COMPUTER TASK GROUP, INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect, in
the opinion of the management of Computer Task Group, Incorporated ("CTG" or
"the Company"), all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the
condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented.

2. Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the
Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules
and regulations. Management believes that the information and disclosures
provided herein are adequate to present fairly the consolidated financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. It is suggested
that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

3. Comprehensive Income

Accumulated other comprehensive income totaled $(7,091,000) and
$(7,867,000) at September 27, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Total
comprehensive (loss) for the three quarters ended September 27, 2002 and
September 28, 2001 totaled $(35,001,000) and $(2,858,000), respectively. Total
comprehensive income for the quarters ended September 27, 2002 and September 28,
2001 was $618,000 and $1,173,000, respectively.

4. Accounting Standards Pronouncements

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations," and FAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." These standards make
significant changes to the accounting for business combinations, goodwill, and
intangible assets. FAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting for business combinations with limited exceptions for combinations
initiated prior to July 1, 2001. In addition, it clarifies the criteria for
recognition of intangible assets apart from goodwill. This statement is
effective for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001.

FAS No. 142 discontinues the practice of amortizing goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets and initiates a review, at least annually,
for impairment. Intangible assets with a determinable useful life will continue
to be amortized over their useful lives. FAS No. 142 applies to existing
goodwill and intangible assets, and such assets acquired after June 30, 2001.
FAS No. 142 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
Accordingly, the Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2002, and no
longer amortizes its existing goodwill after that date.




5




In conjunction with the adoption of FAS No. 142, the initial valuation of
the business unit for which the Company's goodwill relates was completed by an
independent appraisal company. Such valuation indicated that the carrying value
of the business unit was greater than the determined fair value. The goodwill on
the Company's balance sheet primarily relates to the acquisition in February
1999 of the healthcare information technology services provider Elumen
Solutions, Inc. Although the revenues and profits for this unit dipped in 2000
and 2001, in 2002 the revenues and profits for that unit are similar to when
the acquisition was completed in 1999. However, the valuation of technology
companies in 1999 was relatively high as compared to the valuations at the
beginning of 2002. Accordingly, as a result of the independent appraisal based
upon the fair market values of similar companies and the subsequent independent
valuation of the implied goodwill which was completed during the third quarter
of 2002, the Company recorded a $37.0 million non-cash charge for impairment of
goodwill in that business unit in the Company's year-to-date financial results.
There was no tax associated with this impairment as the amortization of this
goodwill was not deductible for tax purposes.

The effect of the amortization of the Company's existing goodwill on net
income (loss), and basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the
quarters and three quarters ended September 27, 2002 and September 28, 2001,
respectively, is as follows:



For the quarter ended
Sept. 27, Sept. 28,
2002 2001
---------- --------

NET INCOME:
Reported net income $ 141 $ 182
Goodwill amortization - 993
--------- ---------
Adjusted net income $ 141 $ 1,175
========= =========

BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE:
Reported basic and diluted net income per share $ 0.01 $ 0.01
Goodwill amortization - 0.06
--------- ---------
Adjusted basic and diluted net income per share $ 0.01 $ 0.07
========= =========






For the three quarters ended
Sept. 27, Sept. 28,
2002 2001
--------- --------

NET INCOME (LOSS):
Reported net loss $ (35,777) $ (2,555)
Goodwill amortization - 2,981
--------- ---------
Adjusted net income (loss) $ (35,777) $ 426
========== =========

BASIC NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:
Reported basic net loss per share $ (2.16) $ (0.16)
Goodwill amortization - 0.19
--------- ---------
Adjusted basic net income (loss) per share $ (2.16) $ 0.03
========= =========

DILUTED NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:
Reported diluted net loss per share $ (2.11) $ (0.16)
Goodwill amortization - 0.19
--------- ---------
Adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share $ (2.11) $ 0.03
========= =========



Included in the net loss for the three quarters ended September 27, 2002 is
the charge for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle
related to the adoption of FAS No. 142 of $37.0 million, or $2.24 per basic
share and $2.19 per diluted share. Without this charge, reported net income
in 2002 was $1.3 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share.




