At this special meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon an
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 1, 1998, as amended, between
Source and Romac International, Inc. ("Romac"), whereby each outstanding share
of Source common stock will be converted into the right to receive 1.1932 shares
of Romac common stock, and outstanding options to purchase Source common stock

in each case subject to adjustment as described in the enclosed Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus.

Your Board of Directors has carefully reviewed and considered the terms and
conditions of the Merger and is excited to present this opportunity to you, our
stockholders. Your Board has received the opinion of The Robinson-Humphrey
Company LLC, its financial advisor, that, as of February 1, 1998, the exchange
ratio was fair to Source from a financial point of view. A copy of this opinion
is attached as Appendix II to the accompanying Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SOURCE HAS DETERMINED THAT THE MERGER IS IN THE
BEST INTERESTS OF OUR STOCKHOLDERS. ACCORDINGLY, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE MERGER.

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT. The Merger cannot be completed unless the
stockholders of both companies vote in favor of the proposal. We have scheduled
this special meeting specifically for our stockholders to vote on the Merger. To
assure your representation at the special meeting, please complete, sign and
date the enclosed proxy card and return it in the enclosed white prepaid
envelope marked "Proxy." This will allow your shares to be voted whether or not
you attend the meeting. The proxy is revocable by a holder at any time before
its exercise. The giving of the proxy will not affect such holders' rights to
vote in person, if the holder attends the meeting.

Sincerely yours,

D. Les Ward
President & Chief Executive Officer

33602, for the following purposes:

1. To consider and vote on a proposal (the "Source Proposal") to
approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 1, 1998, as
amended February 11, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement") between Romac and
Source.

2. To transact such other business as may properly come before the
Source Meeting.

Source has fixed the close of business on March 9, 1998, as the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the Source Meeting or

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE TO

entitled to vote at the Source Meeting. Please sign and promptly return the

JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

MERGER PROPOSED -- YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

If the Merger between Source and Romac is completed, Source stockholders
will receive 1.1932 shares of Romac Common Stock, for each share of Source
Common Stock, that they own (the "Exchange Ratio"), subject to adjustment based
on Romac's stock price prior to closing (the "Merger Consideration"). Romac
shareholders will continue to own their existing shares after the Merger. The
shares of Romac Common Stock to be issued to Source stockholders will represent
approximately 35% of the outstanding stock of Romac immediately after the
Merger. The shares of Romac Common Stock held by Romac shareholders before the
Merger will represent approximately 65% of the outstanding stock of Romac after
the Merger.

The Merger cannot be completed unless the shareholders of both companies
vote in favor of the proposals. We have scheduled meetings for our shareholders
to vote on the Merger. YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT.

Whether or not you plan to attend a meeting, please take the time to vote
by completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card to us. If you sign, date, and
mail your proxy card without indicating how you want to vote, your proxy will be
counted as a vote in favor of the Merger and, in the case of Romac shareholders,
for the director nominees and other proposals being considered at the Romac
Meeting. If you fail to return your card, the effect in most cases will be a
vote against the Merger and other proposals.

The dates, times, and places of the meetings are as follows:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ROMAC/SOURCE MERGER

Q: WHY ARE THE TWO COMPANIES PROPOSING TO MERGE? HOW WILL I BENEFIT?

A: This Merger means that you will have an ownership interest in a major
professional specialty staffing organization. The merged company (referred
to in this document as "New Romac") will have over 80 offices with a
presence in 25 major domestic markets, 18 secondary domestic markets, and
one international market. The size and geographic scope of the combined
operation are intended to position New Romac to be the preferred vendor for
professional specialty staffing services nationally. We believe that this
Merger will allow New Romac to grow and create shareholder value in years
to come. To review the reasons for the Merger in greater detail, and
related uncertainties, see "Proposal 1 -- The Merger -- Reasons for the
Merger, Recommendations of the Boards" on page 32. Also see "Risk Factors"
on page 18.

Q: WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NOW?

A: Just mail your signed proxy card in the enclosed return envelope as soon as
possible, so that your shares will be represented at the annual or special
meeting, as the case may be. The Romac and Source meetings will take place
on April 20, 1998. The Boards of Directors of both Romac and Source
unanimously recommend voting in favor of the Merger.

Q: SHOULD I SEND IN MY STOCK CERTIFICATES NOW?

A: No. If the Merger is completed, we will send Source stockholders written
instructions for exchanging their stock certificates. Romac shareholders
will keep their certificates. To review the exchange process in greater
detail, see "The Merger Agreement -- Exchange of Certificates" on page 46.

Q: WHAT IS THE EXCHANGE RATIO?

A: If the market price of Romac Common Stock (based on a weighted average
during the 15 trading days ending the third day before the closing of the
Merger) is between $20.00 and $24.00, Source stockholders will receive
1.1932 shares of Romac Common Stock for each share of Source Common Stock.
If the market price of Romac Common Stock is below or above these amounts,
then the Exchange Ratio floats to give Source stockholders a fixed value of
$23.86 or $28.64 per share. Romac may terminate the Merger Agreement,
however, if the weighted average market price of Romac Common Stock is
below $20.00 per share during that 15-day period. The weighted average
market price of Romac Common Stock during the 15 trading days ending March
24, 1998 was $25.88. If that 15 trading-day period were the applicable
measurement period under the Merger Agreement, the holder of 100 shares of
Source Common Stock would receive 110 shares of Romac Common Stock plus
$17.13 in cash.

Romac will not issue fractional shares. Source stockholders who would
otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will instead receive
cash based on the market value of the fractional share of Romac Common
Stock that they otherwise would receive.

For example, if you currently own 100 shares of Source Common Stock, then
after the Merger you will be entitled to receive 119 shares of Romac Common
Stock and a check for the market value of the .32 fractional share,
assuming the weighted average market price of the Romac Common Stock during
the 15-day period ending shortly before the closing is between $20.00 and
$24.00 per share. If you currently own 100 shares of Romac Common Stock,
then you will continue to hold those 100 shares after the Merger.

The shares of Romac Common Stock and cash for fractional shares to be
received by Source stockholders in the Merger is sometimes called the
"Merger Consideration" in this document. To review the terms of the
Exchange Ratio in greater detail, see "The Merger
Agreement -- Consideration to be Received in the Merger" on page 46.

Q: WHEN DO YOU EXPECT THE MERGER TO BE COMPLETED?

A: We are working toward completing the Merger as quickly as possible. We hope
to complete the Merger as early as April 20, 1998.

Q: WHAT ARE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO SHAREHOLDERS?

A: The receipt of Romac shares by Source stockholders will be free from
immediate federal income tax to Source stockholders, except for taxes on
cash received for a fractional share. The Merger will be tax-free to Romac
shareholders for federal income tax purposes. To review the tax
consequences of the Merger in greater detail, see "Proposal 1 -- The
Merger -- Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" on page 34.

SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information from this document. It may not
contain all the information that is important to you. To understand the Merger
fully and for a more complete description of the legal terms of the Merger, you
should carefully read this entire document and the documents we have referred
you to.

ROMAC

ROMAC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
120 West Hyde Park Place
Suite 150
Tampa, Florida 33606
(813) 251-1700

Romac is a national provider of professional specialty staffing services in
19 markets in the United States. Romac strives to shape valuable business
relationships between organizations and the knowledgeable people who make them
successful. To better service the needs of its customers, Romac provides its
customers value-added services in the following specialties: Information
Technology, Finance and Accounting, Human Resources, and Operating Specialties.
Romac believes its broad range of highly specialized services provides clients
with integrated solutions to their staffing needs, allowing Romac to develop
long-term, consultative relationships. Romac principally serves Fortune 1000
clients, with its top ten clients representing approximately 10% of its revenue
for 1997. Romac believes its functional focus and range of service offerings
generate increased placement opportunities and enhance Romac's ability to
identify, attract, retain, develop, and motivate highly skilled professional and
technical personnel, who possess the skills and experience necessary to meet the
permanent, temporary, and contract ("flexible") staffing requirements of its
clients ("personnel"). In addition, Romac believes that its functional focus and
range of service offerings enhance its ability to identify, attract, retain,
develop, and motivate its management, client services, and personnel recruiting
employees ("operating employees").

Romac's objective is to be the nationally recognized leader of strategic
professional staffing and related consulting services. Romac strives to
differentiate itself from others in the staffing industry through innovative
service offerings and high quality of service. Romac's major accounts program
encourages large users of staffing services to "carve-out" the professional and
technical segments of their staffing contracts and award such business to Romac
instead of large generalist staffing firms.

By organizing around functional areas and having the ability to offer
personnel both flexible staffing and permanent placement opportunities, Romac
believes it has a recruiting and retention advantage over its competitors. Romac
also believes the ROMAC(R) name recognition, coupled with its selected industry
expertise and innovative use of technology, provide it with a competitive
advantage. Because of Romac's access to challenging assignments and its
innovative training program in new technology, Romac believes it attracts and
retains personnel who are seeking to enhance or change their skills. By becoming
the "career agent" for those knowledge workers, Romac believes it has become the
KnowledgeForce Resource(TM).

SOURCE

SOURCE SERVICES CORPORATION
5580 LBJ Freeway
Suite 300
Dallas, Texas 75240
(972) 385-3002

Source is a specialty staffing services firm that provides flexible
staffing and permanent placement of professional and skilled personnel primarily
in the areas of information technology, accounting and finance, and engineering.
Source has recently expanded its service offerings to include the staffing of
professional and skilled personnel in the areas of health care and legal
services. Source believes that the ability to provide both flexible staffing and
permanent placement of professional and skilled personnel in a broad spectrum of
fields enables it to present integrated solutions to its clients' staffing needs
and to attract qualified candidates. Source also believes that the staffing of
professional and skilled personnel in specialty niches generally includes
assignments that are longer term than typical clerical temporary placement and
offers Source the opportunity for greater growth and higher profitability.
Source has offices in 55 markets throughout the United States and one in Canada.

Founded in 1962, Source began its operations as a provider of permanent
placement services to the information technology industry. Using the resources
and relationships that it developed as a provider of permanent placement
services, Source
<PAGE> 10

in 1991 shifted the focus of its service offerings to flexible staffing
services. Today, Source's flexible staffing business benefits greatly from its
experience in providing permanent placement services.

Over its 36 years, Source has developed expertise in the recruitment and
selection of professional and skilled personnel to satisfy client requests.
Source currently maintains a database of over one million potential candidates
and uses proprietary technology to match these candidates with its clients'
specific needs. In addition, each of Source's sales associates has a background
in one of Source's areas of specialization, thereby promoting a better
understanding of the needs of Source's clients and providing Source an advantage
in its recruiting efforts.

REASONS FOR THE MERGER

Immediately after the Merger, New Romac will have a presence in 25 major
domestic markets, 18 secondary domestic markets, and one international market.
The separate companies have very little duplication in customers served and
market penetration, which will allow the combined company to be one of the
nation's largest professional specialty staffing organizations in terms of
geographic coverage. The size and geographic coverage of New Romac will allow it
to service customers with multi-location requirements more efficiently.

In reaching its recommendation in favor of the Merger, each of our Boards
of Directors considered a number of factors and uncertainties. These included
the challenges of combining the businesses of two independent corporations and
the risk of diverting management resources from other strategic opportunities
and operational matters for an extended period. The separate companies believe
that the depth of management after the Merger, as well as the opportunities
provided by the Merger, will mitigate the challenges associated with combining
the two companies. To review the reasons for the Merger in greater detail, as
well as related uncertainties, see "Proposal 1 -- The Merger -- Reasons for the
Merger; Recommendations of the Board" on page 32.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS

TO ROMAC SHAREHOLDERS:

The Romac Board believes that the Merger is in your best interest and
unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the proposal to approve the issuance of
shares of Romac Common Stock to Source stockholders in the Merger.

TO SOURCE STOCKHOLDERS:

The Source Board believes that the Merger is in your best interest and
unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the proposal to approve and adopt the
Merger Agreement and the Merger.

THE MERGER

The Merger Agreement is attached as Appendix I to this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus. We encourage you to read the Merger Agreement, as it is
the legal document that governs the Merger.

WHAT SOURCE STOCKHOLDERS WILL RECEIVE

As a result of the Merger, Source stockholders will receive the Merger
Consideration. No fractional shares will be issued. Instead, Source stockholders
will receive a check in payment for any fractional shares based on the market
value of the Romac Common Stock. Source's Profit Sharing Plan also owns shares
of Source Common Stock and will receive the same Merger Consideration as other
Source stockholders.

Source stockholders should not send in their stock certificates until
instructed to do so after the Merger is completed. To review the exchange
process in greater detail, see "The Merger Agreement -- Exchange of
Certificates" on page 46.

OWNERSHIP OF ROMAC FOLLOWING THE MERGER

Romac expects that it will issue approximately 16.4 million shares of Romac
Common Stock to Source stockholders in the Merger if the Exchange Ratio between
the Romac Common Stock and the Source Common Stock is not adjusted, in which
case the shares of Romac Common Stock issued to Source stockholders in the
Merger will constitute approximately 35% of the outstanding stock of Romac after
the Merger.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND MANAGEMENT OF ROMAC FOLLOWING THE MERGER

If the Merger is completed, David L. Dunkel will continue as Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of Romac and James D. Swartz will continue as
President and Chief Operating Officer. We also expect that after the Merger, D.
Les Ward, who is

2
<PAGE> 11

the President and Chief Executive Officer of Source, will join the Romac Board
and will assist with the integration of the two companies and special projects.

The Romac Board will consist of 10 members, seven chosen by Romac and three
chosen from the Source Board pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

OTHER INTERESTS OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS IN THE MERGER

If the Merger is completed, D. Les Ward, President and Chief Executive
Officer, and Richard M. Dupont, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, of
Source, will have employment agreements with Romac that provide them with
interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, yours. For
more information concerning the employment and other arrangements with Source
officers, see "Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger" on page 45.

CONDITIONS TO THE MERGER

The completion of the Merger depends upon meeting a number of conditions,
including the following:

- the approval of the Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of the
shares of Source;

- the approval of the issuance of Romac Common Stock pursuant to the Merger
Agreement by the holders of a majority of the shares voted by Romac
shareholders;

- the shares of Romac Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Merger
Agreement shall have been authorized for listing on Nasdaq;

- there shall have been no law enacted or injunction entered that
effectively prohibits the Merger or that causes a material adverse effect
on either of our companies;

- the receipt of favorable legal opinions; and

- the receipt of letters from Romac's independent accountants stating that
the Merger will qualify for pooling of interests accounting treatment.

Certain of the conditions to the Merger may be waived by the company
entitled to assert the condition.

TERMINATION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT
We can agree to terminate the Merger Agreement without completing the
Merger, and either company may terminate the Merger Agreement, if any of the
following occurs:

- the Merger is not completed by June 30, 1998;

- any statutory law, ordinance, rule, or regulation makes consummation of
the Merger illegal;

- a court or other governmental authority permanently prohibits the Merger;

- the approvals of the holders of the stock of either Romac or Source by
the requisite vote are not received; or

- the other party breaches or materially fails to comply with any of its
representations or warranties or obligations under the Merger Agreement.

Source may terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into an unsolicited
significant transaction with a third party, if its Board's fiduciary obligations
require acceptance of such transaction. In this case, for the termination to be
effective, (i) Source and its legal and financial advisors must negotiate with
Romac to adjust the terms of the Merger Agreement so that Romac can proceed with
the Merger, and (ii) Source must pay Romac a termination fee of $12 million.

Romac may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Source Board:

- withdraws or modifies in any adverse manner its approval or
recommendation in favor of the Merger;

- approves or recommends a significant transaction with a third party; or

- fails to recommend against or takes no position with respect to a
significant tender offer.

Romac may also terminate the Merger Agreement if the weighted average price
of Romac's Common Stock during the 15 trading days ending the third day
preceding the closing of the Merger is less than $20.00 per share.

3
<PAGE> 12

TERMINATION FEES

The Merger Agreement requires Source to pay to Romac a termination fee of
$12 million if the Merger Agreement terminates because (i) the Merger is not
completed by June 30, 1998 and a significant transaction having a value per
share of the Source Common Stock exceeding that in the Merger Agreement is
consummated within nine months of termination of the Merger Agreement, (ii)
Source's Board withdraws, modifies, or changes its recommendation in favor of
the Merger or recommends another significant transaction, (iii) Source fails to
recommend against or takes no position regarding a tender offer or exchange
offer for 30% of Source commenced by any third-party and such a transaction is
consummated within nine months of termination of the Merger Agreement, (iv)
Source enters into a definitive agreement for a significant transaction, (v) the
Source stockholders fail to approve the transaction and a significant
transaction is publicly proposed before termination of the Merger Agreement and
such transaction is consummated within nine months of such termination, or (vi)
Source materially breaches a representation, warranty, or agreement that Source
can, but does not, cure within 30 days after written notice of such breach and
Source consummates a significant transaction within nine months of such
termination.

The Merger Agreement also requires Romac or Source to pay to the other an
additional $1.5 million if its shareholders fail to approve the Merger Agreement
and as a result the Merger Agreement is terminated by the other party.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

We expect the Merger to qualify as a pooling of interests, which means that
we will treat our companies as if they had always been combined for accounting
and financial reporting purposes. We have received an opinion from Price
Waterhouse LLP, Romac's independent accountants, to the effect that the Merger

In deciding to approve the Merger, our Boards considered opinions from our
respective financial advisors concerning the fairness of the Exchange Ratio from
a financial point of view. Source received a written opinion of
Robinson-Humphrey, dated February 1, 1998, that, as of such date, the Exchange
Ratio was fair to holders of Source Common Stock from a financial point of view.
Robinson-Humphrey's written opinion describes the procedures followed,
assumptions made, limitations on the review undertaken, and other matters
considered in connection with rendering such opinion. The full text of the
written opinion appears as Appendix II to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus
and should be read in its entirety by holders of Source Common Stock.
Robinson-Humphrey (and certain other firms that facilitated the transaction)
will be paid a fee of $3.2 million if the Merger is completed and $425,000 if it
is not. For additional information regarding the opinion of Robinson-Humphrey
and a discussion of the qualifications of Robinson-Humphrey, the method of its
selection as independent financial advisors the Source Board, its compensation,
and certain relationships between Source and Robinson-Humphrey, see "Opinions of
Financial Advisors" on page 36.

The Romac Board has received a written opinion of Baird, dated January 30,
1998, that, as of such date, the Exchange Ratio was fair, from a financial point
of view, to Romac. The full text of Baird's written opinion describes the
procedures followed, assumptions made, limitations on the review undertaken, and
other matters considered in connection with rendering such opinion. The full
text of the written opinion appears as Appendix III to this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus and should be read in its entirety by holders of Romac
Common Stock. Baird will be paid a fee of $2.4 million if the Merger is
consummated and $225,000 if it is not. For additional information regarding the
opinion of Baird and a discussion of the qualifications of Baird, the method of
its selection as independent financial advisor to the Romac Board, its
compensation, and certain relationships between Romac and Baird, see "Opinions
of Financial Advisors" on page 36.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

We have structured the Merger so that neither Romac, Source, nor our
shareholders will recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes in
the Merger (except for tax payable because of cash received by Source
stockholders instead of fractional shares). We have conditioned the Merger on
our receipt of a legal opinion from Holland & Knight LLP to this effect.

(1) Source's Common Stock began trading on July 30, 1996.

On January 30, 1998, the last full trading day before the public
announcement of the proposed Merger, the last trade price on Nasdaq was $22.375
per share of Romac Common Stock and $21.125 per share of Source Common Stock
($26.699 on an equivalent pro forma basis). On March 24, 1998, the most recent

the weighted average sales prices of Romac Common Stock, as quoted on Nasdaq,
for the 15 consecutive trading days ending on the third day before the Merger.
See "The Merger Agreement -- Consideration to be Received in the Merger" on page
46. Shareholders are urged to obtain current market quotations before making any
decision with respect to the Merger.

