                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The consolidated balance sheets of First Consulting Group, Inc. (the
"Company") at June 30, 2000 and consolidated statements of operations and
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods ended June 30,
2000 and 1999 are unaudited. These financial statements reflect all adjustments,
consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to fairly present the financial position of the
Company at June 30, 2000 and the results of operations for the three month and
six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999. The results of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. For more
complete financial information, these financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December
31, 1999 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10K.

2.       INVESTMENTS

         For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
cash and interest-earning deposits or securities with original maturities of
three months or less. The Company has approximately $11.4 million in short term
investments and $9.6 million in non-current investments classified as available
for sale. Such investments are currently held primarily in tax-exempt government
securities. Net unrealized gains and losses on investments were not material at
June 30, 2000.

4.             DISCLOSURE OF SEGMENT INFORMATION

         The Company has the following four reportable segments: North America
consulting, North America integration, Management Services, and European
Healthcare. The consulting services consist of strategic planning, operations
effectiveness, procurement and contracting, and general consulting. The
integration services include implementation of packaged vendor software, design
and development of comprehensive system architectures, infrastructures,
interfaces, databases, applications and networks to address the need for
information integration and dissemination throughout a client's organization.
Management services consist of assessment/due diligence, program management,
discrete outsourcing, and full IT outsourcing. European Healthcare primarily
represents services provided in the United Kingdom and parts of continental
Europe and includes a blend of consulting and integration services.

          The Company manages segment reporting at a gross margin level.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (including corporate functions,
occupancy related costs, depreciation, professional development, recruiting, and
marketing), and fixed assets (primarily computer equipment, furniture, and
leasehold improvements) are managed at the corporate level separately from the
segments. The Company's segments are managed on an integrated basis in order to
serve clients by assembling multi-disciplinary teams, which provide
comprehensive services.

         The following is a summary of certain financial information by segment
(in thousands):

6.       ACQUISITION

         On May 24, 2000, the company created a new e-services company
composed of the newly acquired web development & design business of Doghouse
Productions, LLC and existing web expertise from FCG. Under terms of the
agreement, FCG acquired certain assets of Doghouse Productions, LLC for
approximately $6.9 million including a minority equity stake in the new
e-service company. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method
of accounting and the allocation of the purchase price is set forth below:


                  Consideration Paid                          $6,941,000
                  Fair Value of Tangible Assets                  181,000

         The estimated fair market values reflected above are based on
preliminary estimates and assumptions and are subject to revision. In
management's opinion, the preliminary allocations are not expected to be
materially different from the final allocations.

FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, AND SUBSEQUENT REPORTS FILED
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. FCG'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER
MATERIALLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

OVERVIEW

FCG provides services to payors, providers, government agencies, pharmaceutical,
biogenetic, and life science companies, and other healthcare organizations in
North America and Europe. FCG generates substantially all of its revenue from
fees for professional services. FCG typically bills for its services on an
hourly, fixed-fee or monthly fixed-fee basis as specified by the agreement with
a particular client. FCG establishes either standard or target hourly rates for
each level of consultant based on several factors including industry and
assignment-related experience, technical expertise, skills and knowledge. For
services billed on an hourly basis, fees are determined by multiplying the
amount of time expended on each assignment by the hourly rate for the
consultant(s) assigned to the engagement. Fixed fees are established on a
per-assignment or monthly basis and are based on several factors such as the
size, scope, complexity and duration of an assignment and the number of
consultants required to complete the assignment. Actual hourly or fixed fees for
an assignment may vary from the standard, target, or historical rates charged by
FCG. For services billed on an hourly basis, FCG recognizes revenue as services
are performed. For services billed on a fixed fee basis, FCG recognizes revenue
using the percentage of completion method based either on 1) the amount of time
completed on each assignment versus the projected number of hours required to
complete such assignment, or 2) the amount of cost incurred on the assignment
versus the total projected cost to complete the assignment. Revenue is recorded
as incurred at assignment rates net of unplanned adjustments for specific
engagements. Unplanned adjustments to revenue are booked at the time they are
known. Out-of-pocket expenses are billed to and reimbursed by clients and offset
against expenses incurred and are not included in recognized revenues.
Provisions are made for estimated uncollectible amounts based on the Company's
experience. FCG may obtain payment in advance of providing services. These
advances are recorded as deferred revenue and reflected as a liability on FCG's
balance sheet.

