                                     PART I

Item 1:  Business

General

Right Management Consultants, Inc. (the "Company") is an international career
management and human resource consulting firm headquartered in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. Founded in 1980, the Company has been publicly owned since 1986.
The Company is the largest worldwide firm in the career management industry with
1998 revenues in excess of $168 million. Worldwide operations are structured
into seven geographic groups that provide management oversight to more than 170
service locations worldwide.

The Company licenses its Affiliates to use its service marks and licenses and
trains them to use its proprietary materials and methods. The Company receives
fees directly from employers for services rendered by Company offices and
royalties and fees from the Affiliates. The Company's fees for its services are
paid exclusively by the employer. The Company does not provide its services to
employees who are not sponsored by employers, since it is not a "retail" career
counseling firm or employment agency.

The Company's operations are divided into two lines of business: career
transition services, and human resources and career management consulting, which
specializes in change management, communication, strategy implementation, merger
integration and executive development.

Career Transition Services

The Company provided career transition services to approximately 5,200 client
companies during 1998, including a majority of the companies that comprise the
Fortune 500. No single customer or client accounted for a material amount of the
Company's business in 1998. Career transition services are divided into two
principal categories - Individual Outplacement Services and Group Outplacement
Services.

Individual Outplacement Services

The Company's individual outplacement services for the employer include advice
on conducting the termination interview, terms of severance pay and other
termination benefits. Services by the Company to terminated employees include
assistance in handling the initial difficulties of termination; identifying
continuing career goals and options and in planning an alternative career;
aiding in developing skills for the search for a new job, such as resume
writing, identifying and researching types of potential employers, preparing and
rehearsing for interviews; continuing consulting and motivation throughout the
job search campaign; assessing new employment offers and methods of accepting
such offers (including consideration of relocation issues) and, where
appropriate, consulting with the employee's spouse regarding the stresses of the
employment search and the positive role the spouse may play in all aspects of
the new job search, as well as assisting with financial planning and health
maintenance.
<PAGE>

Approximately 77% of the career transition revenue generated by Company offices
during 1998 was for individual outplacement services.

Group Outplacement Services

The remaining significant portion of the Company's career transition business
consists of providing consulting in group contexts for companies making group
reductions in their work force due to reorganization, restructuring or other
reasons. The Company's group programs have, as their core, seminars for
generally up to 12 employees per group, in sessions extending over one to five
days. Often, the group seminar is preceded or followed by individual counseling.
These group programs are designed for each employer-client and are generally
competitively priced and bid, based on the number of consulting hours, number of
employees involved and the type of programs to be provided. The group program
may also be used for "voluntary separation" due to reorganizations or other
reasons.

Approximately 23% of the career transition revenue generated by Company offices
during 1998 was for group outplacement services.

The career transition business in total, including individual and group
outplacement services, provided approximately 85% of total Company office
revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998.

Subsequent to December 31, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of N.V.
Claessens Belgium, S.A., a leading career transition firm with four offices in
Belgium.

See Note M to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details on this
transaction.

Human Resources and Career Management Consulting

The Company provides career management consulting services that assist employers
and their employees in identifying and improving areas of job performance,
refining communication skills and improving employee productivity. The Company
also provides human resource consulting to corporations on restructuring and
realignment issues, offering customized services to help manage all aspects of
organizational change, including planning, selection, retention strategy and
communication issues. Other services are designed to enhance the abilities of
executives and managers to evaluate employees' performance in making employment
and promotion decisions.

To broaden and diversify its business base, the Company has begun its commitment
to the consulting line of business by acquiring in 1996 the outstanding stock of
People Tech Consulting, Inc. ("PeopleTech"), a Canadian corporation. Since the
addition of People Tech's human resources consulting business to the Company's
previously established career management consulting practice, the Company has
continued to acquire firms with human resources consulting expertise.


                                       2
<PAGE>


During 1998, the Company made two acquisitions of consulting firms and entered
into an exclusive licensing agreement with another consulting firm. The
acquisitions of Manus Associates, a human resources consulting firm, and the
acquired 51% interest in Teams International, Inc., a technology-based
assessment firm, contributed diverse capabilities to the human resources
consulting practice. Areas of specialty include 360-degree feedback systems, the
development of competency models, leadership development, team-building, and
performance and pay management. The Company further expanded its exposure and
methodologies in the human resources and career management consulting practice
with an exclusive licensing agreement with The Atlanta Consulting Group, an
organizational consulting firm. The Company continues to integrate these
products and methodologies into its consulting business.