Since their initial public offerings, neither Romac nor Source has paid any
cash dividends on its common stock.

The Merger will not be consummated unless the shares of Romac Common Stock
to be issued in the Merger are authorized for listing on Nasdaq. See "The Merger
Agreement -- Certain Conditions" on page 47.

SELECTED HISTORICAL AND UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

SOURCES OF INFORMATION

We are providing the following selected financial data concerning Romac and
Source to help you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Merger. This
data was derived from the audited financial statements for Romac and Source for
the periods presented.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial data reflects the combined
operating results and financial position for Romac and Source as of and for each
of the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 as if Romac and Source had
been combined since January 1, 1995. The columns of unaudited pro forma combined
statements of operations data for the year ended December 31, 1997 also give
effect to business combinations completed by Romac in 1997 as if they had been
completed as of January 1, 1997.

This information is only a summary, and you should read it in conjunction
with the financial information included or incorporated by reference in this
Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. See "Where You Can Find More Information" on
page 91 and the "Romac Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information" on
page 11.

HOW THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA WAS PREPARED

The unaudited pro forma combined financial data is presented to show you
how Romac and Source might have looked if Romac and Source had been combined
since January 1, 1995. The unaudited pro forma financial data was prepared using
the pooling of interests method of accounting, which means that for accounting
and financial reporting purposes Romac will treat Romac and Source as if they
had always been combined. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations also
includes the results of operations for the acquisitions completed by Romac in
1997 as if they had been acquired as of January 1, 1997. For a more detailed
description of pooling of interests accounting, see "Proposal 1 -- The
Merger -- Accounting Treatment" on page 33.

If the companies had been combined in the past, they might have performed
differently. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma financial data as an
indication of the results that would have been achieved if the merger had taken
place earlier or the results that Romac will experience after the Merger. See
"Romac Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information" on page 10.

MERGER-RELATED EXPENSES

Romac and Source estimate that the Merger will result in certain fees and
expenses ranging from $8 to $10 million. After the Merger, Romac may incur
additional charges and expenses relating to restructuring and integrating the
operations of Romac and Source. We did not adjust the unaudited pro forma
information for these restructuring charges and integration expenses or for
efficiencies that may be realized as result of the Merger.

ROMAC UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION TO ROMAC UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements of Romac are
presented to show how Romac and Source might have looked if Romac and Source had
been combined for the periods presented. These unaudited pro forma combined
financial statements are based on, and should be read together with, the
historical financial statements for Romac and Source that are incorporated by
reference in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The unaudited pro forma
combined financial statements were prepared using the assumptions described
below and in the related notes thereto.

For accounting purposes, we expect that the Merger will be treated as a
pooling of interests. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet presents
the combined financial position of Romac and Source as of December 31, 1997
assuming that the Merger had occurred as of that date.

During September 1997, Romac completed two material business combinations,
UQ and Sequent, that were accounted for as purchases. The primary assets
recorded as a result of these acquisitions were accounts receivable and
goodwill. UQ was acquired for $19.6 million and is subject to an earn-out
agreement whereby seven and one-half times earnings before income taxes,
interest and amortization in excess of $2.8 million, with respect to the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1998 and three times all earnings before income taxes,
interest and amortization in excess of $2.8 million with respect to the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1999, shall be paid to the prior owners in the form of
additional purchase price. The additional purchase price, if achieved, would be
paid in the form of cash on or before August 31, 1998 and August 31, 1999,
respectively. Sequent was acquired for $20.3 million and is subject to an
earn-out agreement whereby eight and one-half time earnings before income taxes,
interest and amortization in excess of $2.4 million for the year ending
September 30, 1998, shall be paid to the prior owners in the form of additional
purchase price. The additional purchase price, if achieved, would be paid in the
form of cash within 60 days of when the earn-out is determined, but no later
than December 31, 1998. The additional purchase price would be recorded as
goodwill and amortized over the remaining life of the original goodwill. Both
the UQ and Sequent acquisitions have associated indemnity agreements which call
for the escrow of $2.0 million and $1.9 million for a period of 18 months for
any claims as outlined in the indemnity agreement. The Company has made no
claims to the escrow accounts under the indemnity agreement. The Company does
not anticipate that the earnouts and indemnity agreements will have a material
impact on its financial condition or results of operations, other than
amortization of related goodwill.

Romac completed six other acquisitions during 1997, which were also
accounted for as purchases. See "Business of Romac -- Recent Acquisitions" on
page 51. The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions was approximately
$17.5 million and certain of the acquisitions are subject to earn-out
agreements. The primary assets recorded as a result of these acquisitions were
accounts receivable and goodwill. Any additional purchase price paid will be
recorded as goodwill and amortized over the remaining life of the original
goodwill. These six acquisitions, though not considered material individually or
in the aggregate, are included as "Other Acquisitions" in the unaudited pro
forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 as
if they had been acquired on January 1, 1997.

After the Merger, Romac may incur certain charges and expenses related to
restructuring and integrating the operations of Romac and Source. Because the
transaction has not been completed, only certain costs of the Merger can be
estimated at this time. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations
excludes the positive effects of potential cost savings expected to be achieved
upon combining the companies, as well as transaction costs of approximately $8
to $10 million, including investment banking, legal and accounting fees, and
other contractual costs of the transaction. During the next several months,
Romac will conduct a study to review the impact of integrating the two
operations following the Merger. Until the study is completed and a formal
integration plan developed, any additional charges or efficiencies cannot be
reasonably estimated.

NOTES TO ROMAC UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements reflect the issuance
of shares of Romac Common Stock for all of the outstanding shares of Source
Common Stock in connection with the Merger, based upon the exchange ratio of
1.1932 shares of Romac Common Stock for each share of Source Common Stock.

(2) Romac and Source expect to incur aggregate transaction costs of
approximately $8 to $10 million associated with the Merger. The unaudited
pro forma combined balance sheet of December 31, 1997 has been adjusted to
reflect $9 million of these costs, the mid-point of this range, which will
not be deductible for corporate income tax purposes. These estimated costs
are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined statements of
operations. The amount of these costs is a preliminary estimate and is
subject to change.

(3) Certain reclassifications have been made to conform Source's financial
statement classification of depreciation and bad debt expense to that of
Romac.

(4) Before its acquisition by Romac, Sequent and certain of the Other
Acquisitions were not subject to corporate income tax and income was passed
through to the stockholders and reported on their personal tax returns.
Accordingly, the historical results of operations of these entities did not
include any corporate income tax provisions. The unaudited pro forma
combined statement of operations reflects the estimated results of
operations as if these entities had been subject to corporate income taxes
based on an assumed effective statutory rate of 40%.

(5) After their acquisition by Romac, UQ and Sequent contractually reduced the
compensation paid to their officers from the amounts historically paid. The
unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1997 reflects the reduction of this compensation. The related
tax effect of this adjustment has been included in the pro forma income tax
adjustment described in Note 4 above.

(6) Approximately $18.5 million, $17.7 million and $13.9 million of goodwill was
recorded with respect to UQ, Sequent and the Other Acquisitions,
respectively, and is being amortized over 30 years. The unaudited pro forma
combined statement of operations reflects the estimated results of
operations to reflect the increase in amortization expense related to this
goodwill. This amount may increase for any future cash payments or issuance
of shares based on the terms of the relevant acquisition agreements.

COMPARATIVE PER SHARE DATA

The following table shows certain historical per share data of Romac and
Source and combined per share data on an unaudited pro forma basis after giving
effect to the Merger as a pooling-of-interests, assuming that 1.1932 shares of
Romac Common Stock (subject to adjustment -- see "The Merger
Agreement -- Consideration to be Received in the Merger") were issued in
exchange for each share of Source Common Stock outstanding. This data should be
read in conjunction with the Selected Historical and Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Financial Data and the historical audited and unaudited financial
statements of Romac and Source and the notes thereto that are included elsewhere
in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or incorporated herein by reference.
The selected pro forma combined financial information of Romac and Source is
derived from the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and should be
read in conjunction with such unaudited pro forma statements and notes thereto
included elsewhere in this Joint Proxy Statement/ Prospectus. The unaudited pro
forma combined information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is
not indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations of
future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had Romac
and Source been a single entity during the periods presented. Neither Romac nor
Source paid any cash dividends for the periods presented.

RISK FACTORS

This proxy statement/prospectus contains statements concerning the future
that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Such statements include the
information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of our
companies and New Romac contained under "Reasons for the Merger; Recommendations
of the Boards" and "Opinions of Financial Advisors" and those accompanied by the
words, "believes," "expects," "anticipates," or similar expressions. For those
statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking
statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
You should understand that the factors discussed below, in addition to those
discussed elsewhere in this document, could affect the future results of New
Romac, and Romac and Source, and could cause those results to differ materially
from those expressed in our forward-looking statements.

In addition to the other information in this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus, the following factors should be considered carefully in
evaluating the Merger. Certain of these factors also affect an investment in
Source.

EFFECT OF THE MERGER; INTEGRATION OF OPERATIONS

The success of the Merger will be determined by various factors, including
the financial performance of the combined company's operations after the Merger
and management's ability to effectively integrate the operations of Romac and
Source. The proposed Merger represents the largest acquisition that Romac has
attempted. The integration of the operations of Source and Romac may be
adversely affected if, among other things, clients, particularly national
account clients, do not react positively to some of the planned changes intended
to increase Romac's staffing services or to integrate the businesses of the two
companies, unexpected offsetting costs are incurred, or costs or difficulties
related to the integration of the businesses of Romac and Source are greater
than expected. There is no assurance that the expected benefits of the Merger
will be realized or that the Merger will not adversely affect the future
operating results of New Romac. See "Proposal 1 -- The Merger" on page 30, and
"Selected Historical and Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Data" on page 7.

INTEGRATION OF AND RELIANCE ON INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEMS

Romac's and Source's businesses depend significantly upon their ability to
store, retrieve, process, and manage significant databases, and periodically to
expand and upgrade their information processing capabilities. Romac and Source
maintain different information processing systems. New Romac's computer
equipment and software systems will be maintained in Tampa, Florida and Dallas,
Texas. Difficulties in integrating the systems or interruption or loss of New
Romac's information processing capabilities through loss of stored data,
breakdown or malfunction of computer equipment and software systems,
telecommunications failure, conversion difficulties, or damage to New Romac's
systems caused by fire, hurricane, tornadoes, lightning, electrical power
outage, or other disruption could have a material adverse effect on New Romac.
See "Business of Romac -- Professional Recruiters Operating System" on page 58,
and "Business of Source -- Management Information Systems" on page 65.

POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF FLUCTUATIONS IN THE GENERAL ECONOMY

Historically, the general level of economic activity has significantly
affected the demand for employment services. As economic activity has slowed,
the use of flexible personnel often has been curtailed before permanent
employees have been laid off. An economic downturn may adversely affect the
demand for flexible personnel and may have a material adverse effect on New
Romac's results of operations or financial condition. Additionally, during
periods of slowed economic activity, the use of executive search firms tends to
decline significantly. As economic activity has increased, flexible personnel
often have been added to the work force before permanent employees have been
hired. Placement fees comprised 32% of Source's net service revenues during the
year ended December 28, 1997, as compared to 14% for Romac for 1997. This
increased dependence upon placement fees will increase the risks to revenue and
profitability of an economic downturn. During periods of increased economic
activity and generally higher levels of employment, the competition

18
<PAGE> 27

among staffing services firms for personnel is intense. Further, New Romac may
face increased competitive pricing pressures during such periods. There is no
assurance that during these periods New Romac will be able to recruit the
personnel necessary to fill its clients' needs or that such pricing pressures
will not adversely affect New Romac's results of operations. See "Business of
Romac -- Industry Overview" on page 51.

DEPENDENCE ON AVAILABILITY AND RETENTION OF PERSONNEL

New Romac will depend upon its ability to identify, attract, retain,
develop, and motivate qualified personnel, including Source personnel,
particularly technical and professional personnel, who possess the skills and
experience necessary to meet the staffing requirements of its clients. New Romac
must continually evaluate and upgrade its base of available personnel to keep
pace with changing client needs and emerging technologies. Competition for
personnel with proven technical or professional skills is intense, and demand
for such personnel is expected to remain very strong for the foreseeable future.
There is no assurance that personnel will continue to be available to New Romac
in sufficient numbers and upon economic terms acceptable to New Romac. See
"Business of Romac -- Functional Organization" on page 54, and "Business of
Romac -- Competition" on page 59.

ABILITY TO ACHIEVE AND MANAGE GROWTH

Romac and Source have experienced growth, driven primarily by industry
trends towards the increased use of flexible professional and technical
personnel. New Romac's continued growth depends on a number of factors,
including (i) the ability to maintain margins in the face of competitive
pressures and changing regulatory environments, (ii) the availability of
sufficient working capital, (iii) continued improvements in the recruitment,
motivation, and retention of its operating employees and flexible personnel,
(iv) the strength of demand in New Romac's markets, and (v) New Romac's ability
to open new markets. Any significant delay in opening new markets could have a
material adverse effect on New Romac's results of operations. There is no
assurance that New Romac will be able to attain its desired levels of growth.
See "Business of Romac -- Growth Strategy" on page 53.

RECENT ACQUISITIONS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ACQUISITION STRATEGY

Romac has completed a number of acquisitions in the past two years, with
the largest having an initial purchase price of approximately $20.3 million. New
Romac intends to continue to pursue a growth strategy through acquisitions.
There can be no assurance that New Romac will be able to consummate or, if
consummated, successfully integrate the operations and management of past or
future acquisitions. Acquisitions, including the Merger, involve significant
risks that could have a material adverse effect on New Romac, including: (i) the
diversion of management's attention to the assimilation of the business to be
acquired; (ii) the risk that the acquired business will fail to maintain the
quality of services that Romac and Source have historically provided; (iii) the
need to implement financial and other systems and add management resources; (iv)
the risk that key operating employees of the acquired businesses will leave
after the acquisition; (v) potential liabilities of the acquired businesses;
(vi) unforeseen difficulties in the acquired operations; (vii) adverse short-
and long-term effects on New Romac's operating results; (viii) lack of success
in assimilating or integrating the operations of acquired businesses with those
of New Romac; (ix) the dilutive effect of the issuance of additional equity
securities; (x) the incurrence of additional debt; and (xi) the financial impact
of amortizing goodwill and other intangible assets involved in any acquisitions
that are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. There is no
assurance that New Romac will successfully implement its acquisition strategy.
Furthermore, there is no assurance any acquisition, including the Merger, will
achieve levels of revenue and profitability or otherwise perform as expected, or
be consummated on acceptable terms to enhance shareholder value.

COMPETITION

New Romac will face significant competition in the markets it serves and
there are limited barriers to entry by new competitors. New Romac will compete
for potential clients with providers of outsourcing services, systems
integrators, computer systems consultants, other providers of staffing services,
temporary

19
<PAGE> 28

personnel agencies, and search firms. A number of competitors of New Romac will
possess substantially greater financial, managerial, and other resources than
New Romac. From time to time Romac and Source have experienced significant
pressure from clients to reduce price levels. Romac and Source have faced, and
New Romac will face, the risk that current or prospective clients will decide to
provide similar services internally. Additionally, New Romac will face
significant competition for personnel in many professional and technical
specialties. There is no assurance that New Romac will be able to continue to
compete effectively with existing or potential competitors. See "Business of
Romac -- Competition" on page 59.

RELIANCE ON KEY EXECUTIVES AND QUALIFIED OPERATING EMPLOYEES

Romac has been highly dependent on its management. We expect that the
success of New Romac will largely depend upon the efforts and abilities of Mr.
Dunkel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Swartz, President and Chief
Operating Officer, and certain other executives. The loss of services of Mr.
Dunkel, Mr. Swartz or any other key executive for any reason could have a
material adverse effect upon New Romac. New Romac will maintain key man life
insurance with respect to Mr. Dunkel, Mr. Swartz, and certain other executives.
New Romac's success will also depend upon its ability to identify, attract,
develop, retain, and motivate operating employees, particularly management,
client servicing and personnel recruiting employees. New Romac will expend
significant resources in recruiting and training its operating employees, and
the pool of available applicants for these positions is limited. There can be no
assurance that New Romac will continue to be able to identify, attract, develop,
retain, and motivate qualified operating management and client servicing and
personnel recruiting employees. In addition, the loss of some of New Romac's
operating management and client servicing and candidate recruiting employees
could have an adverse effect on New Romac's operations, including the ability to
establish and maintain client and professional and technical personnel
relationships.

EMPLOYMENT LIABILITY RISK

Providers of staffing services employ and place personnel in the workplaces
of other businesses. An inherent risk of such activity includes possible claims
of errors and omissions, misuse of client proprietary information,
misappropriation of funds, discrimination and harassment, employment of illegal
aliens, theft of client property, other criminal activity or torts and other
claims. Romac has policies and guidelines in place to reduce its exposure to
these risks. However, failure of any New Romac operating employee or personnel
to follow these policies and guidelines may result in negative publicity,
injunctive relief, and the payment by New Romac of monetary damages or fines, or
have other material adverse effects upon New Romac. Moreover, New Romac could be
held responsible for the actions at a workplace of persons not under the direct
control of New Romac. To reduce its exposure, Romac maintains insurance and
fidelity bonds covering general liability, workers' compensation claims, errors
and omissions, and operating employee and personnel theft. Because of the nature
of New Romac's assignments, in particular access to client information systems
and confidential information, and the potential liability with respect thereto,
there is no assurance that such insurance coverage will be adequate or will
continue to be available economically in amounts adequate to cover any such
liability. See "Business of Romac -- Legal Proceedings" on page 60, and
"Business of Romac -- Insurance" on page 59.

POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE

Romac Common Stock has experienced a significant increase, including
periodic fluctuations, in its market price since Romac's initial public offering
in August 1995. The market price of the Romac Common Stock could be subject to
significant fluctuations in response to operating results of New Romac, changes
in general conditions in the economy, the financial markets, the employment
services industry, or other developments affecting New Romac, its clients, or
its competitors, some of which may be unrelated to their performance. Such
fluctuations could affect the benefits of the Merger to Source stockholders, as
well as the number of shares of Romac Common Stock to be issued in the Merger,
or result in the termination of the Merger Agreement. See "The Merger
Agreement -- Consideration to be Received in the Merger" on page 46.

20
<PAGE> 29

INCREASED COSTS FROM GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Romac and Source are required to pay federal, state, and local payroll
taxes and related costs, including unemployment taxes, workers' compensation and
insurance, FICA, and Medicare, among others, for their operating employees and
personnel. Significant increases in the effective rates or applicability of
federal or state income taxes or any payroll related costs likely would have a
material adverse effect upon New Romac. New Romac's costs could also increase as
a result of health care reforms or the possible imposition of additional
requirements and restrictions related to the placement of personnel. Recent
federal and state legislative proposals have included provisions extending
health insurance benefits to personnel who currently do not receive such
benefits. There is no assurance that New Romac will be able to increase the fees
charged to its clients in a timely manner and in a sufficient amount to cover
increased costs, if any such proposals are adopted. There is also no assurance
that New Romac will be able to adapt to future regulatory changes made by the
Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor, or other state and federal
regulatory agencies. See "Romac Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" on page 22.

ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS

New Romac's articles of incorporation and bylaws and Florida law will
contain provisions that may have the effect of inhibiting a non-negotiated
merger or other business combination. In particular, New Romac's articles of
incorporation will provide for a staggered board of directors and permit the
removal of directors only for cause. Additionally, management may issue up to
15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and fix the rights and preferences
thereof, without a further vote of the shareholders. In addition, Romac's
officers have employment agreements with Romac containing certain provisions
that call for substantial payments to be made to such officers upon any change
in control of Romac. Certain of these provisions may discourage a future
acquisition of New Romac, including an acquisition in which shareholders might
otherwise receive a premium for their shares. As a result, shareholders who
might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have the opportunity
to do so. Moreover, the existence of these provisions may have a depressive
effect on the market price of the Romac Common Stock. See "Certain Differences
in the Rights of Romac Shareholders and Source Stockholders" on page 70.

