Annual Report to Stockholders. The results of operations for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results
of operations for the entire year ending December 31, 1998.
2. Discontinued Operations - On May 6, 1998, the Company announced its

with this decision, the Company has taken an after tax charge of approximately
$2.9 million as the estimated loss on disposal of the segment, including
estimated operating losses during the phase-out period and up to the anticipated

Also included in the restructuring charges are the write-down of leasehold
improvements and other costs associated with underutilized and unnecessary
facilities, totaling $ 5.9 million, and miscellaneous other charges of
approximately $0.8 million.
4. Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share is based on the
weighted average shares outstanding without regard for common stock equivalents
such as options and warrants. Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of
common stock equivalents. Earnings per share for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997 have been restated to reflect the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". The following
illustrates the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic
and diluted earnings per share computations:

5. Significant Clients - The Company recorded revenue in the amount of
$4.4 million, or 26.7% of total revenues, and $7.3 million, or 22.7% of total
revenues, from one client during the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,
respectively. Revenues from two significant clients totaled $4.8 million, or
26.6% of total revenues, and $8.1 million, or 23.8% of total revenues for the

7. Deferred Taxes - As a result of the restructuring charges and losses
from discontinued operations recognized in the second quarter, the Company
increased its long-term deferred tax asset from $0.4 million to $6.0 million.
The $6.0 million, in addition to a previously recorded $0.8 million current
deferred tax asset, will be applied against future tax liabilities resulting
from taxable net income. No deferred tax valuation adjustment is deemed
necessary as a result of management's evaluation of the likelihood that all of
the deferred tax assets will be realized. Management believes that the
continuing operations will remain profitable. The Company has no operating loss
carryforwards prior to 1998. Unprofitable operations have been discontinued and
are being marketed for sale. The Company will continue in future periods to
evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax asset and make necessary
adjustments through charges to expense should projected future taxable income
be insufficient to realize the benefit of the deferred tax asset. The following
pro forma table sets forth the results of operations of the Company excluding
the results of discontinued operations and restructuring charges in the second
quarter and other non-recurring charges of $0.8 million in the first quarter.

8. Revolving Credit Agreement - The Company maintains a $20 million
revolving credit agreement with Comerica Bank. This agreement expires in
December 2003 and includes a call option in December 2001. Additionally, terms
of the agreement provide for a $1 million per quarter reduction in any
outstanding balances after the first two years. Loans under this agreement bear
interest at the prime rate or other similar interest options. At June 30, 1998,

outstanding under the credit line was $2.3 million and total interest paid, at
an annual rate of 8.5%, was $0.1 million.
9. Subsequent Events - On July 9, 1998, the Company announced the

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED, THE DISCUSSION THAT FOLLOWS PERTAINS TO CONTINUING
OPERATIONS ONLY.
Thomas Group, Inc. (the "Company") derives the majority of its revenues from
monthly fixed and incentive (performance-oriented) fees for the implementation
of Total Cycle Time(R) programs. Performance-oriented fees are tied to
improvements in a variety of client performance measures typically involving
response time, asset utilization, productivity, and profitability.
The following table sets forth the percentages which items in the statement of

