
However there can be no assurances that all required tests and updates will be
completed by that date.

     As part of its overall Year 2000 program the Company plans to assess the
readiness of its external business relationships on which it relies in the
conduct of its business. For example, a third party vendor performs the payroll
function for the Company. The Company also relies on the services of
telecommunications companies, Internet service providers, banks, utilities and
commercial airlines, among others. The Company is in the process of
inventorying and classifying these relationships according to their criticality
to the Company's operations. The Company plans to seek assurances from its
material vendors and suppliers that there will be no interruption of service as
a result of the Year 2000 issue, and to the extent not given, the Company
intends to devise contingency plans designed to mitigate the impact on the
Company's business in the event the Year 2000 issue results in the
unavailability of services. There can be no assurance that any contingency
plans developed by the Company will prevent any such service interruption on
the part of one or more of the Company's third party suppliers from having a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition. In addition, the failure on the part of the accounting
systems of the Company's clients due to the Year 2000 issue could result in a
delay in the payment of invoices issued by the Company for services and
expenses. A failure of the accounting systems of a significant number of the
Company's clients would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition.

     The Company believes the Year 2000 Issue as it relates to its internal
information technology and non-information technology system components will
not have material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations. However, the potential failure of the systems of its external
business relationships discussed above and the potential for failures at its
material clients which cause the postponement or cancellation of ongoing
projects could result in an interruption of normal business activities and
operations and result in the cancellation of future projects. Such failures
could materially and adversely affect the Company's results of operations. Due
to the general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 Issue, resulting in part
from the uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of external business
relationships, the Company is unable to determine at this time whether the
consequences of external Year 2000 failures will have a material impact on the
Company's results of operations.

     The services offered by the Company do not include actual Year 2000 code
remediation services. However, approximately 6% of the Company's revenues for
the year ended December 31, 1998 was related to assisting clients assess Year
2000 readiness and in designing and managing the process whereby necessary
remediation is accomplished. The Company's clients are ultimately responsible
for the actual remediation process. However, these clients could assert that
certain services performed by the Company contributed to their failure to
resolve their Year 2000 issues on a timely basis. In addition, the Company's
principal service offerings include software package recommendation and
implementation as well as system design. These software packages are created by
third parties. Further, the hardware and software components of the systems
designed by the Company are created by third parties. Clients could assert that
the services rendered in connection with the recommendation and installation of
software packages and system design involved or are related to

                                       18
<PAGE>

the Year 2000 issue. There can be no way of assuring that all such software
packages and systems components will be Year 2000 compliant. Further, clients
have the ability to alter and upgrade software and system components after
project completion. These client activities may render these software packages
or systems non-compliant. Due to the potential significance of the Year 2000
issue upon client operations, upon any failure of critical client systems or
processes that may be directly or indirectly connected or related to services
provided by the Company, the Company may be subjected to claims regardless of
whether the failure is related to the services provided by the Company. If
asserted, such claims (and the associated cost of defending such claims) could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations
and financial condition.

     The Company's policy has been to attempt to include provisions in its
client contracts that, among other things, disclaim implied warranties, limit
the Company's liability to the amount of fees paid by the client to the Company
in connection with the project, and disclaim liability arising from third party
software that is implemented or installed by the Company. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain these contractual protections
in agreements concerning future projects or that any contractual provisions
governing current completed projects will prevent clients from asserting claims
against the Company with respect to the Year 2000 issue. There can also be no
assurance that the contractual protections, if any, obtained by the Company
will effectively operate to protect the Company from, or limit the amount of,
any liability arising from claims asserted against the Company.

     The forgoing discussion of the Company's Year 2000 readiness contains
forward looking statements including estimated timeframes and costs for
addressing the known Year 2000 issues confronting the Company and is based on
management's current estimates, which were derived using numerous assumptions.
There can be no assurance that these estimates will be achieved and actual
events and results could differ materially from those anticipated. Specific
factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not limited
to, the ability of the Company to identify and correct all Year 2000 problems
and the success of external business relationships in addressing their Year
2000 issues.

Shareholders of AnswerThink Consulting Group, Inc.

     In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
AnswerThink Consulting Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of
January 1, 1999 and January 2, 1998, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the year ended January 1, 1999 and for the period from
April 23, 1997 (date of inception) through January 2, 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of

the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS

     AnswerThink Consulting Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "AnswerThink")
provides integrated consulting and technology enabled solutions focused on the
emerging Internet-driven electronic commerce marketplace. AnswerThink offers a
wide range of integrated solutions, including benchmarking, business process
transformation, software package implementation, Internet commerce, decision
support technology and Year 2000 solutions. These solutions span across
multi-entity functional areas and include supply chain, sales and marketing,
customer support, finance, human resources and information technology. The
Company markets its services to senior executives in organizations where
business transformation and technology-enabled change can have a significant
competitive impact.

ORGANIZATION

     On April 23, 1997, the Company and the initial investors in the Company
(the "Initial Investors") entered into a stock purchase agreement (the "Stock
Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which the Company sold 3,400,000 shares to the
Initial Investors of the Company's Class A Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Class A Preferred Stock"). Such shares of Class A Preferred Stock were sold at
$6.00 per share, for total proceeds of $20.4 million. In May 1997, certain
senior executives of the Company purchased an additional 100,000 shares of
Class A Preferred Stock at $6.00 per share. Each share of Class A Preferred
Stock was convertible into four shares of the Company's common stock. Pursuant
to the Stock Purchase Agreement, certain of the Initial Investors had the
option to purchase from the Company an additional 100,000 shares of Class A
Preferred Stock at $6.00 per share which shares were purchased on February 24,
1998.

     All preferred stock issued by the Company in connection with the formation
of the Company was converted, pursuant to the original terms, to shares of the
Company's common stock prior to its initial public offering.

     In May 1998, the Company completed its initial public offering whereby the
Company sold 3,324,500 shares of common stock. Net proceeds to the Company,
after expenses, aggregated $38.5 million.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of AnswerThink
Consulting Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

FISCAL YEAR

     The Company's fiscal year ends on the Friday closest to December 31. The
fiscal year for the Company will generally consist of a 52-week period. Fiscal
years 1998 and 1997 ended on January 1, 1999 and January 2, 1998, respectively.
References to a year in these financial statements relate to a fiscal year
rather than a calendar year.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company considers all short-term investments with maturities of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company places its
temporary cash investments with high

credit quality financial institutions. At times, such investments may be in
excess of the F.D.I.C. insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any
loss to date on these investments.

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

     Short-term investments, consisting of interest bearing, investment-grade
securities, have been classified as available-for-sale securities and are
recorded at fair market value. Any unrealized holding gains or losses on
available-for-sale securities are reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity until these gains or losses are realized. The difference
between fair market value and cost was not material at January 1, 1999.
Realized gains or losses from sales of available-for-sale securities were not
material for any period presented. For the purpose of determining realized
gains and losses, the cost of securities sold is based upon specific
identification.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

     Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful life of the assets ranging from two to five years.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
Expenditures for betterments and major improvements are capitalized. The
carrying amount of assets sold or retired and related accumulated depreciation
are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any resulting gains
or losses are included in the statement of operations.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Goodwill, related to business acquisitions, is being amortized over 15
years on a straight-line basis. The Company recorded amortization expense of
$1,324,411 and $137,729 for the year ended January 1, 1999 and for the period
April 23, 1997 (date of inception) through January 2, 1998, respectively. The
carrying value of goodwill is subject to periodic review of realizability.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     The Company recognizes revenues as work is performed on a contract by
contract basis, adjusted for any anticipated losses in the period in which any
such losses are identified. To date, the Company has not experienced any
material losses. Out-of-pocket expenses are reimbursed by clients and are
offset against expenses incurred.