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

The following discussion should be read in connection with Romac's
Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes thereto incorporated by
reference in this document.

OVERVIEW

Romac is a provider of professional and technical specialty staffing
services in 19 markets in the United States. Romac strives to shape valuable
business relationships between organizations and the knowledgeable people who
make them successful. To better serve the needs of its customers, Romac provides
them with value-added services in the following specialties: Information
Technology, Finance and Accounting, Human Resources and Operating Specialties.
Romac believes its broad range of highly specialized services provides clients
with integrated solutions to their staffing needs, allowing Romac to develop
long-term, consultative relationships. Romac principally serves Fortune 1000
clients with its top ten clients representing 10.0% of its revenue for 1997.
Romac believes its functional focus and range of service offerings generate
increased placement opportunities and enhance Romac's ability to identify,
attract, retain, develop, and motivate personnel and operating employees.

Revenue Recognition

Net service revenues consist of sales, net of credits and discounts. Romac
recognizes Flexible Billings revenue based on hours worked by assigned personnel
on a weekly basis. Search Fees are recognized in contingency search engagements
upon the successful completion of the assignment. Franchise fees were determined
based upon a contractual percentage of the revenue billed by franchisees. Costs
relating to the support of franchised operations were included in Romac's
selling, general and administrative expenses. The last remaining franchisee and
licensee agreement was terminated at the end of the second quarter of 1997.
Romac was the legal employer of flexible personnel under its licensing
arrangements, and accordingly included revenues and related direct costs of
licensed offices in its net service revenues and direct cost of services,
respectively. Commissions paid to licensees were based upon a percentage of the
gross profit generated, and were included in Romac's direct cost of services.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for Flexible Billings is determined by deducting the direct
cost of services (flexible personnel payroll wages, payroll taxes,
payroll-related insurance, and licensee commissions) from net service revenues.
Consistent with industry practices, all costs related to Search Fees are
classified as selling, general, and administrative expense.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth certain items in Romac's consolidated
statement of operations, as a percentage of net service revenues, for the
indicated periods:

1997 COMPARED TO 1996

Net service revenues. Net service revenues increased 92.6% to $181.4
million in 1997 as compared to $94.2 million for the same period in 1996. This
increase was composed of a $80.6 million increase in Flexible Billings and a
$6.7 million increase in Search Fees for the year ended December 31, 1997 as
described below.

Flexible Billings increased 106.8% to $156.0 million in 1997 as compared to
$75.5 million for the same period in 1996. This increase is a result of an
increase in the number of hours billed by Romac-owned operations as compared to
the same periods in 1996. The average hourly bill rate for the year increased to
$36 in 1997 from $28 for 1996 due to the growing mix of contract business as a
percentage of total Flexible Billings. In addition, Romac's ETD division
increased its bill rates 26% in 1997 compared to the same periods in 1996 as the
demand for these highly skilled workers continues to build.

Search Fees increased 35.3% to $25.3 million in 1997 as compared to $18.7
million for the same period in 1996. This increase resulted primarily from an
increase in the number of search sales consultants, which increased the number
of search placements made in 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. The
average fee for each search placement made during the periods remained
relatively constant.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased 75.5% to $70.9 million in 1997 as
compared to $40.4 million in 1996. Gross profit as a percentage of net service
revenues decreased to 39.1% in 1997 as compared to 42.9% for the same period in
1996. This decrease was a result of the continuing change in Romac's business
mix whereby revenues from Flexible Billings, traditionally lower gross margins
than Search Fees, increased to 86.0% of Romac's net service revenues in 1997 as
compared to 80.1% for the same period in 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general, and
administrative expenses increased 66.7% to $50.5 million in 1997 as compared to
$30.3 million for the same period in 1996. Selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net service revenues decreased to 27.9% in 1997
compared to 32.2% for the same period in 1996. This decrease in selling, general
and administrative expense as a percentage of net service revenues resulted from
greater operating efficiencies and economies of scale gained from a larger
revenue base.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization
expense increased 77.8%, to $3.2 million for 1997 as compared to $1.8 million
for the same period in 1996. Depreciation and amortization expense as a
percentage of net service revenue decreased to 1.8% for 1997 as compared 1.9%
for the same period in 1996. The decrease as a percentage of net service
revenues for 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996 is primarily due to a
change in accounting estimate which increased the amortization period for
goodwill from 15 to 30 years related to certain acquisitions.

Other (income) expense. Other (income) expense increased 11.8% in 1997 to
$1.9 million as compared to approximately $1.7 million, for the same period in
1996. The increase during 1997 compared to the same period in 1996 is due to
interest earned on the investment of the proceeds from the May 1996 and November
1997 stock offerings.

Income before taxes. Income before taxes increased 91.9% to $19.0 million
for 1997 as compared to $9.9 million for the same period in 1996, primarily as a
result of the above factors.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes increased 87.5% to
$7.5 million for 1997 compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 1996. The
effective tax rate was 39.4% in 1997 as compared to approximately 40.0% in 1996.

Net income. Net income increased 91.7% to $11.5 million for 1997 compared
to $6.0 million for the same period in 1996. This increase was due to the
revenue increases discussed above offset by a decrease in the gross profit as a
percentage of net service revenues due to the continuing change in the business
mix towards Flexible Billings, which has traditionally lower gross margins, and
a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net service revenues (although selling, general and administrative expenses
increased in absolute dollars) due to economies of scale gained from a larger
revenue base.

1996 COMPARED TO 1995

Net service revenues. Net service revenues increased 106.1% to $94.2
million in 1996 as compared to $45.7 million for the same period in 1995. This
increase was composed of a $39.6 million increase in Flexible Billings and a
$8.9 million increase in Search Fees for 1996. This increase in Flexible
Billings was partially offset by an approximate $1.5 million decrease in
Flexible Billings from franchisee and licensee operations for 1996 as compared
to 1995, as several franchisee and licensee operations were discontinued during
1996.

Flexible Billings increased 110.3% to $75.5 million for 1996 as compared to
$35.9 million in 1995. This increase in Flexible Billings includes a $25.3
million increase from existing company-owned operations and $14.3 million
increase from acquired operations. The increase attributable to company-owned
operations resulted primarily from an increase in the number of hours billed by
company-owned operations during 1996 as compared to 1995, as well as from an
increase in the average hourly bill rate for 1996 to approximately $27.0 per
hour as compared to approximately $21.3 per hour in 1995.

Search Fees increased 90.8% to $18.7 million in 1996 as compared to $9.8
million in 1995. This increase in revenues was a result of a $4.3 million
increase in revenues from existing company-owned operations and a $4.6 million
increase in revenues attributable to acquired operations. The increase in
company-owned operations resulted primarily from an increase in the number of
search sales consultants, which increased the number of search placements made
during 1996 as compared to 1995. The average fee for each search placement made
remained relatively constant during the periods involved. Franchise and license
revenues, which are included in the aforementioned Flexible Billings decreased
approximately 31.9% to $3.2 million in 1996 from $4.7 million in 1995. The
decrease was primarily due to the effects of discontinued franchisee and
licensee operations during 1996.

After taking into account the decreases in net service revenues
attributable to discontinued franchisee and licensee operations, the net service
revenue comparisons reflect a continued improvement in the demand for Romac's
specialized staffing services. Romac opened two new company-owned locations
during 1996: Pittsburgh in February and Minneapolis in April.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased 100.0% to $40.4 million in 1996 as
compared to $20.2 million in 1995. Gross profit as a percentage of net service
revenues decreased to 42.9% in 1996 as compared to 44.2% in 1995. This decrease
in gross profit margin as a percentage of net service revenues was a result of
the continuing changes in Romac's business mix whereby revenues from Flexible
Billings, which has traditionally lower gross margins than Search Fees,
increased to 80.1% of Romac's net service revenues for 1996 as compared to 78.6%
for 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general, and
administrative expenses increased 99.3% to $30.3 million in 1996 as compared to
$15.2 million in 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net service revenues decreased to 32.2% in 1996 as compared to
33.4% in 1995. This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as
a percentage of net service revenues resulted from greater operating
efficiencies and economies of scale gained from a larger revenue base.

Depreciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation and amortization
expenses increased approximately 260.0% to $1.8 million in 1996 as compared to
$500,000 in 1995, primarily because Romac incurred a full year of depreciation
expense on approximately $1.2 million of new computer and telephone equipment
that was purchased during 1995, began depreciating approximately $1.3 million of
computer and telephone equipment and approximately $700,000 of furniture and
fixtures acquired in 1996, and incurred additional amortization expense in 1996
related to goodwill recorded as a result of asset acquisitions made by Romac
during 1996.

Other (income) expense. Other (income) expense increased 198.2% to $1.7
million of income in 1996 as compared to $570,000 of income in 1995. This
increase was primarily due to interest earned by Romac on the investment of the
proceeds from its May 1996 common stock offering and expenses relating to
capital lease obligations entered into in 1995 declined in 1996. This increase
was partially offset by a decrease in franchisee termination income received by
Romac during the periods involved, as $346,189 was received in 1996 as compared
to $435,000 in 1995.

24
<PAGE> 33

Income before taxes. Income before taxes increased 98.0% to $9.9 million
in 1996 as compared to $5.0 million in 1995, primarily as a result of the above
factors.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes increased 100% to
$4.0 million in 1996 as compared to $2.0 million in 1995. The effective income
tax rate was constant at approximately 40.0% for both periods.

Net income. Net income increased approximately 100% to $6.0 million in
1996 as compared to $3.0 million in 1995, primarily as a result of the above
factors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 1997, Romac's sources of liquidity included
approximately $77.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, approximately $19.6
million in additional net working capital. In addition, as of December 31, 1997,
there were no amounts outstanding on Romac's line of credit and $30.0 million
was available for borrowing under Romac's line of credit. Romac entered into a
new Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement with NationsBank, N.A. (the "Line of
Credit") during September 1997. The Line of Credit expires on March 31, 2000 and
amounts outstanding under the line of credit accrue interest at an annual rate
equal to 65 basis points above the 90-day London Interbank Offering interest
rate ("LIBOR"). As of December 31, 1997, the interest rate on the Line of Credit
was 6.46%.

During the year ended December 31, 1997, cash flow provided by operations
was approximately $4.5 million, resulting primarily from net income, non-cash
expenses (depreciation and amortization) and increases in operating payroll
liabilities, offset by an increase in accounts receivable. The increase in
accounts receivable reflects the increased volume of business during the first
nine months of 1997 from existing locations and the initial funding of the
accounts receivable base in acquired operations.

During 1997, cash flow used in investing activities was approximately $54.3
million, resulting primarily from Romac's use of approximately $52.1 million in
cash for acquisitions.

In November and December 1997, Romac received approximately $86.5 million
as net proceeds of its common stock offering, part of which was used to repay
the indebtedness outstanding under the Line of Credit. Romac intends to use the
remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including possible
acquisitions, expansion of Romac's operations and certain capital expenditures
related to Romac's expansion. Pending such uses, the net proceeds will be
invested in short term, investment grade securities, certificates of deposit, or
direct or guaranteed obligations of the United States government.

Romac believes that cash flow from operations and borrowings under Romac's
Line of Credit, or other credit facilities that may become available to New
Romac in the future will be adequate to meet the working capital requirements of
Romac's current operations for at least the next 12 months. Romac believes that
the consummation of the Merger will not adversely affect New Romac's liquidity
and capital resources. Romac's estimate of the period that existing resources
will fund its and New Romac's working capital requirements is a forward-looking
statement that is subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could
differ from those indicated as a result of a number of factors, including the
use of such resources for possible acquisitions. See "Business of
Romac -- Growth Strategy" on page 53.

YEAR 2000 COMPUTER ISSUES

Many computer systems in use today were designed and developed using two
digits, rather than four, to specify years. As a result, such systems will
recognize the year 2000 as "00." This could cause many computer applications to
fail completely or to create erroneous results unless corrective measures are
taken. Romac utilizes software or related computer technologies that are
essential to its operations. Romac believes all such software is currently Year
2000 compliant, and therefore does not expect any material impact as a result of
the Year 2000 issue.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Reporting comprehensive income. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which will require Romac to disclose, in
financial statement format, all non-owner changes in equity. Such changes
include cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and certain minimum
pension liabilities. SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997 and requires presentation of prior period financial statements
for comparability purposes. Romac expects to adopt this standard during the year
ended December 31, 1998. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a
material impact on disclosure in Romac's financial statements.

Disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information. In
June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes standards for reporting
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and interim
financial reports. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and requires
presentation of prior period financial statements for comparability purposes.
Romac is currently evaluating its required disclosures under SFAS No. 131 and
expects to adopt this standard during the year ended December 31, 1998.

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

The following discussion should be read in connection with Source's
Financial Statements and the related Notes thereto incorporated by reference in
this document.

OVERVIEW

In recent years, substantially all of Source's growth has come from
expansion of its flexible staffing services, adding staffing services in new
areas of specialization and entering new geographic markets. All growth has come
from internal expansion rather than acquisitions.

The following table sets forth the number of markets, by service type and
area of specialization, as of the end of the indicated fiscal periods:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fiscal Year 1997 as compared to Fiscal Year 1996

Net service revenue. Net service revenue increased 44.0% to $294.7 million
in 1997, from $204.7 million in 1996. The growth in net service revenue was
primarily attributable to an increase in the number of sales associates, and
Source's continued emphasis on expanding the number of service offerings in all
markets.

Net service revenues from flexible staffing services grew 56.8% to $199.9
million in 1997, from $127.5 million in 1996. The growth in flexible staffing
net service revenue is primarily due to an increase in the hours billed from
adding additional markets and growth in existing markets and, to a lesser
extent, an increase in the average billing rates.

Permanent placement net service revenue increased 22.8% to $94.8 million in
1997, from $77.2 million in 1996. The growth in permanent placement net service
revenue is primarily the result of an increase in the number of permanent
placements and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the average placement fees.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased 34.1% to $151.1 million in 1997, from
$112.7 million in 1996. Gross profit as a percentage of net service revenues
decreased slightly to 51.3% for 1997, from 55.1% in 1996. The decrease was
primarily a result of a continued change in mix of Source's net service revenue
toward flexible staffing services.

Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased 31.2% to $133.3 million
in 1997, from $101.6 million in 1996. The increase was primarily a result of
hiring additional operations employees, increased expenses associated with the
expansion of Source's business, and upgrades in Source's management information
system. As a percentage of net service revenue, operating expenses decreased to
45.2% in 1997, as compared to 49.6% in 1996.

Operating income. Operating income increased 60.4% to $17.8 million in
1997, from $11.1 million in 1996. The increase is primarily a result of the
factors described above.

Other (income) expense. Other income was $743,000 in 1997, as compared to
$88,000 of income in 1996. The increase in other income was primarily a result
of an increase in interest income.

Income taxes. The effective tax rate was 43.3% and 42.2% in 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

27
<PAGE> 36

Net income. Net income increased 61.5% to $10.5 million in 1997, from $6.5
million in 1996, as a result of the factors described above.

Fiscal Year 1996 as compared to Fiscal Year 1995

Net service revenue. Net service revenue increased 44.4% to $204.7 million
in 1996, from $141.8 million in 1995. The growth in net service revenue was
primarily attributable to an increase in the number of sales associates, and
Source's continued emphasis on expanding the number of service offerings in all
markets.

Net service revenues from flexible staffing services grew 48.1% to $127.5
million in 1996, from $86.1 million in 1995. The growth in flexible staffing net
service revenue is primarily due to an increase in the hours billed in existing
markets, and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the average billing rates.

Permanent placement service revenue increased 38.6% to $77.2 million in
1996, from $55.7 million in 1995. The growth in permanent placement net service
revenue is primarily the result of an increase in the number of permanent
placements, and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the average placement fees.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased 43.1% to $112.7 million in 1996, from
$78.8 million in 1995. Gross profit as a percentage of net service revenues
decreased to 55.1% for 1996, from 55.5% in 1995. The decrease was primarily as a
result of a continued change in mix of Source's net service revenue toward
flexible staffing services.

Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased 42.0% to $101.6 million
in 1996, from $71.5 million in 1995. The increase was primarily a result of
hiring additional operations employees, increased expenses associated with the
expansion of Source's business, and upgrades in Source's management information
system. As a percentage of net service revenue, operating expenses decreased to
49.6% in 1996, as compared to 50.4% in 1995.

Operating income. Operating income increased 53.2% to $11.1 million in
1996, from $7.3 million in 1995. The increase is primarily a result of the
factors described above.

Other (income) expense. Other (income) expense increased to $88,000 of
income in 1996, as compared to $540,000 of expense in 1995.

Income taxes. The effective tax rate was 42.2% and 37.9% in 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

Net income. Net income increased to $6.5 million in 1996, from $4.2
million in 1995, as a result of the factors described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities was $9.9 million for the fiscal year
ended December 28, 1997, as compared to cash used in operating activities of
$1.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 29, 1996. The increase in cash
from operating activities in fiscal 1997 is primarily attributable to higher net
income and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and accrued
commissions and payroll. Cash provided by operating activities was $1.2 million
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, primarily as a result of net
income, adjusted for non-cash items, offset by increases in working capital.

Cash used in investing activities was $5.4 million, $5.5 million and $2.0
million for the fiscal years ended December 28, 1997, December 29, 1996 and
December 31, 1995, respectively. Cash used in investing activities in fiscal
1997 includes $3.5 million in capital expenditures and purchases of short-term
investments of $1.9 million. Cash used in investing activities in fiscal 1996
and 1995 includes $5.9 million and $2.2 million in capital expenditures,
respectively.

Cash provided by financing activities were $0.4 million in fiscal 1997 and
$24.2 million in fiscal 1996. Cash provided by financing activities in fiscal
1997 includes $0.4 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Cash
provided by financing activities in fiscal 1996 includes $24.1 million in net
proceeds from Source's initial public offering.

28
<PAGE> 37

Working capital for the fiscal year ended December 28, 1997, is $52.0
million as compared to $41.3 million for the fiscal year ended December 29,
1996.

Historically, Source has financed its operations through cash generated by
operating activities and through various forms of external financing, including
operating leases, capital leases and bank lines of credit. The principal use of
cash is for financing working capital, particularly through periods of growth.
As a result of the initial public offering on July 29, 1996, Source received
$24.1 million in net proceeds. These proceeds have been used to repay short-term
borrowings, make capital improvements and to support future growth.

If new offices are established or acquired, or existing offices expanded,
there will be increased requirements for cash resources to fund operations. The
start-up of services in a new market has generally required expenditures of up
to approximately $200,000 before generating positive cash flow. Historically,
such new operations generally have achieved operating profitability within nine
months of inception but have not contributed significant net service revenues
for the first 12-to-18 months.

On April 30, 1997, Source renewed its $10.0 million line of credit loan
agreement. No amounts were borrowed under the agreement during the year. As of
December 28, 1997, $10.0 million is available for borrowing under Source's line
of credit loan agreement.

During 1997, capital expenditures were made primarily for computer
equipment and office furniture and fixtures. The foregoing capital expenditures
were financed internally from operating activities.

Flexible staffing personnel are generally paid weekly for their services,
whereas customer payments are generally received within 30 to 90 days from the
date of invoice. Should Source's flexible staffing business grow and accounts
receivable increase, Source's need for capital will increase. With the exception
of possible acquisitions, Source believes that its cash balance, funds from
operations and its line of credit will be sufficient to fund continued expansion
of its services and office locations at least through the next 12 months.

YEAR 2000 COMPUTER ISSUES

Many computer systems in use today were designed and developed using two
digits, rather than four, to specify the year. As a result, such systems will
recognize the year 2000 as "00". This could cause many computer applications to
fail completely or to create erroneous results unless corrective measures are
taken.

