  The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Notes
thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus or incorporated by reference
herein. Unless otherwise indicated, all information contained in this
Prospectus (i) gives effect to completion on April 3, 1995 of the

                                  THE COMPANY
 
  Renaissance Solutions, Inc. ("Renaissance" or the "Company") provides
management consulting and client/server systems integration services, primarily
for large corporations. The Company's offerings fall into two categories,
strategic services and performance innovation services. Strategic services
consist primarily of management consulting services using the "Balanced
Scorecard" concept described in three Harvard Business Review articles and in
The Balanced Scorecard, a recently published book, all of which were co-
authored by one of the Company's founders, and the design, development and
implementation of software-based executive information systems. The Company's
strategic services are designed to assist senior executives in strategy
implementation. The Company's performance innovation services include the
design, development and implementation of desktop applications using
client/server architecture to support decision-making, coordination,
information sharing and skill development by knowledge workers. These
applications are designed for key business processes, including market and
product development, sales, order fulfillment and customer service. The Company
believes that by bridging management consulting and systems integration
capabilities it can help its customers effectively use technology to satisfy
their strategic objectives.
 
  The Company markets its services directly and, since June 1993, pursuant to a
Teaming Agreement (the "Teaming Agreement") with Gemini Consulting, Inc.
("Gemini"), the sole stockholder of one of the Selling Stockholders (the
"Gemini Selling Stockholder"). The Company and Gemini have entered into a Third
Amended and Restated Teaming Agreement (the "Restated Teaming Agreement") to be
effective upon the closing of this offering. Under the Restated Teaming
Agreement, Renaissance and Gemini will market and perform certain service
offerings on a collaborative basis. Gemini has committed, subject to certain
conditions, to provide the Company with minimum bookings of $12.0 million in
the twelve months ending October 31, 1997, and $12.5 million in each of the
twelve month periods ending October 31, 1998 and 1999. Renaissance markets and
delivers its services through offices in Boston, Chicago, New York and London.
Renaissance customers include AT&T, CIGNA, The Limited, Mercantile & General
and Mobil.

                                 RISK FACTORS
 
  In addition to the other information in this Prospectus, the following
factors should be considered carefully in evaluating an investment in the
Common Stock offered by this Prospectus.
 
  Dependence on Gemini. Since 1993 the Company has been a party to the Teaming
Agreement with Gemini pursuant to which the Company and Gemini have agreed to
market and perform certain service offerings on a collaborative basis. The
Company currently relies on Gemini for a significant portion of the Company's
marketing activities. Approximately 79%, 54% and 43% of the Company's revenues
in 1994, 1995 and the first three fiscal quarters of 1996, respectively,
resulted from its relationship with Gemini; approximately 65%, 24% and 27%,
respectively, of revenues were from services and other amounts billable to
Gemini and approximately 14%, 30% and 16%, respectively, of revenues were from
services billable directly to third parties. As a result, the Company's
success is currently dependent in large part on the success of Gemini's
marketing efforts.
 
  The Company and Gemini have entered into the Restated Teaming Agreement,
which will become effective upon the closing of this offering. Gemini has
committed to provide the Company with certain minimum bookings during the term
of the Restated Teaming Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions. In the event that during any of the six month periods during the
term of the Restated Teaming Agreement bookings obtained by Renaissance from
Gemini customers or customers of joint service offerings by Renaissance and
Gemini are less than specified minimum commitment levels, Gemini may retain
the services of Renaissance for a fee equal to the amount of the deficiency.
If at the end of twelve months a bookings deficiency still remains, Gemini is
required to make a compensating payment to Renaissance of 25% of the remaining
deficiency in full satisfaction of the bookings deficiency. Gemini's
obligation to provide these bookings to the Company will terminate in the
event that any of Harry M. Lasker, David A. Lubin or David P. Norton, the
founders of the Company, ceases to be employed by the Company on a full time
basis during the term of the Restated Teaming Agreement. In such event, the
parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith to establish new commitments
for the remainder of the term of the Restated Teaming Agreement. In addition,
the amount of Gemini's bookings commitment is subject to adjustment as a
result of, among other things, any failure by Renaissance to make available to
Gemini such quantities of marketing and sales resources and such number of
staff for joint service offerings as may from time to time be mutually agreed
upon by the parties.
 
  The Company monitors Gemini's progress in meeting its bookings commitments
through regular conference calls and meetings with Gemini representatives.
"Bookings" are generally defined for purposes of the Restated Teaming
Agreement as gross fees (excluding expense reimbursements) committed to
Renaissance as a result of the relationship with Gemini during the applicable
period, as evidenced by a written agreement between the Company and the
customer for the delivery of goods or services within twelve months, plus any
such fees actually collected by the Company during such period which are not
evidenced by a written agreement. Gemini generally is treated as having
satisfied its bookings commitment regardless of whether revenues are
recognized by Renaissance with respect to a particular engagement. For
example, under the Restated Teaming Agreement, 50% of the fees attributable to
a cancelled contract count towards Gemini's bookings commitment if such
cancellation is not primarily attributable to the actions or omissions of
Gemini. In accordance with industry practice, nearly all of the Company's
contracts are terminable by either the customer or the Company on short or no
notice and without penalty. In addition, Gemini does not guarantee the
collectibility of any receivables resulting from customer engagements under
the Restated Teaming Agreement.
 
  The Restated Teaming Agreement has a term ending on November 1, 1999. The
Restated Teaming Agreement is subject to earlier termination upon the
occurrence of certain events, including a change in control of the Company (as
defined in the Restated Teaming Agreement). In the event that the Restated
Teaming Agreement is validly terminated by either party prior to its
expiration, Renaissance is required to pay a termination fee to Gemini in an
amount declining from a maximum of $1.6 million in the event of a termination
prior to November 1, 1996 to a minimum of $250,000 in the event of a
termination prior to
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
 
November 1, 1999. In addition, in such event, various payment obligations
contained in the Restated Teaming Agreement will terminate on the termination
date. While the Company is continuing to build its internal marketing force
and seeking additional strategic alliances, the termination of the Restated
Teaming Agreement could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business and results of operations.
 
  Under the Restated Teaming Agreement, the Company has agreed to train Gemini
in the use of the Company's Balanced Scorecard, desktop application and
certain other methodologies during the period ending October 31, 1998 and to
perpetually license these methodologies, to the extent developed prior to
November 1, 1998, to Gemini on a non-exclusive basis. As a result, during the
term of the Restated Teaming Agreement Gemini personnel may perform services
in connection with joint service offerings which might otherwise be performed
by Company personnel. In addition, following the termination of the Restated
Teaming Agreement, Gemini will be in a position to compete with the Company
using know-how and methodologies which might otherwise be proprietary to the
Company.
 
  The Company's ability to obtain the benefit of the bookings commitments
under the Restated Teaming Agreement may be affected by Gemini's
creditworthiness. Under the terms of the Restated Teaming Agreement, Gemini is
not required to provide the Company with information regarding Gemini's
financial condition. Based on information made publicly available by an
affiliate of Gemini, the Company believes that Gemini experienced a
significant decline in sales and profits as well as capacity problems in 1995,
and that Gemini's results for the first quarter of 1996 were below its budget
for such quarter.
 
  In each of the three six month periods ended April 30, 1996, Gemini's actual
bookings were lower than the minimum bookings provided for under the Teaming
Agreement. During the six month period commenced on May 1, 1995 and ended
October 31, 1995, Gemini's bookings commitment (as defined in the Teaming
Agreement) to the Company was $8.25 million. The actual bookings for such
period, net of bookings applied to the prior period deficiency, totalled
approximately $1.9 million. Gemini satisfied the resulting $6.3 million
deficiency in the subsequent six month period through a combination of
revenues generated from client work referred to Renaissance by Gemini, work
performed by Renaissance as a subcontractor for Gemini, work performed by
Renaissance directly for Gemini and the acquisition by Gemini from the Company
of certain Company program designs and related materials. During the six month
period commenced on November 1, 1995 and ended April 30, 1996, Gemini's
bookings commitment to the Company was $7.0 million. The actual bookings for
the period, net of bookings applied to the prior period deficiency, totalled
approximately $1.2 million. Gemini issued to Renaissance a purchase order for
the deficiency of approximately $5.8 million. This purchase order was
satisfied by Gemini in the subsequent six month period through a combination
of revenues generated from client work referred to Renaissance by Gemini of
approximately $4.0 million and a cash payment by Gemini to Renaissance of
$750,000 in the third fiscal quarter of 1996 in satisfaction of the remaining
$1.8 million purchase order obligation. The Company's net income for the third
fiscal quarter of 1996 was favorably affected by this cash payment which was
included in revenues and had no incremental cost associated with it. During
the six month period commenced on May 1, 1996 and ending on October 31, 1996,
Gemini's bookings commitment to the Company is $8.0 million. Approximately
$4.0 million in revenues generated from the estimated $5.0 million in bookings
in this six month period will be applied to satisfy the prior period
deficiency. Pursuant to the terms of the Restated Teaming Agreement,
Renaissance and Gemini have agreed that Gemini will satisfy the resulting
bookings deficiency for the period ending October 31, 1996 with a one-time
payment by Gemini to Renaissance of approximately $1.6 million (subject to
adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Restated Teaming Agreement), to
be made simultaneously with the closing of this offering.
 
  Simultaneously with the closing of the Company's initial public offering in
April 1995, the Company sold to Gemini two warrants (the "Gemini Warrants") to
purchase up to 633,600 shares of Common Stock. In addition, Messrs. Lasker and
Lubin and Melissa E. Norton, the wife of David Norton, sold to Gemini, at such
closing, options (the "Gemini Options") to purchase up to an aggregate of
150,000 shares of Common Stock held by them. The Gemini Warrants and the
Gemini Options were subsequently transferred by Gemini to the Gemini Selling
Stockholder. The Gemini Selling Stockholder will exercise the Gemini Warrants
and the Gemini Options and sell the shares of Common Stock represented thereby
in connection with this offering.

  Concentration of Revenues. The Company has in the past derived, and may in
the future derive, a significant portion of its revenues from a relatively
limited number of major projects. In 1994, 1995 and the first three fiscal
quarters of 1996, revenues from services and other amounts billable to Gemini
accounted for approximately 65%, 24% and 27%, respectively, of the Company's
total revenues. Revenues from services billable to Gemini in 1994 include
revenues from services provided to CIGNA by the Company as a subcontractor on
behalf of Gemini pursuant to the Teaming Agreement. These revenues from
services provided to CIGNA accounted for approximately 45% of the Company's
total revenues in 1994. In addition, revenues from services billable to
divisions of AT&T and to Mobil accounted for approximately 14% and 12%,
respectively, of the Company's total revenues in 1994 and revenues from
services billable to divisions of AT&T and to CIGNA accounted for
approximately 36% and 12%, respectively, of the Company's total revenues in
1995. In the first three fiscal quarters of 1996, revenues from services
billable to operating companies of AT&T accounted for approximately 46% of the
Company's total revenues. The Company anticipates that revenues from operating
companies of AT&T will decrease in the future because several engagements for
this group of clients have been completed. The Company's revenues and earnings
can fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the number of customer
engagements and the requirements of these engagements. In accordance with
industry practice, nearly all of the Company's contracts are terminable by
either the customer or the Company on short or no notice and without penalty.
An unanticipated termination of a major project could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business and results of operations.
 
