                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.       Basis of Presentation

         The information presented for June 30, 2000 and 1999, 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 consolidated 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, 2000 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999. The consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1999, which were included as part of
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No. 000-22035). Certain 1999
amounts have been reclassified for comparability with the 2000 financial
statement presentation.

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

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated. Results of operations of the Company include
the results of operations of the subsidiaries since the acquisitions as follows:

2.       Restricted Cash

         Metro agreed to act as payment agent for a client on an information
technology project beginning in 1998. Client approved invoices were paid out
of the restricted cash held. Metro was not obligated to pay invoices that
exceeded the amount of the restricted cash held. As of December 31, 1999 and
June 30, 2000, the Company held no restricted cash for this client.

3.       Acquisition

         On August 13, 1999, the Company acquired all of the membership and
equity interests of Acuity Technology Services, LLC and Acuity Technology
Services of Dallas, LLC ("ATS" collectively), both of which are information
technology consulting services and personnel staffing businesses located in
Washington D.C., Baltimore, Maryland and Dallas, Texas for a purchase price
of approximately $40,249,000, of which $39,425,000 was paid at closing,
$666,000 was paid in November 1999 and approximately $158,000 represents
direct costs related to the acquisition. The Company has made an allocation
of a portion of the purchase price to net tangible and intangible assets
acquired based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition,
with the excess purchase price over the fair value assigned to

If ATS achieves certain predetermined financial results during a twelve-month
measurement period, the Company will make an additional payment, which will be
recorded as additional goodwill. The measurement period for ATS ends on August
31, 2000.

         Unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 would have been as follows had the ATS and other
acquisitions completed in 1999 occurred as of the beginning of the period:

There is no difference between the pro forma and actual consolidated results
of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000 since the acquisitions
occurred before January 1, 2000.

4.    Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

      Goodwill and other intangible assets represent the excess of cost over
fair value of net tangible assets acquired through acquisitions and are
amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives,
generally 30 years and 3 to 20 years, respectively. Management periodically
assesses whether there has been a permanent impairment in the value of
goodwill and other intangible assets. Impairment is determined by comparing
anticipated undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the
related goodwill and other intangible assets. If such assets are considered
impaired, the impairment is measured by which the carrying amount of the
assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

5.       Credit Facilities

The Company maintains credit facilities of $125,000,000. The facilities are
provided in equal amounts of $35,000,000 by three banks and $20,000,000 by a
fourth bank. The outstanding balance on these facilities as of June 30, 2000 was
$79,659,311. The facilities mature in June 2005 and may be extended each year
for an additional year. Until June 2005, interest, but no principal, is payable
monthly. The interest rates on the Company's facilities change from time to
time. Two of the facilities allow the Company to select among prime rate and
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) based interest rates while the other two
have only LIBOR based interest rates. All of the facilities have interest rates
that increase as the balance outstanding under the facilities increases. The
Company has selected a variety of LIBOR based rates and the rate on such
borrowings ranged from 6.87% to 7.49% on June 30, 2000. The facilities also
contain fees, ranging from 0.125% to 0.380% annually, which are charged on the
unused portion of the facilities. The facilities are collateralized by accounts
receivable of the Company.

       The credit facilities contain 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
other debt, limit the amount borrowed to a multiple of adjusted earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization 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. Quarterly
testing dates are required for these covenants. These covenants may prevent the
Company from borrowing the full amount of the credit facilities or trigger a
default under the credit facilities.

       On March 20, 2000, the Company renegotiated the terms of its line of
credit facilities. The change increased the Maximum Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio
from 3.0 to 1.0 to 4.0 to 1.0 through September 30, 2001 and increased the
Funded Debt to Capitalization ratio to 65% through December 31, 2000 and 60%
through December 31, 2001.

7.       Restructuring Liabilities

         On May 25, 2000, the Company's Executive Management approved a plan to
close eight of its smaller offices and combine operations in two other markets.
The locations to be closed or merged, the individuals to be terminated and the
amounts to be paid are specifically identified in the plan.

