                             BDM INTERNATIONAL, INC.
            NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (UNAUDITED)



(1)      General
         -------

         The accompanying  financial  statements of BDM International,  Inc. and
its  subsidiaries  (BDM or the  Company)  as of March 31,  1997 and for  interim
periods  ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,  are  unaudited  and have been  prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The balance  sheet data as of December 31, 1996,  was derived from the Company's
audited financial statements. Certain other information and disclosures included
in the  Company's  annual  financial  statements  prepared  in  accordance  with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to the above  referenced  rules and  regulations.  It is  suggested  that  these
financial  statements be read in  conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial
statements and the notes thereto  included in the Company's latest annual report
to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.

         The  accompanying   consolidated   financial   statements  reflect  all
adjustments  and  reclassifications  that,  in the  opinion of  management,  are
necessary for a fair  presentation.  All such adjustments and  reclassifications
have been  deemed to be of a  recurring  nature,  except  as  described  in this
report.


(2)      Income Taxes
         ------------

         The Company uses the estimated annual effective rate method for interim
income tax purposes.  The difference  between the combined statutory federal and
state income tax rate of 42% and the Company's  actual effective income tax rate
of 43% for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1997 and  1996,  is  primarily
attributable to goodwill amortization which is not deductible for federal income
tax purposes, thus resulting in the higher effective tax rate.


(3)      Earnings Per Share
         ------------------

         Net  income  per common  share is net  income  divided by the  weighted
average number of common shares and common share equivalents  outstanding during
the period.  The Company's  common share  equivalents  consist entirely of stock
options.

         In February  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (FAS
128).  FAS 128  simplifies  the existing  earnings per share (EPS)  computations
under Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share," revises
disclosure  requirements,  and  increases  the  comparability  of EPS data on an
international  basis. In simplifying the EPS  computations,  the presentation of
primary EPS is replaced with basic EPS, with the principal difference being that
common stock equivalents are not considered in computing basic EPS. In addition,
FAS 128  requires  dual  presentation  of  basic  and  diluted  EPS.  FAS 128 is
effective for financial  statements issued for periods ending after December 15,
1997.  Had FAS 128 been  effective for the first quarter of 1997, EPS would have
been  $0.24  and  $0.21  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997 and 1996,
respectively.

(4)      Capital stock transactions
         --------------------------

         On February  21, 1997,  the  Company's  Board of  Directors  declared a
two-for-one  split of the  Company's  common  shares,  effected in the form of a
stock  dividend,  to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March
6, 1997.  Distribution of the additional shares took place on March 20, 1997. In
connection  with the  split,  the  Company's  Board of  Directors  approved  the
increase  in the number of shares of Common  Stock  authorized  for  issuance to
100,000,000  shares,  subject to approval of shareholders  which was received on
May 9,  1997.  The  shares  and per  share  data in the  consolidated  financial
statements have been restated to reflect this stock split.

         On March 27, 1996, the Company completed an offering of Common Stock to
the  public in which  3,220,000  shares of Common  Stock were sold at $36.50 per
share. Of the total number of shares offered, 450,000 shares were primary shares
and the  remaining  2,770,000  shares  were  sold by  certain  of the  Company's
shareholders,  including 400,000 Class B shares,  which were converted to Common
Stock immediately prior to the offering. The net proceeds of approximately $15.3
million were used for general corporate purposes and to finance acquisitions.


(5)      Acquisitions
         ------------

         During 1996, the Company  completed several  acquisitions.  On February
20, 1996, the Company acquired three affiliated companies - CW Systems, Inc., IG
Systems,  Inc.  and Melco  Systems,  Inc.  - for  $18.5  million.  The  acquired
companies specialize in providing information technology systems and services to
large  commercial  organizations  in various  industries,  as well as to various
state  agencies.  On November 4, 1996,  the Company  purchased the operations of
RGTI Systems Software,  a company specializing in warehouse management solutions
for $18.4 million.  Effective  November 1, 1996, the Company acquired the assets
of two related  companies,  Advances  Systems  Design,  Inc.  (ASD) and Software
Engineering,  Inc. (SEI) for $4.8 million.  These companies  provide services in
state and local government human services systems design and development.