  Variability of Quarterly Operating Results. Variations in the Company's
revenues and operating results occur from quarter to quarter as a result of a
number of factors. Quarterly revenues and operating results can depend on the
size of customer engagements during a quarter, the number of working days in a
quarter and employee utilization rates. The timing of revenues is difficult to
forecast because the Company's sales cycle is relatively long in the case of
new customers and may depend on factors such as the size and scope of
assignments and general economic conditions. Because a high percentage of the
Company's expenses are relatively fixed, a variation in the level of customer
assignments can cause significant variations in operating results from quarter
to quarter and could result in losses. The Company attempts to manage its
personnel utilization rates by closely monitoring project timetables and
staffing requirements for new projects. While the number of professional staff
may be adjusted to some degree to reflect active projects, the Company must
maintain a sufficient number of senior professionals to oversee existing
customer projects and participate in securing new customer engagements. In
addition, most of the Company's engagements are terminable without customer
penalty. An unanticipated termination of a major project could result in an
increase in underutilized employees and a decrease in revenues and profits or
the incurrence of losses.
 
  Dependence on Principal Service Offerings; Need to Develop New
Offerings. The Company currently derives substantially all of its revenue from
two service offerings, consulting services based on its Balanced Scorecard
methodology and client/server systems integration services relating to the
design and development of desktop applications to support business processes.
Any factor adversely affecting the sales or profitability of these services
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of
operations. The market for desktop applications of the type offered by the
Company is new, reflecting the greater use of client/server architecture and
related computer and computer software technology. Accordingly, there can be
no assurance that this market will develop as anticipated by the Company.
 
  The Company's future success will depend in significant part on its ability
to successfully develop and introduce new service offerings and improved
versions of existing service offerings. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in developing, introducing on a timely basis and
marketing such service offerings or that any service offerings will be
accepted in the market. Moreover, services offered by others may render the
Company's services non-competitive or obsolete. See "Business--Services."
 
  Project Risks. Many of the Company's engagements involve projects which are
critical to the operations of its customers' businesses and which provide
benefits that may be difficult to quantify. The Company's failure or inability
to meet a customer's expectations in the performance of its services could
result in the incurrence by the Company of a financial loss and could damage
the Company's reputation and adversely
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
affect its ability to attract new business. In addition, an unanticipated
difficulty in completing a project could have an adverse effect on the
Company's business and results of operations. Fees for the Company's
engagements typically are based on the project schedule, Renaissance staffing
requirements, the level of customer involvement and the scope of the project
as agreed upon with the customer at the project's inception. The Company
generally seeks to obtain an adjustment in its fees in the event of any
significant change in any of the assumptions upon which the original estimate
was based. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in obtaining any such adjustment in the future.
 
  Management of Growth. The Company is currently experiencing a period of
rapid growth which has placed and could continue to place a strain on the
Company's financial, management and other resources. From January 1, 1993
through September 27, 1996, the size of the Company's professional staff
increased from 17 to 111 full-time equivalent employees, and further increases
are anticipated. Since January 1, 1993, the Company has expanded
geographically by adding employees based in New York, Chicago and London. The
Company intends to open additional domestic and international offices as
needed. The Company's ability to manage its staff and facilities growth
effectively will require it to continue to improve its operational, financial
and other internal systems and to train, motivate and manage its employees. If
the Company's management is unable to manage growth effectively and new
employees are unable to achieve anticipated performance levels, the Company's
business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
 
  Attraction and Retention of Key Personnel; Dependence on Founders. The
Company's business involves the delivery of professional services and is labor
intensive. The Company's success will depend in large part upon its ability to
attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees. There is significant
competition for employees with the skills required to perform the services
offered by the Company. Although the Company expects to continue to attract
and retain sufficient numbers of highly skilled employees for the foreseeable
future, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. The
loss of any of the Company's three founders or other key personnel could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations,
including its ability to attract employees and secure and complete
engagements. See "Dependence on Gemini."
 
  Competition. The management consulting and client/server systems integration
markets are subject to rapid change and are highly competitive. The Company
competes with and faces potential competition for customer assignments and
experienced personnel from a number of companies that have significantly
greater financial, technical and marketing resources, generate greater
revenues and have greater name recognition than does the Company. In addition,
the management consulting and client/server systems integration markets are
highly fragmented and served by numerous firms, many of which serve only their
respective local markets. The Company's customers primarily consist of major
corporations, and there are an increasing number of professional services
firms seeking management consulting and client/server systems integration
engagements from that customer base. The Company believes that the principal
competitive factors in the management consulting and client/server systems
integration industries include the nature of the services offered, quality of
service, responsiveness to customer needs, experience, technical expertise and
price. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to compete
successfully with its existing competitors or will be able to compete
successfully with any new competitors. See "Business--Competition."
 
  Control by Directors and Officers. Upon completion of this offering, the
Company's officers and directors, and their affiliates, will beneficially own
approximately 33.7% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. As a practical
matter, these stockholders, if acting together, may have the ability to elect
the Company's directors and to determine the outcome of corporate actions
requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how other stockholders of the
Company may vote. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of
delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. See "Management"
and "Principal and Selling Stockholders." Pursuant to a voting agreement
entered into in connection with the Reorganization, Messrs. Lasker and Lubin,
Melissa E. Norton (the wife of Mr. Norton), the Harry M. Lasker Children's
Trust and the David A. Lubin Children's Trust have agreed to vote their shares
of Common Stock to elect to the Company's Board of Directors one individual
designated by each of Messrs. Lasker and Lubin and Ms. Norton. The current
designees to the Board of Directors under this voting agreement are Messrs.
Lasker, Lubin and Norton. The voting agreement will continue in effect until
October 31, 1998.

  Risks Associated with Potential Acquisitions. The Company's strategy
includes the potential acquisition of businesses, products and technologies
that are complementary to those of the Company. Promising acquisitions are
difficult to identify and complete for a number of reasons, including
competition among prospective buyers. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to complete acquisitions or that the Company will be able
to successfully integrate any acquired businesses, and the failure of the
Company to successfully complete acquisitions or to integrate any acquired
businesses could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and
results of operations. In order to finance such acquisitions, it may be
necessary for the Company to raise additional funds through public or private
financings. Any equity or debt financing, if available at all, may be on terms
which are not favorable to the Company and, in the case of equity financing,
may result in dilution to the Company's stockholders.
 
  Antitakeover Provisions. The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation (the "Restated Certificate of Incorporation") requires that any
action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders of the Company must
be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may
not be effected by any consent in writing, and the Company's Amended and
Restated By-laws (the "Restated By-laws") require reasonable advance notice by
a stockholder of a proposal or director nomination which such stockholder
desires to present at any annual or special meeting of stockholders. Special
meetings of stockholders may be called only by a Chairman, the Chief Executive
Officer or, if none, the President of the Company or by the Board of
Directors. The Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for a classified
Board of Directors, and members of the Board of Directors may be removed only
for cause upon the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the
shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote. The affirmative vote
of the holders of 75% of the shares of capital stock of the Company issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote is required to amend or repeal these
provisions. In addition, the Board of Directors has the authority, without
further action by the stockholders, to fix the rights and preferences of, and
issue shares of, Preferred Stock. These provisions, as well as other
provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Restated By-
laws, may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or
preventing changes in control or management of the Company, including
transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their
shares over then current market prices. In addition, these provisions may
limit the ability of stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem
to be in their best interests.
 
  International Operations. Sales outside North America accounted for
approximately 16% of the Company's revenues in each of the year ended December
31, 1995 and the first three fiscal quarters of 1996. The Company intends to
expand its presence in European markets and anticipates that international
sales will account for an increasing portion of revenues in the future.
International revenues are subject to a number of risks, including the
following: agreements may be difficult to enforce and receivables difficult to
collect through a foreign country's legal system; foreign customers may have
longer payment cycles; foreign countries could impose additional withholding
taxes or otherwise tax the Company's foreign income, impose tariffs or adopt
other restrictions on foreign trade; fluctuations in exchange rates could
affect product demand and adversely affect the profitability in U.S. dollars
of services provided by the Company in foreign markets where payment for the
Company's services is made in the local currency; U.S. export licenses may be
difficult to obtain; and the protection of intellectual property in foreign
countries may be more difficult to enforce. There can be no assurance that any
of these factors will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business and results of operations. See "Business--Marketing, Sales and
Customers."
 
  Possible Volatility of Share Price. The market price of the Company's Common
Stock, which is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, may be subject to
significant fluctuations in response to operating results, announcements of
new contracts or service offerings by Renaissance or its competitors and other
factors. In addition, the stock market in recent years has experienced extreme
price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated or
disproportionate to the operating performance of individual companies. These
market fluctuations, as well as general economic conditions, may adversely
affect the market price of the Common Stock.

  Intellectual Property Rights. The Company's success is dependent in part
upon its management consulting and client/server systems integration
methodologies and other intellectual property, some of which is proprietary to
the Company. A significant portion of the Company's management consulting
services are based on the Balanced Scorecard concept described in three
Harvard Business Review articles and in The Balanced Scorecard, a recently
published book, all of which were co-authored by one of the Company's
founders. The Company believes that the Balanced Scorecard name is in the
public domain. As a result, third parties may provide services using the
Balanced Scorecard name which are competitive with the services offered by the
Company.
 
  The Company relies upon a combination of trade secret, nondisclosure and
other contractual arrangements, and copyright and trademark laws to protect
its proprietary rights. The Company presently holds no patents or registered
copyrights, trademarks or service marks. The Company generally enters into
confidentiality agreements with its employees, consultants, customers and
potential customers and limits distribution of its proprietary information.
There can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company in this regard
will be adequate to deter misappropriation of its proprietary information or
that the Company will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate
steps to enforce its intellectual property rights. Although the Company
believes that its services and products do not infringe on the intellectual
property rights of others, there can be no assurance that such a claim will
not be asserted against the Company in the future. See "Business--Intellectual
Property."
 
