                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

    Analysts International Corporation ("AiC") provides a full range of computer
software services to computer users, computer manufacturers and software
developers throughout the United States and in Canada and the United Kingdom.
Over 85% of the Company's revenues are from services provided to its existing
customer base, which consists primarily of Fortune 500 companies.  This high
percentage of repeat business reflects AiC's emphasis on customer satisfaction
and development of long term relationships with customers who have an ongoing
need for the services which the Company provides.

    AiC offers its clients a full range of software service offerings, sometime
referred to by others in the industry as "solutions," including custom software
development under AiC project management, Year 2000 assessment and remediation
services, supplemental IT and Software Engineering staffing, maintenance of
legacy systems, help desk services and single source staffing of programmers and
other software professionals through the Company's TechWest Division.  The
Company's projects involve nearly every type and manufacture of computers and
all of the major operating systems.  Examples of the types of projects in which
the Company was involved in during the fiscal year include: assisting the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in its move into an advanced computer-assisted
design (CAD) environment; assisting Brooklyn Union in the determination of the
scope and complexity of its Year 2000 exposure; and enhancing and supporting two
specific operations systems for Lucent Technologies, Inc.  These and other
customer projects are highlighted in detail in AiC's 1997 Annual Report.


                                        2

<PAGE>

    AiC's largest customer is U S West Inc., which is headquartered in Denver
and provides telecommunication services to over 25 million customers in 14
states as well as domestic and international cable and telephone, wireless
communications, directory and information services.  The Company is U S West's
single source for supplemental staffing for U S West's IT/Software Engineering
needs.  To meet these needs, and to facilitate its management of over 800
computer programmers and other technical personnel it has on assignment at U S
West, AiC established its TechWest Division, which fills requirements, manages
assigned personnel and provides time record keeping/billing services through AiC
proprietary software developed specifically for this engagement.  AiC's three-
year contract expires May 31, 1998, and the Company believes it likely that the
contract will be renewed for an additional two years.  Revenues from services
provided to U S West were about 22% of total revenues during the last two fiscal
years and are expected to be about that same percentage for fiscal 1998.  Loss
of this business could have a material adverse effect on the Company, although
the Company believes that it could replace the business lost if the contract is
not renewed and that the replacement business would mitigate or offset the
profit lost from the loss of the U S West business.

    The Company has expanded the TechWest service offering to other clients
during the last year.  Chevron Information Technology Company, Chevron
Corporation's technology subsidiary, and Salt River Project, the nation's third
largest public power utility, became TechWest customers during fiscal 1997 and
now use AiC as their sole source for supplemental IT/Software Engineering
staffing.


                                        3

    AiC provided services through 29 of its branch offices during the year to
various divisions of International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), its
second largest customer, as one of nine select national service providers under
IBM's National Procurement initiative.  The Company's contract with IBM expires
October 31, 1997.  The Company and IBM are currently negotiating a renewal
through December 31, 1998.  IBM's National Procurement initiative requires AiC
and the eight other participating vendors to accept lower hourly rates in return
for the opportunity to do a greater volume of business with IBM.  During fiscal
1997 the increased volume of business done with IBM more than offset the reduced
rate structure, and the Company believes it has performed satisfactorily under
its national contract with IBM.  There can be no assurance, however, that volume
will continue to offset lower rates or that the national contract will be
renewed.  IBM business under the national contract accounted for about 20% of
revenues in each of the last three fiscal years.  Loss of this business could
therefore have a material adverse effect on the Company, although the Company
believes that prevailing high demand for the services it provides would permit
it to replace business lost as a result of non-renewal and at least mitigate, if
not offset, the profit lost if the IBM national contract is not renewed.

    The registrant provides its services to a wide range of industries.  Its
fiscal 1997 revenues were derived from services rendered to customers in the
following industry groups:

    AiC provided services to approximately 900 clients and was engaged in
approximately 6,500 different customer projects during the fiscal year.
Consistent with its practices in prior years, the Company rendered these
services almost exclusively on an hourly rate on a time and materials hourly
rate basis under which invoices for services rendered were submitted no less
frequently than monthly with payment due generally net 30 days.

