INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Trustees
Butler Service Group, Inc.
401(k) Plan
Montvale, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Butler Service Group, Inc. 401(k) Plan ("the Plan") as of December 31,
1997 and 1996, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of (1) assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1997 and (2) reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1997 are presented for the purpose
of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These schedules are the responsibility
of the Plan's management. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic 1997 financial statements and, in
our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting and are presented in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
Certificates of deposit are stated at face value. US Government obligations
and equity investments are stated at fair value as determined by quoted market
prices. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
B. PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following description provides general information, refer to the plan
document for a more detailed description.
On July 1, 1990, Butler Service Group, Inc. ("the Company") established a
401(K) Plan which was adopted by its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The 401(K) Plan
is a continuation of the Butler Service Group, Inc. Investment Savings Plan and
is designed to provide an incentive for employees of the Company to save
regularly through payroll deductions and possible matching contributions by the
Company. Effective January 1, 1992, all employees were eligible to participate
in the Butler Service Group, Inc. 401(K) Plan.
There are seven investment funds offered under the 401(K) Plan - the Fixed
Income Fund, which invests primarily in FDIC insured certificates of deposit and
money market funds, the Small to Mid-Cap Equity Fund, which invests in a
diversified common stock portfolio of representative industries and
corporations, primarily small to mid-capitalization in size, the Mid to Large-
Cap Equity Fund, which invests in a diversified common stock portfolio of growth
companies, primarily large and medium capitalization, the Enhanced Large-Cap
Index Fund, which maintains industry and sector weightings similar to the S&P
500 Index, but seeks to enhance returns with fewer, but stronger stocks within
the various sectors, the Butler International ("BI") Stock Fund which is a
qualified employer security under ERISA, the Balanced Fund, which invests 60 to
65% in equities and 35 to 40% in government bonds and cash equivalents, and the
International Fund which generally invests in securities of foreign issuers
located in Europe, the Pacific Rim, Canada and Central and South America.
A participant in the 401(K) Plan has the choice of saving on a before-tax
basis, by payroll deduction, any amount from 1% to 20% (in whole percentages) of
total payroll each payroll period, an "elective deferral contribution." By law,
the elective deferral contribution, per participant, under this Plan and all
similar plans is limited during any calendar year. In addition, the elective
deferral contribution for a highly compensated employee (an employee earning
over $80,000 for 1997), during the year relative to the elective deferral
contributions of other participants of the Plan could exceed the amount
permitted by law. Should this occur, the elective deferral contributions of the
highly compensated employees may be reduced during the Plan year to the extent
necessary to satisfy the legal limitation or any excess deferral contributions
may be recharacterized or refunded after the end of the Plan year. Refunds to
highly compensated employees for the Plan years 1997 and 1996 were $293,132 and
$1,061,532, respectively.
A participant may allocate a specified percentage of the contribution in any
or all of the seven funds in multiples of 10%.
The Company is not required to make any contributions to the Plan, but the
Company may decide, at its sole discretion, to make a matching contribution for
a Plan year. For any Plan year that the Company decides to make a matching or
partial contribution, it will deposit in the BI Stock Fund an amount which will
be allocated in proportion to the elective deferral contributions made by the
Plan participants for that Plan year. In 1997 and 1996 the Company made
contributions of $1,073,892 and $878,691, respectively, to the Plan in
accordance with a customer contract, which was funded by the customer. In 1997,
the Company made matching contributions of approximately $328,000.

<PAGE>
Each participant is permitted to change the elective deferral contribution
rate by completing the Change in Status Form and filing it with the Plan's
Administrative Committee. The elective deferral contribution rate is adjusted
after the Committee receives and processes the Change in Status Form.
A participant may fully discontinue the elective deferral contribution as of
the first day of any month by written notice to the Plan's Administrative
Committee at least fifteen days before the date on which the discontinuance is
to take effect. A discontinuance of the elective deferral contribution is only
permitted once during any Plan year and will automatically require the
discontinuance of any Company matching contributions to the Matching
Contribution Account. The elective deferral contribution may be resumed as of
any January, April, July, or October 1 by written notice to the Committee at
least fifteen days before a participant intends for the contributions to be
resumed.
Participants may withdraw funds while employed only from accounts in which
they are fully vested after attaining age 59 1/2. Prior to attaining age 59 1/2
a withdrawal may be made for financial hardship. Only one withdrawal may be
requested during any Plan year for reasons other than financial hardship. The
minimum amount available for a withdrawal is $500. If the participant has an
outstanding loan, the amount of funds available for withdrawal may be limited.
Withdrawals may be made as of any January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1 from
any of the funds in which the participant's accounts are invested. A
participant will have a 100% vested interest in all accounts upon retirement at
or after age 65, in the event of a permanent disability or in the event of death
prior to termination of employment. Upon termination of employment, the value
of the vested accounts will be paid in a lump sum. After completing three years
of service with the Company, a participant is entitled to the full value of the
Matching Contribution Account, if any.
Participants may borrow up to 50% of the vested portion of their account
balance, subject to a maximum of $50,000. Only one loan will be granted at a
time and must be repaid in full before another loan can be requested. The
minimum loan amount is $1,000. Loans are subject to an interest rate based on
the rate charged, as of the date the loan is granted, by the Company's principal
banking institution for loans granted under similar circumstances. Loans must
be repaid within such period as agreed to by the participant and the Plan's
administrative committee, up to a maximum of five years. However, if the loan
is made for the purchase or construction of the participants principal place of
residence, the repayment period may be longer than five years. Repayments will
normally be made through payroll deductions.
Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, in the event the
Plan is terminated, all participants will be 100% vested in all their accounts
and benefits will be payable strictly under the terms of the Plan. Benefits
under defined contribution plans of the 401(K) type are not insured by the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

D. BENEFITS PAYABLE
The amounts payable to the Plan participants who have terminated or withdrawn
from the plan were $1,273,758 and $562,916 at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
E. TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has determined that the Plan is a qualified plan
under Section 401(a) of the Code with an associated trust exempt from tax under
Section 501(a). The most recent favorable letter of determination on the
qualified status of the Plan was issued by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
on April 22, 1996. The Plan sponsor and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the
Plan as currently designed and operated is in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, there is no provision for
income taxes in the financial statements.
F. ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN ASSETS
Through June 1998, contributions were held and managed by PaineWebber, Inc.
("the trustee"), which invests cash received, interest and dividend income and
makes distributions to participants. The trustee also administers the payment
of interest and principal on the participant loans. Effective June 1998, the
Plan trustee was changed to the Prudential Bank and Trust Company.
Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of the
Company. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan.
Certain plan administration expenses are borne by the Plan.
