                     THE NETPLEX GROUP, INC. AND SUBIDIARIES
            Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  June 30, 1997


(1)   GENERAL:
      The accompanying  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
      The Netplex  Group,  Inc. and  Subsidiaries  ( "Netplex" or the "Company")
      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,  certain
      information  and  note  disclosures  normally  included  in the  financial
      statements  presented in accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
      principles  have been  condensed  or  omitted.  The Company  believes  the
      disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented consistent
      with past  practices.  However,  these  condensed  consolidated  financial
      statements  should be read in conjunction with the consolidated  financial
      statements  and notes thereto  included in the Company's  annual report on
      Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

      In the opinion of the Company,  the  accompanying  condensed  consolidated
      financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications  (which
      include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
      financial  position of the Company as of June 30,  1997 and  December  31,
      1996 and the  results of its  operations  and its cash flows for the three
      and six  months  ended June 30,  1997 and 1996.  Interim  results  are not
      necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
      year ended December 31, 1997.

      BUSINESS:
      Netplex provides  professional  technical services that help organizations
      build, manage and protect networked information systems with the following
      Network Enabling Services:  Virtual Network  Integration,  Network Systems
      Management,  Support Center Management,  Contingency Planning, Information
      Security  and  Staff   Augmentation.   By  providing   the  expertise  and
      information systems to link employees, customers, prospects, suppliers and
      manufacturers,    Netplex   helps   customers    "network-enable"    their
      organization.

      Prior to the  merger  discussed  in  further  detail in note 2 below,  the
      Company  was  in  the  computer  software   development  and  distribution
      business.  The Company ceased all software  development  and  distribution
      activities with the sale of the WorldLink  product  technology in December
      1996.

      BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
      The  accompanying  financial  statements  include the  accounts of Netplex
      Systems,  Inc. (formerly The Netplex Group, Inc.) America's Work Exchange,
      Inc. and its wholly  owned  subsidiary  Software  Resources of New Jersey,
      Inc.  for the three  and six  months  ended  June 30,  1997 and 1996.  The
      accounts of The Netplex Group, Inc. (formerly CompLink, Ltd.) are included
      for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and for the month of June
      1996,  as the merger  (discussed in note 2 below) was completed on May 31,
      1996. The accounts of Technology  Development Systems, Inc. (TDS) are also
      included for the month of June 1996 due to the merger.  The  operations of
      TDS were  discontinued in December 1996 with the completion of the sale of
      the WorldLink product technology.

      EARNINGS (LOSS) 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.  The effect of average
      common stock equivalents  (stock options and warrants)  outstanding during
      the period has not been considered,  as their effect on the computation is
      not dilutive.


                                      (6)
<PAGE>
      Weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended June
      30, 1997 and 1996 were  6,577,870  and  4,019,037,  respectively  and were
      6,157,750  and  3,608,322 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
      respectively.

(2)   THE MERGER:
      On June 7, 1996 the Company  (formerly  known as "CompLink")  acquired and
      merged  with  The  Netplex   Group,   Inc.  and  America's  Work  Exchange
      (collectively referred to as "Netplex") in a reverse merger transaction by
      issuing approximately 3,245,000 shares of its common stock or 50.4% of the
      outstanding stock after giving effect for the merger. CompLink also issued
      options to purchase  1,691,000  shares of its common stock in exchange for
      outstanding options to purchase Netplex common stock.

      The merger was accounted for under the purchase  method of accounting as a
      reverse  merger,  since the  shareholders  of  Netplex,  which had  common
      control,  received the larger portion of the voting rights of the combined
      entity.  As a result  Netplex  was  deemed  the  acquirer  for  accounting
      purposes.

      The mergers  resulted in a  recapitalization  of the Company,  so that the
      resulting  capitalization  of the  Company  after  the  merger  is that of
      CompLink's  giving effect to the issuance of new shares and elimination of
      CompLink's  deficit.  In addition,  the par value of the Company's  common
      stock was decreased from $0.01 per share to $0.001 per share.

      Prior to the merger the Company's fiscal year end was changed from July 31
      to December 31. Coincident with the merger, the Company's name was changed
      from  CompLink,  Ltd. to The Netplex  Group,  Inc. The entity known as The
      Netplex  Group,  Inc.  prior to the  merger,  changed  its name to Netplex
      Systems, Inc.

