                                  JUNE 30, 1997


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial information
and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted  accounting  principles
for  complete  financial  statements.  For  further  information,  refer  to the
consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996.

In the opinion of management,  all adjustments  (consisting of normal  recurring
accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been  included.
Operating  results  for the  six  month  period  ended  June  30,  1997  are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1997.

On September 30, 1996 the Company  acquired all of the outstanding  common stock
of Teklicon,  Inc.  ("Teklicon") in exchange for 415,000 shares of common stock.
The  acquisition  was accounted for as a pooling of interests and,  accordingly,
the Company's  financial  statements have been restated for all periods prior to
the merger to include the financial  position,  results of operations,  and cash
flows of Teklicon. The accompanying  consolidated statements of operations,  and
cash flows for the three and six month  periods  ending  June 30, 1996 have been
restated to reflect the acquisition of Teklicon.

 2. OPTION GRANTS

On March 25, 1997,  the Board of  Directors  approved the issuance of options to
purchase  300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to key employees.  The exercise
prices of the shares  granted  range from $6.00 to $9.50 per share,  at or above
the  estimated  fair market value of a share of Class A Common Stock at the date
of grant, and the options vest ratably over a three year period.

In  addition,  options to  purchase  4,200  shares of Class A Common  Stock were
issued on May 21,  1997 to each of the non  employee  directors  of the  Company
under the Formula  Option of the 1997 Stock Option Plan.  An aggregate of 16,800
options were granted at an exercise price of $7.63 per share.

In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, "Earnings Per Share", which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.
At that time,  the Company will be required to change the method  currently used
to compute  earnings per share and to restate all prior  periods.  The impact of
Statement  128 on the  calculation  of earnings  per share is not expected to be
material.

                 FORENSIC TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


Revenues for the second  quarter and six months  ended June 30, 1997,  increased
18.3%, to $9.5 million and 27.0% to $19.0 million over the same periods in 1996,
respectively.  These  increases are primarily the result of revenues from visual
communication  services  growing 36.4% to $4.6 million and 61.0% to $9.3 million
during the quarter and six months,  respectively,  attributable to higher levels
of active trials during the periods and the success of an integrated approach to
the marketing of the Company's services. Trial consulting decreased 15.2% during
the  quarter  and 4.9%  during the six  months,  due to loss of certain  revenue
generating  personnel  during the periods.  Engineering  revenues grew 17.5% and
11.6% during the quarter and six months, respectively, attributable to increased
sales by last year's acquisitions of Teklicon and Anamet Laboratories.

Direct costs, as a percentage of revenue, were approximately the same during the
second  quarter and six months of 1997 and 1996, as a result of managing the mix
of  internal  and  external  resources  to meet the  demands  for the  Company's
services. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percent of
revenue  during  the  quarter  as the  growth in fixed and  semi-variable  costs
exceeded the increase in revenues. Interest expense decreased in the quarter and
six months due to no usage on the line of credit during 1997;  borrowings  under
the line of credit during 1996 were repaid from funds  received from the sale of
Common Stock in May,  1996.  Unused  funds from such sale have been  invested to
increase interest income subsequent to May, 1996.

Cash  flow  provided  by  operations  during  the six  months,  were  offset  by
additional  investments  in office  facilities  and  computer  equipment.  These
investments  assist the Company in providing  enhanced  services to its clients.
The net decrease in cash was funded by the remaining balance of the net proceeds
from the sale of the Company's stock in May, 1996.  Such balance,  approximately
$5.3  million,  will be used for  working  capital and other  general  corporate
purposes, including possible acquisitions.
