ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
- ---------------------------------------------
On November 16, 1998, CACI International Inc announced that it has completed
its acquisition of all of the common stock of QuesTech, Inc., which became
effective at 11:59 p.m. on November 13, 1998. The total consideration paid by
CACI, including the assumption of liabilities, was approximately $42 million;
QuesTech shareholders will receive $18.13 per share in cash as they surrender
their Common Stock. QuesTech specializes in the development and application
of information technology and engineering services for the defense and
national security community. The transaction was funded through borrowings
under CACI's existing line of credit with a group of banks.
QuesTech, which has over 600 employees worldwide, will be operated as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CACI under the new name CACI Technologies, Inc.
The operations of the new subsidiary will be fully integrated into CACI to
achieve the full benefit of the merger for customers and shareholders. CACI
expects the acquisition to be accretive to net earnings. In its last full
year of operations, QuesTech reported revenues of $78 million.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
Stockholders
QuesTech, Inc., and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of QuesTech, Inc.
(a Virginia corporation), and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of QuesTech, Inc., and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
We have also audited Schedule II as of December 31, 1997, and for each of the
three years in the period then ended. In our opinion, this schedule presents
fairly the information required to be set forth therein.

QuesTech, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. Nature of Operations
The Company performs a broad range of high technology services for industry
and agencies of the United States Department of Defense ("DOD") and the
national security community. These services are provided through two business
units, QuesTech Research Division ("QTRD") and QuesTech Service Company
("QTSC"). Revenues from government contracts account for 99% of the Company's
revenues. A third subsidiary, QuesTech Packaging, Inc. ("QTPI") was in the
business of manufacturing plastic containers until operations were ceased on
August 31, 1998 (see Note J).
2. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
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.
3. Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
4. Income Recognition
The Company provides services, primarily for the United States Government,
under three types of contracts: cost-reimbursement, fixed price and
time-and-materials. Substantially all of the Company's revenue is derived from
these contracts. Approximately 40% of the Company's consolidated revenues
during each of the last three years was generated by a major contract with the
Department of the Army. Income is recognized for cost-reimbursement and
fixed-price type contracts using the percentage-of-completion method based on
costs incurred; for time-and-materials contracts, income is based on
contractually defined billing rates applied to services performed and
materials delivered. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized as soon as
they become known.
Certain of the Company's contracts include provisions permitting the
government to withhold a defined amount or percentage of a contract price
until certain conditions have been satisfactorily met. These conditions
primarily relate to uncompleted indirect cost rate negotiations and
substantial completion of contract performance. The inclusion of these amounts
in income is consistent with the revenue recognition policy stated above. The
inclusion of the retainages and costs subject to audit in income is consistent
with common industry practice.
A portion of the Company's revenues related to performance on certain
cost-reimbursement type contracts is subject to audit by the United States
Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). Such contract audits have been completed
through December 31, 1995 for QTRD and December 31, 1991 for QTSC. DCAA audits
of contract costs for the government contract segment of QTSC for fiscal years
1992 through 1995 are expected to be completed during 1998. Contract revenue
has been recorded in amounts that are expected to be realized upon final
settlement.
The Company provides reserves for potentially unrecoverable contract costs and
uncollectible accounts receivable based upon a periodic review by management
of the status of DCAA incurred cost audits and the collectibility of accounts
receivable. Increases or decreases in such reserves are recorded in "Other
Operating Expenses" in the accompanying financial statements.
5. Operating Expenses
Operating expenses presented in the accompanying statements of operations
reflect the allocation of overhead and general and administrative expenses.
6. Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value:
o Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, line
of credit, and other accrued liabilities - The carrying amounts
approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments. The Company's receivables arise primarily in connection
with its performance on government contracts and therefore have
negligible credit risk.
o Cash Values of Insurance Policies - The fair value is based on the cash
values accumulated in these policies, net of borrowings. Surrender
charges are not reflected in the fair value amount unless cash
withdrawals or loans are made against these policies.
o Letter of credit - The fair value is based on the estimated cost to
terminate or otherwise settle these obligations with the counter-parties.
Following is a summary of the estimated fair value at December 31, 1997, of
PAGE
<PAGE>