         By June 2, 2000 offices located in Memphis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis,
Orlando, Pittsburgh, Portland, Sacramento, and Salt Lake City had been closed.
By June 30, 2000, all of the employees at these closed locations identified to
be terminated had been terminated and all severance paid. Revenue from the
closed offices amounted to less than 1.5% of the Company's 1999 revenue.

         During June 2000, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of
$746,600 ($440,494 or $0.03 per share net of tax benefit) which appears in
the Income Statement under the caption "Restructuring Charge". The charge
represents management's estimate of the ultimate obligations associated with
executing the plan at the time the estimates were made. The restructuring
charge for costs to exit certain facilities may change if closed office space
is subleased. The Company expects to complete all steps in the restructuring
plan by May 31, 2001.

         The following table shows the initial accruals made by the Company and
the remaining liability as of June 30, 2000:

         As a result of the closings and planned mergers, the Company identified
fixed assets and leasehold improvements that it would retire or abandon. The
carrying value of these retired and abandoned assets has been adjusted to net
realizable value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Opinion
No. 121 and the adjustment has been included as an expense in the second quarter
2000 Income Statement under the caption "Operating Expenses". This adjustment
totaled $343,000 ($202,370 or $0.01 per share net of tax benefit).

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
arrangements. Substantially all services are billed on a time and materials
basis. During the three months ended June 30, 2000, the Company estimates that
supplemental IT services accounted for more than 90% and project outsourcing
accounted for less than 10% of the Company's revenue, although the Company wants
to increase the percentage of project outsourcing it performs.

         Between June 30, 1999 and June 30, 2000, the number of full time
consultants decreased from 2,621 to



                                       11

2,470, 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 focus for revenue growth in 2000 will be derived primarily from
increases in the number of consultants placed with existing and new clients.

         On August 13, 1999, the Company acquired all of the membership and
equity interests of Acuity Technology Services, LLC and Acuity Technology
Services of Dallas, LLC ("ATS" collectively), both of which are information
technology consulting services and personnel staffing businesses located in
Washington D.C., Baltimore, Maryland and Dallas, Texas for a purchase price of
approximately $40,249,000, of which $39,425,000 was paid at closing, $666,000
was paid in November 1999 and approximately $158,000 represents direct costs
related to the acquisition.

         The Company's financial statements do not include the effect of certain
payments the Company may be required to make to ATS if ATS meets certain
predetermined financial results. If ATS achieves certain predetermined financial
results during a twelve-month measurement period, the Company will make an
additional payment, which will be recorded as additional goodwill. The
measurement period is August 31, 2000 for ATS. At present, the Company estimates
the additional payment may be in the range of $9,000,000 to $14,000,000. Once
the additional payment amount is known it will be recorded as goodwill in the
Company's financial statements.

         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.

N/M - Not Meaningful

         THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1999

         REVENUE. Revenue decreased $0.5 million, or 1%, to $77.8 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $78.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999. Excluding the ATS acquisition, revenue decreased $14.0
million or 17.8%. The decline in revenue is a result of a declining consultant
count during the last half of 1999 and the first half of 2000 brought on by the
transition from mainframe to e-Business skilled consultants, slower revenue
growth in existing offices, lower bill rate increases and more non-billable
consultant time as compared with the first half of 1999.

         COST OF REVENUE. Cost of revenue decreased $0.3 million, or 1%, to $55
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $55.3 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue
remained at 70.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the
three months ended June 30, 1999.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit decreased $160,000, or 1%, to $22.8 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $23 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit remained at 29.4%
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the three months ended
June 30, 1999.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $3.2 million, or 24.3%, to $16.7 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $13.4 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to 21.5% for the three months ended June 30,
2000 from 17.2% for the three months ended June 30, 1999. This increase is
primarily due to the Company's sales, marketing and e-Business initiatives and
one-time costs related to the offices closed on May 31, 2000. These one-time
costs total $343,000 and represent a write-down of the value of retired or
abandoned assets to net realizable value in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Opinion No. 121.