         These  acquisitions  were  accounted  for as purchases  with  aggregate
goodwill of  approximately  $25 million in 1996. The results of their operations
are  included  in the  consolidated  results  of the  Company  from the dates of
acquisition.

         On April 30, 1997,  the Company  acquired  Largotim  Holdings,  Ltd., a
worldwide  distributor and integrator of enterprise  resource  planning software
and solutions,  for approximately $39 million. The transaction will be accounted
for as a purchase,  resulting  in goodwill  of  approximately  $21 million to be
amortized over fifteen years.  Included in the purchase price is the acquisition
of intangible assets of approximately $15 million,  which will be amortized over
periods  ranging  from four to fifteen  years.  The  transaction  also  provides
additional consideration to the sellers if certain profitability targets are met
by December 31, 1998.

(6)      Restructuring
         -------------

         The Company announced a new alignment of its business operations during
the third  quarter of 1996.  This new  organization  consists of five  strategic
business units - Federal  Systems,  State and Local Systems,  Integrated  Supply
Chain Solutions, BDM Europe and Enterprise Management Services. In addition, the
new BDM  Technologies  will comprise  development  units focused on promising IT
areas.  This  organizational  realignment  resulted  in a pre-tax  restructuring
charge  of $5.8  million  to 1996  third  quarter  earnings,  which  included  a
write-down of $3.1 million of certain  assets of GCL,  severance  costs totaling
$1.8 million for approximately 40 employees across several subsidiaries, and the
accrual of  approximately  $0.9  million  for  certain  facility  expenses.  The
write-down  at GCL  affected  primarily  goodwill  and  fixed  assets,  and  was
determined  based on  analyses of future  cash flow  expected  from that area of
business  after  changes in  strategic  direction  resulting  from the  business
realignment.  During the fourth  quarter of 1996 and the first  quarter of 1997,
the Company made  payments of $452,000 and  $448,000,  respectively  against the
restructuring  reserve related  primarily to severance and lease costs. At March
31, 1997, approximately $591,000 remained in the reserve balance.


(7)      Other Matters
         -------------

         The Company has been  informed  that a civil "qui tam" lawsuit has been
filed  against  the  Company and has  received a copy of the  Complaint  in that
action.  The  matter is  currently  under  Court  seal.  The  Complaint  alleges
violation  under  the  Federal  False  Claims  Act in  connection  with  certain
mischarging under overseas  government  contracts  administered by the U. S. Air
Force, related to certain housing rented in connection with overseas operations,
alleged improper hiring of and payments to certain  employees,  alleged improper
payments to a subcontractor, and alleged improper purchases and payments made in
support of client activities. Aggregate revenue from these contracts in calendar
year 1996 was approximately  $41 million.  In connection with this case, BDM has
received a subpoena for  information  in a civil  investigation  underway by the
Office of Inspector  General of the Department of Defense and an Assistant U. S.
Attorney  for the  Eastern  District  of  Virginia  with  respect to the matters
alleged in the  Complaint.  BDM will  cooperate  fully with the  Government  and
expects to make extensive document production in response to the subpoena.

(6)      Other Matters, cont'd
         ---------------------

         The  Company  is engaged  in  providing  services  and  products  under
contracts  with the U. S.  Government  and, to a lesser  degree,  under  foreign
government  contracts,  some of which are  administered by the U. S. Government.
All such contracts are subject to extensive  legal and regulatory  requirements,
and  the  above  mentioned  investigation  apparently  focuses  on  whether  the
Company's  overseas  operations in connection  with the subject  contracts  were
conducted  in  accordance  with  such  requirements.  The  lawsuit  and  related
investigation  could result in  administrative,  civil or criminal  liabilities,
including reimbursements, fines or penalties being imposed. Under the provisions
of the False  Claims Act, a civil  penalty of between  $5,000 and $10,000 can be
assessed for each claim, plus three times the amount of any damages sustained by
the Government.  The Complaint seeks such relief but does not specify the amount
of damages.  In addition  to damages,  a finding of civil or criminal  liability
could lead to suspension or debarment of the contractor if it is found to be not
currently  responsible,  which  would  make  some  or all  of  the  contractor's
operations  ineligible to be awarded U. S. Government  contracts for a period of
time.  Such civil or criminal  liability or suspension or debarment could have a
material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company.  Management  is  unable  to  make a
meaningful  estimate of the amounts or range of loss that could result from this
litigation, however, management does not anticipate that the ultimate resolution
of this  litigation  will have a material  effect on the Company's  consolidated
financial position.