INCOME TAXES

     The Company records income taxes using the liability method. Under this
method, the Company records deferred taxes based on temporary taxable and
deductible differences between the tax bases of the Company's assets and
liabilities and their financial reporting bases. A valuation allowance is
established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

     Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. With
regard to restricted common shares

                                       27

issued to employees under employment agreements, the calculation includes only
the vested portion of such shares. Accordingly, common shares outstanding for
the basic net loss per share computation is significantly lower than actual
shares issued and outstanding.

     Loss per common share assuming dilution is computed by dividing the net
loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, increased by
the assumed conversion of other potentially dilutive securities during the
period. Potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the fully diluted loss
per share calculation for each period presented because their effects would
have been anti-dilutive to the loss incurred by the Company, therefore, the
amounts reported for basic and diluted net loss per share were the same.
Potentially dilutive shares which were not included in the diluted loss per
share calculations as of January 1, 1999 and January 2, 1998 include 9,508,192
shares and 8,901,652 shares, respectively, of unvested restricted common stock
issued under employment agreements and 8,928,404 shares for the period ended
January 2, 1998 from the assumed conversion of the convertible preferred stock.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     The Company provides its services primarily to Fortune 1000 companies and
other sophisticated buyers of IT consulting services. The Company performs
ongoing credit evaluations of its major customers and maintains reserves for
potential credit losses. During the period from April 23, 1997 (date of
inception) through January 2, 1998, a total of two customers accounted for
approximately 13% of net revenues. No single customer accounted for 5% or more
of net revenues for the year ended January 1, 1999.

MANAGEMENT'S ESTIMATES

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

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     On January 1, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND
RELATED INFORMATION. The new rules establish revised standards for public
companies relating to the reporting of financial and descriptive information
about their operating segments in financial statements. Since AnswerThink only
has one business segment, which is providing consulting services to its
clients, the adoption of SFAS 131 did not have an effect on the Company's
financial statements.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

2. ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTING ACTIVITIES

     On August 1, 1997, the Company acquired Relational Technologies, Inc.,
("RTI") an Atlanta, Georgia-based information technology consulting and Oracle
software implementation company for 1,220,700 restricted shares of Common Stock
issued to RTI's stockholders valued at approximately $610,000.

     On October 13, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
The Hackett Group, Inc. ("Hackett"), an Ohio based consulting firm specializing
in benchmarking and process transformation primarily to Fortune 500 companies.
The original purchase price payable to the sole stockholder of Hackett
consisted of approximately $6.5 million in cash, a $5.1 million promissory note
and 444,000 restricted shares of common stock valued at approximately $355,000.
The note and the restricted shares are subject to certain earn-out provisions.
The note is payable in three separate installments. As of January 2, 1998, the
Company had recorded $3.8 million bearing interest at a rate of 12% per annum,
for additional purchase consideration under the promissory note due to the
seller on March 31, 1998 based on achievement of earnings targets for 1997. On
March 12, 1998, the Company entered into an amendment with the sole stockholder
of Hackett to waive the earn-out provisions and to extend the due date on the
$3.8 million note obligation owed to such stockholder from March 31, 1998 to
the earlier of the completion of a public offering of shares by the Company or
January 15, 1999. In connection with such amendment, the Company recorded
additional goodwill amounting to $3.1 million, notes payable to shareholders
totaling $1.4 million, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $338,000 and
shareholders' equity of $1.3 million. The $3.8 million note was paid-off in
June 1998 upon the completion of the Company's initial public offering. The
second installment obligation of $497,000 is due March 31, 1999, and the third
installment obligation of $896,000 is due March 31, 2000. The obligations for
the second and third installment payments bear interest at a rate of 8% per
annum.

     A significant portion of the purchase price for the Hackett acquisition
was allocated to in-process research and development technology, resulting in a
$4.0 million charge to the Company's operations in the quarter ended January 2,
1998. These charges were valued using a risk adjusted cash flow model, under
which projected income and expenses attributable to the purchased technology
were identified, and potential income streams were discounted for risks and
uncertainties, including the stage of development of the technology, viability
of target markets, rapidly changing nature of the industry and other factors.

     On November 12, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares
of Delphi Partners, Inc. ("Delphi") for approximately $7.4 million in cash plus
560,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock valued at $840,000. The
sellers are also entitled to contingent consideration of up to a maximum of
$2.5 million to be paid by April 30, 1999 based on the achievement of certain
pre-tax profit targets as defined. Delphi is an information systems consulting
services firm focused primarily on applications developed by PeopleSoft, Inc.

     On May 20, 1998, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Legacy
Technology, Inc. ("Legacy") for $2.6 million in promissory notes, which were
paid-off during June 1998, plus 248,461 shares of the Company's common stock
valued at $3.0 million. The sellers are also entitled to contingent
consideration of approximately $1.3 million, payable in cash and the Company's
common stock, if certain performance targets are met over the 12-month period
ending April 30, 1999. Legacy is a Massachusetts-based provider of decision
support and data warehouse solutions to Fortune 1000 companies.

2. ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTING ACTIVITIES--(CONTINUED)

     On September 30, 1998, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of
Infinity Consulting Group, Inc. ("Infinity") for 186,000 shares of the
Company's common stock valued at $3.4 million and $2.8 million in cash. The
sellers are also entitled to contingent consideration of approximately $1.6
million, payable in cash and the Company's common stock, if certain performance
targets are met over the 12-month period ending August 31, 1999. Infinity is an
Indiana-based corporation engaged in the business of delivering PeopleSoft
application solutions.

     The results of operations of the acquired companies are included in the
Company's consolidated results of operations from the respective dates of
acquisition. Contingent consideration, to the extent earned, is recorded as
additional goodwill.

     The aggregate consideration for the Company's acquisitions has been
allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their respective
fair values. The components of the purchase price allocation for the 1998 and
1997 acquisitions, including contingent consideration earned, fees and
expenses, are as follows:

8. INCOME TAXES--(CONTINUED)

     A deferred tax asset of $961,000 is included in other assets in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 1999.

     As of January 1, 1999, the Company had established a valuation allowance
in the amount of $202,000 to reduce deferred income tax assets related to state
income tax loss carryforwards. As of January 2, 1998, the Company had a
valuation reserve of $5.0 million which represented the entire amount of the
deferred tax asset attributable to the Company's net operating loss
carryforward. This allowance was established in light of the Company's limited
operating history as of that time.

9. RESTRICTED STOCK

     As of January 1, 1999 and January 2, 1998, the Company had issued and
outstanding restricted common stock totalling 13,249,235 shares and 13,734,850
shares, respectively, which were sold to employees of the Company at nominal
purchase prices per share. Each employee executed an employment agreement or a
restricted stock agreement with the Company providing for, among other things,
the manner in which restricted shares will vest. In general, a certain
percentage of restricted shares will begin to vest upon the second anniversary
from the purchase date of such shares and will become fully vested either by
the fourth or sixth anniversary from the purchase date so long as the holder
remains an employee.

     Certain of the Company's employees and one director purchased 3,520,000
restricted shares of common stock subject to performance vesting criteria. The
Company recorded a charge of approximately $40.8 million during the year ended
January 1, 1999 relating to the accelerated vesting of these restricted shares
pursuant to agreements dated as of March 27, 1998 by and among the relevant
stockholders, the Company and its Board of Directors. Pursuant to terms of the
agreements, vesting was accelerated for 3,320,000 shares in the first quarter
of 1998 based on the Company's results to date and the expectation of
completion of the Company's initial public offering during the second quarter
of 1998. The remaining 200,000 shares were cancelled as part of the agreements.
There are no additional restricted shares outstanding that are subject to
performance criteria for vesting.

     Restricted stock includes shares issued to employees of certain acquired
companies. Employees vest in these shares over periods up to five years. The
market value of the restricted stock at the time of grant was recorded as
unearned compensation in a separate component of shareholders' equity and
amortized as compensation expense ratably over the vesting periods. At January
1, 1999 and January 2, 1998, 920,350 shares and 931,650 shares, respectively,
of such restricted stock were issued and outstanding.

