         statements included herein have been prepared by AHL Services, Inc.
         ("AHLS" or the "Company), without audit, pursuant to the rules and
         regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
         information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
         statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
         regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are
         adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of
         management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all
         adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
         Company as of September 30, 1998, the results of its operations for the

         of its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
         1997. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The
         results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
         1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
         the year ended December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the
         consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year
         ended December 31, 1997 included in the Company's annual report on

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Operating Results - Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 Revenues
increased $63.4 million, or 88%, to $135.8 million in the third quarter of 1998
from $72.4 million in the third quarter of 1997. Of this increase, approximately
$50.7 million was attributable to the acquisitions owned less than one year. The
remaining increase was a result of providing additional services to existing
clients, entering into contracts to provide services to new clients and rate
increases on existing contracts.

Cost of services represents the direct costs attributable to a specific
contract, predominantly wages and related benefits, as well as certain related
expenses such as workers' compensation and other direct labor related expenses.
Cost of services increased $41.3 million, or 78%, to $94.5 million in the third
quarter of 1998 from $53.2 million in the third quarter of 1997. As a percentage
of revenues, cost of services decreased to 69.6% in the third quarter of 1998
from 73.6% in the third quarter of 1997. This decrease was primarily due to the
effect of the growth in revenues of the Company's higher margin marketing
execution and fulfillment services and operational support services businesses.

Field operating expenses represent expenses which directly support field
operations, such as each district's management, facilities expenses (such as
rent, communication costs and taxes), employee uniforms, equipment leasing,
depreciation and maintenance, local sales and marketing activities and
acquisition related goodwill. These expenses increased $15.7 million, or 132%,
to $27.6 million in the third quarter of 1998 from $11.9 million in the third
quarter of 1997. As a percentage of revenues, field operating expenses increased
to 20.3% in the third quarter of 1998 from 16.4% in the third quarter of 1997.
This percentage increase was primarily attributable to the facility expenses of
Gage, the Company's newly acquired marketing execution and fulfillment services
business, and the amortization of acquisition related goodwill in 1998.

Corporate general and administrative expenses, which includes the cost of
services the Company provides to support and manage its field activities,
increased $817,000, or 20%, to $4.9 million in the third quarter of 1998 from
$4.0 million in the third quarter of 1997. As a percentage of revenues, these
expenses decreased to 3.6% in the third quarter of 1998 from 5.6% in the third


                                       6
<PAGE>   9
quarter of 1997. This percentage decrease was primarily due to better leveraging
of corporate personnel.

Operating income increased $5.7 million, or 177%, to $8.9 million in the third
quarter of 1998 from $3.2 million in the third quarter of 1997. As a percentage
of revenues, operating income improved to 6.5% in the third quarter of 1998 from
4.4% in the third quarter of 1997.

Interest expense, net, increased $1.3 million, to $1.5 million in the third
quarter of 1998 from $177,000 in the third quarter of 1997. Interest expense
increased in 1998 due to the use of the Company's credit facility to fund
acquisitions made in 1998.

Income tax provision increased $1.8 million or 152%, to $3.0 million in the
third quarter of 1998 from $1.2 million in the third quarter of 1997. The
Company provided income taxes at a rate of 41.0% in 1998 and 37.5% in 1997. The
increase in 1998 is due to the EMD and TUJA acquisitions in Germany, which has a
higher corporate income tax rate.

Net income increased $2.3 million, or 116%, to $4.4 million, or 3.2% of
revenues, in the third quarter of 1998 from net income of $2.0 million, or 2.8%
of revenues, in the third quarter of 1997.

Operating Results - Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997

Revenues increased $122.6 million, or 62%, to $319.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 from $196.6 million in the comparable period of 1997.
Of this increase, approximately $85.5 million was attributable to the
acquisitions owned less than one year. The remaining increase was a result of
providing additional services to existing clients, entering into contracts to
provide services to new clients and rate increases on existing contracts.

Cost of services increased $84.1 million, or 57%, to $230.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 from $146.0 million in 1997. As a percentage of
revenues, cost of services decreased to 72.1% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 from 74.3% in 1997. This decrease was primarily due to the
effect of the growth in revenues of the Company's higher margin marketing
execution and fulfillment services and operational support services businesses.

