Dear Fellow Stockholders:
 
    We are pleased to inform you that on October 19, 1998, BRC Holdings, Inc.
(the "Company") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement") with Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. ("Parent") and ACS
Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Purchaser"),
pursuant to which Purchaser has commenced a tender offer (the "Offer") to
purchase 8,704,238 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par
value $0.10 per share (the "Common Stock"), which is approximately 51% of the
outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis of Common Stock, for a cash price of
$19.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash without interest. The Offer is
conditioned upon, among other things, there being validly tendered prior to the
expiration of the Offer and not properly withdrawn 8,704,238 Shares. The Offer
is also subject to certain other terms and conditions as set forth in the
accompanying Offer to Purchase. The Merger Agreement provides that following
consummation of the Offer and upon the terms and subject to the conditions in
the Merger Agreement and in accordance with Delaware law, Purchaser will be
merged (the "Merger") with and into the Company and the shares of the Common
Stock that are not acquired in the Offer will be converted into the right to
receive $19.00 per share in cash.
 
    THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE OFFER AND ADOPTED THE
MERGER AGREEMENT AND DETERMINED THAT THE TERMS OF THE OFFER AND THE MERGER (AS
DEFINED IN THE ENCLOSED SCHEDULE 14D-9) ARE FAIR TO, AND IN THE BEST INTERESTS
OF, THE COMPANY AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS, AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE
COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS ACCEPT THE OFFER AND TENDER THEIR SHARES PURSUANT TO THE
OFFER.
 
    In arriving at its recommendation, the Board of Directors considered the
factors described in the accompanying Schedule 14D-9, including the opinion of
the Company's financial advisor, Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette Securities
Corporation ("Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette"), to the effect that the
consideration to be received by the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the
Offer and the Merger is fair to the stockholders from a financial point of view.
A copy of Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette's written opinion is set forth in full as
Annex A to the attached Schedule 14D-9.
 
    The accompanying Offer to Purchase sets forth all of the terms of the Offer.
Additionally, the enclosed Schedule 14D-9 sets forth additional information
regarding the Offer and the Merger relevant to making an informed decision. We
urge you to read these materials carefully and in their entirety.
 
                                          Very truly yours,
 
                                          /s/ Paul Stoffel
