                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Federal Data Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
(collectively, the Company) and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company
believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements reflect all necessary adjustments and reclassifications (all of which
are of a normal, recurring nature) that are necessary for fair presentation for
the periods presented. It is suggested that these unaudited consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report
to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K 405 for the year ended
December 31, 1998.

The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1999, are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal
year ending December 31, 1999.

All of the Company's direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries have fully
and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, the Company's
obligations under its Senior Subordinated Notes. The Company is a holding
company with no assets or operations other than its investments in its
subsidiaries. The separate financial statements of the subsidiary guarantors are
not presented because the Company's management believes that such financial
statements are not material to investors.

Note 2 - Stockholder's Equity

In December 1995, FDC Holdings, Inc. merged with and into the Company with the 
Company continuing as the surviving corporation.  In accordance with the merger 
agreement, the Company was to replace options previously outstanding at the 
merger date with options in the surviving corporation that provide substantially
the same economic benefit to the option holder as the benefits provided prior to
the merger.  To fulfill this obligation, in March 1999, the Company issued fully
vested options to purchase 40,425 shares of the Company's common stock at an 
exercise price of $2.00 per share.  These options expire ten years from the date
of grant.  Accordingly, the Company recorded non-cash compensation of $1,011
and a related increase in capital in excess of par value based on the difference
between the exercise price of the stock options and the current fair market

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


ACQUISITIONS

In February and March 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding common 
stock of R.O.W. Sciences, Inc. (R.O.W.) and Technical and Management Assistance,
Inc. (TMA) and also in February 1998, purchased all of the assets of Telos 
Corporation's Telos Information Systems Division (TIS), (collectively, the 
Acquisitions). The aggregate purchase price of the Acquisitions was $33.5 
million. The purchase price consisted of $31.5 million in cash and $2.0 million
in subordinated notes. The agreements also provide for additional cash payments 
up to $0.4 million if certain revenue objectives are met. Such payments, if any,
will be accounted for as adjustments to the purchase price.  Except as expressly
indicated, the following discussion does not give effect to the pre-acquisition
operations of R.O.W., TMA and TIS, or include pro forma financial information.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED 
MARCH 31, 1998

REVENUE

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $103.2 million, up $11.4
million or 12% over the comparable period of 1998. The Acquisitions accounted
for $9.7 million of the increase in revenue over the comparable period of 1998.
Revenue from product sales was $62.7 million, up $9.4 million or 18% over the
comparable period of 1998. The increase in revenue from product sales is 
principally due to increased emphasis on the Company's sale of commercial off-
the-shelf (COTS) products. Revenue from professional and support services was 
$40.1 million, up $1.9 million or 5% over the comparable period of 1998. The
Acquisitions accounted for $9.7 million of the increase in professional and
support services revenue over the comparable period of 1998. This increase in
professional and support services revenue was significantly offset by a 
reduction in professional and support services revenue due to the expiration of 
existing contracts. The largest contract that expired during 1998 was a contract
awarded to NYMA, Inc. (NYMA) in 1993 under section 8(a) of the Small Business 
Act, which is intended to foster growth of small businesses owned and controlled
by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. After the acquisition of
NYMA by the Company, NYMA's continued participation as a prime contractor 
required a waiver from the Administrator of the Small Business Administration 
which was not received.

COST OF SALES AND SERVICES

Cost of sales and services for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $89.0
million, up $9.8 million or 12% over the comparable period of 1998. The
Acquisitions accounted for $8.1 million of the increase in cost of sales and
services over the comparable period of 1998. Cost of sales and services for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was 87% of sales and services 
revenue. 

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

Selling, general and administrative expense for the three month period ended
March 31, 1999 was $12.4 million, up $2.1 million or 20% over the comparable
period of 1998. The Acquisitions accounted for $0.8 million of the increase in
selling, general and administrative expense over the comparable period of 1998.
In addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company recorded a 
non-cash charge of $1.0 milliom related to the issuance of stock options in 
accordance with the Company's merger with FDC Holdings, Inc. in 1995. Excluding 
the effect of the Acquisitions and the non-cash compensation, selling, general 
and administrative expense for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 and 
1998 was 11% of revenue.