10. STOCK PLANS

     Effective July 1, 1998, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase
Plan to provide substantially all employees who have completed three months of
service as of the beginning of an offering period, as defined, an opportunity
to purchase shares of its common stock through payroll deductions, up to 10% of
eligible compensation. Participant account balances are used to purchase shares
of stock at the lesser of 85 percent of the fair market value of shares on the
first trading day of the offering period or on the last trading day of such
offering period. The aggregate fair market value, determined as of the first
trading date of the offering period, as to shares purchased by an employee may
not exceed $25,000 annually. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan expires on July
1, 2008. A total

10. STOCK PLANS--(CONTINUED)

of 750,000 shares are available for purchase under the plan. As of January 1,
1999, 80,493 shares of the Company's Common Stock were due to be issued under
the plan.

     On May 5, 1998, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the "Stock Option
Plan") under which certain employees may be granted the right to purchase
shares of common stock at not less than 100% of the fair market value on the
date of grant. The maximum option term is ten years. The Company has reserved
an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the plan.
Stock options may be exercised only to the extent they have vested in
accordance with provisions determined by the Board of Directors.

     The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING
FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, and related interpretations in accounting for
its option plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized.
Under SFAS No. 123, compensation cost for the Company's stock-based
compensation plans would be determined based on the fair value at the grant
dates for awards under those plans. Had the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 in
accounting for fixed stock option plans, the Company's consolidated net loss
and net loss per share for 1998 would have been reduced to the pro forma
amounts indicated as follows:

                                                    YEAR ENDED
                                                  JANUARY 1, 1999
                                                 ----------------
   Net loss
    As reported ..............................    $  28,925,688
    Pro forma ................................    $  30,523,140
   Basic and diluted net loss per common share
    As reported ..............................    $        1.52
    Pro forma ................................    $        1.60

     The following assumptions were used by the Company to determine the fair
value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model:
expected volatility of 65.0% in 1998 and 0% in 1997, average expected option
life of 4 years in 1998 and 10 years in 1997, risk-free interest rate of 6.0%
in 1998 and 1997, and no dividend payments in 1998 and 1997.

     In light of the loss experienced during the period from April 23, 1997
through January 2, 1998 and that it was the first year of operations, the
Company's options granted in 1997 had essentially no value. Had the fair value
method of accounting been applied to the Company's stock options, the Company's
net loss and loss per share, on a pro forma basis, would not have been
materially different from the net loss and loss per share reported.

11. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

     Holders of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock were entitled to a $6.00
liquidation preference per share in the event of liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company. Each share of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock
was convertible on a four-for-one basis to Common Stock and was entitled to
non-cumulative dividends if and when declared by the Board of Directors.
Holders of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock had certain redemption rights
defined in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation but did not have
preemptive rights. To the extent not redeemed or converted, remaining shares of
the Class A Convertible Preferred Stock would have been redeemed at their
liquidation value on April 22, 2004.

     On March 5, 1998, the Company issued 16,666 shares of Class B Convertible
Preferred Stock with a liquidation value of $30.00 per share to an affiliate of
BankBoston at a price of $30.00 per share.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

11. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK--(CONTINUED)

Each share of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into four
shares of Common Stock. The Class B Convertible Preferred Stock contained the
same redemption provisions as the Class A Convertible Preferred Stock.

     In May 1998, 1,790,026 shares (the entire outstanding amount) of the
Company's convertible preferred stock totaling $11.1 million were converted
into 7,160,104 shares of common stock, pursuant to the original terms.

12. SETTLEMENT COSTS

     Certain of the Company's key executives and other management employees
resigned from an international accounting firm during the first quarter of
1997. The accounting firm initiated litigation in connection with such
resignations and the formation of the Company arising out of activities alleged
to have constituted a breach of non-competition and non-solicitation
obligations. This litigation was settled, and the Company, its key executives,
certain other management employees and certain of its shareholders were subject
to certain provisions contained in the Settlement Agreement through its
expiration date of December 31, 1998.

     Settlement costs incurred during the period from April 23, 1997
(inception) to January 2, 1998 consist primarily of payments to certain key
executives and certain other management employees of the Company relating to
the obligations assumed by the Company for compensation earned during the
period from December 1, 1996 to the date of the Company's inception by such
employees and legal fees incurred in connection with the ensuing litigation.

13. LITIGATION

     The Company is involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation
arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the
final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on
the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

     The Company purchases most of its computer hardware and software from a
distributor that is owned in part by three senior executives and directors of
the Company. During the year ended January 1, 1999 and the period from April
23, 1997 to January 2, 1998, purchases from this distributor were approximately
$1.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On February 26, 1999, the Company merged with triSpan, Inc ("triSpan").
The merger was accomplished through an exchange of 689,880 shares of the
Company's common stock for all outstanding shares of capital stock of triSpan.
Each outstanding share of common stock of triSpan was converted into 0.311 of a
share of the Company's common stock. This transaction will be accounted for
under the pooling of interests method and, accordingly, historical financial
data in future reports will be restated to include triSpan. The following
unaudited pro forma data summarizes the combined results of operations of the
Company and triSpan as though the merger had occurred on January 1, 1997.
triSpan, Inc. is an Internet commerce solutions company based in Pennsylvania.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

         This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into as of the 23d
day of March, 1999 (the "Effective Date"), by and between AnswerThink Consulting
Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company"), and John F. Brennan (the
"Executive").

         WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive have entered into an Executive
Agreement dated as of July 31, 1997, as amended (the "Senior Management
Agreement");

         WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend the Senior
Management Agreement to delete the "Provisions Relating to Employment" therein
and the Company desires to employ the Executive, and the Executive desires to be
employed by the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth herein from and
after the Effective Date; and

         WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") has
approved and authorized the entry into this Agreement with the Executive.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

         1. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. On the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, the Company agrees to employ the Executive and the Executive agrees
to be employed by the Company for the Employment Period set forth in Section 2
hereof and in the position and with the duties set forth in Section 3 hereof.
Terms used herein with initial capitalization are defined in Section 21 below.

         2. TERM. The initial term of employment under this Agreement shall be
for a three-year period commencing on the Effective Date (the "Initial Term").
The term of employment shall be automatically renewed for an additional
consecutive 12-month period (the "Extended Term") as of the first and every
subsequent anniversary of the Effective Date, unless and until either party
provides written notice to the other party in accordance with Section 11 hereof
not less than 90 days before such anniversary date that such party is
terminating the term of employment under this Agreement, which termination shall
be effective as of the end of such Initial Term or Extended Term, as the case
may be, or until such term of employment is otherwise terminated as hereinafter
set forth. Such Initial Term and all such Extended Terms are collectively
referred to herein as the "Employment Period." The parties' obligations under
Sections 7, 9 and 10 hereof shall survive the expiration or termination of the
Employment Period.

         3. POSITION AND DUTIES. The Executive shall serve as Executive Vice
President and Chief Administrative Officer of the Company during the Employment
Period. As Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer of the
Company, the Executive shall render executive, policy and other management

report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, except as otherwise
determined by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board. The Executive shall also
perform such duties as the Chief Executive Officer or the Board may from time to
time reasonably determine and assign to the Executive. During the Employment
Period, there shall be no material change in the duties and responsibilities of
the Executive from those previously in effect, other than as provided herein,
unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. The Executive shall devote the
Executive's reasonable best efforts and substantially full business time to the
performance of the Executive's duties and the advancement of the business and
affairs of the Company.

