5.    ACQUISITIONS

Effective June 1, 1998 the Company acquired all of the outstanding  common stock
of Klick,  Kent & Allen,  Inc. (KK&A).  KK&A,  based in Alexandria, VA, provides
strategic and economic consulting to various regulated  businesses,  advising on
such matters as industry deregulation,  mergers and acquisitions,  rate and cost
structures,  economic and financial  modeling and litigation risk analysis.  The
purchase price was $10 million  payable in installments of $6 million on July 1,
1998,  $2 million on July 1, 1999 and $2 million on July 1, 2000.  In  addition,
contingent  consideration  equal to fifty percent of the pre-tax profits of KK&A
for the three years ended June 30, 2001 payable annually on a rolling basis.

The acquisition was accounted for by the Company as a purchase and  accordingly,
the accompanying 1998 consolidated  financial  statements include the results of
operations and cash flows of the acquired  business  beginning June 1, 1998. The
excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the assets acquired
of $9,808 was  recorded as goodwill.  Any future  payments  paid for  contingent
consideration  will  increase  the  amount of  goodwill  when such  amounts  are
determinable.  Goodwill will be amortized over 20 years.  Six million dollars in
promissory  notes  were  issued  at an  interest  rate of 7.0% and four  million
dollars in promissory notes were issued at an interest rate of 7.5%.

The following  unaudited pro forma summary combines the consolidated  results of
operations  of the Company and KK&A as if the  acquisition  had  occurred at the
beginning  of 1998  and  1997,  after  giving  effect  to  certain  adjustments,
including  amortization of intangible assets,  increased interest expense on the
acquisition  debt,  decrease in officer  compensation,  and  related  income tax
effects. In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into employment
agreements with the four stockholders and executive officers of KK&A. The future
amount of compensation to be paid to these officers, who will have substantially
the same  duties and  responsibilities,  will be less than the  amounts  paid in
periods prior to the acquisition.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues  for the second  quarter and six months  ended June 30, 1998  increased
25.2% to $11.9 million and 36.6% to $26.0 million over the same periods in 1997,
respectively. The increases in the quarter were attributable to the acquisitions
of LWG and  Bodaken  in  September  1997 and to KK&A  acquired  in June of 1998.
Increases in the six months comparable  periods from internal growth amounted to
approximately  10% with the  remaining  increase due to  acquisitions.  Internal
growth was impacted by the  earlier-than-expected  conclusion  of several  major
engagements and postponement of several others during the second quarter.

Direct costs during 1998 increased  28.7% and 37.7% over the comparable  quarter
and six month periods, respectively.  Such increases,  representing increases in
resources  attributable to client projects,  were generally  consistent with the
increases  in  revenues.  The  increases  during  1998 in  selling,  general and
administrative  expenses of 31.3% and 35.4% over the comparable  quarter and six
month periods  represent  increased  costs due to new  operations  added through
acquisitions and other cost increases attributable to growth of the business.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

Cash flows  provided by operations  during the six months of 1998 as compared to
the comparable  period of 1997 remained  constant despite  increasing net income
due to decreases in accounts receivable and accounts payable balances.  Cash was
used in this  period for the  purchase  of property  and  equipment.  Additional
inflows of cash were  provided by the exercise of stock  options  during the six
months.  Options for 182,300  shares were exercised in the first quarter of 1998
thus resulting in an overall increase in cash.

On July 1, 1998 the Company borrowed $6 million on the existing  short-term line
of credit for the first  installment  on the  acquisition  of KK&A.  The Company
expects  that  available  cash and existing  short-term  lines of credit will be
sufficient to meet its normal operating requirements over the near term.
