                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (UNAUDITED)



1.       Basis of Presentation

         The information presented for June 30, 1997 and 1998, and for the
three-month and six-month periods then ended, is unaudited, but, in the opinion
of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which
the Company considers necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's
financial position as of June 30, 1998 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and
1998. The financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997, which were
included as part of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No.
000-22035). Certain 1997 amounts have been reclassified for comparability with
the 1998 financial statement presentation.

         Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.

2.       Internal Use Software Costs

         On March 4, 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-1 ("SOP"), ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS
OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPED OR OBTAINED FOR INTERNAL USE. This SOP provides
guidance on capitalizing certain costs related to computer software developed or
obtained for internal use. The SOP is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. Earlier application is
encouraged in fiscal years for which annual financial statements have not been
issued. The Company adopted the SOP effective January 1, 1998. The SOP causes
amounts that otherwise would have been charged to selling, general and
administrative expenses in the period incurred to be capitalized and amortized
over the useful life of the computer software, typically three to seven years.
Although the full impact of this SOP on future periods has not been estimated,
management of the Company expects the SOP will have a favorable impact on the
Company's 1998 financial statements. Through June 30, 1998, $382,000 in costs
have been capitalized by the Company pursuant to this SOP. For the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998, the effect of this change in accounting was to
increase net income by $142,000 and $229,000, respectively, increase basic net
income per share by $0.01 and $0.02, respectively, and increase diluted net
income per share by $0.01 for both periods. Because the SOP requires that
computer software be ready for its intended use before amortization begins, no
amortization expense has been recognized for these amounts through June 30,
1998.

3.       Acquisitions

         On July 1, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of two 
information services technology companies using a portion of the proceeds 
from the Company's initial public offering completed in January 1997. The 
Company acquired the business operations of Data Systems Technology, Inc. 
(DST), which had offices in Columbia and Greensboro, South Carolina, for 
$133,930 with up to an additional $366,070 contingency payment due in the 
third quarter of 1998, assuming certain operating income targets are attained 
by the acquired business. The Company also acquired the business operations 
of Kansas City-based J2, Inc. d.b.a. DP Career Associates (DPCA), for $5.2 
million, of which $3.9 million was paid on July 1, 1997 and $1.3 million was 
paid on February 27, 1998 as a result of the acquired business attaining 
certain gross profit targets. Each acquisition is accounted for as a 
purchase. In connection with these acquisitions, the Company has recorded 
approximately $5,396,000 of goodwill which is being amortized on a 
straight-line basis over 30 years.

4.       Goodwill

         Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of net tangible
assets acquired through acquisitions and is amortized on a straight-line basis
over its estimated useful life, generally 30 years. Management periodically
assesses whether there has been a permanent impairment in the value of goodwill.
The amount of such impairment is determined by comparing anticipated
undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the related goodwill.

5.       Income Taxes

         Before January 1, 1997, the Company, with the consent of its
shareholders, was taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, which provides that, in lieu of corporate income taxes,
the shareholders of the S Corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of
the Company's taxable income. Effective January 1, 1997, the Company terminated
its S Corporation election and became a C Corporation subject to corporate
income taxes. The cumulative effect of this change, through June 30, 1997, was
to reduce income taxes appearing on the Statement of Income for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 by $125,000 and create a current deferred tax asset and a
long-term deferred tax liability. The balances of the deferred tax accounts at
December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1998 relate primarily to differences in the
timing of deductions of health care claims reserves, vacation liabilities,
depreciation and amortization for financial statement and tax purposes.

6.       Initial Public Offering

         On January 29, 1997, the Company consummated an initial public offering
of 3,100,000 shares of its Common Stock at a price of $16.00 per share, of which
2,300,000 shares were issued and sold by the Company and 800,000 shares were
sold by a shareholder of the Company. Shortly thereafter the representatives of
the several underwriters exercised their over-allotment option resulting in the
sale of 465,000 shares by other shareholders of the Company. The net proceeds to
the Company from the offering were $33,144,000. The Company did not receive any
proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling shareholders.