         DEPRECIATION EXPENSE. Depreciation expense increased $274,000, or 47%,
to $856,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $582,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. This increase is primarily attributable to




                                       13
<PAGE>

depreciation on additions to computer equipment and software. As a percentage of
revenue, depreciation expense increased 0.4% to 1.1% for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 from 0.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1999.

         AMORTIZATION EXPENSE. Amortization expense increased $571,000 to
$1,167,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $596,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. This increase is attributable to amortization of
goodwill related to the Company's acquisitions completed during 1999. As a
percentage of revenue, amortization expense increased to 1.5% for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 from 0.8% for the three months ended June 30, 1999.

         RESTRUCTURING CHARGE. For the three months ended June 30, 2000, the
Company recorded a restructuring charge of $747,000 related to the office
closings and combinations announced May 31, 2000. The charge represents
management's estimate of the ultimate obligations associated with executing
the plan at the time the estimates were made. The restructuring charge for
costs to exit certain facilities may change if closed office space is
subleased. The Company expects to complete all steps in the restructuring
plan by May 31, 2001.

         OPERATING INCOME. Operating income decreased $5.0 million, or 59.9%, to
$3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $8.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, operating income
decreased to 4.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 10.7% for the
three months ended June 30, 1999. The decline in operating income margin is
result of higher selling, general and administrative expenses, higher
depreciation and amortization expenses, and a one-time restructuring charge of
$747,000.

         INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased by $19,000 or 110.7%, to
$35,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $17,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased by $786,000 or 116.7%, to
$1,460,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $674,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. This change reflects an increase in the average
level of borrowings during the period related to the use of cash to make the ATS
and other 1999 acquisitions.

         INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES. Income before income taxes decreased $5.8
million, or 74.9%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
$7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of
revenue, income before income taxes decreased to 2.5% for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 from 9.9% for the three months ended June 30, 1999.

         INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate increased to 41.0%
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to 40.5% for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. Income taxes decreased $2.3 million or 74.6%, to
$0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $3.1 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, income
taxes decreased to 1.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 4.0%
for the three months ended June 30, 1999. These decreases are a result of the
earnings decline the Company has experienced over the last 12 months.

         NET INCOME. Net income decreased $3.5 million, or 75.1%, to $1.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $4.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, net income decreased to
1.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 5.9% for the three months
ended June 30, 1999.

         EARNINGS PER SHARE. Diluted earnings per share decreased $0.23, or
74.2%, to $0.08 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $0.31 for the
three months ended June 30, 1999.

         SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1999

         REVENUE. Revenue increased $7.2 million, or 4.8%, to $158.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $150.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. Of this increase, 26.1 million is attributable to the
1999 ATS acquisition. Excluding the ATS acquisition revenue decreased $18.9
million or 12.5%. The decline in revenue is a result of a declining
consultant count during the last half of 1999 and the first half of 2000
brought on by the transition from mainframe to e-Business skilled
consultants, slower revenue growth in existing offices, lower bill rate

                                       14

increases and more non-billable consultant time as compared with the first
half of 1999.

         COST OF REVENUE. Cost of revenue increased $5.9 million, or 5.6%, to
$112.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $106.8 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999. Cost of revenue increased primarily due to
compensation and benefits associated with growth in the number of consultants,
including consultants added through acquisitions. As a percentage of revenue,
cost of revenue increased to 71.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from
70.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Cost of revenue rose due to lower
utilization of salaried consultants during the six months ended June 30, 2000.
Salaried consultants are paid even if they are not billing.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $1.3 million, or 2.9%, to $45.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $44.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased
to 28.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 29.2% for the six months
ended June 30, 1999.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $7.3 million, or 27.3%, to $33.9 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $26.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to 21.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 17.7%
for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This increase is primarily due to the
Company's sales, marketing and e-Business initiatives and one-time costs related
to the offices closed on May 31, 2000. These one-time costs total $343,000 and
represent a write-down of the value of retired or abandoned assets to net
realizable value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Opinion
No. 121.