6





In August 2001, the FASB issued FAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses the accounting and reporting
for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The Company adopted this
standard effective January 1, 2002. During the first quarter of 2002, the
Company began to actively market one of its owned properties for sale, and has
classified this property as held for sale on its condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of September 27, 2002. During the 2002 third quarter, the Company made
an adjustment of approximately $0.1 million to the carrying value of this asset
in order to write-down the property's value to the anticipated net fair value.

During the 2002 first quarter, based upon new interpretive guidance issued
for the accounting for billable expenses under Emerging Issues Task Force issue
No. D-103, "Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for
Out-of-Pocket Expenses Incurred," the Company began to record its billable
expenses on a gross basis as both revenue and direct costs, rather than on a net
basis. Such costs totaled $1.6 million and $2.0 million in the third quarter of
2002 and 2001, respectively, and $5.4 million and $6.4 million in the
year-to-date periods for 2002 and 2001, respectively. The 2001 revenue and
direct cost balances on the condensed consolidated statement of operations have
been restated by these amounts from that which was previously reported.

CTG's third quarter 2002 revenue was $62.1 million, a decrease of 19.5
percent when compared to third quarter 2001 revenue of $77.1 million, while 2002
year-to-date revenues were $199.7 million, a decrease of 19.5 percent from 2001
year-to-date revenues of $248.0 million. The year-over-year revenue decrease is
a result of the ongoing recession in the technology sector which has had a
significant negative effect on customer spending for information technology
services. North American revenue decreased by $39.2 million or 18.5 percent in
the year-to-date 2002 period as compared to 2001, while revenue from European
operations decreased by $9.1 million, or 25.0 percent. The European decrease is
also due to a general economic slowdown in the countries in which the Company
operates.

The 2001 to 2002 year-to-date revenue decline was slightly offset by the
weakening of the U.S. dollar as compared to the currencies of the Netherlands,
Belgium, the United Kingdom, and Luxembourg. If there had been no change in
these foreign currency exchange rates from 2001 to 2002, total consolidated
revenues would have been $1.2 million lower.

In November 2000, the Company signed a contract with IBM for three years as
one of IBM's national technical service providers for the United States. In the
third quarter of 2002, IBM continued to be the Company's largest customer,
accounting for $12.2 million or 19.6 percent of total revenue as compared to
$17.3 million or 22.4 percent of third quarter 2001 revenue. For the 2002
year-to-date period, revenues from IBM were $38.9 million or 19.5 percent of
consolidated revenue, as compared to $63.7 million or 25.7 percent of
consolidated 2001 revenues. Although revenues from IBM have been constrained in
2002, the Company expects to continue to derive a significant portion of its
revenue from IBM throughout the remainder of 2002 and in future years. While the
decline in revenue from IBM has had a negative effect on the Company's revenues
and profits, the Company believes a simultaneous loss of all IBM business is
unlikely to occur due to the diversity of the projects performed for IBM and the
number of locations and divisions involved.

Direct costs, defined as costs for billable staff including billable
out-of-pocket expenses, were 72.8 percent of revenue in the third quarter of
2002 as compared to 71.0 percent of third quarter 2001 revenue, and 72.3 percent
of 2002 year-to-date revenue as compared to 71.5 percent of 2001 year-to-date
revenue. The increase in direct costs as a percentage of revenue in 2002 as
compared to 2001 is primarily due to the recession mentioned above which has
negatively affected the rates at which the Company bills customers for its
services.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were 26.4 percent of
revenue in the third quarter of 2002 as compared to 27.6 percent of revenue in
the third quarter of 2001, and 25.9 percent in the 2002 year-to-date period as
compared to 28.8 percent in the 2001 year-to-date period. During 2002, due to
the adoption of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 142, the Company
discontinued the amortization of its existing goodwill. In the 2001 third
quarter and year-to-date period, such amortization totaled approximately $1.0
million and $3.0 million, respectively. If such amortization expense was
excluded from the 2001 balances, SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue would
have been 26.3 percent in the 2001 third quarter, and 27.5 percent in the 2001
year-to-date period. The decline in SG&A expense year-over-year is due to the
Company continuing to align its cost structure to the current level of revenue.

