1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

            NovaCare Employee Services, Inc. (the "Company") is a national
      professional employer organization ("PEO") providing small-to medium-sized
      businesses with comprehensive, fully integrated outsourcing solutions to
      human resource needs, including payroll management, workers' compensation
      risk management, health care and other employee benefits management,
      unemployment services, rehabilitation temporary staffing and human
      resource consulting services.

            The condensed consolidated financial statements include the
      operations of NovaCare Employee Services, Inc., and its wholly owned
      subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
      in consolidation.

            The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the
      Company are unaudited. The balance sheet as of June 30, 1998 is condensed
      from the audited balance sheet of the Company at that date. These
      statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations
      of the Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in
      conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes
      thereto for the year ended June 30, 1998. Certain information and footnote
      disclosures normally in the financial statements prepared in accordance
      with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
      omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of Company
      management, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the
      unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments (consisting of
      only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of
      the Company's financial position and results of operations for the interim
      periods presented. Certain amounts in the fiscal 1998 condensed
      consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with
      the fiscal 1999 presentation.

            Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended March
      31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
      expected for a full year or any portion thereof.

2.    INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

            On November 14, 1997, the Company completed an initial public
      offering of 5,000 shares of its common stock (the "Offering"). Subsequent
      to the Offering, the Company issued an additional 750 shares pursuant to
      the exercise of an over-allotment provision, for a total issuance of 5,750
      shares. The net proceeds from the Offering (including the exercise of the
      over-allotment provision), after deducting offering costs of $6,041,
      amounted to $45,709 and were used by the Company to pay: (i) the Company's
      outstanding revolving credit loan of $28,382 from NovaCare, Inc. (the
      "Parent"), (ii) $1,000 to an affiliate of the Company who is a former
      owner of a business acquired by the Company, and (iii) $16,172 to retire
      deferred purchase obligations. The remaining proceeds were allocated for
      general corporate purposes. Simultaneously with the completion of the
      Offering, the Company's mandatorily redeemable common stock was converted
      into 813 shares of the Company's common stock.

3.    ACQUISITIONS

            On October 1, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
      stock of Payday Professional Employer ("Payday"), a PEO headquartered in
      Albuquerque, New Mexico. The purchase price was comprised of cash, shares
      of the Company's common stock, the assumption of certain liabilities and
      future contingent payments. The cash portion of the purchase price was
      partially funded through borrowings from the Company's revolving credit
      facility.

            On August 1, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock
      of Pay America, Inc. ("Pay America"), a PEO headquartered in Salt Lake
      City, Utah. The purchase price was comprised of cash, shares of the
      Company's common stock, the assumption of certain liabilities and future
      contingent payments. The cash portion of the purchase price was partially
      funded through borrowings from the Company's revolving credit facility
      with the remainder generated from operations.

            During the nine months ended March 31, 1998, the Company completed
      two acquisitions - NovaPro, a rehabilitation temporary staffing business
      acquired from the Parent on July 1, 1997 and AmeriCare Employers Group,
      Inc. ("AmeriCare"), a PEO based in Arizona, acquired on December 1, 1997.

            The above acquisitions have been accounted for as a purchase, and
      accordingly, the aggregate purchase price was allocated to assets and
      liabilities based on their fair values at the date of acquisition.

            The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of the
      Company give effect to the acquisitions as if they occurred as of July 1,
      1997:

            In addition during the nine month period ended March 31, 1999, the
      Company paid $600 of guaranteed earnout payments to the former owners of a
      business acquired in fiscal 1997.

            The operating results with respect to the businesses acquired have
      been included in the consolidated results of the Company from the
      effective date of acquisition.

4.    NET INCOME PER SHARE

            The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
      Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128) during the
      second quarter of fiscal 1998. This statement revised the calculation of
      earnings per share from the "primary" and "fully diluted" methods
      previously employed to the "basic" and "assuming dilution" methods. Under
      this new statement, earnings per share-basic represents net income divided
      by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
      Earnings per share-assuming dilution represents the basic weighted average
      shares outstanding adjusted for the effects of dilutive stock options and
      contingently issuable shares under certain acquisition agreements.

            The following table sets forth the computation and reconciliation of
      net income per share-basic and net income per share-assuming dilution:

</TABLE>

            Historical net income per share is computed by dividing net income,
      net of the accretion of mandatorily redeemable common stock, by the
      weighted average number of shares outstanding.

