                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (UNAUDITED)

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of CIBER, Inc. and 
subsidiaries ("CIBER" or the "Company") have been prepared without audit. 
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in consolidated 
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles have been omitted.  These consolidated financial 
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated 
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Current 
Report on Form 8-K dated December 12, 1996.  However, such audited 
consolidated financial statements included in Form 8-K have not been restated 
for the Technology Management Group, Inc. and Technical Support Group, Inc. 
poolings of interests discussed in Note 2.  In the opinion of management, 
these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments 
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of 
operations for the periods presented.

Pro forma net income has been presented because certain companies, which have 
merged with CIBER in business combinations accounted for as poolings of 
interests, were S corporations and generally not subject to income taxes. 
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been included in the 
consolidated financial statements for the operations of these companies prior 
to their merger with CIBER.  The pro forma adjustment to income taxes has 
been computed as if the merged companies had been taxable entities subject to 
income taxes for all periods prior to their merger with CIBER at the marginal 
rates applicable in such periods. In addition, the pro forma adjustment to 
income tax expense has been affected to exclude the one-time tax expense or 
benefit resulting from changes in the tax status of these merged companies.  

The computation of weighted average common and common equivalent shares 
includes the shares and options issued in connection with business 
combinations accounted for as a pooling of interests as if they had been 
outstanding for all periods prior to the merger.

Inventories, which consist of computer networking equipment and supplies, are 
stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method.

(2)  POOLINGS OF INTERESTS

Since June 30, 1996, the following companies have merged with CIBER in 
business combinations accounted for as poolings of interests.  Accordingly, 
the Company's financial statements have been restated for all periods prior 
to the respective merger to include the results of operations, financial 
position, and cash flows of the merged companies.

TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT GROUP, INC. ("TMG") - On November 26, 1996, the Company 
issued 242,179 shares of its common stock and granted options for 163,007 
shares of the Company's common stock (at an aggregate exercise price of 
$547,000) in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of common stock and 
the cancellation of options of TMG.  The CIBER stock options replaced 
existing TMG stock options. TMG, located in Seattle, Washington, provides 
consulting services similar to CIBER.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT GROUP, INC. ("TSG") - On November 27, 1996, the Company 
issued 370,376 shares of its common stock and assumed all of TSG's liabilities 
in exchange for all of the assets of TSG.  TSG, located in Chicago, Illinois, 
provided consulting services similar to CIBER.  Prior to its merger with the 
Company, TSG had elected S Corporation status for federal income tax purposes 
and was generally not subject to income taxes.  Upon TSG's merger with CIBER, 
CIBER has recorded a one-time income tax expense of $515,000 to record the 
net deferred tax liability of TSG at the merger date.

                                (UNAUDITED)

SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. ("SPECTRUM") - On September 3, 1996, the 
Company issued 853,116 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the 
outstanding common stock of Spectrum.  Spectrum, located in Somerville, New 
Jersey, provides management consulting solutions to business problems, 
specifically in the areas of data warehousing, data modeling and enterprise 
architecture, as well as project management and systems integration services.

During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, Spectrum elected S corporation 
status for federal income tax purposes, effective for its tax year ended 
December 31, 1995.  As an S corporation, Spectrum was generally not subject 
to income taxes.  As a result of the change in Spectrum's tax status, income 
tax expense for the year ended June 30, 1996 includes a one-time tax benefit 
of $818,000, resulting from the elimination of Spectrum's net deferred tax 
liability. Thereafter, no provision for income taxes is included for the 
operations of Spectrum prior to its merger with CIBER.  Upon Spectrum's 
merger with CIBER, Spectrum's S corporation status was terminated and CIBER 
has recorded a one-time income tax expense of $1,202,000 to record the net 
deferred tax liability of Spectrum at the merger date.