Operating income was 0.8 percent of revenue in the 2002 third quarter as
compared to 1.4 percent of revenue in the 2001 third quarter, and 1.8 percent in
the 2002 year-to-date period as compared to an operating loss of (0.3) percent
in the 2001 year-to-date period. Without the amortization expense in 2001,
operating income would have been 2.7 percent in the third quarter, and 0.9
percent in the year-to-date period. Operating income from North American
operations was $1.8 million and $7.3 million in the 2002 third quarter and
year-to-date period, respectively, while European operations recorded an
operating loss of $1.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively, in such periods.

Interest and other expense, net was 0.8 percent of revenue in the 2002
year-to-date period and 1.2 percent in the corresponding 2001 period. The
decrease as a percentage of revenue from 2001 to 2002 is primarily due to lower
average outstanding indebtedness balances and lower interest rates. The
provision (benefit) for income taxes was 39.5 percent in the 2002 year-to-date
period and (30.1) percent in the corresponding 2001 period. The provision
(benefit) rate in each year is calculated based upon the estimated tax rate
(benefit) for the entire year.

Net income for the third quarter of 2002 was 0.2 percent of revenue or
$0.01 per diluted share, compared to 0.2 percent of revenue or $0.01 per diluted
share in 2001. Net income before the cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle for the 2002 year-to-date period was 0.6 percent of revenue or $0.08
per diluted share, compared to a loss of (1.0) percent of revenue or $(0.16) per
diluted share in 2001. Without the amortization expense, net income in the 2001
third quarter would have been 1.5 percent of revenue or $0.07 per diluted share
and in the 2001 year-to-date period would have been 0.2 percent of revenue or
$0.03 per diluted share. Diluted earnings per share were calculated using 16.9
million and 16.4 million equivalent shares outstanding in 2002 and 2001,
respectively. The increase in equivalent shares outstanding in 2002 is due to
additional weighted average shares outstanding in 2002.

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations," and FAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." These standards make
significant changes to the accounting for business combinations, goodwill, and
intangible assets. FAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting for business combinations with limited exceptions for combinations
initiated prior to July 1, 2001. In addition, it clarifies the criteria for
recognition of intangible assets apart from goodwill. This statement is
effective for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001.

FAS No. 142 discontinues the practice of amortizing goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets and initiates a review, at least annually,
for impairment. Intangible assets with a determinable useful life will continue
to be amortized over their useful lives. FAS No. 142 applies to existing
goodwill and intangible assets, and such assets acquired after June 30, 2001.
FAS No. 142 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
Accordingly, the Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2002, and no
longer amortizes its existing goodwill after that date.



10





In conjunction with the adoption of FAS No. 142, the initial valuation of
the business unit for which the Company's goodwill relates was completed by an
independent appraisal company. Such valuation indicated that the carrying
value of the business unit was greater than the determined fair value.
The goodwill on the Company's balance sheet primarily relates to the acquisition
in February 1999 of the healthcare information technology services provider
Elumen Solutions, Inc. Although the revenues and profits for this unit dipped in
2000 and 2001, in 2002 the revenues and profits for that unit are similar to
when the acquisition was completed in 1999. However, the valuation of technology
company's in 1999 was relatively high as compared to the valuations at the
beginning of 2002. Accordingly, as a result of the independent appraisal based
upon the fair market values of similar companies and the subsequent independent
valuation of the implied goodwill which was completed during the third quarter
of 2002, the Company recorded a $37.0 million non-cash charge for impairment of
goodwill in that business unit in the Company's year-to-date financial results.
There was no tax associated with this impairment as the amortization of this
goodwill was not deductible for tax purposes.

In August 2001, the FASB issued FAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses the accounting and reporting
for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The Company adopted this
standard effective January 1, 2002. During the first quarter of 2002, the
Company began to actively market one of its owned properties for sale, and has
classified this property as held for sale on its condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of September 27, 2002. During the 2002 third quarter, the Company made
an adjustment of approximately $0.1 million to the carrying value of this asset
in order to write-down the property's value to the anticipated net fair value.