                                   7

AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSET

The excess of the cost of acquisitions over the fair value of identifiable 
net tangible and intangible assets acquired was $64.4 million and is being 
amortized on a straight-line basis over fifteen years. The present value of the 
contract profits of $16.5 million acquired in the acquisitions is being 
amortized over the remaining terms of the acquired contracts in relation to the
recognition of related contract revenue.  Other identified intangibles including
covenants not to compete, work force and trade names and trademarks of $5.5 
million acquired in acquisitions are being amortized over periods up to 
three years.  Amortization of goodwill and intangible assets for the three month
period ended March 31, 1999 was $2.8 million, up $0.6 million, or 29% over the
comparable period of 1998.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 was $3.9
million, up $0.3 million, or 8% over the comparable period of 1998. Recourse
interest expense increased $0.3 million for the three month period ended March
31, 1999 over the comparable period of 1998 primarily due to increased recourse
debt used to finance the Acquisitions. Interest expense on nonrecourse debt 
was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. 

INCOME TAX BENEFIT

The income tax benefit for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 is based
on an estimated annual effective rate, excluding expenses not deductible for
income tax purposes. Before giving effect to the non-deductibility of the 
amortization of goodwill and the value assigned to other identified intangibles
associated with certain acquisitions, the effective tax provision rate for the 
year ending December 31, 1999 is estimated to be 40%, approximately the same 
rate recorded during the three months ended March 31, 1998. 

NET LOSS

Net loss for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 was $3.6 million, a
$1.1 million increase from the net loss of $2.5 million recorded in the
comparable period of 1998 based on the reasons discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and 
financing activities. In general, the Company's liquidity requirements vary 
seasonally with revenue, which are historically higher in the third and fourth 
quarters of each fiscal year. Cash flow from the collection of accounts 
receivable from the U.S. Government (the Government) has generally been 
predictable and dependable. Cash and cash equivalents were $3.0 million at 
March 31, 1999, down $0.9 million from December 31, 1998 primarily as a result 
of net cash used in operating activities of $2.2 million and net cash used in 
investing activities of $1.2 million being partially offset by cash generated 
from financing activities of $2.5 million. Net cash used from operating 
activities was primarily a result of the increased focus on COTS products which 
used $3.7 million in cash to increase inventory over the December 31, 1998 
levels. A decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $25.8 million, 
was partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable of $21.2 million. Net 
cash used in investing activities amounted to $1.2 million for the three months 
ended March 31, 1999, primarily as a result of purchases of equipment for sales-
type leases totaling $1.3 million.  Net cash flow from financing activities was
$2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 primarily as a result of 
net borrowings under the Company's working capital line of credit of $3.0 
million. In April 1999, the Company amended certain financial covenants within 
its Senior Credit Facility.

EBITDA represents the sum of loss before income tax benefit, net recourse
interest expense, depreciation and amortization and one-time non-cash charges. 
EBITDA is not a measure of performance or financial condition under generally 
accepted accounting principles, but is presented to provide additional 
information related to debt service capability. EBITDA should not be considered
in isolation or as a substitute for other measures of financial performance or 
liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles. While EBITDA is 
frequently used as a measure of operations and the ability to meet debt service 
requirements, it 

                                        8

is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other 
companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

State of Readiness: The Company is aware of the issues associated with the
programming code in existing computer systems as the year 2000 approaches.
Certain computer operations will be affected by the roll-over of the two-digit
year value to 00. The issue is whether computer systems will properly recognize
date-sensitive information when the year changes to 2000. Systems that do not
properly recognize such information could generate erroneous data or cause a
system to fail.

In order to attempt to identify and remediate any material Year 2000 issues that
may affect the Company, the Company has formed a Year 2000 Readiness Team led by
the Vice Presidents of its operating divisions and supported by appropriate
contracts and technical resources throughout the Company. The Readiness Team's
plan addresses internal systems and processes, critical suppliers and customers.
A Year 2000 analysis of the Company's core software and hardware systems is
underway, focusing on the most critical systems first. This process includes the
following steps: inventory, classification of criticality, assessment of
compliance, remediation and testing. The Company estimates that this effort is
approximately 70% complete. The expected completion date is July 31, 1999, for
critical systems and September 30, 1999, for non-critical systems. All of the
Company's core administrative systems, including payroll, human resources,
operations and finance, are COTS products that are either Year 2000 compliant or
have Year 2000 compliant versions of the software available under maintenance 
agreements. The Company is currently in the process of upgrading its Deltek 
accounting system, and expects that such upgrade will be completed by July 31, 
1999. Although the Company has completed assessments of core administrative 
systems and assets with embedded systems, assessments will continue to occur 
until the year 2000. This ongoing assessment is needed to make sure new assets 
and systems are compliant.