(3)  ACQUISITIONS

On March 14, 1997 the Company acquired the business operations and certain 
assets of Davis, Thomas & Associates, Inc. ("DTA") for $13.5 million, 
consisting of $13.2 million in cash and the assumption of $277,000 of 
liabilities.  The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase.  
Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements include the 
results of operations of this acquired business since the date of 
acquisition.  The Company has recorded goodwill of $13.1 million related to 
this acquisition, which will be amortized over 15 years.  DTA, with offices 
in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Chicago, Illinois provided services similar to 
CIBER.  The Minneapolis office has become part of the Company's CIS division 
while the Chicago office has become part of the Company's subsidiary, CIBER 
Network Services, Inc.

Had the acquisition of DTA occured at the beginning of the respective periods, 
revenues would have been increased by approximately $12.9 million and $9.0 
million, for the year ended June 30, 1996 and for the nine months ended March 
31, 1997, respectively.  The effects on pro forma net income and pro forma 
income per common share would not have been material.

On December 2, 1996, the Company acquired CIBER Network Services, Inc. 
("CNSI"), which was majority owned by certain officers of the Company, for 
consideration of $3.7 million, consisting of 68,631 shares of the Company's 
common stock and $1.2 million in cash.  In addition, the Company assumed net 
liabilities of $772,000, resulting in a total purchase price of $4.5 million. 
Additionally, contingent consideration of up to $2.6 million will be paid to 
the sellers if CNSI achieves certain performance objectives in each of the 
12-month periods ending October 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999.  The contingent 
consideration, if earned, will be payable at the sellers' option in the 
Company's common stock, at the then prevailing market price, or in cash.  
This acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase.  The Company has 
recorded goodwill of $4.5 million, which will be amortized over 15 years.  
Any contingent consideration paid will be accounted for as additional 
goodwill.  For income tax purposes, this acquisition was a non-taxable 
transaction.  CNSI, which has offices in Edison, NJ, Denver, CO, and San 
Francisco, CA, provides local and wide-area networking solutions, including 
design, procurement, installation, testing, and maintenance.  The results of 
operations of CNSI after the acquisition date are included in the Company's 
consolidated statement of operations.  

Had the acquisition of CNSI occurred at the beginning of the respective 
periods, revenues would have been increased by approximately $18.3 million 
and $8.1 million, for the year ended June 30, 1996 and for the nine months 
ended March 31, 1997, respectively.  The effects on pro forma net income and 
pro forma income per common share would not have been material.

In July 1996, the Company acquired certain assets, liabilities and all of the 
business operations of the Business Systems Development division of 
DataFocus, Inc., Fairfax, Virginia, a subsidiary of KTI, Inc. This 
acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase.  Pro forma results of 
operations have not been presented because the

                                (UNAUDITED)

effects were not material to revenues or net income. The aggregate purchase 
price was $5.0 million, of which $4.8 million has been allocated to goodwill 
and $229,000 has been allocated to other net assets.  This division, now 
known as Spectrum NT, provides Microsoft technology-based computer software 
consulting services.

A summary of cash paid for acquisitions during the nine months ended March 31,
1997 is as follows (in thousands):

           Goodwill                                 $22,504

(5)  REVOLVING LINES OF CREDIT

In March 1997 the Company renewed its bank revolving line of credit.  Under 
the terms of the new credit agreement the Company may borrow up to $20 
million. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at the three month London 
Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2%.  Borrowings are unsecured.  The 
credit agreement requires a commitment fee of 0.225% per annum on any unused 
portion of the line of credit up to $15 million.  The credit agreement 
expires in December 1997. The terms and conditions of the credit agreement 
include several covenants, including those whereby the Company agrees to the 
maintenance of a certain tangible net worth and debt service coverage ratios 
among other things.  Amounts advanced under the line of credit can be used to 
consummate an acquisition and may be required by the bank to be converted 
into a five-year term note payable in equal amounts of interest and 
principal; in such event, the line of credit would be reduced by the amount 
of the term note.

The Company also has $3.0 million inventory financing line of credit with 
AT&T Capital Corporation.  This line of credit expires in October 1997 and is 
guaranteed by certain assets of the Company.  The Company's subsidiary, CNSI, 
purchases inventory from various vendors who obtain payment directly from 
AT&T Capital Corporation.  CNSI then pays AT&T Capital Corporation within 30 
days of invoice.  Amounts outstanding under this line of credit, which 
totaled $1.2 million at March 31, 1997, are included in accounts payable on 
the Company's balance sheet.