The consulting business in total, including career management consulting and
human resources consulting, provided approximately 15% of total Company office
revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998. No single customer or client
accounted for a material amount of business within the human resources and
career management consulting line of business in 1998.

Subsequent to December 31, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of two
European consulting firms, which will further strengthen its human resources
consulting practice internationally. The transactions include Groupe ARJ, with
offices in Paris and Lyon, France and Jouret Management Center located in
Brussels, Belgium.

See Note M to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details on these
transactions.

Fees for Services Provided by Company Offices

For individual career transition services provided by Company offices, the
Company normally receives a negotiated fee, depending upon the services
provided, which generally ranges between 10% and 20% of the terminated
employee's annual compensation. Fees for group career transition programs and
consulting projects are individually billed depending upon the type of services
the employer requests, the amount of consulting time required and the number of
employees involved.

Organization and Distribution of Company Offices and Affiliates

The current network of Company offices and Affiliates is outlined in the
Company's 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders, attached as Exhibit 13 hereto,
that portion of which is incorporated herein by reference.

Management of Company Offices and Affiliates

The Company believes that a decentralized approach of organizing its business
into geographic groups and related regions, which may be comprised of more than
one Company office or Affiliate office, allows the Company to be responsive to
individual clients, as well as allowing it to better serve its local and
regional markets. Each region is responsible for the marketing and sales of
career transition and consulting activities in its assigned area. Through the
Company's Affiliate network arrangement, the Company's clients have access to
the entire Company network of Company offices and Affiliates. See "Business -
Affiliate Arrangements."

                                       3
<PAGE>

Affiliate Arrangements

The Basic Affiliate Relationship

The Company has previously entered into agreements with Affiliates ("Affiliate
Agreements"), which are independent franchisee businesses, to provide the
Company's career transition and consulting services within the geographic area
defined in each Affiliate Agreement (the "Exclusive Territory"). Affiliates
render such services exclusively under the Company's registered service marks,
including "Right Associates(R)". Under the Affiliate Agreements, the Company
assists the Affiliates in various ways in the provision of career transition and
consulting services. The Company has no present intention to enter into any
additional Affiliate Agreements.

Under the Affiliate Agreements, the Company is precluded from establishing or
maintaining Company offices or otherwise soliciting customers, providing
consulting services or licensing other Affiliates to operate in the Exclusive
Territory of a particular Affiliate. In turn, the Affiliate is prohibited from
establishing or maintaining its own offices or "satellites" soliciting customers
or engaging in career transition or consulting services within Exclusive
Territories which the Company currently or in the future grants or assigns to
Company offices.

There is not a formal Affiliate organization; however, a Management Advisory
Committee (the "Advisory Committee") exists which considers matters of general
concern to the Affiliates. The Advisory Committee is comprised of four members
appointed by the Company's management and three members elected by the
Affiliates for a three year term.


Company Training of Affiliates

The Affiliate Agreements require the Company to train the Affiliate and its
employees in marketing and delivering career transition and consulting services.
The Company is responsible for overall guidance and has established Company
standards and policies relating to its services. The Company provides
proprietary sales and consulting materials, administrative forms (including,
among other things, guidelines for consulting client-employers and terminated
employees), materials used in conjunction with marketing the services and
administration of its office and materials relating to the Company's system of
monitoring the progress of terminated employees. The Company provides guidance,
if requested by the Affiliates, with respect to the hiring of the Affiliates'
employees, the use and development of sales programs and general issues of
office operation and sales. The cost of such optional assistance by the Company
is paid by the Affiliate, unless the Company otherwise agrees not to charge for
these services. The Company also provides marketing support, public relations,
advertising and promotional support, consisting of national and international
media efforts directed by an in-house marketing staff.

                                       4
<PAGE>

Affiliates' Payment of Fees and Royalties to Company

In consideration of the Company providing services, training and licensing the
use of its federally-registered service mark, the Affiliate generally pays to
the Company the following fees (which are not in the order of their contribution
to Company revenue): (1) a one-time non-refundable initial Affiliate (franchise)
fee; (2) a 10% royalty on the Affiliate's total gross receipts; (3) a fee for
services rendered in assisting the Affiliate in selling the Company's programs
to the employer-client; and (4) a fee for services rendered in providing career
transition services to terminated employees on certain contracts and accounts
sold and managed by Affiliates.

