                             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 September 30, 1997 and for interim
periods ended  September 30, 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,
state,  and foreign  income tax rate of 42% and the Company's  actual  effective
income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
is primarily  attributable to goodwill  amortization which is not deductible for
federal income tax purposes.


(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. For the three months ended September 30, 1997, common share equivalents
were excluded from the computation of weighted  average shares because they were
anti-dilutive.

         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 third quarter of 1997,  basic EPS would
have been  $(0.07) and $0.31 for the three and nine months ended  September  30,
1997 and $0.14 and $0.59 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996.
Diluted  EPS would  have been  $(0.07)  and $0.30 for the three and nine  months
ended September 30, 1997 and $0.13 and $0.55 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996.

(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.

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

         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 has been 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.

         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.

(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 Geoscience  Consultants,  Ltd.
(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 nine
months  of 1997,  the  Company  made  payments  of  $452,000  and $1.0  million,
respectively,  against the restructuring  reserve related primarily to severance
and lease costs.  At September 30, 1997,  there was no balance  remaining in the
restructuring reserve.

(7)      Subsequent Event - Resolution of State Government Contract
         ----------------------------------------------------------

         On  October  31,  1997,  the  Company  and a certain  state  government
customer  agreed  on a  resolution  that  ended  the  program  performance.  The
consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended September
30, 1997,  have been adjusted to reflect the results of this  subsequent  event.
The  Company  recorded a pre-tax  charge of $14.7  million  ($0.28 per share) to
third  quarter  earnings  representing  costs  associated  with  an  uncollected
receivable on the state government contract,  as well as miscellaneous  project,
consultant, and personnel costs.

(8)      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.

         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
- --------

         A significant  revenue increase of 20% was posted for the third quarter
of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. This was  accomplished  despite the
unfavorable  effects from the impact of exchange rates which would have produced
a 23% increase and a certain state government  contract in which $2.4 million of
revenue was not  recognized  for the quarter.  Net loss of $2.2 million and loss
per share of $0.07 for the quarter  were also  affected by the state  government
contract and the  unfavorable  exchange  rates.  As was announced on November 3,
1997, the Company and a certain state government customer agreed on a resolution
which ended the program  performance.  In connection with this  resolution,  the
Company  took a  pre-tax  charge of $14.7  million  ($0.28  per  share) to third
quarter earnings representing costs associated with an uncollected receivable on
the contract, as well as miscellaneous project, consultant, and personnel costs.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, revenue was $818 million,
up 13% over the comparable  period in 1996 (16% excluding  exchange rates).  Net
income  was $9.1  million  and  earnings  per share was $0.30 for the nine month
period.  Contract  backlog as of September 30, 1997,  increased to $2.4 billion,
largely due to  significant  awards in the past three months.  As proposals were
converted to awards, the proposal backlog declined to approximately $1.1 billion
as of  September  30,  1997,  down from $1.4 billion as of the end of the second
quarter of 1997.

Revenue by Strategic Business Unit
- ----------------------------------
         Federal Systems:  Revenue from Federal Systems  decreased 2% and 3% for
         the three and nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997,  respectively,
         compared  with the same  periods in 1996.  The  Company  experienced  a
         decrease   in  revenue   from   indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity
         (ID/IQ)  contracts.  Task  orders on these  contracts  have been  below
         expectations as Federal agencies determine how to allocate  information
         technology  budgets  between  Year 2000  projects  and  other  critical
         technology   requirements.   In  particular,   the  amount  of  revenue
         contribution  from   subcontractors  was  below   expectations.   These
         reductions  were  partially  offset by  increases  on a number of other
         contracts  relating to information  technology  services and support as
         well as the delivery of a hardware  pass-through which slipped from the
         second to the third quarter of 1997.

         Enterprise  Management  Services:  Revenue from  Enterprise  Management
         Services grew 70% and 46% for the three and nine months ended September
         30, 1997, respectively,  compared to similar periods last year. This is
         a result of higher  revenue in most aspects of its business,  including
         its technical services and training work in Saudi Arabia with increased
         levels of directed  purchases  during the quarter and the operations of
         Job Corps  Centers.  This  growth was  partially  offset by a reduction
         resulting  from the end of the  Company's  contract to provide  support
         services at a US Air Force  Base.  Revenue  from the  Bradley  Fighting
         Vehicle  contract will be down temporarily in the fourth quarter due to
         funding  shortfalls.   It  is  expected  that  an  amendment  providing
         additional funding will be signed during the fourth quarter.

         BDM Europe:  Revenue from BDM Europe declined largely due to the impact
         of unfavorable  exchange rates,  which amounted to $8.4 million for the
         third quarter and $19.5 million for the nine months ended September 30,
         1997. Lower pass-through contracts from the German government were also
         a contributing factor.

