NOTE 1 - PRESENTATION:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Butler
International, Inc. ("the Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain
amounts from prior period consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform
with the current period presentation.

The accompanying financial statements are unaudited, but, in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring accruals,
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows at March 31, 1998 and for all periods presented.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, this report should be read in
conjunction with the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE:

As required, in the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company adopted the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share". The standard specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure
requirements for earnings per share. The following table presents the
computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share as required by SFAS
No. 128 (in thousands, except share data).

NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK:

During the first quarter of 1998, the Company issued 64,666 shares of common
stock upon the exercise of common stock options and purchase warrants and
retired 2,146 shares of common stock.

NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES:

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings and
claims incidental to its normal business operations for which no material
liability is expected beyond that which is recorded. While the ultimate
resolution of these

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
matters is not known, management does not expect that the resolution of such
matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
statements and results of operations.

NOTE 5 - ACQUISITIONS:

On March 3, 1998, the Company acquired the operations of Argos Adriatic
Corporation ("Argos"), a Silicon Valley information technology ("IT") company
headquartered in Fremont, CA. The purchase price includes $5.1 million paid in
cash ($4.1 million charged against the Company's acquisition line and $1.0
million against the revolving credit facility), plus a contingent payout to be
paid over three years based on the future earnings of Argos in excess of certain
annual thresholds. Argos provides a variety of IT support services to a wide
range of clients in Northern California, and generates approximately $10 million
in annual revenues. Argos currently has a staff of approximately 90 full-time
employees. Argos' President and its Chief Operating Officer will continue to
manage the business.

On April 1, 1998, the Company acquired the operations of Norwood Computer
Services, Inc. ("Norwood") an IT services company headquartered in Hicksville,
NY. The purchase price includes $8.4 million paid in cash ($6.7 million drawn
down on the acquisition line and $1.7 charged to the revolving credit facility),
plus a contingent payout to be paid over three years based on the future
earnings of Norwood in excess of certain annual thresholds. Norwood has been
serving a wide range of mid-sized and Fortune 500 companies in the New York
metropolitan area since 1978 and currently generates approximately $17 million
in annual revenues through a staff of approximately 120 consultants. This
acquisition is not included in the financial statements as of March 31, 1998.

Pro forma results for the Company, assuming the above acquisitions had been made
at the beginning of each period presented, would not be materially different
from the results reported.

NOTE 6 - RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:

In June of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which requires comprehensive income to be
included in the financial statements for fiscal years beginning December 15,
1997 and SFAS 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information", which requires disclosures of certain information about operating
segments and about products and services, the geographic areas in which a
company operates, and their major customers. The Company has adopted both
standards in 1998. Comprehensive income is defined as total change in
stockholders equity during the period, other than from transactions with
shareholders. For the Company, comprehensive income is comprised of net income
and the net change in cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, which
was an increase of $35,000 and a decrease of $91,000 for the quarters ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Total comprehensive income for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was $1,264,000 and $750,000, respectively.
As required by SFAS 131, the Company will begin reporting under the standard in
the 1998 annual report.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND 
        -----------------------------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Net income for the first quarter of 1998 increased by 46% to $1.2 million, up
from $841,000 reported in the first quarter of 1997. Diluted earnings per share
were $.16 in 1998, compared with $.11 in the 1997 first quarter. Revenues for
the 1998 quarter were $106.7 million, compared with $104.7 million recorded in
the first quarter of 1997.

Improved business mix and decreased interest expense were the driving forces of
the increased earnings. Gross margins in the first quarter of 1998 were 17.1%
versus 14.9% last year. Continued growth of the Technology Solutions, 
Telecommunications Services and Fleet Services operations contributed strongly 
to the quarter-on-quarter improvement of gross margins due to the relatively 
higher margins of these businesses. The decrease in interest cost was
principally due to reduced borrowings under the revolving credit facility
throughout the quarter.