Cost of services primarily consists of the salaries, bonuses and related
benefits of client-serving consultants and subcontractor expenses. General and
administrative expenses primarily consist of the costs attributable to the
development of the business and the support of the client-serving professionals,
such as: non-billable travel; office space occupancy; investments in FCG's
information systems, research and practice support and quality initiatives;
salaries and expenses for executive management, financial, accounting and
administrative personnel; expenses for firm and business unit governance
meetings; recruiting fees and professional development and training; and
marketing, legal and other professional services. As associate related costs are
relatively fixed, variations in FCG's revenues and operating results can occur
as a result of variations in billing margins and utilization rates of its
billable associates. The Company routinely reviews its fees for services,
professional compensation and overhead costs to ensure that its services and
compensation are competitive within the industry. In addition, FCG routinely
monitors the progress of client projects with its clients' senior management.
Quality of Service Questionnaires are sent to the client after each engagement
with the results compiled and reported to FCG executive management.

FCG's most significant expenses are its human resource and related salary and
benefit expenses. As of June 30, 2000, approximately 61% or 1,231 of FCG's 2,020
employees are consultants. Another 383 employees form the firm's outsourcing
business. FCG's cost of services as a percentage of revenue is directly related
to its consultant utilization, which is the ratio of total billable hours to
available hours in a given period, and the amount of cost recognized under
percentage of completion accounting. FCG


                                      11.
<PAGE>


manages consultant utilization by monitoring assignment requirements and
timetables, available and required skills, and available consultant hours per
week and per month. Differences in personnel utilization rates can result from
variations in the amount of non-billed time, which has historically consisted of
training time, vacation and holiday time, time lost to illness and inclement
weather and unassigned time. Non-billed time also includes time devoted to other
necessary and productive activities such as sales support and interviewing
prospective employees. Unassigned time results from differences in the timing of
the completion of an existing assignment and the beginning of a new assignment.
In order to reduce and limit unassigned time, FCG actively manages personnel
utilization by monitoring and projecting estimated engagement start and
completion dates and matching consultant availability with current and projected
client requirements. The number of consultants staffed on an assignment will
vary according to the size, complexity, duration and demands of the assignment.
Assignment terminations, completions, inclement weather and scheduling delays
may result in periods in which consultants are not optimally utilized. An
unanticipated termination of a significant assignment or an overall lengthening
of the sales cycle could result in a higher than expected number of unassigned
consultants and could cause FCG to experience lower margins. In addition, the
opening of new offices, expansion into new markets, and the hiring of
consultants in advance of client assignments have resulted and may continue to
result in periods of lower consultant utilization.

FCG's effective tax rate has varied from period to period due to non-deductible
losses from FCG's foreign operations and differences between book and tax
deductions associated with certain non-deductible operating expenses, including
certain compensation expenses related to the ASOP, merger related activities and
certain nontaxable insurance proceeds.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

         NET REVENUE. The Company's net revenue increased 4.5% to $63.7 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $60.9 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in
revenue from FCG's outsourcing business as well as increases in its
pharmaceutical and health plan businesses, partly offset by a decline in FCG's
health delivery sector.

         COST OF SERVICES. Cost of services increased 27.0% to $47.0 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $37.0 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in outsourcing
staff. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased to 73.8% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 from 60.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This
increase was due to lower utilization and lower pricing in the health delivery
sector and to some degree in the health plan sector, and the lower margins
received in the outsourcing sector, where FCG experienced high revenue growth.

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
expenses increased 12.2% to $19.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
from $17.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 due to costs associated
with FCG's increased outsourcing business and the formation of FCG Doghouse,
FCG's new e-services business. General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenue increased from 28.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999
to 30.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

         MERGER, RESTRUCTURING, AND SEVERANCE COSTS. Merger, restructuring, and
severance costs were $3.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared
to $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Merger, restructuring, and
severance costs for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 consisted primarily of
severance costs related to a reduction in the U.S. workforce, and a $1.5 million
impairment of


                                      12.
<PAGE>


goodwill associated with FCG's announced plan to dispose of its European
healthcare consulting practice. Merger, restructuring, and severance costs for
the quarter ended June 30, 1999 consisted primarily of costs related to the
integration of acquired companies.

