Note 3.  The
Company offers an integrated mix of end-to-end business solutions, such as Business and IT consulting (Plan), software
development and integration services including e-Solutions (Build), and Application Development and Management Outsourcing (Manage). During the first nine months of 2001 approximately 94%
of the Company's revenues was derived from these offerings, with the balance from the healthcare industry. Effectively, the Company operates in one reportable segment.

Note 4.  Total
comprehensive income (i.e. net income plus available-for-sale securities valuation adjustments and currency translation
adjustments to stockholders equity) was $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2001, $22.4 million year to date, and $8.7 million for the third quarter of 2000 and
$21.1 million year to date.

Note 5.  In
the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $8.6 million. Of this charge $1.7 million related to a
workforce reduction of approximately 200 employees, primarily consultants. In addition, the Company performed a review of its business strategy and concluded that consolidating some of its branch
offices was key to its success. As a result of this

review, the Company wrote off $3.4 million of assets, which became impaired as a result of this restructuring action. The total restructuring charge included $3.5 million for branch
office closings and certain other expenditures.

Note 6.  In
June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133
(FAS 133), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which required adoption in periods beginning after June 15, 1999. FAS 133 was subsequently amended by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133", which made
FAS 133 effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Accordingly, the Company adopted FAS 133 in the first quarter of 2001. The adoption of FAS 133 did not
have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In
July 2001, the FASB issued FAS No. 141, "Business Combinations", and FAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." FAS 141 eliminates the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations except for qualifying business combinations that were initiated prior to July 2001. FAS 141
further clarifies the criteria to recognize intangible assets separately from goodwill. The requirements of Statement 141 are effective for any business combination that is initiated after
June 30, 2001. Under FAS 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indictors arise) for
impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The amortization provisions of Statement 142 apply to
goodwill and intangible assets acquired on or after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to June 30, 2001, companies are required to adopt
Statement 142 in their fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2001. Because of the different transition dates for goodwill and intangible assets acquired on or before June 30, 2001 and
those acquired after that date, pre-existing goodwill and intangibles will be amortized during this transition period until adoption whereas new goodwill and indefinite lived intangible
assets acquired after June 30, 2001 will not. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of FAS 142 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In
October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" and provides a single accounting model for
long-lived assets to be disposed of. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 144 for the

fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2001 and is currently in the process of evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 7.  On
February 5, 2001, the Company completed the divestiture of its Help Desk operations in return for $15.7 million in cash. As a result of
this transaction, the Company recorded a one-time gain of approximately $4.0 million, which is reflected in the Company's consolidated statements of income under the caption "Other
(income) expense, net".

Note 8.  On
August 21, 2001, the Company announced its proposed acquisition of Metro Information Services, Inc. pursuant to an Agreement and Plan
of Merger dated August 20, 2001. In connection with the acquisition, the Company agreed to issue 0.48 shares of Keane common stock for each outstanding share of Metro common stock. The Company
also agreed to assume all outstanding options to purchase Metro common stock, which will become exercisable for shares of Metro common stock following the merger after giving effect to the same
exchange ratio as offered to the Metro common stockholders. The transaction will be accounted for as a purchase in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The transaction has obtained regulatory clearance from the
Federal Trade Commission. Metro's special meeting of stockholders to approve the merger and the closing of the merger are anticipated to take place on or about November 30, 2001. The Company
anticipates that Metro will provide Keane with additional
customers to which it can cross-sell its services and the opportunity to benefit from cost synergies from the consolidation of corporate functions and overlapping branch offices. The
Company believes that the integration of its operations and corporate functions with those of Metro will be principally completed by the end of the second quarter of 2002.

Results of Operations

The Company's total revenue for the third quarter of 2001 was $186.6 million compared to total revenue of $208.6 million in the third quarter of
2000, excluding revenue associated with divested businesses, or $219.7 million in the third quarter of 2000 including these businesses. A weak economic environment and a temporary slowdown in
technology-related spending impacted Keane's revenue in the third quarter. However, this was partially offset by increased revenue from the Company's Application Development and Management (ADM)
Outsourcing service, which represented 52% of total revenue during the third quarter of 2001 or $97.2 million, an increase of 6% from $92.1 million during the third quarter of 2000.