ORGANIZATION AND MARKETING

    AiC provides its software services through its branch and field offices,
assigned on a geographical basis to one of five regions.  Each branch office is
staffed with technical personnel and is managed by a branch manager, who has
primary responsibility for the administration, personnel and recruiting,
customer relations and profitability of the branch.  The branch manager has
broad authority to conduct the operation of the branch, subject to adherence to
corporate policies.  In general, field offices are established to support
specific projects for one or more specific customers at locations not served by
a local branch office and are managed by a branch


                                        5

<PAGE>

within the same geographical region.  A field office may become a branch office
when the volume of business and the prospects for additional business justify
the additional location expenses associated with branch office status.

    During the fiscal year, the Company maintained branch offices in the
following cities:  Atlanta,  Austin,  Boca Raton,  Chicago,  Cincinnati,
Cleveland,  Columbus (Ohio),  Dallas, Danbury,  Denver, Des Moines, Detroit,
Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Iselin (New Jersey), Los Angeles, Lexington
(Kentucky),  Minneapolis,  New York City,  Omaha, Phoenix,  Raleigh/Durham,
Rochester (Minnesota), Rochester (New York),  St. Louis,  San Francisco,
San Jose, Seattle, Tampa, Tulsa and Toronto, Canada.

    AiC utilizes its own direct sales force to sell its services.  At the end of
the fiscal year, the Company's sales staff totaled 100 in number. The ability to
recruit and hire experienced technical personnel with backgrounds and experience
suitable for customer requirements is an important factor in AiC's business, and
each branch office employs at least one full time recruiter.  At the end of the
fiscal year, the Company's recruiting staff totaled 115 in number.

COMPETITION

    AiC competes with software consulting divisions of several large companies
(including DEC, Andersen Consulting and IBM) on a national basis.  These
organizations and their software consulting divisions are substantially larger
than the Company in terms of sales volume and personnel and have substantially
greater financial resources.

    AiC also competes with other national software services companies such as
Computer Task Group, CGA, Keane Inc., and Computer Horizons.


                                        6

<PAGE>

    The Company's branches compete in their local market areas with numerous
locally based software services firms.  Most of the locally based competitors
are approximately the same size as or smaller than the Company's local branch,
although in certain market areas they are larger than the Company's local
branch.

    AiC believes its total staff and sales volume are larger than most of the
national and local software services companies, but in some market areas certain
of these competitors may be larger.  Although there are no comprehensive
industry statistics available, AiC believes it is among the ten largest national
software services companies in the United States.

    Principal competitive factors in the software services business include
technical expertise, responsiveness to customers' needs, reputation and
credibility, and hourly rates.  AiC believes it is competitive in these
respects.

PERSONNEL

    AiC has approximately 4,650 personnel.  Of these, approximately 4,000 are
systems analysts, computer programmers and other technical personnel whose
services are billable to clients.  Several years of programming experience is
generally a prerequisite to employment with the Company.

    Maintaining the present volume of the Company's business and its continued
growth depend to a significant extent on its ability to attract and retain
qualified technical personnel.  Such personnel are in great demand.  Although
AiC has been able to attract and retain qualified technical personnel and
believes its personnel relations are satisfactory, there can be no assurance the
Company will be able to continue to attract and retain such personnel.  Its
inability to do so


                                        7

<PAGE>

would have a material adverse effect on the registrant's business.

OTHER MATTERS

    AiC was incorporated under Minnesota law on March 29, 1966.  Its principal
office is identified in response to Item 2 below.  Raw materials, seasonality,
compliance with environmental protection laws, and patents, trademarks,
licenses, franchises or other concessions are not material to an understanding
of the Company's business.  No portion of the Company's business is subject to
renegotiation of profits at the election of the government.  Backlog is not
material because nearly all of the Company's contracts for services, including
contracts with the government (which are not material), are terminable by either
the customer or the Company on notice of 30 days or less.

CAUTIONING STATEMENT UNDER THE SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES
LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

    Statements included in this document may be "forward looking statement"
within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and of Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Additional oral or written forward-looking statements may be made by the Company
from time to time, and such statements may be included in documents that are
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Words such as "believes,"
"intends," "possible," "expects," "estimates," "anticipates," or "plans" and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

    Forward looking statements are based on expectations and assumptions, and
they involve


                                        8

<PAGE>

risks and uncertainties which could cause results or outcomes to differ
materially from expectations.  Among the risks and uncertainties important to
the Company's business are the continued need of current and prospective
customers for the Company's services, competition, the availability of qualified
professional staff, and the Company's ability to increase rates as labor and
operating costs increase.  There may be other factors, such as general economic
conditions which affect businesses generally, which may cause results to vary
from expectations.