         INTEREST INCOME, NET. Interest income, net of interest expense,
remained constant at approximately $0.6 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Interest income net
of interest expense as a percentage of revenue remained consistent at 1.0% for
both quarters.

         OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other expense of $0.1 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 compared to other income of $3.9 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999. The other income in the prior year consisted primarily of
the net proceeds from a life insurance policy for former Chairman James Reep,
who passed away in April 1999.

         INCOME TAXES. The benefit for income taxes of 37.0% in the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 compared to the provision of 24.9% reported for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999. The provision in the prior year was unusually low because
of the nontaxable life insurance proceeds discussed in Other Income (Expense).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

         NET REVENUE. The Company's net revenue increased 6.2% to $127.2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $119.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in
revenue from FCG's outsourcing business, partly offset by a decline in the
health delivery sector.

         COST OF SERVICES. Cost of services increased 32.1% to $95.3 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $72.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the
outsourcing staff. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased to
74.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 60.2% for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. This increase was due to lower utilization and lower pricing in
the health delivery sector and to some degree in the health plan sector, and the
lower margins received in the outsourcing sector where FCG experienced high
revenue growth .

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
expenses increased 9.0% to $38.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000
from $35.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 29.4% for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 to 30.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2000
primarily due to costs associated with FCG's increased outsourcing business.

         MERGER, RESTRUCTURING, AND SEVERANCE COSTS. Merger, restructuring,
and severance costs were $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Merger,
restructuring, and severance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2000
consisted primarily of severance costs related to a reduction in the U.S.
workforce, and a $1.5 million impairment of goodwill associated with FCG's
announced plan to dispose of its European healthcare consulting practice.
Merger, restructuring, and severance costs for the six months ended June 30,
1999 consisted primarily of costs related to the integration of acquired
companies.

         INTEREST INCOME, NET. Interest income, net of interest expense,
increased to $1.3 million for the


                                      13.
<PAGE>


six months ended June 30, 2000 from $1.2 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999. Interest income net of interest expense as a percentage of revenue
increased slightly from 1.0% of revenue to 1.1% of revenue.

         OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other expense of $0.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to other income of $3.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. The other income in the prior year consisted
primarily of the net proceeds from a life insurance policy for former Chairman
James Reep, who passed away in April 1999.

         INCOME TAXES. The benefit for income taxes of 38.0% in the six months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to the provision of 32.5% reported for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. The provision in the prior year was unusually low
because of the nontaxable life insurance proceeds discussed in Other Income
(Expense).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During the six month period ended June 30, 2000, the Company used cash
flow from operations of $13.2 million, principally to fund operating losses, a
long-term contract receivable on a major outsourcing contract, and an increase
in accounts receivable work in process. During the six month period ended June
30, 2000, the Company used cash flow of approximately $3.5 million to purchase
property and equipment, including computer and related equipment and office.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the six-month period ended June 30,
2000 was approximately $3.4 million. At June 30, 2000, the Company had working
capital of $62.4 million. At December 31, 1999, the Company had working capital
of $72.0 million. Working capital decreased primarily due to a decline in cash
resulting from funding the company's operating loss, FCG's asset acquisition and
investment transaction with Doghouse Productions, LLC and the long-term contract
receivable on a major outsourcing contract.

         The Company's revolving line of credit, which allowed the Company to
borrow up to $9.0 million at an interest rate of the prevailing prime rate,
expired on May 1, 2000. There was no outstanding balance under the line of
credit at that time. The Company is in the process of negotiating a new line of
credit.

         Management believes that existing cash and investments together with
funds generated from operations will be sufficient to meet operating
requirements for the next 12 months. FCG's cash and investments are available
for strategic investments, mergers and acquisitions, and other potential
large-scale cash needs that may arise. At June 30, 2000, part of the Company's
proceeds from its initial public offering in February 1998 had been used to fund
operations and receivables, while the remaining proceeds were retained as cash
or investments.
