                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                               September 30, 1996


    (1)  BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         BUSINESS

         The Netplex Group,  Inc. (the  "Company") was  incorporated  in 1986 to
         provide  professional  technical  services  specializing  in  Networked
         Information Systems. The Company designs, implements, and manages large
         networked-based  systems  that  deliver  breakthrough  improvements  in
         operation  and service  level  performance.  The depth of the Company's
         expertise  includes  Networked  Systems  Management,  Disaster Recovery
         Planning,  Information  Security,  Help Desk Systems,  LAN Integration,
         Remote and Mobile Workforce Automation, Intranet Deployment,  Technical
         Staffing  Services,  Information  Technology  Outsourcing  and Law Firm
         Automation.

         BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The  Company  filed a Form 8-K on June 7,  1996  reporting  the  merger
         described  in footnote 2 below.  The Company  recorded the merger under
         the purchase method of accounting as a reverse merger. The accompanying
         unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  have been  prepared  in
         accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles for interim
         financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB 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..  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 three month period ended  September 30, 1996
         and the nine month period ended  September 30, 1996 are not necessarily
         indicative  of the  results  that may be  expected  for the fiscal year
         ended December 31, 1996.

         EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Earnings  (loss)  per share is  computed  on the basis of the  weighted
         average  number  of  common  shares  outstanding  plus  the  effect  of
         outstanding options and warrants, using the treasury stock method.

    (2)  MERGER

         On June 7,  1996 the  Company  (formerly  known as  CompLink,  Ltd.  or
         "CompLink")  acquired  and merged  with The  Netplex  Group,  Inc.  and
         America's Work Exchange,  Inc.  (combined  referred to as "Netplex") by
         issuing approximately 3,250,000 shares of common stock, or 50.4% of the
         Company's  outstanding  stock after giving  effect to the mergers.  The
         agreement  also provided for CompLink to assume  1,691,000  outstanding
         common  stock  options of the  acquirees.  Netplex is  comprised of two
         divisions:  a computer systems integrator division and another division
         that  provides  contract  computer   professionals  to  businesses  and
         organizations  in  need  of  project  specific  staffing  and  provides
         business   services   and   other   benefits   to   contract   computer
         professionals.  The mergers have been  accounted for under the purchase
         method of accounting as a reverse merger, since the shareholders of the
         acquirees, which have common control, received the larger percentage of
         the voting  rights of the combined  entity.  The mergers  resulted in a
         recapitalization  of the  accounting  acquirors  so that the  resulting
         capitalization  after the  mergers  will be that of  CompLink's  giving
         effect to the new share  issuance  and the  elimination  of  CompLink's
         accumulated  deficit.  The acquisition of the assets and liabilities of
         CompLink have been accounted for at book value, which approximates fair
         value. The statements of operations for the three and nine months ended
         September  30,  1996  reflect  those of Netplex  and those of  CompLink
         commencing June 1, 1996. Prior periods statements of operations reflect
         only the results of Netplex. Coincident with the mergers, the Company's
         name was changed from CompLink, Ltd. to The Netplex Group, Inc. and The
         Netplex Group, Inc. changed its name to The Netplex Systems Integration
         Group, Inc. ("Netplex Virginia").

         The following unaudited pro forma results of operations present, on the
         purchase basis of accounting, the consolidated results of operations of
         the Company for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996 and for the
         year ended  December  31,  1995 as if the  mergers  had taken  place on
         January 1, 1995 and reflect the historical results of operations of the
         purchased  businesses adjusted for goodwill  amortization and increased
         common shares outstanding from the mergers.

         purchase been made at the beginning of the period, or the results which
         may occur in the future.


    (3)  PRIVATE PLACEMENT

         0n September  19, 1996,  the Company  raised  approximately  $3,000,000
         through  the  completion  of a private  placement  offering of units of
         equity securities. Each unit of equity securities consists of one share
         of $.01 par value class A convertible  preferred  stock (the "preferred
         stock")  and one  common  stock  warrant to  purchase  one share of the
         Company's $0.001 par value common stock at an exercise price of $2.50.