For
the third quarter of 2001, total revenue from the Company's Plan Services, was $18.1 million, down from Plan revenue of $24.8 million for the third quarter of last
year. Plan revenue is primarily comprised of business innovation consulting delivered via Keane Consulting Group (KCG), the Company's business consulting arm, and IT consulting services, which are
sold and implemented out of Keane's network of branch offices. Plan revenue for the quarter was impacted by a general decrease in spending on IT consulting projects and by the events of
September 11, 2001, which temporarily prevented KCG consultants from flying to and from some customer engagements.

Third
quarter 2001 revenue from the Company's Build Services was $65.4 million, down from $82.8 million in the third quarter of 2000. Build revenue, which consists
primarily of application development and integration business, was also adversely affected by the slowdown in demand for IT services in Keane's operations in both North America and the United Kingdom,
offset in part by
increasing build project revenue from existing Global 2000 customers and public sector Federal and State governments (14% of third quarter revenue), and from Enterprise Application Integration
projects.

Revenue
from the Company's Manage Services, which consists primarily of Keane's ADM Outsourcing service, as well as Application Maintenance and Migration services, grew to
$103.1 million during the third quarter of 2001, up 2% from $101.0 million during the third quarter of 2000, excluding the divested Help Desk operation. Revenue from the Company's Help
Desk operations was approximately $11.0 million during the third quarter of 2000.

Excluding
revenue associated with divested businesses, total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $586.8 million, compared with $626.0 million
for the first nine months of 2000. Including revenue associated with divested businesses, total revenue for the first nine months of 2001 was $592.0 million versus $657.7 million during
the first nine months of 2000. Keane's ADM Outsourcing Service represented 51% of total revenue during the first nine months of 2001 or $299.4 million, up 10% from $272.2 million during
the first nine months of 2000.

Excluding revenue associated with divested businesses, Plan, Build, and Manage revenue for the first nine months of 2001 was $58.1 million, $212.1 million and
$316.6 million, respectively, as compared to $83.6 million, $244 million and $298.4 million, respectively, during the first nine months of 2000. Including revenue
associated with these businesses, Manage revenue was $330.1 million for the first nine months of 2000.

The
increase in Keane's Manage revenue during the first nine months of 2001 was driven by continued growth in the Company's ADM Outsourcing business, which has not been negatively
impacted by the economy. Based on the increase in ADM Outsourcing bookings and growth of the sales pipeline during the first nine months of 2001, the Company anticipates that this business will
continue to expand. However, the Company has observed no indication of a healthier economic climate or normalized IT spending. As a result, Keane anticipates continued softness in its Application
Development and Integration business, which represents a majority of its Build sector, and within its Plan sector. However, the Company expects to maintain ongoing Build revenue due to its broad range
of development and integration services, strong customer loyalty, and business from the less cyclical public sector.

Salaries,
wages and other direct costs for the third quarter of 2001 were $129.4 million, or 69.3% of total revenue, compared to $154.0 million, or 70.1% of total
revenue, for the third quarter of 2000. The decline in actual expenditures is a result of the sale of the Company's Help Desk operations and its ongoing efforts to bring cost in alignment with
revenue. As a result, Keane's gross margins for the third quarter of 2001 grew to 30.7%, up slightly from 29.9% during the third quarter of 2000. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, salaries, wages and other direct costs were $412.3 million, or 69.7% of total revenue, compared to $463.8 million, or 70.5% of total revenue for
the first nine months of 2000. As a result, Keane's gross margins for the first nine months of 2001 grew to 30.3%, up from 29.5% during the first nine months of 2000.

Selling,
General & Administrative ("SG&A") expense for the third quarter of 2001 was $46.5 million, or 24.9% of total revenue, compared to $50.0 million, or 22.8%
of total revenue, for the third quarter last year. For the first nine months of 2001, SG&A expense was $142.0 million, or 24.0% of total revenue, compared to $153.4 million, or 23.3% of
total revenue for the first nine months of 2001. The decline in actual expenditures for both the third quarter and the first nine months of 2001 is a result of the sale of the Company's Help Desk
operations and aggressive control of discretionary spending to bring cost in alignment with revenue. The Company will seek to continue to control aggressively its discretionary expenditures until
economic conditions improve and IT spending patterns become more positive.