(3)   LINE OF CREDIT:
      The Company entered into a new line of credit facility with a bank on July
      2, 1997. This line of credit  facility  provides for advances of up to 80%
      of  eligible  accounts  receivable  (as  defined in the  agreement)  up to
      $2,000,000.  Amounts  outstanding  on the  line of  credit  facility  bear
      interest at the bank's prime rate plus 0.75%.  The line of credit facility
      expires on July 1, 1998.

      The new line of credit facility  replaced the line of credit facility with
      a bank that expired on July 1, 1997,  which  allowed for advances of up to
      75% of eligible  accounts  receivable  (as defined in the agreement) up to
      $750,000 and was personally  guaranteed by the Chief Executive  Officer of
      the Company.  Amounts  outstanding  under the line of credit facility were
      charged interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1.0%.

      The  Company  had no  outstanding  borrowings  under  its  line of  credit
      facilities as of June 30, 1997 or December 31, 1996.

(4)   CLASS A CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK:
      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 consisted 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
      stock at any time, at the  discretion of the holder.  The preferred  stock
      earns cumulative  dividends at 10% per annum, payable on a quarterly basis
      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, 




                                      (7)
<PAGE>

      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.

      The common stock warrants are presently  exercisable  until  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.

      The  registration  of the shares  underlying the conversion of the Class A
      Preferred Stock to common stock and the exercise of the underlying  common
      stock warrants was completed in November 1996.

      As of June 30, 1997, preferred  shareholders have converted 100,000 shares
      of the Class A  preferred  stock  into  common  stock.  No  holders of the
      Company's  preferred  stock have  exercised  their  warrants.  The Company
      declared cash dividends  payable to the holders of record of its preferred
      stock on  January  15 and April 15 of $.056 per share and $0.05 per share,
      respectively.  The Company had accrued  dividends payable of approximately
      $98,000 and $82,500 at December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1997, respectively.

(4)   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
      In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (FASB) issued
      Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No.128,  "Earnings per
      Share", which is effective for all interim and annual periods ending after
      December 15, 1997. This statement replaces  "primary" and  "fully-diluted"
      earnings per share (EPS) with "basic" and "diluted" EPS on the face of the
      statement of operations.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS
      No. 128 to have a material effect on its financial  position or results of
      operations.

      In February  1997,  FASB issued SFAS No. 129,  "Disclosure  of Information
      about Capital  Structure"  which is effective for the year ending December
      31, 1998. This statement  continues the previous  requirements to disclose
      certain   information   about  an  entity's  capital  structure  found  in
      Accounting  Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 10, "Omnibus Opinion -1966"
      and No. 15, "Earnings per Share" and FASB Statement No. 47, "Disclosure of
      Long-Term  Obligations."  The Company has been subject to the requirements
      of those  standards  and as a result does not expect the  adoption of SFAS
      No. 129 to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

      In June 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 130 "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income",
      which is effective for the year ending  December 31, 1998.  This statement
      establishes  standards  for the  reporting  and  display of  comprehensive
      income and its components in the financial statements. Earlier application
      of this standard is permitted;  however, upon adoption the Company will be
      required to reclassify  previously  reported annual and interim  financial
      statements.  The Company  believes that the  disclosure  of  comprehensive
      income in accordance  with the  provisions of SFAS No. 130 will impact the
      manner of  presentation  of its  financial  statements  as  currently  and
      previously reported.

      In June 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures about Segments of an
      Enterprise  and  Related  Information",  which is  effective  for the year
      ending  December 31, 1998.  This statement  requires  companies to present
      certain  information  about  operating  segments and related  information,
      including  geographic  and major  customer  data, in its annual  financial
      statements and in condensed financial  statements for interim periods. The
      Company  does not  believe  that the  adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have a
      material impact on its financial statements.

ITEM  2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The Netplex Group, Inc. (the "Company") provides professional technical services
that help organizations build, manage and protect networked information systems.
The Company  provides the expertise and  information  systems to link employees,
customers,  prospects,  suppliers  and  manufacturers  to help  "network-enable"
organizations. Netplex provides the following network enabling services: Virtual
Network  Integration,  Network Systems  Management,  Support Center  Management,
Contingency Planning, Information Security and Staff Augmentation. Occasionally,
the Company must re-sell technology products in order to deliver customers fully
integrated system-solutions as part of its service offerings.