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
REVENUE - Revenue from continuing operations decreased 11% in the second quarter
of 1998 from the second quarter of 1997 primarily as a result of contract
completions and certain contract cancellations in the fourth quarter of 1997.
11
12
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
The overall revenue decrease resulted from a $1.5 million decline in fixed fee
revenue and a $0.5 million decline in incentive revenue. Fixed fee and incentive
revenue represent 78% and 22% of revenues, respectively, for the second quarters
of 1998 and 1997.
The United States component of revenue decreased 17% due to contract
cancellations. European revenue increased 20% due to the addition of a
significant contract. Asia/Pacific revenue decreased 20% due to the economic
situation in Asia, which has also affected the company's ability to generate new
business in the region.
GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit was 39.2% of revenues in the second quarter of 1998
compared to 44.1% of revenues in the second quarter of 1997. This decrease in
percentage was primarily the result of decreased revenue.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Selling, general and
administrative expenses consist of all operating expenses not directly
associated with the generation of revenue. A significant portion of selling,
general, and administrative expenses are for corporate personnel (including
corporate officers), non-program-related travel and entertainment, corporate
facilities costs, and professional and legal costs. In the second quarter of
1998, selling, general and administrative expenses also include restructuring
costs.
Selling, general and administrative expense, excluding the restructuring charge,
as a percentage of total revenue increased to 26.3% in the first quarter of 1998
from 25.4% in the second quarter of 1997. The increase in percentage is
primarily due to decreased revenue. Selling, general and administrative costs
actually decreased $0.3 million after adjusting for the restructuring charge for
the period as a result of cost cutting measures including the following
write-downs and charges.
The restructuring costs of $9.7 million included approximately $3.0 million for
personnel reduction costs and $6.7 million for the write-down of leasehold
improvements and other costs associated with underutilized and unnecessary
facilities.
OTHER - The Company's effective tax rate was 38% in the second quarter of 1998,
as compared to the 40% rate in the second quarter of 1997. The decrease is
attributable to certain adjustments made to accommodate the restructuring charge
and discontinued operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Net loss in the second quarter of 1998 was $4.7 million,
or $0.94 per share, a decrease of $6.8 million compared to net income of $2.1
million, or $0.35 per share, in the second quarter of 1997.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - Loss from discontinued operations was $0.3 million
compared to a net loss of $0.5 million in the comparable quarter of the prior
year, primarily due to the inclusion of only one month of losses in the second
quarter of 1998.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
REVENUE - Revenue decreased approximately 5% in the first half of 1998 as
compared to the first half of 1997 primarily as a result of contract completions
and contract cancellations. The decrease consisted of a $1.0 million decrease in
fixed fee revenue and a $0.8 million decrease in incentive revenue. Fixed fee
and incentive revenues represent 78% and 22%, respectively, of revenue in the
first half of 1998 and 77% and 23% of revenue, respectively, in the first half
of 1997.
The United States component of revenue decreased 14%, primarily as a result of
contract cancellations. European revenue increased 23.3% due to the addition of
a significant contract. Asia/Pacific revenue increased 6% for the comparable
period. Due to economic conditions in the region, management does not anticipate
first half comparable growth in the Asia/Pacific region to be representative of
that which will be attained in subsequent periods.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit was 38.5% of revenues in the first half of 1998
compared to 42.2% of revenues in the first half of 1997. This decrease in
percentage was primarily the result of decreased revenue and the decision to
maintain manpower levels in anticipation of new business acquisition.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Selling, general and
administrative expenses consist of all operating expenses not directly
associated with the generation of revenue. A majority of selling, general, and
administrative expenses are for corporate personnel (including corporate
officers), non-program-related travel and entertainment, corporate facilities
costs, and professional and legal costs. In the six months ended June 30, 1998,
selling, general and administrative expenses also include restructuring costs.
Selling, general and administrative expense, excluding the restructuring charge,
as a percentage of total revenue increased to 29.9% in the first half of 1998
from 25.7% in the first half of 1997, a $0.9 million increase. This increase is
primarily the result of costs associated with the departure of three senior
level managers in the first quarter of 1998. Restructuring costs of $9.7 million
recorded in the second quarter of 1998 are discussed in the previous section.
OTHER - The Company's effective tax rate was 38% in the first half of 1998, as
compared to the 40% rate in the first half of 1997. The decrease is attributable
to certain adjustments made to accommodate the restructuring charge and
discontinued operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - The net loss in the first half of 1998 was $4.3 million,
or $0.77 per share, a decrease of $7.9 million compared to net income of $3.4
million, or $0.56 per share ($0.54 diluted), in the first half of 1997.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - Loss from discontinued operations in the first half of
1998 decreased to $1.1 million as compared to $ 1.2 million for the comparable
period of the prior year, primarily due to the inclusion of only one month of
losses in the second quarter of 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $8.9 million in the first half of 1998
compared to a $3.2 million decrease in the first half of 1997. The major
components of these changes are discussed below:
CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES - Operating activities used cash of $2.3
million in the first half of 1998 compared to a source of cash of $1.1 million
in the first half of 1997. Accounts receivable balances more than 30 days past
due were $1.5 million at June 30, 1998, compared to $1.4 million at December 31,
1997 and $1.3 million at June 30, 1997. Days sales outstanding deteriorated from
41 days at December 31, 1997 to 57 days at June 30, 1998 due to the delay of
payment from a large client. This issue has been resolved and the Company
anticipates prompt receipt of payment in the foreseeable future.
CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES - Cash flows used in investing activities
totaled $0.4 million in the first half of 1998 and were allocable to the
purchase of computers and network computing equipment.
CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES - Cash flows used in financing activities
in the first half of 1998 were primarily for the purchase of outstanding stock
of the Company from the chief executive officer of the Company, who retired in
May 1998. Net advances on the line of credit provided additional resources to
fund operations.
In February 1998, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Mr.
Philip R. Thomas, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to repurchase
shares of common stock of the Company for $8.2 million in cash and

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
satisfaction of a $2.3 million debt to the Company. At the close of the market
on April 24, 1998 the number of shares to be purchased was determined to be 1.3
million shares.
The Company maintains a $20 million revolving credit agreement with Comerica
Bank. This agreement expires in December 2003 and includes a call option in
December 2001. Additionally, terms of the agreement provide for a $1 million per
quarter reduction in any outstanding balances after the first two years. Loans
under this agreement bear interest at the prime rate or other similar interest
options. At June 30, 1998, and August 7, 1998, the balances due on the agreement
were $3.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively. There was no balance for the
comparable period of 1997. During the first half of 1998, the average daily
balance outstanding under the credit line was $2.3 million and total interest
paid, at an annual rate of 8.5%, was $0.1 million.
CASH FLOWS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - Cash used in discontinued operations
in the first half of 1998 totaled $1.2 million as compared to $1.9 million in
the first half of 1997.
DEFERRED TAXES - As a result of the restructuring charges and losses from
discontinued operations recognized in the second quarter, the Company increased
its long-term deferred tax asset from $0.4 million to $6.0 million. The $6.0
million, in addition to a previously recorded $0.8 million current deferred tax
asset, will be applied against future tax liabilities resulting from taxable net
income. No deferred tax valuation adjustment is deemed necessary as a result of
management's evaluation of the likelihood that all of the deferred tax assets
will be realized. Management believes that the continuing operations will remain
profitable. The Company has no operating loss carryforwards prior to 1998.
Unprofitable operations have been discontinued and are being marketed for sale.
The Company will continue in future periods to evaluate the realizability of the
deferred tax asset and make necessary adjustments through charges to expense
should projected future taxable income be insufficient to realize the benefit of
the deferred tax asset. The following pro forma table sets forth the results of
operations of the Company excluding the results of discontinued operations and
restructuring charges in the second quarter and other non-recurring charges of
$0.8 million in the first quarter.