         4. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE. In connection with the Executive's employment
by the Company, the Executive shall be based at the principal executive offices
of the Company, except as otherwise agreed by the Executive and the Company and
except for reasonable travel on Company business. If the Executive is required
to relocate his place of employment to a location more than 50 miles from its
location as of the date of this Agreement, the Company shall pay or reimburse
the Executive for the reasonable moving and relocation expenses incurred by him
to establish a personal residence at the new location, including reasonable
traveling and temporary living expenses.

         5. COMPENSATION.

                  (a) BASE SALARY. During the Employment Period, the Company

initially shall be at the rate of $250,000 per year. The Base Salary shall be
reviewed no less frequently than annually and may be increased at the discretion
of the Board. If the Executive's Base Salary is increased, the increased amount
shall be the Base Salary for the remainder of the Employment Period. Except as
otherwise agreed in writing by the Executive, the Base Salary shall not be
reduced from the amount previously in effect during the Employment Term. The
Base Salary shall be payable biweekly or in such other installments as shall be
consistent with the Company's payroll procedures.

                  (b) BONUS. During the Employment Period, the Executive may
also be eligible to earn an annual bonus pursuant to a bonus plan adopted by the
Board for each fiscal year.

                  (c) BENEFITS. During the Employment Period, the Executive will
be entitled to such other benefits approved by the Board and made available to
employees. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company from
changing carriers or from effecting modifications in insurance coverage for the
Executive.

                  (d) VACATION; HOLIDAYS. The Executive shall be entitled to all
public holidays observed by the Company and vacation days in accordance with the

                  (e) WITHHOLDING TAXES AND OTHER DEDUCTIONS. To the extent
required by law, the Company shall withhold from any payments due Executive
under this Agreement any

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

applicable federal, state or local taxes and such other deductions as are
prescribed by law or Company policy.

         6. EXPENSES. The Executive is expected and is authorized to incur
reasonable expenses in the performance of his duties hereunder, including the
costs of entertainment, travel, and similar business expenses incurred in the
performance of his duties. The Employers shall reimburse the Executive for all
such expenses promptly upon periodic presentation by the Executive of an
itemized account of such expenses.

         7. CONFIDENTIALITY; WORK PRODUCT.

                  (a) INFORMATION. The Executive acknowledges that the
information, observations and data obtained by the Executive concerning the
business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their predecessors
during the course of the Executive's performance of services for, or employment
with, any of the foregoing persons (whether or not compensated for such
services) are the property of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including
information concerning acquisition opportunities in or reasonably related to the
business or industry of the Company or its Subsidiaries of which the Executive
becomes aware during such period. Therefore, the Executive agrees that he will
not at any time (whether during or after the Employment Period) disclose to any
unauthorized person or, directly or indirectly, use for the Executive's own
account, any of such information, observations or data without the Board's
consent, unless and to the extent that the aforementioned matters become
generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a direct or
indirect result of the Executive's acts or omissions to act or the acts or
omissions to act of other senior or junior management employees of the Company
and its Subsidiaries. The Executive agrees to deliver to the Company at the
termination of the Executive's employment, or at any other time the Company may
request in writing (whether during or after the Employment Period), all
memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other documents, regardless of the
format or media (and copies thereof), relating to the business of the Company
and its Subsidiaries and their predecessors (including, without limitation, all
acquisition prospects, lists and contact information) which the Executive may
then possess or have under the Executive's control.

                  (b) INVENTIONS AND PATENTS. The Executive acknowledges that
all inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs,
analyses, drawings, reports and all similar or related information (whether or
not patentable) that relate to the actual or anticipated business, research and
development or existing or future products or services of the Company or its
Subsidiaries that are conceived, developed, made or reduced to practice by the
Executive while employed by the Company or any of its predecessors ("Work
Product") belong to the Company and the Executive hereby assigns, and agrees to
assign, all of the above to the Company. Any copyrightable work prepared in
whole or in part by the Executive in the course of the Executive's work for any
of the foregoing entities shall be deemed a "work made for hire" under the
copyright laws, and the Company shall own all rights therein. To the extent that
any such copyrightable work is not a "work made for hire," the Executive hereby
assigns and agrees to assign to Company all right, title and interest, including
without limitation, copyright in and to such copyrightable work. The Executive
shall promptly disclose such Work Product and copyrightable work to the Board
and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

(whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm the
Company's ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents,
powers of attorney and other instruments).

                  (c) ENFORCEMENT. The Executive acknowledges that the
restrictions contained in Section 7(a) hereof are reasonable and necessary, in
view of the nature of the Company's business, in order to protect the legitimate
interests of the Company, and that any violation thereof would result in
irreparable injury to the Company. Therefore, the Executive agrees that in the
event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of the provisions of
Section 7(a) hereof, the Company shall be entitled to obtain from any court of
competent jurisdiction, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief restraining
the Executive from disclosing or using any such confidential information.
Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any
other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including,
without limitation, recovery of damages from the Executive.

         8. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

                  (a) PERMITTED TERMINATIONS. The Executive's employment
hereunder may be terminated during the Employment Term without any breach of
this Agreement only under the following circumstances:

                           (i) DEATH. The Executive's employment hereunder shall

                                    (A) If the Executive shall have been unable

physical or mental disability or other similar incapacity, which inability shall
continue for more than three consecutive months; or

                                    (B) For Cause; or

by the Company or the Executive (other than because of the Executive's death)
shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto
in accordance with Section 11 hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice
of Termination" shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, if any, and shall set forth

         9. COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION.

                  (a) DEATH. If the Executive's employment is terminated during

and all other unpaid amounts, if any, to which the Executive is entitled as of
the Date of Termination in connection with any fringe benefits or under any
bonus or incentive compensation plan or program of the Company pursuant to
Sections 5(b) and (c) hereof, at the time such payments are due, and the Company
shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement.

                  (b) DISABILITY. If the Company terminates the Executive's

unpaid amounts, if any, to which the Executive is entitled as of the Date of

further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement; PROVIDED, that
payments so made to the Executive during any period that the Executive is unable
to perform all of the Executive's duties hereunder by reason of illness,
physical or mental illness or other similar incapacity shall be reduced by the
sum of the amounts, if any, payable to the Executive at or prior to the time of
any such payment under disability benefit plans of the Company and which amounts
were not previously applied to reduce any such payment.

                  (c) BY THE COMPANY WITH CAUSE OR BY THE EXECUTIVE WITHOUT GOOD
REASON. If the Company terminates the Executive's employment during the

8(a)(i) or (ii) hereof, or the Executive terminates his employment during the
Employment Term for Good Reason pursuant to Section 8(a)(iii) hereof, the
Company shall pay the Executive (A) the Executive's full Base Salary through the
Date of Termination and all other unpaid amounts, if any, to which the Executive
is entitled as of the Date of Termination in connection with any fringe benefits
or under any bonus or incentive compensation plan or program of the Company
pursuant to Sections 5(b) and (c) hereof, at the time such payments are due and
(B) subject to Sections 9(e) and 9(f) hereof:

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

                           (i) NO CHANGE OF CONTROL. Except as provided in
Section 9(d)(ii) hereof, during the six-month period commencing on the Date of
Termination (the "Initial Period"), the Company shall pay the Executive an
aggregate amount equal to Executive's Base Salary, payable in equal installments
on the Company's regular salary payment dates, and any other amounts that would
have been payable to or on behalf of the Executive under Section 5(c) hereof
(the "Severance Payments"). In addition, the Company shall have the option, by
delivering written notice to the Executive in accordance with Section 11 hereof
within 90 days after the Date of Termination, to extend the severance period to
the first anniversary of the Date of Termination (the "Extended Period"). During
the Extended Period, the Company will continue to make Severance Payments at the
same annual rate to the Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing and without in
any way modifying the provisions of Sections 7 and 10 hereof, from and after the
first date that Executive becomes employed with another Person or provides
services as a consultant or other self-employed individual, the Company, at its
option, may eliminate or otherwise reduce the amount of Severance Payments
otherwise required to be made pursuant to this Section 9(d)(i) to the extent of
the compensation and benefits received by the Executive from such other
employment or self-employment; or

