                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

Note 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the complete fiscal year. For additional information, refer
to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

Note 2:  PRO FORMA INFORMATION

Pro Forma Income Data

         Shortly before the effective date of the Company's initial public
offering in June 1996, the Company terminated its status as an S Corporation and
became subject to federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, for informational
purposes, the accompanying statements of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 include a pro forma adjustment for income taxes which would
have been recorded if the Company had not been an S Corporation, based on the
tax laws in effect during the period. For the three months ended September 30,
1997 and 1996 and the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company was
fully subject to federal and state income taxes.

Note 3:  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Pro Forma Net Income Per Share

         Pro forma net income per share for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 was calculated by dividing pro forma net income by the weighted average
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the respective periods,
adjusted for the dilutive effect of Common Stock equivalents, if applicable,
which consist of stock options, using the treasury stock method. Pursuant to the
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Common Stock equivalents
issued by the Company during the twelve months immediately preceding the
Offering have been included in the calculation of the shares used in computing
pro forma net income per share as if they were outstanding for all periods
presented.

New Accounting Pronouncement

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
per Share", which the Company is required to adopt for both interim and annual
periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the EPS
calculation by replacing primary EPS with basic EPS. Basic EPS is computed by
dividing reported earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted
average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from the
exercise or conversion of securities into common stock, such as stock options.
Early application is prohibited, although footnote disclosure of pro forma EPS
amounts is required. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996 the Company believes the effect of the application of SFAS No. 128 would be
immaterial.

GENERAL


         ICT Group, Inc. ("ICT" or "the Company") is an independent
multinational provider of call center teleservices, which consists of outbound
and inbound telemarketing and customer support services, together with related
value-added services such as marketing, research, management and consulting
services. The Company's call center management experience, technological
leadership and expertise in target industries enable it to provide clients with
high quality, cost-effective call center services. In addition to supporting

services through both internal growth and a series of strategic acquisitions.
ICT has expanded beyond its traditional markets of insurance, financial
services, publishing and telecommunications to include the pharmaceutical,
health care services, energy services and computer software and hardware
industries, which are emerging as areas of rapid growth in the use and
outsourcing of call center teleservices. The Company intends to pursue continued
expansion through a combination of internal growth, strategic alliances, and
acquisitions of domestic and international businesses that provide teleservices
that are complementary to ICT's core telemarketing expertise.

         With the increasing use of teleservices by businesses and the trend
toward outsourcing call center activities, ICT believes significant
opportunities exist to expand its business. The Company's growth strategy
includes the following key elements:


         o      Pursue Outsourced Call Center Management Opportunities
         o      Increase International Presence

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996:
-----------------------------------------------

         Net Revenues. Net revenues increased 26% to $21.7 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from $17.3 million for the third quarter of 1996
primarily due to growth in TeleServices revenues. TeleService division revenues
increased 30% to $18.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997
from $13.9 million in the third quarter of 1996 resulting from continued strong
growth in both international and domestic markets. International TeleService
revenues grew 56% to $3.2 million in 1997 from $2.1 million in 1996. Domestic
TeleService revenues grew 25% to $14.8 million in 1997 from $11.8 million in
1996 as a result of growth in the insurance, financial services and health care
industries. Marketing services revenues increased 38% to $2.5 million in 1997
from $1.8 million in 1996 due to strong growth in market research revenues.
Management services revenues decreased 24% to $1.2 million in 1997 from $1.6
million in 1996 due to the conclusion of a service contract in the second
quarter of 1997.

         Cost of Services. Cost of services, which consist primarily of direct
labor and telecommunications costs, increased 26% to $11.7 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from $9.3 million in the third quarter of 1996.
This increase is primarily the result of increased direct labor force and
telecommunication costs required to support the increased revenue volume.

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 18% to $9.0 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 from $7.6 million for the third quarter of 1996 due to
increased numbers of call centers and workstation capacity and additional sales
and systems support implemented to support business growth. As a percentage of
revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses declined to 41% in the
third quarter of 1997 from 44% in the same quarter of 1996 as the Company has
better managed the timing of opening additional call centers and adding 
workstation capacity; consolidated certain call centers into larger centers,
spread fixed costs of operations over larger centers and generally managed fixed
expenses to support a larger revenue base.

         Interest Expense (Income), net. Net interest income of $77,000 and
$178,000 in the third quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively, reflects the
investment of funds obtained through the Company's initial public offering
partially offset by interest expense related to capital leases and borrowings
against the Company's equipment line of credit for capital expansion. The
decrease in net interest income is the result of increased average outstanding
balances on the equipment line of credit and decreased average invested funds in
1997 as compared to 1996. In 1997, the Company intends to finance capital
equipment purchases under its equipment line of credit. In the third quarter of
1997, the Company borrowed approximately $2.6 million under its equipment line.

         Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes increased
$197,000 to $435,000 for the third quarter of 1997 from $238,000 in the third
quarter of 1996. For the third quarter of 1997 and 1996, the provision for
income taxes was approximately 39% of income before taxes.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
---------------------------------------------

         Net Revenues. Net revenues increased 25% to $65.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 from $51.9 million for the comparable 1996
period primarily due to growth in TeleServices revenues. TeleService division
revenues increased 30% to $54.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 from $41.8 million in the comparable 1996 period resulting from continued
strong growth in both international and domestic markets. International
TeleService revenues grew 94% to $9.6 million in 1997 from $5.0 million in 1996.
Domestic TeleService revenues grew 21% to $44.7 million in 1997 from $36.8
million in 1996 as a result of growth in the insurance telecommunications and
health care industries. Marketing services revenues decreased 16% to 6.7 million
in 1997 from $8.0 million in 1996 due to reduced revenues from financial service
clients within this division. Management services revenues increased 90% to $4.1
million in 1997 from $2.1 million in 1996 as a result of the Management Services
division commencing operations in the latter half of the second quarter of 1996.

