Recent Acquisitions.

Item 2.  
         

     On September 30, 1996, Cotelligent Group, Inc. (the "Company") completed
the acquisition of one business with offices in two cities. The business is a
software professional services firm which provides computer consulting and
contract programming services. The acquired company, with operations in
Cleveland and Ft. Lauderdale, had unaudited revenues of approximately $8.7
million and unaudited income before taxes of approximately $.35 million for the
year ended December 31, 1995. Aggregate consideration for this acquisition was
approximately $8.7 million. This acquisition will be accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests.

     In order to consummate this acquisition, the Company entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger dated as of September 30, 1996,
with JasTech, Inc. and JasTech of Florida, Inc. (collectively "JasTech") and the
sole stockholder of JasTech, Judi Jaskiel, pursuant to which a newly-formed
subsidiary of the Company was merged with JasTech, with JasTech thereby becoming
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The stockholder of JasTech received
644,826 newly issued shares of the Company's Common Stock (valued at the average
closing price during a ten day period prior to the closing) as consideration in
the merger, which was consummated on September 30, 1996.

Item 5. 

     On October 7, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of Data
Processing Professionals, Inc. ("DPPI"). DPPI is a software professional
services firm which provides computer consulting and contract programming
services from its office in St. Louis.  For the twelve months ended September 
30, 1996 DPPI had unaudited revenues of approximately $2.3 million.  DPPI's 
business will be combined with the Company's existing St. Louis operations.