The Company is headquartered  in McLean,  Virginia and has branch offices in the
New York City, Central New Jersey, and Chicago metropolitan markets.

In June 1996, the Company (formerly known as CompLink, Ltd.) acquired and merged
(the  "Merger")  with  America's  Work  Exchange,  its wholly  owned  subsidiary
Software  Resources of New Jersey,  and The Netplex  Group,  Inc.  (collectively
referred  to  as  "Netplex")  in  a  reverse   merger   transaction  by  issuing
approximately  3,245,000  shares of Common Stock, or 50.4% of the Company's then
outstanding  Common  Stock  after  giving  effect  for the  Merger.  The  Merger
agreement provided for the Company to issue options to purchase 1,691,000 shares
of the  Company's  Common  Stock in exchange  for options to purchase  1,691,000
shares of  Netplex's  Common  Stock.  As a result,  Netplex was  considered  the
acquirer for accounting purposes.

The  assets  and  liabilities  of  CompLink  and its  wholly  owned  subsidiary,
Technology Development Systems (TDS) were recorded by the Company at merger date
at book value which  approximated fair value. At Merger,  CompLink's  operations
consisted primarily of the distribution of WorldLink remote and mobile workforce
automation software developed by TDS.

In  December  1996,  the  Company  completed  the  sale of its  interest  in the
WorldLink  product  technology and discontinued the operations of TDS. Since the
completion  of the sale,  the Company's  operations  have been  concentrated  on
providing technical services to users of networked information systems.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company  operates in a single business  segment as a provider of Information
Technology  Services.  These  services  are  delivered  to  customers in several
formats  ranging from  fixed-price  projects to consulting  engagements to staff
augmentation  assignments  (which  include  an  array  of  independent  employee
services).  The Company  occasionally resells technology products in conjunction
with the delivery of services it provides.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND JUNE 30, 1996
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were approximately  $9,930,000
compared to approximately $7,610,000 for the same period in 1996, an increase of
$2,320,000 or 30%. The increase is primarily  the net result of increased  sales
of staff augmentation services of approximately $2,840,000, offset by, decreased
product  resales of  approximately  $243,000  and the  elimination  of WorldLink
software license  revenues of $121,000  resulting from the Company's sale of the
WorldLink product in December 1996.

Gross Profit  decreased by approximately  $18,000 to approximately  $964,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to  approximately  $982,000 for
the same period in 1996.  The  decreased  gross profit is  primarily  due to the
elimination the WorldLink software license revenues which decreased gross profit
by $45,000.

Gross  Margin  decreased to 10% in the three months ended June 30, 1997 from 13%
for the comparable  period in 1996.  This  decrease results  primarily  from the
increase in independent  employee  service revenues which generate lower margins
than  other  staff  augmentation  services  provided  by  the  as  well  as  the
elimination of the WorldLink software license revenue as discussed above.

Selling,  general and administrative expense increased approximately $166,000 to
approximately  $1,737,000  during  the three  months  ended  June 30,  1997 from
approximately  $1,571,000  for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The primary
reason for the increase in selling,  general and administrative  expenses is the
additional  marketing  support,  expansion of the sales and  recruiting  forces,
additional  information  systems  capacity and  corporate  support that occurred
after the Merger.  Selling,  general and administrative expenses for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996 included the post-merger  operating  expenses of TDS and the
associated   development   costs  for  the  WorldLink   software  which  totaled
approximately  $300,000  for the  period.  In  addition,  selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was  favorably
impacted  by the  reversal  of  approximately  $400,000  in  accruals  for costs
associated with the sale of the WorldLink software.

Operating  losses were  approximately  $773,000  for the quarter  ended June 30,
1997,  compared to $589,000 for the same period of the prior year,  an increased
loss of $184,000. The components of this increased loss are discussed above.

Other income(expense)  increased  approximately $35,000 to approximately $31,000
for the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1997  from  $4,000  of other  expense  in the
comparable 1996 period. This increase is primarily due to interest earned on the
Company's  cash balances  obtained  primarily from the sale of WorldLink and the
Company's private placement transaction.

No provisions for income taxes were required for the three months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996, due to the net loss for the period then ended.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND JUNE 30, 1996
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were  approximately  $19,709,000
compared to  approximately  $15,786,000 for the same period in 1996, an increase
of $3,922,000 or 25%. The increase is the result of increased  services revenues
of approximately $4,768,000 offset by decreased product resales of approximately
$725,000 and the elimination of $121,000 of WorldLink software license revenues.