7.       Credit Facilities

         The Company maintains credit facilities of $39,900,000. The facilities
are provided in equal amounts by three banks and have a five-year maturity which
may be extended each year for an additional year. If the facilities are not
extended, principal on one of the facilities must be repaid in four equal annual
installments while the other two facilities require principal repayment at the
end of four years. Until that time, interest only is payable monthly. Two of the
facilities allow the Company to select among prime rate and London Interbank
Offered Rate (LIBOR) based interest rates while the third has only LIBOR based
interest rates. All of the facilities have interest rates that increase as the
balance outstanding under the facilities increases. At June 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, no amounts were outstanding under the facilities. The Company
has selected a 30-day LIBOR based rate and, if any borrowings were outstanding
under the facilities at June 30, 1998, the rate on such borrowings would have
ranged from 6.0% to 6.6%. The facilities also contain fees, ranging from 0.125%
to 0.3125% annually, which are charged on the unused portion of the facilities.
The facilities are collateralized by accounts receivable of the Company.

         The credit facilities include several covenants, including one
requiring the maintenance of a certain tangible net worth ratio, which limits
the amount of dividends that can be paid. The covenants also impose limits on
incurring additional debt and require a certain debt service coverage ratio to
be maintained. Amounts advanced under the facilities can be used for
acquisitions and general working capital purposes.

8.        Risk Factors

         Readers of the Financial Statements are encouraged to refer to the
Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of risk factors,
including those under the heading 'YEAR 2000 ISSUES.'

CLIENT CONTRACTS WITHOUT PENALTY, CHANGES IN THE COMPANY'S DEPENDENCE ON
SIGNIFICANT CLIENTS, CHANGES IN GROSS MARGINS DUE TO A VARIETY OF FACTORS
(INCLUDING INCREASED WAGE AND BENEFIT COSTS THAT ARE NOT OFFSET BY BILL RATE
INCREASES), THE TYPES OF SERVICES PERFORMED BY THE COMPANY DURING A PARTICULAR
PERIOD AND COMPETITION. PLEASE REFER TO A DISCUSSION OF THESE AND OTHER FACTORS
IN THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER
31, 1997 AND OTHER SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION FILINGS. THE COMPANY
DISCLAIMS ANY INTENT OR OBLIGATION TO UPDATE PUBLICLY THESE FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS, WHETHER AS A RESULT OF NEW INFORMATION, FUTURE EVENTS OR OTHERWISE.

         THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT. THE COMPANY'S
FISCAL YEAR ENDS ON DECEMBER 31.

                                    OVERVIEW

         Metro Information Services, Inc. ("Metro" or the "Company") provides a
wide range of information technology ("IT") consulting and custom software
development services through 33 offices in the United States and Puerto Rico.
The Company's more than 1,950 consultants, 62% of whom are salaried, work with
clients' internal IT departments on all aspects of computer systems and
applications development. Services performed by Metro include application
systems development and maintenance, IT architecture and engineering, systems
consulting, project outsourcing and general support services. The Company
supports all major computer technology platforms (mainframe, mid-range,
client/server and network environments) and supports client projects using a
broad range of software applications. For example, the Company implements SAP's
client/server software, custom develops Oracle, Informix, DB2, VisualBasic and
C++ applications, implements and supports Windows NT, Novell and UNIX based
network environments and supports numerous other application environments.

         Metro's clients operate in a wide variety of industries including
communications, distribution, financial services, health care, information
technology, manufacturing and utilities. The Company emphasizes long-term
relationships with its clients rather than one-time projects or assignments.
During the 12 months ended June 30, 1998, the Company performed IT services for
436 clients (excluding clients that generated less than $25,000 in revenue
during such period).

         IT services are primarily provided by the Company through supplemental
IT services arrangements and, to a lesser extent, through project outsourcing
services arrangements. Substantially all services are billed on a time and
materials basis. During the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company
estimates that supplemental IT services accounted for more than 90% and project
outsourcing services accounted for less than 10% of the Company's revenue.

         Revenue growth is derived primarily from increases in the number of
consultants placed with existing and new clients. Between June 30, 1997 and June
30, 1998, the number of full time consultants grew from 1,442 to 1,980,
including consultants gained through acquisitions. In addition, over the same
period, the Company increased the average billing rates charged to clients for
consultants in an attempt to keep pace with the increased costs of consultants.

