ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
           
    THE FOLLOWING MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE
MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995, WHICH INVOLVE
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES.  THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY
FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF
CERTAIN FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE SET FORTH HEREIN AND UNDER THE CAPTION "RISK
FACTORS" IN THE COMPANY'S REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-1, FILE NO. 333-
41121, DECLARED EFFECTIVE ON FEBRUARY 12, 1998.

OVERVIEW

     FCG provides information technology and other consulting services to
payors, providers and other healthcare organizations in North America and
Europe.  The Company's services are designed to increase its clients'
operations effectiveness in order to reduce cost, improve customer service and
enhance the quality of patient care.  The Company's services address the
increasing need of its clients for healthcare-specific information technology
expertise to objectively evaluate, select, implement and manage an optimal set
of information systems and infrastructures.  The Company's consultants provide
this expertise through multi-disciplinary teams specifically formed to provide
a unique solution for each client.  The Company believes that its success is
attributable to its strong relationships with industry-leading clients, the
healthcare, technology and consulting expertise of the Company's consultants,
and the depth and breadth of its consulting services.

     The Company generates substantially all of its revenue from fees for
professional services.  The Company typically bills for its services on an
hourly, fixed-fee or fixed-fee per month basis as specified by the agreement
with a particular client.  The Company establishes standard 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 or historical rates charged by the
Company.  For services billed on an hourly basis, the Company recognizes
revenue as services are performed.  For services billed on a fixed fee basis,
the Company recognizes revenue using the percentage of completion method based
on the amount of time completed on each assignment versus the projected number
of hours required to complete such 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.  The
Company may obtain payment in advance of providing services.  These advances
are recorded as deferred revenue and reflected as a liability on the Company's
balance sheet.

     Cost of services primarily consists of the salaries, bonuses and related
benefits of consultants, subcontractor expenses, and the costs of the Company's
supplemental executive 

                                       9.

retirement plan.  General and administrative expenses primarily consist of 
the costs attributable to office space occupancy; investments in the 
Company's information systems, research and practice support and quality 
initiatives; salaries and expenses for executive management, financial 
accounting and administrative personnel; recruiting fees and professional 
development; and marketing, legal and other professional services.

     In connection with the Company's Associate 401(k) and Stock Ownership 
Plan ("ASOP") and certain non-qualified stock options granted to the 
Company's vice presidents, the Company recognizes a compensation expense on 
its consolidated statement of operations.  The recurring portion of the 
Company's compensation expense relating to stock issuances and the 
amortization of deferred compensation is reflected in the Company's 
consolidated statements of operations as general and administrative expenses 
or cost of services based on the function of the employee to whom the charge 
relates.  Beginning in 1998, the Company has granted all stock options at the 
fair market value and, in connection with the Company's ASOP to match 
employee 401(k) contributions with shares of Common Stock based on the fair 
market value of the shares at the time matching contributions are made.

     The Company's most significant expenses are its human resource and 
related salary and benefit expenses.  As of March 31, 1998, approximately 78% 
of the Company's 644 employees are consultants, and the salaries and benefits 
of such consultants are recognized in the Company's cost of services.  
Non-billable employee salaries and benefits are recognized as a component of 
general and administrative expenses.  The Company'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 
month.  The Company manages consultant utilization by monitoring assignment 
requirements and timetables, available and required skills, and available 
consultant hours per week and per month.  The number of consultants staffed 
on an assignment will vary according to the size, complexity, duration and 
demands of the assignment.  Assignment terminations, completions 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 the Company 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.

     The Company's effective tax rate has varied from period to period due to 
differences between book and tax deductions associated with certain 
non-deductible operating expenses, including certain compensation expenses 
related to the ASOP.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997

    NET REVENUE.  The Company's net revenue increased to $28.8 million, or
43.1%, for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $20.2 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997.  This increase was primarily attributable to an increase
in revenue from the Company's implementation, operations effectiveness, and
integration services and an increase in consultant utilization.

                                     10.
<PAGE>

    COST OF SERVICES.  Cost of services increased to $16.3 million, or 34.7%,
for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $12.1 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997.  The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the
number of consultants.  Cost of services as a percentage of revenue decreased
to 56.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from 59.9% for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997.  This decrease was primarily attributable to increased
realization of standard fees and increased utilization rates for the Company's
consultants during the quarter ended March 31, 1998.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and administrative expenses 
increased to $9.9 million, or 47.1%, for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 
from $6.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. General and 
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 34.4% for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1998 from 33.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. 
This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the Company's 
hiring, including increased hiring from its expansion into Europe.