Term, Supervision and Termination of Affiliate Agreements

The Company's Affiliate Agreements provide for an initial term of three or five
years and are automatically renewed from year to year unless either party gives
the other notice of non-renewal (which may be without cause) at least 120 days
prior to the expiration of the then current term (unless a longer notice period
is required by local franchise laws).

During the term of the Affiliate Agreement, the Company may terminate the
arrangement, subject to local franchise laws and cure periods specified in the
Affiliate Agreements, for a variety of reasons, including a material breach of
such Agreement by the Affiliate, the failure by the Affiliate to achieve at
least 75% of the minimum volume of business set forth in its Affiliate Agreement
in any year of the Affiliate's operation or the Affiliate's failure to otherwise
conduct normal business operations diligently and regularly or to use its best
efforts to sell and provide career transition consulting services, or the
Affiliate's failure to adhere to the written service standards established by
the Company in consultation with the Advisory Committee. The Company may also
terminate an Affiliate Agreement due to the death, disability or retirement of
key Affiliate personnel or of principal shareholders of an Affiliate.

The Company has offered and implemented with substantially all of its existing
North American Affiliates an addendum to their respective Affiliate Agreements.
Under the terms of the addendum, the Company relinquishes its right to give
notice of non-renewal of the Affiliate's Affiliate Agreement upon the expiration
of its initial or one of its renewal terms. However, the Advisory Committee is
empowered to terminate, upon specified grounds, the Affiliate Agreement of
Affiliates who sign the addendum. In addition, the addendum permits the Company
to terminate the Affiliate Agreement of any Affiliate if certain trends in the
volume of business generated by the Affiliate deviate by more than specified
amounts below the comparably defined trends for all North American offices of
the Company and its Affiliates measured as a group.



                                       5
<PAGE>

The Company has agreed with substantially all of its existing North American
Affiliates that in the event the Company offers to any other North American
Affiliate any provision in the Affiliate Agreement with such other North
American Affiliate which is more beneficial to such other North American
Affiliate than the terms of the existing Affiliate Agreements with the rest of
the current North American Affiliates, then the new provision will be offered to
all existing North American Affiliates, except for provisions added or deleted
to (a) comply with a particular state or provincial law or regulation; (b)
maintain in force prior agreements with specific Affiliates; or (c) address the
unique nature or character of other businesses or activities engaged in by a
specific Affiliate.

Affiliates' Right of First Refusal

Pursuant to the Affiliate Agreements, the Affiliates may have a right of first
refusal to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock in case of certain
proposed sales or exchanges of the Company's Common Stock. Under the terms of
the Affiliate Agreements, in the event that 51% or more of the Common Stock of
the Company is proposed to be sold by one or more shareholders of the Company in
a single transaction (exclusive of a corporate merger or consolidation in which
the Company is not the surviving party and transactions in which the common
stock of another company is exchanged for the Common Stock of the Company), the
Affiliates may have a right of first refusal to acquire the Common Stock of the
Company being sold under the same terms as the proposed transaction.

Acquisitions

During 1998, the Company completed two separate consulting acquisitions and
entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with a third consulting firm. See
Note C to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of
the acquisitions. The total purchase price for these acquisitions aggregated
approximately $6,285,000, including the costs of acquisitions. The acquisitions
were consummated through combinations of cash and future defined incentives,
including the assumption of incomplete consulting contracts.

During the period 1991 through 1997, the Company completed twenty-six separate
acquisitions of career transition and consulting firms for combinations of cash,
future defined incentives, incomplete career transition contracts and other
considerations. The total purchase price for these transactions aggregated
approximately $39,660,000, including the costs of acquisitions.

During the period 1991 through 1998, the total number of acquisitions completed
by the Company included ten former Affiliates. At December 31,1998, there were
five Affiliate regions remaining in the Company's network of offices.