During the first quarter of 2002, based upon new interpretive guidance
issued for the accounting for billable expenses under Emerging Issues Task Force
issue No. D-103, "Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received
for Out-of-Pocket Expenses Incurred," the Company began to record its billable
expenses on a gross basis as both revenue and direct costs, rather than on a net
basis. Such costs totaled $1.6 million and $2.0 million in the third quarter of
2002 and 2001, respectively, and $5.4 million and $6.4 million in the
year-to-date periods for 2002 and 2001, respectively. The 2001 revenue and
direct cost balances on the condensed consolidated statement of operations have
been restated by these amounts from that which was previously reported.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The SEC issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, "Cautionary Advice
Regarding Disclosure of Critical Accounting Policies" (FR No. 60) in December
2001 which requires companies to disclose those accounting policies that include
estimates which could be of a critical nature. In evaluating FR No. 60, CTG has
determined that its sole critical accounting estimates involve the valuation of
its existing goodwill balance. As previously discussed, FAS No. 142 discontinued
the practice of amortizing goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and
initiated a review, at least annually, for impairment. With the adoption of FAS
No. 142 in 2002, CTG recorded a charge of $37.0 million representing the
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle. Going forward, the
remaining goodwill balance will be evaluated annually or more frequently if
facts and circumstances indicate impairment may exist. These evaluations will be
based on estimates and assumptions which analyze the appraised value of similar
transactions from which the goodwill arose; the appraised value of similar
companies, and estimates of future discounted cash flows. The estimates and
assumptions on which the Company's evaluations are based necessarily involve
judgements and are based on currently available information, any of which could
prove wrong or inaccurate when made, or become wrong or inaccurate as a result
of subsequent events. Changes in future evaluations could lead to additional
impairment charges.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash provided by operating activities was $0.7 million through the first
three quarters of 2002. Net loss totaled $(35.8) million, while the non-cash
adjustment for the change in accounting principle totaled $37.0 million, and
other non-cash adjustments primarily consisting of depreciation expense and
deferred income taxes totaled $3.6 million. Accounts receivable decreased by
$5.7 million as compared to December 31, 2001 due to the timing of the
collection of outstanding balances in the third quarter of 2002. Accounts
payable decreased $2.5 million and other current liabilities decreased $1.3
million primarily due to the timing of certain payments. Accrued compensation
decreased $7.6 million due to the timing of the US bi-weekly payroll, and fewer
total employees. Income taxes payable increased $2.0 million due to the Company
having taxable income in the 2002 year-to-date period as compared to a
significant loss in the corresponding 2001 period.

Net property and equipment and property held for sale decreased $1.3
million. Additions to property and equipment were $1.6 million, offset by
depreciation expense of $2.8 million, and foreign currency translation
adjustments of $0.1 million. The Company has no material commitments for capital
expenditures at September 27, 2002.

Financing activities used $2.0 million of cash through the first three
quarters of 2002. Net payments on long-term revolving debt totaled $2.3 million,
and the Company received $0.3 million from employees for stock purchased under
the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

The Company is authorized to repurchase a total of 3.4 million shares of
its common stock for treasury and the Company's stock trusts. At September 27,
2002, approximately 3.2 million shares have been repurchased under the
authorizations, leaving 0.2 million shares authorized for future purchases. No
share purchases have been made in 2002.

The Company believes existing internally available funds, cash potentially
generated by operations, and available borrowings under the Company's revolving
line of credit will be sufficient to meet foreseeable working capital, capital
expenditure, and possible stock repurchase requirements, and to allow for future
internal growth and expansion.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is nominally exposed to market risk in the normal course of its
business operations. The Company has $13.0 million of borrowings at September
27, 2002 under a revolving credit agreement, which expose the Company to risk of
earnings or cash flow loss due to changes in market interest rates.
Additionally, as the Company sells its services in North America and in Europe,
financial results could be affected by weak economic conditions in those
markets.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based upon an evaluation completed within 90 days prior to the filing of
this report with the SEC, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective for gathering and disclosing information as required
for reports filed under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. There have been
no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of this
evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.