Amortization
of goodwill and other intangible assets for the third quarter of 2001 was $3.5 million, or 1.9% of revenue, compared to $3.3 million, or 1.5% of revenue, in
the third quarter of 2000. For the first nine months of 2001, amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets was $10.4 million, or 1.8% of total revenue, compared to $8.9 million,
or 1.4% of total revenue, for the first nine months of 2000. The increase in amortization for both the third quarter and the first nine months of 2001 was attributable to additional intangible assets
as a result of the Company's acquisitions of Denver Management Group and Care Computer Systems in July and September of last year.

Interest
and dividend income totaled $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2001, compared to $1.8 million for the same period last year. Interest and dividend income for
the first nine months of 2001 totaled $5.5 million, compared to $6.1 million for the same period last year. The slight increase in interest and dividend income was attributable to an
increase in the company's cash position, while the decrease in interest and dividend income over the first nine months of 2001 is attributable to cash invested in acquisitions and the repurchase of
Keane stock. Interest and other expense for the third quarter of 2001 was $466,000, as compared to $366,000 for the third quarter of 2000. For the first nine months of 2001, interest expense and other
income was $1.7 million, as compared to $1.1 million of expense for the first nine months of 2000. This increase in other income was related to a gain of

$4 million from the sale of Keane's Help Desk operation, offset by the Company's decision to write-off certain equity investments totaling $2.1 million during the first
quarter of 2001.

The
Company's effective tax rate was 40.5% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2001 and 2000.

Net
income for the third quarter of 2001 was $5.3 million, down from $8.3 million for the third quarter of 2000, resulting primarily from decreased spending on IT
services. Net income for the first nine months of 2001 was $20.5 million, compared to $21.7 million for the first nine months of 2000. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of
2001 was $.08, down from $.12 during the same period in 2000. For the first nine months of 2001 diluted earnings per share was $.30, down slightly from $.31 during the first nine months of 2000.

Net
cash provided from operations was $25.1 million during the third quarter of 2001, and $67.8 million during the first nine months of 2001, before proceeds from the
sale of the Help Desk business of $16.1 million and the investment of $4.0 million for the repurchase of Keane shares. The Company is focused on continuing to optimize cash flow in order
to fund potential mergers and acquisitions, stock repurchases, and to build long-term "per share" value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's cash and investments at the end of the third quarter of 2001 increased to $184.8 million as compared to a balance of $160.0 million
at the close of the second quarter of 2001. This increase was primarily attributable to continuing strong operating cash flow and the decrease in accounts receivable as a result of the Company's
efforts to decrease its Days Sales Outstanding ("DSO"). The Company's DSO at the end of the third quarter of 2001 was 70 days compared to 72 days at the close of the second quarter of
2001, and 80 days as of the end of the third quarter of 2000.

On
August 21, 2001 the Company announced its proposed acquisition of Metro Information Services, Inc. In connection with this merger, the Company will be assuming
Metro's bank related debt. The Company plans to pay off this debt with its cash soon after the Metro shareholders approve the merger. The anticipated pay down of debt will have a significant effect on
the Company's cash position at the end of the fourth quarter. The Company believes that it will still have a considerable cash balance after the merger to maintain and support combined operations.

On
September 19, 2001, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1,542,800 shares of its common stock over the next
12 months. Since May of 1999, the Company has invested $108.9 million to repurchase 5,457,200 million shares of its common stock under three separate authorizations. The timing
and amount of additional share repurchases will be determined by the Company's management based on its evaluation of market and economic conditions and other factors. There were no shares repurchased
during the second or third quarter of 2001. The Company maintains and has available a $10 million unsecured demand line of credit with a major Boston bank for operations and acquisition
opportunities.

Based
on the Company's current operating plan, the Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash flows from operations, and its current available line of credit
will be sufficient to meet its current capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Inflationary increases in costs have not been material in recent years and, to the extent permitted by competitive pressures, are passed on to clients through
increased billing rates. Rates charged by the Company are based on the cost of labor and market conditions within the industry. The Company endeavors to increase its billing rates over increases in
direct labor costs.

Certain Factors that May Affect Future Results

The following important factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements made in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and presented elsewhere by management from time to time.

Keane's
quarterly operating results have varied, and are likely to continue to vary significantly. This may result in volatility in the market price of Keane's shares.