                                       6

Government Regulation

Certain aspects of the on-going relationship between the Company and the
Affiliates are subject to the franchise regulations of the Federal Trade
Commission (the "FTC") and to various franchise laws enacted by certain of the
states in which the Company's Affiliates are located. The provisions and scope
of the state laws vary. In some states, the Company is required to register the
offering of the Affiliate Agreements with regulatory agencies and to license
Company personnel who are directly involved in offering the Affiliate Agreement
to prospective Affiliates. Some states also regulate certain terms of the
Affiliate Agreement, primarily the terms upon which the Company can terminate an
Affiliate Agreement for cause or can decline to renew an Affiliate Agreement
upon expiration. Other states' laws impose on the Company general duties of fair
dealing with the Affiliates and prohibit unfair discrimination among or against
Affiliates. As a result of such laws regulating relationships with the
Affiliates in certain states, the Company has less flexibility than it would
otherwise have in structuring such relationships. As part of the Company's
operating strategy, new Affiliates are not being sought and the Company will
likely acquire the remaining Affiliate territories when and if they become
available.

Financial Information Relating to Foreign Operations

See the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, Note L, "Segments"
contained in the Company's 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders, the incorporated
portions of which are included as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K (the "Report"),
for information regarding the Company's foreign operations. This information is
responsive to Item 101(d) of Regulation S-K and is incorporated by reference
herein.

Employees

At February 28, 1999, the Company and its subsidiaries employed 978 persons
full-time, including 15 in senior management, 68 in other managerial and
professional roles, 562 in field operations as consultants, and 333 in clerical
capacities. In addition, the Company employed 428 persons on a part-time basis
as professional consultants. Consultants are generally required to have prior
executive or management experience and are provided Company training. None of
the Company's employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements. In
general, the Company believes that its employee relations are good.

Risk Factors

In addition to the other matters discussed elsewhere in this Report, the
following risk factors should be taken into account in evaluating the Company
and its business:



                                       7
<PAGE>

1.   Government Regulation: In connection with its arrangement with its
     Affiliates, the Company devotes resources to complying with state and
     federal franchise laws and regulations. The Company believes that its
     practices and procedures are not in violation of the material provisions of
     such state and federal laws and it has not received notices of material
     claims or assertions from Affiliates regarding non-compliance.
     Nevertheless, the Company's past practices may give rise to possible
     liability, and given the scope of the Company's business and the nature of
     franchise regulation, compliance problems could be encountered in the
     future. For a discussion of the Company's past and current compliance with
     state and federal franchising laws, other regulatory aspects of the
     Company's relations with its Affiliates and possible liability of the
     Company for certain of its past activities, see "Business - Government
     Regulation."

     Although career transition and human resource consulting services are not
     currently specifically subject to state or federal regulation, the Company
     is aware that such regulation has been considered by the legislatures of
     several states. There can be no assurance that such regulation will not be
     adopted in the future.

2.   Relations with Affiliates: The Company's revenue depends in part on
     royalties and fees paid by Affiliates. Under the current Affiliate
     Agreements, royalties equal 10% of the Affiliate's total gross receipts.
     The fees paid by Affiliates to the Company vary depending on the services
     provided by the Company. The Company believes that the 10% royalty is
     reasonable and currently has no plans to reduce it, although there can be
     no assurance that royalties will continue to be maintained at such level
     under all circumstances. The Company believes that its relations with its
     Affiliates are good; however, there can be no assurance that such relations
     will remain so. A deterioration of these relationships among the Company
     and its Affiliates, or among the Affiliates themselves, or an inability to
     collect royalties and fees payable to the Company or payable by one
     Affiliate to another could materially adversely effect the Company. See
     "Business - Affiliate Arrangements."

3.   Possible Effects of Change in Company Control and Possible Future Issuance
     of Preferred Stock: Under certain circumstances and pursuant to its
     Affiliate Agreements, upon certain contemplated sales of 51% or more of the
     Company's outstanding Common Stock, or a Company merger, consolidation or
     reorganization, the Affiliates may have a right of first refusal to acquire
     the Common Stock of the Company being sold or exchanged, on the same terms
     as the proposed transaction with a third party. In addition, under the
     Affiliate Agreements and under certain circumstances, upon sales of 51% or
     more of the Company's assets or capital stock in one or more transactions,
     or a Company merger, consolidation or reorganization, then, regardless of
     the time remaining on the term of such Affiliate's current Affiliate
     Agreement, the term of such Affiliate Agreement is automatically altered to
     either (i) one year, with the Affiliate also having an option to renew the
     Affiliate Agreement for an additional four year period upon the expiration
     of such one year term, or (ii) five years, extending from the date of such
     transaction, merger, consolidation or reorganization.