            Pro forma net income per share is computed by dividing net income,
      without consideration to the accretion of mandatorily redeemable common
      stock, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

            Options to purchase 15 and 1,101 shares of common stock for the
      three and nine months ended March 31, 1999, respectively, were not
      included in the computation of net income per share-assuming dilution
      because the effect would be antidilutive. As part of certain purchase
      agreements, the former owners of acquired companies are eligible to
      receive additional shares of the Company's common stock contingent upon
      the acquired companies achieving certain financial and operating criteria
      over multiple reporting periods. Approximately 2,003 contingently issuable
      shares were not included in the computation of net income per
      share-assuming dilution because the specified financial and operating
      conditions have not been satisfied. There were no transactions occurring
      subsequent to March 31, 1999 that would have materially changed the number
      of shares used in computing net income per share-basic or net income per
      share-assuming dilution.

            In November 1997, the Company entered into a three-year revolving
      credit facility with a syndicate of lenders. The credit facility provides
      for interest at a variable rate, depending on certain financial ratios,
      equal to (a) the EuroDollar rate plus a range of 1.375% to 2.50% or (b)
      the lead lender's prime rate plus a range of 0.125% to 1.25%. In addition,
      the Company has agreed to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.30% to 0.50%
      per annum on the unused portion of the commitment. Loans made under the
      credit facility are collateralized by a pledge of all of the: (i)
      Company's interest in the common stock of its subsidiaries; (ii) assets of
      the Company and its subsidiaries; and (iii) Parent's interest in the
      common stock of the Company. The revolving credit facility requires the
      maintenance of minimum capitalization and net worth amounts, capital
      expenditure thresholds as well as certain financial ratios. At March 31,
      1999, the Company was in compliance with these requirements. The unused
      portion of the credit facility at March 31, 1999 was $25,000.

7.    MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK

            Mandatorily redeemable common stock was issued in fiscal 1997 in
      connection with certain acquisitions which provided certain registration
      and valuation rights. The mandatorily redeemable common stock was recorded
      at the fair value at the date of issuance. The excess of the put price
      over the carrying value was accreted by periodic charges to retained
      earnings or additional paid-in capital, as applicable, over a two-year
      period. During the nine months ended March 31, 1998, the Company recorded
      $1,185 of accretion to retained earnings. On November 11, 1997, all 813
      shares of mandatorily redeemable stock were converted into common stock.

8.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

            The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise
      in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the
      amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will
      not have a materially adverse effect on the financial position or results
      of operations of the Company.

            The Company's operations are subject to numerous federal, state and
      local laws related to employment, taxes and benefit plan matters.
      Generally, these regulations affect all companies in the United States.
      However, the regulatory environment for PEOs is an evolving area due to
      uncertainties resulting from the non-traditional employment relationship
      created by PEOs. Many federal and state laws relating to tax and
      employment matters were enacted prior to the development of PEO companies
      and do not specifically address the obligations and responsibilities of
      these co-employer relationships. The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS")
      has conducted a market segment study of the PEO industry (the "Market
      Segment Study") focusing on selected PEOs (not including the Company) for
      the purpose of examining the relationship among PEOs, their clients,
      worksite employees, and the worksite owners. IRS officials indicate that
      the Market Segment Study is near completion and suggest that an
      announcement of the IRS' position with respect to PEOs has been delayed
      pending the outcome of legislation that has been proposed by the PEO
      industry. If the IRS concludes that PEOs are not "employers" of certain
      worksite employees for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code, the
      Company's benefit plans (including cafeteria, health and welfare, and
      retirement plans) may lose their favorable tax status, and the Company may
      no longer be able to assume its clients' Federal employment tax
      withholding obligations. The Company believes that, although unfavorable
      to the Company, a prospective application by the IRS of an adverse
      conclusion would not have a material effect on its financial position and
      results of operations. A retrospective application by the IRS could have a
      material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position,
      results of operations and liquidity. While the Company believes that a
      retrospective disqualification is unlikely, there can be no assurance as
      to the ultimate resolution of these issues.