Source utilizes software or related computer technologies essential to its
operations that will be affected by the Year 2000 issue. Source has studied what
actions will be necessary to make its computer systems Year 2000 compliant and
has completed certain phases of its compliance plan. Source expects all of its
systems to be Year 2000 compliant by late 1998 and has determined that it will
not have a material impact on its business, operations nor its financial
statements.

PROPOSAL 1 -- THE MERGER

We are furnishing this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to holders of Romac
Common Stock, and holders of Source Common Stock. The respective Boards of
Directors of Romac and Source are soliciting proxies for use at their meetings
of shareholders and at any adjournments or postponements thereof.

At the Romac Meeting, holders of Romac Common Stock will be asked to vote
upon the Merger Proposal and certain other annual meeting proposals. The
affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast by Romac shareholders is
required to approve the Merger Proposal.

At the Source Meeting, holders of Source Common Stock will be asked to vote
upon the Source Proposal and the transactions contemplated thereby. The
affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Source Common Stock
is required to approve the Source Proposal. A copy of the Merger Agreement is
attached as Appendix I and is incorporated in this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus by reference.

The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, for the merger of Source
into Romac, with Romac being the surviving company. In the Merger, each share of
Source Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (excluding
those held in the treasury of Source), without any action on the part of the
holder thereof, will be converted into the right to receive 1.1932 shares of
Romac Common Stock, subject to adjustment based on Romac's market price prior to
closing and certain other conditions. The Merger will become effective upon the
later of the filing of (i) a Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary
of State or (ii) Articles of Merger with the Florida Secretary of State (the
time of such filing being herein called the "Effective Time"). The Effective
Time is expected to occur promptly after receipt of shareholder approvals if the
Source Proposal and the Merger Proposal are approved by the requisite votes of
shareholders of Source and Romac, respectively.

BACKGROUND OF THE MERGER

In early April 1997, following inquiries by Mr. Dunkel through Romac's
advisors at Baird, representatives of Rauscher Pierce Refsnes, Inc. (now known
as Dain Rauscher), contacted Mr. Ward of Source to see if he would be interested
in a business combination between Source and Romac. As a result of that initial
contact, Mr. Ward and Mr. Dunkel held a preliminary meeting to discuss a
possible business combination. The discussion centered generally around
philosophies, strategies, and the respective companies' culture, vision and
mission statements. Both parties agreed to continue further discussions.

In May 1997, Mr. Dunkel and Mr. Ward met to continue discussing the
possibility of a combination of the respective companies. Mr. Ward agreed to
discuss the possibility with the Source Board.

In early July 1997, Source engaged Robinson-Humphrey in connection with
potential business combinations.

On August 20, 1997, at a previously scheduled meeting of the Source Board,
senior management reported on the preliminary discussions with respect to a
possible business combination with Romac. The Source Board instructed management
to explore further the possibility of a business combination with Romac and to
continue discussions with representatives of Romac.

On August 21, 1997 the parties signed a confidentiality agreement to permit
the exchange of information to better evaluate whether a business combination
would be in the best interests of our two companies and our shareholders. During
the period from August 21, 1997 to September 15, 1997, Romac and Source
continued to discuss a potential combination and representatives of Romac and
Source and their respective financial advisors and legal counsel exchanged
certain preliminary information.

On September 25, 1997, Robinson-Humphrey met with the Source Executive
Committee ("Source Committee") to present an oral proposal from Baird, on behalf
of Romac, regarding a possible business combination with Source. On October 1,
1997, the Source Committee convened to consider Romac's proposal. The Source
Committee presented the proposal to the full Source Board. The parties were
unable to agree upon the terms of a business combination, and consequently,
later that day terminated negotiations and the confidentiality agreement.

<PAGE> 39

In late November 1997, Mr. Dunkel and Mr. Ward met and decided to resume
discussions of the possibility of merging the businesses. On December 10, 1997,
at a previously scheduled meeting of the Source Board, senior management
reported on the re-opening of discussions with respect to a possible business
combination with Romac. The Source Board received preliminary assessments of the
prospective risks and benefits of any such merger. Source's counsel discussed
the business judgment rule, the fiduciary duties of the directors, and other
relevant aspects of Delaware law. The Source Board instructed management to
continue to explore the possibility of a merger with Romac and to continue
discussions with representatives of Romac. On December 12, 1997, the parties
again executed a confidentiality agreement and, shortly thereafter, teams from
each of our companies began a preliminary evaluation of the potential benefits
of a strategic combination of the two companies and subsequently commenced their
investigations of the affairs of the other company.

We continued our mutual investigation process and members of our respective
senior managements continued to meet to discuss the ways in which a possible
combination could be structured, the benefits that could be derived from such a
combination, and the issues to be resolved before any definitive agreement could
be reached.

In discussions led by Messrs. Dunkel, Swartz, and Howard Sutter of Romac
and Messrs. Ward and Richard Dupont of Source, during the remainder of December
and into January, representatives of our companies continued to negotiate the
terms of a proposed merger agreement. The principal areas of negotiation
included board representation, pricing, price protection, the representations
and warranties and covenants to be made by Romac and Source, conditions to
closing, and the triggering events for any payment obligations in the event of
certain terminations of a merger agreement. From January 21, 1998, until January
28, 1998, Romac, Source and their financial advisors continued to discuss the
price, pricing mechanisms, and collars with respect to the proposed transaction.

At a telephonic Romac Board meeting on January 28, 1998, the Romac Board
discussed the progress of negotiations with Source and the merits of the
transaction as it was then currently proposed. Senior management reviewed the
terms of the proposed merger agreement, a draft and summary of which had been
distributed to the members of the Romac Board before the meeting. The Romac
Board also reviewed and discussed various financial analyses of the two
companies that had previously been distributed to the Romac Board by Baird,
Romac's financial advisor. Representatives of Baird were present on the call.

At a Source Board meeting on January 29, 1998, management reported that
agreement had been reached on all major elements of the proposed combination and
discussed the strategic aspects of the proposed combination, the results of the
investigations, the proposed resolution of governance, management, employee
benefit, and organizational issues. At the meeting, Mr. Dunkel and Mr. Swartz
made an oral presentation regarding Romac's analysis of expected benefits of a
merger. Robinson-Humphrey indicated that, based on a proposed range of exchange
ratios, it would be prepared to render a fairness opinion with respect to the
proposed combination when an exchange ratio within that range was agreed to, and
described certain analyses it had undertaken (and would complete after
determination of the exchange ratio) in connection with delivering such an
opinion. Source's counsel reviewed certain legal matters, including a detailed
review of the terms of the Merger Agreement, a draft of which previously had
been distributed to the members of the Source Board. Source's counsel again
confirmed their earlier advice concerning the business judgment rule, the
fiduciary duties of the directors, and other relevant aspects of Delaware
corporate law.

The Romac Board met on Friday, January 30, 1998. Mr. Dunkel and members of
senior management of Romac presented the details of the Merger Agreement. As
part of that presentation, Mr. Dunkel reviewed the strategic rationale and other
background information concerning the transaction, the parties, and the combined
company. Mr. Dunkel discussed various issues related to transition planning and
the composition of the board of directors and senior management of a combined
company as well as the expected accounting treatment. Romac's counsel advised
the directors concerning their responsibilities and reviewed the differences
between the proposed merger agreement and the draft agreement that had been
distributed before the January 28 meeting. Representatives of Baird then
reviewed with the Romac Board certain financial analyses relating to the
proposed transaction and rendered an oral opinion that the Exchange Ratio was
fair from a financial point of view to Romac. See "Opinions of Financial
Advisors." The Romac Board unanimously

31
<PAGE> 40

approved the Merger Agreement and voted to recommend to Romac shareholders that
they vote to approve issuance of shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

The Source Board met on Saturday, January 31, 1998. After reports by senior
management concerning the agreement on the exchange ratio and the termination
fee and the actions of the Romac Board on the previous day, and the delivery by
Robinson-Humphrey of its fairness opinion (see "Opinions of Financial Advisors"
on page 36), the Source Board, after discussion and consideration of the
relevant factors, unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and voted to
recommend the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement to the Source
stockholders.

Our companies signed the Merger Agreement in Orlando, Florida on February
1, 1998, and announced the transaction on February 2, 1998.

REASONS FOR THE MERGER; RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BOARDS

After the combination, New Romac will have 86 locations with a presence in
25 major domestic markets, 18 secondary markets, and one international market.
We believe that the markets served by the separate companies complement one
another, with the strengths of each company tending to counterbalance weaknesses
of the other.

There is little major customer duplication or overlap. Source maintains
offices in 42 cities throughout the United States and in Toronto, of which 19
United States cities are also served by current Romac offices. Although the
Merger will create overlap of functional areas in certain locations, customer
overlap in these locations is minimal. As a result, the Merger will effectively
broaden the base of customers for New Romac as compared to Romac and Source
separately before the Merger. We believe that this will allow New Romac to focus
on further penetration of a wider customer base through the offering of more
integrated services and wider geographic service capability. The Merger will
allow New Romac to offer its professional specialty staffing services over a
nationwide network of offices.

After the Merger, New Romac will be a major specialty staffing
organizations offering a broad range of geographic coverage for customers with
multi-location requirements. We plan to integrate the two companies into one. We
expect that this will facilitate a more efficient, timely, consistent, and
competitive delivery of services on a national basis. We intend that the size
and geographic scope of the combined operation will position New Romac as the
preferred vendor for specialty staffing services.

The transaction will be structured as a tax free merger, thereby preserving
existing cash for any operational needs and for future expansion. Because
geographic reach will expand as a result of the Merger, it is expected that the
focus of any future acquisitions can be more strategic. In addition, accounting
for the transaction as a pooling of interests will avoid capitalization of
goodwill and a goodwill amortization expense charge against future earnings.

The companies believe that the Merger presents an excellent opportunity to
build depth of management and operating personnel in the face of the shortage of
qualified people. The hands-on operating knowledge of the combined management
team will enhance New Romac's ultimate goal of providing world class customer
service.

Because the central theme of both companies is "customer intimacy," it is
expected that the Merger will result in an overall increase in value added to
the customer. We expect that as a result of the shared visions of this unique
approach to customer service in a competitive industry, and because of the
combined expertise in specialty staffing services, New Romac will be able to
advance even more rapidly to our mutual goals of effective business solutions.

Because the operations of the companies are similar, New Romac will have
the opportunity to draw on the best practices from both companies as the two
companies are integrated into one.

New Romac will have access to an expanded database of accounting,
information technology, and other specialty services professionals nationwide.
We expect that this expanded data base of professionals will allow for more
efficient intermediation between clients and candidates. This expanded data base
will also create an

32
<PAGE> 41

additional supply of highly skilled professionals for deployment in the Emerging
Technologies business unit of New Romac.

We believe that the similar histories and cultures of Romac and Source
will, when combined, provide New Romac with a rich sense of the combined past.
We expect that this will position New Romac to provide a stronger sense of
belonging, and therefore, improve retention of operating personnel and people on
assignment.

We believe that the specialty staffing industry is experiencing
consolidation and increased competition, and therefore, we expect that the
Merger will allow New Romac to compete more effectively in a rapidly
consolidating industry.

We believe that there are various cost-savings and synergies, economies of
scale and efficiencies that will result from the Merger.

The Source Board believes that in light of its view of (a) the financial
condition, results of operations, business and prospects of Source generally,
(b) the increasingly competitive environment in which Source operates, and (c)
the risks and consequences of remaining independent in a consolidating market,
that the Merger will permit Source's stockholders to participate in a combined
enterprise that is expected to have a greater potential for increases in
stockholder value than Source would have alone.

In determining that the Merger is fair to and in the best interests of
Source and its stockholders, the Source Board consulted with its senior
management and its financial and legal advisors and considered a number of
factors, including the following: (i) alternatives to the Merger, including
mergers with other staffing companies; (ii) the expectation that the Merger
would provide Source stockholders with Romac shares in a tax-free exchange for
federal income tax purposes; (iii) that the exchange ratio represents a premium
of approximately 25% over the 10, 20, and 30-trading day average prices of
Source's Common Stock immediately before the public announcement of the Merger;
and (iv) the fact that the Merger is conditioned upon approval by holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Source Common Stock. The Source Board also
considered the financial and other terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement,
including that three Source directors would serve on the Romac Board.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the
respective Boards is not intended to be exhaustive, but is believed to include
all material factors considered by the respective Boards in connection with
their decision to approve the Merger. In view of the wide variety of factors,
both positive and negative, considered and the complexity of such matters, the
Boards did not find it practical to, and did not, quantify, rank or otherwise
assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching their
decisions. In addition, the Boards did not undertake to make any specific
determination as to whether any particular factor (or any aspect of any
particular factor) was favorable or unfavorable to their ultimate determinations
but, rather, conducted a wide ranging discussion of the factors described above,
including asking questions of management and legal and financial advisors,
following which the Boards developed a general consensus that the Merger was in
the best interest of Romac and Source, respectively, and their stockholders. In
addition, different members of the Boards may have given different weight to
different factors.

Recommendations of the Boards

EACH OF OUR BOARDS OF DIRECTORS BELIEVES THAT THE TERMS OF THE MERGER ARE
FAIR TO, AND IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF, THEIR RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS AND HAVE,
BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF ALL DIRECTORS PRESENT, APPROVED THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT THEIR
RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE MERGER PROPOSAL AND THE SOURCE PROPOSAL.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

It is a condition to completing the Merger that Romac and Source receive
from Price Waterhouse LLP a letter, dated as of the closing date of the Merger,
confirming their opinion previously delivered to us, to the effect that they
concur with the conclusions of Romac's and Source's management that the
transactions

33
<PAGE> 42

contemplated by the Merger Agreement, if consummated, will qualify as a pooling
of interests under Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations, of the Accounting
Principles Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Under this accounting method, the assets and liabilities of Source will be
carried forward to New Romac at their historical recorded bases. Results of
operations of New Romac will include the results of both Romac and Source for
the entire fiscal year in which the Merger occurs. The reported balance sheet
amounts and results of operations of the separate companies for prior periods
will be combined, reclassified, and conformed, as appropriate, to reflect the
combined financial position and results of operations for New Romac. See
"Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information" on page 13.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following discussion summarizes the material federal income tax
consequences of the Merger and is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and applicable regulations, administrative
interpretations, and court decisions. Future legislation, regulations,
administrative interpretations or court decisions could significantly change
those consequences, either prospectively or retroactively. We do not address all
aspects of federal income taxation that might be important to a shareholder in
light of such shareholder's particular circumstances, or to shareholders that
are subject to special rules, such as shareholders who are not citizens or
residents of the United States, financial institutions, tax-exempt
organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, or shareholders who
acquired their Source shares pursuant to the exercise of options or similar
derivative securities or otherwise as compensation. This discussion assumes that
Source stockholders hold their shares of stock as capital assets within the
meaning of Section 1221 of the Code.

It is a condition to the obligations of our companies under the Merger
Agreement that Source receive an opinion from Holland & Knight LLP stating that
the Merger will constitute a reorganization and describing certain other federal
income tax consequences of the Merger, most of which are described below.
Neither Romac nor Source intends to obtain a ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service (the "IRS") with respect to the tax consequences of the Merger. We
believe, based on the opinion of Holland & Knight LLP, that the Merger will have
the federal income tax consequences discussed below. Romac also believes, based
on the opinion of Holland & Knight LLP, that the Merger will not be a taxable
transaction to holders of Romac Common Stock. The opinion of counsel referred to
above will assume the absence of changes in existing facts and may rely on
assumptions, representations, and covenants, including those contained in
certificates of officers of Romac, Source, and others. The opinion neither binds
nor precludes the IRS from adopting a contrary position. An opinion of counsel
expresses such counsel's legal judgment and has no binding effect or official
status of any kind, and no assurance can be given that contrary positions will
not be successfully asserted by the IRS or adopted by a court if the issues are
litigated.

Tax Implications to Romac Shareholders. No gain or loss will be recognized
for federal income tax purposes by holders of Romac Common Stock as a result of
the Merger.

Tax Implications to Source Stockholders. Except as discussed below and in
the immediately following paragraph, (a) no gain or loss will be recognized for
federal income tax purposes by holders of Source Common Stock who receive Romac
Common Stock pursuant to the Merger except to the extent of cash received in
lieu of fractional shares and (b) the aggregate tax basis of Romac Common Stock
received as a result of the Merger will be the same as the stockholder's
aggregate tax basis in his Source Common Stock (reduced by any such tax basis
allocable to fractional shares for which cash is received). The holding period
of the Romac Common Stock received by former Source stockholders as a result of
the Merger will include the period during which such stockholder held Source
Common Stock. Cash received by a holder of Source Common Stock in lieu of a
fractional share interest in Romac Common Stock will result in the recognition
of gain or loss for federal income tax purposes, measured by the difference
between the amount of cash received and the portion of the tax basis of the
share of Source Common Stock allocable to such fractional share interest. Such
gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or
loss if such share of Source Common Stock has been held for more than 18 months
at the Effective Time.

THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE ONLY A GENERAL SUMMARY, AND
DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OR DESCRIPTION OF ALL POTENTIAL
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER. IN ADDITION, THE FOREGOING
DISCUSSION DOES NOT ADDRESS TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY VARY WITH, OR ARE
CONTINGENT ON, INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. MOREOVER, THIS DISCUSSION DOES NOT
ADDRESS ANY NON-INCOME TAX OR ANY FOREIGN, STATE, OR LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF
THE MERGER. THIS DISCUSSION DOES NOT ADDRESS THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ANY
TRANSACTION OTHER THAN THE MERGER AND, ACCORDINGLY, EACH STOCKHOLDER IS STRONGLY
URGED TO CONSULT WITH SUCH STOCKHOLDER'S TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR
UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, OR FOREIGN INCOME OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES
OF THE MERGER TO SUCH STOCKHOLDER.

Tax Implications to Romac or Source. No gain or loss will be recognized
for federal income tax purposes by Romac or Source as a result of the Merger.

REGULATORY APPROVALS

Under the HSR Act, and the rules of the Federal Trade Commission (the
"FTC"), the Merger may not be consummated until notifications have been given
and certain information has been furnished to the FTC and the Antitrust Division
of the United States Department of Justice (the "Antitrust Division") and
specified waiting period requirements have expired or been terminated. Romac and
Source filed notification and report forms under the HSR Act with the FTC and
the Antitrust Division on February 6, 1998, and the waiting period has expired.

There is no assurance that a challenge to the Merger on antitrust grounds
will not be made or that, if such a challenge were made, Romac and Source would
prevail or would not be required to accept certain adverse conditions in order
to consummate the Merger.

NO APPRAISAL RIGHTS

Holders of Source Common Stock and Romac Common Stock are not entitled to
appraisal rights in connection with the Merger. See "Certain Differences in the
Rights of Romac Shareholders and Source Stockholders -- Dissenters' Rights of
Appraisal" on page 75.

OPINIONS OF FINANCIAL ADVISORS

OPINION OF THE ROBINSON-HUMPHREY COMPANY LLC

The Source Board retained Robinson-Humphrey to advise it with respect to
the fairness to the stockholders of Source, from a financial point of view, of
the Exchange Ratio. Robinson-Humphrey is a nationally recognized investment
banking firm and was selected by the Source Board because of Robinson-
Humphrey's knowledge of the staffing industry and its merger and acquisition
experience and expertise. As part of its investment banking business,
Robinson-Humphrey is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and
securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, underwritings,
competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities,
private placements, and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes.