         Integrated Supply Chain Solutions: Revenue from Integrated Supply Chain
         Solutions  doubled  in the third  quarter  of 1997 over the prior  year
         period, and nearly tripled for the nine month period in 1997 over 1996.
         This growth reflects a rapid increase in the Company's organic business
         in the third  quarter,  as well as revenue  from the  Largotim and RGTI
         acquisitions.  Growth in organic  business is derived from new contract
         awards in enterprise resource planning (ERP),  business  transformation
         services and solutions,  manufacturing control systems integration, and
         warehouse management systems.

         State and Local  Systems:  Revenue  increased 27% and 20% for the three
         and nine months ended September 30, 1997,  compared to the same periods
         in the prior year.  The increases  were  primarily  driven by Year 2000
         work for various  state  governments,  as well as the impact of the ASD
         acquisition  completed  at  the  end  of  1996.  These  increases  were
         partially  offset  by  declines  in other  areas  of  state  government
         business. In particular,  as was previously disclosed,  the Company has
         experienced  difficulties  on one of its  state  contracts  and did not
         recognize revenue for services on this contract.  As mentioned above, a
         resolution  was agreed  subsequent to  quarter-end  which resulted in a
         charge to earnings recognized in the third quarter.

         BDM Technologies: Revenue grew 40% for the quarter and 46% for the nine
         months of 1997,  compared to last year.  This business  unit  comprises
         several  developmental units including the Company's Year 2000 solution
         offerings,  Internet/Intranet  Technology,  Network  Security,  and  IT
         Services.  In  particular,  the rapid  organic  growth of the Year 2000
         projects  created  the  expansion  in  BDM  Technologies.  Due  to  the
         developmental  nature of this unit,  the quarterly  results may be more
         variable than those of the strategic business units.


Revenue by Client Category
- --------------------------
         US Department of Defense (DOD):  Revenue derived from the US Department
         of Defense  (DOD)  decreased  7% and 10% for the three and nine  months
         ended September 30, 1997, respectively,  compared with the same periods
         in 1996.  The  decline  in revenue  is due to lower  activity  on ID/IQ
         contracts as described above. These reductions were partially offset by
         increases  in a  number  of  other  contracts,  including  systems  and
         services for the National Guard and support for major military programs
         such as ballistic missile defense.

         International  Defense:  Revenue from  international  defense  business
         increased 48% and 35% for the three and nine months ended September 30,
         1997,  over the comparable  periods in the previous year, due to higher
         revenue from the Company's  contracts in Saudi Arabia.  This growth was
         somewhat offset by the unfavorable impact of changes in exchange rates,
         as the US dollar  continued  to grow  stronger  compared  to the German
         mark.

         Civil Government:  Revenue from civil government  contracts declined 9%
         and 7% for the three and nine month periods  ended  September 30, 1997,
         compared to the same periods in 1996.  This decline  reflected  several
         factors  cited in earlier  disclosures,  including a decline in revenue
         from  environmental  restoration and waste management  programs for the
         Department of Energy as a result of continued  budget  reductions,  and
         the effect of  difficulties  encountered on a certain state  government
         contract.  Lower pass-through  contracts from the German government and
         the  decline  of the  German  mark  versus  the  US  dollar  were  also
         contributing  factors.  These  reductions were partially offset by work
         performed  for various state  governments  on Year 2000 projects and an
         increase in revenue from the Company's Job Corps Center contracts.

         Commercial:  The increase of 76% and 63% in commercial  revenue for the
         three and nine months  ended  September  30,  1997,  reflects the rapid
         organic growth of BDM's  commercial  business,  as well as acquisitions
         during 1996 and 1997 of enterprises serving commercial  customers.  The
         Company's  organic  growth is the result of both Year 2000 projects and
         Integrated Supply Chain Solutions  business.  International  commercial
         business was impacted by the aforementioned  decline in the German mark
         to the US  dollar.  Excluding  the  impact  of  currency  fluctuations,
         commercial  revenue  would have  increased  86% in the third quarter of
         1997.


Revenue by Services Provided
- ----------------------------
         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
         34% and 29% for the three and nine months  ended  September  30,  1997,
         respectively,  compared to the same periods in 1996.  This increase was
         driven by  higher  information  technology  revenue  in the  Integrated
         Supply Chain Solutions and BDM Technologies  business units, as well as
         Year 2000 work with  commercial  and state  customers  and revenue from
         companies acquired in 1997 and 1996.