         The Company's past financial performance should not be relied on as an
indication of future performance. Period-to-period comparisons of the Company's
financial results are not necessarily meaningful indicators of future
performance.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         FOR PURPOSES OF THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION, A MATURE OFFICE IS AN OFFICE
THAT WAS OWNED BY THE COMPANY FOR AT LEAST 12 MONTHS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
EARLIER PERIOD BEING COMPARED AND A NEW OFFICE IS AN OFFICE OPENED OR ACQUIRED
THEREAFTER.

         THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 
         30, 1997

         REVENUE. Revenue increased $16.5 million, or 46.0%, to $52.4 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $35.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997. This increase is primarily a result of increased billings
to existing clients, the addition of new clients and increased billing rates
charged for the Company's consultants.

         COST OF REVENUE. Cost of revenue increased $11.0 million, or 43.8%, to
$36.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $25.0 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1997. Cost of revenue increased primarily due to
compensation and benefits associated with growth in the number of consultants.
As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue decreased to 68.7% for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 from 69.8% for the three months ended June 30, 1997
primarily because of bill rates to clients increasing faster than pay rates to
consultants during the period.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $5.6 million, or 51.0%, to $16.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $10.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit
increased to 31.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1998 from 30.2% for the
three months ended June 30, 1997.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $3.0 million, or 42.4%, to $10.2 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $7.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997. This increase is due primarily to costs associated with
recently opened offices, growth of administrative staff in mature offices,
hiring additional corporate staff to support the increased number of offices and
development of the Company's proprietary business systems. As a percentage of
revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 19.5% for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 from 20.0% for the three months ended June 30,
1997.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE. Depreciation and amortization
expense increased $187,000, or 73.9%, to $441,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 from $254,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. This
increase is primarily attributable to depreciation on additions to computer
equipment and software and, to a lesser extent, amortization of goodwill related
to the Company's acquisitions. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and
amortization expense increased to 0.9% for the three months ended June 30, 1998
from 0.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

         OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased $2.3 million, or 67.6%, to
$5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $3.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of revenue, operating income
increased to 10.9% for the three months ended June 30, 1998 from 9.5% for the
three months ended June 30, 1997. The improvement in operating income margin is
in part the result of the Company's centralization of administrative functions
and leverage obtained from the Company's proprietary business systems.

         NET INTEREST INCOME. Interest income decreased by $9,000, or 3.8%, to
$216,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $225,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997.

for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $68.9 million for the six months

As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue decreased to 69.1% for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 from 70.2% for the six months ended June 30, 1997
primarily because of bill rates to clients increasing faster than pay rates to
consultants during the period.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $10.1 million, or 49.4%, to $30.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $20.6 million for the six

Company's acquisitions. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and
amortization expense increased to 0.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1998
from 0.7% for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

         NET INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased by $55,000, or 16.9%, to
$384,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $329,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. This change reflects a decrease in the average level of
borrowings during the period and investment of a portion of the proceeds of the
Company's January 1997 initial public offering of Common Stock in interest
bearing instruments.

         INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES. Income before income taxes increased $4.3
million, or 66.1%, to $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from
$6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of revenue,
income before income taxes increased to 10.8% for the six months ended June 30,

Income taxes increased $1.8 million or 74.5%, to $4.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 from $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. As
a percentage of revenue, income taxes increased to 4.3% for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 from 3.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. In 1996, the
Company was an S corporation for federal and certain state income tax purposes.
Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1997 include a one-time reduction
in income tax expense of $125,000, which represents the cumulative effect of the
Company converting from an S corporation to a C corporation effective January 1,
1997. Excluding the $125,000 one-time reduction in income taxes, income taxes
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 would have been $2.6 million, the
Company's effective tax rate would have been 40% and income taxes for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 would have represented an increase of $1.7 million or
66.1%.

         NET INCOME. Net income increased $2.5 million, or 60.9%, to $6.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $4.0 million for the six

53.6%, to $0.43 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $0.28 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. Excluding the $125,000 one-time credit described
under 'INCOME TAXES' above, diluted net income per share for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 would have been $0.27 and diluted net income per share for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 would have represented an increase of $0.16
or 59.3%.

(1)  Includes the $770,000 of non-recurring, non-cash compensation expense
     charged to selling, general and administrative expenses accrued in the
     fourth quarter of 1995 for stock issued for services performed by employees
     in 1995. Excluding the effect of such expense, income from operations and
     income from operations as a percentage of revenue for the fourth quarter of
     1995 would have been $1.6 million and 6.6%, respectively.

