|(1) | All options were granted at an exercise price not less than fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The exercise price may be paid in cash, in shares of Common
Stock valued at fair market value on the exercise date or through a cashless exercise procedure involving a same-day sale of the purchased shares.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | A total of 1,093,000 options were granted during the fiscal year ended December 28, 2003.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | The potential realizable values are calculated based on the term of the option at its time of grant (ten years). It is calculated by assuming that the stock price on the date of
grant appreciates at the indicated annual rate, compounded annually for the entire term of the option. These amounts represent hypothetical gains assuming rates of appreciation specified by the SEC, and do not represent the Companys estimated
or projection of future Common Stock prices. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises are dependent on the future performance of the Company, overall market conditions and the optionees continued employment through the vesting period.
The amounts reflected in this table may not be achieved.

|(4) | On March 17, 2003, certain officers and senior management personnel accepted a salary reduction of 5% to 25%, as part of an involuntary salary reduction plan (PASO) put
into effect by the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee. In exchange for the salary reduction, the officers received stock options equal to 150% of their salary reductions, at an option price of $1.30. The options vest one-third on each
successive anniversary of the grant date for a 3-year period; provided, however, vesting in the following amounts is accelerated to the date on which the Companys common stock price trades for five consecutive trading days at or above
the following prices:
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 33% of the original grant when the Companys common stock trades at or above $3.00 for five consecutive trading days.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Another 33% of the original grant when the Companys common stock trades at or above $5.00 for five consecutive trading days.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Remaining 33% of the original grant when the Companys common stock trades at or above $6.00 for five consecutive trading days.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, in the event of any transaction that may constitute a change-in-control of the Company, vesting of all such unvested
options shall accelerate to the date of the consummation of such transaction. The officers salaries reverted back to their pre-reduction amounts on March 1, 2004. Payments under employment agreements with executive officers upon consummation
of the pending merger with Kforce are made at pre-reduction amounts.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(5) | The optionees become vested in 20% of the option shares upon the completion of one year of service and the balance of the option shares in equal monthly installments over the next
48 months of service.

Employment and Change in Control
Arrangements



Effective in January 2001, the Company
entered into a new employment agreement with Brenda Rhodes. The agreement provides for an initial term ending on the earlier of the second anniversary of the agreement or when a new Chief Executive Officer is appointed and a subsequent term for up
to three years during which Ms. Rhodes will serve as Chairman of the Board until she becomes Chairman Emeritus. During the initial term, Ms. Rhodes is entitled to a base salary of $350,000 and a bonus of up to 75% of her base salary. Ms. Rhodes
will be eligible to receive stock options and additional bonuses at the discretion of the Board of Directors. When she becomes Chairman of the Board, she will continue to be entitled to receive her base salary, but no bonus, and when she becomes
Chairman Emeritus she will receive no base salary or bonus. The agreement provides for the payment to Ms. Rhodes of certain incidental benefits she is presently receiving. Medical, life and similar insurance benefits will continue for Ms.
Rhodes lifetime, provided that she does not engage in certain competitive activities.



If Ms. Rhodes employment is terminated other than for cause or death or she is constructively discharged, including in connection with a change of control, she will be entitled to receive a payment equal to
three times her base salary and bonus paid for the immediately preceding year, any previously unvested stock options will become immediately vested, and any remaining outstanding principal and interest on Ms. Rhodes $2.0 million promissory
note owed to the Company will be forgiven. If Ms. Rhodes employment is terminated by her death, she is entitled to receive her base salary through the date of her death and a pro-rated bonus for the year of her death and any unvested stock
options will become fully vested. Upon Ms. Rhodes becoming Chairman Emeritus she will receive a payment equal to three times her base salary and bonus paid for the immediately preceding year. In connection with the agreement, the $2.0 million
promissory note due in January 2002 was amended to extend the term to January 2005 and to provide for the forgiveness of 20% of the principal plus interest over a five-year period commencing January 1, 2001. Under the agreement, in the event of a
change of control, to the extent that any payments to Ms. Rhodes result in any excise or similar taxes imposed on any parachute payments as such term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code, the Company has agreed to pay an additional
lump-sum cash payment (the Gross-Up Payment) to Ms. Rhodes in an amount such that, after payment of all federal and state taxes on the Gross-Up Payment, she will have sufficient funds to pay the tax obligations arising from the original
payment received by her. In addition, for a two-year period after she becomes Chairman Emeritus, Ms. Rhodes would have the right to purchase the Companys facility in Park City Utah, for a sum equal to the lower of its then current fair market
value or 120% of the fair market value of the facility as of April 30, 2001, however, the facility was sold in February 2004.



