            EMERGENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001 and 2000


NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are
unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments
that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the
consolidated financial position of Emergent Information Technologies, Inc. and
its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") at September 30,
2001 the consolidated results of its operations for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 and its cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000. All intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated.

        It should be understood that accounting measurements at interim dates
inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year-end. The results
of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
do not include footnotes and certain financial presentations normally required
under generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, these financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2000,
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2001.

        Certain amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current
period's presentation.

        DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

        On November 19, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the
stock of Emergent-East, a business segment of the Company (see Note 3), to an
unrelated third party. Accordingly, this segment has been presented as a
discontinued operation for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements. As a result, the Company's continuing
operations consist of a single business segment, which assists clients with the
procurement of government and commercial contracts.

        RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 141, Business Combinations ("Statement No. 141"), and No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("Statement No. 142"), effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and
intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized
but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with Statement Nos.
141 and 142. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their
useful lives. The Company will adopt the new rules on accounting for goodwill
and other intangible assets in the first quarter of 2002. The adoption of
Statement Nos. 141 and 142 is not expected to have a material effect on the
results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

        In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets (Statement No. 144). Under Statement No. 144 assets held for sale will be
included in discontinued operations if the operations and cash flows will be, or
have been, eliminated from the ongoing operation of the component. The Company
is required to adopt Statement No. 144 in the first quarter of 2002 and is
currently assessing the financial statement impact, if any, of adoption.

NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

        On November 19, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the
Company's interest in the common stock of Emergent-East (also known as
Government Services Group), a provider of system engineering, scientific
research, program management and technical support services. This business
segment, formed in 2000, was developed from the acquisitions of Decision-Science
Applications ("DSA"), Space Applications Corporation ("SAC"), System Simulations
Solutions ("S3I") and Kapos Associates Inc., ("KAI"). The sale, expected to
close in the fourth quarter of 2001, will be made to an independent third party
for approximately $38 million. Accordingly, the operating results of
Emergent-East, including provisions for estimated losses during the period from
October 1, 2001 through the estimated closing date, facility lease costs and
other costs expected to be incurred in connection with the sale, have been
accrued for as of September 30, 2001. Estimated expenses and operating losses
from the measurement date through the anticipated date of disposal amounted to
$13.7 million, net of income taxes of $2.0 million.

        On August 2, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a plan to
discontinue the operations of Emergent-Central, a business segment of the
Company formed in 1999. Accordingly, the operating results of Emergent Central,
including provisions for estimated losses during the phase-out period, facility
lease costs and other shut down expenses expected to be incurred in connection
with the disposal, have been accrued as of September 30, 2000. Expenses and
operating losses from the measurement date, including the writeoff of the
segment's assets, through the closing date of disposal amounted to $3.4 million.

NOTE 4. REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

        The Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit and
Security Agreement (the "Senior Facility"), dated December 29, 2000, by and
among the Company and its existing lending group, whereby the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement dated June 7, 1999 (the "Original Facility") was
amended and restated to provide in part for an extension of the maturity date to
January 31, 2002, to reset financial covenants, to reduce the existing revolving
loan lending commitments to $22,700,000, and to permit the subordinated
indebtedness discussed in Note 5. Borrowings bear interest at the bank's prime
rate plus 1% (7% at September 30, 2001). The Senior Facility is secured by a
lien on all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Terms of the
Agreement require the Company to reduce the $22,700,000 in borrowing
availability under the Senior Facility to no more than $18,700,000 by the end of
2001. At September 30, 2001, outstanding borrowings under the Senior Facility
totaled $10,373,000.

        As of September 30, 2001, the Company was not in compliance with certain
of its financial covenants. The Company has obtained waivers from the lenders
that waive the non-compliance. In the case of the Senior Facility through
December 14, 2001, and in the case of the Subordinated Debt Agreement, until the
Company reports its fourth quarter results. As of September 30, 2001, the
Company had $7,561,939 available under the Senior Facility.

