         CTG recorded third quarter 2000 revenue of $79.8 million, a decrease of
30.3 percent when compared to third quarter 1999 revenue of $114.5 million. 2000
year-to-date revenue of $262.3 million was a decrease of 26.4 percent from 1999
year-to-date revenue of $356.6 million. The year-to-date decrease in revenue in
2000 as compared to 1999 is due to the general softness in demand for IT
services worldwide throughout 2000, and weakness in the Euro currency.
Additionally, throughout 1999, the Company recorded revenue from the completion
of year 2000 remediation services, while similar services were not provided to
clients in 2000. However, during the 2000 third quarter, the Company experienced
an increase in demand for its services, and anticipates sequential revenue
growth in the 2000 fourth quarter. North American revenue for the third quarter
decreased by $29.7 million or 31.0 percent in 2000 as compared to 1999, while
revenue from European operations decreased by $5.0 million, or 26.8 percent in
the same time period.

         The 1999 to 2000 third quarter-to-quarter revenue decline was impacted
by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar as compared to the currencies of the
Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and Luxembourg. If there had been no
change in these foreign currency exchange rates from the third quarter of 1999
to 2000, total consolidated revenues would have been $2.4 million higher,
resulting in a quarter-to-quarter consolidated revenue decline of 28.2 percent.
This additional $2.4 million increase in revenue in Europe would have decreased
the European revenue quarter-to-quarter decline rate to 14.0 percent. On a 2000
year-to-date basis, the revenue decrease due to the change in the foreign
currency exchange rates year-over-year was $6.5 million. Absent the decline in
the rates, this additional revenue of $6.5 million would have lowered the
consolidated revenue decline to 24.6 percent, and decreased the European revenue
decline rate to 6.0 percent.

         In November 2000, the Company renewed a contract with IBM for three
years as one of IBM's national technical service providers for the United
States. In the third quarter of 2000, IBM continued to be the Company's largest
customer, accounting for $22.2 million or 27.8 percent of total revenue as
compared to $30.3 million or 26.5 percent of third quarter 1999 revenue. On a
2000 year-to-date basis, revenue from IBM was $73.3 million, or 27.9 percent of
consolidated revenue, as compared to $98.8 million, or 27.7 percent of 1999
consolidated revenue. Although revenues from IBM have been constrained in 2000,
CTG expects to continue to derive a significant portion of its revenue from IBM
throughout the remainder of 2000 and in future years. While the decline in
revenue from IBM has had an adverse effect on the Company's revenues and
profits, the Company believes a simultaneous loss of all IBM business is
unlikely to occur due to the existence of the national contract, the diversity
of the projects performed for IBM, and the number of locations and divisions
involved.

         Direct costs, defined as costs for billable staff, were 69.1 percent of
revenue in the third quarter of 2000 as compared to 65.9 percent of third
quarter 1999 revenue. On a year-to-date basis, direct costs were 71.0 percent of
revenue in 2000 as compared to 66.3 percent in 1999. The increase in direct
costs as a percentage of revenue in 2000 as compared to 1999 is primarily due to
the IT services industry spending slowdown mentioned above and the retention of
a higher percentage of non-billable staff in 2000 in anticipation of the IT
services market recovering.

         Excluding the restructuring credit taken in the third quarter of 2000,
selling, general and administrative expenses were 29.6 percent of revenue in the
third quarter of 2000 as compared to 27.9 percent of third quarter 1999 revenue.
On a year-to-date basis, excluding the restructuring charge taken in the first
quarter of 2000 that equaled 1.6 percent of consolidated revenue, selling,
general and administrative expenses were 30.0 percent of revenue in 2000, as
compared to 26.2 percent in 1999. While selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased year over year, the increase as a percentage of revenue from
1999 to 2000 is primarily due to the significant revenue decline discussed
above, and a continued strategic investment in e-business and enterprise wide
solutions.

         In the first quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a pre-tax
restructuring charge of $5.7 million. The charge primarily consisted of
severance and related costs of $4.2 million for approximately 400 employees,
costs associated with the consolidation of facilities of $0.7 million, and $0.8
million for other exit costs related to the restructuring plan. On an after-tax
basis, the restructuring charge equaled $3.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted
share.

