                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             For the Periods Ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
                                 (UNAUDITED)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The information furnished reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of the Company, are necessary
to present fairly its consolidated financial position and the results of its
operations and changes in financial position for the periods indicated.

Reference is made to the Company's annual financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 1999, for a description of the accounting policies, which
have been continued without change. Also refer to the footnotes with those
annual statements for additional details of the Company's financial condition,
results of operations and changes in cash flows. The details in those notes have
not changed except as a result of normal transactions in the interim.

2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding without consideration of common stock equivalents.
Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common and
common equivalent shares outstanding, except the six month period ended June 30,
2000 where the effect would have been antidilutive. The calculation takes into
account the shares that may be issued upon exercise of stock options, reduced by
the shares that may be repurchased with the funds received from the exercise,
based on the average price during the year.

In accordance with SFAS No.128, the table below presents both basic and diluted
earnings per share:

4.       RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

During the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of
$6.4 million primarily related to the consolidating and closing of certain
facilities, generally used for Year 2000 and other legacy related services, as
well as attendant reduction of related staff levels. During the second quarter
of 2000 the Company recorded a restructuring credit of $2.4 million. This credit
resulted primarily from the earlier than expected subleasing of discontinued
properties that were part of the third quarter 1999 restructuring charge. The
remaining $0.4 million reserve at June 30, 2000 pertains to future costs
associated with continuing rent and severance commitments in the United States.

5.       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME/(LOSS)

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income ("SFAS No. 130"), requires that items defined as other comprehensive
income/(loss), such as foreign currency translation adjustments, be
separately classified in the financial statements and that the accumulated
balance of other comprehensive income/(loss) be reported separately from
retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the
balance sheet. The components of comprehensive income/(loss) for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 are as follows:

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
             For the Periods Ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES. Revenues decreased to $118.1 million in the second quarter of 2000
from $142.9 million in the second quarter of 1999, a decrease of $24.8
million or 17.4%. The E-Solutions Group increased to $40.4 million in the
second quarter of 2000 from $27.3 million in the second quarter of 1999, an
increase of $13.1 million or 48.0%. IT Services revenues, including Year 2000
revenues, decreased to $77.7 million in the second quarter of 2000 from
$115.6 million in the second quarter of 1999, a decrease of $37.9 million or
32.8%. Year 2000 services revenues accounted for $15.0 million of the
decline. As anticipated, the decline in Year 2000 business is reflective of
the completion of code remediation assignments for major customers. The
remaining decrease in IT Services revenue of $22.9 million is primarily
attributed to the current softness in the IT Staffing business. This softness
is the result of spending shifts of customers from legacy environments to
e-business initiatives.

Revenues decreased to $232.4 million in the first six months of 2000 from $281.0
million in the first six months of 1999, a decrease of $48.6 million or 17.3%.
The E-Solutions Group increased to $75.3 million in the first six months of 2000
from $47.5 million in the first six months of 1999, an increase of $27.8 million
or 58.5%. IT Services, including Year 2000 revenues, decreased to $157.1 million
in the first six months of 2000 from $233.5 million in the comparable 1999
period, a decrease of $76.4 million or 32.7%. Year 2000 revenues decreased $32.4
million from $32.8 million in the first six months of 1999 to $0.4 million in
the first six months of 2000. IT Services revenues, excluding Year 2000
services, decreased to $156.7 million in the first half of 2000 from $200.7
million in the first half of 1999, a decrease of $44.1 million. The decrease
in IT Services revenues, excluding Year 2000, results from the factors
described above.

DIRECT COSTS. Direct costs decreased to $79.6 and $162.6 million in the
second quarter and first half of 2000, respectively, from $95.8 and $186.6
million in the comparable periods of 1999. Gross margin decreased to 32.6%
and 30.0% in the second quarter and first six months of 2000, respectively,
from 32.9% and 33.6% in the same periods of 1999. The slight decrease of 0.3%
in gross margin during the second quarter of 2000 is the net result of lower
margins in IT Services because of decreased Year 2000 work offset by improved
margins in the E-Solutions group led by the products division. The decrease
in gross margin for the first half of 2000 was primarily due to a decrease in
the Company's higher margin Year 2000 business. The Company's margins are
subject to fluctuations due to a number of factors, including the level of
salary and other compensation necessary to attract and retain qualified
technical personnel.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
expenses (excluding the restructuring credit) increased to $36.5 and $69.7
million in the second quarter and first half of 2000, respectively, from $33.2
and $63.1 million in the comparable 1999 periods. As a percentage of revenues,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 30.9% and 30.0% of
revenues in the second quarter and first six months of 2000 from 23.2% and 22.5%
of revenues in the comparable periods of 1999. During the second quarter of 2000
the Company recorded a restructuring credit to reverse $2.4 million of the
restructuring charge recorded in the third quarter of 1999, leaving
approximately $0.4 million of the original reserve relating to future costs
associated with continuing rent and severance commitments in the United States.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
             For the Periods Ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. Operating margins, excluding the restructuring credit in
2000, decreased to 0.3% and a loss of 1.4% in the second quarter and first half
of 2000, respectively, from a profit of 8.7% and 10.2% in the comparable 1999
periods. This decrease was primarily due to the Y2K revenue decline and its
related impact on the buying habits of our customers, along with investments in
the E-Solutions business in 2000. The Company's business is labor-intensive and,
as such, is sensitive to inflationary trends. This sensitivity applies to client
billing rates, as well as to payroll costs.

OTHER INCOME/(EXPENSE). Other income / (expense) decreased to $(0.3) million and
$(0.6) million in the second quarter and first half of 2000, respectively,
compared to other income of $0.1 million and $0.4 million in the same periods of
1999. This decrease in other income was primarily the result of decreased
interest income.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The effective tax rates for Federal, state and local
income taxes was 43.0% for both the second quarter and first half of 2000. For
the comparable 1999 periods, the rate was 42.0% and 42.3%.

NET INCOME/(LOSS). Net income for the second quarter of 2000 was $1.4
million, or $0.04 earnings per diluted share, compared to net income of $7.2
million, or $0.23 earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 1999,
a decrease of $5.8 million. For the first half of 2000, the net loss was $0.9
million, or $0.03 loss per diluted share, compared to net income of $16.8

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

At June 30, 2000, the Company had $129.4 million in working capital, of which
$16.2 million was cash and cash equivalents. There was $19.0 million in
borrowings outstanding against the Company's bank lines of credit.

Net cash used by operating activities in the first six months of 2000 was $1.8
million, consisting primarily of a decrease in accrued payroll and the net loss
for the first half of the year. During the first six months of 1999, net cash
used in operating activities was $24.3 million, consisting primarily of an
increase in accounts receivable, offset in part by net income. The significant
increase in accounts receivable during the first six months of 1999 was
primarily attributable to delays in billing to customers, resulting from the
implementation of an enterprise-wide information system.

Net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2000 was $0.9
million, consisting of purchases of equipment. During the first six months of
1999, cash used in investing activities was $13.9 million, consisting primarily
of the funds used for the acquisitions of the assets of SELECT Software Tools
plc and Integrated Computer Management.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.9 million for the first six
months of 2000, primarily consisting of stock options exercised. For the
first six months of 1999, net cash provided by financing activities was $6.0
million, consisting primarily of borrowings against the Company's line of
credit offset in part by the Company's repurchase of approximately 1,015,000
shares of its common stock.