                           (ii) CHANGE OF CONTROL. If such termination is in
anticipation of, in connection with or within one year after the date of a
Change of Control, the Company shall pay the Executive an aggregate amount equal
to Executive's Base Salary, payable in equal installments on the Company's
regular salary payment dates, and any other amounts that would have been payable
to or on behalf of the Executive under Section 5(c) hereof (the "Severance
Payments") from the Date of Termination through the first anniversary of the
Date of Termination at the time such payments would otherwise have been due in
accordance with the Company's normal payroll practices, and the Company shall
have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement. In addition,
in such event, the Executive's rights with respect to stock options and shares
of restricted stock previously granted by the Company, deferred and incentive
compensation or bonus amounts awarded by the Company and other contingent or
deferred compensation awards or grants made by the Company, or otherwise made in
connection with the Executive's employment hereunder, shall be fully vested and
nonforfeitable as of the Date of Termination, except to the extent inconsistent
with the terms of any such plan or arrangement that is intended to qualify under
Section 401(a) or 423 of the Code. For purposes of Section 10 hereof, the
"Initial Period" shall be the first 12 months following the Date of Termination.

                  (e) PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement or of any other agreement, contract or understanding
heretofore or hereafter entered into by the Executive with the Company or any
subsidiary or affiliate thereof, except an agreement, contract or understanding
hereafter entered into that expressly modifies or excludes application of this
Section 9(e) (the "Other Agreements"), and notwithstanding any formal or
informal plan or other arrangement heretofore or hereafter adopted by the
Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof) for the direct or indirect
compensation of the Executive (including groups or classes of participants or
beneficiaries of which the Executive is a member), whether or not such
compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for
the Executive (a "Benefit Plan"), if the Executive is a "disqualified
individual" (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code")), the Executive shall not have

                                      -6-

any right to receive any payment or benefit under this Agreement, any Other
Agreement or any Benefit Plan (i) to the extent that such payment or benefit,
taking into account all other rights, payments or benefits to or for the
Executive under this Agreement, all Other Agreements and all Benefit Plans,
would cause any payment or benefit to the Executive under this Agreement, any
Other Agreement or any Benefit Plan to be considered a "parachute payment"
within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code as then in effect (a
"Parachute Payment") AND (ii) if, as a result of receiving a Parachute Payment,
the aggregate after-tax amount received by the Executive under this Agreement,
all Other Agreements and all Benefit Plans would be less than the maximum
after-tax amount that could be received by the Executive without causing any
such payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment. In the event that
the receipt of any such payment or benefit under this Agreement, any Other
Agreement or any Benefit Plan would cause the Executive to be considered to have
received a Parachute Payment that would have the adverse after-tax effect
described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then the Executive shall
have the right, in the Executive's sole discretion, to designate those rights,
payments or benefits under this Agreement, any Other Agreement and any Benefit
Plan that should be reduced or eliminated so as to avoid having the payment or
benefit to the Executive under this Agreement be deemed to be a Parachute
Payment.

                  (f) MITIGATION. The Company's obligation to continue to
provide the Executive with benefits pursuant to Section 9(d)(i) or (ii) above
shall cease if the Executive becomes eligible to participate in benefits
substantially similar to those provided under this Agreement as a result of the
Executive's subsequent employment during the period that the Executive is
entitled to receive Severance Payments.

                  (g) LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. The parties acknowledge and agree that
damages which will result to the Executive for termination by the Company
without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason shall be extremely difficult
or impossible to establish or prove, and agree that the Severance Payments shall
constitute liquidated damages for any breach of this Agreement by the Company
through the Date of Termination. The Executive agrees that, except for such
other payments and benefits to which the Executive may be entitled as expressly
provided by the terms of this Agreement or any applicable Benefit Plan, such
liquidated damages shall be in lieu of all other claims that the Executive may
make by reason of termination of his employment or any such breach of this
Agreement and that, as a condition to receiving the Severance Payments, the
Executive will execute a release of claims in a form reasonably satisfactory to
the Company.

         10. NONCOMPETITION AND NONSOLICITATION.

                  (a) NONCOMPETITION. The Executive acknowledges that in the
course of his employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their
predecessors, he has and will continue to become familiar with the trade secrets
of, and other confidential information concerning, the Company and its
Subsidiaries, that the Executive's services will be of special, unique and
extraordinary value to the Company and its Subsidiaries and that the Company's
ability to accomplish its purposes and to successfully pursue its business plan
and compete in the marketplace depend substantially on the skills and expertise
of the Executive. Therefore, and in further consideration of the compensation
being paid to the Executive hereunder, the Executive

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

agrees that, during the Employment Period and any Initial Period or Extended
Period, so long as Severance Payments are being made or during any portion of
the Initial or Extended Period that Severance Payments are not required to be
made pursuant to the last sentence of Section 9(d)(i) hereof (the "Noncompete
Period"), he shall not directly or indirectly own, manage, control, participate
in, consult with, render services for, or in any manner engage in any business
competing with the businesses of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any business
in which the Company or its Subsidiaries has commenced negotiations or has
requested and received information relating to the acquisition of such business
within eighteen months prior to the termination of the Executive's employment
with the Company, in any country where the Company, its Subsidiaries, or other
aforementioned business conducts business.

                  (b) NONSOLICITATION. During the Employment Period and for two
years following the Date of Termination, the Executive shall not directly or
indirectly through another entity (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee
of the Company or any Subsidiary to leave the employ of the Company or such
Subsidiary, or in any way willfully interfere with the relationship between the
Company or any Subsidiary and any employee thereof, (ii) induce or attempt to
induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of the
Company or any Subsidiary to cease doing business with the Company or such
Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such
customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and the Company or any
Subsidiary or (iii) initiate or engage in any discussions regarding an
acquisition of, or the Executive's employment (whether as an employee, an
independent contractor or otherwise) by, any businesses in which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries has entertained discussions or has requested and
received information relating to the acquisition of such business by the Company
or its Subsidiaries upon or within the 18-month period prior to the Date of
Termination.

                  (c) ENFORCEMENT. If, at the time of enforcement of this
Section 10, a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable
under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum
duration, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall
be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that the court shall be
allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum
duration, scope and area permitted by law. Because the Executive's services are
unique and because the Executive has access to confidential information, the
parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any
breach of any provision of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event a breach or
threatened breach by the Executive of any provision of this Agreement, the
Company may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in its favor,
apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or
injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of,
the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).

                                                                   EXHIBIT 10.35

                               EXECUTIVE AGREEMENT

         THIS EXECUTIVE AGREEMENT is made as of July 31, 1997, between
AnswerThink Consulting Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company"), and
John Brennan ("Executive").

         The Company and Executive desire to enter into an agreement pursuant to
which Executive will purchase, and the Company will sell, 280,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"). All of
such shares of Common Stock and all shares of Common Stock hereafter acquired by
Executive are referred to herein as "Executive Stock." Certain definitions are
set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement.

         The parties hereto agree as follows:

                     PROVISIONS RELATING TO EXECUTIVE STOCK

         1. Purchase and Sale of Executive Stock.

                  (a) Upon execution of this Agreement, Executive will purchase,
and the Company will sell, 280,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.0025
per share. The Company will deliver to Executive the certificates representing
such Executive Stock, and Executive will deliver to the Company a cashier's or
certified check or wire transfer of funds in the aggregate amount of $700.

                  (b) Within 30 days after Executive purchases Common Stock
pursuant to Section 1 (a) from the Company, Executive will make an effective
election with the Internal Revenue Service under Section 83(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder in the form of Annex A
attached hereto.