         Cost of Services. Cost of services, which consist primarily of direct
labor and telecommunications costs, increased 29% to $35.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 from $27.9 million in the comparable 1996
period. This increase is due to increased direct labor force and
telecommunications costs to support the increased revenue volume.

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 21% to $26.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from $22.0 million for the comparable 1996 period due to
increased numbers of call centers and workstation capacity and additional sales
and systems support implemented primarily in the latter half of 1996. As a
percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses declined to
41% in 1997 from 42% in 1996 as the Company has better managed the timing of
opening additional call centers and adding workstation capacity; consolidated
certain call centers into larger centers, spread fixed costs of operations over
the larger centers and generally managed fixed expenses to support a larger
revenue base.

         Non-recurring Compensation Expense. In the second quarter of 1996, the
Company recorded a non-recurring, non-cash compensation expense of $12.7 million
in connection with its initial public offering resulting from granting and
extension of stock options.

         Interest Expense (Income), net. Net interest income of $344,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 reflects the investment of funds obtained
through the Company's initial public offering partially offset by interest
expense related to capital leases and borrowings against the Company's equipment
line of credit. Subsequent to the Company's initial public offering in June
1996, the Company repaid all indebtedness under its revolving line of credit and
term loans with its bank and subordinated debt. In 1997, the Company intends to
finance capital equipment purchases under its equipment line of credit. For the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, borrowings under the equipment line of
credit were approximately $5.5 million.

         Pro Forma Provision For Income Taxes. Prior to the effective date of
the Company's initial public offering, the Company was subject to taxation under
Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, the net income of the
Company, for federal and state tax purposes, had been reported by and taxed
directly to the Company's shareholders. Subsequent to its initial public
offering, the Company has been fully subject to federal and state income taxes.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, provision for income taxes was
$1.1 million or approximately 39% of income before taxes.

Quarterly Results and Seasonality

         The Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience
significant quarterly variations in operating results, principally as a result
of the timing of clients' telemarketing campaigns, the commencement and
expiration of contracts, the timing and amount of new business generated by the
Company, the Company's revenue mix, the timing of additional selling, general
and administrative expenses to support the growth and development of new
business units and the competitive conditions in the telemarketing industry. The
Company's business tends to be strongest in the fourth quarter due to the high
level of client telemarketing activity prior to the holiday season.

         In the first quarter, business generally slows as a result of reduced
telemarketing activities and client transitions to new marketing programs during
the first quarter of the calendar year. In addition, the Company typically
expands its operations in the first quarter to support anticipated business
growth beginning in the second quarter. As a result, selling, general and
administrative costs typically increase in the first quarter without a
commensurate increase in revenues which results in decreased profitability for
the first quarter versus the previous fourth quarter. Also, demand for the
Company's services typically slows or decreases in the third quarter as the
volume of telemarketing projects decreases during the summer months. In
addition, the Company's operating expenses increase during the third quarter in
anticipation of higher demand for its services during the fourth quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Prior to the Company's initial public offering in June 1996, ICT's
primary sources of liquidity had been cash flow from operations and borrowing on
its bank revolving line of credit. Acquisitions and capital expenditures had
been financed through bank term loans and capitalized lease obligations.

         Cash provided by operating activities increased to $3.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from approximately $680,000 of cash used in
operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The
approximate $3.8 million increase resulted from increased earnings before
noncash charges and reduced working capital requirements.

         Cash used in investing activities increased to $9.0 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $4.6 million for the comparable 1996
period. The increase of $4.4 million is primarily attributable to an increase in
the number of workstations to 2,358 at September 30, 1997 from 2,068 at December
31, 1997, upgraded telephony equipment and continued development and
implementation of Informix and IMA/Edge Software.

         Cash provided by financing activities decreased to $4.6 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $23.9 million for the comparable 1996
period. In 1997, the Company borrowed $5.5 million from its equipment line of
credit to partially fund its capital expenditures. In 1996, the Company raised
$34.6 million in net proceeds from its initial public offering and repaid
certain indebtedness.

         The Company's telemarketing activities will continue to require
significant capital expenditures. Historically, equipment purchases have been
financed through the Company's equipment line of credit and through capitalized
lease obligations with various equipment vendors and lending institutions. The
lease obligations are payable in varying installments through 2001. Outstanding
obligations under capitalized leases at September 30, 1997 were $1.4 million.
The Company maintains an equipment line of credit of $6.5 million that is
scheduled to expire in January 1998. At September 30, 1997, outstanding
obligations under the equipment line of credit were $6.5 million. The Company is
currently negotiating increases in its equipment line of credit.

         The Company maintains a revolving line of credit with a bank of $15.0
million. Borrowings on the line of credit are limited to 80% of eligible
accounts receivable and bear interest at the bank's prime rate (8.50% at
September 30, 1997). At September 30, 1997, there were no borrowings outstanding
under the line of credit. The line of credit is scheduled to expire in January
1998. The Company is currently negotiating increases in its domestic financing
arrangements, as well as seeking similar arrangements for its international
operations.

         The Company believes that cash flows generated from operations,
together with the remaining net proceeds from the June 1996 initial public
offering and funds available under its revolving line of credit will be
sufficient to finance its current operations and planned capital expenditures at
least through 1998.