(6)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Prior to the acquisition of CNSI on December 2, 1996 (see note 3), the Company
was a guarantor on a $3.0 million inventory wholesale financing line of credit
with AT&T Capital Corporation to CNSI.  CNSI was majority owned by certain
officers of the Company.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company
assumed CNSI's liability under this line of credit that had an outstanding
balance of approximately $1.1 million at December 2, 1996.  Certain officers of
the Company had also guaranteed this line of credit and had indemnified the
Company against losses that might be incurred as a result of its guaranty.  As a
result of the acquisition of CNSI by CIBER, the officers of CIBER were released
from the guarantees and indemnifications related to this line of credit. The
Company's Chairman had also guaranteed CNSI's $2.5 million bank revolving line
of credit.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company repaid and canceled
CNSI's bank revolving line of credit, which had an outstanding balance of $1.9
million at December 2, 1996.  The Company also repaid approximately $898,000 of
notes payable by CNSI to the Company's Chairman and his family.

OVERVIEW

The Company's revenues are generated from two services groups, the CIBER
Information Services group ("CIS") and the Strategic Technology Consulting group
("STC").  CIS revenues in fiscal 1996 accounted for approximately 77% of the
Company's total revenues, while STC revenues accounted for the remainder.  CIS
revenues are derived from the application software development and maintenance
services that are provided from the branch offices of the CIS division and the
Company's work in millennium date change solutions under its "CIBR2000"
division.  STC revenues are derived from services provided by the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Spectrum Technology Group, Inc. ("Spectrum"),
Business Information Technology, Inc. ("BIT") and CIBER Network Services, Inc.
("CNSI").  Spectrum provides management consulting solutions to business
problems, specifically in the areas of data warehousing, data modeling and
enterprise architecture.  Spectrum also has responsibility for the Company's
Microsoft-based technology consulting, now known as Spectrum NT.  BIT provides
package software implementation services, primarily for customers of PeopleSoft,
Inc.  CNSI provides a wide range of local-area and wide-area network solutions,
from design and procurement to installation and maintenance with services
including Internet and intranet connectivity.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Over the past several years, the Company has grown significantly through mergers
and acquisitions, as well as through internal growth.  Growth from internal
operations (measured in terms of number of employees) has averaged approximately
22% per year since fiscal 1992 and was 23% in fiscal 1996.  The Company's
acquisitions involve the capitalization of intangible assets, which intangible
assets are generally amortized over two to 15 years for financial reporting
purposes and 15 years for tax purposes, provided that the acquisition is not a
tax-free reorganization.  In the event of a tax-free reorganization, the Company
may not be able to amortize goodwill for income tax purposes.  In addition, the
Company's consolidated financial statements included the results of operations
of each acquired business since the date of acquisition.  Mergers result in a
one-time charge in the period in which the transaction is completed for costs
associated with the business combination.  In addition, selling, general and
administrative expenses may vary as a percentage of revenues depending on the
fluctuations in the selling, general and administrative expenses of merged
companies, if any, during any given period.  The Company's consolidated
financial statements are restated for all periods prior to the merger to include
the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the merged
company.

Since December 31, 1996, the Company completed the following business 
combination:

On March 14, 1997 the Company acquired the business operations and certain
assets of Davis, Thomas & Associates, Inc. ("DTA") for $13.5 million, consisting
of $13.2 million in cash and the assumption of $277,000 of liabilities.  The
acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase.  The company has recorded
goodwill of $13.1 million related to this acquisition, which will be amortized
over 15 years.  DTA, with offices in Minneapolis, MN and Chicago, IL provided
services similar to CIBER.  The Minneapolis office has become a branch office of
the Company's CIS division while the Chicago office has become part of CNSI.