         Metro's operating results are adversely affected when client facilities
close due to holidays or inclement weather. The Company generally experiences a
certain amount of seasonality in the fourth quarter due to the number of
holidays and closings of client facilities during that quarter. Further, the
Company generally experiences lower operating results in the first quarter due
in part to the timing of unemployment and FICA tax accruals and delays in
clients' contract renewal related to clients' budget approval processes.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         In January 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of
3,100,000 shares of its Common Stock at a price of $16.00 per share. Of the
3,100,000 shares, 2,300,000 shares were issued and sold by the Company and
800,000 shares were sold by a shareholder of the Company. Shortly thereafter the
representatives of the several underwriters exercised their over-allotment
option resulting in the sale of 465,000 shares by other shareholders of the
Company. The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $33,144,000. The
Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the
selling shareholders. The Company used $4,352,920 of the proceeds from the
initial public offering during the third quarter of 1997 and $1,284,024 during
the first quarter of 1998 for the acquisitions of Data Systems Technology, Inc.
and DP Career Associates described above.

                                      14
<PAGE>


         The Company made its first sale of stock under the Metro Information
Services, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan on September 30, 1997. The Company
sold 10,000 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $167,350 on September 30,
1997, 9,984 shares for $184,587 on December 31, 1997, 12,000 shares for $289,428
on March 31, 1998 and 9,486 shares for $278,167 on June 30, 1998.

         During the six months ended June 30, 1998, certain employees exercised
stock options which vested on December 31, 1997 pursuant to the 1997 Employee
Incentive Stock Option Plan. Total proceeds from the issuance of stock for
option exercises during the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $144,960.

         The Company funded its operations primarily from cash generated by
operations. Net cash provided by operations was $1,221,812 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and consisted primarily of net income of $6,457,410 and,
excluding the effects of acquisitions, increases in accounts receivable of
$8,751,980 and accrued compensation and benefits of $3,028,952. The increases in
accounts receivable and accrued compensation and benefits are primarily due to
the revenue growth experienced during the six months ended June 30, 1998. The
Company's working capital was $39,712,000 at June 30, 1998 compared to
$34,560,000 at December 31, 1997.

         The Company's investing activities include $1,264,886 spent on
developing new computer systems for financial accounting, human resources and
payroll activities. These systems, which the Company expects to deploy in 1999,
are expected to provide enhanced information processing capabilities and
integration. Management expects these systems will be year 2000 compliant. A
combination of Metro employees and outside consultants will implement these
systems. The Company's current estimate of the cost of these systems is $2.2
million. The Company expects to capitalize and amortize these costs over these
systems' useful lives.

         The Company has $39,900,000 of credit facilities provided in equal
amounts by three banks. The facilities have a five-year maturity which may be
extended each year for an additional year. If the facilities are not extended,
principal on one of the facilities must be repaid in four equal annual
installments while the other two facilities require principal repayment at the
end of four years. Until that time interest only is payable monthly. Two of the
facilities allow the Company to select among prime rate and London Interbank
Offered Rate (LIBOR) based interest rates while the third has only LIBOR based
interest rates. All of the facilities have interest rates which increase as the
balance outstanding under the facilities increases. At June 30, 1998, no amounts
were outstanding under the facilities. The Company has selected a 30-day LIBOR
based rate and, if any borrowings were outstanding under the facilities at June
30, 1998, the rate on such borrowings would have ranged from 6.0% to 6.6%. The
facilities also contain fees, ranging from 0.125% to 0.3125% annually, which are
charged on the unused portion of the facilities. The facilities are
collateralized by accounts receivable of the Company.

         The credit facilities include several covenants, including one
requiring the maintenance of a certain tangible net worth ratio, which limit the
amount of dividends that can be paid. The covenants also impose limits on
incurring additional debt and require a certain debt service coverage ratio to
be maintained. Amounts advanced under the facilities can be used for
acquisitions and general working capital purposes.

         The Company believes that the net proceeds from its initial public
offering, combined with available funds under its credit facilities and cash
flows from operations will be adequate to meet its needs for working capital and
capital expenditures for at least the next two years. Any significant
acquisitions, however, may require additional debt and equity financing.