the Company's financial instruments other than those on which the carrying
amount approximates fair value.
Carrying Fair
Amount Value
---------- ----------
Cash values of Insurance policies $1,697,800 $1,697,800
Letter of credit -- $ 250,000
The letter of credit, which was outstanding at December 31, 1997 was released
on February 5, 1998.
8. Property, Plant and Equipment and Related Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Cost includes expenditures
for major improvements and replacements and the net amount of interest cost
associated with significant capital additions. Construction in progress costs
and specialized manufacturing equipment in service are stated at the lower of
cost or fair value, based on expected future cash flows from the capital
investment. During 1997 and 1996, interest cost associated with construction
in progress was expensed due to immaterial amounts. The cost of properties
held under capital leases is equal to the lower of the net present value of
the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased property at the
inception of the lease.
Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of
depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives (generally
five to ten years), using both the straight-line and declining-balance
methods. Amortization of computer software developed for internal use is over
five years, based on a double-declining balance method. Leasehold improvements
are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the service lives of
the improvements, whichever is the shorter period. Amortization of capitalized
leased assets is included with depreciation expense.
In accordance with SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived
Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of," long-lived assets and
certain intangibles, including goodwill, are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount
may not be recoverable. The Company has determined that no impairment loss
need be recognized for applicable assets of continuing operations.
9. Goodwill
The excess of the acquisition costs over the fair value of the net assets of
the businesses acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
periods ranging from 19 to 20 years.
The Company regularly performs a reassessment of the continuing value of the
acquired goodwill associated with the acquisitions. To the extent that the
future cash flows based on the contracts' expected operating profits will
exceed the carrying cost of the asset, an impairment loss is not recognized.
Contract termination or non-renewal of the contract are events or changes in
circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill asset may
not be recoverable, thereby requiring the recognition of an impairment loss at
that time.
10. Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
The Company applies the provisions of SFAS 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," and has elected to recognize the
transition obligation on a delayed recognition basis. The transition
obligation represents the unfunded portion of the accrued postretirement
benefit obligation (the "APBO") as of the transition date less any accrued
postretirement benefit cost. The accrued postretirement benefit cost as of the
balance sheet date reflects the net periodic cost attributed to the current
year, net of benefit payments, plus the accrued amount as of the beginning of
the year. The cost measurement principles and required disclosures of SFAS 106
are applied separately to each identifiable postretirement benefit plan. The
accrued postretirement benefit cost obligation is reported as an aggregate
amount in the financial statements.
11. Accounting for Post-Employment Benefits
The Company periodically re-evaluates its projected obligations under
post-employment agreements when the subject officers receive compensation
increases during their years of active employment. The projected cost of
additional compensation payable during the post-employment years is discounted
at present value and charged to operations. Periodic increases in the balances
due each of the officers also reflect the accrued interest on
the discounted cost of the liability.
12. Accounting for Stock-based Compensation
As permitted by SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation," the
Company uses the intrinsic value based method, as prescribed by Opinion 25,
that measures compensation cost only to the extent that the option price is
lower than the quoted market price of the stock at the date of the award. Pro
forma disclosures of net income, and earnings per share are presented in Note
I as if the fair value based method of accounting defined in SFAS 123 had been
applied.
13. Earnings per share
In 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), "Earnings Per Share." This Statement replaces
the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It also
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income
statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a
reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation
to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS
excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for
the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
then shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS is computed similarly
to fully diluted EPS pursuant to Opinion 15. In complying with the
requirements of SFAS No. 128, the Company has restated all prior period EPS
data.
For purposes of computing the diluted EPS, the Company has dilutive stock
options as share equivalents using the treasury stock method. At December 31,
1997 and 1996, the Company's Stock Employee Compensation Trust (SECT), held
176,131 shares. These SECT shares have been excluded from the base of the EPS
calculations since they have not been allocated to individuals.