At the January 31, 1998 meeting of the Source Board, Robinson-Humphrey
delivered its oral opinion and written analysis and subsequently on February 1,
1998 delivered its written opinion that, based upon and subject to various
considerations set forth in such opinion, as of January 31, 1998, the Exchange
Ratio agreed to in the Merger Agreement was fair to the Source stockholders from
a financial point of view. No limitations were imposed by the Source Board upon
Robinson-Humphrey with respect to the investigations made or the procedures
followed by Robinson-Humphrey in rendering its opinion. All references below to
Robinson-Humphrey's opinion refer to Robinson-Humphrey's written opinion dated
February 1, 1998, unless otherwise indicated.

ROBINSON-HUMPHREY'S OPINION SETS FORTH THE ASSUMPTIONS MADE, MATTERS
CONSIDERED AND LIMITS ON THE REVIEW UNDERTAKEN. THE FULL TEXT APPEARS AS
APPENDIX II TO THIS JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND IS INCORPORATED HEREIN
BY REFERENCE. SOURCE STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE OPINION CAREFULLY IN ITS
ENTIRETY. ROBINSON-HUMPHREY'S OPINION IS DIRECTED ONLY TO THE FAIRNESS OF THE
PROPOSED EXCHANGE RATIO FROM A FINANCIAL POINT OF VIEW, IS INTENDED FOR THE USE
AND BENEFIT OF THE SOURCE BOARD, AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A RECOMMENDATION TO ANY
SOURCE STOCKHOLDER OR ROMAC SHAREHOLDER AS TO HOW SUCH STOCKHOLDER OR
SHAREHOLDER SHOULD VOTE. THIS SUMMARY OF THE OPINION OF ROBINSON-HUMPHREY IS
QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCES TO THE FULL TEXT OF SUCH OPINION.

In arriving at its opinion, Robinson-Humphrey reviewed and analyzed (1) the
Merger Agreement, (2) publicly available information concerning Source and Romac
that Robinson-Humphrey believed to be relevant to its inquiry, (3) financial and
operating information with respect to the business operations and prospects of
Source and Romac furnished to Robinson-Humphrey by Source and Romac, (4) trading
histories of Source Common Stock and Romac Common Stock, (5) a comparison of the
historical financial results and present financial condition of Source and Romac
with those of other companies that Robinson-Humphrey deemed relevant, (6) a
comparison of the financial terms of the proposed transaction with the financial
terms of certain other transactions that Robinson-Humphrey deemed relevant, and
(7) certain historical data relating to percentage premiums paid in acquisitions
of publicly traded companies. In addition, Robinson-Humphrey held discussions
with the managements of Source and Romac concerning their businesses and
operations, assets, present conditions, and future prospects, and undertook such
other studies, analyses, and investigations as Robinson-Humphrey deemed
appropriate.

Robinson-Humphrey relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the
financial and other information used by Robinson-Humphrey in arriving at its
opinion, without independent verification. In arriving at such opinion,
Robinson-Humphrey did not conduct a physical inspection of the properties and
facilities of Source or Romac. Robinson-Humphrey did not make or obtain any
evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of Source or of Romac.
Robinson-Humphrey further relied upon the assurances of management that they
were not aware of any facts that would make such information inaccurate or
misleading. With respect to financial forecasts, Robinson-Humphrey assumed that
such financial forecasts were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best
currently available estimates and judgments of management of Source and Romac as

36
<PAGE> 45

to the future financial performance of Source and Romac, respectively.
Robinson-Humphrey assumed no responsibility for and expressed no view as to such
forecasts or the assumptions on which they were based. Source has informed
Robinson-Humphrey and Robinson-Humphrey has assumed that the Merger will be
recorded using the pooling of interests method of accounting. Robinson-Humphrey
did not express any opinion about an expected price of Romac Common Stock when
issued to the holders of Source Common Stock pursuant to the Merger or the price
at which Romac Common Stock may trade subsequent to the Merger.

Robinson-Humphrey's opinion was necessarily based upon market, economic,
and other conditions as they may have existed and could be evaluated as of
January 31, 1998. The financial markets in general, and the markets for the
securities of Source and Romac, in particular, are subject to volatility, and
Robinson-Humphrey's opinion did not purport to address potential developments in
the financial markets or the markets for the securities of Source or Romac after
the date thereof. The opinion did not address the underlying business decision
of Source to effect the proposed transaction. Robinson-Humphrey assumed that the
proposed transaction would be consummated on the terms described in the Merger
Agreement, without any waiver of any material terms or conditions by Source or
Romac.

In connection with the preparation of its fairness opinion,
Robinson-Humphrey performed certain financial and comparative analyses, the
material portions of which are summarized below. The summary set forth below
includes the financial analyses used by Robinson-Humphrey and deemed to be
material, but does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses
performed by Robinson-Humphrey in arriving at its opinion. The preparation of a
fairness opinion involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and
relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to
the particular circumstances, and therefore, such an opinion is not readily
susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In addition,
Robinson-Humphrey believes that its analyses must be considered as an integrated
whole, and that selecting portions of such analyses and the factors considered
by it, without considering all of such analyses and factors, could create a
misleading or an incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses set
forth in the opinion. In performing its analyses, Robinson-Humphrey made
numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and
economic conditions, and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of
Source or Romac. Any estimates contained in such analyses are not necessarily
indicative of actual past or future results or values, which may be
significantly more or less favorable than as set forth therein. Estimates of
values of companies or parts of companies do not purport to be appraisals or
necessarily to reflect the price at which such companies or parts may actually
be sold, and such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty. No public
company utilized as a comparison is identical to Source or Romac. An analysis of
the results of such a comparison is not mathematical; rather, it involves
complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and
operating characteristics of the comparable companies and other factors that
could affect the public trading values of companies to which Source and Romac
are being compared.

The following is a summary of certain analyses performed by
Robinson-Humphrey in connection with rendering its opinion. Robinson-Humphrey
presented an oral opinion and the written analyses discussed below at a meeting
of the Source Board on January 31, 1998 and provided the written opinion on
February 1, 1998.

Comparable Public Company Analysis. Robinson-Humphrey compared certain
publicly available financial, operating, and market valuation data for selected
public companies in the staffing industry to the corresponding data for Source
and Romac. Robinson-Humphrey considered two industry groupings for the purposes
of this analysis: specialty staffing and the staffing industry as a whole (of
which specialty staffing is a sub-grouping). Robinson-Humphrey considered the
following public specialty staffing firms: Alternative Resources Corporation,
On-Assignment, Inc. and Robert Half International, Inc. The staffing industry
analysis considered the companies included in the specialty staffing
sub-grouping and the following public staffing firms: AccuStaff Incorporated,
CORESTAFF, Inc., Interim Services, Inc., Kelly Services, Inc., Manpower, Inc.,
Norrell Corporation, Olsten Corp., Personnel Group of America, Inc., RemedyTemp,
Inc., StaffMark, Inc., and Western Staff Services, Inc. Robinson-Humphrey
calculated various financial ratios and multiples based upon the closing prices
of the common stock of the comparable companies as of January 30, 1998 and the
most recent publicly available information for the various companies. The
following valuation

37
<PAGE> 46

ratios were used in determining ranges of implied equity values of Source: price
per share to 1997, 1998, and 1999 earnings per share ("EPS") estimates as
promulgated by industry analysts and firm value (defined as equity value plus
debt minus cash) to latest twelve months ("LTM") revenues, LTM earnings before
interest and taxes ("EBIT") and LTM earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). In addition, Robinson-Humphrey applied
EPS growth premiums (or discounts as the ratios dictated) to the average
multiples of the staffing industry and the specialty staffing firms to determine
ranges of implied equity values of Source. These growth premiums were calculated
as (a) the ratio of Source projected EPS growth rate from 1997 to 1998 as
estimated by Robinson-Humphrey to the average projected EPS growth rates of the
specialty staffing firms as estimated by industry analysts and (b) the ratio of
Source projected EPS growth rate from 1997 to 1998 as estimated by
Robinson-Humphrey to the average projected EPS growth rates of the staffing
firms as estimated by industry analysts. Robinson-Humphrey applied these
multiples and growth premiums (discounts) to Source's 1997, 1998, and 1999 net
income projections prepared by Source's management and to 1997 revenues, 1997
EBIT, and 1997 EBITDA estimates as provided by Source management. Using the
preceding multiples and applying the EPS growth premiums (discounts) to the
appropriate analyses, Robinson-Humphrey calculated implied equity values per
share ranging from $19.83 to $38.79 and $16.99 to $23.59 using specialty
staffing industry multiples and staffing industry multiples, respectively.
Robinson-Humphrey then calculated both unweighted average implied equity values
per share and weighted average implied equity values per share. The unweighted
average implied equity values per share were $22.52 using specialty staffing
industry multiples and $20.51 using staffing industry multiples. The weighted
average, which assigned greater importance to Source's net income projected for
1998 and 1999 and EBIT and EBITDA estimated for 1997, implied equity values per
share of $22.28 using specialty staffing industry multiples and $20.27 using
staffing industry multiples.

Robinson-Humphrey applied the same methodology to derive a range of implied
equity values per share of Romac's Common Stock using specialty staffing
industry multiples and specialty staffing industry multiples. Robinson-Humphrey
applied the above-referenced multiples to Romac's 1997, 1998, and 1999 net
income projections provided by the management of Romac and to publicly available
LTM revenues, LTM EBIT, and LTM EBITDA. Using the above-referenced multiples and
applying the EPS growth premiums (discounts) to the appropriate analyses,
Robinson-Humphrey calculated implied equity values per share ranging from $18.29
to $27.73 and $14.45 to $25.07 using specialty staffing industry multiples and
staffing industry multiples, respectively. Robinson-Humphrey then calculated
both unweighted average implied equity values per share and weighted average
implied equity values per share. The unweighted average implied equity values
per share were $22.12 using specialty staffing industry multiples and $19.24
using staffing industry multiples. The weighted average, which assigned greater
importance to Romac's net income projected for 1998 and 1999 and EBIT and EBITDA
estimated for 1997, implied equity values per share of $23.76 using specialty
staffing industry multiples and $21.32 using staffing industry multiples.

Analysis of Selected Mergers and Acquisitions. Robinson-Humphrey reviewed
and compared the consideration paid in selected mergers and acquisitions in the
staffing industry since June 1995, including Comforce, Inc.'s acquisition of
Uniforce Services, Inc., Registry, Inc.'s acquisition of Renaissance Solutions,
Inc., AccuStaff Incorporated's acquisition of Career Horizons, Inc., Interim
Services, Inc.'s acquisition of Brandon Systems Corp., Sun Healthcare Group,
Inc.'s acquisition of CareerStaff Unlimited, Inc. and various acquisitions
involving private targets that were available to Robinson-Humphrey.
Robinson-Humphrey noted that none of the selected transactions reviewed was
identical to the Merger and that, accordingly, the analysis of comparable
transactions necessarily involves complex considerations and judgments
concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of Romac and
other factors that would affect the acquisition value of comparable
transactions. Robinson-Humphrey compared firm value to LTM revenues, LTM EBIT
and LTM EBITDA, and equity value to 1997 net income and most recent book value.
Robinson-Humphrey applied the resulting transaction multiples to Source
management's estimates of 1997 net income, revenues, EBITDA and EBIT and used
Source management's estimate of book value as of December 31, 1997.
Robinson-Humphrey derived implied equity values per share using the average
multiples from mergers and acquisitions involving publicly traded targets and
the average multiples from mergers and acquisitions of both public and private
targets. Robinson-Humphrey computed implied equity values per share ranging from
$23.32 to $31.97 using public target multiples and from $20.42 to $35.57 using
combined public/private target multiples. Robinson-

38
<PAGE> 47

Humphrey then calculated both unweighted average implied equity values per share
and weighted average implied equity values per share. The unweighted average
implied equity values per share were $26.72 using public target multiples and
$22.05 using combined public/private target multiples. The weighted average,
which assigned greater importance to Source's estimated 1997 net income, EBIT
and EBITDA, implied equity values per share of $26.70 using public target
multiples and $23.17 using combined public/private multiples.

Acquisition Premiums Analysis. Robinson-Humphrey analyzed the premiums
paid for 174 recent mergers and acquisitions of publicly traded companies with
transaction values in the range of $200 million to $500 million that were
announced between January 1, 1996 and January 21, 1998. The average premiums
paid over the targets' stock prices four weeks before the announcement date, one
week before the announcement date, and one day before the announcement date were
36.6%, 31.2% and 26.8%, respectively. Robinson-Humphrey applied the premium to
Source's stock price as of January 2, 1998 (four weeks before the proposed
announcement date), January 23, 1998 (one week before the proposed announcement
date) and January 30, 1998 (one day before the proposed announcement date). The
implied per share values based on the average percent premium paid compared to
four weeks before, one week before, and one day before to the announcement date
applied to Source's stock price on the corresponding dates listed above ranged
from $26.57 to $29.55 and averaged $27.64.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Robinson-Humphrey performed a discounted
cash flow analysis using Source management's financial projections to estimate
the net present value of Source's Common Stock, Robinson-Humphrey calculated a
range of net present values of Source's free cash flows (defined as after tax
earnings before interest plus depreciation and amortization, less capital
expenditures and any increase in net working capital) for the years 1998 through
2002 using discount rates ranging from 12% to 17% and calculated a range of net
present values of Source's terminal values using the same range of discount
rates and multiples ranging from 7x to 9x projected EBITDA for 2002. The present
values of the free cash flows were then added to the corresponding present
values of the terminal values. After deducting Source's net debt as of December
31, 1997, Robinson-Humphrey arrived at an indicated range of net present value
per share of Source Common Stock from $25.74 to $38.51 with an average of
$31.57.

Robinson-Humphrey performed a discounted cash flow analysis using Romac
management's financial projections to estimate the net present value of Romac's
Common Stock. Robinson-Humphrey calculated a range of net present values of
Romac's free cash flows for the years 1998 through 2002 using discount rates
ranging from 10% to 15% and calculated a range of net present values of Romac's
terminal values using the same range of discount rates and multiples ranging
from 10x to 12x projected EBITDA for 2002. The present values of the free cash
flows were then added to the corresponding present values of the terminal
values. After deducting Romac's net debt, Robinson-Humphrey arrived at an
indicated range of net present value per share of Romac Common Stock from $22.24
to $31.11 with an average of $26.30.

Pro Forma Merger Analysis. Robinson-Humphrey reviewed certain pro forma
financial effects on Romac resulting from the proposed transaction for the
projected fiscal years ending December 31, 1998 and 1999. Robinson-Humphrey
performed this analysis using projections for 1998 and 1999 provided by
Robinson-Humphrey and Baird research analysts for Source and Romac,
respectively. In addition, Robinson-Humphrey performed a separate pro forma
merger analysis using projections provided to Robinson-Humphrey by Source
management and Romac management. Both analyses were based upon certain
assumptions, including, for the latter analysis, that the projections provided
to Robinson-Humphrey by the management of Source and the management of Romac
were accurate. Robinson-Humphrey assumed no pre-tax synergies resulting from the
transaction until 1999. The synergies estimates were mutually agreed upon by the
management of Source and the management of Romac. Using both the analysts'
projections and the managements' projections, in each of the years analyzed, the
proposed transaction would be accretive to Romac's projected earnings per share,
revenues per share, and EBITDA per share. Robinson-Humphrey assumed that the
proposed transaction would be accounted for under the pooling of interests
method of accounting.

Information Concerning Source's Financial Advisor. In the past,
Robinson-Humphrey has been engaged by Source as an underwriter and financial
advisor and has received customary fees for its services. In

39
<PAGE> 48

the ordinary course of Robinson-Humphrey's business, Robinson-Humphrey and its
affiliates actively trade in Source's Common Stock for their own accounts and
for the accounts of their customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a
long or a short position in such securities.

Source engaged Robinson-Humphrey to provide investment banking advice and
services to Source in connection with Source's review and analysis of potential
business combinations, including in connection with a potential transaction
involving Source and Romac. Source agreed to pay Robinson-Humphrey a retainer of
$25,000 upon engagement and a fee of $400,000 (collectively, the "Advisory Fee")
upon rendering an opinion as to whether or not the Exchange Ratio in a business
combination is fair to the Source stockholders from a financial point of view.
In addition, if the Merger is consummated, Source has agreed to pay Robinson-
Humphrey additional compensation based on a percentage of the total transaction
value, less the amount of the Advisory Fee. The additional compensation will be
approximately $2.75 million. Source has agreed to reimburse Robinson-Humphrey
for reasonable expenses incurred by Robinson-Humphrey, including fees and
disbursements of counsel, and to indemnify Robinson-Humphrey against certain
liabilities in connection with its engagement, including liabilities under the
federal securities laws.

Robinson-Humphrey has agreed to pay $250,000 from the contingent additional
fee due to Robinson-Humphrey upon closing of the Merger to compensate Michael
Long for consulting services rendered to Source in connection with the Merger.
In addition, Dain Rauscher is entitled to 20% of the sum of the Advisory Fee and
any contingent or success fee (net of the above-referenced consulting fee due to
Mr. Long) payable to Robinson-Humphrey by Source upon closing of the Merger.
Such remuneration to Dain Rauscher represents a fee solely in connection with
the Merger and is not payable to Dain Rauscher unless the Merger is consummated.

OPINION OF ROBERT W. BAIRD & CO. INCORPORATED

In its role as financial advisor to Romac in connection with the Merger,
Baird was asked by the Romac Board to render its opinion as to the fairness of
the Exchange Ratio, from a financial point of view, to Romac. On January 30,
1998, Baird rendered its oral opinion to the Romac Board to the effect that, as
of such date, the Exchange Ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to
Romac.

BAIRD'S OPINION, DATED JANUARY 30, 1998, SETS FORTH THE ASSUMPTIONS MADE,
GENERAL PROCEDURES FOLLOWED, MATTERS CONSIDERED AND LIMITATIONS ON THE SCOPE OF
REVIEW UNDERTAKEN BY BAIRD IN RENDERING ITS OPINION. THE FULL TEXT IS ATTACHED
AS APPENDIX III TO THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY
REFERENCE. BAIRD'S OPINION IS DIRECTED ONLY TO THE FAIRNESS, FROM A FINANCIAL
POINT OF VIEW, OF THE EXCHANGE RATIO TO ROMAC AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A
RECOMMENDATION TO ANY ROMAC SHAREHOLDER AS TO HOW SUCH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD VOTE
WITH RESPECT TO THE MERGER PROPOSAL. A SUMMARY OF BAIRD'S OPINION AND A
DESCRIPTION OF BAIRD'S ANALYSES UNDERLYING ITS OPINION, SUPPLIED TO ROMAC BY
BAIRD, APPEARS BELOW. THE SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO
THE FULL TEXT OF THE OPINION, ATTACHED AS APPENDIX III. ROMAC SHAREHOLDERS ARE
URGED TO READ THE OPINION CAREFULLY IN ITS ENTIRETY.

In conducting its investigation and analysis and in arriving at its opinion
attached as Appendix III, Baird has reviewed such information and taken into
account such financial and economic factors as Baird deemed relevant under the
circumstances. In that connection, Baird has, among other things: (i) reviewed
certain internal information, primarily financial in nature, including
projections, concerning the business and operations of Romac and Source
furnished to Baird for purposes of its analysis, as well as publicly available
information, including Romac's and Source's most recent filings with the SEC and
research reports on Romac and Source prepared by the equity analysts of various
investment banking firms, including Baird; (ii) reviewed the draft Merger
Agreement in the form presented to Romac's Board of Directors on January 30,
1998, which included the Exchange Ratio; (iii) compared the financial position
and operating results of Romac and Source with those of other publicly traded
companies Baird deemed relevant; (iv) compared the historical market

40
<PAGE> 49

prices and trading activity of Romac Common Stock and Source Common Stock with
those of certain other publicly traded companies Baird deemed relevant; (v)
compared the proposed financial terms of the Merger with the financial terms of
certain other business combinations Baird deemed relevant; and (vi) reviewed
certain potential pro forma effects of the Merger on Romac. Baird held
discussions with members of Source's and Romac's senior management concerning
Source's and Romac's historical and current financial condition and operating
results, as well as future prospects. Baird also considered such other
information, financial studies, analyses, and investigations and financial,
economic, and market criteria that Baird deemed relevant for the preparation of
its opinion. Romac and Source determined the Exchange Ratio in arms-length
negotiations. Romac did not place any limitation upon Baird with respect to the
procedures followed or factors considered by Baird in rendering its opinion.