            In February 1997, the Company entered into a contract with the
      Parent to co-employ substantially all of the Parent's workforce (the
      "NovaCare Contract"). Under the NovaCare Contract, the Company provides
      traditional PEO services such as payroll and benefits management, worksite
      safety evaluation, employment-related risk management and compensation and
      benefits consultation. Effective July 1, 1998, the Company and the Parent
      amended the NovaCare Contract to provide the existing PEO services and a
      broader array of services, including recruiting, employee training and
      orientation, outplacement and human resource consulting. The amended
      contract is for four years and is principally a fee-for-service contract,
      with the fees negotiated annually. This replaced the previous contract
      which was priced as a percentage of payroll. The Parent may not terminate
      the NovaCare Contract except in the event of: (i) the breach of any of the
      Company's agreements, duties, or performance standards under the NovaCare
      Contract; (ii) the making of false or misleading representations,
      warranties, or statements of material fact in documents submitted by or on
      behalf of the Company to the Parent; or (iii) the insolvency, bankruptcy,
      or receivership of the Company.

            On March 31, 1999, the Parent announced that due to continuing
      declines in rehabilitation caseloads at customer long-term care
      facilities, resulting from the new reimbursement structure for therapy
      under the Medicare program, and to a lesser extent, contract
      cancellations, the Parent will be forced to exit selected long-term care
      markets and facilities, and will continue to lower expenses by reducing
      labor costs. In addition, the Parent has announced a definitive agreement
      to sell its orthotics and prosthetics services business. Based on these
      announcements, the Company and the Parent are negotiating new contract
      terms to reflect changes in the Parent's ongoing service needs. The
      Company expects that the new contract terms will be effective July 1,
      1999.

8.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

            The Company anticipates that the events described above will have an
      adverse impact on the future operating results of the NovaCare Contract
      and the Company's rehabilitation temporary staffing services business. The
      Company is evaluating the implications these events will have on its
      organizational structure, and expects to record a provision for
      restructure in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. The provision will
      consist principally of employee severance costs, which represent the
      accumulation of termination benefits as set forth in the Company's
      severance policy, and facility lease costs.

            In addition to the sale of its orthotics and prosthetics services
      business, the Parent continues to evaluate its strategic alternatives for
      obtaining capital to fund its ongoing working capital needs, satisfy its
      remaining debt obligations and maximize the Parent's shareholder value.
      Such alternatives include the evaluation of the Parent's long-term 
      care services segment, replacing the Parent's current debt with long-term
      financing through a high-yield debt offering or private placement or the
      sale of one or more of the Parent's remaining businesses. The feasibility
      and timing of these alternatives will depend on a variety of capital
      markets, tax, regulatory and operational issues. The ultimate impact of
      these alternatives on the NovaCare Contract and on the future operating
      results and financial position of the Company is not presently
      determinable.

            In response to the Parent's recent announcements to reduce the scale
      of its long-term care services segment by exiting selected markets, and
      that it had reached a definitive agreement to sell its orthotics and
      prosthetics services business, the Company has engaged two investment
      banking firms to assist the Company in exploring strategic alternatives,
      which may include the sale of the Company.

            The assessment of strategic alternatives by the Company will
      complement the Parent's continued evaluation of strategic alternatives for
      its remaining businesses. The feasibility and timing of the Company's
      alternatives will depend on a variety of capital markets, tax, regulatory
      and operational issues. The impact of these strategic alternatives on the
      future operating results and financial position of the Company, in the
      event the Company executes a sale or separation from the Parent, is not
      presently determinable.