                  (c) In connection with the purchase and sale of the Executive
Stock hereunder, Executive represents and warrants to the Company that:

                           (i) The Executive Stock to be acquired by Executive
         pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for Executive's own account
         and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in
         violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities
         laws, and the Executive Stock will not be disposed of in contravention
         of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.

                           (ii) Executive is an "accredited investor" and a
         sophisticated investor for purposes of applicable foreign and U.S.
         federal and state securities laws and regulations and is able to
         evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Executive
         Stock.

                           (iii) Executive is able to bear the economic risk of
         his investment in the Executive Stock for an indefinite period of time
         because the Executive Stock has not been registered under the
         Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently
         registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
         registration is available.

                           (iv) Executive has had an opportunity to ask
         questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of
         the offering of Executive Stock and has had full access to such other
         information concerning the Company as he has requested.

                           (v) This Agreement and each of the other agreements
         contemplated hereby constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation
         of Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms and Executive's
         employment by the Company, and the execution, delivery and performance


<PAGE>

         of this Agreement and such other agreements by Executive does not and,
         to the knowledge of Executive, will not conflict with, violate or cause
         a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Executive is
         a party (including, but not limited to, any agreement referred to in
         clause (vi) below) or any judgment, order or decree to which Executive
         is subject and Executive further represents and warrants that Executive
         believes that Executive is not now in breach of any such agreement,
         contract or instrument to which Executive is a party.

                           (vi) Executive is not a party to or bound by any
         other employment agreement, noncompete agreement or confidentiality
         agreement.

                           (vii) Executive is a resident of the State of
         Florida.

                  (d) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Executive
Stock to Executive, and as a condition thereto, Executive acknowledges and
agrees that (i) neither the issuance of the Executive Stock to Executive nor any
provision contained herein shall entitle Executive to remain in the employment
of the Company and its Subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company to
terminate Executive's employment as contemplated by this Agreement at any time
for any reason and (ii) he will take (or omit to take) all such actions as are
necessary so that the representation and warranty made by Executive and
contained in Section 1(d)(v) remains true and correct at all times as if such
representation and warranty were remade by Executive on each date following the
date of this Agreement.

         2. Vesting of Certain Executive Stock.

240,000 shares of Common Stock purchased under Section 1(a) (the "Time Vesting
Common Stock") will become vested in accordance with the following schedule, if

Subsidiaries:

                                               CUMULATIVE PERCENTAGE OF
                                                  TIME VESTING COMMON
                   DATE                            STOCK TO BE VESTED
- ---------------------------------------------  -------------------------
2nd Anniversary of the date of this Agreement              50%
3rd Anniversary of the date of this Agreement              75%
4th Anniversary of the date of this Agreement             100%

                  (b) If (but only if) Executive's employment is terminated by
the Company without Cause, the aggregate number of shares of Time Vesting Common
Stock that shall be deemed vested shall equal (i) the number of shares which
have vested pursuant to Section 2(a) as of the date of such termination, which
shall in no event be less than 140,000, plus (ii) 50% of the excess of (x)
280,000 over (y) the number of shares included in clause (i) above. Immediately
prior to the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, if as of such time Executive
is still employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, all shares of Time
Vesting Common Stock which have not yet become vested shall become vested at the
time of such event.

                  (c) Shares of Non Restricted Executive Stock which have become
vested pursuant subsections (a) or (b) above are referred to herein as "Vested
Shares," and all other shares of Non Restricted Executive Stock are referred to
herein as "Unvested Shares." In addition, Restricted Shares which have become

                                       2
<PAGE>

         3. Repurchase Option.

                  (a) In the event that Executive ceases to be employed by any
of the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason (the "Termination"), the Non
Restricted Executive Stock (whether held by Executive or one or more of
Executive's transferees) and the Vested Restricted Shares will be subject to
repurchase by the Company, the Investors and the Other Executives pursuant to
the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3 (the "Repurchase Option").
Any shares subject to repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Option under this
Agreement are referred to herein as "Subject Shares."

                  (b) In the event of Termination: (i) The purchase price for
each Unvested Share of Common Stock will be Executive's Original Cost for such
share, (ii) the purchase price for each Vested Share of Common Stock and for
each Vested Restricted Share will be the Fair Market Value for such share and
(iii) the purchase price for each share of Common Stock will be the Liquidation
Value of such share (as defined in the Company's Articles of Incorporation).

                  (c) The Board may elect to purchase all or any portion of any
class of the Subject Shares (including all or any portion of the Unvested Shares
and Vested Shares of such class) by delivering written notice (the "Repurchase
Notice") to the holder or holders of the Executive Stock within 90 days after
the Termination. The Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Subject
Shares (including Unvested Shares and Vested Shares) of each class to be
acquired from each holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such
shares and the proposed time and place for the closing of the transaction. The
number of shares to be repurchased by the Company shall first be satisfied to
the extent possible from the shares held by Executive at the time of delivery of
the Repurchase Notice. If the number of shares of any class then held by
Executive is less than the total number of shares of such class which the
Company elects and is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Repurchase Option,
the Company shall purchase the remaining shares of such class elected to be
purchased from the other holder(s), pro rata according to the number of shares
of such class held by such other holder(s) at the time of delivery of such
Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest share).
The number of Unvested Shares and Vested Shares of each class to be repurchased
hereunder will be allocated among Executive and the other holders of
Non-Restricted Executive Stock (if any) pro rata according to the number of
shares of Non Restricted Executive Stock to be purchased from such person.

                  (d) If for any reason the Company does not elect to purchase
all of the Subject Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Option, each of the
Investors and the Other Executives shall be entitled to exercise the Repurchase
Option for the Subject Shares the Company has not elected to purchase (the
"Available Shares"). As soon as practicable after the Company has determined
that there will be Available Shares, but in any event within 120 days after the
Termination, the Company shall give written notice (the "Option Notice") to the
Investors and the Other Executives setting forth the number of Available Shares
and the purchase price for the Available Shares. Each Investor and each Other
Executive may elect to purchase any or all of the Available Shares by giving
written notice to the Company within one month after the Option Notice has been
given by the Company. As soon as practicable, and in any event within ten days
after the expiration of the one month period set forth above, the Company shall
notify each holder of Subject Shares as to the number of shares being purchased
from such holder by the Investors and the Other Executives (the "Supplemental
Repurchase Notice"). At the time the Company delivers the Supplemental
Repurchase Notice to such holder(s), the Company shall also deliver written
notice to the Investors and the Other Executives setting forth the number of
shares each such Person is entitled to purchase, the aggregate purchase price
and the time and place of the closing of the transaction. If the Investors and
Other Executives elect to purchase an aggregate number of any class or type
(i.e., vested or unvested) of Subject Shares greater than the number of such
class or type of Subject Shares which such Persons are entitled to purchase
pursuant to the Repurchase Option, such class or type shall be allocated among
the Investors and Other Executives pro rata based upon the number of shares of
Underlying Common Stock owned by each such Person (but in no event shall the pro
rata share of any such Person result in such Person acquiring a number of
Subject Shares of any class or type in excess of the number of such class or
type requested to be purchased by such Person). If the number of

                                       3
<PAGE>

shares of any class then held by Executive is less than the total number of
shares of such class which the Investors and the Other Executives have elected
and are entitled to purchase pursuant to the Repurchase Option, such Persons
shall purchase the remaining shares elected to be purchased from the other
holder(s) of Non Restricted Executive Stock under this Agreement, pro rata
according to the number of shares of Non Restricted Executive Stock of such
class held by such other holder(s) at the time of delivery of such Repurchase
Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest share).