Keane
has experienced and expects to continue to experience fluctuations in its quarterly results. Keane's gross margins vary based on a variety of factors, including employee
utilization rates and the number and type of services performed by Keane during a particular period. A variety of factors influence Keane's revenue in a particular quarter, including:



A
significant portion of Keane's expenses do not vary relative to revenue. As a result, if revenue in a particular quarter does not meet expectations, Keane's operating results could
be materially adversely affected, which in turn may have a material adverse impact on the market price of Keane common stock. In addition, many of Keane's engagements are terminable without client
penalty. An unanticipated termination of a major project could result in an increase in underutilized employees and a decrease in revenue and profits.

Keane
has pursued, and intends to continue to pursue, strategic acquisitions. Failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses or assets may adversely affect Keane's financial
performance.

In
the past five years, Keane has grown significantly through acquisitions. Since January 1, 1999, Keane has completed eight acquisitions. The aggregate cost of these
acquisitions totaled $103.2 million. Keane's future growth may be based in part on selected acquisitions. At any given time, Keane may be in various stages of considering acquisition
opportunities, such as the acquisition of Metro. Keane can provide no assurances that it will be able to find and identify desirable acquisition targets or that it will be successful in entering into
a definitive agreement with any one target. In addition, even if Keane reaches a definitive agreement, there is no assurance that Keane will complete any future acquisition.

Keane
typically anticipates that each acquisition will bring benefits, such as an increase in revenue. Prior to completing an acquisition, however, it is difficult to determine if
Keane can actually realize these benefits. Accordingly, there is a risk that an acquired company may not achieve an increase in revenue or other benefits for Keane. In addition, an acquisition may
result in unexpected costs, expenses and liabilities. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on Keane's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The
process of integrating acquired companies into Keane's existing business may also result in unforeseen difficulties. Unforeseen operating difficulties may absorb significant
management attention, which Keane might otherwise devote to its existing business. In addition, the process may require significant financial resources that Keane might otherwise allocate to other
activities, including the ongoing development or expansion of Keane's existing operations. Finally, future acquisitions could

12

---

result in Keane having to incur additional debt and/or contingent liabilities. Any of these possibilities could have a material adverse effect on Keane's business, financial condition and result of
operations.

Keane's
growth could be limited if it is unable to attract personnel in the Information Technology and business consulting industries.

Keane
believes that its future success will depend in large part on its ability to continue to attract and retain highly skilled technical and management personnel. The competition
for these personnel is intense. Keane may not succeed in attracting and retaining the personnel necessary to develop its business. If Keane does not succeed, its business, financial condition and
result of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Keane
faces significant competition for its services, and its failure to remain competitive could limit its ability to maintain existing clients or attract new clients.

The
market for Keane's services is highly competitive. The technology for custom software services can change rapidly. The market is fragmented, and no company holds a dominant
position. Consequently, Keane's competition for client assignments and experienced personnel varies significantly from city to city and by the type of service provided. Some of Keane's competitors are
larger and have greater technical, financial and marketing resources and greater name recognition in the markets they serve than does Keane. In addition, clients may elect to increase their internal
information systems resources to satisfy their software development needs.

In
the healthcare software systems market, Keane competes with some companies that are larger in the healthcare market and have greater financial resources than Keane. Keane believes
that significant competitive factors in the healthcare software systems market include size and demonstrated ability to provide service to targeted healthcare markets.

Keane
may not be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors. In addition, competitive pressures faced by Keane may materially adversely affect its business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Keane
conducts business in the United Kingdom, which exposes it to a number of difficulties inherent in international activities.

Keane's
operations in the U.K. are subject to currency exchange rate fluctuations, foreign exchange restrictions, changes in taxation and other difficulties in managing operations
overseas. Keane may not be successful in its international operations.

Keane
may be unable to redeploy its professionals effectively if engagements are terminated unexpectedly, which would adversely affect its results of operations.

Keane's
clients can cancel or reduce the scope of their engagements with Keane on short notice. If they do so, Keane may be unable to reassign its professionals to new engagements
without delay. The cancellation or reduction in scope of an engagement could, therefore, reduce the utilization rate of Keane's professionals, which would have a negative impact on Keane's business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.The Company does not engage in trading market risk
sensitive instruments or purchasing hedging instruments or other trading instruments that are likely to expose the Company to market risk, whether interest rate, foreign currency exchange, and
commodity price or equity price risk. The Company has not purchased options or entered into swaps or forward or futures contracts. The Company's primary market risk exposure is that of interest rate
risk on its investments, which would affect the carrying value of those investments. Additionally, the Company transacts business in the United Kingdom and as such has exposure associated with
movement in foreign currency exchange rates.