OVERVIEW

      NovaCare Employee Services, Inc. (the "Company") is the third largest
(measured by number of worksite employees) professional employer organization
("PEO") in the United States. The Company provides small-to medium-sized
businesses with comprehensive, fully integrated outsourcing solutions to human
resource needs, including payroll management, workers' compensation risk
management, health care and other employee benefits management, unemployment
services, rehabilitation temporary staffing and human resource consulting
services. The Company was established by NovaCare, Inc. (the "Parent"), in
September 1996, as a subsidiary and commenced operations on October 1, 1996,
concurrent with the acquisition of one PEO business. In February 1997, the
Company acquired three additional PEO businesses and entered into a contract
with the Parent to provide traditional PEO services to principally all of the
Parent's worksite employees (the "NovaCare Contract"). During fiscal 1998, the
Company completed three additional acquisitions - NovaPro, a rehabilitation
temporary staffing business acquired from the Parent on July 1, 1997; AmeriCare
Employers Group, Inc. ("AmeriCare"), a PEO based in Arizona, acquired on
December 1, 1997; and Staff Leasing Systems, Inc. ("SLS"), a PEO based in
Maryland, acquired on May 1, 1998. In addition, in November 1997 and June 1998,
the Company expanded via start-up operations into two new markets, Atlanta and
Philadelphia, respectively. Effective July 1, 1998, the Company amended the
NovaCare Contract to provide the existing traditional PEO services and a broader
array of services, including recruiting, employee training and orientation,
outplacement and human resource consulting to the Parent. The Company acquired
Pay America, Inc. ("Pay America"), a PEO based in Utah, effective August 1, 1998
and Payday Professional Employer ("Payday"), a PEO based in New Mexico,
effective October 1, 1998. At March 31, 1999, the Company served 3,896 client
organizations with 56,106 employees at over 5,000 worksites in 46 states,
principally in nine different industries.

CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENT WITH PARENT

      The Parent and the Company entered into the NovaCare Contract in February
1997, whereby principally all of the Parent's employees are co-employed by the
Company. Under the NovaCare Contract, the Company provides traditional PEO
services such as payroll and benefits management, worksite safety evaluation,
employment-related risk management and compensation and benefits consultation.
In January 1998, the Parent initiated a restructuring plan to favorably position
one of its operating divisions for recent changes in the Medicare reimbursement
system as mandated by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. The intent of the plan
was to substantially reduce the cost of its workforce by transitioning to an
operating model which relies on lower cost quality services. In support of this
transition and to address the increased demand from the Parent for additional
human resource services, the Company and the Parent amended the NovaCare
Contract. The amended contract is a four-year agreement which became effective
July 1, 1998. It provides the existing PEO services and a broader array of
services, including recruiting, employee training and orientation, outplacement
and human resource consulting. The amended contract is principally a
fee-for-service contract. The Parent may not terminate the NovaCare Contract
except in the event of: (i) the breach of any of the Company's agreements,
duties or performance standards under the NovaCare Contract; (ii) the making of
false or misleading representations, warranties, or statements of material fact
in documents submitted by or on behalf of the Company to the Parent; or (iii)
the insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership of the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

      Revenues totaled $384 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
compared to $338.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
representing an increase of $45.7 million or 13%. During this period, third
party revenues increased $78.6 million or 54%, while related party revenues
declined $32.9 million or 17%. The overall increase in revenue is attributable
to an increased number of clients and worksite employees served. From March 31,
1998 to March 31, 1999, the number of clients increased 47% from 2,650 to 3,896
while the number of weighted average worksite employees increased 22% from
46,363 to 56,528. The increases are attributable to: (i) additions from
businesses acquired; (ii) internal growth in existing markets; and (iii)
start-up of new markets.

      Gross profit was $16.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
compared to $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
representing an increase of $5.4 million or 48%. The increase in gross profit is
attributable to: (i) additional higher margin services provided to the Parent
under the amended NovaCare Contract; (ii) gross profit from newly acquired
businesses; (iii) internal growth resulting from increased clients and worksite
employees in the Company's existing markets; and (iv) growth from the start-up
of new markets. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 4.4% for
the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to 3.3% for the same period in
the prior year. The improvement is attributable to: (i) additional higher margin
services provided under the amended NovaCare Contract; (ii) third party
business, which has a higher gross profit margin, comprising a larger portion of
the Company's operations compared to the same period in the prior year; and
(iii) the provision of higher margin temporary staffing services provided to the
Parent. The gross profit per third party weighted average worksite employee
decreased to $209 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $217 for the
comparable period in the prior year. The decrease is attributable to a decline
in the provision of temporary staffing services, which have higher margins
compared to standard PEO services. The gross profit per related party weighted
average worksite employee increased to $532 for the three months ended March 31,
1999 from $285 for the comparable period in the prior year due to: (i) the
higher margin services provided under the amended NovaCare Contract; and (ii)
the provision of higher margin temporary staffing services.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $11.0 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $7.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, representing an increase of $3.3 million or 43%. The
increase results from increased staffing and other expenses associated with: (i)
the timing of acquisitions; (ii) new services provided under the amended
NovaCare Contract; (iii) executing the Company's internal growth strategy; and
(iv) opening new markets. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and
administrative expenses were 2.9% for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
compared to 2.3% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues is due primarily
to: (i) the additional services provided under the amended NovaCare Contract;
(ii) an increase in costs to support the Company's expanding infrastructure; and
(iii) third party operations, which have higher selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue, comprising a larger portion
of the current period's expenses.