         During the third quarter of 2000, the Company recorded, on a pre-tax
basis, a restructuring credit of $1.5 million primarily consisting of a
reduction in the estimated amount of severance and related costs to be paid. On
a year-to-date basis, the net pre-tax restructuring charge is $4.2 million,
including $2.7 million for severance and related costs, $0.7 million for the
consolidation of facilities, and $0.8 million for other exit costs. On an after
tax basis, the restructuring charge equals $3.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted
share. At September 29, 2000, approximately $0.7 million of the total charge of
$4.2 million is included in other current liabilities on the consolidated
balance sheet. The Company expects to complete its restructuring plan within the
next six months.

         Operating income (loss) was 3.2 percent of revenue in the third quarter
of 2000 compared to 6.2 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 1999, and
(2.6) percent for the 2000 year-to-date period as compared to 7.5 percent in
1999. The quarter-to-quarter and year-over-year decrease is primarily due to the
factors discussed above. On a year-to-date basis, excluding the net pre-tax
restructuring charge of $4.2 million, the operating loss from North American
operations was $4.0 million, while European operations recorded operating income
of $1.4 million.

         Interest and other expense was 0.8 percent of revenue for the three
quarters ended September 29, 2000, and 0.3 percent in the comparable 1999
period. During the three quarters ended September 29, 2000, interest expense on
indebtedness related to the acquisition of Elumen was partially offset by
interest income on available cash and temporary cash investments. In 1999, as
the acquisition of Elumen was completed in late February, the Company did not
have outstanding indebtedness for the entire year-to-date period.

         Income (loss) before income taxes was 2.2 percent of revenue in the
third quarter of 2000 as compared to 5.7 percent of revenue in the third quarter
of 1999, and (3.4) percent in the 2000 year-to-date period as compared to 7.2
percent in the comparable 1999 period. Without the non-recurring charge, income
(loss) before income taxes would have been (1.8) percent of revenue for the
three quarters ended September 29, 2000. On a year-to-date basis, the provision
(benefit) for income taxes, calculated as a percentage of income (loss) before
income taxes, was (34.9) percent in 2000 and 43.7 percent in 1999.

         Net income (loss) for the third quarter of 2000 was (0.3) percent of
revenue or $(0.1) per diluted share, compared to 3.1 percent of revenue or $0.21
per diluted share in 1999. The third quarter 2000 results included the impact of
a reversal of $1.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, of tax benefits recorded
earlier in 2000. For the 2000 year-to-date period, the net income (loss) was
(2.2) percent of revenue or $(0.36) per diluted share, as compared to net income
of 4.1 percent of revenue, or $0.87 per diluted share. Diluted earnings per
share was calculated using 16.2 million and 16.8 million equivalent shares
outstanding in 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in equivalent shares
outstanding from 1999 to 2000 is due to a reduction in the dilutive effect of
outstanding stock options.

         The Company has reviewed the guidance provided under Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, and has
determined its existing revenue recognition policies are consistent with the
guidance provided in that Bulletin.

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

         In 2000, cash provided by operating activities was $8.1 million for the
three quarters ended September 29, 2000. Net loss totaled $5.8 million, and net
non-cash adjustments for depreciation expense, amortization expense, and
deferred compensation expense (forfeitures) totaled $7.1 million. Accounts
receivable decreased $18.8 million as compared to December 31, 1999, as a result
of a decrease in revenue. Prepaid and other assets decreased $0.4 million due to
the amortization of existing assets. Accounts payable increased $1.4 million
primarily due to the timing of certain payments. Accrued compensation decreased
$7.0 million due to the timing of the U.S. biweekly payroll and fewer total
employees. Income taxes payable decreased $6.3 million due to the taxable loss
incurred throughout 2000.

         Net property and equipment increased $0.5 million. Additions to
property and equipment were $4.2 million, offset by depreciation expense of $3.5
million and translation adjustments of $0.2 million. The Company has no material
commitments for capital expenditures at September 29, 2000.

         Financing activities used $6.9 million of cash in 2000. Net payments on
long-term revolving debt totaled $7.8 million. The Company received $0.6 million
from employees for stock purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and
$1.3 million from other stock plans, inclusive of the related tax benefit.
Consistent with prior years, the Company issued a $0.05 per share dividend in
the second quarter of 2000. The dividend payment to shareholders totaled $0.8
million.

         Including unsecured lines of credit, the Company has approximately $82
million in total credit. At September 29, 2000, $23.6 million of the total
available credit was outstanding.

         On October 26, 1994, the Company authorized the repurchase of 2.0
million shares and on July 21, 1995 authorized the repurchase of another 1.4
million shares of its Common Stock. At June 30, 2000, approximately 3.2 million
shares have been repurchased under the authorizations, leaving 0.2 million
shares authorized for future purchases. No share purchases have been made in
2000.

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