                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S 1995 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
 
  On September 18, 1996, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to
stockholder approval, an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Company's 1995
Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") increasing the number of shares of Common
Stock available for issuance under the Plan from 1,100,000 to 2,100,000
(subject to adjustment for certain changes in the Company's capitalization).
The Board of Directors has called a Special Meeting of Stockholders of the
Company, to be held on November 15, 1996, for the purpose of approving the
Amendment. As of September 27, 1996, 38,604 shares remained available for
stock option grants and restricted stock awards to Renaissance employees under
the Plan. If the Amendment is approved, the Company will have additional
authorized shares of Common Stock available for future grants and awards,
including grants and awards in connection with any merger, consolidation or
acquisition by the Company.
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
  The Company was organized as a Delaware corporation in March 1992. In
December 1993, the Company contributed all of its assets, subject to all of
its liabilities, to Renaissance Strategy Group Limited Partnership, a Delaware
limited partnership (the "Partnership"), in exchange for the sole general
partnership interest in the Partnership. The business of the Company described
in this Prospectus was conducted by the Partnership from December 1993 to
April 1995.
 
  Pursuant to a reorganization agreement (the "Reorganization Agreement")
entered into among the Company, the Partnership, the limited partners of the
Partnership, the holders of certain units of economic interest in the
Partnership ("Units") and the holders of certain options to purchase Units,
effective on April 3, 1995, the Partnership was dissolved and all of its
assets and liabilities were distributed to and assumed by the Company. The
reorganization of the Company described above is referred to in this
Prospectus as the "Reorganization."
 
  Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the "Company"
and "Renaissance" refer to Renaissance Solutions, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, and, with respect to operations between December 1, 1993 and
April 3, 1995, the Partnership, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Renaissance
Solutions Limited and Renaissance Securities Corp. References to historical
financial information of the Company prior to April 3, 1995 refer to the
historical financial information of its predecessors. See Note 1 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
  The Company's principal office is located at Lincoln North, 55 Old Bedford
Road, Lincoln, Massachusetts 01773 and its telephone number is (617) 259-8833.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
  The net proceeds to Renaissance from the sale of shares of Common Stock
offered by the Company hereby are estimated to be approximately $1.3 million
(approximately $6.5 million if the Underwriters' overallotment option is
exercised in full) after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated
offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company will also receive
approximately $10.3 million from the Gemini Selling Stockholder as payment of
the exercise price of the Gemini Warrants and approximately $348,000 from
certain other Selling Stockholders as payment of the exercise price of the
stock options being exercised by such Selling Stockholders in connection with
the offering. The Company will also receive approximately $1.6 million
(subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Restated Teaming
Agreement) from Gemini upon the closing of the offering pursuant to the terms
of the Restated Teaming Agreement. See "Business--Relationship with Gemini."
 
  The Company will not receive any of the net proceeds from the sale of shares
by the Selling Stockholders or from the exercise of the Gemini Options by the
Gemini Selling Stockholder. Upon exercise of the Gemini Options, the Gemini
Selling Stockholder will pay an aggregate of approximately $2.7 million to
Harry M. Lasker, David A. Lubin and Melissa E. Norton, representing the
exercise price of the Gemini Options and repayment with interest of the
promissory notes issued by Gemini in connection with the purchase of the
Gemini Options. See "Risk Factors--Dependence on Gemini" and "Principal and
Selling Stockholders."
 
  The Company expects to use the net proceeds from this offering for working
capital and other general corporate purposes. The Company has not as yet
identified specific uses for such proceeds and will have discretion over their
use and investment.
 
  The Company intends to seek acquisitions of businesses, products and
technologies that are complementary to those of the Company, and a portion of
the net proceeds may also be used for such acquisitions. While the Company
engages from time to time in discussions with respect to potential
acquisitions, the Company has no commitments or agreements with respect to any
such acquisitions as of the date of this Prospectus, and there can be no
assurances that any such acquisitions will be made. See "Risk Factors--Risks
Associated with Acquisition Strategy."
 
  Pending such uses, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds from this
offering in short-term, investment grade, interest-bearing instruments.

  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                                  OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW
 
  The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from management
consulting and client/server systems integration services. The Company markets
its services directly and through the Teaming Agreement with Gemini. Pursuant
to the Teaming Agreement, Renaissance and Gemini have agreed to market and
perform certain service offerings on a collaborative basis. Approximately 79%,
54% and 43% of the Company's revenues in 1994 and 1995 and for the nine months
ended September 27, 1996, respectively, resulted from its relationship with
Gemini; approximately 65%, 24% and 27% of revenues were from services and
other amounts billable to Gemini and approximately 14%, 30% and 16% of
revenues were from services billable directly to third parties in 1994 and
1995 and for the nine months ended September 27, 1996, respectively. The
Company and Gemini have entered into the Restated Teaming Agreement, which
will become effective upon the closing of this offering. See "Risk Factors--
Dependence on Gemini" and "Business--Relationship with Gemini."
 
  Fees for services provided by the Company typically are based on the project
schedule, Renaissance staffing requirements, the level of customer involvement
and the scope of the project as agreed upon with the customer at the project's
inception. The Company generally seeks to obtain an adjustment in its fees in
the event of any significant change in any of the assumptions upon which the
original estimate was based. The Company records revenues at estimated
realizable rates as labor hours are incurred. Provisions are made for
estimated unbillable and uncollectible amounts.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage
relationship to revenues of certain items in the Company's consolidated
statements of operations.

 Nine Months Ended September 27, 1996 Compared with Nine Months Ended
September 29, 1995
 
  Revenues increased 62% to $25.4 million in the first three quarters of 1996
from $15.7 million in the first three quarters of 1995. This increase in
revenues was primarily attributable to the significantly increased level of
services performed for clients by both the Strategic Management Services Group
and the Performance Innovation Services Group. Revenues attributable to the
Company's relationship with Gemini represented 43% and 46% of total revenues
in the nine month periods ended September 27, 1996 and September 29, 1995,
respectively. The Company expects that revenues from Gemini will decrease as a
percentage of revenues in the future. See "Risk Factors--Dependence on
Gemini." Revenues from operating companies of AT&T represented, in the
aggregate, approximately 46% and 32% of the Company's revenues in the nine
month periods ended September 27, 1996 and September 29, 1995, respectively.
The Company anticipates that revenues attributable to operating companies of
AT&T will decrease in the future because several engagements for this group of
clients have been completed. See "Risk Factors--Concentration of Revenues."
 
  In each of the three six month periods ended on April 30, 1996, Gemini's
actual bookings were lower than the minimum bookings provided for under the
Teaming Agreement. Gross bookings attributable to Gemini under the Teaming
Agreement (without regard to the application of bookings to prior period
deficiencies) for the six month periods ended April 30, 1995, October 31, 1995
and April 30, 1996 were $6.8 million, $2.0 million and $5.3 million,
respectively. For the six month period ending October 31, 1996, the Company
estimates that such gross bookings will total approximately $5.0 million.
Because bookings for the six month period ended October 31, 1995 were
substantially below the bookings commitment for such period, bookings for the
subsequent six month period ended April 30, 1996 were, and for the six month
period ending October 31, 1996 will be, in accordance with the Teaming
Agreement, used to satisfy prior period deficiencies.
 
  In particular, during the six month period commenced on May 1, 1995 and
ended October 31, 1995, Gemini's bookings commitment to the Company was $8.25
million. The actual bookings for such period, net of bookings applied to the
prior period deficiency, totalled approximately $1.9 million. Gemini satisfied
the resulting $6.3 million deficiency in the subsequent six month period
through a combination of revenues generated from client work referred to
Renaissance by Gemini, work performed by Renaissance as a subcontractor for
Gemini, work performed by Renaissance directly for Gemini and the acquisition
by Gemini from the Company for $2.2 million (included in revenue for the nine
months ended September 27, 1996) of certain Company program designs and
related materials. During the six month period commenced on November 1, 1995
and ended April 30, 1996, Gemini's bookings commitment to the Company was $7.0
million. The actual bookings for the period, net of bookings applied to the
prior period deficiency, totalled approximately $1.2 million. Gemini issued to
Renaissance a purchase order for the deficiency of approximately $5.8 million.
This purchase order was satisfied by Gemini in the subsequent period through a
combination of revenues generated from client work referred to Renaissance by
Gemini of approximately $4.0 million and a cash payment by Gemini to
Renaissance of $750,000 in the third quarter of 1996 in satisfaction of the
remaining $1.8 million purchase order obligation. The Company's net income for
the third fiscal quarter of 1996 was favorably affected by this cash payment
which was included in revenues and had no incremental cost associated with it.
 
  During the six month period commenced on May 1, 1996 and ending on October
31, 1996, Gemini's bookings commitment to the Company is $8.0 million.
Approximately $4.0 million in revenues generated from the estimated $5.0
million in bookings in this six month period will be applied to satisfy the
prior period deficiency. Renaissance and Gemini have agreed that Gemini will
satisfy the bookings deficiency for this period with a one time payment by
Gemini to Renaissance of approximately $1.6 million (subject to adjustment in
accordance with the terms of the Restated Teaming Agreement), to be made
simultaneously with the closing of this offering. See "Risk Factors--
Dependence on Gemini" and "Business--Relationship with Gemini."
 
  Professional personnel costs increased 66% in the first three quarters of
1996 to $13.6 million, or 54% of revenues, from $8.2 million, or 52.3% of
revenues, in the first three quarters of 1995. The number of full-time
equivalent professional employees increased to 111 at September 27, 1996 from
82 at September 29, 1995. The increase in personnel costs resulted from the
addition of 15 professionals in December 1995, the standardization of all
employee compensation adjustments to January of each year beginning in January
1996 and professional time investment in the Company's Web-based information
services offering.

  Professional development and recruiting costs increased 34% in the first
three quarters of 1996 to $1.3 million, or 5% of revenues, from $982,000, or
6% of revenues, in the first three quarters of 1995. This increase in
professional development and recruiting costs resulted primarily from
significant expansion in the number of professional employees retained by the
Company.
 
  Marketing and sales expenses increased 173% in the first three quarters of
1996 to $1.0 million, or 4% of revenues, from $383,000, or 2% of revenues, in
the first three quarters of 1995. This increase in marketing and sales
expenses reflected an increase in the level and scope of marketing
communications activities in 1996. The Company is expanding its marketing and
sales efforts and therefore expects related expenses to increase as a
percentage of revenues in the future. See "Business--Marketing, Sales and
Customers."
 
  General and administrative expenses increased 52% in the first three
quarters of 1996 to $4.4 million, or 17% of revenues, from $2.9 million, or
18% of revenues, in the first three quarters of 1995. This increase in general
and administrative expenses resulted primarily from additional costs necessary
to support the growth in the Company's business and professional staff during
1996 and included increases in salary costs for administrative staff,
increases in facilities and operating expenses and investments in upgrading
the Company's telecommunications (video and audio), networks and systems.
 