      Amortization of excess cost of net assets acquired increased to $887,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $777,000 for the comparable
period in the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to the
acquisitions of SLS, Pay America and Payday discussed above.

      Interest expense, net of investment income, increased to $106,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 from $75,000 for the comparable period in the
prior year. The increase is due primarily to an increase in the Company's
average borrowings from the revolving credit facility during the three months
ended March 31, 1999 compared to the prior year. The increase in the average
borrowings is primarily due to the increased number of acquisitions made
subsequent to March 31, 1998.

      Income tax expense as a percentage of pretax income decreased to 46.0%
from 46.5%. The principal reason for the reduction in the tax rate was the
relative impact of non-deductible amortization of excess costs of net assets
acquired on pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared
with the prior year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

      Revenues totaled $1.170 billion for the nine months ended March 31, 1999,
compared to $908 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1998, representing
an increase of $262 million or 29%. During this period, third party revenues
increased $280.8 million or 83%, while related party revenues decreased $18.4
million or 3%. The overall increase is attributable to an increased number of
clients and worksite employees served. From March 31, 1998 to March 31, 1999,
the number of clients increased 47% from 2,650 to 3,896, while the number of
weighted average worksite employees increased 39% from 40,742 to 56,588. The
increases are attributable to: (i) additions from businesses acquired; (ii)
internal growth in existing markets; and (iii) start-up of new markets.

      Gross profit was $47.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1999,
compared to $29.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1998, representing
an increase of $18.4 million or 63%. The increase in gross profit is
attributable to: (i) additional higher margin services provided to the Parent
under the amended NovaCare Contract; (ii) gross profit from newly acquired
businesses; (iii) internal growth resulting from increased clients and worksite
employees in the Company's existing markets; and (iv) growth from the start-up
of new markets. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 4.0% for
the nine months ended March 31, 1999, compared to 3.2% for the same period in
the prior year. The improvement is attributable to: (i) additional higher margin
services provided under the amended NovaCare Contract; (ii) third party
business, which has a higher gross profit margin, comprising a larger portion of
the Company's operations compared to the same period in the prior year; and
(iii) the provision of higher margin temporary staffing services provided to the
Parent. The gross profit per third party weighted average worksite employee
increased to $613 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 from $591 for the
comparable period in the prior year. The increase is attributable to improved
same market gross profit per worksite employee and the impact of newly acquired
businesses. The gross profit per related party weighted average worksite
employee increased to $1,337 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 from $877
for the comparable period in the prior year due to: (i) the higher margin
services provided under the amended NovaCare Contract; and (ii) the provision of
higher margin temporary staffing services.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $31.6 million
for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 from $19.8 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 1998, representing an increase of $11.8 million or 59%. The
increase results from increased staffing and other expenses associated with: (i)
the timing of acquisitions; (ii) new services provided under the amended
NovaCare Contract; (iii) executing the Company's internal growth strategy; and
(iv) opening new markets. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and
administrative expenses were 2.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 1999,
compared to 2.2% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues is due primarily
to: (i) the additional services provided under the amended NovaCare Contract;
(ii) an increase in costs to support the Company's expanding infrastructure; and
(iii) third party operations, which have higher selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue, comprising a larger portion
of the current period's expenses.

      Amortization of excess cost of net assets acquired increased to $2.7
million for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 from $2.0 million for the
comparable period in the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to
the acquisitions of AmeriCare, SLS, Pay America and Payday discussed above.

      Interest expense, net of investment income, decreased to $268,000 for the
nine months ended March 31, 1999 from $645,000 for the comparable period in the
prior year. The decrease is due primarily to a reduction in related party
interest expense. During the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company repaid
all outstanding indebtedness to the Parent with a portion of the net proceeds
available from the Offering completed November 14, 1997.

