1.  Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Atec Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries which are
hereafter referred to as (the "Company"). All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q. 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, such interim
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations
and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for
these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes
included in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1998.

Stock Option Plan and Common Stock Purchase Warrants

In October 1998, the Company awarded 195,000 common stock purchase options to
employees under the 1997 Stock Option Plan at an exercise price of $3.375 per
share (the market price on the date of grant). On October 7, 1998, the Company
entered into a Financial Advisory and Investment Banking agreement with Prime
Charter Ltd. and issued 125,000 common stock purchase warrants at $3.50 per
share. Total outstanding common stock purchase options and warrants at September
30, 1998 were 7,350,630 at prices of $4.25 to $10.00 per share.

3.  Computation of Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding. Shares outstanding and earnings per share have
been restated to reflect the 1 for 5 stock split in November 1997.

4.  Goodwill

Goodwill is being amortized over its estimated period of benefit, not exceeding
fifteen years.

action by the former employee's wife for $2,000,000. The lawsuit is in the

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

                        ATEC Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Background

      ATEC Group, Inc. is a leading system integrator and provider of a full
line of information technology products and services to business, professionals,
government agencies and educational institutions. ATEC offers computer hardware,
software, connectivity devices, multimedia products, data communication via
satellite, video conferencing, Internet, Intranet and Y2K solutions to their
clients.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

September 30, 1998 compared to September 30, 1997

The Company's revenues for the first quarter ended September 30, 1998 increased
to $34.8 million from $33.0 million for the prior year, an increase of
approximately 5%. This increase is attributable to internal growth. Revenues are
generated by the Company's sales of computer hardware and software, and related
support services. Gross margin for the period increased to $3.3 million for
September 30, 1998 from $2.7 million for the comparable 1997 quarter, a 20%
increase due to the increased revenues and higher margin sales. Gross margins as
a percentage of revenues for the quarter were 9.3% as compared to 8.1% for the
prior year. These margins are expected to increase as the Company attempts to
increase its market share in more profitable sectors of the business such as
integration, hardware service/maintenance, networking, and training.

September 30, 1998 operating expenses exclusive of amortization of intangible
assets increased to $2.9 million as compared to $1.9 million for the prior year.
The increase is for expenses attributable to the Logix Solutions increasing
division personnel from five employees to over 30 and charges related to a
terminated merger. Amortization of intangible assets increased to $75,000 for
the quarter from $60,000 in the comparable 1997 period. The provision for income
taxes was $113,000 for the 1998 quarter as compared to $340,500 for 1997
quarter.

As a result of the above, the Company's net income was $200,814 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $471,103 for the 1997 quarter. For
the September 30, 1998 quarter, net income per share was $.03 compared to $.08
in the prior year. The decrease in net income is attributed to costs related to
a terminated acquisition ($30,400) and losses of $371,840 for the software
division net of tax benefit or $.06 per share. Shares outstanding increased due
to the April 1998 acquisition of Logix Solutions and shares sold in a private
placement. Average diluted outstanding were 7,192,285 for 1998 and 5,871,718 for
1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash position was $3,375,415 at September 30, 1998, an increase of
$1,590,565 as compared to June 30, 1998. The Company's working capital at
September 30, 1998 was $8,561,643 as compared to a working capital of $8,314,328
at June 30, 1998. The increase in working capital primarily resulted from
increased profits. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,498,409 due
to decreases in accounts receivable and liabilities. Cash used for investing
activities totaled $5,958 for the purchase of property and equipment.

To accommodate the Company's financial needs for inventory financing, Deutsche
Financial Service has granted a credit line in the amount of $7 million. At
September 30, 1998, indebtedness of the Company to Deutsche Financial was
$6,096,826, a decrease of $901,886 compared to June 30, 1998. Substantially all
company tangible and intangible assets are pledged as collateral for this
facility.
