                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  For the Quarters Ended June 27, 1997 and 1996



              The information  furnished  reflects all adjustments which, in the
opinion  of the  Company,  are  necessary  to present  fairly  its  consolidated
financial  position and the results of its  operations  and changes in financial
position for the periods indicated.

              Reference is made to the Company's annual financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 1996, for a description of the accounting  policies,
which have been continued without change. Also refer to the footnotes with those
annual statements for additional details of the Company's  financial  condition,
results of operations and changes in cash flows. The details in those notes have
not  changed  except as a result of normal  transactions  in the interim and the
stock split described below.

              On May 7, 1997,  the Board of Directors  declared a  three-for-two
common stock split in the form of a 50% stock  distribution,  payable on June 9,
1997,  to  shareholders  of record on May 22, 1997. An amount equal to the $0.10
par value of the common shares  distributed has been  retroactively  transferred
from additional paid-in capital to common stock. All references in the financial
statements  with  regard to the  number of shares of common  stock and per share
amounts have been retroactively adjusted.


Impact of Accounting Pronouncements, Not Yet Adopted

Earnings per Share: In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board
(FASB)  issued  SFAS No.  128,  "Earnings  per  Share",  which  requires  public
companies to present basic earnings per share (EPS) and, if applicable,  diluted
earnings  per share,  instead of primary  and fully  diluted  EPS.  Basic EPS is
calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted  average  number of shares
outstanding for the period,  without consideration for common stock equivalents.
Diluted EPS is computed  similarly to fully diluted EPS under the  provisions of
APB  Opinion No. 15.  Revision  of the EPS  standard  had two  objectives  -- to
simplify  the  earnings  per  share  calculation  and to make  the EPS  standard
applicable to US entities  comparable  to the standards of most other  countries
and to the international standard, which was also recently revised.

              Although  presentation  of this new format is required for periods
ending after  December 15,  1997,  early  application  is not  permitted.  Staff
Accounting  Bulletin No. 74, however,  requires public  companies to discuss the
expected impact of adopting the new accounting pronouncement.

Had EPS been  calculated  under SFAS No. 128, the Company's  Pro-Forma Basic EPS
and Diluted EPS would have been as follows:

Comprehensive  Income:  In June  1997,  FASB  issued  SFAS No.  130,  "Reporting
Comprehensive  Income",  which  requires  that all items that are required to be
recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive  income, be
reported in a financial statement that displays total  comprehensive  income for
the period. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15,  1997 and is not  expected  to have a  significant  impact on the  Company's
financial statement presentation.

Segments of an Enterprise  and Related  Information:  In June 1997,  FASB issued
SFAS  No.  131,  "Disclosures  about  Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related
Information", which requires disclosure of information about operating segments,
products and services,  geographic areas and major  customers.  This standard is
effective for financial  statements  for periods  beginning  after  December 15,
1997.  The  impact  of  this  standard  on  the  Company's  financial  statement
presentation has not as yet been determined.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                  For the Quarters Ended June 27, 1997 and 1996


     Revenues.  Revenues  increased  from $56.0 million in the second quarter of
1996 to $75.7  million  in the  second  quarter of 1997,  an  increase  of $19.7
million or 35.1%.  Staffing revenues  increased from $39.6 million in the second
quarter of 1996 to $50.0  million in the second  quarter of 1997, an increase of
$10.4 million or 26.4%. Total solutions revenues,  including Year 2000 revenues,
increased  from $16.4 million in the second  quarter of 1996 to $25.7 million in
the second  quarter of 1997,  an  increase of $9.3  million or 56.2%.  Year 2000
services  revenues  increased from $1.6 million in the second quarter of 1996 to
$16.4 million in the second quarter of 1997, an increase of $14.8  million.  The
Company's Year 2000 business  accounted for 2.8% of total revenues in the second
quarter of 1996 versus  21.7% of total  revenues in the second  quarter of 1997.
Solutions revenues,  excluding Year 2000 services,  decreased from $14.8 million
in the second  quarter of 1996 to $9.3 million in the second  quarter of 1997, a
decrease of $5.5 million or 37.5%. Approximately $2.2 million of the decrease is
related to the loss of a contract with a major client in 1996.  The remainder of
the  decrease  is  attributable  to a shift in client  demand and the  Company's
increased focus on its Year 2000 business.

     Revenues  increased  from $113.1 million in the first six months of 1996 to
$145.5  million in the first six months of 1997, an increase of $32.4 million or
28.7%. Staffing revenues increased from $77.0 million in the first six months of
1996 to $98.9  million in the first six  months of 1997,  an  increase  of $21.9
million  or 28.5%.  Total  solutions  revenues,  including  Year 2000  revenues,
increased from $36.1 million in the first six months of 1996 to $46.6 million in
the first six months of 1997, an increase of $10.5  million or 29.0%.  Year 2000
services revenues increased from $2.5 million in the first six months of 1996 to
$27.8 million in the first six months of 1997, an increase of $25.3 million. The
Company's  Year 2000 business  accounted for 2.2% of total revenues in the first
six months of 1996  versus  19.1% of total  revenues  in the first six months of
1997.  Solutions  revenues,  excluding Year 2000 services,  decreased from $33.6
million in the first six months of 1996 to $18.8 million in the first six months
of 1997, a decrease of $14.8 million or 44.2%. Approximately $8.0 million of the
decrease is related to the loss of a contract  with a major client in the second
quarter of 1996.  The  remainder of the decrease is  attributable  to a shift in
client demand and the Company's increased focus on its Year 2000 business.

