NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 27, 1998
Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------
Statements included in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition and elsewhere in this document
that do not relate to present or historical conditions are "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and in Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. Additional oral or written forward-looking statements may be made by
the Company from time to time, and such statements may be included in documents
that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such forward-looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause results or outcomes
to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating
to the Company's plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions and
are intended to be made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "believes," "forecasts,"
"intends," "possible," "expects," "estimates," "anticipates," or "plans" and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Among
the important factors on which such statements are based are assumptions
concerning the anticipated growth of the information technology industry, the
continued need of current and prospective customers for the Company's services,
the availability of qualified professional staff, and price and wage inflation.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
CTG recorded first quarter 1998 revenue of $109.7 million, an increase
of 15.5 percent when compared to first quarter 1997 revenue of $94.9 million.
North American revenue increased by $10.9 million or 13 percent in 1998 as
compared to 1997, while revenue from European operations increased by $3.9
million, or 35.5 percent. The consolidated revenue increase is mainly due to the
Company providing higher value added services to its customers, which increased
billing rates, and additional billable personnel in 1998 as compared to 1997.
The 1997 to 1998 quarter-to-quarter revenue growth rate was negatively
impacted by two main items. First, the strength of the U.S. dollar reduced
revenue from our European operations. If there had been no change in the foreign
currency exchange rates from the first quarter of 1997 to the first quarter of
1998, total consolidated revenues would have increased by an additional $1.2
million, resulting in a quarter-to-quarter consolidated revenue growth rate of
16.9 percent. This $1.2 million of additional revenue in Europe would have
increased the European revenue growth rate to 46.4 percent.
Second, due to the Company's month-end closing cycle, there was one
additional billing day in the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the first
quarter of 1998. Each billing day represents $1.8 million of revenue. If this
amount and the foreign currency exchange amount of $1.2 million were added to
revenue for the first quarter of 1998, the total 1997 to 1998
quarter-to-quarter revenue increase would have been $17.8 million, or 18.8
percent.

In December, 1997, the Company renewed a contract with IBM for three
additional years as one of IBM's national technical service providers for the
United States. In the first quarter of 1998, IBM continued to be the Company's
largest customer, accounting for $37.0 million or 33.7 percent of total revenue
as compared to $33.9 million or 35.7 percent of first quarter 1997 revenue. The
Company expects to continue to derive a significant portion of its revenue from
IBM throughout 1998 and in future years. While a significant decline in revenue
from IBM would have a material adverse effect on the Company's revenues and
profits, the Company believes a simultaneous loss of all IBM business is
unlikely to occur due to the recent renewal of the national contract, the number
of other contracts presently in existence with IBM, the diversity of the
projects performed for IBM, and the number of locations and divisions involved.
Direct costs, defined as costs for billable staff, were $76.1 million
or 69.4 percent of revenue in the first quarter of 1998 as compared to $68.2
million or 71.9 percent of first quarter 1997 revenue. The decrease in direct
costs as a percentage of revenue in 1998 as compared to 1997 is also primarily
due to the trend toward higher value added services and billing rate
adjustments.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $25.2 million or 23
percent of revenue in 1998 as compared to $20.9 million or 22 percent of revenue
in 1997. The increase from 1997 to 1998 is primarily due to an investment in
1998 in sales and marketing, recruiting, and training programs.
Operating income was $8.4 million or 7.6 percent of revenue in 1998
compared to $5.8 million or 6.1 percent of revenue in 1997. The increase is
primarily due to the factors discussed above. Operating income from North
American operations increased $2.4 million or 50 percent from 1997 to 1998.
European operations recorded operating income of $1.2 million in 1998 as
compared to $1.0 million in 1997. The European improvement in profitability is
primarily due to the 35.5 percent increase in revenue discussed above and an
increase in higher value-added services performed in 1998.
Interest and other income decreased $0.2 million to $0.3 in 1998 from
$0.5 million in 1997. The decrease was a result of the Company utilizing a large
portion of its available cash and temporary cash investment balances in the
fourth quarter of 1997 to purchase the Company's stock through the Stock
Employee Compensation Trust (SECT).
Income before income taxes increased by $2.5 million from $6.1 million
or 6.4 percent of revenue in 1997 to $8.6 million or 7.8 percent of revenue in
1998. The provision for income taxes was 41 percent in 1998 and 40 percent in
1997.
Net income for the first quarter of 1998 was $5.1 million or $0.30 per
diluted share, compared to $3.7 million or $0.21 per diluted share in 1997.
Earnings per share was calculated using 17 million and 17.8 million equivalent
shares outstanding in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease in equivalent
shares outstanding is primarily due to the purchase of the Company's stock in
1997 through the SECT as mentioned above, offset by the dilutive effect of
outstanding stock options on the earnings per share calculation.
Financial Condition
- -------------------
Cash used by operations was $8.6 million for the quarter. Net income
totaled $5.1 million, and non-cash adjustments for depreciation and amortization
expense and deferred compensation expense totaled $1.3 million. Accounts
receivable increased $22.2 million as compared to December 31, 1997, as a result
of increases in revenue and slower accounts receivable turnover in the first
quarter of 1998. Prepaid assets increased $1.2 million due to the prepayment of
items that will be expensed throughout the remainder of 1998 and 1999. The $2
million increase in taxes payable is primarily attributable to an increase in
net income and the timing of required tax payments. Accounts payable increased
$2.6 million due to the timing of certain payments. Accrued compensation and
other current liabilities increased $4.6 million primarily due to the timing
of the company's U.S. biweekly payroll.

8
Net property and equipment increased $0.7 million. Additions to
property and equipment were $1.7 million offset by depreciation of $1 million.
The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures at March 27,
1998. Net acquired intangibles decreased $0.2 million, caused by amortization of
$0.1 million and $0.1 million in translation adjustments.
Financing activities provided $2.6 million of cash in the first quarter
of 1998. The Company received $2.3 million for the exercise of stock options,
inclusive of the related tax benefit. The Company also received $0.4 million
from employees for 9,000 shares of stock purchased under the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan. At March 27, 1998, the Company's current ratio is 2.1 to 1.
The Company has approximately $53.5 million in aggregate lines of
credit, which are renewable annually at various times throughout the year.
On October 26, 1994, the Company authorized the repurchase of two
million shares and on July 21, 1995 authorized the repurchase of another 1.4
million shares of its Common Stock. At March 27, 1998, approximately 2.5 million
shares have been repurchased under the authorizations, leaving 0.9 million
shares authorized for future purchases.
The Company believes existing internally available funds, cash
generated by operations, and borrowings will be sufficient to meet foreseeable
working capital, stock repurchase and capital expenditure requirements and to
allow for future internal growth and expansion.