  Interest expense declined 28% in the first three quarters of 1996 to
$41,000, or 0.2% of revenues, from $57,000, or 0.4% of revenues, for the first
three quarters of 1995. This decline was primarily attributable to the
reduction in interest payments to Gemini under a $2.0 million working capital
loan from Gemini to the Company (the "Gemini Loan"), which was repaid
following the Company's initial public offering in April 1995, offset by
payments made to Shawmut Bank under the Company's working capital line of
credit. Interest income increased 153% in the first three quarters of 1996 to
$899,000, or 4% of revenues, from $355,000, or 2% of revenues, for the first
three quarters of 1995. This increase was primarily the result of higher cash
balances from cash generated by operations and the proceeds from the Company's
follow-on public offering in May 1996. Interest income consists of interest
earned on the Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.
 
  The provision for income taxes in the first three quarters of 1996 was $2.3
million or 39% compared with a pro forma tax provision of $1.4 million or 40%
in the first three quarters of 1995. The 1995 figure was computed as if the
Company had been taxable as a C Corporation since its inception. Prior to its
Reorganization on April 3, 1995, the Company was not subject to federal or
state income taxes at the Company level.
 
 1995 Compared with 1994
 
  Revenues increased 75% to $22.6 million in 1995 from $12.9 million in 1994.
This increase in revenues was primarily attributable to the significantly
increased level of services performed for clients by the Performance
Innovation Services Group. Revenues from three operating companies of AT&T
represented, in the aggregate, approximately 36% of the Company's revenues in
1995. Revenues attributable to the Company's relationship with Gemini
represented approximately 54% and 79% of the Company's total revenues in 1995
and 1994, respectively.
 
  Professional personnel costs (which includes salaries and benefits and costs
associated with independent contractors) increased 76% in 1995 to $11.5
million, or 51% of revenues, from $6.5 million, or 51% of revenues, in 1994.
Professional personnel costs in 1995 reflect the election by the Company's Co-
Chairmen and Chief Executive Officer to permanently forego a total of $150,000
in compensation to which they were otherwise entitled in 1995. The number of
full-time equivalent professional employees increased to 91 at December 31,
1995, from 56 at December 31, 1994. This increase in personnel resulted from
the need to staff an increasing level of customer engagements.
 
  Professional development and recruiting costs increased 82% in 1995 to $1.3
million, or 6% of revenues, from 693,000, or 5% or revenues, in 1994. This
increase in professional development and recruiting costs was primarily
attributable to the addition of significant numbers of professional personnel
by the Company in 1995.
 
                                      16

  Marketing and sales expenses increased 113% in 1995 to $589,000, or 3% of
revenues, from $276,000, or 2% of revenues, in 1994. This increase in
marketing and sales expenses reflected increased public relations and other
marketing communications activities in 1995. The Company is expanding its
marketing and sales efforts and therefore expects related expenses to increase
as a percentage of revenues in the future. See "Business--Marketing, Sales and
Customers."
 
  General and administrative expenses increased 65% in 1995 to $4.1 million,
or 18% of revenues, from $2.5 million, or 19% of revenues, in 1994. This
increase in general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from
additional costs necessary to support the growth in the Company's business and
professional staff during 1995 and included increases in salary costs for
administrative staff as well as increases in facilities and operating
expenses.
 
  Interest expense declined 37% in 1995 to $80,000, or 0.4% of revenues, from
$126,000, or 1% of revenues, for 1994. This decline was primarily attributable
to the reduction in interest payments to Gemini under a $2.0 million working
capital loan from Gemini to the Company (the "Gemini Loan"), which was repaid
following the Company's initial public offering in April 1995. Interest income
was $490,000, or 2.2% of revenues, for 1995, up from $16,000, or less than 1%
of revenues, during 1994. The increase in interest income resulted from
interest earned on the proceeds of the Company's initial public offering.
 
  The pro forma provision for income taxes in 1995 was $2.2 million compared
with a pro forma tax provision of $593,000 in 1994. Both figures are computed
as if the Company had been taxable as a C Corporation since its inception.
Prior to its Reorganization on April 3, 1995, the Company was not subject to
federal or state income taxes at the Company level. The 1995 pro forma
effective tax rate was 40%. The 1994 pro forma effective tax rate of 21% was
less than the federal statutory tax rate of 34% due to the carryforward of
operating losses from 1993.
 
  Under the Teaming Agreement as then in effect, during the six month period
commenced on May 1, 1995 and ended October 31, 1995, Gemini was obligated to
provide the Company with bookings (as defined in the Teaming Agreement) of
$8.25 million. The actual bookings for such period totalled approximately $1.9
million. Gemini satisfied the approximately $6.3 million deficiency through a
combination of revenues generated from client work referred to Renaissance by
Gemini, work performed by Renaissance as a subcontractor for Gemini and work
performed by Renaissance directly for Gemini. A portion of the deficiency
satisfied directly by Gemini was payable in installments through September 1,
1996.
 
 1994 Compared with 1993
 
  Revenues increased to $12.9 million in 1994 from $2.5 million in 1993. This
increase in revenues was primarily attributable to the significantly increased
level of services performed for customers by both the Company's Strategic
Services Group and Performance Innovation Services Group. This increase was
primarily attributable to additional engagements resulting from the Company's
collaboration with Gemini. Revenues attributable to the Company's relationship
with Gemini represented approximately 79% and 28% of the Company's total
revenues in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company began its collaboration
with Gemini in June 1993.
 
  Professional personnel costs increased 154% in 1994 to $6.5 million, or 51%
of revenues, from $2.6 million, or 101% of revenues, in 1993. The number of
full-time equivalent professional employees increased to 56 at December 31,
1994 from 17 at December 31, 1993. This increase in personnel resulted from
the need to staff an increasing level of customer engagements. At December 31,
1994, independent contractors represented 7 of the Company's 56 full-time
equivalent professional personnel, compared with one of the Company's 17 full-
time equivalent professional personnel at December 31, 1993.
 
  Professional development and recruiting costs increased 161% in 1994 to
$693,000, or 5% of revenues, from $266,000, or 11% of revenues, in 1993. This
increase in professional development and recruiting costs was primarily
attributable to the addition of significant numbers of professional personnel
by the Company in 1994.
 
                                      17
<PAGE>
 
  Marketing and sales expenses increased 76% in 1994 to $276,000, or 2% of
revenues, from $157,000, or 6% of revenues, in 1993. This increase in
marketing and sales expenses reflected increased marketing activities in 1994,
including executive seminars in New York and London, regular newsletters and
direct mail initiatives. The Company is expanding its marketing and sales
efforts and therefore expects related expenses to increase as a percentage of
revenues in the future. See "Business--Marketing, Sales and Customers."
 
  General and administrative expenses increased 99% in 1994 to $2.5 million,
or 19% of revenues, from $1.3 million, or 49% of revenues, in 1993. This
increase in general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from
additional costs necessary to support the growth in the Company's business and
staff in 1994 and included increases in salaries and benefits for additional
administrative personnel and increases in facilities costs.
 
  Interest expense increased 193% in 1994 to $126,000, or 1% of revenues, from
$43,000, or 2% of revenues, in 1993. This increase in interest expense was
primarily attributable to higher average daily balances under the Gemini Loan,
which was outstanding for all of 1994 and only a portion of 1993. Interest
income was $16,000 in 1994. Interest income consists of interest earned on the
Company's excess cash balances. The Company did not realize any interest
income in 1993.
 
  The pro forma provision for income taxes in 1994 was $593,000 compared with
a pro forma credit provision of $87,000 in 1993, both computed as if the
Company had been taxable as a C corporation since its inception. Prior to the
Reorganization, the Company was not subject to federal or state income taxes
at the Company level. The 1994 pro forma effective tax rate of 21% was less
than the federal statutory tax rate of 34% due to the carryforward of
operating losses from 1993. The 1993 pro forma effective tax credit rate of 5%
was less than the federal statutory tax rate of 34% due to the 1993 operating
loss.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  To date, the Company's financing requirements have been met through a
combination of funds generated by operations, loans from Gemini, bank
borrowings, loans from certain of the Company's stockholders, the sale of
Common Stock in the Company's initial and follow-on public offerings and the
sale to Gemini of the Gemini Warrants. At September 27, 1996, the Company had
working capital of $51.5 million, an increase of $34.8 million as compared to
working capital of $16.7 million at December 31, 1995. The increase was
primarily attributable to the Company's follow-on offering in May 1996, which
provided net proceeds of $28.8 million.
 
  Funds provided (used) by operations amounted to $(1,638,000), $2,287,000,
$(2,306,000) and $1,985,000 for 1993, 1994, 1995 and the first three fiscal
quarters of 1996, respectively. Accounts receivable and unbilled services
increased significantly in 1994 over 1993 and in 1995 over 1994 as a result of
the increased services performed by the Company in these years. Accounts
receivable and unbilled services increased 253% to $3.2 million on December
31, 1994, as compared to $904,000 on December 31, 1993. During the same
period, revenues increased 407%, to $12.9 million from $2.5 million. Accounts
receivable and unbilled services increased 199% to $9.6 million on December
31, 1995 as compared to $3.2 million on December 31, 1994. During this same
period revenues increased 75%, to $22.6 million from $12.9 million in 1994.
Accounts receivable and unbilled services increased 19% to $11.4 million on
September 27, 1996 as compared to $9.6 million on December 31, 1995. Advance
payments are recorded when billings exceed revenues earned or expenses
incurred. In 1994, advance payments increased to $983,000 from $0 in 1993 as a
result of billings in excess of revenues earned and expenses incurred with
respect to one customer. In 1995, advanced payments decreased to $341,000 from
$983,000 in 1994. Advance payments in the first three fiscal quarter of 1996
decreased to $131,000 from $341,000 in 1995.
 
  Capital expenditures were $331,000, $774,000, $1,391,000 and $1,283,000 for
1993, 1994, 1995 and the first three fiscal quarters of 1996, respectively.
The Company expects capital expenditures in the remainder of 1996 to be
approximately $250,000, primarily for the purchase of computer hardware and
software, for furniture and fixtures and for leasehold improvements. In August
1996 the Company entered into an operating
 
                                      18
<PAGE>
 
lease with Digital Equipment Corporation ("Digital") pursuant to which Digital
repurchased a portion of the Company's installed base of computers and will
provide the Company with certain equipment, services and support. Under this
operating lease, the Company will pay Digital approximately $407,000, $1.2
million, $1.2 million and $866,000 in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.
 
  Net cash used for investing activities of $15.2 million during the nine
month period ended September 27, 1996 resulted primarily from the purchase of
marketable securities.
 
