ITEM 2.                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
           FOR THE QUARTER AND THREE QUARTERS ENDED SEPTEMBER 26, 1997




         Statements included in this Management's Discussion and Analysis and
elsewhere in this document that do not relate to present or historical
conditions are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of that term in
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in Section 21F of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Additional oral or written
forward-looking statements may be made by the Company from time to time, and
such statements may be included in documents that are filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause results or outcomes to differ materially from
those expressed in such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
may include, without limitation, statements relating to the Company's plans,
strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions and are intended to be made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "believes," "forecasts," "intends,"
"possible," "expects," "estimates," "anticipates," or "plans" and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Among the
important factors on which such statements are based are assumptions concerning
the anticipated growth of the information technology industry, the continued
needs of current and prospective customers for the Company's services, the
availability of qualified professional staff, and price and wage inflation.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

         CTG recorded third quarter 1997 revenue of $101.1 million, the highest
in the Company's history, and an increase of 13.1 percent when compared to third
quarter 1996 revenue of $89.4 million. CTG recorded year-to-date revenue of
$296.2 million, an increase of 9.4 percent when compared to 1996 year-to-date
revenue of $270.7 million. For the third quarter, North American revenue
increased by $10.7 million or 13.5 percent in 1997 as compared to 1996, while
revenue from European operations increased by $1.0 million, or 9.8 percent. The
increases were primarily due to bill rate increases and additional billable
personnel in 1997 as compared to 1996. The increase in Europe was partially
offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange fluctuations during the quarter.

         During the third quarter of 1997, the Company continued the
implementation of its Key Client strategy. As a result, quarterly revenue from
IBM, the Company's largest customer, increased by $9 million from 1996 to 1997.
Revenue from the Company's Key Clients, which includes revenue from IBM, grew at
a rate in excess of 20% during the third quarter of 1997 as compared to the
third quarter of 1996. As part of the strategy, the Company continued to
disengage from non-strategic customers, causing those not designated as Key
Clients to post a negative revenue growth rate during the quarter. Accordingly,
the continued implementation of CTG's Key Client strategy in the third quarter
of 1997 resulted in positive revenue growth for Key Clients, negative revenue
growth for non-Key Clients, and higher overall profitability.

         In the third quarter of 1995, CTG was awarded a two-year contract as
one of IBM's nine national technical service providers for the United States.
This contract expires on November 30, 1997, and the Company anticipates renewal
of the contract for two additional years. IBM continues to be the Company's
largest customer, accounting for $35.8 million or 35.4 percent of third quarter
1997 revenue as compared to $26.8 million or 30 percent of third quarter 1996
revenue. The Company expects to continue to derive a significant portion of its
revenue from IBM throughout the remainder of 1997. While a significant decline
in revenue from IBM would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
revenues and profits, the Company believes a simultaneous loss of all IBM
business is unlikely to occur 


                                       6
<PAGE>   7

due to the significant number of contracts under which the Company does business
with IBM, the diversity of the projects performed and the number of locations
and divisions involved.

         Direct costs, defined as costs for billable staff, were $70.9 million
or 70.1 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 1997 as compared to $63.3
million or 70.8 percent of third quarter 1996 revenue. Direct costs for the 1997
year-to-date period were 70.8 percent of revenue, as compared to 71.6 percent
for the 1996 year-to-date period. The decrease in direct costs as a percentage
of revenue in 1997 as compared to 1996 is primarily due to a trend toward CTG
providing higher value added managed support services to key clients and an 
increase in billing rates.

         Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $22.7 million
or 22.5 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 1997 as compared to $21.3
million or 23.8 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 1996. SG&A expenses
for the 1997 year-to-date period were 22.2 percent of revenue, as compared to
23.5 percent for the 1996 year-to-date period. The decrease as a percentage of
revenue from 1996 to 1997 is primarily due to an ongoing effort to reduce
overhead costs as a percentage of revenue.

         Operating income was $7.5 million or 7.4 percent of revenue in the
third quarter of 1997 compared to $4.9 million or 5.4 percent of revenue in the
third quarter of 1996. Operating income was $20.6 million or 7.0 percent of
year-to-date 1997 revenue compared to $13.2 million or 4.9 percent of
year-to-date 1996 revenue. The increase is primarily due to additional revenue
in 1997 as compared to 1996 and the other factors discussed above. Operating
income from North American operations for the third quarter increased $2.5
million or 61.6 percent from 1996 to 1997. Europe recorded operating income of
$.9 and $.8 million in the third quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively.