In arriving at its opinion, Baird assumed and relied upon the accuracy and
completeness of all of the financial and other information that was publicly
available or provided to Baird by or on behalf of Romac and Source, and was not
engaged to verify any such information independently. Baird assumed, with
Romac's consent, (i) that all material assets and liabilities (contingent or
otherwise) of Romac and Source are as set forth in their respective financial
statements, (ii) the Merger will be accounted for as a pooling of interests
transaction, (iii) the strategic and operating benefits currently contemplated
by Romac's and Source's management will be realized and (iv) the Merger will be
consummated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, without any material
amendment thereto and without waiver by Romac or Source of any of the material
conditions to their respective obligations thereunder. Baird also assumed that
the financial forecasts of Romac and Source examined by Baird were reasonably
prepared on a basis reflecting the best available estimates and good faith
judgments of Romac's senior management as to future performance of Romac, and
Source's senior management as to future performance of Source. In conducting its
review, Baird has not undertaken or obtained an independent evaluation or
appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Romac
or Source. Baird's opinion necessarily is based upon economic, monetary, and
market conditions as they existed and could be evaluated on the date of the
opinion, and does not predict or take into account any changes that may have
occurred, or information that may have become available, after the date of the
opinion. Baird's opinion does not constitute an opinion as to the price at which
Romac Common Stock will actually trade at any time. Baird's opinion will not be
updated prior to consummation of the Merger.

In connection with preparing its opinion on January 30, 1998, Baird
conducted a variety of financial analyses summarized below with respect to Romac
and Source:

Analysis of Source Valuation Multiples. Baird calculated the "Implied
Consideration" to be $371.9 million, obtained by multiplying an assumed
Exchange Ratio of 1.1932 by the last sale price per share of Romac Common
Stock of $22.00 per share on January 28, 1998, resulting in an "Implied
Price" of $26.25 for each share of Source Common Stock, and multiplying the
Implied Price by the total number of outstanding shares of Source Common
Stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, less net
proceeds from the exercise of such stock options. In performing its
analysis, Baird used, among other items, operating statistics for Source's
LTM through December 31, 1997, as provided by Source management. Baird
calculated multiples of the Implied Price to Source's LTM fully diluted
earnings per share and its projected net income for calendar year 1998
(based on Source's management estimates) and multiples of Source's
"Enterprise Value" (defined as the market value of the common equity plus
the book value of total debt, less excess cash and cash equivalents) to its
LTM revenues, its LTM EBITDA and its LTM EBIT. The calculations resulted in
ratios of the Implied Consideration to net income ("P/E Ratios") of 35.2x
based on LTM results and 25.1x based on projected 1998 results. Based on
the Implied Consideration, the ratio of Enterprise Value to LTM revenues
was 1.2x, the ratio of Enterprise Value to LTM EBITDA was 17.8x and the
ratio of Enterprise Value to LTM EBIT was 19.6x.

Analysis of Selected Publicly Traded Source Comparable
Companies. Baird reviewed certain publicly available financial information
as of the most recently reported period and stock market information as of
January 28, 1998 for certain selected publicly traded companies that Baird
deemed comparable. Such comparable companies consisted of: AccuStaff
Incorporated, Alternative Resources Corp., CORESTAFF, Inc., Data Processing
Resources Corporation, Interim Services Inc., Robert Half International
Inc., Select Appointments (Holdings) PLC and StaffMark, Inc. For each
comparable

41
<PAGE> 50

company, Baird calculated multiples as of January 28, 1998 of Enterprise
Value to LTM revenues, LTM EBITDA and LTM EBIT. Baird then compared these
multiples to the relevant Source multiples based on a Source share price of
$26.25 (the "Implied Price"). An analysis of the multiples of Enterprise
Value to LTM revenues, LTM EBITDA and LTM EBIT yielded 1.2x, 17.8x and
19.6x, respectively, for Source compared to medians of 1.2x, 13.0x and
19.0x, respectively for Source's comparable companies. For Source and each
comparable company, Baird also calculated P/E ratios as of January 28, 1998
based on market stock prices as of such date and LTM earnings per share and
estimated earnings per share (derived from equity research analysts'
reports) for the comparable companies for calendar years 1997 and 1998. An
analysis of the P/E Ratios based on earnings per share for Source LTM and
1998 yielded 35.2x and 25.1x, respectively, compared to LTM, 1997 and 1998
medians of 27.8x, 25.8x and 19.7x, respectively, for Source's comparable
companies.

Analysis of Selected Publicly Traded Romac Comparable Companies. In
order to assess the relative public market valuation of the Romac Common
Stock to be used by Romac in exchange for Source Common Stock, Baird
reviewed certain publicly available financial information as of the most
recently reported period and stock market information as of January 28,
1998 for certain selected publicly traded companies which Baird deemed
comparable. Such comparable companies consisted of: AccuStaff Incorporated,
Alternative Resources Corp., CORESTAFF, Inc., Data Processing Resources
Corporation, Interim Services, Inc., Robert Half International Inc., Select
Appointments (Holdings) PLC and StaffMark, Inc. For each comparable
company, Baird calculated multiples as of January 28, 1998 of Enterprise
Value to LTM revenues, LTM EBITDA and LTM EBIT. Baird then compared these
multiples to the relevant Romac multiples based on a Romac share price of
$22.00. An analysis of the multiples of Enterprise Value to LTM revenues,
LTM EBITDA and LTM EBIT yielded 3.3x, 28.8x and 35.3x, respectively, for
Romac compared to medians of 1.2x, 13.0x and 19.0x, respectively for
Romac's comparable companies. For Romac and each comparable company, Baird
also calculated P/E ratios as of January 28, 1998 based on market stock
prices as of such date and LTM earnings per share and estimated earnings
per share (derived from equity research analysts' reports) for calendar
years 1997 and 1998. An analysis of the P/E Ratios based on earnings per
share for Romac LTM and 1998 yielded 50.0x and 36.1x, respectively,
compared to LTM, 1997 and 1998 medians of 27.8x, 25.8x and 19.7x,
respectively, for Romac's comparable companies.

Analysis of Selected Comparable Acquisition Transactions. Baird
reviewed selected transactions involving the acquisition of companies in
businesses that Baird deemed relevant. Such transactions were chosen based
on a review of acquired companies that possessed general business,
operating, and financial characteristics representative of companies in the
industry in which Source operates. Baird noted that none of the selected
transactions reviewed was identical to the Merger and that, accordingly,
the analysis of comparable transactions necessarily involves complex
consideration and judgments concerning differences in financial and
operating characteristics of Source and other factors that would affect the
acquisition value of comparable transactions. For each comparable
transaction, Baird calculated multiples of Enterprise Value to LTM
revenues, LTM EBITDA and LTM EBIT; calculated P/E Ratios based on LTM
earnings per share; and calculated the premium paid for the equity in these
transactions over the public market value of the equity at various times
before the announcement of such transaction. Baird then compared those
multiples and premiums to the relevant Source multiples and premiums based
on the Implied Price. These calculations yielded multiples of Enterprise
Value to LTM revenues, LTM EBITDA and LTM EBIT of 1.2x, 17.8x and 19.6x,
respectively, for Source, compared to medians of 2.2x, 21.5x and 25.1x,
respectively for the comparable acquisition transactions. An analysis of
the P/E ratios based on LTM earnings per share yielded 35.2x for Source
compared to a median of 39.8x for the comparable transactions. An analysis
of the Implied Price to the market value of Source shares as of January 28,
1998 to 30 days and 90 days prior thereto, compared to the prices paid for
the equity in such comparable acquisition transactions relative to the
market value of equity one day, 30 days and 90 days before the announcement
date of such transactions, yielded premiums of 24.3%, 29.6% and 32.4%,
respectively, for Source, compared to median premiums of 32.8%, 57.8% and
33.0%, respectively, for the comparable acquisition transactions.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Baird performed a discounted cash flow
analysis of Source on a stand-alone basis using Source management
projections of future EBIT for fiscal years 1998 through 2002 and free cash
flow without taking into account cost savings and synergies that may be
realized following the Merger. In such analysis, Baird assumed terminal
value multiples of 14.0x to 16.0x EBIT in the year 2002 and discount rates
of 13.0% to 17.0%. Such analysis produced implied values of Source shares
ranging from $45.50 to $60.50.

Contribution Analysis. Baird analyzed Romac's and Source's relative
contribution to the combined company with respect to certain measurements,
including revenues, gross profit, EBIT and net income. As a result of the
Merger, Source stockholders will own approximately 35% of the outstanding
Romac Common Stock assuming an Exchange Ratio of 1.1932, which compares to
Source's contribution based on Source's LTM and estimated 1998 statistics,
to the combined companies ranging from 61.9% to 53.1% of revenues, 68.1% to
60.8% of gross profit, 51.0% to 44.1% of EBIT and 47.8% to 40.9% of net
income.

Pro Forma Merger Analysis. Baird prepared pro forma analyses of the
financial impact of the Merger. In conducting its analyses, Baird relied
upon certain assumptions described above and earnings estimates for Source
(prepared by Source management) and Romac (prepared by Romac management).
Baird compared the earnings per share of Romac Common Stock, on a
stand-alone basis, to the earnings per share of the common stock of the
combined companies on a pro forma basis. The analysis (assuming no
transaction-related expenses) indicated that the proposed transaction would
be accretive to Romac on an earnings per share basis. The results of the
pro forma merger analyses are not necessarily indicative of future
operating results or financial position.

Exchange Ratio Analysis. Baird performed an analysis of the
historical trading ratio between Source Common Stock and Romac Common Stock
based on the closing market price per share of Source Common Stock relative
to the closing market price per share of Romac Common Stock for each
trading day during the period from January 1, 1997 through January 28,
1998. This analysis yielded a historical trading ratio during the one-year
period ranging from a low of 0.9000 to a high of 1.4000, with an average
trading ratio during this period of 1.0065. Baird also calculated the ratio
of the per share price on January 28, 1998 of Source Common Stock ($21.00)
to the per share closing price on such day of Romac Common Stock ($22.00).
This yielded a trading ratio of 1.0480.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of the
analyses performed by Baird or of its presentations to the Romac Board. The
preparation of financial analyses and a fairness opinion is a complex process
and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analyses or summary description.
Baird has informed Romac that Baird believes that its analyses (and the summary
set forth above) must be considered as a whole, and that selecting portions of
such analyses and of the factors considered by Baird, without considering all of
such analyses and factors, could create an incomplete view of the processes
underlying the analyses conducted by Baird and its opinion. Baird did not
attempt to assign specific weights to particular analyses. Any estimates
contained in Baird's analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values,
which may be significantly more or less favorable than as set forth therein.
Estimates of values of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily
to reflect the prices at which companies may actually be sold. Because such
estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty, Baird does not assume
responsibility for their accuracy.

Baird, as part of its investment banking business, is continually engaged
in the evaluation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers
and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary
distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements, and
valuations for estate, corporate, and other purposes. Romac retained Baird
because of its experience and expertise in the valuation of businesses and their
securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions. In the ordinary course
of business, Baird may from time to time trade equity securities of Romac and
Source for its own account and for accounts of its customers and, accordingly,
may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

Compensation. Romac agreed to pay Baird a fee of $250,000, payable upon
delivery of its opinion, regardless of the conclusions reached by Baird in such
opinion (such fee to be creditable against the transaction fee described below)
and a transaction fee, payable upon consummation of the Merger, of $2,400,000.
Romac has also agreed to indemnify Baird, its affiliates and their respective
directors, officers,

43
<PAGE> 52

employees and agents and controlling persons against certain liabilities
relating to or arising out of its engagement, including liabilities under the
federal securities laws. In the past, Baird has provided investment banking
services to Romac, including acting as manager in connection with the initial
public offering in August of 1995, a follow-on offering in May of 1996, and a
follow-on offering in November of 1997 of Romac Common Stock for which Baird
received customary compensation.

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE MERGER

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

Romac and Mr. Ward are discussing a possible consulting or employment
relationship with Romac after the Merger to assist in the integration and other
special projects. Any such agreement will provide that Mr. Ward will resign from
the Romac Board upon termination of his employment. The material terms of any
such agreement have not been determined, and there is no assurance that the
parties will agree. If the parties do not agree concerning Mr. Ward's employment
or consulting relationship, he will not serve on the Romac Board and he will
remain subject to his current employment agreement with Source, which will
become an obligation of Romac. The current agreement provides for certain
severance benefits to Mr. Ward if the Merger is completed and he terminates
employment within three months thereafter.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, New Romac expects to assume the
current employment agreement between Mr. Dupont, Chief Financial Officer of
Source, and Source with certain modifications. Mr. Dupont's employment term (the
"Employment Term") expires December 31, 1998, but shall be automatically
extended for additional one year terms unless either party gives notice of
non-renewal by the October 31 immediately preceding the date the extension would
become effective. Mr. Dupont will be paid at his current annual base
compensation rate of $200,000 for the Employment Term, plus an annual bonus. In
addition to the stock options provided under Mr. Dupont's current employment
agreement, it is expected that Mr. Dupont, at no cost to him, will receive
options to purchase 20,000 shares of Romac Common Stock, which will vest and
become exercisable on December 31, 1998. All other terms of the Romac options
will conform to Romac's Stock Option Plan. On January 1, 1999, Mr. Dupont will
receive a cash payment of $100,000. The provision in Mr. Dupont's employment
agreement mitigating excise taxes following a change of control will be extended
to include any change of control other than the Merger occurring on or before
December 31, 1998.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

The Merger Agreement requires Romac to provide indemnification and
liability insurance arrangements for officers and directors of Source consistent
with past practices. See "The Merger Agreement -- Indemnification and
Insurance."

STOCK OPTIONS

Romac maintains a Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan under which
Messrs. Allred and Emigh, directors of Source and proposed directors of Romac,
will be eligible to receive options. See "Romac Management -- Compensation of
Directors." The Merger Agreement requires Romac to assume Source's existing
employee stock options, with certain modifications, and convert them into
options to purchase Romac Common Stock.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

GENERAL

The Merger Agreement contemplates the Merger of Source into Romac, with
Romac being the surviving entity. The Merger will become effective upon the
later of the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of
State or the filing of Articles of Merger with the Florida Secretary of State.
We expect that the filings will be made immediately after the Closing under the
Merger Agreement, which Closing, in turn, should occur as soon as practicable
after the last of the conditions precedent to the Merger in the Merger Agreement
has been satisfied or waived. The Merger Agreement obligates Romac to have the
shares of Romac Common Stock to be issued in the Merger approved for listing on
Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, before the Effective Time. The
following description of the Merger Agreement is qualified by reference to the
complete text of the Merger Agreement that is incorporated by reference herein
and attached hereto as Appendix I.
45
<PAGE> 54

CONSIDERATION TO BE RECEIVED IN THE MERGER

At the Effective Time, (a) each issued and outstanding share of Source
Common Stock (excluding shares held in the treasury of Source, but including
shares held by employee stock ownership plans of Source, and all rights in
respect thereof will be converted into the right to receive 1.1932 shares of
Romac Common Stock, subject to adjustment as described below, (b) each share of
Source Common Stock held in the treasury of Source will be canceled and retired,
and (c) each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase shares of Source
Common Stock will be assumed by Romac and converted into an option to purchase
shares of Romac Common Stock. The number of shares of Romac Common Stock to be
subject to such new options will be determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Source Common Stock subject to the original option by the Exchange
Ratio, and the exercise price with respect thereto will equal the exercise price
under the original option divided by the Exchange Ratio. The new options will
otherwise have the same terms and conditions in effect immediately prior to the
Effective Time except to the extent that such terms or conditions change in
accordance with their terms as a result of the transactions relating to the
Merger.

The Exchange Ratio will be adjusted as follows, based on the weighted
average sales prices of Romac Common Stock, as quoted on Nasdaq, for the 15
consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day before the closing of
the Merger (the "Market Price"). If the Market Price is greater than $24.00 per
share, then the Exchange Ratio will be calculated by dividing $28.636 by the
Market Price. For example, if the Market Price is $26.00, then the Exchange
Ratio will be 1.9014. If the Market Price is less than $20.00 per share, then
the Exchange Ratio will be calculated by dividing $23.864 by the Market Price.
For example, if the Market Price is $18.00 per share, then the Exchange Ratio
will be 1.3258. Romac may terminate the Merger Agreement, however, if the Market
Price is below $20.00 per share. The weighted average market price of Romac
Common Stock during the 15 trading-days ending March 24, 1998 was $25.88. If
that 15 trading-day period were the applicable measurement period under the
Merger Agreement, the holder of 100 shares of Source Common Stock would receive
110 shares of Romac Common Stock plus $17.13 in cash.

For more information about the treatment of Source Common Stock options and
other employee benefit plans under the Merger Agreement, see "Certain Benefits
Matters" and "Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger."

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, shortly after the Effective
Time, Boston Equiserve (the "Exchange Agent") will effect the exchange of
certificates representing shares of Source Common Stock for certificates
representing shares of Romac Common Stock. Romac will from time to time deposit
certificates representing shares of Romac Common Stock with the Exchange Agent
for conversion of shares as described above under "-- Consideration to be
Received in the Merger." Commencing immediately after the Effective Time,
holders of Source Common Stock may surrender their certificates to the Exchange
Agent. In exchange for such share certificates, holders will receive Romac
Common Stock certificates representing such number of shares as described under
"-- Consideration to be Received in the Merger." Holders of unexchanged shares
of Source Common Stock will not be entitled to receive any dividends or other
distributions payable by New Romac until their certificates are surrendered.
Upon surrender, however, subject to applicable laws, such holders will receive
accumulated dividends and distributions, if any, without interest, together with
cash in lieu of fractional shares.

No fractional shares of Romac Common Stock will be issued to holders of
Source Common Stock. For each fractional share that would otherwise be issued,
Romac will pay an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the
fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise have been
entitled by the market price for a share of Romac Common Stock on Nasdaq (based
on a fifteen day weighted average of the sales prices ending the third day
before the closing of the Merger).

NEW ROMAC FOLLOWING THE MERGER

Board. The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Effective Time, the New
Romac Board will consist of 10 members, seven of whom will be current members of
the Romac Board and three of whom, Mr. Ward,
46
<PAGE> 55

Wayne D. Emigh, and John N. Allred, are nominated from among the current members
of the Source Board. Mr. Ward is nominated for election to serve a three-year
term and Mr. Emigh and Mr. Allred will be proposed for election to serve one
year terms. Mr. Emigh from the Source Board will be a member of the Compensation
Committee of the Romac Board. Mr. Emigh and Mr. Allred will be members of the
Audit Committee.

Officers. Mr. Dunkel will continue as chairman and chief executive officer
of Romac and Mr. Swartz will continue as president and chief operating officer.
Mr. Ward, president and chief executive officer of Source, will assist New Romac
with the integration of the two companies and on special projects, in addition
to his service on the New Romac Board.