    COMPENSATION EXPENSES RELATED TO STOCK ISSUANCES. Compensation expenses
related to stock issuances decreased to zero for the quarter March 31, 1998
from $523,000 and for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  This decrease was
attributable to the discontinuance of certain compensatory stock and option
issuances.

    INTEREST INCOME, NET.  Interest income, net of interest expense, increased
to $316,000  for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $21,000 net expense for
the quarter ended March 31, 1997. Interest income net of interest expense as a
percentage of revenue increased to 1.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998
from (0.1%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  This increase was primarily
attributable to the Company's increased amounts in cash and cash equivalents
raised from the Company's initial public offering in February 1998.

    A substantial portion of the Company's expenses, particularly personnel and
related costs, depreciation, office rent and occupancy costs, are relatively
fixed.  Certain variable costs are assignment-specific and are billed as
incurred.  The Company's quarterly operating results may vary significantly in
the future depending on a number of factors, many of which are outside the
control of the Company.  These factors may include:  the reduction in size,
delay in commencement, interruption or termination of one or more significant
engagements or assignments; fluctuations in consultant hiring and utilization;
the loss of personnel; the loss of one or more significant clients; the
unpredictability of engaging new clients and additional assignments from
existing clients; increased competition; write-offs of client billings;
consolidation of, and subsequent reduction in the number of, healthcare
providers; pricing pressure; the number, timing and contractual terms of
significant client engagements; market demand for the Company's services;
delays or increased expenses incurred in connection with existing assignments;
changes in pricing policies by the Company or its competitors; changes in the
Company's business strategies; variability in the number of business days
within a quarter; and international currency fluctuations.  Due to the
foregoing factors, quarterly revenue and operating results are not predictable
with any significant degree of accuracy.  In particular, the timing between
initial client contract and fulfillment of the criteria necessary for revenue
recognition can be lengthy and unpredictable.  Business practices of clients,
such as deferring commitments on new assignments until after the end of fiscal
periods, could require the 

                                      11.
<PAGE>

Company to maintain a significant number of under-utilized consultants which 
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial 
condition and results of operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company generated cash flow 
from operations of $1.9 million.  During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, 
the Company used cash flow of approximately $1.1 million to purchase property 
and equipment, including computer and related equipment and office furniture. 
Depreciation expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was approximately 
$650,000.  During the quarter ended March 31, 1998 the Company generated cash 
flow of $43.1 million for financing activities. At March 31, 1998, the 
Company had working capital of $53.1 million, an increase of $43.8 million 
from March 31, 1997.  The primary reason for the increase was the 
completion of the Company's initial public offering in February 1998.

    The Company has a revolving line of credit which allows the Company to
borrow up to $6.0 million at an interest rate of the prevailing prime rate.
The revolving line of credit expires on December 31, 1998.  There was no
outstanding balance under the line of credit at March 31, 1998.  The Company
has two term loan facilities ("Term Loan A" and Term Loan B").  Term Loan A is
a $305,000 facility under which approximately $271,000 was outstanding as of
March 31, 1998.  Term Loan A expires on July 1, 2003.  Term Loan B is a $4.0
million facility under which approximately $507,000 was outstanding as of March
31, 1998.  Term Loan B expires on December 4, 2001.  Term Loan A and Term Loan
B bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the prevailing prime rate plus
0.5%.  All borrowings under the Company's credit facilities are secured by the
Company's accounts receivable and other rights to payment, general intangibles
and equipment.  The line of credit agreement provides that the Company must
satisfy certain covenants and restrictions.

           million and $9.8 million, respectively.
           
           On January 13, 1998, pursuant to that certain Share Acquisition
           Agreement, dated January 13, 1998, by and among FCG Enterprises,
           Inc., a California corporation and predecessor of the Company
           ("FCG"), Christine Anne Greenhalgh and Jean Mary Roberts, FCG issued
           36,300 shares of its Common Stock (the "FCG Shares") in a private
           placement to Christine Anne Greenhalgh, one of two selling
           stockholders.  In the transaction, FCG paid an aggregate of 380,000
           British pounds for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock
           of Greenhalgh and Company Limited, consisting of 134,231 British
           pounds paid in cash and 245,769 British pounds paid in the FCG
           Shares, all of which were issued to a "Qualified Regulation S
           Selling Stockholder," as such term is defined in Rule 902
           promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
           
           The Company used approximately $500,000 of the net proceeds from the
           offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.  All
           net proceeds have been invested in cash, cash equivalents and short-
           term investments.  The use of the proceeds from the offering does
           not represent a material change in the use of the proceeds described
           in the prospectus.