Field operating expenses increased $26.9 million, or 84%, to $59.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $32.1 million in 1997. As a
percentage of revenues, field operating expenses increased to 18.5% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 from 16.4% in 1997. This percentage increase was
primarily attributable to the facility expenses of Gage, the Company's newly
acquired marketing execution and fulfillment services business, and the
amortization of acquisition related goodwill in 1998.

Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $2.8 million, or 25%, to
$13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $11.1 million in
1997. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased to 4.4% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 from 5.7% in 1997. This percentage decrease was
primarily due to better leveraging of corporate personnel.

Operating income increased $8.9 million, or 122%, to $16.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 from $7.3 million in 1997. As a percentage of
revenues, operating income improved to 5.1% for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 from 3.7% in 1997.

Interest expense, net, increased $691,000, or 69%, to $1.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 from $1.0 million in 1997. Interest expense
increased in 1998 due to the use of the Company's credit facility to fund
acquisitions made in 1998.

Income tax provision increased $3.4 million, or 131%, to $6.0 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $2.6 million in 1997. The Company
provided income taxes at a rate of 40.5% in 1998 and 38.5% in 1997. The increase
in 1998 is due to the EMD and TUJA acquisitions in Germany, which has a higher
corporate income tax rate.

The Company expensed extraordinary items associated with the Company's IPO
during the second quarter of 1997 of $385,000, net of taxes of $257,000. The
extraordinary items consisted of the write-off of unamortized loan origination
costs and debt discount.

Net income increased $5.0 million, or 134%, to $8.8 million, or 2.7% of
revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from net income of $3.7
million, or 1.9% of revenues, in 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash used in operating activities was $5.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1.8
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This decrease in cash from
operating activities was primarily the result of an increase of $6.6 million in
net income before depreciation and amortization offset by $13.3 million of
changes in working capital due to increases in accounts receivable as a result
of the Company's acquisitions, the growth in revenues and the timing of payments
of accounts payable and accrued expenses. Cash used in investing activities for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $131.0 million compared to $12.3
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increased use of cash
was principally as a result of the acquisitions made in 1998, which were larger
than the acquisitions in 1997, and additional purchases of transportation and
computer equipment. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 was $132.3 million compared to $10.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in cash provided by financing
activities for 1998 was principally the result of additional borrowings under
the Company's credit facility in 1998 to fund the acquisitions.

Capital expenditures were approximately $7.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 compared to $1.9 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1997. Historically, capital expenditures have been, and future expenditures
are anticipated to be, primarily to support expansion of the Company's
operations, including transportation equipment and management information
systems.

Effective July 9, 1998, the Company expanded its credit facility to $150 million
with a syndicate of banks led by First Union National Bank. The Company plans to
utilize the facility to grow its business through strategic acquisitions. At
September 30, 1998, there was approximately $17 million of availability
remaining under the credit facility.


                                       8
<PAGE>   11
The Company believes that funds generated from operations, together with
existing cash and borrowings under the credit facility, will be sufficient to
finance its current operations, planned capital expenditures and internal growth
for at least the next several years. If the Company were to make a significant
acquisition for cash it may be necessary for the Company to obtain additional
debt or equity financing.

Year 2000 Issues

The Company is currently in the process of addressing the Year 2000 issue, which
is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than
four to define the applicable year. The Company has determined that it will be
required to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and
thereafter. This modification and replacement process will be implemented by the
Company's Management Information Systems employees with assistance from outside
consultants. The Company presently believes that, with planned modifications to
existing software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 issue will not
pose significant operations problems for its computer systems.

The Company is communicating with its significant vendors and customers to 
determine the progress that those vendors and customers are making in 
remediating their own Year 2000 issues. The Company is requiring that 
significant vendors and customers certify those products and services to be 
Year 2000 compliant.

The Company has developed an implementation plan to resolve the Year 2000 issue.
This plan includes assessment, modification and testing of identified systems.
Preliminary estimates for these one time Year 2000 project costs are in the
range of $1 to $2 million. The Company expects the majority of these capital
expenditures to be incurred in 1999. The Company's Year 2000 project costs are
not expected to have a material impact on its liquidity or capital resources.