        On May 12, 2000 the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement
to manage its interest rate risk exposure. The agreement requires the Company to
pay a fixed rate of 7.5225% on $20 million and in turn receive a variable rate
of interest of one-month LIBOR. The agreement expires on June 1, 2004.

        In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Statement No. 133)". The
Statement requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet
at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value
through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the
hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the
change in fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through
earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is
recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair
value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The adoption of Statement No.
133 as of January 1, 2001 resulted in the cumulative effect of an accounting
change of $668,000, net of tax benefit of $445,000, being recognized as expense
in the statement of operations.

        During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company
recognized a loss of $690,000 and $974,000, respectively, related to the change
in the fair value of the interest rate swap.

NOTE 5. LONG-TERM DEBT

        The Company entered into a Note and Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"Subordinated Debt Agreement") dated December 29, 2000 with various investors
(the "Purchasers"). In consideration of a $25,000,000 investment, the Company
issued to the Purchasers (i) 13% Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2005 in the
aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 (the "Notes"), and (ii) 2,250,000
shares of the common stock of the Company ("Common Stock") with a fair value of
$1,968,750. The Subordinated Debt Agreement contains financial and other
covenants, and requires payment of a premium if the Notes are prepaid within
three years of the Closing (including a reduced premium if repayment occurs in
connection with a change of control of the Company). As of September 30, 2001,
the Company was not in compliance with certain of the financial covenants
contained in the Subordinated Debt Agreement. The Company has obtained a waiver
from the Purchasers through the date the Company reports its fourth quarter
results. The Notes are not secured.

        The value of the Common Stock issued and related financing costs of $3.5
million have been reflected as a discount on the Notes and are being amortized
over the term of the Notes. Interest expense related to the amortization of the
discount totaled $161,000 and $393,000 in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2001, respectively.

        RECENT EVENTS

        Discontinued Operations. On November 19, 2001, the Company entered into
a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement with L-3 Communications Corporation,
pursuant to which L-3 agreed to acquire the stock of the Company's Emergent-East
subsidiary for $38 million, subject to certain adjustments. The Company expects
the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2001. Emergent-East provides
system engineering, scientific research, program management and technical
support services. Accordingly, the operating results of Emergent-East, including
provisions for estimated losses during the period from October 1, 2001 through
the estimated closing date, facility lease costs and other costs expected to be
incurred in connection with the sale, have been accrued for as of September 30,
2001. Estimated expenses and operating losses from the measurement date through
the anticipated date of disposal amounted to $13.7 million, net of income taxes
of $2.0 million.

        On August 2, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a plan to
discontinue the operations of Emergent-Central, a business segment of the
Company formed in 1999, developed from the acquisitions of SIS and a portion of
DSA. Accordingly, the operating results of Emergent-Central, including
provisions for estimated losses during the phase-out period, facility lease
costs and other shut down expenses expected to be incurred in connection with
the disposal, have been accrued as of September 30, 2000. Expenses and operating
losses from the measurement date, including the write-off of the segment's
assets, through the closing date of disposal amounted to $3.4 million. In the
third quarter of 2001, the Company re-evaluated its estimated costs to complete
the shut down and recorded an additional accrual of $770,000, net of tax of
$379,000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 2000

        Revenue. Revenue increased $2.2 million, or 24.3% to $11.4 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $9.2 million for three
months ended September 30, 2000. The increase is primarily the result of an
increase in revenue of $3.9 million from the commercial services group. This
increase was offset by a decrease in proposal management revenue related to
lower procurement activities attributable to the new administration's defense
budget being approved later than expected.

        Gross Margin. Gross margin increased $0.3 million, or 8.2%, to $4.5
million, for the three months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $4.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of
revenue, gross margin decreased to 39.9% compared to 45.8% for the prior year
period. The increase in gross margin is a result of increased revenue in the
commercial services group, while the reduction in the gross margin percentage
net reflects the lower margins generated by that group.

        Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 20.9%, to $2.8 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to the corresponding
period of the prior year. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 24.9% for the three months ended September
30, 2001, as compared to 39.1% for the prior year period. The decrease is the
result of the Company's continued cost reduction efforts offset by increased
expenses for personnel in the commercial services group to support the expected
increase in revenue from the Joint Strike Fighter ("JSF") program.

        Operating Income. Operating income was $1.7 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2001 compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000, an increase of $1.1 million. As a percentage of revenue,
operating income increased to 15.0% for the three months ended September 30,
2001 from 6.7% in the prior year. Operating income increased due to the
increased revenue and the decreased Selling, General and Administrative
Expenses, as discussed above.

        Interest and Other Expense, Net. Interest and other expense, net, was
$0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $0.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The increase primarily
results from increased interest expense of $0.4 million caused by a higher level
of debt at higher interest rates.

        Unrealized Loss on Interest Rate Swap. A loss of $0.7 million resulted
from the change in the fair value of the Company's interest rate swap agreement.

        OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
2000


        Revenue. Revenue increased $6.2 million, or 22.3% to $33.9 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $27.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000. The increase is primarily the result of an
increase in revenue of $11.5 million from the commercial services group. This
increase was offset by a decrease in proposal management revenue related to
lower procurement activities attributable to the new administration's defense
budget being approved later than expected.

        Gross Margin. Gross margin increased $1.7 million, or 13.4%, to $14.2
million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $12.5
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of net
revenue, gross margin decreased to 41.8% compared to 45.1% for the prior year
period. The increase in gross margin is a result of increased revenue in the
commercial services group, while the reduction in the gross margin percentage
net reflects the lower margins generated by that group.

        Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased $1.5 million, or 14.3%, to $8.8 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to $10.3 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of revenue, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 26.0% for nine months ended
September 30, 2001, as compared to 37.1% for the prior year period. The decrease
is the result of the Company's continued cost reduction efforts offset by
increased expenses for personnel in the commercial services group to support the
expected increase in revenue from the Joint Strike Fighter ("JSF") program.

        Operating Income. Operating income was $5.4 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 compared to $2.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, an increase of $3.2 million. As a percentage of net revenue,
operating income increased to 15.8% for nine months ended September 30, 2001
from 8.0% in the prior year. Operating income increased due to the increased
revenue and the decreased selling, general and administrative expenses, as
discussed above.

        Interest and Other Expense, Net. Interest and other expense, net was
$1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The increase primarily
results from increased interest expense of $1.3 million caused by a higher level
of debt at higher interest rates.

        Unrealized Loss on Interest Rate Swap. A loss of $1.0 million resulted
from a change in the fair value of the Company's interest rate swap agreement.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, net cash provided by operating activities of $3.4 million
reflected the Company's income from continuing operations, plus charges for
depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items and a decrease in working
capital.

        Cash Provided by Investing Activities. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, net cash provided by investing activities was $0.4 million
which primarily related to proceeds from the disposal of certain property and
equipment.

        Net Cash Used in Financing Activities. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, net cash of $4.3 million was used by financing activities
primarily for repayments made under the Company's credit facility, net of
proceed from the issuance of common stock (under Employee Stock Purchase Plan).

        Debt and Liquidity. The Company entered into a Second Amended and
Restated Credit and Security Agreement (the "Senior Facility"), dated December
29, 2000, by and among the Company and its existing lending group, whereby the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated June 7, 1999 (the "Original
Facility") was amended and restated to provide in part for an extension of the
maturity date to January 31, 2002, to reset financial covenants, to reduce the
existing revolving loan lending commitments to $22,700,000, and to permit the
subordinated indebtedness discussed below. Borrowings bear interest at the
bank's prime rate plus 1% (7% at September 30, 2001). The Senior Facility is
secured by a lien on all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Terms of the Agreement require the Company to reduce the $22,700,000 in
borrowing availability under the Senior Facility to no more than $18,700,000 by
the end of 2001. At September 30, 2001, outstanding borrowings under the Senior
Facility totaled $10,373,000.