(1) Options to purchase 42,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging
from $7.50-$7.70 per share were outstanding during the second half of
1997 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because
the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price
of the common shares.
15. New Accounting Standards
Reporting Comprehensive Income
The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), "Reporting Comprehensive
Income,"effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This
Statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set
of general-purpose financial statements. This Statement requires that all
items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that
is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. SFAS 130
does not require a specific format for that financial statement but requires
that an enterprise display an amount representing total comprehensive income
for the period in that financial statement. The Statement requires that an
enterprise classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a
financial statement and display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive
income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the
equity section of a statement of financial position. Reclassification of
financial statements for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is
required. Currently, the Company has no other comprehensive income.
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (SFAS 131), "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information," effective for periods beginning
after December 15, 1997. This Statement establishes standards for the way that
public business enterprises report information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report
selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports
issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures
about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
This Statement requires that a public business enterprise report financial and
descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating
segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on
the basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and
deciding how to allocate resources to segments. This Statement requires that a
public business enterprise reports a measure of segment profit or loss,
certain specific revenue and expense items, and segment assets and certain
other related information; information about the
revenues derived from the enterprise's products or services (or groups of
similar products and services), about the countries in which the enterprise
earns revenues and holds assets, and about major customers regardless of
whether that information is used in making operating decisions.
However, this Statement does not require an enterprise to report information
that is not prepared for internal use if reporting it would be impracticable.
The Company will comply with the disclosure requirements of SFAS 131 in fiscal
year 1998.

NOTE C - LINE OF CREDIT
At December 31, 1997, the Company's remaining available line of credit (LOC)
through First Union Bank (formerly Signet Bank of Virginia) was $2.1 million.
The underlying credit agreement permits borrowings up to $6.0 million. The
Company has the option of paying interest on the principal amount of the prime
rate or at LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 2.70%. The Company's
borrowing rate at December 31, 1997 was 8.5% which was the prime rate. All
borrowings are secured by a first lien security interest in all receivable
accounts, contract rights, chattel paper, instruments, general intangibles,
equipment, inventory, and documents now owned and hereafter acquired by the
Company. The Company was in compliance with various financial covenants, which
require the maintenance of a maximum debt-to-net worth ratio of 5 to 1 and a
minimum tangible net worth of $3.0 million.
In addition to its revolving credit agreement, the Company has at its disposal
a $750,000 term loan facility which expires on March 31, 1998. As of December
31, 1997, the Company had not borrowed any amounts on this facility. The
proceeds of the term loan are intended for the purchase of houses of employees
relocated by the Company. The entire principal amount of each term
loan shall be due on the first to occur of (i) the sale of the house securing
such term loan and the (ii) maturity date.
As part of the borrowing arrangements, the Company is required to pay a
commitment fee of 3/8 of one percent of the average daily amount of the unused
portion of the credit facility.
The agreement provides for the issuance of letters of credit by the bank on
the Company's behalf.
The current agreement expires on May 31, 1998. Management expects the
commitment to be extended by an amendment at that time.

During 1996, the Company refinanced certain construction in progress in its
Newport News manufacturing plant under a sale/leaseback arrangement. The
machines were sold for a sum amount in excess of $2 million. The transaction
was accounted for as lease financing, wherein the property remains on the
books subject to depreciation. A financing obligation representing the
proceeds was recorded and is reduced based on payments under the lease.

