1.  CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Atec Group, Inc. and its 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, 1999.

5.  LITIGATION

On or about  August 23, 1999 and October 14,  1999,  respectively,  two putative
shareholder class actions were filed in the United States District Court for the
Eastern  District of New York on behalf of all persons whom purchased our common
stock from October 12,  1998,  through May 19, 1999,  inclusive.  The  complaint
charges us and certain of our officers and  directors of  violations of sections
10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C.  ss.ss.  78j(b) & 781(a), and SEC
Rule 10b-5, 17 C.F.R. ss. 240.10b-5,  promulgated  thereunder.  The actions have
been  consolidated.  Plaintiffs  seek to represent all persons who purchased our
common stock between October 12, 1998 and May 19, 1999.  Plaintiffs  allege that
we and the  individual  defendants  issued  a  series  of  allegedly  false  and
misleading  statements  regarding our growth plans and that we were  purportedly
positioning  ourself for a sale to a larger company.  Plaintiffs seek to recover
damages on behalf of all plaintiffs.

In October 1999, we commenced an action against  defendants,  Rita Dozal,  Frank
Dozal and  Michelle  O'Mahoney  for breach of contract  alleging  damages in the
aggregate  of  $2,131,365  against  defendants.  It is alleged  that  defendants
breached the terms of the contract by selling shares underlying  certain options
before they were entitled to do so under the terms of the contract.  In December
1999,  the  defendants  counter  claimed  for  $9,800,000  in damages  for:  (a)
fraudulent  and  economic  coercion;  (b) breach of  contract;  and (c) wrongful
termination  of  employment  against  Rita  Dozal.  The  action was filed in the
Supreme Court, New York County. The action is still in the preliminary stage and
discovery has not commenced.

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

                        ATEC GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
BACKGROUND

         ATEC  Group,  Inc.  is a PC  manufacturer  of Nexar XPA  technology,  a
leading system integrator and provider of a full line of information  technology
products  and  services.  As a  one-stop  company  for  the  computer  needs  of
businesses,  professionals,  government  agencies and educational  institutions,
ATEC enters the new millennium  with a  technological  arsenal that includes Y2K
remediation  solutions,  computer  hardware,  software,   connectivity  devices,
multimedia  products,  data  communication  via satellite,  video  conferencing,
system  integration  networking,  high speed data  transmission,  graphic  arts,
Internet and Intranet.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1998

         The Company's  revenues for the second  quarter ended December 31, 1999
decreased to $17.5  million from $32.7 million for the prior year, a decrease of
approximately  46%. This decrease is attributable to a significant drop in sales
in our  distribution  division and a major shift in the marketing  philosophy of
large systems  manufacturers  that are gradually  decreasing their  distribution
network  and   increasingly   selling  directly  to  end-users  and  introducing
build-to-order  systems.  Revenues  are  generated  by the  Company's  sales  of
computer hardware and software,  and related support services.  Gross margin for
the period increased to $3.1 million for December 31, 1999 from $2.5 million for
the  comparable  1998 quarter,  a 24% increase due to higher margin sales in the
software  division.  Gross  margins as a percentage  of revenues for the quarter
were 17.6% as compared to 7.6% for the prior year.

         December  31, 1999  operating  expenses  exclusive of  amortization  of
intangible  assets increased to $2.8 million as compared to $2.4 million for the
prior year. The increase is primarily for additional employees and compensation.
Amortization  of  intangible  assets  decreased  to $22,500 for the quarter from
$105,000 in the  comparable  1998  period.  The  provision  for income taxes was
$91,200 for the 1999 quarter as compared to $36,500 for the 1998 quarter.

         As a result of the above, the Company's net income was $136,251 for the
three months ended  December 31, 1999  compared to $23,474 for the 1998 quarter.
For the  December 31, 1999  quarter,  basic and diluted net income per share was
$.02 compared to $.00 in the prior year. Average diluted shares outstanding were
7,301,374 for 1999 and 7,192,285 for 1998.

SIX MONTHS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1998

         Revenues for the six months ended  December 31, 1999 decreased to $37.7
million from $67.6 million for the prior year, a decrease of approximately  44%.
This decrease is attributable to a significant drop in sales in our distribution
division  and a  major  shift  in the  marketing  philosophy  of  large  systems
manufacturers  that are  gradually  decreasing  their  distribution  network and
increasingly  selling  directly  to  end-users  and  introducing  build-to-order
systems.  Revenues are generated by the Company's sales of computer hardware and
software, and related support services. Gross margin for the period increased to
$6.9  million for  December  31, 1999 from 5.7 million for the  comparable  1998
quarter,  a 21%  increase due to higher  margin sales in the software  division.
Gross  margins as a percentage  of revenues for the quarter were 18% as compared
to 9% for the prior year.

         December 31, 1999 operating  expenses for the six months,  exclusive of
amortization of intangible assets, increased to $6.2 million as compared to $5.2
million for the prior year. The increase is primarily for  additional  employees
and  compensation.  Amortization of intangible  assets decreased to $45,000 from
$180,000 in the  comparable  1998  period.  The  provision  for income taxes was
$285,800 for the 1999 period as compared to $149,500 for the prior year.

         As a result  of the  above,  the  Company's  net  income  increased  to
$406,380 for the six months ended  December 31, 1999 as compared to $224,287 for
the prior year.  Primary  and diluted net income per share was $.06  compared to
$.03 for the prior year.  Average diluted shares  outstanding were 7,301,374 for
1999 and 7,192,285 for 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The  Company's  cash  position was  $2,323,368 at December 31, 1999, an
increase of $76,417 as compared to June 30, 1999. The Company's  working capital
at December 31, 1999 was $9,153,503 as compared to working capital of $9,133,544
at June 30, 1999. Net cash provided by operating  activities was $235,638.  Cash
used for investing  activities  totaled $92,363 for the purchase of property and
equipment.  During the period the Company  purchased  123,900  common shares for
$301,905.

         To accommodate the Company's  financial needs for inventory  financing,
Deutsche Financial Service has granted a credit line of $7 million.  At December
31, 1999,  indebtedness  of the Company to Deutsche  Financial was  $1,867,676 a
decrease  of  $66,858  compared  to June 30,  1999.  Substantially  all  company
tangible and intangible assets are pledged as collateral for this facility.