Revenue in the Company's higher margin Technology Solutions and
Telecommunications Services units grew at rates of 48% and 16%,
respectively, while revenues from the lower margin Contract Technical Services
business declined by an expected 11% from last year, resulting in an overall
revenue growth of 2%.

As part of the Company's initiative to expand its higher margin businesses, it
acquired two information technology ("IT") companies in the early part of 1998.

On March 3, 1998, the Company acquired the operations of Argos Adriatic
Corporation ("Argos"), a Silicon Valley IT company headquartered in Fremont, CA.
Argos provides a variety of IT support services to a wide range of clients in
Northern California, and generates approximately $10 million in annual revenues.
Its service offerings include software consulting, project management and
software related training. Argos' value to its customers is enhanced by its
expertise in the offshore recruiting of experienced IT professionals. Argos
currently has a staff of approximately 90 full-time employees.

On April 1, 1998, the Company acquired the operations of Norwood Computer
Services, Inc. ("Norwood") an IT services company headquartered in Hicksville,
NY. Norwood has been serving a wide range of mid-sized and Fortune 500 companies
in the New York metropolitan area since 1978 and currently generates
approximately $17 million in annual revenues through a staff of approximately
120 consultants. Its service offerings include IT staffing as well as software
and application consulting. The Company will now have four key branch locations
serving this market.

Information contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition, other than historical information, may be
considered forward-looking in nature, as such it is based upon certain
assumptions and is subject to various risks and uncertainties, which may not be
controllable by the Company. To the extent that these assumptions prove to be
incorrect, or should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, the actual
results may vary materially from those which were anticipated.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

The Company's primary sources of funds are generated from operations and
borrowings under its Credit Facility. As of March 31, 1998, $17.9 million was
outstanding under the Credit Facility, and an additional $5.5 million was used
to collateralize letters of credit. Proceeds from the Credit Facility are used
by the Company to finance its internal business growth, working capital, capital
expenditures and acquisitions.

                                       8

Continued earnings and improved controls over the Company's investment in its
accounts receivable continue to yield results as reflected in the decrease in
the borrowings under its Credit Facility to $17.9 million at March 31, 1998,
down from $28.9 million at March 31, 1997.

The Company's revolving Credit facility with General Electric Capital
Corporation ("GECC") provides up to $50.0 million in loans, including $9.0
million for letters of credit. The interest rate in effect at the end of the
first quarter of 1998 was 200 basis points above the 30 day commercial paper
rate. Interest reductions are available based upon the Company achieving certain
financial results. The interest rate in effect on March 31, 1998, was 7.53%. As
of March 31, 1998, $17.9 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, and
an additional $5.5 million was used to collateralize letters of credit. The
Company has guaranteed all obligations incurred or created under the Credit
Facility. The Company is required to comply with certain affirmative and
financial covenants. The Company is in compliance with the aforementioned
covenants as amended.

In addition to the revolving Credit Facility, the Company has a $15.0 million
acquisition line of credit with GECC which bears interest at 300 basis points
above the 30 day commercial paper rate. The interest rate in effect on March 31,
1998, was 8.53%. The outstanding balance of the acquisition line at March 31,
1998, was $4.1 million. On April 1, 1998, an additional $6.7 million was drawn
down on the acquisition line for the Norwood acquisition (see Note 5).

Absent an acquisition requiring funds in excess of its existing acquisition line
of credit, the Company believes that its operating cash flow and credit
facilities will provide sufficient liquidity for at least the next twelve
months.

In November 1997, the Company closed on a 7 year mortgage for its corporate
office facility. The mortgage consists of a $6.4 million loan that is repayable
based upon a 15 year amortization schedule and a $375,000 loan that is repayable
based on a 4 year schedule. The variable interest rate on these loans is one
month Libor plus 225 basis points. The Company entered into an interest rate
swap agreement with its mortgage holder. The Company makes monthly interest
payments at the fixed rates of 8.6% and 8.42% on the $6.4 million and $375,000
loans, respectively. The Company receives payments based upon the one month
Libor plus 225 basis points. The net gain or loss from the exchange of interest
rate payments is included in interest expense.