      Income tax expense as a percentage of pretax income decreased to 46.0%
from 46.5%. The principal reason for the reduction in the tax rate was the
relative impact of non-deductible amortization of excess costs of net assets
acquired on pre-tax income for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 compared
with the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company had $4.5 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31,
1999. As of the same date, the Company had a working capital deficit of $8.3
million compared to a working capital deficit of $7.9 million at June 30, 1998.

      Cash flows from operating activities were $4.3 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 1999, representing a decrease of $11.7 million from the nine
months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease results principally from a $16.5
million decrease in cash flows related to workers' compensation and health claim
liabilities, caused primarily from the timing of benefits payments related to
the NovaCare Contract and third party clients; partially offset by a $3.4
million increase in net income and a $1.2 million increase in non-cash charges
consisting of amortization, depreciation and provision for uncollectible
accounts. Accounts receivable, accrued salaries, wages, payroll taxes, and
health benefit premiums payable are subject to fluctuations depending on the
correlation between the financial reporting cycle versus the payroll cycle.

      Cash expended for investing activities was $5.5 million for the nine
months ended March 31, 1999 compared to $27.9 million for the comparable period
in the prior year. During the first nine months of fiscal 1999, the Company
expended $3.4 million in net cash payments to complete the August 1998 and
October 1998 acquisitions of Pay America and Payday, respectively, along with
$2.0 million for capital expenditures related primarily to computer equipment,
software and furniture. During the first nine months of fiscal 1998, the Company
retired $17.2 million of deferred purchase obligations related to fiscal 1997
acquisitions and paid $7.8 million of net cash to complete the December 1997
acquisition of AmeriCare. Capital expenditures in the prior year of $2.4 million
related primarily to furniture, leasehold improvements and computer equipment
associated with the Company's relocation to new corporate headquarters.

      Net cash flows from financing activities decreased by $16.5 million to a
net cash flow use of $298,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 when
compared to the same period in the prior year. In the first nine months of
fiscal 1998, the Company completed the Offering of 5.8 million shares of common
stock and received net proceeds of $45.7 million. A portion of the proceeds was
used to retire $28.4 million of outstanding indebtedness due to the Parent.

      In November 1997, the Company entered into a $25.0 million three-year
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders. The credit facility
provides for interest at a variable rate, depending on certain financial ratios,
equal to (a) the EuroDollar rate plus a range of 1.375% to 2.50% or (b) the lead
lender's prime rate plus a range of 0.125% to 1.25%. In addition, the Company
has agreed to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.30% to 0.50% per annum on the
unused portion of the commitment. Loans made under the Credit Facility are
collateralized by a pledge of all of the (i) Company's interest in the common
stock of its subsidiaries, (ii) assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, and
(iii) Parent's interest in the common stock of the Company. The unused portion
of the credit facility at March 31, 1999 was $25.0 million.

      The Company's primary short-term liquidity requirements relate to the
payment of accrued payroll and payroll taxes of its worksite and internal core
employees, accounts payable and the payment of accrued workers' compensation
expense and health benefit plan premiums. The Company anticipates additional
short-term requirements for the remainder of fiscal 1999 related to cash
payments for potential acquisitions, capital expenditures to support the
Company's internal growth strategy and expansion into new markets. The Company
believes the cash flows generated by the Company's operations, together with its
existing cash and availability of credit under the credit facility will be
sufficient to meet the Company's short and long-term cash needs.

YEAR 2000 READINESS

      The "Year 2000 issue" is the result of historical computer programming of
date sensitive software. Many existing computer programs have been written using
only two digits to define an applicable year (e.g. 98 for 1998), rather than
four digits. On January 1, 2000, any date recording mechanism, including date
sensitive software, may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than
the year 2000. This could result in systems failures or create erroneous
results, including among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions.

      Generally, the scope of the Company's exposure to the Year 2000 issue is
limited to its core business systems (payroll, human resources and financial
reporting systems) and the computer systems used by third party service
providers and suppliers. The Company has completed its initial assessment and
believes that all internal Year 2000 issues will be addressed timely to ensure
that the core business systems are in the appropriate state of readiness.