Gross Profit increased  $42,000 to  approximately  $1,898,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 as compared to approximately  $1,856,000 for the same period
in 1996. The increased  gross profit is primarily the result of increased  sales
of staff  augmentation  services offset in part by decreased product resales and
WorldLink software license revenues.

Gross Margin decreased to 10% in the six months ended June 30, 1997 from 12% for
the comparable period in 1996. This decrease results primarily from the increase
in independent employee service revenues which generate lower margins than other
staff  augmentation  services provided by the Company as well as the elimination
of the WorldLink software license revenue as discussed above.

Selling,  general and administrative expense increased by approximately $744,000
to  approximately  $3,445,000  during  the six months  ended June 30,  1997 from
approximately  $2,701,000  for the six months ended June 30,  1996.  The primary
reason for the increase in selling,  general and administrative  expenses is the
additional  marketing  support,  expansion of the sales and  recruiting  forces,
additional  information  systems  capacity and  corporate  support that occurred
after the Merger.  Selling,  general and administrative  expenses for six months
ended June 30, 1996 included the post-merger  operating  expenses of TDS and the

June 30, 1997 was favorably  impacted by the reversal of approximately  $400,000
in accruals for costs associated with the sale of the WorldLink software.

Operating losses were approximately $1,547,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1997,  compared to $845,000 for the same period of the prior year,  an increased
loss of $702,000. The components of this increased loss are discussed above.

Other income (expense) increased by approximately  $42,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1997 to other income of  approximately  $40,000  from other  expense of
$2,000  in 1996.  This  increase  is  primarily  due to  interest  earned on the
Company's  cash balances  obtained  primarily from the sale of WorldLink and the
Company's private placement transaction.

No  provisions  for income taxes were required for the six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996, due to the net loss for the period then ended.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1997,  the Company has cash and cash  equivalents  of  approximately
$1,245,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997 the Company's  operating  activities used
approximately  $2.2 million of the Company's cash. This cash usage was primarily
the result of the  Company's  net loss of  approximately  $1.5  million  for the
period and the effect of  decreased  accounts  payable and accrued  expenses and
deferred revenues.

The Company  funded its  operations,  purchased  property  and  equipment,  made
payments on its capital  lease  obligations  and made  dividend  payments to the
shareholders  of its Class A preferred stock by using the cash it had on hand at
December 31, 1996 and cash received from the exercise of stock options.

At December 31,  1996,  the Company had a bank line of credit that allowed it to
borrow 75% of its eligible accounts  receivable up to $750,000  borrowings under
the line of credit were subject to interest at the bank's prime rate of interest
plus 1.0%.  On July 1,  1997,  the credit  line was  increased  to the lesser of
$2,000,000 or 80% of eligible accounts receivable.  Borrowings under the line of
credit bear interest at the bank's prime rate of interest plus 0.75%.

The Company has no  outstanding  balance on its line of credit  facility at June
30, 1997 or December 31, 1996 and it has no long-term debt.

Capital  expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were  approximately
$62,000.  Capital  expenditures  for the balance of 1997 are  anticipated  to be
approximately $100,000.

The  Company  is  expected  to incur  operating  losses  until such time that it
attains higher levels of productivity  from 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 end of 1997. The Company will continue to make  significant
investments in marketing,  training and infrastructure to increase productivity,
build its core  competency  technical  staff skill base and foster growth of its
operations.

The Company  anticipates  that the cash on hand will not be adequate to meet the
Company's  expected  cash  requirements  for the next 12 months.  The Company is
assessing  its  cash  needs  and  evaluating  alternative  ways to  obtain  this
additional  cash.  The  Company  will  seek  to  enter  into  a  transaction  or
transactions  to raise  additional  cash  during the third or fourth  quarter of
1997, however, there is no assurance that additional financing will be available
to the Company.

(1)  The Company's convertible preferred stock is not a common stock equivalent.

(2)  Fully -diluted EPS is within 3% of Primary EPS and is,thus, not required to
     be disclosed on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

(3)  As the  Company is in a net loss  position  the effect of all  options  and
     warrants,  including common stock  equivalents is anti-dilutive and is thus
     not presented in the computations of loss per common share.