         Each share of preferred  stock is convertible  into one share of common
         at any time, at the discretion of the holder. The preferred stock earns
         cumulative  dividends  at 10% per  annum,  payable  in  either  cash or
         additional shares of preferred stock at the Company's  option.  Subject
         to the conversion rights, the Company may redeem the preferred stock at
         its  stated  value plus all  accrued  and unpaid  dividends  upon:  (1)
         registration of the shares  underlying the preferred  stock, and (2) 30
         days written notice given at any time upon attaining  certain per share
         trading prices and sustaining such prices for a specified  period.  The
         preferred stock has a per share  liquidation  preference of the greater
         of: (i) two times the par value plus any accrued and unpaid  dividends,
         or (ii) the amount  that would have been  received  if such shares were
         converted  to common stock on the  business  day  immediately  prior to
         liquidation.

         Each warrant issued in connection  with the private  placement  becomes
         exercisable  on March 19, 1997 and expire on September  19,  2001.  The
         Company  has the right to call the  warrants at a  redemption  price of
         $.01 per share upon:  (1)  registration  of the shares  underlying  the
         warrant (2) 30 days  written  notice  given at any time upon  attaining
         certain  per share  trading  prices and  sustaining  such  prices for a
         specified period.

    (4)  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         APPLICATION FOR RE-LISTING OF SHARES ON THE NASDAQ SMALL CAP MARKET

         On  October  21,  1996,  the  Company  filed  an  application  for  the
         re-listing of its shares of common stock on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market
         ("Nasdaq").  While the Company  believes that it meets the requirements
         for listing its common stock on Nasdaq,  there can be no assurance that
         such listing will be approved.

         The Company's  common stock is currently  traded on the OTC  Electronic
         Bulletin Board and on the Boston Stock Exchange.

         AGREEMENT FOR SALE OF WORLDLINKTM TECHNOLOGY

         On November 5, 1996,  the Company  reached an agreement for the sale of
         its WorldLinkTM  Remote and Mobile Workforce  automation  software (the
         "Product")  developed and  distributed by its  wholly-owned  subsidiary
         Technology  Development  Systems,  Inc. ("TDS"). The sale price is $3.5
         million payable in cash at closing,  originally expected to be November
         15, 1996. On November 19, 1996, the Company  completed a portion of the
         sale with the buyer for a purchase  price of $2.0 million in cash.  The
         Company and the buyer agreed to continue negotiations for the remaining
         portion of the transaction.  Finalization of the sale of the Product is
         expected  by  year  end,  but,  there  can be no  assurances  that  the
         remaining portion of this transaction will be completed.

         The Company will continue to support  WorldLink'sTM  existing customers
         and has formed a practice unit to provide  Remote and Mobile  Workforce
         Automation services.

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


OVERVIEW

The Netplex Group, Inc. (the "Company"),  headquartered in McLean,  Virginia, is
an information technology solutions provider.

The  Company's  core  business  is based  on  offering  a range of  professional
technical  services to large  organizations who require  assistance  integrating
information technology into their operations.  The Company employs approximately
300 full-time  technical employees and has access to a database of an additional
fifteen  thousand  technical  consultants  who may be contracted  for hire on an
as-needed basis. The Company's services focus on the design, implementation, and
management of large network-based systems. Occasionally, the Company must resell
technology   products   in  order  to   deliver   customers   fully   integrated
system-solutions.

The  Company  has  several  Specialized   Practice  Groups  focused  on  certain
industries and advanced  technologies.  Currently,  the Company has  Specialized
Practice  Groups for  Network  and  Systems  Management,  Help Desk  Automation,
Disaster Recovery Planning,  Information Systems Security,  Intranet Deployment,
Remote and Mobile Workforce Automation, and Law Firm Office Automation.