  On July 21, 1994, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit
agreement with Shawmut Bank (now Fleet Bank, N.A.) providing for borrowings of
up to $1.0 million. The line of credit agreement was subsequently amended to
increase the amount available for borrowings to $3.5 million. This line of
credit expires on June 1, 1997. As of December 31, 1995, $1.5 million was
outstanding under the line. No borrowings were outstanding under the line as
of October 23, 1996. The line of credit includes customary financial and other
covenants relating to the maintenance of certain financial tests, such as
minimum tangible net worth and quarterly profitability, and restricting the
Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness. On August 25, 1995, the
Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with Barclays Bank
in London providing for borrowings of up to British Pound Sterling 250,000.
The line of credit was subsequently amended to increase the amount available
for borrowings to British Pound Sterling 425,000. No borrowings were
outstanding under the line as of December 31, 1995 or October 23, 1996. See
Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
  The Company made a partnership distribution totaling $2,672,000 in January
1995, which represented the cumulative net earnings of the Partnership from
December 1, 1993 through December 31, 1994. The Company made a final
partnership distribution totaling $754,475 in March 1995, which represented
the estimated amount of the Partnership's net earnings during the period
commencing on January 1, 1995 and ending immediately prior to the
Reorganization. Both the January 1995 and the March 1995 partnership
distributions were evidenced by the Stockholder Notes and were repaid from a
portion of the net proceeds of the Company's initial public offering. The
partnership distributions represent earnings of the Partnership upon which the
recipients of the Stockholder Notes have been or will be required to pay
income taxes.
 
  In the event that the Restated Teaming Agreement is validly terminated by
either party prior to its expiration, Renaissance is required to pay a
termination fee to Gemini in an amount declining from $1.6 million in the
event of a termination prior to November 1, 1996 to $250,000 in the event of a
termination prior to November 1, 1999.
 
  Management believes that funds generated by operations, existing cash
balances (including proceeds from the Company's initial and follow-on public
offerings), borrowings under the bank lines and the net proceeds from this
offering will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital and capital
expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. Thereafter, the
Company's liquidity will be materially dependent upon its internally generated
funds and its ability to obtain funds from financings from external sources,
in the form of either additional equity or indebtedness. The Company's ability
to borrow will be a function of the level of its internally generated funds
and the assets of its business that are available to serve as collateral,
which will consist primarily of accounts receivable.

                                   BUSINESS
 
  Renaissance Solutions, Inc. ("Renaissance" or the "Company") provides
management consulting and client/server systems integration services,
primarily for large corporations. The Company's offerings fall into two
categories, strategic services and performance innovation services, both of
which can incorporate consulting services and technology implementation.
Strategic services consist primarily of management consulting services using
the "Balanced Scorecard" concept described in three Harvard Business Review
articles and in The Balanced Scorecard, a recently published book, all of
which were co-authored by one of the Company's founders and the design,
development and implementation of software-based executive information
systems. The Company's strategic services are designed to assist senior
executives in strategy implementation. The Company's performance innovation
services include the design, development and implementation of desktop
applications using client/server architecture to support decision-making,
coordination, information sharing and skill development by knowledge workers.
These applications are designed for key business processes, including market
and product development, sales, order fulfillment and customer service. The
Company believes that by bridging management consulting and systems
integration capabilities it can help its customers effectively use technology
to satisfy their strategic objectives.
 
THE RENAISSANCE SOLUTION
 
  Renaissance combines its expertise in management consulting and
client/server systems integration to assist customers in developing innovative
solutions to their business needs. The Company believes that the combination
of defining an organization's strategy in terms of measurable goals and
implementing information systems in support of these goals differentiates
Renaissance from its competitors. Renaissance focuses on projects that are
intended to have a significant effect on a customer's future profitability or
competitive market position.
 
  Renaissance's service offerings are designed to support both the strategic
and operational processes of large corporations, as follows:
 
  . At the strategic level, the Company provides management consulting
    services, based primarily on the Balanced Scorecard methodology, that are
    intended to identify strategic corporate objectives and measure an
    organization's progress in achieving these objectives. In addition, the
    Company designs, develops and implements software-based executive
    information systems, or "Strategic Feedback Systems" ("SFS"), that
    provide desktop information and communications tools for use by senior
    executives in achieving these objectives.
 
  . At the business process level, the Company designs, develops and
    implements desktop applications using client/server architecture to
    support key business processes, such as market and product development,
    sales, order fulfillment and customer service. These applications are
    designed to assist knowledge workers in meeting increased performance
    requirements created by new or redesigned work processes.
 
STRATEGY
 
  Renaissance's goal is to be a leading provider of management consulting and
client/server systems integration services to corporations seeking major
performance improvements. The Company is pursuing the following strategies to
achieve this goal.
 
  . Emphasize a Multidisciplinary Approach. The Company believes that a key
    factor differentiating Renaissance's service offerings is the combination
    of its expertise in management consulting and client/server systems
    integration. The Company believes that by bridging management consulting
    and systems integration capabilities it can help its customers
    effectively use technology to satisfy their strategic objectives.
 
  . Provide Tailored Solutions Using Proprietary Methodologies and Reusable
    Software Components. The Company is investing in proprietary
    methodologies and reusable software components for both its strategic and
    performance innovation offerings. Although the Company
 
                                      20
<PAGE>
 
    individually tailors solutions for each customer, it leverages its
    capabilities through the use of these proprietary methodologies and
    software components. The Company believes that this approach reduces
    development time and project costs, enhances project quality, permits
    rapid expansion of the Company's professional staff and differentiates the
    Company's services from those of its competitors.
 
  . Build Renaissance Brand Name. The Renaissance name is closely associated
    with the Balanced Scorecard management consulting methodology. The
    Balanced Scorecard concept was described in three articles appearing in
    the Harvard Business Review in 1992, 1993 and 1996 and in The Balanced
    Scorecard, a recently published book, all of which were co-authored by
    one of the Company's founders. The Company seeks to promote its name
    association with the Balanced Scorecard through additional publications,
    speaking engagements and other marketing activities. By building name
    recognition for both Renaissance and the Balanced Scorecard, the Company
    believes it can differentiate Renaissance from its competitors.
 
  . Broaden Customer Base Through Targeted Industry Marketing, Geographic
    Expansion and Alliances. The Company plans to continue to expand
    significantly its marketing initiatives and capabilities. The Company is
    expanding its professional staff through the addition of personnel with
    consulting expertise in selected industries and is increasing its
    customer marketing initiatives, including publications and executive
    seminars. The Company also plans to continue to expand geographically by
    adding offices in major United States and foreign cities. Finally, the
    Company is seeking marketing alliances with technology providers who
    offer products or services that complement the Company's service
    offerings.
 
SERVICES
 
  Renaissance's offerings are delivered through two service groups, the
Strategic Services Group and the Performance Innovation Services Group.
 
 Strategic Services Group
 
  The Company's strategic services include management consulting based on the
Company's Balanced Scorecard methodology, complementary consulting services
and the design and development of desktop applications to assist senior
executives in strategy implementation. The goal of the Balanced Scorecard
methodology is to provide senior managers with a framework to translate a
corporate strategy into measurable objectives, measures and targets. The
Balanced Scorecard methodology is designed to consolidate measurement of many
of the disparate elements of a company's competitive agenda, such as becoming
customer oriented, improving quality, reducing time to market for new products
and managing for the long term.
 
  At the beginning of a typical Balanced Scorecard engagement, Renaissance
representatives meet with the customer's chief executive officer, chief
financial officer or other senior executives and interview members of the
customer's management team to solicit information regarding the customer's
strategic objectives. In order to obtain a consensus regarding these
objectives, Renaissance then conducts workshops with various members of the
management team.
 
  After a consensus is reached, Renaissance analyzes the customer's strategy
from four perspectives: financial, customer, business process and
organizational learning. The Company, working with the customer's management,
then identifies and selects the best indicators of achievement of each of the
strategic objectives, distinguishing between forward looking or "lead"
indicators and backward looking or "lag" indicators. Renaissance then maps
these indicators against the four categories of strategic objectives into a
"Balanced Scorecard." Using the Balanced Scorecard and supporting
methodologies, Renaissance works with the customer to identify the performance
factors that most significantly affect the customer's strategic objectives.
 
  Fees for services provided by the Company's Strategic Services Group
typically are based on the project schedule, Renaissance staffing
requirements, the level of customer involvement and the scope of the project
 
                                      21
<PAGE>
 
as agreed upon with the customer at the project's inception. The Company
generally seeks to obtain an adjustment in its fees in the event of any
significant change in any of the assumptions upon which the original estimate
was based. Fees for the Company's Balanced Scorecard engagements vary
significantly depending on the size and complexity of the customer's business
and the scope of the engagement, but have ranged from under $100,000 to in
excess of $1,000,000. Since its inception in 1992, the Company has delivered
approximately 105 Balanced Scorecards for different business units within over
30 organizations.
 
  The Company also offers complementary services related to the Balanced
Scorecard. In 1994 the Company developed the Strategic Feedback System, which
is an executive information system that provides senior executives with
desktop access to strategic information presented in the form of performance
measurements derived from the Balanced Scorecard. Fees for SFS engagements
have ranged from approximately $100,000 to approximately $1,000,000. Since its
introduction in 1994, the Company has completed five SFS engagements for four
different organizations. The Company offers SFS services to existing customers
for which it has provided Balanced Scorecard services and to new customers as
an integral part of future Balanced Scorecard services.
 
 Performance Innovation Services Group
 
  The Company's Performance Innovation Services Group designs, develops and
assists in implementing desktop applications using client/server architecture
to support key business processes, such as market and product development,
sales, order fulfillment and customer service. These systems are designed to
enable customers to reduce costs, speed time to market and improve
coordination among knowledge workers.
 
  The Company's desktop applications are used to generate, access and
disseminate information not typically available in existing legacy systems,
including:
 
  . Reference Data: explanations and supporting documentation on products,
   processes and customers, such as product specifications for use in
   responding to customer inquiries.
 
  . Procedural Data: decision support in the form of "if/then" rules,
   interpretations and best practice information, such as a checklist of
   remedial steps to be taken following the discovery of a billing error.
 
  . Performance Data: feedback measurements regarding individual and process
   performance, such as proposal to sales ratios used by an organization's
   sales force.
 
The Company believes that the availability of this type of data is critical to
improving knowledge worker productivity.
 
  The Company has designed and developed desktop applications both independent
of and as follow-ons to Balanced Scorecard engagements. In situations in which
Renaissance has not previously prepared a Balanced Scorecard for the customer,
Renaissance typically prepares an abbreviated Balanced Scorecard to assess the
strategic objectives to be addressed as part of the design and development of
the desktop application.
 
  In developing desktop applications, the Company uses rapid prototyping
techniques, standard database and groupware software, application development
tools and reusable software components. In addition, the Company has developed
customizable templates and tools for use in system design. These techniques,
tools and components are intended to reduce development time and project costs
and increase the productivity of the Company's professionals.
 