         Interest and other income increased $0.4 million to $0.6 in the third
quarter of 1997 from $0.2 million in the third quarter of 1996. The increase was
a result of higher cash and temporary cash investment balances in 1997 as
compared to 1996.

         Income before income taxes increased by $3 million from $5 million or
5.6 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 1996 to $8 million or 7.9 percent
of third quarter revenue in 1997, and by $8.7 million from $13.1 million or 4.8
percent of year-to-date 1996 revenue to $21.8 million or 7.4 percent of
year-to-date 1997 revenue. The provision for income taxes was 41 percent for the
year-to-date period in 1997 and 40 percent for the year-to-date period in 1996.
The increase in the tax rate is due to additional taxable income in 1997 which
is subject to higher tax rates, as compared to 1996.

         Net income for the third quarter of 1997 was $4.7 million or $0.26 per
share, compared to $3.0 million or $0.17 per share in 1996. Net income for the
1997 year-to-date period was $12.9 million or $.71 per share, compared to $7.9
million or $0.45 per share. Earnings per share for the third quarter was
calculated using 18.1 million and 17.7 million common equivalent shares
outstanding in 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase in equivalent shares
outstanding is primarily due to the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options
on the earnings per share calculation and shares issued under the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan, offset by stock purchased by the Stock Employee Compensation
Trust.

         During 1997, the Company will adopt the provision of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Management
believes the adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on the
operations of the Company.


Financial Condition
- -------------------

         Cash provided by operations was $17.3 million for the first three
quarters of 1997. Net income totaled $12.9 million, and non-cash adjustments for
depreciation and amortization expense and deferred compensation expense totaled
$4.3 million. Accounts receivable increased $9.5 million as compared to December
31, 1996, as a result of an increase in revenue. Prepaid assets increased $0.4
million due to the 


                                       7
<PAGE>   8

prepayment of items that will be expensed throughout the remainder of 1997.
Accounts payable increased $4.6 million due to the timing of certain payments.
Accrued compensation and other current liabilities increased $7.8 million due to
the timing of the Company's U.S. bi-weekly payroll. Advance billings on
contracts decreased $1.4 million due to the mix of contracts outstanding at
September 26, 1997 compared to December 31, 1996.

         Net property and equipment decreased $0.3 million. Additions to
property and equipment were $3.0 million offset by depreciation of $3.3 million.
The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures at September
26, 1997. Net acquired intangibles decreased $1.0 million, caused by
amortization of $0.6 million and $0.4 million in translation adjustments.

         Financing activities used $6.6 million of cash in the first three
quarters of 1997. The Company's Stock Employee Compensation Trust purchased
457,300 shares of stock for $10.2 million, and the Company paid an annual
dividend of $837,000 to shareholders on a $0.05 per share basis. During the
first three quarters of 1997, the Company received $0.8 million from employees
for 22,000 shares of stock purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The
Company also received $2.8 million for the exercise of stock options. At
September 26, 1997, the Company's current ratio is 2.4 to 1.

         During the second quarter of 1997, CTG's Board of Directors authorized
a 2-for-1 stock split, effective June 2, 1997 to shareholders of record as of
May 19, 1997. Common equivalent shares outstanding and net income per share for
1996, and authorizations to repurchase shares, have been restated to reflect
this stock split.

         The Company has approximately $53.5 million in aggregate lines of
credit, which are renewable annually at various times throughout the year.

         On October 26, 1994, the Company authorized the repurchase of two
million shares and on July 21, 1995 authorized the repurchase of another 1.4
million shares of its Common Stock. At September 26, 1997, approximately 1.6
million shares have been repurchased under the authorizations, leaving 1.8
million shares authorized for future purchases. During October 1997, subsequent
to the end of the third quarter, the Company repurchased an additional 300,000
shares, leaving 1.5 million shares authorized for future purchases.

         The Company believes existing internally available funds, cash
generated by operations, and borrowings will be sufficient to meet foreseeable
working capital, stock repurchase and capital expenditure requirements and to
allow for future internal growth and expansion.