In connection with the acquisition of OnStaff, the Company entered into an Employment and Non-Competition Agreement with Jeffrey Evans as an Executive
Vice President of the Company. The agreement provides for a five-year term, with an annual salary of $315,000, subject to review and increase by the Board of Directors. Mr. Evans received a signing bonus of $50,000 and is entitled to participate in
the Companys bonus

plans for executive officers. The agreement also provided for the grant of options covering 250,000 shares of common stock. The options vest at a rate of 25%
after the one year with the balance vesting over a three year period in equal monthly installments. If Mr. Evans employment is terminated without cause or he resigns for good reason, as defined in the agreement, or upon a change in control,
any unvested options will become immediately vested. Mr. Evans is also provided with a life insurance policy with a $1.0 million benefit and an automobile allowance. If Mr. Evans employment is terminated without cause or he resigns for good
reason, he is entitled to receive severance in an amount equal to three times his base salary. In the event of Mr. Evans death or complete disability he would receive a pro-rated portion of any performance bonus. The agreement also contains a
customary non-competition covenant on the part of Mr. Evans. Mr. Evans is entitled to receive certain earnout payments in his capacity as a shareholder of OnStaff under the acquisition agreements with OnStaff if the milestones contained in the
agreements are satisfied.



The Company has employment
agreements with other executives, which generally provide for salary continuation of twelve months in case of termination other than for cause or disability, acceleration of options vesting on change of control and certain other provisions.



The terms of the Companys 1997 Stock Option Plan (the
1997 Plan) provide that in the event the Company is acquired by merger, consolidation or asset sale, each option outstanding at the time under the 1997 Plan will terminate to the extent not assumed by the acquiring entity. In addition,
the plan administrator generally has the discretion to accelerate the vesting of options.



On March 17, 2003, certain officers and senior management personnel accepted a salary reduction of 5% to 25%, as part of an involuntary salary reduction plan put into effect by the Board of Directors and Compensation
Committee. In exchange for the salary reduction, the officers received stock options equal to 150% of their salary reductions, at an option price of $1.30. The options vest one-third on each successive anniversary of the grant date for a 3-year
period; provided, however, vesting in the following amounts is accelerated to the date on which the Companys common stock price trades for five consecutive trading days at or above the following prices:



| |  | 33% of the original grant when the Companys common stock trades at or above $3.00 for five consecutive trading days.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Another 33% of the original grant when the Companys common stock trades at or above $5.00 for five consecutive trading days.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Remaining 33% of the original grant when the Companys common stock trades at or above $6.00 for five consecutive trading days.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, in the event of any
transaction that may constitute a change-in-control of the Company, vesting of all unvested options issued under the salary reduction plan shall accelerate to the date of the consummation of such transaction. The officers salaries reverted
back to their pre-reduction amounts on March 1, 2004. Payments under employment agreements with executive officers upon consummation of the pending merger with Kforce are made at pre-reduction amounts. In connection with the pending merger with
Kforce, certain amendments to the above change in control arrangements have been made. These are described in the registration statement/proxy statement filed by Kforce with the SEC.



Compensation of Directors



Under the automatic option grant program of the Companys 1997 Stock Option Plan, each individual who first joins the Board of Directors of the
Company as a non-employee director, will receive at that time, an automatic option grant for 50,000 shares of Common Stock. The optionee will vest in the automatic option grant in a series of four annual installments over the optionees period
of Board service, beginning one year from the grant date. Each option will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the automatic option grant date and a maximum term of ten years, subject to earlier termination
following the

optionees cessation of Board service. In addition, outside directors receive an annual retainer of $25,000; $1,000 for each meeting attended in person;
and, an additional $15,000 for a chairperson of a standing committee. The Directors options become 100% vested upon a change of control.



Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation in Compensation Decisions



Mr. Finkelman, Mr. Jenkins-Stark, and Mr. Stein served as members of the Board of Directors Compensation Committee
during 2003. None of these directors has ever been an officer or employee of the Company. No executive officer of the Company served as a member of the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of any entity that had one or more executive
officers serving as a member of the Companys Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION



The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors was comprised of three
members during 2003, Messrs. Finkelman, Jenkins-Stark, and Stein. None of these directors has ever been an officer or employee of the Company. The Compensation Committee is responsible for setting and administering policies governing compensation of
the Companys executive officers, including the Companys 1997 Stock Option Plan. In addition, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation levels of other management level employees, evaluates the performance of management and reviews
other compensation-related issues.