         DEPRECIATION EXPENSE. Depreciation expense increased $538,000, or
48.6%, to $1,643,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $1,105,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1999. This increase is primarily attributable to
depreciation on additions to computer equipment and software. As a percentage of
revenue, depreciation expense increased to 1.1% for the six months ended June
30, 2000 from 0.7% for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

         AMORTIZATION EXPENSE. Amortization expense increased $1,362,000 to
$2,337,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $975,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. This increase is attributable to amortization of
goodwill related to the Company's acquisitions completed during 1999. As a
percentage of revenue, amortization expense increased to 1.5% for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 from 0.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

         RESTRUCTURING CHARGE. For the three months ended June 30, 2000, the
Company has recorded a restructuring charge of $747,000 related to the office
closings and combinations announced May 31, 2000. The charge represents
management's estimate of the ultimate obligations associated with executing
the plan at the time the estimates were made. The restructuring charge for
costs to exit certain facilities may change if closed office space is
subleased. The Company expects to complete all steps in the restructuring
plan by May 31, 2001.

         OPERATING INCOME. Operating income decreased $8.6 million, or 56.4%, to
$6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $15.3 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, operating income
decreased to 4.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 10.2% for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. The decline in operating income margin is result of
higher selling, general and administrative expenses, higher depreciation and
amortization expenses, and a one-time restructuring charge of $747,000.

         INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased by $6,000, or 7.9%, to
$81,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $75,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased by $2.0 million to $2.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $850,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. This change reflects an increase in the average
level of borrowings during the period related to the use of cash to make the
ATS and other 1999 acquisitions.

         INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES. Income before income taxes decreased
$10.6 million, or 73.2%, to $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000 from $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. As a
percentage of revenue, income before income taxes decreased to 2.5% for the
six

                                       15

months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, income before income
taxes decreased to 2.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 9.6% for
the six months ended June 30, 1999.

         INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate was 40.7% for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 40.5% for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Income taxes decreased $4.3 million or 73.3%, to $1.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 from $5.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, income taxes decreased to 1.0% for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 from 3.9% for the six months ended June 30,
1999. These decreases are a result of the earnings decline the Company has
experienced over the last 12 months.

         NET INCOME. Net income decreased $6.3 million, or 73.3%, to $2.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $8.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, net income decreased to
1.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 5.7% for the six months ended
June 30, 1999.

         EARNINGS PER SHARE. Diluted earnings per share decreased $0.43, or
74.1%, to $0.15 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $0.58 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999.

         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


                                       16
<PAGE>

operating results in the first quarter due in part to the timing of unemployment
and FICA tax accruals and delays in clients' contract renewals related to
clients' budget approval processes.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The acquisitions during 1999 caused the Company to incur $82,467,071 in
debt on its credit facilities as of December 31, 1999. For second quarter of
2000, the debt on its credit facilities decreased $2,897,760 to $79,659,311.

         The Company funds its operations primarily from cash generated by
operations. Net cash provided by operations was $6,383,837 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and consisted primarily of net income of $2,311,061 and
accrued compensation and benefits of $1,858,076 offset by increases in accounts
receivable of $1,605,598. The Company had working capital of $46,144,948 at June
30, 2000 compared to $42,047,381 at December 31, 1999.

         Net cash used in investing activities was $8,589,449 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and included the $7,837,164 earnout payment for the 1999
acquisition of DP Specialists. The Company also spent $1,387,446 on normal
acquisitions of property and equipment used in operations.

