See Accompanying Notes. 6 FORENSIC TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 1997 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1997. On September 30, 1996 the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Teklicon, Inc. ("Teklicon") in exchange for 415,000 shares of common stock. The acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the Company's financial statements have been restated for all periods prior to the merger to include the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Teklicon. The accompanying consolidated statements of operations, and cash flows for the three month period ending March 31, 1996 have been restated to reflect the acquisition of Teklicon. 2.

The exercise prices of the shares granted range from $6.00 to $9.50 per share, at or above the estimated fair market value of a share of Class A Common Stock at the date of grant, and the options vest ratably over a three year period. 7 FORENSIC TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 1997 (CONTINUED) 3.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. The impact of Statement 128 on the calculation of earnings per share is not expected to be material. 8 FORENSIC TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION Revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 1997, increased 37.0%, to $9.5 million compared to the same period in 1996. This increase is primarily the result of revenues from visual communication services growing 96.6% to $4.7 million during the quarter, attributable to three factors: a resumption of casework following the December 1996, holiday hiatus; a historically high level of active trials during the period; and, the particular success of an integrated approach to the marketing of the Company's services. Trial consulting increased 5.1% during the quarter, due to continued demand for these services during the period; engineering revenues grew 5.6%, attributable to increased sales by Teklicon, while other engineering services were generally flat compared to 1996. Direct costs, as a percentage of revenue, were approximately the same during the first quarter of 1997 and 1996, as a result of managing the mix of internal and external resources to meet the demands for the Company's services. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percent of revenue as the fixed and semi-variable costs continued to benefit from larger increases in revenues. Interest expense decreased in the quarter due to no usage on the line of credit during 1997; borrowings under the line of credit during 1996 were repaid from funds received from the sale of Common Stock in May, 1996. Unused funds from such sale have been invested to increase interest income subsequent to May, 1996. Cash flow provided by operations during the quarter, were offset by additional investments in office facilities and computer equipment. These investments assist the Company in providing enhanced services to its clients. The net decrease in cash was funded by the remaining balance of the net proceeds from the sale of the Company's stock in May, 1996. Such balance, approximately $5.7 million, will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including possible acquisitions.