         Technical Services: Includes a broad range of scientific,  engineering,
         technical assistance,  and consulting services that are not encompassed
         in the  information  technology  category  described  above.  Technical
         Services  revenue  grew 23% in the  third  quarter  and 9% for the nine
         months  of 1997,  reflecting  growth  in a number  of  contracts  for a
         variety of military programs.  These increases were partially offset by
         lower services revenue from the German Ministry of Defense (in part due
         to the strong US dollar).

         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 US Air Force  Base.  In  addition,  the  program for the
         National  Institute  of Petroleum  Research  changed at the end of 1996
         when a portion of the management and operations  contract was converted
         to a separate contract to perform research and technical services. This
         portion of revenue is now classified as Technical Services.

</TABLE>
COST OF SALES
- -------------
         Cost  of  sales,  which  includes  salaries,  benefits,   subcontractor
expenses,  materials and overhead costs, increased as a percentage of revenue in
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same periods
in 1996, due to a charge of $14.7 million  related to the  aforementioned  state
contract.  In addition,  there is a higher level of hardware  pass-throughs  and
other  directed  purchases.  These  pass-throughs  represent the  procurement of
computer hardware and other equipment on behalf of customers,  and often tend to
yield lower profit margins than revenue from services.

SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE
- ------------------------------------
         Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expense, which includes the
Company's  research and  development  costs (R&D),  decreased as a percentage of
revenue for the three months  ended  September  30, 1997,  compared to the third
quarter of 1996. This decrease was due mainly to the impact of a higher level of
hardware  pass-throughs  and other  directed  purchases in the third  quarter of
1997,  compared to the same period in 1996.  These hardware sales had less of an
impact on the nine-month  period,  in which the investments made for recruiting,
marketing,   and  research  and  development,   primarily  related  to  software
development  and  enhancements,   are  reflected  in  a  higher  cost  of  sales
percentage.  These  investments  were focused on the Company's Year 2000 efforts
and Integrated Supply Chain  activities.  The increase also includes the SG&A of
several  commercial  companies  acquired during 1997 and 1996, which have higher
SG&A consistent with typical commercial operations.

DEPRECIATION, AMORTIZATION, AND OTHER
- -------------------------------------
         Depreciation,  amortization,  and other  costs  increased  in the third
quarter and the nine months of 1997,  compared to the same periods in 1996.  The
increased  depreciation  component  reflected  depreciation  expense of acquired
businesses  and an  increase  from the  implementation  of a new  financial  and
management  information system in the fourth quarter of 1996 at Federal Systems.
These  increases  were  offset  by the  impact of the  German  mark to US dollar
exchange rate on depreciation  related to fixed assets in Germany.  Amortization
expense  increased  for the three and nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997,
compared  to the same  periods in the prior  year,  reflecting  amortization  of
goodwill and other  intangible  assets  associated with  acquisitions  completed
during 1996 and 1997.

INTEREST EXPENSE (INCOME), NET
- ------------------------------
         The Company  reported net interest expense of $.7 million for the third
quarter of 1997,  and net  interest  income of $30,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997.  This is compared to net interest  income of $.5 million and
$1.5  million  for the  comparable  periods in 1996,  respectively.  This change
reflects interest costs on acquisitions  completed during 1996 and 1997, as well
as lower advances from customers in Germany that reduced interest earned on cash
balances.

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
relatively stable compared to the prior year period.

MINORITY INTEREST
- -----------------
         The  minority  interest  share of earnings  increased  during the third
quarter of 1997, compared to the same period in the previous year. This increase
reflects the improved profitability of IABG and the joint ventures in the Middle
East.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
- --------------------------
         The  difference  between the combined  statutory  federal,  state,  and
foreign  income tax rate of 42% and the Company's  actual  effective  income tax
rate is primarily  attributable  to certain  goodwill  amortization  that is not
deductible for federal income tax purposes.

LIQUIDITY  AND CAPITAL  RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
         The Company's cash flow from operating  activities reflects an increase
in days sales outstanding,  and lower advances from international customers than
in prior  periods.  A high level of hardware  pass-throughs  and other  directed
purchases  late in the third  quarter  of 1997 was a  significant  driver of the
increase  in days  sales  outstanding.  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 included cash paid to acquire
businesses,  including $32.1 million paid for Largotim and $1.8 million for ASD.
Capital  expenditures  of $26 million  included a cash payment of  approximately
$7.6  million  made in the first  quarter  of 1997  related to the  purchase  of
property by the Company's  German  subsidiary,  IABG.  IABG also made a dividend
payment in the third quarter of 1997, $2.2 million of which was paid to minority
owners.

         Financing  activities  consisted  primarily of changes in borrowings on
the  Company's  working  capital  facility for the  acquisition  of Largotim and
repayment  of other  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.