                  (e) The closing of the purchase of Subject Shares pursuant to
the Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by the Company in
the Repurchase Notice or Supplemental Repurchase Notice, which date shall not be
more than one month nor less than five days after the delivery of the last such
notice. The Company will pay for the Subject Shares to be purchased by it
pursuant to the Repurchase Option by first offsetting amounts outstanding under
any bona fide debts owed by Executive to the Company; upon full repayment of
such bona fide debts, the Company will make payment by, subject to Subsection
(f) below, a check or wire transfer of funds. Each Investor and Other Executive
will pay for Subject Shares to be purchased pursuant to the Repurchase Option by
check or wire transfer of funds. Each purchaser of Subject Shares pursuant to
the Repurchase Option will be entitled to receive customary representations and
warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require all sellers'
signatures be guaranteed.

                  (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, all repurchases of Subject Shares by the Company shall be subject to
applicable restrictions contained in the Florida Business Corporation Act and in
the Company's and its Subsidiaries' debt and equity financing agreements. If any
such restrictions prohibit the repurchase of Subject Shares hereunder which the
Company is otherwise entitled or required to make, the Company may make such
repurchases as soon as it is permitted to do so under such restrictions.

         4. Restrictions on Transfer of Executive Stock.

                  (a) RETENTION OF NONRESTRICTED EXECUTIVE STOCK. Until the
fourth anniversary of the date of this Agreement, Executive shall not sell,
transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of any interest in any shares of
Executive Stock, except for Exempt Transfers (as defined in Section 4(b) below).

                  (b) TRANSFER OF EXECUTIVE STOCK. Subject to Section 4(a)
above, Executive shall not Transfer any interest in any shares of Executive
Stock, except pursuant to: (i) the provisions of Section 3 hereof, a Public
Sale, a Sale of the Company or the provisions of the Restricted Securities
Agreement ("Exempt Transfers") or (ii) the provisions of this Section 4;
provided that in no event shall any Transfer of Executive Stock pursuant to this
clause (ii) be made for any consideration other than cash payable upon
consummation of such Transfer; and provided further that Unvested Shares may
only be Transferred pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 hereof; and provided
further that Restricted Shares that remain unvested under the Restricted
Securities Agreement may only be Transferred pursuant to the Restricted
Securities Agreement. Executive will not consummate any Transfer permitted by
clause (ii) of the preceding sentence until 60 days after the Sale Notice has
been given to the Company, the Investors and the Other Executives, unless the
parties to the Transfer have been finally determined pursuant to this Section 4
prior to the expiration of such 60 day period. (The date of the first to occur
of such events is referred to herein as the "Authorization Date").

                  (c) FIRST REFUSAL RIGHTS. The Company may elect to purchase
all (but not less than all) of the shares of Executive Stock to be transferred
upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by
delivering a written notice of such election to Executive, the Investors and
Other Executives within 20 days after the Sale Notice has been given to the
Company. If the Company has not elected to purchase all of the Executive Stock
to be transferred, each Investor and each Other Executive may elect to purchase
all or any portion of the Executive Stock to be transferred upon the same terms
and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by giving written notice of
such election to Executive within 40 days after the Sale Notice has been given
to the Investors and each Other Executive. If the Investors

                                       4
<PAGE>

and the Other Executives elect to purchase an aggregate number of any class of
Executive Stock greater than the number of such class of Executive Stock
specified in the Sale Notice, such number of shares of Executive Stock shall be
allocated among the Investors pro rata based upon the number of shares of
Underlying Common Stock owned by each such Investor and Other Executive (but in
no event shall the pro rata share of any Investor or Other Executive result in
such Investor or Other Executive acquiring a number of any class of Executive
Stock in excess of the number of such class of Executive Stock requested by such
Investor or Other Executive). If neither the Company nor, in the aggregate, the
Investors and the Other Executives elect to purchase all of the shares of
Executive Stock specified in the Sale Notice, Executive may transfer the shares
of Executive Stock specified in the Sale Notice, subject to the provisions of
Section 4(d) below, at a price and on terms no more favorable to the
transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Sale Notice during the 60 day period
immediately following the Authorization Date. Any shares of Executive Stock not
transferred within such 60 day period will be subject to the provisions of this
Section 4(c) upon subsequent transfer. The Company may pay the purchase price
for such shares by offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed
by Executive to the Company with the balance, if any, subject to Section 3(f)
(except "Subject Shares" shall be deemed to refer to "Executive Shares") by
check or wire transfer of funds.

                  (d) PARTICIPATION RIGHTS. If neither the Company nor, in the
aggregate, the Investors and Other Executives have elected to purchase all of
the Executive Stock specified in the Sale Notice pursuant to Section 4(c) above,
each Investor and Other Executive may elect to participate in the contemplated
Transfer by delivering written notice to Executive and the Company within 50
days after receipt by such Investor or Other Executive of the Sale Notice. If
any Investor or Other Executive has elected to participate in such sale,
Executive and such Investor or Other Executive will be entitled to sell in the
contemplated sale, at the same price and on the same terms, a number of shares
of the Company's Common Stock equal to the product of: (i) the quotient
determined by dividing the percentage of the Company's Underlying Common Stock
held by such Person, by the aggregate percentage of the Company's Underlying
Common Stock owned by Executive (including both Vested and Unvested Shares) and
the Investors and the Other Executives participating in such sale and (ii) the
number of shares of Common Stock to be sold in the contemplated sale. Any
purchaser in a sale subject to this Section 4(d) will be required to purchase
from each Investor and Other Executive electing to participate, at such Person's
election, a portion of the Convertible Preferred held by such Person equal to
the greater of the percentage of (x) such Person's Convertible Preferred being
sold in such transaction and (y) Executive's Common Stock being sold in such
transaction.

         For example, IF:

                           (i) the Sale Notice contemplated a sale of 100 shares
         of Common Stock;

                           (ii) Executive was at such time the owner of 200
         shares of Underlying Common Stock (which was equal to 20% of the total
         Underlying Common Stock); and

                           (iii) one Investor elected to participate and that
         Investor owned 600 shares of Underlying Common Stock (which was equal
         to 60% of the total Underlying Common Stock) and 250 shares of
         Convertible Preferred;

                           THEN

                           (A) Executive would be entitled to sell 25 shares of
         Common Stock (20% 80% x 100 shares); and

                           (B) that Investor would be entitled to sell 75 shares
         of Common Stock (60% /divided by/ 80% x 100 shares) and 31.25 shares of
         Convertible Preferred (the same percentage of that

                                       5
<PAGE>

         Investor's Convertible Preferred as the percentage of that Investor's
         Common Stock being sold, i.e., 12.5%).

Executive will use his best efforts to obtain the agreement of the prospective
transferee(s) to the participation of each Investor and Other Executive desiring
to participate in the contemplated Transfer and will not transfer any Executive
Stock to the prospective transferee(s) if such trans feree(s) refuses to allow
the participation of such Investor and Other Executive.

                  (e) CERTAIN PERMITTED TRANSFERS. The restrictions contained in
this Section 4 will not apply with respect to: (i) transfers of shares of
Executive Stock pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution or (ii)
transfer of shares of Executive Stock among Executive's Family Group; provided
that such restrictions will continue to be applicable to the Executive Stock
after any such transfer and the transferees of such Executive Stock have agreed
in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. In addition,
following the completion of an underwritten Public Offering, Executive, in his
sole discretion, may pledge any of his Executive Stock (other than Unvested
Shares or Restricted Shares that have not vested under the Restricted Securities
Agreement) as collateral for a loan so long as the pledgee of such stock and the
Executive enter in a pledge agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Board, pursuant to which pledgee, among other things, agrees
that pledgee may only sell such Executive Stock in a Public Sale.

                  (f) NO TRANSFERS OF RESTRICTED SHARES. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary (including, without limitation, the
other provisions of this Section 4), Executive may not transfer, assign, pledge
or otherwise dispose of any interest in any Unvested Shares (except pursuant to
Section 3 hereof) or any Restricted Shares that remain unvested under the
Restricted Securities Agreement (except pursuant to the Restricted Securities
Agreement).