                                       8
<PAGE>

     Also, in the event of such transaction or reorganization, under the
     Company's Employment Agreements with its executive officers, such officers
     have an option to extend the term of their respective Employment Agreement
     for an additional two years.

     The Company's Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to
     1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, at the discretion of the Board of
     Directors. The Board of Directors may also fix from time to time in the
     future, the designations, limitations, and preferences for any such series
     of Preferred Stock issuance, without any further vote or action by
     shareholders.

     The Affiliates' right of first refusal and the alteration of the term of
     their Affiliate Agreements, or the executive officers' right to extend the
     term of their Employment Agreements, or the issuance of Preferred Stock at
     the discretion of the Board of Directors may make the Company less
     attractive to an entity or group considering acquiring control of the
     Company or may make an acquisition materially more difficult, resulting in
     a lower acquisition price per share, or may otherwise materially adversely
     affect an investment in the Company's Common Stock.

4.   Competition: The Company competes against other providers of career
     transition services and other human resource consulting services. Based on
     consolidated revenues for 1998, the Company has maintained its status as
     the world's largest provider of career management services. However, the
     Company's primary national and international competitors are divisions of
     companies much larger than the Company, and these competitors may have
     access to financial and other resources substantially greater than those
     available to the Company.

     The Company believes that the principal methods of competition in its
     industry are quality of service, professional staff and price. On a
     regional basis, the Company also competes against local career transition
     and other human resources and career management consulting firms that are
     well-established in a particular region. The Company believes that the cost
     for its services are competitive, based on the quality and value of
     services offered. The Company may also face competition from future
     expansion by other entities into the career transition and other human
     resource and career management consulting businesses.

5.   Dependence on Personnel: As with other service businesses, the Company
     depends upon the continued services of its executive, sales, and consulting
     personnel. The loss of these personnel, or an inability to attract and
     retain new qualified personnel or to retain qualified Affiliates, could
     have an adverse impact on the Company.

6.   Risks Related to the Company's Acquisition Strategy: The Company has grown
     both internally and through acquisitions, and intends to continue to grow
     by both of these methods. Historically, the Company has primarily acquired
     outside firms within the highly fragmented career transition services
     industry. See "Business - Acquisitions." In future periods, the Company
     will continue to consider opportunistic acquisitions of career transition
     providers. However, it is more likely that the Company will look to acquire
     other consulting service providers, thereby allowing the Company to
     continue to diversify its range of services provided.




                                       9
<PAGE>

      Increased competition for acquisition candidates may develop, in which
      case there may be fewer acquisition opportunities available to the
      Company, as well as higher acquisition prices. There can be no assurance
      that the Company will be able to continue to identify, acquire, or
      profitably manage additional businesses or successfully integrate acquired
      businesses, if any, without substantial costs, delays or other operational
      or financial problems. Further, acquisitions involve a number of special
      risks, including possible adverse effects on the Company's operating
      results, diversion of management's attention, failure to retain key
      acquired personnel, risks associated with unanticipated events or
      liabilities and amortization of acquired tangible and intangible assets,
      some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
      business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition,
      there can be no assurances that the Company's existing business or future
      acquisitions will achieve anticipated revenues and earnings.

7.    Economic Conditions on a Local, Regional, National, and International
      Basis: The demand for the Company's services, primarily career transition
      services, is impacted by the overall economic strength on a local,
      regional, national and international basis. In general, a stronger economy
      can lead to easier and more rapid job change and reentry, which can reduce
      the demand for the Company's services or compress the length of the
      services provided, thereby negatively impacting prices. Weaker economic
      conditions can also lead to reluctance on outside companies' part to incur
      the expenditure associated with the Company's services.

Item 2:  Properties

All office space for Company offices is leased. The leases typically have three
to five year terms and some have renewal options. The Company leases
approximately 675,000 square feet for all Company offices, including the
corporate headquarters, at an aggregate yearly rental cost of approximately

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Right Management Consultants, Inc.:


We have audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
consolidated financial statements of Right Management Consultants, Inc. and
subsidiaries included in this Form 10-K and have issued our report thereon dated
February 2, 1999. Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on
those financial statements taken as a whole. The financial statement schedule
listed on page 17 is the responsibility of the Company's management and is
presented for the purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all
material respects, the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