  Fees for services provided by the Company's Performance Innovation Services
Group typically are based on the project schedule, Renaissance staffing
requirements, the level of customer involvement and the scope of the project
as agreed upon with the customer at the project's inception. The Company
generally seeks to obtain an adjustment in its fees in the event of any
significant change in any of the assumptions upon which the original estimate
was based. Fees for the Company's desktop application engagements vary
significantly depending on the size and complexity of the customer's business
and the scope of the engagement, but have

ranged from under $500,000 for a pilot system to in excess of $3,000,000 for a
large multi-application engagement. Since its inception in 1992, the Company
has performed 26 engagements involving the design and development of desktop
applications for 16 organizations.
 
MARKETING, SALES AND CUSTOMERS
 
  The Company markets its services to senior executives of large corporations
both directly and on a collaborative basis with Gemini. The Company markets
its services in the United States through its Boston headquarters and its
Chicago and New York offices and in Europe through its London office. The
Company is in the process of increasing its European operations, which it
conducts principally out of its London office. See Note 11 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
  The Company continues to expand its direct marketing capabilities by hiring
industry sector specialists to undertake targeted business development
initiatives in the following industries: financial services; insurance; oil,
gas and chemical; computers and communications; healthcare and
pharmaceuticals; and retail and other. The Company is seeking marketing
alliances with technology providers who offer products or services that
complement the Company's service offerings.
 
  The Company employs a variety of business development and marketing
techniques to communicate directly with current and prospective customers,
including authoring of articles and other publications regarding the Company's
methodologies, regular newsletters and direct mail initiatives and executive
seminars featuring presentations by senior officers of key customers. A
significant portion of Renaissance's marketing activities is carried out by
senior Renaissance executives.
 
  The following table sets forth a list of selected customers for which the

  An important component of the Company's marketing strategy is to offer
additional services to existing customers. For example, the Company's Balanced
Scorecard services often result in follow-on projects for other business units
within the customer organization. In the first three fiscal quarters of 1996,
the Company provided services to 13 of the 37 customers for whom the Company
provided services in 1995.
 
  In 1995 and the first three fiscal quarters of 1996, revenues from services
and other amounts billable to Gemini accounted for approximately 24% and 27%,
respectively, of the Company's total revenues, and revenues from services
billable to divisions of AT&T accounted for approximately 36% and 46%,
respectively, of the Company's total revenues in such periods. In 1995,
revenues from services billable to CIGNA accounted for approximately 12% of
the Company's total revenues. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

RELATIONSHIP WITH GEMINI
 
  Since 1993 the Company has been a party to a Teaming Agreement with Gemini
pursuant to which the Company and Gemini have agreed to perform on a
collaborative basis certain service offerings obtained as a result of Gemini
marketing efforts or joint Gemini/Renaissance marketing efforts. These joint
service offerings include Balanced Scorecard and desktop application design,
development and implementation engagements.
 
  Gemini is a worldwide consulting firm that provides business and system
transformation services which are complementary to Renaissance's service
offerings. The Company believes that its relationship with Gemini currently
provides the Company with access to potential customers that the Company would
not otherwise be able to obtain. Approximately 79%, 54% and 43% of the
Company's revenues in 1994, 1995 and the first three fiscal quarters of 1996,
respectively, resulted from its relationship with Gemini; approximately 65%,
24% and 27%, respectively, of revenues were from services and other amounts
billable to Gemini and approximately 14%, 30% and 16%, respectively, of
revenues were from services billable directly to third parties. In many of
these engagements, the Company provided services as a subcontractor to Gemini.
 
  The Company and Gemini have entered into the Restated Teaming Agreement,
which will become effective upon the closing of this offering. The following
is a summary of the material terms of the Restated Teaming Agreement.
 
  The Restated Teaming Agreement has a term ending on November 1, 1999. It is
subject to termination by Gemini as a result of, among other things, the
occurrence of a change in control of Renaissance, which is defined generally
to mean (i) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company, (ii) the consummation of a transaction pursuant to
which any person (other than an existing stockholder or a Gemini competitor,
as defined in the Restated Teaming Agreement) becomes the beneficial owner of
securities representing more than 40% of the combined voting power of the
Company, (iii) the consummation of a transaction pursuant to which a Gemini
competitor becomes the beneficial owner of securities representing more than
25% of the combined voting power of the Company, or (iv) a merger or
consolidation of the Company with any other entity resulting in the holders of
Renaissance Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction ceasing to hold
at least 50% of the combined voting power of Renaissance or the surviving
entity after such transaction. In the event that the Restated Teaming
Agreement is validly terminated by either party prior to its expiration,
Renaissance is required to pay a termination fee to Gemini in an amount
declining from $1.6 million in the event of a termination prior to November 1,
1996 to $250,000 in the event of a termination prior to November 1, 1999. In
addition, in such event, various payment obligations contained in the Restated
Teaming Agreement will terminate on the termination date.
 
  During the term of the Restated Teaming Agreement, the Company and Gemini
have agreed to staff jointly engagements for their collaborative service
offerings. Final staffing decisions are made by the party with primary
responsibility for the customer.
 
  Under the Restated Teaming Agreement, the Company has agreed to train Gemini
in use of the Company's Balanced Scorecard, desktop application and certain
other methodologies prior to November 1, 1998, to perpetually license these
methodologies, to the extent developed prior to November 1, 1998, to Gemini on
a non-exclusive basis and to perform certain services for Gemini in 1996. In
exchange, Gemini has agreed to pay the Company an annual fee of $2.0 million
in each of the years during the three year period ending October 31, 1997.
Revenue for these services will be recognized by the Company as the services
are performed pursuant to the terms of the Restated Teaming Agreement. The
license of methodologies by Renaissance to Gemini expressly excludes any
software created by Renaissance. The Company is obligated to pay Gemini an
annual fee of $400,000 in each of the years during the three year period
ending October 31, 1997 for certain training services provided by Gemini to
Renaissance personnel.
 
  As part of the Restated Teaming Agreement, Gemini has committed to provide
the Company with certain levels of bookings. The minimum bookings commitments
total $12.0 million in the twelve month period ending October 31, 1997 and
$12.5 million in each of the twelve month periods ending October 31, 1998 and
1999. As described below, these commitments represent a 50% reduction in
Gemini's minimum bookings commitments under the Teaming Agreement. For the
twelve month period ended October 31, 1995, bookings attributable to Gemini
under the Teaming Agreement (without regard to the application of bookings
attributable to prior period deficiencies) totalled approximately $8.7
million. For the twelve month period ending October 31, 1996, the Company
estimates that such bookings (without regard to application of bookings to
prior period deficiencies) will total approximately $10.3 million.
 
                                      24
<PAGE>
 
  In the event that during any of the six month periods during the term of the
Restated Teaming Agreement bookings obtained by Renaissance from Gemini
customers or customers of joint service offerings by Renaissance and Gemini
are less than the specified minimum bookings, Gemini may retain the services
of Renaissance for a fee equal to the amount of the deficiency. If at the end
of twelve months a bookings deficiency still remains, Gemini is required to
make a compensating payment to Renaissance of 25% of the remaining deficiency
in full satisfaction of the bookings deficiency. In no event will Gemini be
obligated to make a payment with respect to any bookings deficiency in an
amount in excess of 25% of such deficiency.
 
  The Company monitors Gemini's progress in meeting its bookings commitments
through regular conference calls and meetings with Gemini marketing
representatives. Under the Restated Teaming Agreement, "bookings" are
generally defined as gross fees (excluding expense reimbursements) committed
to Renaissance as a result of the relationship with Gemini during the
applicable six month period for services to be provided within twelve months
of the commitment, as evidenced by a written agreement between the Company and
the customer, plus any such fees actually collected by the Company during such
period which are not evidenced by a written agreement. Gemini generally is
treated as having satisfied its bookings commitment regardless of whether
revenues are recognized by Renaissance with respect to a particular
engagement. For example, under the Restated Teaming Agreement, 50% of the fees
attributable to a cancelled contract count towards Gemini's bookings
commitment if such cancellation is not primarily attributable to the actions
or omissions of Gemini. In accordance with industry practice, nearly all of
the Company's contracts are terminable by either the customer or the Company
on short or no notice and without penalty. In addition, Gemini does not
guarantee the collectibility of any receivables resulting from customer
engagements under the Restated Teaming Agreement.
 
  The amount of Gemini's bookings commitment is subject to adjustment as a
result of, among other things, any failure by Renaissance to make available to
Gemini such quantities of marketing and sales resources and such number of
staff for joint service offerings as may from time to time be mutually agreed
upon by the parties. In addition, Gemini's minimum bookings commitment
terminates in the event that any of Messrs. Lasker, Lubin or Norton ceases for
any reason to be employed by the Company on a full time basis. In such event,
the parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith to establish new
commitments for the remainder of the term of the Restated Teaming Agreement.
 
  The Restated Teaming Agreement supersedes a prior agreement entered into
between the Company and Gemini in October 1994, as amended through March 1996.
In general, the Restated Teaming Agreement provides for a reduction by 50% in
Gemini's minimum bookings commitments for the twelve month periods ended
October 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999 and the elimination of various contractual
covenants in favor of Gemini, including non-competition restrictions, rights
of first refusal, rights of first offer and limitations on issuances and
transfers of securities by the Company and the Principal Stockholders, which
were previously set forth in the Teaming Agreement. The Restated Teaming
Agreement also provides for a reduction in the termination fee payable by
Renaissance in the event of a valid termination of the agreement by either
party and for the payment of certain license fees by Gemini to Renaissance in
five equal installments of $1.0 million during the period commencing on the
date of the closing of this offering and ending on November 1, 1998.
 
  Simultaneously with the closing of the Company's initial public offering in
April 1995, the Company sold to Gemini two warrants (the "Gemini Warrants") to
purchase up to 633,600 shares of Common Stock. In addition, Messrs. Lasker and
Lubin and Melissa E. Norton, the wife of David Norton (collectively, the
"Principal Stockholders") sold to Gemini, at such closing, options (the
"Gemini Options") to purchase up to an aggregate of 150,000 shares of Common
Stock held by them. The Gemini Warrants and the Gemini Options were
subsequently transferred by Gemini to the Gemini Selling Stockholder. The
Gemini Selling Stockholder will exercise the Gemini Warrants and the Gemini
Options and sell the shares of Common Stock acquired thereby in connection
with this offering. In connection therewith, the Gemini Selling Stockholder
will pay to the Company and the Principal Stockholders approximately $10.3
million and $2.7 million, respectively, representing the exercise price for
the Gemini Warrants and Gemini Options and, in the case of the payment to the
Principal Stockholders, the repayment with interest of the promissory notes
issued by Gemini in connection with the purchase of the Gemini Options.

