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.

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

                        ATEC Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Background

      ATEC is a leading system integrator and provider of a full line of IT
service products. As a single source "end-to-end" solution provider for the
computer needs of businesses, professionals, government agencies and educational
institutions. ATEC enters the new millennium with a technological arsenal that
includes Year 2000 remediation, multimedia products, video conferencing, system
integration, networking, high speed data transmission, Internet, Intranet ready
solutions and personal computer manufacturing. In addition, the Company has
positioned itself for growth in telecommunications, out sourcing of IT
professionals, and offshore software development to provide its clients'
technological needs in a cost effective manner.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 compared to March 31, 1998

The Company's revenues for the third quarter ended March 31, 1999 decreased to
$22.8 million from $45.3 million for the prior year, a decrease of approximately
50%. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decline in wholesale revenues
due to increased price competition and direct sales by computer manufacturers.
Revenues are generated by the Company's sales of computer hardware and software,
and related support services. Gross margin for the period increased to $3.2
million for March 31, 1999 from $3.1 million for the comparable 1998 quarter, a
3% increase. Gross margins as a percentage of revenues for the three months were
14% as compared to 7% for the prior year. The increase is attributable to
growth in the software division. The Company's goal is to increase these margins
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.

March 31, 1999, operating expenses exclusive of amortization of intangible
assets increased to $3.1 million as compared to $1.7 million for the prior year.
The increase resulted from increased operating expenses in the software division
and setup costs relating to its electronic commerce operations and internet
services.

The provision for income taxes was $40,300 for the 1999 quarter as compared to
$644,075 for the 1998 period.

As a result of the above, the Company's net income was $60,596 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999, compared to a profit of $697,748 for the 1998
quarter. For the March 31, 1999 quarter, basic and diluted net income per share
was $.01 compared to $.12 in the prior year. Average shares (diluted)
outstanding were 8,201,818 for 1999 and 5,874,757 for 1998.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 1999 compared to March 31, 1998

Revenues for nine months ended March 31, 1999 decreased to $90.5 million from
$114.5 million for the prior year, a decrease of approximately 21%. This
decrease is primarily attributed to a decline in wholesale revenues due to
increased price competition and direct sales by computer manufacturers. Gross
margins were $9.0 million as compared to $8.6 million for the comparable period
of the prior year. Gross margins as a percentage of revenues for the nine months
were 10% as compared to 7.9% for the prior year. The increase in gross margins
are the result of higher margins in the software divisions. Operating expenses
increased to $8.4 million as compared to $5.4 million for the prior year. The
56% increase is attributed to increased operating expenses related to the
Company's software and internet services group. The provision for income taxes
was $189,800 for 1999 as compared to $1,509,255 for the prior year.

As a result of the above, the Company's net income decreased to $284,884 for the
nine months ended March 31, 1999, as compared to $1,635,026 for the prior year.
Primary and diluted net income per share was $.04 compared to $.28 in the prior
year. Average shares (diluted) outstanding were 7,976,312 for 1999 and 5,906,330
for 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's cash position was $0.3 million at March 31, 1999, a decrease of
$1.5 million compared to June 30, 1998. The Company's working capital at March
31, 1999 was $8.3 million as compared to a working capital of $8.3 million at
June 30, 1998. Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.8 million. Cash
used in investing activities totaled approximately $1.2 million, including the
purchase of Nexar technology for $968,000, the purchase of treasury stock of
$40,800 and purchase of property and equipment of $160,200.

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
March 31, 1999, indebtedness of the Company to Deutsche Financial was $2.9
million, a decrease of $4.1 million compared to June 30, 1998. Substantially,
all of subsidiary company tangible and intangible assets are pledged as
collateral for this facility.