        The Company has also entered into a Note and Stock Purchase Agreement
(the "Subordinated Debt Agreement") dated December 29, 2000 with various
investors (the "Purchasers"). In consideration of a $25,000,000 investment, the
Company issued to the Purchasers (i) 13% Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2005
in the aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 (the "Notes"), and (ii)
2,250,000 shares of the common stock of the Company ("Common Stock") with a fair
value of $1,968,750. The Subordinated Debt Agreement contains financial and
other covenants and requires payment of a premium if the Notes are prepaid
within three years of the Closing (including a reduced premium if repayment
occurs in connection with a change of control of the Company). The Notes are not
secured.

        At September 30, 2001, the Company was not in compliance with certain
financial covenants under the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Debt
Agreement. The Company has obtained waivers from the lenders that waive the
non-compliance. In the case of the Senior Facility through December 14, 2001,
and in the case of the Subordinated Debt Agreement, until the Company reports
its fourth quarter results.

        Management expects to complete the sale of Emergent-East in the fourth
quarter of 2001 and to use the proceeds from the sale to pay off the outstanding
balance on the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Debt Agreement. The Company
believes that it will have sufficient working capital from the cash proceeds of
the sale and cash generated from operations to fund operations for at least the
next twelve months. In addition, the Company is in the process of securing a
working capital line of credit to provide additional liquidity to fund
anticipated revenue growth in 2002.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)



                                  RISK FACTORS

THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS DEPENDS SUBSTANTIALLY ON THE DEFENSE INDUSTRY

        The proposal management business of SM&A depends substantially on U.S.
Government expenditures for defense products. Any decline in the future defense
expenditures could effect the opportunities available to the Company's clients
and, indirectly, on the Company. A number of trends may contribute to such a
decline, including:

        -       large weapon systems being replaced with smaller, more precise
                high technology systems;

        -       multiple procurements for similar weapons being consolidated
                into joint service procurements, such as the Joint Strike
                Fighter program;

        -       threat scenarios evolving away from global conflicts to regional
                conflicts; and

        -       the continuing draw down of U.S. military forces in response to
                the end of the Cold War.

        In the event expenditures for products of the type manufactured by the
Company's clients are reduced and not offset by other new programs or products,
there will be a reduction in the volume of contracts or subcontracts to be bid
upon by the Company's clients and, as a result, a reduction in the volume of
proposals managed by the Company. Unless offset, such reductions could
materially and adversely affect the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition.

THE COMPANY RELIES ON A RELATIVELY LIMITED NUMBER OF CLIENTS

        The Company derives a significant portion of revenue from continuing
operations from a relatively limited number of clients. Clients typically retain
the Company's services as needed on an engagement basis rather than pursuant to
long-term contracts, and a client can usually terminate the engagement at any
time without a significant penalty. Moreover, there can be no assurance that
existing clients will continue to engage the Company for additional assignments
or do so at the same revenue levels. The loss of any significant client could
materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. In addition, the level of services required by an
individual client may diminish over the life of the relationship, and there can
be no assurance the Company will be successful in establishing relationships
with new clients as this occurs.

THE MARKETS IN WHICH THE COMPANY OPERATES ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE

        The market for proposal management services in the procurement of
government and commercial contracts for aerospace and defense is a niche market
with a number of competitors. The Company is the largest provider of such
services and principally competes with numerous smaller proposal management
companies in this highly specialized industry. The Company also competes with
some of its clients' internal proposal development resources.