Based on an analysis of future operating income for the purpose of realizing
deferred tax assets, management believes that its net deferred tax asset will
be recoverable in future returns and that its valuation allowance requires no
further adjustment.
The Company's federal income tax return for 1995 is currently being examined
by the Internal Revenue Service. Management does not believe that this or
subsequent audits will have a material effect on the Company's financial
statements.
NOTE F - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
1. Profit-Sharing and Pension Plan
The Company has a profit-sharing plan pursuant to Section 401 of the Internal
Revenue Code, whereby participants may contribute up to 20% of their
compensation. Under the plan, the Company may make two types of contributions
subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors: (1) Employer matching
contributions and (2) Profit-Sharing contributions. In order to share in
either contribution, an employee must complete 1,000 hours of service during
the Plan Year when the contribution is made. Generally, contributions vest in
the employees' accounts based on their length of service.
During 1997, the employer contribution to the 401k plan was $221,500 compared
to $103,700 for 1996. No employer contribution was made by the Company during
1995.
2. Discretionary Bonus Plan
Under the Officers and Managers Discretionary Bonus Plan for QuesTech and
subordinate units ("the Bonus Plan"), officers and managers of the Company and
its subsidiaries are selected by management for participation in the Bonus
Plan. Bonuses are apportioned as a percentage of the recipient's salary and
are based upon the Company's overall performance and upon the performance of
the business unit to which the recipient is assigned, subject to review and
approval by the Chief Executive Officer and/or Chief Operating Officer and the
Board of Directors.
Amounts charged to expense under this plan were $98,000, $452,200 and $393,500
at December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
3. Postretirement Benefits
The Company has three separate postretirement benefit plans which fall within
the purview of SFAS 106: the Group Health Plan, the Executive Life Insurance
Plan, and the Deferred Compensation Plan.
a. Group Health Plan
The Group Health Plan extends medical and dental benefit coverage to
employees, who upon retirement at the age of 65, have completed 20 years of
full-time employment with the Company, or retire with an individual employment
agreement which specifically grants coverage approved by the insurance carrier
of the subject group health policy. The Plan is contributory and contains
cost-saving features, such as deductibles and coinsurance. The accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation (APBO) represents the present value of
insurance claims expected to be presented by eligible employees during their
retirement years, based on the net premiums paid by the Company on behalf of
active employees.
For measurement purposes, the annual health care cost trend for 1997 benefits
was 8%, grading down to 5% over four years. The 1% increase in health care
cost trend was 9% in 1997, grading down to 6% over four years. During 1995, a
10% medical inflation rate was assumed, grading down to 5% over six years. The
measurement of the APBO for 1997 and 1996 was based on an assumed discount
rate of 7.5%.
b. Executive Life Insurance
The Company maintains life insurance policies, covering certain of its
officers, both former and active, through their lifetime, in accordance with
their respective employment agreements. The cost of the insurees' premiums is
treated as compensation expense.
c. Officers and Managers Deferred Compensation Plan (DEF COM)
DEF COM allows eligible employee participants to defer current compensation
and provides supplemental postretirement benefits along with certain specified
death benefits to the participants' beneficiaries. Postretirement benefits
under DEF COM are payable upon the participant's termination of employment
(including retirement), and are paid in equal installments over a period equal
to the length of time the employee deferred compensation, but no longer than
ten years. Termination or retirement benefits are based upon the employee's
actual deferrals plus interest credited annually, as set by the Administrator.
Supplemental death benefits are payable in some cases over a
period of ten years provided death occurs while the employee participant is
actively employed with the Company.
The Company invests the amounts deferred by employees in life insurance
policies. Since DEF COM is a defined contribution plan, the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of the transition date has been based on
the actual balances in each participant's account, which consists of
contributions and accrued interest.