Item 2.  Managements' Discussion and Analysis
- -------  ------------------------------------

OVERVIEW


         With respect to the Company's  financial  results for the first quarter
of 1997, revenue was $250.6 million, up 11% for the three months ended March 31,
1997, compared to the first quarter of 1996. Net income was $6.9 million, up 27%
for the same  period.  Earnings  per share of $0.23 for the three  months  ended
March 31, 1997,  reflects a 21% increase  over the previous  year.  Earnings per
share for both periods presented  reflects the two-for-one stock split announced
in February of this year.

         Once again,  changes in exchange rates impacted the Company's  results.
Excluding  the  effect of the  changes in the  German  mark to the U.S.  dollar,
revenue  would have  increased  14% for the three  months  ended March 31, 1997,
compared to the same period in 1996.

         Revenue is presented below by strategic  business unit,  reflecting the
organizational  changes made in the  Company's  realignment.  In  addition,  the
categories  for services  provided have been revised to present more clearly the
business  activities of the Company.  BDM continues to broaden its revenue base,
increasing  in both  absolute  and  percentage  terms the revenue  derived  from
commercial business and from information  technology services and products.  The
Company's  contract  backlog  was $2.1  billion  and  proposal  backlog was $1.2
billion as of March 31, 1997.

         Revenue by Client Category
         --------------------------

         U.S.  Department  of  Defense  (DOD):  Revenue  derived  from  the U.S.
         Department of Defense (DOD)  increased 8% in the first quarter of 1997,
         compared  to  the  same  period  in  1996.  There  were  a  variety  of
         contributors  to this growth  including  contracts for defense test and
         evaluation and support for ballistic missile defense and other military
         programs,  much of which  involves  information  systems  architecture,
         design, modeling, and testing. In addition, sales of hardware and other
         equipment increased slightly over the prior year.

         International  Defense:  Revenue from  international  defense  business
         increased  24% in 1997  over  1996,  due to  higher  revenue  from  the
         Company's  contracts  in Saudi  Arabia.  This growth in the Middle East
         offset a  reduction  of revenue in Germany  due to the end of  "blanket
         order agreements" with the German Ministry of Defense (MOD), which were
         available for a three-year  period following the acquisition of IABG in
         late 1993. Effective January 1, 1997, each procurement with the MOD now
         requires a new  contract,  which has  proven to be an  administratively
         slower  process.  Such delays are not expected in the  remainder of the
         year.  Exchange  rate  fluctuations  also  impacted  the  growth of the
         Company's  European  activities as a result of a stronger U.S.  dollar.
         Excluding  the  impact  of the  exchange  rate,  international  defense
         revenue would have increased 28%.

         Civil Government:  Revenue from civil government contracts declined 11%
         from the first  quarter of 1997  compared  to the same  period in 1996.
         This decline reflects the continuation of several factors  mentioned in
         earlier  disclosures,  including  a decline in revenue  generated  from
         environmental   restoration  and  waste  management  programs  for  the
         Department of Energy as a result of continued budget reductions.  There
         has also been a decline in  revenue  generated  from  state  government
         contracts  due to a  postponement  of  decisions  on such  contracts as
         states assess the impact of the new Federal  Welfare Reform law enacted
         in 1996.  In  addition,  the  Company  has  experienced  implementation
         difficulties on one of its state contracts. The Company is currently in
         discussions with the client. Until a resolution is reached, the Company
         is not  recognizing  profit on the  contract.  The  reduction  in civil
         government revenue also reflects lower pass-through  contracts from the
         German  government  and the  decline of the German mark versus the U.S.
         dollar.  These reductions were partially offset by additional Job Corps
         Center business.