THE COMPANY RELIES HEAVILY UPON ITS KEY EMPLOYEES

        The Company's success is highly dependent upon the efforts, abilities,
and business generation capabilities and project execution of its executive
officers, in particular those of Steven S. Myers, President, Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board. The loss of the services of Mr. Myers for any
reason could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, operating
results and financial condition.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)



QUARTERLY RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY

        The Company may experience significant fluctuations in future quarterly
operating results due to a number of factors, including the size, timing and
duration of client engagements.

THE STOCK PRICE IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT VOLATILITY

         The Company's common stock was first publicly traded on January 29,
1998 after the Company's initial public offering at $12.00 per share. Between
January 29, 1998 and September 30, 2001, the closing sale price has ranged from
a low of $0.75 per share to a high of $31.13 per share. The market price of the
Company's common stock could continue to fluctuate substantially due to a
variety of factors, including:

        -       quarterly fluctuations in results of operations;

        -       adverse circumstances affecting the introduction or market
                acceptance of new services offered by the Company;

        -       announcements of new services by competitors;

        -       loss of key employees;

        -       changes in the regulatory environment or market conditions
                affecting the defense and aerospace industry;

        -       changes in earnings estimates and ratings by analysts;

        -       lack of market liquidity resulting from a relatively small
                amount of public stock float;

        -       changes in generally accepted accounting principles;

        -       sales of common stock by existing holders;

        -       the announcement and market acceptance of proposed acquisitions
                and dispositions; and

        -       financial performance for any period, resulting in the violation
                of debt covenants with any of the Company's lenders which they
                are not willing to amend or waive and subsequent loss of
                available bank lines for working capital.

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER HAS SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OVER THE COMPANY

        Steven S. Myers, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the
Board, beneficially owns or controls approximately 38.68% of the Company's
outstanding common stock and will have the ability to control or significantly
influence the election of directors and the results of other matters submitted
to a vote of shareholders. Such concentration of ownership may have the effect
of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company and may adversely
affect the voting or other rights of other holders of common stock. The
Company's board of directors is currently comprised entirely of individuals
nominated with the approval of Mr. Myers.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        The principal market risk (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse
changes in market rates and prices) to which the Company is exposed is interest
rate risk.

        The interest rate the Company pays on its revolving line of credit is
subject to interest rate risk as it bears interest at the prevailing prime rate
plus 1%. The Company's long-term debt instruments carry fixed interest rates.
The Company estimates that a 10% increase in interest rates on the revolving
line of credit would result in a decrease in reported net income of
approximately $78,000 annually, based on the Company's current level of
borrowing.

        On May 12, 2000, the Company entered into an interest rate swap
agreement whereby it pays a fixed rate of interest of 7.5225% on $20 million,
and receives a variable rate of interest based on one-month LIBOR. The Company
estimates that a 10% decrease in LIBOR would decrease reported net income by
approximately $72,000 annually.

        This interest rate sensitivity analyses disregards the possibility that
rates can move in opposite directions and that gains from one category may or
may not be offset by losses from another category and vice versa.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

    Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Through the quarter ended
September 30, 2001, approximately 808,321 shares of Common Stock have been
purchased of the 950,000 available shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP.

    Amended and Restated Employee Stock Option Plan. The Company's Common Stock
was listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market from the date of the Company's
initial public offering of common stock until May 30, 2000 during which time
period the Options granted pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated 1997
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant
to the exercise of such Options were exempt from qualification under the
Corporate Securities Law of 1968 because they were considered "covered
securities" as that term is defined under Section 18 of the Securities Act of
1933 (the "NMS Exemption"). However, as of May 30, 2000, the Company's Common
Stock became listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and the NMS Exemption no
longer applied. As a result, the Company filed an application with the State of
California Department of Corporations for qualification of the securities. On
July 27, 2001, the Department of Corporations granted such qualification. Two
additional states required qualification of the Plan, that being Arizona and
Maryland. The Company acquired acceptance from both states on August 6, 2001 and
August 8, 2001, respectively.