                                       9 
<PAGE>

Had the acquisition of DTA occurred at the beginning of the respective periods,
revenues would have been increased by approximately $12.9 million and $9.0
million, for the year ended June 30, 1996 and for the nine months ended March
31, 1997, respectively.  The effects on pro forma net income and pro forma
earnings per common share would not have been material.

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AS COMPARED TO THREE AND NINE MONTHS
ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

The Company's total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 increased
44% to $69.7 million from $48.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. 
For the three months ended March 31, 1997, CIS revenues increased 29% to $47.4
million from $36.8 million for the same quarter of last year and STC revenues
increased 94% to $22.3 million from $11.5 million for the same quarter of last
year.  CIS revenues accounted for 68.0% and 76.1% of total revenues for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.   

The Company's total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 increased
36% to $183.4 million from $133.3 million for the same period last year.  CIS
revenues increased 29% to $132.4 million from $102.4 million for the same period
last year and STC revenues increased 65% to $51.0 million from $30.9 million for
the same period last year.  CIS revenues accounted for 72.2% and 76.8% of total
revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

The increase in CIS revenues was derived primarily from increases in hours
billed and, to a lesser extent, an increase in average billing rates. The
increase in hours billed was due primarily to internal growth in branch offices
and the inclusion, for all of fiscal 1997 to date, of the operations of the
Minnesota branch and the Columbus branch, which were acquired during fiscal
1996, and the inclusion of the Minneapolis branch which was acquired with DTA in
March 1997.  These branches accounted for approximately $1.0 million and $3.0
million of additional revenues for the three and nine month periods ended March
31, 1997, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior
year. STC revenues have increased primarily due to increased volume of customers
implementing PeopleSoft, Inc. software, increased national management level
consulting sales, increased project responsibilities for existing clients and
the acquisitions of Spectrum NT in July 1996 and CNSI in December 1996. 
Spectrum NT and CNSI (including the CNSI Chicago office that was acquired with
the acquisition of DTA in March 1997) accounted for additional revenues of
approximately $12.2 million and $8.2 million during the three and nine month
periods ended March 31, 1997, respectively.

Salaries, wages and other direct costs, which consist primarily of consultant
wages, payroll taxes, direct benefits and related costs, were 67.7% of revenues
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to 69.3% of revenues for
the same quarter last year and were 67.9% of revenues for the nine months ended
March 31, 1997 as compared to 68.6% of revenues for the same period last year. 
This decrease in salaries, wages and other direct costs as a percentage of
revenues is primarily due to increased STC revenues with higher gross margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 19.9% of revenues for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to 21.5% of revenues for the same
quarter last year and were 21.2% of revenues for the nine months ended March 31,
1997 as compared to 22.6% of revenues for the same period last year.  This
decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues was due primarily to the Company's ability to spread fixed costs over
greater revenues. 

Amortization of intangible assets increased 53% to $704,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 from $460,000 for same quarter last year and increased 35%
to $1.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 from $1.4 million for
the same period of last year.   Amortization of intangibles assets has increased
primarily due to the approximately $9.3 million of goodwill related to the
Company's acquisitions of Spectrum NT (July 1996) and CNSI (December 1996).

In connection with the mergers of Spectrum, TMG and TSG with the Company in
fiscal 1997, the Company has incurred merger costs of $1.2 million during the
nine months ending March 31, 1997.  Merger costs consist primarily of broker and
professional fees.  The Company did not incur any merger costs during the nine
months ended March 31, 1996.

                                       10 
<PAGE>

Net interest income was $229,000 and $668,000 for the three and nine month
periods ended March 31, 1997, respectively, as compared to $216,000 and $222,000
for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1996, respectively.  As a
result of the Company's November 1995 public sale of common stock, the Company
paid off its borrowings under its bank line of credit and increased its
investment in interest earning cash equivalent instruments. Generally, since
November 1995, the Company has not borrowed money.  During the quarter ended
March 31, 1997 the Company obtained additional cash of $17.0 million from the
January public sale of common stock which was offset partially by the use of
$13.2 million of cash in March for the acquisition of DTA.  Future net interest
income will vary based on the average invested cash equivalent balance during
the quarter.  Significant fluctuations in average cash equivalent balances are
primarily due to cash provided by or used in operating activities, cash used for
acquisitions, and cash provided by the sale of common stock.