         Commercial:  The  increase of 25% in  commercial  revenue for the three
         months  ended March 31, 1997,  reflects  the growth from  semiconductor
         integration,  warehouse  automation,  enterprise  resource planning and
         integration, business process transformation,  and other services. This
         growth was also fueled by revenue from various private sector customers
         of  companies  acquired  during  1996.  The  international   commercial
         business was impacted by the aforementioned  fluctuations in the German
         mark to U.S. dollar exchange rate. Excluding the impact of the currency
         fluctuations,  commercial  revenue  would have  increased by 32% in the
         first quarter of 1997.


         Revenue by Services Provided
         ----------------------------

                  Starting with the first quarter of 1997,  the Company  defines
         its revenue by service type in a different  manner in an effort to more
         clearly  present  the  business  activities  of the  Company.  The  new
         categories include  Information  Technology,  Technical  Services,  and
         Enterprise Management.

         Information  Technology : Includes all  activities  where the principal
         result  of  the  effort  (1)  pertains  to  the  requirements,  design,
         implementation, operation, or maintenance of an information system; (2)
         utilizes one or more information  technology  products as the principal
         means of  producing  results;  or (3)  relates  directly  to studies or
         analysis  wherein the dominant aspect is information  technology or the
         application of information  technology.  Revenue in this area increased
         17% for the three  months  ended March 31,  1997,  compared to the same
         period in 1996.  This  increase  was  driven by  organic  growth in the
         Integrated Supply Chain Solutions, Federal Systems and BDM Technologies
         business units,  as well as revenue from the companies  acquired during
         1996.

         Technical Services : Includes a broad range of scientific, engineering,
         technical assistance, and consulting services which are not encompassed
         in the information  category described above. The increase in Technical
         Services  revenue  of 8% in the  first  quarter  of 1997 is a result of
         growth in a number of  contracts  including  the  expansion  of work in
         Saudi Arabia and technical support for a variety of military programs.

         Enterprise Management: Represents business in which the Company manages
         and operates  research and development  centers and other facilities on
         behalf of its customers.  An increase in the Company's Job Corps Center
         business  was offset by a decline  due to the  completion  of a support
         contract at a U.S. Air Force Base,  resulting in slightly lower revenue
         in this area for the first quarter of 1997.


         Revenue by Strategic Business Unit
         ----------------------------------

         Federal  Systems:  Revenue  from Federal  Systems grew 11%,  reflecting
         expanded work for a variety of federal agencies, most notably involving
         information  technology  for  various  defense  activities,   and  also
         increased   services  and  support  in  defense  test  and  evaluation,
         ballistic missile defense, and other military programs.  Hardware sales
         increased  somewhat over the prior year,  which also contributed to the
         higher revenue.  This was partially offset by a decline in work for the
         U.S. Department of Energy.

         Integrated Supply Chain Solutions: Revenue from Integrated Supply Chain
         Solutions  increased  208% over the previous  year period.  This growth
         reflects a 118% increase in the Company's  organic  business as well as
         revenue  from  the  RGTI  acquisition.  This  business  unit  also  had
         substantial  contract awards and proposal  backlog in the first quarter
         of 1997.

         Enterprise  Management  Services:  Revenue from  Enterprise  Management
         Services grew 24% as a result of higher  revenue in most aspects of its
         business,  including its work in Saudi Arabia and  additional Job Corps
         Center  revenue.  This  growth  was  partially  offset  by a  reduction
         resulting  from the end of the Company's  contract to manage a U.S. Air
         Force Base.

         BDM  Europe:  Revenue  from BDM  Europe  declined  due to the impact of
         changes  in the  exchange  rates,  as  well  as a  decline  in  revenue
         denominated in local currency. The real decline in BDM Europe's revenue
         is largely  attributable to the end of "blanket order  agreements" with
         the German MOD. As mentioned above, the Company's German subsidiary has
         experienced  administrative  delays with the new  contracting  process,
         although this is expected to improve for the remainder of the year.

         State and Local Systems: Revenue declined in the first quarter of 1997,
         versus  the same  period  in 1996 as  described  above  under the Civil
         Government section.

         BDM Technologies:  This business unit consists of several developmental
         units including Year 2000+ development,  Internet/Intranet  Technology,
         Network Security,  and IT Services.  Due to the developmental nature of
         this unit, the quarterly  results may be more variable than that of the
         strategic business units.

