RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

         This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations ("MD&A") contains certain forward-looking statements.  In
addition, the Company or its representatives from time to time may make, or may
have made, forward-looking statements, orally or in writing, including, without
limitation, in the MD&A contained in other filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  The Company wishes to ensure that such forward-looking
statements are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements so as to ensure
to the fullest extent possible the protections of the safe harbor established
by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Accordingly, such
forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company are qualified
in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the discussion in
this Form 10-Q and in documents incorporated by reference herein of important
factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from
those projected in such forward-looking statements.

         REVENUES

         Services and products revenues ("S&P revenues") increased 22% during
the second quarter and 28% for the first six months of 1996, compared to the
same 1995 periods, with growth occurring, in both the quarter and the half, in
all of the Company's target markets. The Company expects continued substantial
growth for the remainder of the year, at rates of increase comparable to that
experienced in the second quarter.

         Business with non-US clients increased 63% (to $65.5 million) during
the second quarter and 74% (to $127.3 million) for the first half of 1996,
compared to the same 1995 periods.  This increase accounted for approximately
81% and 74% of the total S&P revenue increase of the Company in the second
quarter and first half, respectively.  Business with European clients, which
has dominated the rise in non-US business, increased 83% (to $57.2 million) for
the quarter and 94% (to $111.6 million) for the first half, with revenues from
Telecommunications Firms being the principal factor.  For the year as a whole,
the Company expects the rate of increase in non-US business, and European
business in particular, to be somewhat lower than the rates of increase
realized in the second quarter of 1996.

         In the Telecommunications Firms target market, S&P revenues increased
31% and 40% in the second quarter and first half, respectively, compared to the
same 1995 periods.  The majority of this increase is attributable to business
with non-US clients, which increased 72% during the second quarter of 1996 (to
$51.9 million) and 87% for the first half of 1996 (to $101.3 million).
Business in this market is characterized by very large projects, with
relatively few clients.  For all of 1996,  the Company expects the growth in
this market to be greater than the Company's overall growth, but will not
continue at the rate of growth shown through the first half.

         In the Financial Services Institutions target market, S&P revenues
increased 26% in the second quarter, and 30% in the first half, over the
comparable 1995 periods, owing principally to build-ups in business with
clients who started large projects in early 1996 or in the second half of 1995.
Business with non-US clients, which increased 36% (to $12.4 million) in the
second quarter and 43% (to $23.6 million) in the first half, now accounts for
approximately 30% of the revenues in this market.  The Company expects S&P
revenue growth in this market for the year to increase at rates in line with
the Company's overall revenue growth.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-REVENUES (Continued)

         In the State and Local Governments and Education target market, second
quarter S&P revenues increased 19% while first half S&P revenues increased 28%,
compared to the same 1995 periods. The increases have been fueled by several
large contracts with state taxation departments who are looking to make
substantial improvements in their ability to collect delinquent taxes.  The
Company expects S&P revenues in the State and Local Governments and Education
target market to increase for all of 1996, at rates commensurate with the
increase in the Company's overall S&P revenues.

         S&P revenues in the Federal Government Agencies target market
increased 10% in both the second quarter and the first six months of 1996. The
Company expects S&P revenues in this target market, for all of 1996, to
increase, but at rates below the Company's overall growth in S&P revenues.

         S&P revenues from Other Corporate Clients increased 5% during the
second quarter and 7% during the first half, compared to the same 1995 periods.
S&P revenues from this market, which represents business not covered by the
Company's other markets, for all of 1996, is expected to increase, but at rates
below the Company's overall growth in S&P revenues.

         EXPENSES

         Client project expenses and other operating expenses combined
increased 19% during the second quarter of 1996 and 26% for the first half,
which are approximately the same rates as the S&P revenue growth rate.  For
1996 as a whole, the Company anticipates that these expenses will continue to
be in line with the revenue growth.

         Corporate expenses increased 29% and 24% during the second quarter and
first half of 1996, respectively.  While some expenses, such as corporate
sponsored technology, recruiting, and training programs, increased at rates
greater than the increase in revenues, other expenses, such as corporate
management, corporate level performance-based compensation, and other corporate
activities, grew at rates slower than the revenue increase.

         INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

         Income from operations increased 28% and 35% for the second quarter
and first half, respectively, compared to the same 1995 periods.  This rate of
increase was greater than the S&P revenue increase.  For  the year as a whole
the Company expects profit margins to improve over 1995.

         OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE

         Interest expense increased 107% in the second quarter and 95% in the
first half because of interest payments on additional debt incurred by the
Company during the prior year and first half of 1996.  Other income decreased
50% during the second quarter and 21% during the first half, when compared to
1995, due primarily to lower levels of investments.

<PAGE>   13
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE

         Approximately 34% of the Company's total S&P revenues in the first
half of 1996 were derived from non-US business.  The Company's practice is to
negotiate contracts in the same currency in which the predominant expenses are
incurred, thereby mitigating the exposure to foreign currency exchange
fluctuations.  It is not possible to accomplish this in all cases, and the
Company does take some risk that profits will be adversely affected by foreign
currency exchange fluctuations.  However, these risks may be mitigated to the
extent the Company:  1) successfully negotiates short-term contracts of one
year or less, or 2) negotiates provisions that allow pricing adjustments
related to currency fluctuations.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company historically has provided for its operating cash
requirements primarily through funds generated from operations, using bank
borrowings primarily for cash and currency management with respect to the short
term impact of certain cyclical uses such as annual payments of incentive
compensation.  At June 30, 1996, the Company's cash and cash equivalents
totaled $13.2 million, down from $35.8 million at the end of 1995.  Cash used
in operating activities was $33.1 million, due primarily to increases in
accounts receivable and payments made in the first quarter of the year for
incentive compensation and other employee benefits.  In the past several
quarters, the Company's accounts receivable has been increasing more rapidly
than increases in revenues.  During the second quarter of 1996, the Company
reviewed closely its receivables balances, and emphasized collection efforts.
As a result, during the month of July, collections were significantly greater
than in prior months.  These efforts are continuing.  Also, while the Company
continued, during the first half of 1996, to experience delays in collecting
accounts receivable related to subcontract work with a prime contractor in the
child support enforcement business and a receivable related to a contract with
a foreign government which is experiencing continued cash flow problems, the
Company continued to receive payments from each of these clients during this
period and expects to receive all funds due from each of them.

         The Company's cash flows used in investing activities were
approximately $18.3 million, primarily for fixed assets and software purchases,
and computer software development during the half.   During the first half of
1996, the Company borrowed $28.7 million under the Company's revolving line of
credit facilities with U.S. banks, increasing the total borrowed under such
lines of credit to $45.0 million at June 30, 1996. During the first half, the
Company made approximately $3.4 million in installment payments of principal on
outstanding debt owed to banks; the Company also received approximately $3.7
million during the period from the exercise of stock options.

         At June 30, 1996, the Company's debt-equity ratio, as measured by
total liabilities divided by common stockholders' equity, was 0.90, down from
0.92 at December 31, 1995.

        The Company's material unused source of liquidity at the end of the
second quarter of 1996 consisted of approximately $24 million under its
revolving lines of credit. During the second quarter of 1996, the Company
increased its borrowing limit under its multi-currency line of credit facility
to $40 million, and under its US dollar facility to $30 million, which raised
the aggregate borrowing capacity, under line of credit facilities, to $70
million.  One of these committed lines of credit expires by its terms at the
end of 1996.  Consequently, the Company is presently negotiating with various
financial institutions to renew or replace both of these lines of credit.  The
Company expects to increase its aggregate borrowing capacity above its current
$70 million limit through new multi-year replacement credit facilities.  The
Company believes that its liquidity needs can be met from the various sources
described above.

                          PART II   OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

           As reported in AMS's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995
and filed April 1, 1996, Andersen Consulting LLP ("Andersen") sued AMS on July
20, 1995, claiming copyright infringement and appropriation of trade secrets,
and seeking injunctive relief as well as damages.  On August 25, 1995, the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in which
the suit is pending, denied Andersen's request for a preliminary injunction.

           AMS vigorously contested Andersen's claims.  On August 30, 1995, AMS
served its answer together with counterclaims against Andersen.  In its answer,
AMS denied any liability to Andersen.  AMS claimed no trade secret protection
exists in the concepts cited by Andersen and that AMS had utilized no
confidential information of Andersen.  In its counterclaim, AMS alleged that
Andersen had defamed AMS and had attempted to interfere with AMS's contracts
and opportunities by disseminating false statements regarding AMS.  On April
29, 1996, AMS amended its answer and counterclaim to add additional
counterclaims against Andersen for trade secret misappropriation and unfair
competition.

           On June 28, 1996, AMS and Andersen settled their disputes.  On July
8, 1996, the parties filed with the Court a notice of dismissal with prejudice
of all claims and counterclaims.
