PART III NARRATIVE The Board of Directors of The Management Network Group, Inc. (the "Company") has appointed a Special Committee to conduct a review of the Company's historical practices regarding its stock option programs and related accounting for the period from 1999 through 2005. Following the Special Committee's review, the Company may need to correct its historical determinations of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. If these corrections are material, the Company would be required to restate its financial statements. Although the impact on the Company's historical financial statements is not yet known, the Company does not expect the review to result in changes to its historical revenues or non-option related operating expenses. In light of the Special Committee review, the Company will not be in a position to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the thirteen week period ended September 30, 2006 by the November 14, 2006 due date and does not anticipate it will be in a position to file the Form 10-Q within the five day extension period under Rule 12b-25.

If the answer is no, identify report(s). [X]Yes [ ] No (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? [X]Yes [ ] No The review of our stock option programs and related accounting described under Part III above has not been completed. Therefore, the Company is not able to provide full financial results for the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006. On November 13, 2006, the Company issued a news release announcing revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006. In that release, the Company noted that revenues increased 7.9% to $8.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2006 and increased 5.2% to $25.4 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006 compared to the corresponding periods in 2005. These increases in revenue were primarily attributable to a significant increase in the Company's strategy consulting practice, which includes revenue generated by the operations of Adventis which was acquired in April 2006, largely offset by a decrease in management consulting revenue primarily due to the cancellation of a long-running major client project in the first quarter of 2006. THE MANAGEMENT NETWORK GROUP, INC. has caused this notification to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized. Date: November 15, 2006 By: /s/ Donald E.