Compensation Philosophy



The Company applies a consistent compensation philosophy for all of its
employees, including its executive officers. The Companys compensation policy is designed to enable the Company to attract, retain and reward executive officers who are likely to contribute to the long-term success of the Company. The
Compensation Committee also believes that a strong correlation should exist between executive compensation, business objectives and overall Company performance.



In preparing the performance graph for our annual Proxy Statement, the Company has selected the Standard & Poors 500 Index (S&P 500
Index). The companies that the Company uses for comparison of salary and compensation information are not necessarily those included in the S&P 500 Index, because they were determined not to be competitive with the Company for executive
talent or because compensation information was not available.



Components of
Compensation



There are three components of the
Companys executive compensation program that support the goal of aligning compensation with the value created for the Companys stockholders while providing incentives to further the Companys strategic objectives.



Salary



The Compensation Committee strives to offer salaries to its executive officers that are competitive with salaries offered by
companies of similar size and capitalization in a similar industry. Base salaries are reviewed on an annual basis and are subject to adjustment based upon the individuals contribution to the Company and changes in salary levels offered by
comparable companies. In determining executive officers salaries, the Compensation Committee considers information provided by the Companys Chief Executive Officer with respect to individual officer responsibilities and performance, as
well as salary surveys and similar data available from independent sources.



Bonuses



For fiscal 2001, annual incentive
bonuses for the Chief Executive Officer and the other officers named in the Summary Compensation Table were based upon the following three components (i) the Companys targeted net income, (ii) earnings per share estimates for the prior fiscal
year and (iii) individual performance. The Compensation Committee reviews performance goals and, based on the components described above, each executive officers employment arrangement sets forth certain target thresholds. These target
thresholds are set on an annual basis. The actual performances of the Company and the executive officer are evaluated to determine the percentage used to calculate the bonus at the end of the year, with the size of the bonus varying between 0% and
100% of the target award. Target awards for each executive officer in fiscal 2002 and 2003 were set in relation to such officers base salary. In 2002, bonuses were paid to Ms. Hazell and Mr. Kropelnicki, and a signing bonus to Mr. Evans. In
2003, a bonus was paid to Mr. Kropelnicki for the integration of Onstaff, and a bonus commitment of $25,000, paid in 2004, was made to Ms. Hazell for her efforts in facilitating the integration with Kforce.



12



---

Equity Incentives



The Compensation Committee believes that employee equity ownership is highly motivating, provides a major incentive to employees in building stockholder
value and serves to align the interests of employees with the interests of the Companys stockholders. In determining the amount of equity compensation to be awarded to executive officers in any fiscal year, the Compensation Committee considers
the position of the officer, the current stock ownership of the officer, the number of shares that continue to be subject to vesting under outstanding options and the expected future contribution of the officer to the Companys performance,
giving primary weight to the officers position and his expected future contributions. In addition, the Compensation Committee compares the stock ownership and options held by each officer with the other officers equity positions and the
officers experience and value to the Company.



Option
grants during 2003 are described under the heading EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND OTHER MATTERS in the table entitled Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year.



CEO Compensation



The annual base salary for Ms. Rhodes, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, was established in March 1998 pursuant to an employment agreement with
the Company. Ms. Rhodes base salary is intended to be competitive with that paid to executives at comparable companies in the same industry and to reflect her personal performance for the Company. The factors that the Compensation Committee
considered in setting her annual base salary were (i) corporate performance, (ii) earnings per share and net income and (iii) individual performance. In addition, the Compensation Committee believes that an important portion of her compensation
should be based on Company performance.



The Company entered
into a new employment agreement with Ms. Rhodes in January 2001. Her base salary and bonus remained the same as her base salary and bonus arrangements under her prior employment agreement. The terms of the new agreement were negotiated with Ms.
Rhodes based primarily upon a review by the Committee of compensation arrangements for chief executive officers and founders of comparable companies, recommendations of an independent consultant engaged for purposes of reviewing the reasonableness
of the terms of the agreement and an assessment of Ms. Rhodes past, present and expected future contributions to the Company.



