of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms,

Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all necessary corporate power
and authority to carry on its business as now conducted.  Except as set forth on
SCHEDULE 3.3, each Predecessor Company is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in each other jurisdiction
where the character of its properties owned or held under lease or the nature of
its activities makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that
such failures to so qualify would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Seller.

       3.4    CAPITAL STRUCTURE.  The authorized and issued and outstanding
capital stock of each Predecessor Company is set forth on SCHEDULE 3.4.  All of
the outstanding shares of the Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully

subscription or other rights of any Person to acquire securities of either
Predecessor Company and constitute in the aggregate all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of all classes of such Predecessor Company.  There are
no voting trusts or other Contracts, arrangements or understandings applicable
to the exercise of voting or any other Contract rights with respect to any
shares of the Stock.  Neither Predecessor Company is subject to any obligation
(contingent or otherwise) to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire
any shares of such Predecessor Company's capital stock.  There are no
outstanding rights, warrants, options, subscriptions, agreements or commitments
(other than this Agreement) giving anyone any right to require Seller to sell or
issue any capital stock or other securities of either Predecessor Company.

       3.5    SUBSIDIARIES.  Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 3.5, neither
Predecessor Company has any Subsidiaries and there are no Persons in which
either Predecessor Company owns, or has the right or obligation to acquire, any
direct or indirect equity interest.

       3.6    NO CONFLICT.  Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 3.6, the execution
and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the
transactions described herein will not, result in or constitute a default,
breach or violation of the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws of either
Predecessor Company or any Contract to which the Seller or either Predecessor
Company is a party or by which any Assets are bound, or a violation of any Law
or Judgment of any court or other Governmental Authority or any other
restriction of any kind or character by which the Seller or either Predecessor
Company or any Assets are bound, except, in each case, for such defaults,
breaches, violations, or restrictions as would not have a Material Adverse
Effect with respect to either Predecessor Company.

       3.7    CONSENTS.   Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 3.7 annexed hereto,
the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller does not, and the
performance of this Agreement by Seller will not, require any Consent, except
where failure to obtain such Consent would not have a Material Adverse Effect

any third party any confidential or proprietary information about the
transaction contemplated hereby, except as may be required by applicable Law.
 The parties hereto agree that the remedy at law for any breach of the

consolidation, business combination, sale of substantial securities or assets,
liquidation, dissolution or similar transactions involving either Predecessor
Company, or (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations

reasonable efforts and shall fully cooperate with the other party to make
promptly all registrations, filings and applications, give all notices and
obtain all governmental and third party consents, permits, approvals, orders,

       (a)    The parties hereto each agree to give prompt notice to the other

any and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, Judgments, costs,
costs of collection and legal and other expenses incident to any of the
foregoing (collectively, "PURCHASER DAMAGES"), provided, however, that the
aggregate amount of Seller's obligations with respect to such indemnification
shall not exceed an amount equal to 10% of the Cash Purchase Price, and all
claims for indemnification must exceed an aggregate amount equal to 1% of the
Cash Purchase Price before any indemnification obligation is triggered.

       (b)    The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller
from and after the Closing against (i) any and all damage, loss, claim, expense,
deficiency or cost resulting from the breach by the Purchaser of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by the Purchaser hereunder (regardless
of whether the Seller knew of such breach at the time of the Closing), (ii) any
and all damage, loss, claim, expense, deficiency or cost resulting from the
Purchaser's failure to perform under or Purchaser's breach of, any of the

be net of any insurance payment or recovery which such party or its
representatives actually realizes in respect of or as a result of such Damages
or the facts or circumstances relating thereto. If any Damages for which
indemnification is provided hereunder are subsequently reduced by any such
insurance payment or other recovery from a third party, the amount of such
reduction shall be remitted to the indemnifying party. If, after the Closing,
either party realizes any Damages for which it is indemnified by the other party
hereunder, such indemnified party shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain the
maximum recovery or other benefit reasonably believed by it to be available to
it under any applicable insurance policy. An indemnified party shall furnish to

                               SEQUOIA ACQUISITION
                ADDS LEADING EDGE EBUSINESS SERVICES CAPABILITIES


MINNEAPOLIS - April 26, 2000 - Analysts International Corporation (Nasdaq: ANLY)
today announced that it has completed the acquisition of 80.1 percent of
Sequoia, an Auburn Hills, Mich.-based Internet professional services
organization, for $43.5 million in cash. Sequoia provides strategic eBusiness
solutions and represents a significant step in Analysts International's strategy
to be the preferred partner for companies seeking to design and build effective
eBusiness operations.

Sequoia, which had 1999 revenues of $57 million, provides a unique network
business model and extended eBusiness service capabilities to Analysts
International. Sequoia has key relationships with Microsoft, Dell, Cisco, and
was Microsoft's Worldwide Partner of the Year in 1998. Sequoia is highly
regarded for its design, installation and maintenance of eCommerce
infrastructures and complements Analysts International's business-to-business
back-office integration services.

Sequoia will operate as a separate subsidiary and the current management team
will retain the remaining 19.9 percent interest in the company and continue in
their current roles. John Bamberger, 44, CEO of Sequoia, also will assume the
title of vice president of Analysts International and will report to Mike
LaVelle, president of Analysts International. Bamberger was selected by Ernst &
Young as the Michigan Entrepreneur of the Year in 1999.

"With Sequoia now a key operating unit, we have achieved a significant milestone
in our strategy to lead the design, building and delivery of eBusiness
solutions. In addition, we expect the acquisition will be bottom-



line accretive in our next fiscal year, which starts July 1," said Frederick
W. Lang, chairman and CEO of Analysts International.

"This is a very exciting day for everyone at Sequoia," said Bamberger. "We now
have enormous reach and leverage through Analysts International's network and
practice groups. And we intend to contribute significantly to the company's
eBusiness service capabilities and to the overall growth in eBusiness customers
throughout the U.S., Canada and the U.K."

Operating from 45 offices, Analysts International consultants will work with
Sequoia to effectively service large, national or multi-national customers.
Customers now can turn to Analysts International for eBusiness/eCommerce
strategies, design, implementation and maintenance.