         The Company maintains credit facilities of $125,000,000. The credit
facilities are provided in equal amounts of $35,000,000 by three banks and
$20,000,000 by a fourth bank. The outstanding balance at June 30, 2000 was
$79,659,311. The facilities mature in June 2005 and may be extended each year
for an additional year. Until June 2005, interest but no principal 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
other two have only LIBOR based interest rates. All of the facilities have
interest rates which increase as the balance outstanding under the
facilities increases. The Company has selected a variety of LIBOR based rates
and the rate on such borrowings ranged from 6.87% to 7.49% as of June 30,
2000. The facilities also contain fees, ranging from 0.125% to 0.380%
annually, which are charged on the unused portion of the facilities. The
facilities are collateralized by accounts receivable of the Company.

       The credit facilities contain 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
other debt, limit the amount borrowed to a multiple of adjusted earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization 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. Quarterly
testing dates are required for these covenants. These covenants may prevent the
Company from borrowing the full amount of the credit facilities or trigger a
default under the credit facilities. At June 30, 2000, approximately $26.8
million was available for additional borrowing without default.

       On March 20, 2000, the Company renegotiated the terms of its line of
credit facilities. The change increased the Maximum Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio
from 3.0 to 1.0 to 4.0 to 1.0 through September 30, 2001 and increased the
Funded Debt to Capitalization ratio to 65% through December 31, 2000 and 60%
through December 31, 2001.

         The Company believes that the available funds under its credit
facilities and cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet its needs for
working capital and capital expenditures through the year 2000. These needs
include the estimated earnout payments of approximately $9,000,000 to
$14,000,000. New acquisitions, however, are likely to require additional debt
and equity financing.

         The Company sold 83,760 shares of stock under the Metro Information
Services, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan for an aggregate purchase price
of $841,442 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 50,000 shares for
$739,768 during the six months ended June 30, 1999.

         During 1999, certain employees exercised stock options which vested on
December 31, 1997, December 31, 1998 and March 18, 1999 pursuant to the 1997
Employee Stock Option Plan. The Company issued 17,400 shares of stock for option
exercises during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 4,850 during the six
months ended June 30,



                                       17
<PAGE>

1999. Total proceeds from the issuance of stock for option exercises were
$283,401 and $77,600, respectively.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

         The Company has not experienced and management is not aware of clients
who have experienced any material Year 2000 problems.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS No. 133"), ACCOUNTING FOR
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. SFAS No. 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.
SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning June
15, 2000. In June 2000, SFAS No. 138, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS AND CERTAIN HEDGING ACTIVITIES, was released as an amendment to SFAS
No. 133. SFAS No. 138 amends and clarifies a limited number of issues in SFAS
No. 133 that have caused application difficulties. The Company does not expect
SFAS No. 133 or SFAS No. 138 to have a material effect on its financial
condition or results of operations.

      In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS. SAB 101 provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and
disclosure of revenue in financial statements. The bulletin does not change
existing rules on revenue recognition. Implementation of SAB 101 was extended by
SAB 101B to the fourth quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1999. The Company does not expect SAB 101 to have a material effect on its
financial condition or results of operations.

      The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has proposed a new
statement that would require all business combinations to be recorded using the
purchase method of accounting and any resulting excess purchase price over the
fair value of acquired net assets would be charged to earnings over a period not
to exceed 20 years. The proposal would also allow the reporting of earnings per
share excluding amortization of goodwill and other intangibles. The proposed
accounting would be effective for business combinations after the effective
date. The actual pronouncement, if issued, will likely have changes from the
exposure draft. If issued, this pronouncement would increase the amortization
charge against earnings for any subsequent business combinations due to the
20-year amortization period requirement. The Company has previously used a
30-year life for goodwill. As a result of these changes, the Company believes
investors may place increasing emphasis on net income before amortization of
purchased intangible assets, net of tax effects, per share.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company has not entered into derivative financial or commodity
instrument transactions. The Company is exposed to market risk due to variable
interest rates on the Company's credit facilities. The Company may enter into
transactions that reduce the interest rate risk. These transactions may be
subject to SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 described above under "Recent
Accounting Pronouncements". The Company's exposure to market risk from other
types of financial instruments, such as accounts receivable and accounts
payable, is not material.