In addition to providing information  technology services,  the Company's wholly
owned subsidiary,  Technology  Development Systems,  Inc. ("TDS"),  develops and
markets an award-winning  communications  software product under the trademarked
name of WorldLinkTM. WorldLinkTM is a message-oriented middleware product suited
for integrating a remote workforce (e.g. sales force),  electronic  supply chain
integration  (e.g.  manufacturer to distributor  data  interchange),  and remote
on-line  transaction  processing  (either  over the World  Wide Web or by direct
dial-up).  WorldLinkTM is a single-point  communications  solution  facilitating
unattended access to most computing platforms.

On November 5, 1996,  the Company  reached an agreement to sell its  WorldLinkTM
technology for $3.5 million (see Note 4 - "Subsequent Events").

The Company has offices in the New York City, Central New Jersey,  Chicago,  and
Washington, D.C. metropolitan markets.

As described in Note 2 to Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for the
nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  the  unaudited  pro forma  results of
operations are presented as if the mergers occurred on January 1, 1995.

MERGER

On June 7, 1996 the Company  (formerly  known as  CompLink,  Ltd.  ["CompLink"])
acquired and merged with The Netplex  Group,  Inc. and America's  Work Exchange,
Inc.  (combined  referred to as  "Netplex") by issuing  approximately  3,250,000
shares of Common Stock, or 50.4% of the Company's outstanding stock after giving
effect to the  mergers.  The  agreement  also  provided  for  CompLink to assume
1,691,000  outstanding  common  stock  options  of  the  acquirees.  Netplex  is
comprised of two divisions:  a computer systems integrator  division and another
division  that  provides  contract  computer  professionals  to  businesses  and
organizations  in  need of  project  specific  staffing  and  provides  business
services and other benefits to contract computer professionals. The mergers have
been accounted for under the purchase  method of accounting as a reverse merger,
since the shareholders of the acquirees, which have common control, received the
larger  percentage  of the voting  rights of the  combined  entity.  The mergers
resulted  in a re  capitalization  of  the  accounting  acquirors  so  that  the
resulting  capitalization  after the  mergers  will be that of  CompLink  giving
effect to the new share  issuance and the  elimination  of CompLink  accumulated
deficit.  The  acquisition  of the assets and  liabilities of CompLink have been
accounted for at book value,  which  approximates  fair value. The statements of
operations for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1996 reflect those
of  Netplex  and  those of  CompLink  commencing  June 1,  1996.  Prior  periods
statements of operations  reflect only the results of Netplex.  Coincident  with
the mergers the Company's  name was changed from  CompLink,  Ltd. to The Netplex
Group, Inc.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were $9,013,727  compared
to  $1,248,177  for the same  period in 1995,  an increase  of  $7,765,550.  The
increase was primarily  due to the  additional  consulting  revenue added to the
Company's  systems  integration  and  software  revenue  as a result of a merger
between America's Work Exchange, Inc. ("AWE") and another entity.

Gross profit  increased to $1,259,897  for the quarter ended  September 30, 1996
compared  to  $770,976  for the same  period in the prior  year,  an increase of
$488,921.  This  increase  was a result of the  additional  consulting  revenue,
improved  profit  margins on the  systems  integration  revenue,  and due to the
additional revenues from the WorldLinkTM software product.  Gross profit margins
decreased to 14.0% for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1996 compared to 61.7%
for the same period in 1995.  The decrease was due to the  increased  consulting
revenues  which  produce  gross profit  margins  lower than systems  integration
revenue.

Selling and  marketing  expenses  increased  from $102,430 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995 to $713,951 for the quarter  ended  September 30, 1996 due to
the inclusion of such expenses from the entities that merged with Netplex.

General and  administrative  expenses  increased  from  $589,057 for the quarter
ended  September 30, 1995 to $1,433,048 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996
due to the  inclusion  of such  expenses  from the  entities  that  merged  with
Netplex.

Operating  losses  were  $950,386  for the quarter  ended  September  30,  1996,
compared to an  operating  profit of $79,489 for the same period  prior year,  a
decrease of $1,029,875. The components of this decrease are discussed above.