      In January 1998, the Company launched a Year 2000-review program, which
included a dedicated Year 2000 project team, review process and internal and
external communication activities. At March 31, 1999 all of the core business
systems have been identified, evaluated and risk assessed for Year 2000
readiness. All significant external suppliers, comprised primarily of financial
institutions, third party insurers and service providers and information
technology suppliers, have been contacted to determine the extent to which the
Company is vulnerable to any external Year 2000 issues. While the Company is not
currently aware of any significant Year 2000 issues related to its business with
service providers and suppliers, there can be no guarantee that the Company will
not be adversely affected by the failure of its primary vendors to remediate
their own Year 2000 issues.

      The Company expects to complete Year 2000 testing and remediation by June
30, 1999. Remediation activities consist of developing new programs to enhance
or provide additional functionality to the Company's core business systems. The
next phase of the Company's Year 2000 review program, testing and validation of
external supplier Year 2000 readiness, is expected to be completed by September
15, 1999. Given the Company's current state of readiness and limited exposure,
the cost of remediation activities should approximate $150,000. As of March 31,
1999 the Company's incurred costs related to Year 2000 readiness have been
limited to salary and benefits costs of internal information systems personnel,
and are included as an expense in the fiscal 1998 and 1999 operating results. If
the Company is unsuccessful in completing remediation of non-compliant systems
or third party vendors are not capable of rectifying Year 2000 issues, the
Company could be subjected to the following risks: (i) disruption of payroll,
benefits and compensation administration; (ii) information from internal
management control and reporting systems may lack integrity; (iii) the quality
of service to clients could decline, resulting in higher attrition and loss of
business; and (iv) eligibility information from third party insurers could be
compromised resulting in denial of benefits to health plan participants.

      In the event the Company would be subject to the above risks, an
appropriate contingency plan would be implemented. At March 31, 1999, the
Company's contingency plan includes: (i) a dedicated internal group of
information systems professionals that is primarily focused on system or process
disruption; (ii) the creation of a partnership with external service providers
and suppliers to respond to a disruption; (iii) labor intensive efforts in place
of core business system processing; and (iv) on a selective basis engaging
external consultants.

MARKETING AGREEMENT

      In fiscal 1998, the Company implemented a strategy to identify and
evaluate potential marketing alliances to augment other opportunities for
growth. In March 1999, the Company entered into a three-year marketing agreement
with AFLAC, Inc., the leading writer of supplemental insurance in the United
States, to cross-sell products between the two companies' respective client
bases. The marketing agreement will give the Company access to AFLAC's
substantial customer base across the country and will broaden the Company's
reach to prospective customers through AFLAC's national sales organization. In
addition, the Company's existing worksite employees will be offered an enhanced
employee benefits package through AFLAC's wide array of supplemental insurance
products.

      The Company believes that the agreement with AFLAC will enhance its
ability to increase the growth of worksite employees and clients in existing and
new markets. However, there can be no assurance of these results in the future.
The Company intends to continue developing other alliance opportunities as an
extension of its marketing and sales capability.

STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES

      In response to the Parent's recent announcements to reduce the scale of
its long-term care services segment by exiting selected markets, and that it
had reached a definitive agreement to sell its orthotics and prosthetics
services business, the Company has engaged two investment banking firms to
assist the Company in exploring strategic alternatives, which may include the
sale of the Company.

      The assessment of strategic alternatives by the Company will complement
the Parent's continued evaluation of strategic alternatives for its remaining
businesses. The feasibility and timing of the Company's alternatives will depend
on a variety of capital markets, tax, regulatory and operational issues. The
impact of these alternatives on the future operating results and financial
position of the Company, in the event the Company executes a sale or separation
from the Parent, is not presently determinable.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

      Except for historical information, matters discussed above including, but
not limited to, statements concerning future growth and Year 2000 readiness, are
forward-looking statements that are based on management's estimates, assumptions
and projections. Important factors that could cause results to differ materially
from those expected by management include (i) management retention and
development; (ii) management's success in integrating acquired businesses, in
developing and introducing new products and lines of business and in entering
new markets; (iii) the ability of the Company, its customers and its suppliers
to complete assessment, testing and remediation of Year 2000 issues; (iv)
adverse Internal Revenue Service rulings and state regulations with respect to
the employer status of employee services businesses; (v) the Company's ability
to implement its employee services business model; and (vi) any adverse impact
on the operating results of the NovaCare Contract in the event the Parent
executes some form of a separation strategy, or the sale of one or more of its
businesses.