Deductibility of Executive Compensation



The Company has considered Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and related regulations that restrict
the deductibility for federal income tax purposes of compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer and each of the three other most highly compensated executive officers at the end of any fiscal year to the extent such compensation exceeds
$1,000,000 for any of such officer in any year, other than compensation that qualifies for an exception under the Code or regulations. U.S. income tax law limits the amount the Company can deduct for compensation paid to the CEO and the other four
most highly paid executives. Performance-based compensation that meets IRS requirements is not subject to this limit. In the future, the Compensation Committee will continue to evaluate the advisability of qualifying its executive compensation for
such deductibility.

|Item 12. | Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The following table sets forth certain information, as of April 6, 2004 except where noted, with respect to the beneficial
ownership of the Companys Common Stock by (i) all persons known by the Company to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, (ii) each director and director-nominee of the Company, (iii) each
person named in the Summary Compensation Table, and (iv) all executive officers and directors of the Company as a group.



Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). Under
this rule, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if
the person has the right to acquire shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided; in computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include
the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the following table does not necessarily reflect the
persons actual voting power at any particular date.

|-------- | -----------------------------------------------



On April 5, 2004, Brenda C. Rhodes, Chief Executive Officer, and Todd Kinion, Director, provided irrevocable letters of credit totaling $5,000,000 to CIT
Business Credit, Hall Kinions lender under a line of credit agreement, as collateral for additional financing for the Company. Hall Kinion agreed to pay to Ms. Rhodes and Mr. Kinion an aggregate fee of $200,000 for providing the letters
of credit, plus reimbursement of any costs incurred and reimbursement of any amounts drawn under the letters of credit.



In January 1999, the Company granted to Brenda C. Rhodes, Chief Executive Officer, a loan in the principal amount of $2,000,000 plus interest at the rate
of the Companys cost of borrowing plus 1/8% per annum, compounded monthly. The loan is secured by 433,030 shares of Common Stock of the Company having a value of at least 115% of the outstanding principal balance of the loan. The loan was
originally due in January 2002. In connection with Ms. Rhodes employment agreement, the loan will be forgiven in equal installments over a five-year period commencing January 1, 2001. The outstanding principal balance of the loan as of March
28, 2004 is $300,000.



In March 2001, the Company granted to
Rita S. Hazell, Senior Vice President, R&D Contract Services, a loan in the principal amount of $250,000 plus interest at 6.74%. Such loan is secured by a second deed of trust in favor of the Company on the real property purchased partially with
such borrowed funds. The loan will be forgiven in equal installments over a four-year period. The outstanding principal balance of the loan as of March 28, 2004 is $57,300.



During 2001 the Company entered into a sponsorship agreement with BayPac Racing, Inc. an entity that owns three racing
automobiles and is owned by the CEOs husband. The racing events were used by the Company as a marketing vehicle to entertain existing and potential clients. During 2002 and 2001, the Company paid BayPac Racing, Inc. $250,000 and $560,000,
respectively, for sponsorship agreements and an additional $4,000 in 2002 for related travel costs. There were no commitments or payments to BayPac in 2003.



Since the acquisition of OnStaff Inc. in August of 2002, the Company has engaged the services of Alhambra Reprographics for various printing needs.
Alhambra Reprographics is owned by an officers father-in-law and during 2002 and 2003, the Company purchased services totaling $7,000 and $171,000, respectively.



During 2002 the Company employed an officers sister within the Technology Sales Division and received total
consideration of $136,000 in exchange for services rendered during 2002 and a severance payment of $132,000 in 2003 in accordance with the Companys severance practices.



In August 2003, the Company hired the CEOs sister at an annual salary of $48,000.



The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its
officers and directors containing provisions that may require the Company, among other things, to indemnify such officers and directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as officers or directors (other
than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature), to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified and to obtain directors and officers liability
insurance if available on reasonable terms. The Company maintains an insurance policy covering officers and directors under which the insurer has agreed to pay the amount of any claim made against the officers or directors of the Company for
wrongful acts that such officers or directors may otherwise be required to pay or for which the Company is required to indemnify such officers and directors, subject to certain exclusions.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures



The Companys Audit Committee pre-approves all non-audit related
services provided by the Companys auditors. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year, is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to an estimated budget. The Audit Committee may also
pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis. In assessing requests for services by the independent accountants, the Audit Committee considers whether such services are consistent with the auditors independence, whether the
independent accountants are likely to provide the most effective and efficient service based on their familiarity with the Company and whether the service would enhance the Companys ability to control risk or improve audit quality. All of the
audit related, tax and other services provided by D&T in fiscal year 2003 described under Fees Paid to Independent Auditors were approved in advance by the Audit Committee.