     Direct Costs.  Direct costs  increased from $40.0 million and $79.3 million
in the  second  quarter  and first six  months of 1996,  respectively,  to $51.2
million and $99.1 million in the comparable 1997 periods. Gross margin increased
from  28.7%  and 29.9% in the  second  quarter  and  first  six  months of 1996,
respectively, to 32.4% and 31.9% in the comparable 1997 periods. The increase in
gross  margin was  primarily  due to stable  margins in the  Company's  staffing
business and an increase in the Company's higher margin Year 2000 business.  The
Company's  margins  are  subject  to  fluctuations  due to a number of  factors,
including  the level of salary and other  compensation  necessary to attract and
retain qualified technical  personnel,  and the mix of staffing versus solutions
business during a particular quarter.
<PAGE>
     Selling,  General and Administrative.  Selling,  general and administrative
expenses  increased in absolute dollars from $12.5 million in the second quarter
of 1996 to $16.1  million in the second  quarter of 1997,  an  increase  of $3.6
million  or  28.8%.   As  a  percentage  of  revenues,   selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses  decreased from 22.3% of revenues in the second quarter
of 1996 to 21.3% of  revenues in the second  quarter of 1997.  For the first six
months of 1996,  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased  in
absolute  dollars from $24.6 million to $31.1 million in the first six months of
1997,  an  increase  of $6.5  million or 26.2%.  As a  percentage  of  revenues,
selling,  general and  administrative  expenses decreased slightly from 21.8% of
revenues  in the first six months of 1996 to 21.4% of  revenues in the first six
months of 1997. The increases in selling, general and administrative expenses in
absolute  dollars  was  primarily  a result  of  salaries  and  commissions  for
additional sales and recruiting personnel and, to a lesser extent, growth in the
Company's general and administrative infrastructure.

     Income from Operations.  Operating  margins increased from 6.4% and 8.1% in
the  second  quarter  and first six months of 1996,  respectively,  to 11.1% and
10.5% in the  comparable  1997 periods.  These  increases  were primarily due to
increases in the Company's higher margin Year 2000 business.

     Other  Income.  Other income  decreased  from  $147,000 and $319,000 in the
second  quarter  and first six  months of 1996,  respectively,  to  $63,000  and
$248,000  in the  comparable  1997  periods,  a decrease of $84,000 or 57.1% and
$71,000 or 22.3%,  respectively.  These  decreases  were primarily the result of
decreases  in  earnings  from the Joint  Venture,  which was offset in part by a
decrease in net interest expense. The Joint Venture's decreased earnings in 1997
were primarily due to costs associated with increased headcount, particularly in
marketing  and  project  management  personnel  as  it  expanded  its  solutions
business.  The Company  expects  that the Joint  Venture  will  continue to make
significant  investments  in  personnel  which will  result in  continued  lower
earning levels for the Joint Venture in second half 1997.

     Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rates for federal,  state and
local  income  taxes for the  second  quarter  and first six months of 1996 were
42.4% and 42.3%,  respectively.  For the comparable 1997 periods, the rates were
42.7% and 42.5%, respectively.

     Net Income.  Net income  increased from $2.1 million for the second quarter
of 1996 to $4.8  million  for the second  quarter of 1997,  an  increase of $2.7
million or 126.5%.  Net income per share was $0.08  versus  $0.19 for the second
quarter of 1996 and 1997,  respectively.  Net income increased from $5.4 million
for the first six months of 1996 to $8.9 million in the comparable  1997 period,
an increase of $3.5 million or 64.1%.  Net income per share increased from $0.21
in the first six  months  of 1996 to $0.35 in the first six  months of 1997,  on
higher weighted average shares  outstanding  (25.5 million versus 25.8 million).
All net  income  per share and share  amounts  have been  adjusted  to reflect a
three-for-two  split in the form of a 50% common stock  dividend  distributed on
June 9, 1997.

     Liquidity  and Capital  Resources.  At June 27, 1997,  the Company had $3.8
million in cash and cash  equivalents,  $59.8 million in working  capital and no
outstanding borrowings under its bank lines of credit.

              Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.0 million for the
first six months of 1996,  consisting primarily of net income, offset in part by
an  increase in accounts  receivable.  During the first six months of 1997,  net
cash used in operating activities was $6.0 million,  primarily as a result of an
increase  in  accounts  receivable,  largely  due to  growth  in  the  Company's
solutions business.

              Net cash used in investing  activities  in the first six months of
1996 and 1997 were  $1.1  million  and $1.5  million,  respectively,  consisting
primarily of purchases of equipment and furniture.

              Net cash used in financing  activities  was $860,000 for the first
six months of 1996,  with  repayment of long-term  debt  exceeding the amount of
proceeds received from stock option exercises.  For the first six months of 1997
the reverse was true,  with net cash being  provided by financing  activities in
the amount of $313,000,  with  proceeds  received  from stock  option  exercises
exceeding the amount of long-term debt repayment.

              At June 27, 1997,  the Company had a current ratio of 5.0 to 1, no
long-term debt and no outstanding  borrowings  under its two unsecured  lines of
credit. However, as an employee-based services company which pays its increasing
workforce  bi-weekly,  growth places  increasing  demands on cash balances.  The
Company  is,  therefore  contemplating  a follow on equity  offering  during the
second half of 1997.