The Company is assessing the potential for Year 2000 issues with third
parties with whom the Company has a material relationship. The Company expects
to complete this assessment phase by August 1, 1999. The Company has been, and
continues to contact suppliers regarding such suppliers' potential Year 2000
issues. The Company has made reasonable efforts to incorporate the Year 2000
requirements and warranty provisions of its customer contracts into its material
supply agreements so as to achieve "back-to-back" warranties from its suppliers.
However, in some instances the customer's requirement may vary from a supplier's
commercial terms relative to the Year 2000. In the event that any key supplier's
products are not found to be Year 2000 compliant, the end-user customer will be
so notified, and the Company will work with such customer to identify a Year
2000 compliant alternative. Despite such efforts, the Company expects to have
only a limited understanding of the potential Year 2000 shortcomings of many of
its suppliers, and will therefore be uncertain as to the full nature and extent
of the potential supplier-derived impact on the Company. Should supplier Year
2000 issues arise, such issues could interrupt the flow of products and services
to the Company, which could in turn impact the Company's timely delivery under
its customer contracts.

Costs to Address the Company's Year 2000 Issues: The Company is incurring
internal staff costs as well as certain consulting expenses and product costs to
examine and address its Year 2000 readiness. The Company estimates that it will
incur approximately $700,000 to remediate any material Year 2000 issues, of
which approximately $550,000 has been incurred to date. Management does not 
believe that future project costs will have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business or results of operations. Maintenance, modification costs and
software purchased with the express purpose of fixing the Year 2000 issue will 
be expensed as incurred in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board Issue No. 96-14, "Accounting for the Costs 
Associated with Modifying Computer Software for the Year 2000". Network 
components that may have Year 2000 compliance issues such as workstations, 
printers and network components are being systematically repaired or replaced as
part of the normal information technology infrastructure replacement strategy. 
The annual expenditures for these components are not significantly above levels
that the Company has historically incurred in the normal course of business. The
Company's Year 2000 program is an ongoing effort and the estimated costs and
completion dates set forth herein are subject to change. The Company cannot
assure that these estimates will prove accurate. Specific factors that could
cause material differences include, but are not limited to, the availability and
cost of personnel skilled in Year 2000 remediation, the ability to identify,
assess, remediate and test all relevant computer codes, third party remediation
plans and similar uncertainties.

Risks of the Company's Year 2000 Issues: Due to the varying degrees of
Year 2000 readiness of the Government agencies with whom the Company does
business, the Company is unable to estimate the possible impact of the Year 2000
on its customers' operations or buying patterns. While such agencies have
indicated that they are working to resolve their Year 2000 problems, the Company
regards their ability to achieve this objective as uncertain. Because the
Company's understanding of the ways in which the Government could experience
Year 2000 difficulties is inherently limited, the Company is uncertain as to the
full nature and extent of the potential Government-derived Year 2000 impact on
the Company. However, the Company is concerned that Year 2000 problems affecting
Government financial administration functions could interrupt or delay the
orderly flow of payments to the Company under its Government contracts. Because
of the Company's substantial debt service obligations and reliance on Government
contracts, any such interruption or delay could severely impact the Company's
financial condition.

The Company continues to receive requests for certifications, representations or
other commentary regarding Year 2000 issues from its customers. In some cases,
such requests have resulted in contract modifications regarding statements about
the Year 2000 compliance of the Company's products. In addition, the Federal
Acquisition Regulation requires that each contract entered into with the
Government after October 21, 1997 incorporate by reference a provision of the
Federal Acquisition Regulations which requires that all information technology
acquired by Government agencies be Year 2000 compliant. There can be no
assurance that the Company will not be adversely affected if its customers
enforced Year 2000 requirements contained in the Company's prime contracts,
whether through incorporation of the Federal Acquisition Regulations or
otherwise, which are found to be inconsistent with the Company's suppliers'
commitments with respect to Year 2000 compliance or warranty or which are
related to products produced, or services performed, solely by the Company.

Contingency Plans: The Company will develop appropriate contingency plans
for any items which are not Year 2000 compliant and which are deemed likely to
have a significant impact on the Company's business operations. The Company
intends to implement any such contingency plans by October 31, 1999. Management
believes it is expending appropriate efforts in addressing the Year 2000 issue
so that the Company's business operations will not be significantly disrupted.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur Year 2000
problems relating to its efforts or those involving its customers or suppliers
or that the costs of such efforts will not be greater than currently estimated.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates due to 
investments in instruments made for non-trading purposes. The interest rate risk
relates primarily to the Company's portfolio of short-term investment grade
securities. The Company is also subject to risk relating to fluctuating interest
rates under its Senior Credit Facility.  The Company believes that interest rate
risk is immaterial to the Company.