                  (g) TERMINATION OF RESTRICTIONS. The restrictions on the
Transfer of shares of Executive Stock set forth in this Section 4 will continue
with respect to each such share of Executive Stock until the date on which such
Executive Stock has been transferred in a transaction permitted by this Section
4 (except in a transaction contemplated by Section 4(e)); provided that in any
event such restrictions will terminate on a Sale of the Company.

         5. ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF EXECUTIVE STOCK.

                  (a) LEGEND. The certificates representing the Executive Stock
will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

         "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED
         AS OF JULY 31, 1997, HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
         OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN
         THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN
         EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY
         THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON
         TRANSFER, CERTAIN REPURCHASE OPTIONS AND CERTAIN OTHER AGREEMENTS SET
         FORTH IN AN EXECUTIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND AN EXECUTIVE OF
         THE COMPANY DATED AS OF JULY 31, 1997. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE
         OBTAINED BY THE HOLDER HEREOF AT THE COMPANY'S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF
         BUSINESS WITHOUT CHARGE."

                  (b) OPINION OF COUNSEL. No holder of Executive Stock may sell,
transfer or dispose of any Executive Stock (except pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act) without first delivering to the
Company an opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in form and

                                       6
<PAGE>

substance to the Company) that neither registration nor qualification under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws is required in connection
with such transfer.

                       PROVISIONS RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT

         6. EMPLOYMENT. The Company agrees to employ Executive and Executive
accepts such employment for the period beginning as of the date hereof and
ending upon the earlier of three years from the date hereof (or such later date
as agreed by Executive and the Company) and termination pursuant to Section 7(b)
hereof (the "Employment Period").

                  (a) SALARY, BONUS AND BENEFITS. During the Employment Period,
the Company will pay Executive a base salary (the "Annual Base Salary") as the
Board may designate from time to time, at the rate of not less than $200,000 per
annum. Executive will also be eligible to earn a bonus pursuant to a bonus plan
adopted by the Board for each fiscal year. Executive's Annual Base Salary for
any partial year will be prorated based upon the number of days elapsed in such
year. In addition, during the Employment Period, Executive will be entitled to
such other benefits approved by the Board and made available to the Company's
senior management.

                  (b) TERMINATION. The Employment Period will continue until
Executive's resignation, disability (as determined by the Board in its good
faith judgment) or death or until the Board determines in its good faith
judgment that termination of Executive's employment is in the best interests of
the Company. If Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without
Cause, during the one year period commencing on the date of termination (the
"Initial Period"), the Company shall pay Executive an aggregate amount equal to
Executive's Annual Base Salary, payable in equal installments on the Company's
regular salary payment dates (the "Severance Payments"). In addition, the
Company shall have the option, by delivering written notice to Executive within
90 days after the date of termination, to extend the severance period up to the
second anniversary of the date of termination (the "Extended Period"). During
the Extended Period, the Company will continue to make Severance Payments at
same annual rate to Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing and without in any
way modifying the provisions of Section 9 hereof, from and after the first date
that Executive becomes employed with another Person, the Company, at its option,
may eliminate or otherwise reduce the amount of Severance Payments otherwise
required to be made pursuant to this Section 7(b).

         7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

                  (a) Executive acknowledges that the information, observations
and data obtained by him concerning the business and affairs of the Company and
its affiliates and its and their predecessors during the course of his
performance of services for, or employment with, any of the foregoing persons
(whether or not compensated for such services) are the property of the Company
and its affiliates, including information concerning acquisition opportunities
in or reasonably related to the Company's business or industry of which
Executive becomes aware during such period, and any Initial Period or Extended
Period. Therefore, Executive agrees that he will not at any time (whether during
or after the Employment Period) disclose to any unauthorized person or, directly
or indirectly, use for his own account, any of such information, observations or
data without the Board's consent, unless and to the extent that the
aforementioned matters become generally known to and available for use by the
public other than as a direct or indirect result of Executive's acts or
omissions to act or the acts or omissions to act of other senior or junior
management employees of the Company; or any of its Subsidiaries. Executive
agrees to deliver to the Company at the termination of his employment, or at any
other time the Company may request in writing (whether during or after the
Employment Period), all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other
documents, regardless of the format or media (and copies thereof), relating to
the business of the Company and its affiliates and its and their predecessors
(including, without limitation, all acquisition prospects, lists and contact
information) which he may then possess or have under his control.

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  (b) INVENTIONS AND PATENTS. Executive acknowledges that all
inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses,
drawings, reports and all similar or related information (whether or not
patentable) that relate to the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' actual or
anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or
services and that are conceived, developed, made or reduced to practice by
Executive while employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries or any of its and
their predecessors ("Work Product") belong to the Company or such Subsidiary and
Executive hereby assigns, and agrees to assign, all of the above to the Company
or such Subsidiary. Any copyrightable work prepared in whole or in part by
Executive in the course of his work for any of the foregoing entities shall be
deemed a "work made for hire" under the copyright laws, and the Company or such
Subsidiary shall own all rights therein. To the extent that any such
copyrightable work is not a "work made for hire," Executive hereby assigns and
agrees to assign to Company or such Subsidiary all right, title and interest,
including without limitation, copyright in and to such copyrightable work.
Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product and copyrightable work to
the Board and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether
during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm the Company's or
its Subsidiary's ownership (including, without limitation, assignments,
consents, powers of attorney and other instruments).

         8. NONCOMPETITION AND NONSOLICITATION

                  (a) NONCOMPETITION. Executive acknowledges that in the course
of his employment with predecessors of the Company and its affiliates, he has
become familiar with, and during the course of his employment with the Company
and its Subsidiaries he will become familiar with, the Company's and its
affiliates' trade secrets and with other confidential information concerning the
Company and its affiliates and that Executive's services will be of special,
unique and extraordinary value to the Company and its Subsidiaries and that the
Company's ability to accomplish its purposes and to successfully pursue its
business plan and compete in the marketplace depend substantially on the skills
and expertise of Executive. Therefore, and in further consideration of the
compensation being paid to Executive hereunder, and the Vesting Common Stock
being issued to Executive hereunder, Executive agrees that, during the
Employment Period and any Initial Period or Extended Period, so long as
Severance Payments are being made unless Severance Payments are not required to
be made pursuant to the last sentence of Section 7(b) (the "Noncompete Period"),
he shall not directly or indirectly own, manage, control, participate in,
consult with, render services for, or in any manner engage in any business
competing with the businesses of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any business
in which the Company or its Subsidiaries has commenced negotiations or has
requested and received information relating to the acquisition of such business
within eighteen months prior to the termination of the Executive's employment
with the Company, in any country where the Company, its Subsidiaries, or other
aforementioned business conducts business.

                  (b) NONSOLICITATION. During the two years following
Termination, Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another entity:
(i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary to
leave the employ of the Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way willfully
interfere with the relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary and any
employee thereof (ii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier,
licensee or other business relation of the Company or any Subsidiary to cease
doing business with the Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with
the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business
relation and the Company or any Subsidiary or (iii) initiate or engage in any
discussions regarding an acquisition of, or Executive's employment (whether as
an employee, an independent contractor or otherwise) by, any businesses in which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has entertained discussions or has
requested and received information relating to the acquisition of such business
by the Company or its Subsidiaries upon or within the 18 month period prior to
the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company.

                  (c) ENFORCEMENT. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 8
or 9 of this Agreement, a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are
unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that
the maximum duration, scope or geographical area reasonable under such

                                       8
<PAGE>

circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that
the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover
the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Because Executive's
services are unique and because Executive has access to confidential
information, the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate
remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event a breach or
threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors or assigns
may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to
any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive
or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the
provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

dividend or other recapitalization.

                  "FAIR MARKET VALUE" of each share of Executive Stock means the

determined by the Board, in which case, the costs of the appraiser shall be
borne by the Company. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and
binding upon all parties. If the Repurchase Option is exercised within 90 days