4. Stock Employee Compensation Trust
On February 1, 1994, the Company established a Stock Employee Compensation
Trust ("SECT") and financed the SECT's repurchase of 221,792 shares of common
stock owned by two of the Company's former founders. The Company's loan to the
SECT will be paid down from time to time as the employees exercise and pay for
their options under the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan. At December 31,
1997 and 1996, there were 176,131 unallocated and uncommitted shares held by
the SECT.
NOTE G - OTHER LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
Amounts due to certain founders (no longer affiliated with the Company), under
a Confidential Settlement Agreement, are included in Other Long-Term
Obligations. Payments under the agreements will continue until 2004. During
1995, the Company entered into a similar agreement with another former
founder. Amounts under the latter agreement payable through 2006 are included
in Other Long-Term Obligations as well. The cost of the latter agreement was
included in Other Expense in the 1995 financial statements.
NOTE H - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
1. Future Minimum Rental Commitments
The following is a schedule by years of the approximate future minimum rental
payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining
PAGE
<PAGE>
noncancelable lease terms of one year or more as of December 31, 1996:
Year ending December 31,
------------------------
1997 .......................... 1,809,100
1998 .......................... 1,723,200
1999 .......................... 1,034,400
2000 .......................... 884,800
2001 .......................... 607,200
----------
Future minimum rental payments ....... $6,058,700
==========
Net rent expense under operating leases amounted to approximately $2,053,400,
$1,744,000, and $1,739,900 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively, after being reduced by rental income which was not
material during the last three years.
2. Employment Agreements
The Company has employment agreements with two executive officers which
stipulate salary continuation for a period of five years and two years, as a
result of voluntary or involuntary termination, regardless of the change in
control of the Company. The cost of accrued interest and the present value of
compensation changes for these agreements aggregated ($115,353 and $106,700)
during 1997 and 1996, respectively. None of these costs will be paid until the
subject officers change their employment status with the Company.
NOTE I - STOCK OPTIONS
The Company accounts for its incentive stock options under APB No. 5. The
Company has two incentive stock option plans - 1994 and 1996. The 1994 and
1996 Stock Option Plans authorize the grant of up to 200,000 and 268,132
shares of the Company's common stock, respectively. These options which have
five-year terms vest at a rate of 20% per year from the date of grant. The
option price of all options granted to date represents the fair market value
of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. Options to purchase 10,000
and 72,882 shares are available for future grants under the 1994 and 1996
Plans, respectively.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the plan. Had
compensation cost for the plan been determined based on the fair value of the
options at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS 123, the
Company's net income and earnings per share would have been:
1997 1996 1995
-------- -------- --------
Net Income As reported ... $645,900 $818,300 $520,100
Pro forma ..... 527,100 705,600 419,000
Basic EPS As reported ... 0.45 0.59 0.39
Pro forma ..... 0.37 0.48 0.28
Diluted EPS As reported ... 0.42 0.54 0.34
Pro forma ..... 0.36 0.48 0.28
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant
using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 1997, 1996 and 1995: expected
volatility of 67%, 71% and 71%, respectively; risk free interest rate of 6%;
and expected lives of four years. The pro forma effect on net income for 1997,
1996 or 1995 is not representative of the pro forma effect on net income in
future years because it does not take into consideration pro forma
compensation expense related to grants made prior to 1995.
A summary of the status of the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plans as of
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, and changes during the years ending on those
dates is presented below.

The Company has also provided for the grant of non-qualified stock options to
the Company's non-employee directors. These options were granted to purchase
15,000 during 1996 at the stock's then fair market value, which was $7.25. Of
these options, 15,000 shares were outstanding at December 31, 1997.
NOTE J - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the second quarter of 1998, as a result of the potential merger of
QuesTech and CACI International, a decision was made to dispose of the
commercial packaging operation, QuesTech Packaging, Inc. (QTPI). QTPI designs
and manufactures plastic containers utilizing its patented process and custom
designed manufacturing equipment.
QuesTech management had been exploring various alternatives for disposing of
QTPI, including an offer from QTPI management to purchase the manufacturing
operations. On August 31, 1998 the sole shareholder of QTPI authorized the
dissolution of QTPI in light of the inability of QTPI management to secure
financing for its proposed purchase. In association with the decision to
dissolve QTPI, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $2.1 million
representing the anticipated loss on disposal, net of tax effects, during the
third quarter of fiscal year 1998.
The disposal of QTPI has been accounted for as discontinued operations and
accordingly, its operations have been segregated and reported as discontinued
operations in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated
Statements of Earnings and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all years
presented. Since the decision to dispose of the manufacturing division, the
Company operates in one business segment on a continuing basis.
The assets and liabilities of QuesTech Packaging, Inc. as of December 31, 1997
are as follows:
Current Assets:
Cash ............................. $ 10,800
Accounts Receivable .............. 400,000
Inventory ........................ 69,200

==========
NOTE K - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In May 1998, the Company entered into a letter of intent which proposes a
merger of the company with CACI Acquisition Corporation, an entity formed by
CACI International Inc. If a proposal to approve and adopt the merger is
approved by the Company's shareholders, the Company's Shareholder's will
receive a cash payment of $18.13 per share.

dividing the Net Proceeds of Sale by the Company Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Company Common
Stock held in the Company's treasury.)

Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of Merger Sub ("Merger Sub Stock")

of the certificate or certificates for shares of Company Common Stock for
which that Stockholder claims payment, the aggregate amount of the Purchase
Price Per Share to which that Stockholder is entitled.
2.5 Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any
further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement or to vest, perfect or confirm in the Surviving Corporation title to
or ownership or possession of any property, right, privilege, power, franchise

directors, officers, employees or agents, nor any trustee or administrator of
any trust created under the Company Plans, has engaged in or been a party to
any "prohibited transaction" as defined in Section 4975 of the Code and
Section 406 of ERISA which could subject the Company or its Affiliates,

in Section 607(1) of ERISA) has been operated at all times in substantial

Section 401(k) of the Code, individually and in the aggregate, no event has
occurred, and to the knowledge of the Company, there exists no condition or
set of circumstances in connection with which the Company could be subject to
any liability that is reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse
Effect (except liability for benefits claims and funding obligations payable
in the ordinary course) under ERISA, the Code or any other applicable law.

position, starting employment date and annual salary. The Employee List is
correct and complete as of the date of the Employee List. No third party has
asserted any claim, or, to the knowledge of the Company, has any reasonable
basis to assert any valid claim, against the Company or its Subsidiaries that

by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any circumstances, conditions,

manufactured, sold or licensed or used or proposed for manufacture, use, sale
or licensing by the Company and its Subsidiaries infringes on any copyright,
patent, trademark, service mark or trade secret, against the use by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any trademarks, service marks, trade
names, trade secrets, copyrights, patents, technology, know-how or computer
software programs and applications used in the Company's or any of its
Subsidiaries' business as currently conducted or as proposed to be conducted
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or challenging the ownership by
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or the validity or effectiveness of
any of the Company Proprietary Rights. All material registered trademarks,
service marks and copyrights held by the Company and its Subsidiaries are
valid and subsisting. To the knowledge of the Company there is no material
unauthorized use, infringement or misappropriation of any of the Company
Proprietary Rights by any third party, including any employee or former
employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. No Company Proprietary
Right or product of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any
outstanding decree, order, judgment, or stipulation restricting in any manner
the licensing thereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Except as
set forth in Schedule 3.17, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
has entered into any agreement (other than exclusive distribution agreements)
under which the Company or its Subsidiaries are restricted from selling,
licensing or otherwise distributing any of its products to any class of
customers, in any geographic area, during any period of time or in any segment
of the market. The Company's products, packaging and documentation contain

title and ownership to the Company Proprietary Rights developed or used by the
Company and its Subsidiaries in their business. No employee, officer or
consultant of the Company and its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of
any employment or consulting contract, proprietary information and inventions
agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement
relating to the relationship of any such employee, officer or consultant with
the Company or any previous employer.

insurance and indemnity in force at the date hereof with respect to the
Company and its Subsidiaries. Such contracts of insurance and indemnity and
those shown in other Schedules to this Agreement (collectively, the "Company
Insurance Contracts") insure against such risks, and are in such amounts, as
appropriate and reasonable considering the Company and its Subsidiaries'
property, business and operations. All of the Company Insurance Contracts are
in full force and effect, with no default thereunder by the Company or its
Subsidiaries which could permit the insurer to deny payment of claims
thereunder. The Company has not received notice from any of its insurance
carriers that any insurance premiums will be materially increased in the
future or that any insurance coverage provided under the Company Insurance
Contracts will not be available in the future on substantially the same terms
as now in effect. The Company has not received or given a notice of

not false or misleading; or omit to state any material fact necessary to
correct any statement in any earlier communication with respect to the
solicitation of proxies for the Company Meeting which has become false or
misleading. The Proxy Statement will comply as to form with the provisions of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. If at any time
prior to the Effective Time any event relating to the Company or any of its
affiliates, officers or directors should be discovered by the Company which
should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement,
the Company shall promptly inform Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to any information
supplied by Parent or Merger Sub which is contained in any of the foregoing
