The accompanying notes are an integral part of the condensed consolidated financial statements. 5 DA CONSULTING GROUP, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DA Consulting Group, Inc. ("DACG(TM)" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is an international provider of employee education and software solutions to companies investing in business information technology. Through its offices in six countries, DACG delivers customized services for documentation and training necessary for implementation of extended enterprise software applications; technical and non-technical employee education and continuous learning programs; e-Learning applications such as computer-based-training; learning management systems; and consulting on human resource management, change management and change communications. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DACG and all wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company without an audit 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results which will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2003. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information included herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146), which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 146 for restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of a company's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amount recognized. Adoption of SFAS 146 in the first quarter of 2003 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure (SFAS 148), which amended SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123). The new standard provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Additionally, the statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in the annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. In compliance with SFAS 148, DACG has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangement as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employee, and has made the applicable disclosures in note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. 6 3) LIQUIDITY, GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENTS PLANS Significant losses were incurred for fiscal years 1999 through 2002. The Company incurred significant losses in the quarter ending March 31, 2003 and revenue expectations in the second quarter of 2003 have been short of expectations due to a large project cancellation following the sale of a customer' business and the continued difficult technology market. The Company is in negotiations to merge with another company. In the event the merger is not completed, another source of financing will be required for the Company to continue its operations. Current financing is not adequate to continue as a going concern. Continued losses and the uncertainty of the Company's ability to raise additional capital raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. To the extent the merger is not completed, the cash generated from the line of credit, receivables based financing, and continued operations are insufficient to meet the Company's current working capital needs, the Company will have to raise additional capital. No assurance can be given that additional funding will be available or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. Uncertainty regarding the amount and timing of any proceeds from the Company's plans to raise additional capital raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. During the second quarter of 2003 the Company has not been able to maintain compliance with its Europe based financing agreement on a consistent basis. At May 16, 2003 the Company had borrowed $785,000 against the credit facility and had $1,150,000 in collateralized receivables. The agreement requires collateralization of 200% of receivables or $1,570,000. The Company is requesting a waiver until the merger can be completed. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain a waiver or additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. At May 16, 2003 the Company had sold $0.4 million U. S. accounts receivables under a receivable based financing agreement representing all eligible U. S. accounts receivable. (4) INCOME TAXES At March 31, 2003 the Company had $11.6 million of net deferred tax assets primarily consisting of net operating loss carryforwards. The benefit from utilization of net operating loss carryforwards could be subject to limitations if significant ownership changes occur in the Company. The Company's ability to realize the entire benefit of its deferred tax asset requires that the Company achieve certain future earnings levels prior to the expiration of its net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has recorded a $11.6 million valuation allowance against deferred tax assets resulting in a net carrying value of zero. (5) DEBT Revolving Line of Credit The Company has a credit facility from a foreign bank with an available line of approximately $1.2 million (750,000 Great Britain Pounds), collateralized by and based on eligible foreign accounts receivable, secured by a mortgage deed against all the assets of the Europe Division and guaranteed by the Company. At March 31, 2003, the Company had used $0.8 million of the credit facility. The interest rate on this line of credit was 5.75% at March 31, 2003. The line of credit is available through March 2004, however, the line of credit is due upon demand. During the second quarter of 2003 the Company has not been able to maintain compliance with its Europe based financing agreement on a consistent basis. At May 16, 2003 the Company had borrowed $785,000 against the credit facility and had $1,150,000 in collateralized receivables. The agreement requires collateralized receivables in the amount of $1,570,000. The Company is not in compliance with this credit facility at May 20, 2003. The Company is requesting a waiver. Accounts Receivable Financing 7 The Company has an agreement with a bank, which provides for financing of eligible U.S. accounts receivable under a purchase and sale agreement. The maximum funds available under the agreement is $2.5 million. The agreement allows for the bank to request repurchase of an account receivable under certain conditions. The bank has never requested repurchase of an account receivable. At March 31, 2003, the Company had sold $0.4 million accounts receivable pursuant to this agreement. At May 16, 2003 the Company had sold $0.4 million U. S. accounts receivables under a receivable based financing agreement representing all eligible U. S. accounts receivable. (6) LEASE LIABILITIES The Company has recorded liabilities related to losses on leases abandoned and termination liabilities on leases requiring the leased property be returned to its original condition. During the three months ended March 31, 2003 payments charged to the reserve totaled $0.1 million and the reserve was reduced by $0.1 million resulting in a reduction of general and administrative expenses. The balance remaining at March 31, 2003 was $0.9 million of which $0.2 million is recorded as long-term debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2002 payments against the reserve totaled $0.2 million and no adjustments of the reserve were recorded. (7) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of two components: net income (loss) and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments from international subsidiaries that under generally accepted accounting principles are recorded as an element of shareholders' equity and are excluded from net income (loss). The components of comprehensive income (loss) are listed below (in thousands):