The Company's effective tax rates were 40.0% and 33.6% for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and were 48.2% and 27.2% for the
nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The Company's fiscal
1997 to date effective tax rate is unusually high due to a one-time charge of
$1.2 million to income tax expense related to Spectrum's termination of its S
corporation status upon its merger with CIBER and a one-time charge of $515,000
to income tax expense related to TSG's termination of its S corporation status
upon its merger with CIBER, and to a lesser extent, nondeductible merger costs,
which were partially offset by nontaxable S corporation income.  During the
quarter ended December 31, 1995, Spectrum converted to an S corporation, and
accordingly, recognized a one-time tax benefit of $818,000.

After the pro forma adjustment to income tax expense to reflect the exclusion of
the one-time income tax effects related to changes in the tax status of certain
merged companies and to impute income tax expense for S corporation operations
which were not subject to income taxes, the Company's pro forma net income
increased 89% to $4.9 million (7.0% of revenues) for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 from $2.6 million (5.3% of revenues) for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and increased 59% to $10.4 million (5.7% of revenues) for the
nine months ended March 31, 1997 from $6.5 million (4.9% of revenues) for the
same period last year. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18.4 million and a current ratio
of 3.7:1 at March 31, 1997.  It had total liabilities of $19.4 million versus
total shareholders' equity of $92.7 million.  Net cash provided by operating
activities was $3.9 million and $3.7 million for the nine months ended March 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively.  Net income, excluding noncash charges (primarily
depreciation, amortization and deferred income taxes) provided cash of $12.0
million and $9.3 million during the nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.  This was partially offset by changes in operating assets and
liabilities that used cash of $8.1 million and $5.6 million during the nine
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Changes in operating assets
and liabilities have used significant amounts of cash primarily because the
Company's accounts receivable increased as a result of the Company's increase in
revenues.

Investing activities used cash of $21.6 million and $2.8 million during the nine
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  During the nine months
ended March 31, 1997, the Company used $19.3 million in connection with the
acquisitions of DTA, CNSI and Spectrum NT, while during the nine months ended
March 31, 1996, the Company used $1.7 million for the acquisitions of the
Rochester, Minnesota and Columbus, Ohio branch offices.

Financing activities provided cash of $18.6 million and $14.8 million during the
nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The Company obtained
net cash proceeds from the sale of common stock of $19.5 million and $19.8
million, during the nine months ended March 31, 1997, and 1996, respectively. 
The current tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options provided
cash of $2.9 million and $1.6 million during the nine months ended March 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively. In connection with the Company's acquisition of
CNSI, the Company assumed CNSI's $1.9 million outstanding balance under a bank
line of credit and $1.1 million of notes payable, primarily due to the Company's
Chairman and his family.  The Company repaid these debt obligations and canceled
CNSI's bank line of credit.  During the nine months ended March 31, 1996, the
Company used cash of $5.2 million to reduce its borrowings under its lines of
credit.  Prior to its merger with the Company, TSG had made distributions to its
shareholders.  


                                       11

<PAGE>

In connection with the Company's acquisition of CNSI, the Company assumed CNSI's
liability under a $3.0 million inventory wholesale financing line of credit with
AT&T Capital Corporation.  This line of credit expires in October 1997 and is
guaranteed by certain assets of the Company. CNSI obtains inventory from various
vendors who obtain payment directly from AT&T Capital Corporation.  CNSI then
pays AT&T Capital Corporation within 30 days of invoice.  Amounts outstanding
under this line of credit, which totaled $1.2 million at March 31, 1997, are
included in accounts payable on the Company's balance sheet.