DEVELOPMENT OF SERVICE OFFERINGS
 
  A significant element of Renaissance's strategy is the continuous
improvement of existing service offerings and the development of new and
related services. To implement this strategy, Renaissance seeks to identify
new and enhanced methodologies developed in the course of customer engagements
and to disseminate these developments as "best practices" through internal
training programs. In addition, the Company undertakes internal development
activities to enhance and extend its methodologies and technology. The Company
has organized a team of professionals whose primary responsibility is the
management of the Company's practice development efforts. This group has
developed an internal knowledge management system that provides rapid access
to new developments and support materials to all of the Company's employees.
 
  In January 1996, the Company formally announced its Web-based information
services offering, an extension of its core performance innovation and
technology capabilities. This offering applies the Company's performance
innovation expertise to the structuring of business practices using the
capabilities afforded by the Internet's World Wide Web. The Company's offering
is designed to enable the continuous capture of business information and the
dynamic organization and delivery of that information. The Company has
completed four engagements of this offering and is currently involved in
similar engagements with two other clients. The Company has also developed a
core set of technologies that provide Web-based interfaces to enterprise
information systems as well as software agents for automated information
gathering and task monitoring.
 
COMPETITION
 
  The management consulting and client/server systems integration markets
(which include the markets for the Company's strategic and performance
innovation services) are comprised of a large number of participants, are
subject to rapid change and are highly competitive. Primary competitors
include general management consulting firms and the consulting practices of
the "Big Six" accounting firms; systems consulting and integration firms; and
the professional service groups of computer equipment companies. In addition,
customers may elect to increase their internal strategic planning and
information systems resources to satisfy their needs for strategic and
performance innovation solutions. The Company may also face competition from
Gemini following the termination of the Restated Teaming Agreement in light of
the methodology license set forth therein. See "Relationship with Gemini."
 
  Many participants in the management consulting and client/server systems
integration markets have significantly greater financial, technical and
marketing resources, greater name recognition and generate greater consulting
and systems integration revenues than does Renaissance. In addition, the
management consulting and client/server systems integration markets are highly
fragmented and served by numerous firms, many of which serve only their
respective local markets. The Company believes that the strong linkage between
its management consulting services and client/server systems integration
capabilities distinguishes it from its competitors.
 
  The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in the
management consulting and client/server systems integration industries include
the nature of the service offering, quality of service, responsiveness to
customer needs, experience, technical expertise and price. The Company
believes that it competes favorably with respect to these factors.
 
HUMAN RESOURCES
 
  As of September 27, 1996, the Company had a total staff of 148.5 full-time
equivalent employees, comprised of 143 full-time salaried employees, 1 part-
time salaried employees and 5 full- or part-time independent contractors. The
Company's total staff of 149 employees as of September 27, 1996 was comprised
of 111 professionals and 38 administrative employees.

<PAGE>
 
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
 
  The Company's success is dependent in part upon its proprietary
methodologies and tools and other proprietary intellectual rights. A
significant portion of the Company's management consulting services are based
on the Balanced Scorecard concept described in three Harvard Business Review
articles and in The Balanced Scorecard, a recently published book, all of
which were co-authored by one of the Company's founders. The Company believes
that the Balanced Scorecard name is in the public domain. As a result, third
parties may provide services using the Balanced Scorecard name which are
competitive with the services offered by the Company.
 
  The Company relies upon a combination of trade secret, non-disclosure and
other contractual arrangements, and copyright and trademark laws, to protect
its proprietary rights. The Company holds no patents or registered copyrights,
trademarks or service marks. The Company generally enters into confidentiality
agreements with its employees, consultants, customers and potential customers
and limits access to and distribution of its proprietary information. There
can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company in this regard will be
adequate to deter misappropriation of its proprietary information or that the
Company will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to
enforce its intellectual property rights.
 
  The Company's business includes the development of custom software
applications in connection with specific customer engagements. Ownership of
such software is generally assigned to the customer. In addition, the Company
also develops object-oriented software components that can be reused in
software application development and certain foundation and application
software products, or software "tools," most of which remain the property of
the Company.
 
  Although the Company believes that its services and products do not infringe
on the intellectual property rights of others, there can be no assurance that
such a claim will not be asserted against the Company in the future.
 
FACILITIES
 
  The Company's headquarters and principal administrative, sales and
marketing, and system development operations are located in approximately
40,000 square feet of leased space in Lincoln, Massachusetts. The Company
occupies these premises under a lease expiring in August 1999. The Company
also occupies office space in Chicago, New York and London. The Company
anticipates that additional space will be required as business expands and
believes that it will be able to obtain suitable space as needed.

     officer is determined under rules promulgated by the Securities and
     Exchange Commission, and the information is not necessarily indicative of
     beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial
     ownership includes any shares as to which the individual has sole or
     shared voting power or investment power and also any shares which the
     individual has the right to acquire within 60 days after September 30,
     1996 through the exercise of any stock option or other right. The
     inclusion herein of such shares, however, does not constitute an
     admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial
     owner of such shares. Unless otherwise indicated, each person or entity
     named in the table has sole voting power and investment power (or shares
     such power with his or her spouse) with respect to all shares of capital

</TABLE>
 
  The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters
are subject to certain conditions precedent, including the absence of any
material adverse change in the Company's business and the receipt of certain
certificates, opinions and letters from the Company and the Selling
Stockholders, their counsel and the Company's independent auditors. The nature
of the Underwriters' obligation is such that they are committed to purchase
all shares of Common Stock offered hereby if any of such shares are purchased.
 
  The Underwriters propose to offer the shares of Common Stock directly to the
public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus and to certain dealers at such price less a concession not in
excess of $1.10 per share. The Underwriters may allow and such dealers may
reallow a concession not in excess of $.10 per share to certain other dealers.
After the public offering of the shares, the offering price and other selling
terms may be changed by the Underwriters. The Underwriters have informed the
Company that the Underwriters do not intend to confirm sales to accounts over
which they exercise discretionary authority.
 
  The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable no later
than 30 days after the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate
of 165,000 additional shares of Common Stock at the public offering price,
less the underwriting discount, set forth on the cover of this Prospectus. To
the extent that the Underwriters exercise this option, each of the
Underwriters will have a firm commitment to purchase approximately the same
percentage thereof which the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased
by it shown in the above table bears to the number of shares of Common Stock
offered hereby. The Company will be obligated, pursuant to the option, to sell
such shares to the Underwriters to the extent the option is exercised. The
Underwriters may exercise such option only to cover over-allotments made in
connection with the sale of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby.
 
  The offering of the shares is made for delivery when, as and if accepted by
the Underwriters and subject to prior sale and to withdrawal, cancellation or
modification of the offering without notice. The Underwriters reserve the
right to reject an order for the purchase of shares in whole or in part.
 
  The Company and the Selling Stockholders have agreed to indemnify the
Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required
to make in respect thereof.
 
                                      32
<PAGE>
 
  The Selling Stockholders and the directors and executive officers of the
Company, who will own in the aggregate 2,630,852 shares of Common Stock after
this offering (assuming no exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment
option), have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, that they will not
without the prior written consent of Hambrecht & Quist LLC, offer, sell or
otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them
during the 90 day period after the date of this Prospectus. The Company has
agreed that it will not, without the Underwriters' prior written consent,
offer, sell, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of any shares
of Common Stock during the 90 day period after the date of this Prospectus,
except that the Company may issue, and grant options to purchase, shares of
Common Stock under its current equity incentive and stock purchase plans and
under currently outstanding options. The Company may also issue shares of
Common Stock in connection with any acquisition of another company if the
terms of such issuance provide that such Common Stock shall not be resold
prior to the expiration of the 90 day period referenced in the preceding
sentence. Sales of such shares in the future could adversely affect the market
price of the Common Stock.
 
  Hambrecht & Quist LLC and Cowen & Company acted as representatives of the
underwriters of the Company's initial public offering in April 1995, and, with
Robertson, Stephens & Company LLC, as underwriters of the Company's public
offering in May 1996. In connection therewith, the underwriters were paid an
underwriting discount.
 
  In general, the rules of the Commission will prohibit the Underwriters from
making a market in the Company's Common Stock during the "cooling off" period
immediately preceding the commencement of sales in the offering. The
Commission has, however, adopted exemptions from these rules that permit
passive market making under certain conditions. These rules permit an
underwriter to continue to make a market subject to the conditions, among
others, that its bid not exceed the highest bid by a market maker not
connected with the offering and that its net purchases on any one trading day
not exceed prescribed limits. Pursuant to these exemptions, certain
Underwriters, selling group members (if any) or their respective affiliates
intend to engage in passive market making in the Company's Common Stock during
the cooling off period.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
  The validity of the shares of Common Stock offered by the Company hereby
will be passed upon for the Company by Hale and Dorr, Boston, Massachusetts,
and for the Underwriters by Foley, Hoag & Eliot LLP, Boston, Massachusetts.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
Renaissance Solutions, Inc.:
 
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Renaissance
Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and
September 27, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine months ended September
27, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Renaissance Solutions, Inc.
and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and September 27, 1996,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine months ended
September 27, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

1. REORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  Renaissance Solutions, Inc. ("Renaissance" or the "Company") was organized
as a Delaware corporation in March 1992. In December 1993, the Company
contributed all of its assets, subject to all of its liabilities, to
Renaissance Strategy Group Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership
(the "Partnership"), in exchange for the sole general partnership interest in
the Partnership. The business of the Company was conducted by the Partnership
from December 1, 1993 to April 3, 1995. Pursuant to a reorganization agreement
(the "Reorganization Agreement") entered into among the Company, the
Partnership, the limited partners of the Partnership, the holders of certain
units of economic interest ("Units") in the Partnership and the holders of
certain options to purchase Units, effective April 3, 1995 (i) the Company
issued 4,567,396 shares of its Common Stock in exchange for all of the
outstanding limited partnership interests and Units in the Partnership, and
(ii) options to purchase 1,730,000 Units outstanding as of such date were
exchanged for options to purchase 432,605 shares of Common Stock. Immediately
thereafter, the Partnership was dissolved and all of its assets and
liabilities were distributed to and assumed by the Company. The reorganization
of the Company described above is referred to herein as the "Reorganization."
The Reorganization has been accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of
interests and, except as otherwise indicated or where the context otherwise
requires, the information set forth in these financial statements has been
adjusted to give retroactive effect to the Reorganization. References herein
to the "Company" and "Renaissance" refer to Renaissance Solutions, Inc. and,
with respect to operations between December 1, 1993 and April 3, 1995 (the
date of the Reorganization), the Partnership, and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Renaissance Solutions Limited and Renaissance Securities Corp.
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Nature of Business
 
  The Company provides management consulting and client/server systems
integration services, primarily for large corporations.
 
 Fiscal Years and Quarters
 
  The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31. For quarterly reporting
purposes, the Company uses a thirteen week accounting period.
 
 Interim Results (Unaudited)
 
  In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim unaudited
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the
audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim
periods.
 
 Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                   (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)

 Revenue Recognition
 
  The Company currently derives most of its revenues from professional service
activities. Revenues on service contracts are recorded under the percentage of
completion method based upon the number of labor hours incurred compared to
the total estimated hours at estimated realizable rates. Provisions are made
for estimated unbillable and uncollectible amounts. Revenues are reported net
of reimbursable expenses which are billed and collected from clients.
Reimbursable expenses were approximately $396, $1,477 and $2,247 for the years
ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $1,725 and $2,653
for the periods ended September 29, 1995 and September 27, 1996, respectively.
When billings exceed revenues earned and/or expenses incurred, the excess is
recorded as advance payments.
 
  In September 1996, Gemini satisfied a bookings deficiency under the Teaming
Agreement (Note 7) by making a cash payment of $750 which has been included in
revenues for the nine months ended September 27, 1996.
 
 Research and Development Costs
 
  Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, and for the period ended September 27, 1996,
the Company did not incur material research and development costs.
 
 Property and Equipment
 
  Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major additions and improvements
are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to expense.
 
  Depreciation is computed using straight-line methods over the estimated
useful lives of the assets as follows:

 Income Taxes
 
  From its inception in 1992 to immediately prior to April 3, 1995 (the date
of its Reorganization), the Company was either an S corporation or a limited
partnership for federal income tax reporting purposes, and the taxable income
of the Company for that period was reportable by and taxable directly to the
Company's stockholders or partners rather than to the Company. During the
period commencing on March 23, 1992 and ending on December 1, 1993, the
Company operated as an S corporation. From December 1, 1993 through April 3,
1995, the Company operated as a limited partnership. Accordingly, no federal
or state income tax provision was required for the Company for the years ended
December 31, 1993 and 1994, and through the date of the Reorganization.

                   (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)

  Effective with the closing of the Company's initial public offering, the
Company has been subject to federal and state income taxes as a C corporation.
 
  Effective with its inception, the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 utilizes the liability method, and deferred taxes
are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences
between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the
provisions of the enacted tax laws.
 
 Foreign Currency Translation
 
  The functional currency for the Company's U.K. subsidiary, Renaissance
Solutions Limited, is the British pound. Assets and liabilities are translated
at period-end rates of exchange, and income and expenses are translated at
average rates of exchange for the period. The resulting translation
adjustments are excluded from net earnings and accumulated as a separate
component of stockholders' equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency
transactions are not material and are reflected in net income.
 
 Income Per Share
 
  Pro forma income per share is based on the weighted average number of common
and dilutive common equivalent shares (common stock options) outstanding. The
pro forma weighted average number of common shares assumes that 10,002 shares
of common stock issued in March 1994 and all stock options granted in January
1995 and March 1995 were outstanding for all periods presented. Common
equivalent shares are not included in the per share calculations where the
effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, except in accordance with
Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83. The
Bulletin requires that all common shares issued and options to purchase shares
of common stock granted by the Company during the twelve-month period prior to
filing of a proposed initial public offering be included in the calculation as
if they were outstanding for all periods. The pro forma weighted average
number of common shares for 1994 and through April 11, 1995 also assumes that
approximately 300,000 shares of the 1,400,000 shares issued in the Company's
initial public offering, the proceeds of which were used to repay stockholder
notes totaling approximately $3,426 (see Note 8), were outstanding.
 
 Cash Flow Information
 
  The Company considers all bank deposits and short-term investments having
original maturities of ninety days or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
 
 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
  The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121") in the period ended September 27, 1996. SFAS
121 establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets,
certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets. There
was no effect of adoption of SFAS 121 on the financial statements.
 
 Stock-Based Compensation
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") became effective in 1996. As permitted by
SFAS 123, the Company has elected to continue to

7. GEMINI RELATIONSHIP
 
 Teaming Agreement (See Note 13)
 
  The Company has entered into a Teaming Agreement dated as of October 17,
1994 (the "Teaming Agreement") with Gemini Consulting, Inc. ("Gemini")
pursuant to which the Company and Gemini have agreed to market and perform
certain service offerings on a collaborative basis. Approximately 79%, 54% and
43% of the Company's revenues in 1994 and 1995 and the period ended September
27, 1996 resulted from its relationship with Gemini; approximately 65%, 24%
and 27% of revenues were from services and other amounts billable to Gemini
and approximately 14%, 30% and 16% of revenues were from services billable
directly to third parties. Gemini has committed to provide the Company with
certain minimum bookings during the three-year term of the Teaming Agreement,
commencing November 1, 1994, subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions.

                   (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)
 
  Since the inception of the Teaming Agreement, Gemini has not met certain of
the minimum bookings commitments. In accordance with the Teaming Agreement,
Gemini has satisfied these bookings deficiencies through a combination of
revenues generated from client work referred to the Company, work performed by
the Company as a subcontractor for Gemini, work performed by the Company
directly for Gemini, the acquisition by Gemini from the Company for $2,200 of
certain Company program designs and related materials and, in September 1996,
a cash payment of $750. The $2,200 and $750 are included in revenue for the
nine months ended September 27, 1996.
 
  As part of the Teaming Agreement, the Company has agreed to train Gemini
personnel in the use of the "Balanced Scorecard" and certain of the Company's
other consulting methodologies during the first four years of the term of the
Teaming Agreement and to license these methodologies, to the extent developed
during the first four years of the term of the Teaming Agreement, to Gemini on
a non-exclusive basis. In exchange, Gemini has agreed to pay the Company an
annual fee of $2,000 in each of the first three years of the term of the
Teaming Agreement. Revenues are being recognized as the services are performed
over the first four years of the term of the Teaming Agreement. The Company is
also obligated to pay Gemini an annual fee of $400 in each of the first three
years of the term of the Teaming Agreement for certain training services to be
provided by Gemini to Renaissance personnel during that period.
 
  Pursuant to the Teaming Agreement, Renaissance has agreed not to work for or
enter into any comparable teaming agreement with certain specified competitors
of Gemini during the term of the Teaming Agreement and for a period of one
year thereafter. In addition, the Teaming Agreement imposes certain
restrictions on the ability of the Company to issue additional capital stock
and on the ability of the Company's principal stockholders to dispose of their
Common Stock. The Teaming Agreement is subject to earlier termination upon the
occurrence of certain events.
 
  On February 14, 1995, the Company and Gemini amended the Teaming Agreement
to extend the term of the Teaming Agreement from three years to five years. In
the event that the Teaming Agreement is terminated by Gemini during the first
four years following the commencement of the Teaming Agreement as a result of
the Company's breach or bankruptcy or as a result of a change in control of
the Company, Renaissance is required to pay a termination fee to Gemini in the
amount of $1,600.
 
  Simultaneously with the closing of the Company's initial public offering on
April 11, 1995, Messrs. Harry Lasker and David Lubin and Ms. Melissa Norton,
the wife of David Norton (the "Principal Stockholders"), sold to Gemini
options for the purchase of 150,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Gemini
Options") for an aggregate purchase price of $675. Each Principal Stockholder
sold to Gemini an option for up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price equal to $13.00 per share. The Gemini Options are transferable
and are exercisable during the four year period commencing on April 11, 1996,
provided that in no event may the Gemini Options be exercised unless and until
Gemini ceases to be subject to, or obtains a waiver of, certain regulatory and
contractual restrictions which prohibit Gemini from owning more than 4.9% of
the Company. Gemini is entitled to registration rights with respect to the
Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of the Gemini Options, and paid the
purchase price for the Gemini Options by the delivery of promissory notes to
the Principal Stockholders (the "Gemini Option Notes"). The Gemini Option
Notes bear interest at a floating rate equal to the prime rate published from
time to time in The Wall Street Journal and are payable upon the first to
occur of the exercise of the Gemini Options or April 11, 2000.

* 45% of total revenues in 1994 were from services provided by the Company to
Customer C as a subcontractor of Customer A.
 
  The Company's customers are principally large corporations from whom the
Company does not require collateral. The Company has not experienced
significant losses related to receivables from individual customers or groups
of customers in a particular industry or geographic area. The Company
maintains reserves for potential credit losses which to date have not been
significant.
 
12. 401(K) PROFIT-SHARING PLAN
 
  The Company has a 401(k) profit-sharing plan (the "Plan") established in
1994 and covering substantially all domestic employees. The Plan allows each
participant to defer up to 20% of annual earnings up to an amount not to
exceed an annual statutory maximum. Subject to the approval of the Board of
Directors on an annual basis, the Company may make profit-sharing
contributions and/or match employee deferrals. For the years ended December
31, 1994 and 1995, the Company's contributions totalled $14 and $25,
respectively.
 
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  The Company and Gemini have entered into a Third Amended and Restated
Teaming Agreement (the "Restated Teaming Agreement") to be effective upon the
closing of the offering contemplated by this Prospectus (the "Offering"). The
Restated Teaming Agreement would supersede the prior Teaming Agreement (Note
7).
 
  In general, the Restated Teaming Agreement provides for a reduction by 50%
in Gemini's minimum bookings commitments for the twelve month periods ended
October 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999 and the elimination of various contractual
covenants in favor of Gemini, including non-competition restrictions, rights
of first refusal, rights of first offer and limitations on issuances and
transfers of securities by the Company and the founders of the Company and
their affiliates, which were previously set forth in the Teaming Agreement.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
     (INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 29, 1995 IS
                                   UNAUDITED)
                   (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)

The Restated Teaming Agreement also provides for a reduction in the termination
fee payable by the Company in the event of a valid termination of the agreement
by either party and for the payment of certain license fees by Gemini to the
Company in five equal installments of $1,000 during the period commencing on
the date of the closing of the Offering and ending on November 1, 1998.
 
  In the event that during any of the six month periods during the term of the
Restated Teaming Agreement bookings obtained by the Company from Gemini
customers or customers of joint service offerings by the Company and Gemini are
less than the specified minimum bookings, Gemini may retain the services of the
Company for a fee equal to the amount of the deficiency. If at the end of
twelve months a bookings deficiency still remains, Gemini is required to make a
compensating payment to the Company of 25% of the remaining deficiency in full
satisfaction of the bookings deficiency. In no event will Gemini be obligated
to make a payment with respect to any bookings deficiency in an amount in
excess of 25% of such deficiency.
 
  During the six month period commenced on May 1, 1996 and ending on October
31, 1996, Gemini's bookings commitment to the Company is $8,000. Approximately
$4,000 in revenues generated from the estimated $5,000 in bookings in this six
month period will be applied to satisfy the prior period deficiency. The
Company and Gemini have agreed that Gemini will satisfy the bookings deficiency
for this period with a one time payment by Gemini to the Company of
approximately $1,600 (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the
Restated Teaming Agreement), to be made simultaneously with the closing of the
Offering.