(8) EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share includes the number of shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, less the number of shares that could have been repurchased with the exercise proceeds, using the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes the Company's computation of earnings (loss) per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

8 Approximately 1,883,000 antidilutive options and 3,000,000 antidilutive warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Approximately 463,000 antidilutive options and 3,000,000 antidilutive warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2002. (9) PRO FORMA NET LOSS AND EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Had the compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plan been determined consistent with SFAS 123, the Company's net loss per share at March 31, 2003 and 2002 approximate the pro forma amounts below (in thousands, except per share amounts):

DA CONSULTING GROUP, INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW 9 The Company is an international provider of education for employees of companies which are implementing business information technology. The Company provides customized change communications, education and performance support services designed to maximize its clients' returns on their substantial investments in business information technology. Recognizing the global nature of its existing and prospective client base, the Company has built a substantial international presence. The Company is currently organized into three divisions: the Americas Division; the EMEA Division, which includes Europe; and the Asia Pacific Division, which includes its Australia operations. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amount and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets which management considers more likely than not will fail to be realized. For the fiscal years 1999 through 2002 the Company incurred significant losses before income taxes. The Company incurred additional significant losses for the first quarter of 2003. At March 31, 2003, the Company had generated net operating loss carryforwards for tax reporting purposes of approximately $33.6 million recording $12.2 million of deferred tax assets of which the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $12.2 million resulting no deferred tax assets from net operating loss carryover net of the allowance based upon management's estimate of future taxable income, against the deferred tax asset generated from the net operating loss carryforwards. Long-lived Assets Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets which considers the discounted future net cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs of disposal. Revenue Recognition The majority of the Company's contracts with clients are based on time and expenses incurred with the remainder of the revenue generated from fixed price contracts. Accordingly, service revenue under both types of contracts is recognized as services are performed and the realization of the revenue is assured. Contract costs include direct labor costs and reimbursable expenses, and those indirect costs related to contract performance such as indirect labor. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Unbilled revenue represents the revenue earned in excess of amounts billed and deferred income represents billings in excess of revenue earned. Revenue includes reimbursable expenses directly incurred in providing services to clients. The Company recognizes product revenue upon shipment to the client if no further services are required. Accounting for Stock Options In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), which sets forth accounting and disclosure requirements for stock option and other 10 stock-based compensation plans. The statement encourages, but does not require, companies to record stock-based compensation expense using a fair-value method, rather than the intrinsic-value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25. The Company has adopted only the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 and has elected to continue to record stock-based compensation expense using the intrinsic-value approach prescribed by APB No. 25. Accordingly, the Company computes compensation cost as the amount by which the intrinsic value of the Company's common stock exceeds the exercise price on the date of grant. The amount of compensation cost, if any, is charged to income over the vesting period. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for substantial renewals and betterments are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Assets are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for tax purposes over their estimated useful lives. Computer equipment is depreciated over a useful life of three to five years. Furniture is depreciated over a seven year useful life. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease. In 1999 the Company capitalized $3.3 million in implementation costs related to the Company's primary information system. Purchased software and internal software development costs related to the Company's primary information system are amortized over a seven year period. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 Revenue. Revenue decreased by $2 million, or 29.5%, from $6.9 million in the first quarter of 2002 to $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2003, reflecting decreases in Europe and Asia and an increase in America. Product sales decreased from $0.5 million in 2002 to $0.1 million in 2003. Revenue from the Americas Division increased by 84.6% from $0.7 million to $1.3 million; revenue from the EMEA Division decreased by 53.2% from $4.5 million to $2.1 million; and revenue from the Asia Pacific Division decreased by 15.2% from $1.7 million to $1.5 million. The Company ended the first quarter with 220 total employees, down from 258 employees at the end of the same period of the prior year. Billable headcount has decreased 18% compared to the first quarter of 2002. Revenue for the first quarter of 2003 was 11.0% less than revenue in the fourth quarter of 2002. Gross profit. Gross profit decreased by $1.6 million, or 52.0%, from $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2002 to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2003 and decreased as a percent of revenue from 45.3% in the first quarter of 2002 to 30.9% in the first quarter of 2003. The decrease in the gross profit margin percentage is primarily attributable to decreased staff utilization, bill rates and reduced recovery of travel costs offset partially by a increase in margin on product sales. Selling and marketing expense. Selling and marketing expense increased $52,000 or 9.0%, from $578,000 in the first quarter of 2002 to $630,000 in the first quarter of 2003. The increase is the result of purchased services. The Company