In March 1997 the Company renewed its bank revolving line of credit.  Under the
terms of the new credit agreement the Company may borrow up to $20 million. 
Outstanding borrowings bear interest at the three month London Interbank Offered
Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2%.  Borrowings are unsecured.  The credit agreement
requires a commitment fee of 0.225% per annum on any unused portion of the line
of credit up to $15 million.  The credit agreement expires in December 1997. 
The terms and conditions of the credit agreement include several covenants,
including those whereby the Company agrees to the maintenance of a certain
tangible net worth and debt service coverage ratios among other things.  Amounts
advanced under the line of credit can be used to consummate an acquisition and
may be required by the bank to be converted into a five-year term note payable
in equal amounts of interest and principal; in such event, the line of credit
would be reduced by the amount of the term note.

                               CREDIT AGREEMENT

Whereas UNM Bank Colorado (hereafter "Bank") has agreed to make available a
$20,000,000 credit facility for CIBER, Inc. (hereafter "CIBER"), Bank and CIBER
hereby agree to the following so Iong as any debt is owing to Bank by CIBER or
any credit is available to CIBER from Bank:

1.   FINANCIAL REPORTING

     A.   CIBER will provide Bank:

     i)   Its company's prepared consolidated balance sheet and consolidated 
          income statement within 30 days of the previous month end, unless 
          prohibited by the "public" ownership status of CIBER, in which case 
          the statements will be provided quarterly within 4-5 days of the 
          quarter end.

     ii)  Its annual audited consolidated financial statements of within 120 
          days of the fiscal year end.

     iii) A Borrower's Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A
          attached within 30 days of the month end and an accounts receivable 
          summary at the end of each calendar quarter.


2.   COLLATERAL

          The $20,000,000 credit facility for CIBER shall be on an unsecured 
          basis.

3.   INTEREST RATE

     A)   The interest rate on all outstanding borrowings owed to Bank by CIBER
          shall be 200 basis points above the three month London Interbank 
          Offered Rate ("LIBOR") as quoted in the previous day's western edition
          of The Wall Street Journal for a term of 90 days.

PAGE 2



4.   UNUSED CREDIT FACILITY

     CIBER will pay Bank an unused credit facility fee on the first $15,000,000
     with no fee required on the remaining portion, quarterly in arrears, equal
     to .225% (annualized) of the average unused portion of the revolving credit
     facilities in the previous calendar quarter which has been made available
     by Bank to CIBER.

5.   TERMING OUT OF LOANS MADE FOR ACQUISITION PURPOSES

     At the Bank's option any amounts advanced under CIBER's credit facility for
     the purpose of making an acquisition may be converted to a five year term
     note six months following the date of such advances.  Such loan amount will
     be repayable in sixty (60) monthly payments of equal principal plus
     interest.  Any such loan amounts converted to a five year term loan will be
     subtracted from $20,000,000 and the remaining amount will be available to
     CIBER as a revolving credit facility.

6.   CROSS DEFAULT OF DEBT OWED TO BANK

     A default by CIBER on any of its debt over $25,000 owing to Bank shall be
     considered an event of default on all other debt owing to Bank by CIBER.

7.   TANGIBLE NET WORTH

     CIBER will maintain a minimum Tangible Net Worth of $35,000,000. Tangible
     Net Worth is defined as the reported net worth less assets generally
     considered to be intangible, as determined by Bank, such as but not 
     limited to, goodwill, covenants not to compete and customer lists.

8.   LEVERAGE RATIO

     CIBER'S total liabilities divided by Tangible Net Worth must not exceed 
     1.5 to 1.0  at any time.

CREDIT AGREEMENT
CONTINUED
PAGE 3


9.   DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO

     CIBER will maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 which will
     be measured at the end of each calendar quarter.  The numerator shall be
     the net income plus amortization for the just completed calendar quarter
     multiplied by four divided by a denominator of the current maturities of
     long term debt.

10.  NO OUARTERLY LOSS

     CIBER shall not report a net loss in any calendar quarter.

11.  LOANS TO OTHER PARTIES

     CIBER will not make loans to any person, corporation, company or
     partnership excluding its subsidiaries which exceed in aggregate $500,000.

12.  BANK ACCOUNTS AND SERVICE CHARGES

     for such services following the end of each calendar quarter.