</TABLE>

COST OF SALES

         Cost  of  sales,  which  includes  salaries,  benefits,   subcontractor
expenses,  materials and overhead costs, decreased as a percentage of revenue in
the three months  ended March 31, 1997  compared to the three months ended March
31,  1996,  driven by  improved  profit  margins in a variety  of the  Company's
business  areas.  This profit margin  improvement  was  partially  offset by the
impact of a slight increase in hardware  pass-throughs  occurring in 1997. These
pass-throughs represent the procurement of computer hardware and other equipment
on behalf of  customers,  and often tend to attain  lower  profit  margins  than
revenue  from  services.  Sales  pertaining  to such  materials  as a percent of
revenue were 5.7% in the first  quarter of 1997 and 4.9% in the first quarter of
1996.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

         Selling,  general and administrative (SG&A) expense, which includes the
Company's  research and  development  costs (R&D),  increased as a percentage of
revenue  in the  first  quarter  of 1997,  compared  to the same  period  in the
previous year. This increase was largely due to investments made for recruiting,
marketing,   and  research  and  development   primarily   related  to  software
development and  enhancements.  These  investments were focused on the Company's
Year 2000 efforts and state child support and welfare systems. The increase also
includes the SG&A of several  commercial  companies  acquired during 1996, which
have higher SG&A than BDM's government business units.

DEPRECIATION , AMORTIZATION AND OTHER

         Depreciation,  amortization  and  other  costs  increased  in the first
quarter  of 1997,  compared  to the  first  quarter  of 1996.  The  depreciation
component  remained  relatively  flat,  reflecting the  implementation  of a new
financial and  management  information  system in the fourth  quarter of 1996 at
Federal Systems, offset by the impact of the German mark to U.S. dollar exchange
rate on depreciation  related to fixed assets in Germany.  Amortization  expense
increased for the first three months of 1997, compared to the same period in the
prior year,  reflecting  amortization  of goodwill and other  intangible  assets
associated with acquisitions completed during 1996.

INTEREST (INCOME) EXPENSE, NET

         Net  interest  income  increased  for the three  months ended March 31,
1997, compared to the comparable period in 1996, reflecting $15.3 million in net
proceeds  from a public stock  offering in March 1996.  In addition,  a currency
gain recognized on the settlement of borrowings in German marks also contributed
to higher interest income.

EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF AFFILIATES

         Equity in earnings of  affiliates  represents  the  Company's  share of
earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures.  These amounts have remained stable
compared to the prior year period.

MINORITY INTEREST

         The minority interest share of earnings  increased for the three months
ended March 31, 1997,  compared to the same period in the previous year, and was
unchanged  as  a  percentage  of  revenue.   This  increase   reflects  improved
profitability of joint ventures in the Middle East.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

          The difference between the combined statutory federal and state income
tax rate of 42% and the Company's  actual  effective  income tax rate of 43% for
the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, is primarily attributable
to certain goodwill  amortization which is not deductible for federal income tax
purposes.  This  effective  income  tax rate  also  reflects  the  impact of the
Company's  international  expansion  into countries with higher income tax rates
than the United States.



LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
- ---------------------------------

         The  Company's  cash  flow from  operating  activities  reflects  lower
advances from international  customers received than in prior periods. Cash from
other aspects of operations  partially offset this reduction in cash flow, and a
slight increase in borrowings on the Company's  revolving  credit agreement also
provided additional resources to cover peak cash needs during the period.

         Cash flow related to investing activities primarily consists of capital
expenditures, as well as working capital infusions to and earnings distributions
from unconsolidated joint ventures. Included in the capital expenditures for the
period is a cash payment of  approximately  $7.6 million related to the purchase
of property by the Company's German subsidiary, IABG. Also included in investing
activities is approximately  $1.7 million for payment related to the acquisition
of ASD.

         Financing  activities  consisted  primarily of changes in borrowings on
the Company's  working  capital  facility and repayment of acquisition  debt. In
addition,  the Company  continued  to provide a benefit to employees by enabling
them to purchase  shares of common stock through  stock option  exercises and an
employee stock  purchase plan.  Financing cash flow for the first quarter of the
prior year also included the net proceeds from a public stock  offering of $15.3
million completed in March of 1996.