CERTAIN CONDITIONS

Conditions of Each Party's Obligations to Effect the Merger. In addition

The Merger Agreement contains certain representations and warranties of
Romac and Source concerning, among other things, due organization and good
standing, capitalization, ownership of subsidiaries and other investments,
corporate authority to enter into the contemplated transactions, recent reports

ordinary course consistent with past practices and will try to preserve
substantially intact its business organization, to keep available the services
of officers and employees, and to preserve its present relationships with
significant customers and with other persons and entities with whom it has

Agreement contains a general covenant requiring each of the parties to try to

<PAGE> 57

NO SOLICITATION OF TRANSACTIONS

The Merger Agreement provides that neither Source nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, financial advisors, or agents will, directly or
indirectly, solicit, initiate, encourage (including by way of furnishing
information) or take any other action knowingly to facilitate any inquiries or
proposals that constitute or may reasonably be expected to lead to a Competing
Transaction (defined below), engage in any discussions or negotiations relating
thereto, or accept any Competing Transaction. The prohibition does not apply,
subject to the observance of certain notice, confidentiality, and other
requirements, to certain discussions and negotiations relating to Competing
Transactions that the Source Board concludes that it is required to consider in
order to fulfill its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Source.

"Competing Transaction" means any of the following involving Source or any
of its Subsidiaries: (i) any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business
combination, or other similar transaction; (ii) any sale, lease, exchange,
mortgage, pledge, transfer, or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of
Source and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in a single transaction or series
of transactions; (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer for 10% or more of
Source Common Stock or the filing of a registration statement under the
Securities Act in connection therewith; or (iv) any person having acquired
beneficial ownership or the right to acquire beneficial ownership of, or any
"group" (as such term is defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
applicable rules) having been formed that beneficially owns or has the right to
acquire beneficial ownership of, 10% or more of Source Common Stock.

CERTAIN BENEFITS MATTERS

Except as specifically described in the Merger Agreement (including
schedules thereto) or as mutually determined by Source and Romac, the employee
benefit plans covering present and former employees or directors of Source and
its subsidiaries, or their beneficiaries, or providing benefits to such persons
in respect of services provided to any such entity, including employee benefit
plans within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), deferred compensation bonuses, stock
options, restricted stock plans, incentive compensation, severance or change in
control agreements and any other material benefit arrangements or payroll
practices (collectively, "Benefit Plans") in effect as of February 2, 1998 will
remain in effect, subject to their terms, after the Effective Time with respect
to the classes of employees covered by such plans immediately before the
Effective Time. Source Benefit Plans involving the issuance of options, stock
appreciation rights or restricted stock will be assumed by Romac and converted
into options, stock appreciation rights or restricted stock of Romac, based on
the Exchange Ratio. See "Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger" on page 45.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

Romac will become obligated under Source's current provisions regarding
indemnification of officers and directors contained in its charter and bylaws
(and in those of its subsidiaries) and any director, officer or employee
indemnification agreement with it or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, for
six years after the Effective Time, Romac will maintain in effect the current
Source policies (or policies of at least equal coverages and amounts) of
directors' and officers' liability insurance with respect to claims arising from
facts or events that occur on or before the Effective Time; Romac is not,
however, required to expend more than 125% of the current Source annual premium
for such insurance.

TERMINATION

Until the Effective Time, the Merger Agreement may be terminated by Source
and Romac by mutual consent, or by either Source or Romac if (a) the Merger has
not been consummated on or before June 30, 1998, subject to extension to July
31, 1998 in certain events (the "Termination Date"), (b) there shall be any
statute, law, ordinance, rule, or regulation that makes consummation of the
Merger illegal or otherwise prohibited or if an appropriate court or
governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission has issued an
order, decree, or ruling that has become final and nonappealable, or taken any
other action permanently to restrain, enjoin, or otherwise prohibit the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agree-

49
<PAGE> 58

ment, (c) the other party has breached or failed to comply in any material
respect with any of its obligations under the Merger Agreement or any
representation or warranty made by the other in the Merger Agreement is
incorrect in any material respect, and such breaches, failures, or
misrepresentations are not cured within 30 days of notice, and (d) the required
approvals of the shareholders of either have not been obtained. The Merger
Agreement may also be terminated by Romac if (i) the Source Board resolves to or
does withdraw or adversely modify its approval or recommendation of the Merger
Agreement or the Merger, fails to reaffirm such approval or recommendation upon
request, or approves or recommends any Competing Transaction, or a tender offer
or exchange offer for 30% or more of the outstanding Source Common Stock is
commenced and the Source Board within ten days thereafter fails to recommend
against acceptance or takes no action with respect to such offer, or (ii) the
weighted average market price of the Romac Common Stock during the 15 trading
days ending three days before the Effective Time is less than $20 per share. The
Merger Agreement may be terminated by Source upon three days' prior notice to
Romac if the Source Board determines in good faith with the advice of counsel
that its fiduciary obligations require that it enter into a Competing
Transaction (provided that it has and has caused its financial and legal
advisors to negotiate with Romac to make such adjustments in the terms and
conditions of the Merger Agreement as would enable it to proceed with the
Merger, and provided that it has paid to Romac the termination fee described
below).

TERMINATION FEES

The Merger Agreement obligates Source to pay to Romac $12 million in cash
(a "Termination Fee") if Romac terminates the Merger Agreement because (i)
Source's board withdraws, modifies, or changes its recommendation in favor of
the Merger Agreement or the Merger, (ii) the Merger is not completed by June 30,
1998 (or under certain circumstances July 31, 1998) and a Competing Transaction
having a value per share of Source Common Stock exceeding that in the Merger
Agreement, is consummated within nine months of termination of the Merger
Agreement, (iii) a tender offer or exchange offer for 30% of the outstanding
Source Common Stock is commenced and the Source Board, within ten business days,
fails to recommend against acceptance of the tender offer or takes no position
and a Competing Transaction is consummated within nine months of termination of
the Merger Agreement, (iv) Source terminates the Merger Agreement to enter into
a Competing Transaction, (v) the Source stockholders fail to approve the Merger
and a competing Transaction is publicly proposed before termination of the
Merger Agreement and the competing Transaction is consummated within nine months
of such termination, or (vi) Source has breached or failed to comply in any
material respect with any of its obligations or representations and warranties
under the Merger Agreement and Source consummates a Competing Transaction within
nine months of termination of the Merger Agreement. However, if such breaches,
failures, or misrepresentations can be cured through reasonable efforts by
Source, and Source is exercising such efforts, Romac cannot terminate the Merger
Agreement for 30 days after written notice of such breach.

In addition, the Merger Agreement also requires Romac or Source to pay to
the other an additional $1.5 million if its shareholders fail to approve the
Merger Agreement and as a result the Merger Agreement is terminated by the other
party.

EXPENSES

Each of Source and Romac will bear its own costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby,
except that the expenses incurred for printing and mailing of this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus will be shared equally.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The flexible employment service industry has experienced significant growth
in response to the changing work environment in the United States. Fundamental
changes in the employer-employee relationship continue to occur, with employers
developing increasingly stringent criteria for permanent employees, while moving
toward project-oriented flexible hiring. This trend has been advanced by
increasing automation that has resulted in shorter technological cycles and by
global competitive pressures. Many employers have responded to these challenges
by turning to flexible personnel to keep labor costs variable, to achieve
maximum flexibility, to outsource highly specialized skills, and to avoid the
negative effects of layoffs.

Rapidly changing regulations concerning employee benefits, health
insurance, retirement plans, and the highly competitive business climate have
also prompted many employers to take advantage of the flexibility offered
through flexible staffing. Additionally, Internal Revenue Service and Department
of Labor regulations concerning the classification of employees and independent
contractors have significantly increased demand by prompting many independent
contractors to affiliate with employers like Romac.

51
<PAGE> 60

The temporary staffing industry has grown rapidly in recent years as
companies have utilized temporary employees to manage personnel costs, while
meeting specialized or fluctuating staffing requirements. According to the
Staffing Industry Report, the United States temporary staffing industry grew
from approximately $20.4 billion in revenue in 1991 to approximately $47.1
billion in revenue in 1996, a compound annual growth rate of 18.2%. One of the
fastest growing sectors for Romac, as well as the industry, is information
technology services. Revenue for this sector in 1996 is estimated to have been
$11.7 billion, a 27.2% increase over 1995. Romac believes that professional and
technical staffing within the temporary staffing industry requires longer-term,
more highly-skilled personnel services and offers the opportunity for higher
profitability than the clerical and light industrial staffing segments, because
of the value-added nature of professional and technical personnel. The National
Association of Temporary and Staffing Services has estimated that more than 90%
of all U.S. businesses utilize temporary staffing services.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

Romac's objective is to be a nationally recognized leader in providing its
professional specialty staffing services. The key elements of Romac's business
strategy in seeking to achieve this objective include:

- Implement the KnowledgeForce Strategy. As the staffing industry
continues to evolve, its impact on organizations and their ability to
attract and secure intellectual capital has been enormous. Romac believes,
and government statistics support, that the demand for and the supply of
intellectual capital is moving away from a permanent employment status
towards an increasingly fluid and flexible employment relationship through
flexible staffing. Romac believes that the intellectual capital of today,
and even more so in the future, will be concentrated in highly skilled
individuals who Romac collectively refers to as the "KnowledgeForce." In
response to its beliefs, Romac has implemented a strategy to become known
as the "KnowledgeForce Resource" in each market it serves.

- Focus on Value-Added Services. Romac focuses exclusively on providing
specialty staffing services to its clients. Romac believes that providing
these specialty services offer greater profitability than the clerical and
light industrial sectors of the temporary staffing industry. In addition,
Romac believes, based upon data published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics and other sources, that employment growth will be greater in
Romac's sectors than in the clerical and light industrial sectors. The
placement of highly skilled personnel requires a distinct operational
knowledge to effectively recruit and screen personnel, match them to
client needs, and develop and manage the resulting relationships. Romac
believes its historical focus in this market and name recognition,
combined with management's operating expertise, provide it with a
competitive benefit.

- Build Long-Term, Consultative Relationships. Romac has developed
long-term relationships with its clients by providing integrated solutions
to their specialty staffing requirements. Romac strives to differentiate
itself by working closely with its clients to maximize their return on
human assets. In addition, Romac's ability to offer a broad range of
flexible personnel services, coupled with its permanent placement
capability, offers the client a single-source provider of specialty
staffing services. This ability enables Romac to emphasize consultative
rather than transactional client relationships.

- Implement Carve-Out Strategy. Romac has begun implementation of its
"carve-out" marketing strategy, which encourages large contractors of
staffing services to "carve-out" the professional and technical sectors of
staffing contracts and award such business to specialty staffing services
providers instead of large generalist staffing firms. As a result of this
strategy, Romac has signed several contracts with major national
corporations for certain of Romac's services. Management believes there is
substantial opportunity for growth through the continued implementation of
this strategy.

- Achieve Extensive Client Penetration. Romac's client development process
focuses on repeated contacts with client employees responsible for
staffing decisions. Contacts are made within numerous functional
departments and at many different organizational levels within the client.
Romac's operating employees are trained to develop a thorough
understanding of each client's total staffing requirements. In addition,
although Romac is organized functionally, its operating employees are
trained and incentivized to recognize cross-selling opportunities for all
of Romac's other services.

52
<PAGE> 61

- Apply Innovative Technology. Romac utilizes proprietary technologies and
processes in the staffing, marketing, and management of its operations.
Romac's Professional Recruiters Operating System ("PROS") provides
operating employees with a systematic approach to identifying, monitoring,
and serving the needs of Romac's customers (clients and personnel). Once
operating employees obtain information regarding a customer, the data is
entered into Romac's integrated operating system and is coded for future
action. Operating employees are then prompted by means of an automated
planner to contact the customer periodically to monitor and serve the
needs that have been identified. Romac believes that its emphasis on the
use of technology has resulted in the delivery of higher quality service,
greater operating efficiency, and increased operating employee
productivity. See "-- Professional Recruiters Operating System" on page
58.

- Recruit High-Quality Professionals. Romac places great emphasis on
recruiting qualified personnel. Romac believes it has a recruiting
advantage over its competitors that lack the ability to offer personnel
flexible and permanent opportunities. Personnel seeking permanent
employment frequently accept flexible assignments through Romac until a
permanent position becomes available. Personnel are screened by an
operating employee with a compatible technical background to determine
qualifications and match them with client needs.

- Encourage Operating Employee Achievement. Romac's management promotes a
quality-focused, results-oriented culture. Operating employees are
selected based on their willingness to assume responsibility and promote
Romac's philosophy. All operating employees are given numerous incentives
to encourage the achievement of corporate goals. Romac fosters a
team-oriented and high energy environment, celebrates the successes of its
operating employees, and attempts to create a "spirited" work environment.

GROWTH STRATEGY

Romac's growth strategy is to expand its services in existing markets where
it does not offer its full range of services, and to enter new markets. The key
elements of Romac's growth strategy are as follows:

- Introduce Functional Service Offerings to Existing Markets. Romac
currently offers four areas of functional services and only one of Romac's
19 markets offers the full range of services. As a result, Romac believes
that a substantial opportunity exists to increase the number of service
offerings within its existing markets. Romac intends to offer its recently
expanded full range of functional services into each of its existing
locations.

- Open New Locations. Romac continually evaluates potential geographic
expansion into new metropolitan areas. To facilitate new market entry,
Romac plans to transfer or recruit experienced operating employees for
positions in new locations as they are opened. Romac also seeks to
leverage its national accounts to facilitate its entry into new markets.
Since February 1995, Romac has opened offices in Dallas, Houston,
Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C., Stamford, and St.
Louis.

- Leverage Existing Client Relationships and Develop New Clients. Romac
continually identifies additional growth opportunities within existing and
new clients as a result of the interrelationships among its service
offerings. Romac has established goals for cross-selling and has trained
and incentivized its operating employees to actively sell Romac's full
range of services, in an effort to maximize its reach into the
marketplace.

- Acquire Strategic Businesses. Romac intends to continue to pursue the
acquisition of complementary specialty staffing businesses. Romac's
preference is to acquire businesses in markets in which Romac currently
has a location or formerly maintained a franchised or licensed location,
although other markets will also be explored, including markets outside
the United States. Romac's primary acquisition candidates are local or
regional specialty staffing firms with established client relationships in
markets targeted by Romac. On the date of this proxy statement/prospectus,
has no understanding or agreement with any potential acquisition
candidate, except the Merger Agreement with Source.

53
<PAGE> 62

- Expand Major and National Accounts Program. Romac will continue to
market its full range of services to existing and new clients in order to
position Romac as the preferred vendor for specialty staffing services.
Romac believes the major accounts program enables it to further penetrate
its clients by giving Romac greater access to key staffing decision makers
including the support of the client's purchasing and procurement team.
This increased access allows Romac to achieve greater operating leverage
through improved efficiencies in the marketing process. Romac has
successfully obtained several national agreements for technical and
professional specialty staffing services. Romac intends to aggressively
pursue such agreements to facilitate geographic expansion and existing
market penetration.

- Introduce New Services. Romac continually evaluates the introduction of
new services in an effort to meet customer demands. Romac has introduced
flexible staffing of pharmaceutical, health care, and manufacturing
services personnel to complement its existing search capabilities in these
areas. Additionally, Romac acquired an entity that provides outplacement
services and human resource contract and outsourcing services. To enhance
the technical capabilities and perceived quality of Romac's Information
Technology Services, Romac has formed ETD, through which selected
personnel receive extensive training in emerging information technologies
and are assigned to client environments for periods generally ranging from
six months to two years.

FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION

In March 1997, Romac changed the manner in which it classifies its service
offerings in order to better serve the specialty needs of its customers.
Currently, in order to align itself more closely with the organizational
structure of its clients and the skills of its personnel on assignment, and
available for assignment, Romac organizes its service offerings by function.

The functional areas are defined as:

- Information Technology. Computer and Data Processing Services heads the
Bureau of Labor Statistics' list of the fastest growing industries. The
shortage of technical expertise to operate the advanced systems that
businesses have acquired over the last decade is a major catalyst
contributing to the growth of this segment. Romac's Information Technology
Services focuses on more sophisticated areas of the information
technologies (i.e., systems/applications programmers, systems analysts,
and networking technicians), where the shortage of personnel is the most
acute.

The combination of a growing number of available software applications, the
increased complexity of such software applications, and the short supply of
qualified software expertise contributed to Romac's decision to create ETD in
mid-1995. ETD retrains skilled information technology professionals in cutting
edge technology solutions and then offers the services of those highly trained
individuals to Romac's clients. Romac believes the sophistication of these
technologies, coupled with the significant unmet demand, provide an attractive
opportunity for Romac to generate new, higher margin business, and to add value
to its clients.

- Finance & Accounting. In its markets, Romac believes it has built a
strong reputation for providing qualified finance and accounting
professionals to businesses. Romac believes this reputation facilitates
Romac's recruiting and placement efforts. Romac's Finance & Accounting
personnel are experienced in areas such as corporate taxation, budget
preparation and analysis, financial reporting, cost analysis, and audit
services. Romac recently introduced its Executive Solutions service line,
which provides chief financial officers, controllers, and other
higher-level financial professionals on a contract basis for assignment
lengths generally ranging from three to six months.

- Human Resources. The non-core functions of a business, such as human
resources, are the most likely to be outsourced. With increasing
employment regulations, the administrative burden on employers is becoming
more complex and more time-consuming than ever before. Romac offers
flexible and permanent staffing of human resource professionals in the
areas of recruiting, benefits administration, training and generalists. In
addition, Romac provides outplacement, outsourcing, and consulting
services in this field.

54
<PAGE> 63

- Operating Specialties. This segment consists of revenues generated by
the placement of professionals skilled in the pharmaceutical,
manufacturing, health care, life insurance, and investment industries.
Examples of the positions that would be classified in these categories
are: research and regulatory personnel for pharmaceutical clients, quality
engineers and assurance personnel for manufacturing companies, hospital
administration and management personnel for health care companies, and
management personnel for life insurance companies.

Once the functional challenges of the client have been identified, Romac
can then consult with the client to determine its staffing and time duration
requirements. Romac offers its staffing services in one of two categories:
Flexible Staffing Services or Search Services.

Flexible Staffing Services

Flexible Staffing Services are offered by Romac to provide personnel in the
fields of information technology, finance and accounting, human resources and
operating specialties. Romac currently offers flexible staffing services in
eighteen metropolitan markets. The two primary service offerings within Flexible
Staffing are distinguished below:

Professional Temporary Services. Professional Temporary Services are
offered by Romac to provide professional temporary personnel in the fields
of finance and accounting.

Professional Temporary Services offers its clients a reliable and
cost-effective means of handling uneven or peak workloads caused by events such
as periodic financial reporting deadlines, tax deadlines, special projects,
systems conversions, and unplanned staffing fluctuations. Professional Temporary
Services meets such clients' needs with personnel who have an extensive range of
accounting and financial experience, including corporate taxation, budget
preparation and analysis, financial reporting, regulatory filings, payroll
preparation, cost analysis, and audit services. Through the use of Romac's
services, clients are able to avoid the cost and inconvenience of hiring and
terminating permanent employees. Typically, the duration of assignments in the
Professional Temporary Services is six to twelve weeks.

Personnel for Professional Temporary Services are obtained from Search
Services, referrals, and advertising in local newspapers and on Romac's home
page on the Internet. Romac believes it has a competitive advantage in
attracting personnel because of its ability to provide assignments ranging from
short term to permanent. Access by the Professional Temporary Services to the
Search Services' personnel pool provides personnel the opportunity to obtain
permanent employment as a result of a flexible assignment, earnings that may
allow personnel to be more selective when evaluating permanent opportunities,
and additional experience that can enhance personnel skills and overall
marketability. Personnel are screened by an operating employee with a compatible
background to determine his qualifications and to match these qualifications
with individual client needs. This screening includes an in-depth interview,
skill testing, reference checks, and, in some cases, credit checks and
additional background checks.

Professional Temporary Services targets Fortune 1000 companies and other
large organizations, with a primary focus on organizations determined to have
the potential need for Romac's full range of services. In order to maximize its
marketing effectiveness, Romac provides extensive training to its operating
employees, which emphasizes the consulting nature of its business. Romac's
operating employees develop marketing plans composed of multiple visits,
frequent telemarketing activity, monthly mailings, and other actions supported
through the use of the PROS and daily staff meetings. Romac believes that these
techniques and processes provide the opportunity to expand its business within
its clients' organizations, solidify client relationships, and develop new
clients. Romac recognizes that in some cases Professional Temporary Services
personnel will be offered permanent positions. If a client requests that
personnel become permanent employees, Romac typically charges a "conversion" fee
that is calculated as a percentage of the initial annual compensation.