No provision for income taxes was required for the three months ended  September
30, 1996, due to the net loss for the period then ended. No provision for income
taxes was  required  in the  comparable  1995 period due to  utilization  of net
operating loss carry forwards.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $24,800,023  compared
to  $5,055,810  for the same period in 1995,  an increase  of  $19,744,213.  The
increase was primarily  due to the  additional  consulting  revenue added to the
Company's  systems  integration  and software  revenue as a result of the merger
involving AWE.

Gross profit  increased to  $3,486,248  for the nine months ended  September 30,
1996 compared to  $2,114,912  for the same period the prior year, an increase of
$1,371,336.  This increase was a result of the  additional  consulting  revenue,
improved  profit  margins on the  systems  integration  revenue,  and due to the
additional revenues from the WorldLinkTM software product.  Gross profit margins
decreased  to 14.1% for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996  compared to
41.8%  for the  same  period  in 1995.  The  decrease  was due to the  increased
consulting  revenues  which  produce  gross  profit  margins  lower than systems
integration revenue.

Selling and  marketing  expenses  increased  from $338,577 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995 to $1,171,220 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 due to
the inclusion of such expenses from the entities that merged with Netplex.

General and  administrative  expenses  increased  from  $1,625,208  for the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1995 to  $3,983,968  for the  nine  months  ended
September  30, 1996 due to the inclusion of such expenses from the entities that
merged with Netplex.

Operating  losses were  $1,801,391 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
compared to an  operating  profit of $151,127  for the same period prior year, a
decrease of $1,952,518. The components of this decrease are discussed above.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

No provision  for income taxes was required for the nine months ended  September
30, 1996, due to the net loss for the period then ended. No provision for income
taxes was  required  in the  comparable  1995 period due to  utilization  of net
operating loss carry forwards.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company's operating activities
used  approximately  $2,756,000  of the  Company's  cash.  This  cash  usage was
primarily the result of the Company's net loss of  approximately  $1,783,000 for
the period then ended, as well as from decreases in deferred revenues,  accounts
payable and accrued expenses and increased accounts receivable.

The Company funded its operations, purchased fixed assets, repaid its borrowings
under its line of credit  and other  such  investing  and  financing  activities
during  the  period  through  cash  acquired  in the  merger  with  CompLink  of
approximately  $1,595,000 and the net proceeds from the Company's private equity
placement  transaction  which was completed in September  1996 of  approximately
$2,985,000 (see "Note 3 - Private Placement").

At September 30, 1996, the Company has cash and cash  equivalents of $2,512,008.
The Company has no long-term debt and has no outstanding balance on its $750,000
line of credit facility with a bank.

The  Company  is  expected  to incur  operating  losses  until such time that it
achieves full productivity of its sales force.  While it cannot be certain as to
when such levels of productivity can be attained,  the Company  anticipates that
its sales force will operate at levels below full productivity  through at least
the  first  half  of  1997.  The  Company  will  continue  to  make  significant
investments in marketing,  training and infrastructure to increase productivity,
build its core  competency  practice  units skill base and foster  growth of its
operations.  Despite this expectation of operating losses,  management  believes
that its current cash balance and credit  facility  will be  sufficient  to meet
operating requirements for the next twelve months.

Management  expects its cash  position to be  supplemented  further  through the
completion  of the sale of the  WorldLinkTM  product  technology  (see "Note 4 -
Subsequent Events").

Capital  expenditures  for  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996  were
approximately  $136,000.  Capital  expenditures  for the  balance  of  1996  are
anticipated to be approximately $150,000.

The Company  maintains a line of credit facility with a bank. Under the terms of
this line of credit facility the Company may borrow up to the lesser of $750,000
or 75% of eligible accounts receivable. The line of credit bears interest at the
bank's prime rate plus 1% and is personally  guaranteed  by the Company's  Chief
Executive Officer.