had 22 sales and marketing personnel in the first quarter of 2002 and the first quarter of 2003. Development expense. Development expense decreased $16,000, or 35.6%, from $45,000 in the first quarter of 2002 to $29,000 in the first quarter of 2003 reflecting reduced spending on new tools. General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense decreased by $0.4 million, or 18.4%, from $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2002 to $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2003. The decrease in expense is due primarily to a reduction in incentive pay, facilities and depreciation. Depreciation expense included in general and administrative costs decreased from $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2002 to $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2003. Facilities expense was reduced by $0.2 million due to a reduction in reserve requirements on abandoned facilities. General and administrative personnel total 28 at the end of the first quarter of 2003 compared to 31 at the end of the first quarter of 2002. Operating income (loss). Operating income decreased by $1.3 million from an operating income of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2002 to an operating loss of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2003. The increase in operating 11 loss resulted from a decline in revenue partially offset by reduced operating expenses. The operating loss also increased by $0.2 million compared to $0.7 million loss in the fourth quarter of 2002. Provision (benefit) for income taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 114% in the first quarter of 2003 compared to 73.2% in the first quarter of 2002. The tax rate in the first quarter of 2003 was due to the Company's reserve of all deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards. 12 At March 31, 2003, the Company had $11.6 million of deferred tax assets primarily consisting of net operating loss carryforwards. The benefit from utilization of net operating loss carryforwards could be subject to limitations if significant ownership changes occur in the Company. The Company has recorded a $11.6 million valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. Net income (loss). The Company's net income decreased by $2.1 million from a net income of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2002 to a net loss of $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2003 for reasons discussed above. Income per share decreased from income per share of $0.01 in the first quarter of 2002 to loss per share of $0.24 in the first quarter of 2003. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since its inception, the Company has historically financed its operations and growth with cash flows from the sale of common stock, operations, short-term borrowings under revolving line of credit arrangements and receivables-based financing. The Company's cash and cash equivalents were $0.3 million at March 31, 2003, compared to $0.6 million at December 31, 2002. The Company's working capital deficit was $2.2 million at March 31, 2003 and $1.3 million at December 31, 2002. The Company's operating activities provided cash of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to cash provided of $0.3 million for the same period in 2002. The decrease in cash provided by operations resulted primarily from operating losses offset partially by an increase in accounts receivable. Investing activities required $12,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2003 for equipment purchases, compared to no cash requirement for the first quarter in 2002. The Company anticipates the need to lease or acquire small amounts of computer equipment throughout 2003. Financing activities used cash of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to pay down its line of credit compared to cash used of $0.4 million to pay down its line of credit for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The Company has a revolving line of credit from a foreign bank with a maximum line of credit of approximately $1.2 million based on eligible foreign accounts receivable. At March 31, 2003, the Company had borrowed $0.8 million against this line. The Company has an agreement with a bank, which provides for financing of eligible U.S. accounts receivable under a purchase and sale agreement. The maximum funds available under this agreement is $2.5 million. At March 31, 2003, the Company had sold $0.4 million receivables pursuant to this agreement. Significant losses were incurred for fiscal years 1999 through 2002. The Company incurred significant losses in the quarter ending March 31, 2003 and revenue expectations in the second quarter of 2003 have been short of expectations due to a large project cancellation following the sale of a customer' business and the continued difficult technology market. The Company is in negotiations to merge with another company. In the event the merger is not completed, another source of financing will be required for the Company to continue its operations. Current financing is not adequate to continue as a going concern. Continued losses and the uncertainty of the Company's ability to raise additional capital raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. To the extent the merger is not completed, the cash generated from the line of credit, receivables based financing, and continued operations are insufficient to meet the Company's current working capital needs, the Company will have to raise additional capital. No assurance can be given that additional funding will be available or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. Uncertainty regarding the amount and timing of any proceeds from the Company's plans to raise additional capital raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments 13 relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. During the second quarter of 2003 the Company has not been able to maintain compliance with its Europe based financing agreement on a consistent basis. At May 16, 2003 the Company had borrowed $785,000 against the credit facility and had $1,150,000 in collateralized receivables. The agreement requires collateralization of 200% of receivables or $1,570,000. The Company is requesting a waiver until the merger can be completed. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain a waiver or additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. At May 16, 2003 the Company had sold $0.4 million U. S. accounts receivables under a receivable based financing agreement representing all eligible U. S. accounts receivable.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company from time to time holds short-term investments which consist of variable rate municipal debt instruments. The Company uses a sensitivity analysis technique to evaluate the hypothetical effect that changes in market interest rates may have on the fair value of the Company's investments. At March 31, 2003, the Company did not hold any short-term investments. Currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Singapore dollar, and the Australian dollar have an impact on revenue and expenses of the Company's international operations. Dramatic fluctuations could have a negative affect upon the Company's financial condition. ITEM 4.