Contract Services. Contract Services provides personnel on a contractual
basis, which typically averages six to nine months in duration. Contract
Services has traditionally focused on providing information systems personnel to
assist clients whose needs range from mainframe environments to single work
stations. Contract Services personnel perform a wide range of services,
including software development, database design and

55
<PAGE> 64

management, system administration, end-user training and acceptance, network
design and integration, information strategy development, business and systems
plans, and standardization of technology and business procedures. The size and
growth of the information services industry in recent years have been driven
largely by rapid technological advances. These advances have included the
availability of increased computing power at lower costs and the emergence of
new information systems capabilities. As a result, the ability of businesses to
benefit from the application of computer technology has been greatly enhanced
and has been accompanied by a dramatic increase in the number of end users. At
the same time, the sophistication and complexity of the systems needed to serve
these businesses and to deliver the desired benefits have greatly increased.
Additionally, the need to contain costs has caused many businesses to reduce the
number of personnel resulting in increased dependence upon information systems
to support important functions and to improve productivity.

Romac's base of skilled technical personnel is integral to its success.
Because technical needs are diverse and technology advances occur frequently,
technical talent is in high demand. As a result, Contract Services focuses
heavily on its recruiting efforts. In addition, Romac focuses on training its
Contract Services personnel in sophisticated technology applications. For
example, Romac has formed ETD, which selects personnel to receive extensive
training in information technologies and who are assigned to client environments
for periods generally ranging from six months to two years. Romac believes that
building a base of skilled technical personnel who are available for assignment
is as integral to its success as are its client relationships.

The March 1996 acquisition of Strategic Outsourcing, Inc., which was
renamed Romac-HR, expanded Romac's Contract Services functions to include human
resource personnel. Romac-HR, which was founded in 1989 in Boston, provides its
clients with human resource personnel on a contractual basis to assist in the
development, implementation, and maintenance of a wide variety of human resource
processes. Romac currently provides the human resource contract services
function in the Boston, Philadelphia, Tampa, Washington D.C., and Chicago
markets. Romac plans to continue to introduce the human resource contract
services function into its existing markets.

Romac has expanded its Contract Services functions to include manufacturing
services, health care, and pharmaceutical personnel. Within manufacturing
services, Romac provides a wide range of quality engineers and quality assurance
personnel. Health care contract services provides hospital administration and
management personnel. Pharmaceutical contract services provides pharmaceutical
industry clients with research and regulatory personnel. Currently, Romac
services these other functional areas on a national basis solely out of its
Tampa office.

Romac's operating employees develop and maintain an active personnel
inventory designed to meet the needs of Romac's clients. To recruit qualified
personnel, Romac uses targeted telephone recruiting, obtains referrals from its
existing personnel and clients, and places newspaper advertisements. The Search
Services' recruiting efforts complement those of Contract Services, and Romac
believes that this combination distinguishes it from its competitors. To foster
loyalty and commitment from its existing personnel, Romac maintains frequent
contact and offers competitive wages, flexible schedules, and exposure to a
variety of working environments.

Contract Services concentrates on marketing its services to Fortune 1000
companies and other businesses with information systems, manufacturing services,
human resources, health care, and pharmaceutical personnel requirements.
Operating employees emphasize Romac's ability to provide contract personnel who
can perform a wide range of services within each of these areas through
consultative contacts with client end-users, personal visits, mailings, and
telemarketing efforts.

Search Services

Romac provides extensive search services for professional and technical
personnel. The professional skills offered by the Search Services are in the
areas of information technology, finance and accounting, financial services,
pharmaceutical research, health care, human resources, insurance, and
manufacturing.

56
<PAGE> 65

Romac performs both contingency and retained searches. A contingency search
results in payment to Romac only when personnel are actually hired by a client.
Romac's strategy is to perform contingency searches only for skills Romac
targets as its "core-businesses." Client searches that are outside a
core-business area typically are at a management or executive level and require
a targeted research and recruiting effort. Romac typically performs these
searches as retained searches where the client pays a part of the search fee in
advance and the remainder upon completion of the search. Romac's fee is
typically structured as a percentage of the placed individual's first-year
annual compensation.

An active database of personnel is maintained as the result of its
continuous recruiting efforts and reputation in the industry. In addition,
operating employees locate many potential personnel as the result of referrals
from the Flexible Staffing Services activities.

Romac believes that it has developed a reputation for quality search work.
To minimize the risk of changes in skill demand, Romac's marketing plan
incorporates a continual review of client recruitment plans for future periods
to allow for rapid changes to "in-demand" skills. The quality of the
relationship with client personnel is a key component of the strategy, and Romac
seeks to use consultative relationships to obtain insight into emerging growth
areas. The clients targeted by the Search Services are typically the same as
those targeted by the Flexible Staffing Services. This common focus is intended
to contribute to Romac's objective of providing integrated solutions to its
clients' personnel needs.

Romac's search business is highly specialized. Certain skills, such as
finance and accounting, information technology and human resources, may be
served by local offices, while other, more highly specialized operating
specialties require a regional or national focus. Romac believes that a trend
toward greater selectivity in its clients' hiring processes has contributed to
an increased demand for its Search Services. This emphasis on quality fits well
with Romac's inventory of personnel. Romac expects that the Search Services will
continue to add operating specialties in the majority of markets served.

MARKETS

Romac serves 19 metropolitan markets with management of the operations
coordinated from its headquarters in Tampa. Romac's headquarters provides its
offices with administrative, marketing, accounting, training, legal, and
information systems support, particularly as it relates to the standardization
of the operating processes of its offices.

PROFESSIONAL RECRUITERS OPERATING SYSTEM

Romac has developed a proprietary integrated system designed to maximize
productivity and to aid in the management of its business. PROS is designed to
be a comprehensive approach to the operation and management of a specialty
staffing firm. It comprises sophisticated and proprietary operating and computer
systems initially developed in 1982 and has been continually enhanced. The
system links each office location through the use of a private network to
Romac's corporate headquarters.

PROS offers several advantages in providing information to support the
goals of Romac. Through the use of PROS, market information concerning target
customers is tracked and prioritized to focus marketing and development efforts.
Readily available management reports indicate the frequency and nature of
contact with the targeted customers to support marketing plans. By using these
reports, managers provide direction and support to operating employees to ensure
that customers are properly served. A manager, concerned with the status of a
particular assignment at any point, can examine the detailed status and degree
of coverage on each assignment. PROS offers both detailed and summary reports to
provide a continuous view of key factors related to customer development and
service and operating employee and personnel productivity.

In addition to customer service considerations, PROS enhances the
productivity and efficiency of the operating employees. One of the primary
problems facing operating employees is the effective and productive use of
information. PROS simplifies the information recording and retrieval problem and
enables operating employees in different functional and geographical areas to
share information and communicate more effectively.

Finally, PROS helps Romac manage information by passing data from the
operating divisions software to the accounting software. This approach increases
productivity, as data have a single point of entry and can be readily accessed
by all functional areas within Romac. Romac intends to continue to enhance its
systems capabilities to streamline processes in order to improve customer
servicing.

COMPETITION

The specialty staffing services industry is very competitive and
fragmented. There are relatively limited barriers to entry and new competitors
frequently enter the market. A number of Romac's competitors possess
substantially greater resources than Romac. Romac faces substantial competition
from large national firms and local specialty staffing firms. Large national
firms that offer specialty staffing services include Robert Half International,
Computer Horizon, Inc., and Alternative Resources Corporation. The local firms
are typically operator-owned, and each market generally has one or more
significant competitors. Romac also faces competition from national clerical and
light industrial staffing firms and national and regional accounting firms that
also offer certain specialty staffing services. These companies include Interim
Services, Inc., Norrell Corporation, AccuStaff Incorporated, and Olsten Corp.

Romac believes that the availability and quality of its personnel, the
level of service, the effective monitoring of job performance, scope of
geographic service and the price of service are the principal elements of
competition. Romac believes that availability of quality personnel is an
especially important facet of competition. In order to attract personnel, Romac
places emphasis upon its ability to provide permanent placement opportunities,
competitive compensation and benefits, quality and varied assignments, and
scheduling flexibility. Because personnel pursue other employment opportunities
on a regular basis, it is important that Romac respond to market conditions
affecting these individuals. Additionally, in certain markets Romac has
experienced significant pricing pressure from some of its competitors. Although
Romac believes it competes favorably with respect to these factors, it expects
competition to increase, and there is no assurance that Romac will remain
competitive.

PROPERTIES

Romac owns no real estate. It leases its corporate headquarters in Tampa,
Florida, as well as space for its other locations. The aggregate area of office
space under leases for locations is approximately 154,000 square feet. The
leases generally run from month-to-month to five years and the aggregate annual
rent paid by Romac in 1997 was approximately $2.1 million. Romac believes that
its facilities are adequate for its needs and does not expect difficulty
replacing such facilities or locating additional facilities, if needed.

INSURANCE

Romac maintains a fidelity bond and a number of insurance policies,
including general liability and automobile liability (each with excess liability
coverage), professional liability, worker's compensation, and employers'
liability.

Romac also maintains professional liability and crime policies, each with
aggregate coverage of $1.0 million, covering certain liabilities that may arise
from the actions or omissions of its operating employees and personnel. Romac
currently maintains key man life insurance on certain of its executive officers
in an aggregate amount of $7.5 million. Romac believes that its insurance
coverages will be adequate for its needs, although, there is no assurance that
any of these coverages will be sufficient. See "Risk Factors -- Employment
Liability Risk" on page 20.

OPERATING EMPLOYEES AND PERSONNEL

As of December 31, 1997, Romac and its subsidiaries employed approximately
600 operating employees. Additionally, as of that date, Romac had approximately
2,600 personnel on assignment providing flexible staffing services to its
clients. As the employer, Romac is responsible for the operating employees and
personnel payrolls and employer's share of social security taxes (FICA), federal
and state unemployment taxes, workers' compensation insurance, and other direct
labor costs relating to its operating employees and personnel. Romac offers
access to various insurance programs and other benefits for its operating
employees and personnel. Romac has no collective bargaining agreements covering
any of its operating employees or personnel, has never experienced any material
labor disruption, and is unaware of any current efforts or plans to organize its
operating employees or personnel. Romac considers relations with its operating
employees and personnel to be good.

<PAGE> 68

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of its business, Romac is from time to time
threatened with or named as a defendant in various lawsuits, including
discrimination and harassment and other similar claims. Romac maintains
insurance in such amounts and with such coverages and deductibles as management
believes are reasonable. The principal risks that Romac insures against are
workers' compensation, personal injury, bodily injury, property damage,
professional malpractice, errors and omissions, and fidelity losses. Romac is
not currently involved in any material litigation.

BUSINESS OF SOURCE

GENERAL

Source is a specialty staffing services firm that provides flexible
staffing and permanent placement of professional and skilled personnel primarily
in the ares of information technology, accounting and finance, and engineering.
It recently expanded its service offerings to include staffing of professional
and skilled personnel in the areas of health care and legal services. Source
believes that the ability to provide both flexible staffing and permanent
placement of professional and skilled personnel in a broad spectrum of fields
enables it to present integrated solutions to its clients' staffing needs.
Source also believes that the staffing of professional and skilled personnel in
specialty niches generally includes longer term assignments than typical
clerical temporary placement and offers Source the opportunity for greater
growth and higher profitability. Source has offices in 55 markets throughout the
United States and one in Canada.

Initially a larger provider of permanent placement services, Source shifted
its focus in 1991 to include flexible staffing services in its areas of
specialization. During fiscal year 1997, approximately 68% of Source's net
service revenue was derived from its flexible staffing services.

Source's flexible staffing business benefits greatly from Source's
experience in providing permanent placement services. Over its 36 years, Source
has developed expertise in recruiting and selecting professionals to satisfy
client requests. Also, Source currently maintains a database of over one million
potential professional or skilled candidates from which it can match its
clients' needs. In addition, virtually all of Source's sales associates have a
background in one of Source's areas of specialization, thereby promoting a
better understanding of the needs of Source's clients and providing Source an
advantage in its recruiting efforts.

SOURCE'S SPECIALTY STAFFING SERVICES

Overview. Source is a staffing services firm that specializes in providing
flexible staffing and permanent placement of professional and skilled personnel
primarily in the areas of information technology, accounting and finance,
engineering, health care, and legal services. It provides services in 55 markets
throughout the United States and one in Canada. Source's operations are more
heavily concentrated in large metropolitan areas. Source believes that providing
a broad range of specialty staffing services allows it to capitalize on its name
recognition and reputation initially developed as a provider of personnel to the
information technology industry.

Source seeks to develop an understanding of its clients' staffing needs
through its sales associates, virtually all of whom have a background in an area
in which Source specializes. For example, sales associates in Source's
information technology divisions have technical experience in various
computer-related fields, while most sales associates in Source's accounting and
finance divisions are certified public accountants. The specialized background
of Source's sales associates, coupled with Source's emphasis on developing and
maintaining long-term relationships with its clients, fosters the development of
a consultative relationship that enhances Source's ability to offer integrated
staffing solutions to meet the needs of its clients.

Because of its position as a provider of flexible staffing and permanent
placement staffing services in its primary areas of specialization, Source has
developed access to a large number of qualified candidates. Source maintains a
database of qualified candidates containing more than one million names. Source
seeks to assure the high quality of its candidates through personal screening
interviews with each candidate. These screening interviews are conducted by
sales associates having a background in the candidate's area of specialty,
thereby further enabling Source to offer to its clients candidates which best
meet the clients' staffing needs. Source's policy is to replace, without
additional charge, flexible staffing personnel who fail to perform to the
client's satisfaction and candidates placed in permanent positions whose
employment terminates within the guarantee period.

Flexible Staffing. Flexible staffing involves the placement of Source
employees and independent contractors on short and long-term assignments with
clients. Source believes that flexible staffing services offer its clients a
reliable and cost-effective way of obtaining professional and skilled personnel
for special projects

61
<PAGE> 70

or to balance uneven or peak workloads. Because of its reputation and expertise
in the segments of the staffing industry in which it specializes, Source has
access to a large number of qualified candidates to meet its clients' flexible
staffing needs. Source believes that many professional and skilled personnel are
attracted to flexible staffing positions because of their desire to maintain
flexible work schedules, obtain different and challenging work experiences, and
familiarize themselves with an employer before considering permanent employment.
Additionally, Source believes that its ability to offer both flexible staffing
and permanent placement options to candidates gives Source a competitive benefit
in attracting skilled and qualified flexible staffing placement candidates.

Typically, the period of assignment depends upon the duration of the need
for the skills possessed by an individual employee. During a typical week,
Source has more than 3,800 persons in flexible positions with clients. Source
charges hourly fees for personnel placed in flexible staffing assignments. For
the years ended December 29, 1996, and December 28, 1997, flexible staffing
accounted for approximately 62% and 68% respectively, of Source's net service
revenue. The ability of Source to locate and hire personnel with capabilities
required by customers is critical to its operations.

The following table sets forth the number of markets in which Source
offered flexible staffing services in its areas of specialization as of the
dates indicated:

Permanent Placement. During the years ended December 29, 1996 and December
28, 1997, permanent placements accounted for 38% and 32%, respectively, of
Source's net service revenue. Source currently offers permanent placement
services in 54 markets covering 29 states and one in Canada.

Permanent placement services include placement of candidates in permanent
positions with clients. Source believes that many businesses, in an effort to
manage their cost structure and focus on their core business, have generally
reduced the number of permanent, full-time employees as well as the size and
capability of their human resources functions. Accordingly, companies rely more
heavily on permanent placement providers for their hiring needs. Source also
believes that the increasing demand for specialized employee skills has enhanced
its clients' dependence on its ability to identify and understand more
effectively specialized and technical candidate skills. In addition, utilizing
permanent placement providers allows companies to access a broader range of
professional and skilled candidates. Source believes its 36-year history in
permanent placement services, its database containing information on over one
million qualified potential placement candidates, its national presence and its
practice of employing sales associates with backgrounds in the areas in which
they recruit enable it to provide permanent placement staffing solutions that
meet clients' needs. Source keeps the database current by contacting the
candidates through direct mail, phone contact, direct contact, e-mail and other
means to update candidate information. This database of candidates has been
compiled over 36 years through responses to direct mail, advertising, referrals,
technical seminars, job fairs, college fairs, and other media.

Source's permanent placement services typically result in payment to Source
when a candidate is hired by a client and the candidate is retained for the
duration of the guarantee period. Source's fee is usually structured as a
percentage of the placed candidate's first-year annual compensation.

AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION

Source specializes in providing flexible staffing and permanent placement
of professional and skilled personnel in the areas of information technology,
accounting and finance, engineering, health care, and legal services through
eight divisions. Source regularly reviews its areas of specialization to
determine whether new areas can be added to better serve its clients' needs.
Source will continue to focus on providing professional and skilled personnel.

Information Technology. Source provides persons skilled in
computer-related fields for flexible staffing and permanent positions. Staffing
of information technology personnel accounted for approximately 66% of Source's
net service revenue for the year ended December 29, 1996 and 64% for the year
ended December 28, 1997.

Source meets clients' information technology staffing needs through two
divisions. Source Consulting(TM) provides experienced professionals in all
information technology disciplines for flexible staffing assignments. Source
Edp(TM) provides information systems professionals on a contingency fee and
retainer basis for permanent employment.

Accounting and Finance. For fiscal years 1996 and 1997, staffing of
accounting and finance personnel accounted for approximately 27% and 29%,
respectively, of Source's net service revenue. Source meets clients' accounting
and finance staffing needs through two divisions. Accountant Source
Temps(TM)provides accounting and financial personnel for flexible staffing
assignments in 48 markets. Source Finance(TM) provides experienced accounting
and finance professionals on a contingency fee and retainer basis for permanent
employment in 48 markets.

Engineering. Source provides professional personnel in the fields of
engineering in 17 of Source's markets in 11 states. For fiscal years 1996 and
1997, staffing of engineering personnel accounted for approximately 5% and 4%,
respectively, of Source's net service revenue.

Source Engineering(TM) provides personnel highly skilled in a variety of
engineering disciplines for both flexible staffing and permanent placement.

Legal Services. Through its Source Legal(TM) division, Source recently has
started to provide legal services personnel for flexible staffing and permanent
placement in four markets.

Health Care. Source, through its Source HealthCare Staffing(TM) division,
provides licensed professionals to health care institutions primarily for
flexible staffing in six markets.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

Source currently operates offices in 55 markets throughout the United
States and one in Toronto, Canada. Source's operations are divided into three
geographic regions, each of which is under the management of a Vice President of
Operations who is responsible for the overall profitability of his region. Each
market served by Source in a region is managed by a Managing Director who
reports directly to the Vice

63
<PAGE> 72

President of Operations of that region and is responsible for sales of Source's
services in that market. Each of the service offerings in a market is supervised
by a Sales Manager for that service. Each of the service offerings in each
market is served by sales associates who report to a Sales Manager.

In order to provide further focus on its flexible staffing services, Source
has two national executive management positions for Source's areas of
specialization; National Director of Flexible Staffing Services for the
accounting and finance area and National Director of Flexible Staffing Services
for the information technology area. These directors work with operations
management in each market.

RECRUITING AND TRAINING

Recruiting candidates is critical to Source's business and growth strategy.
Source believes it has an advantage over its competitors in recruiting highly
qualified personnel for the following reasons:

- the background and experience of Source's sales associates in each of its
areas of specialization;

- Source's experience as a national provider of specialty staffing
services;

- Source's database of over one million candidates; and

- Source's ability to offer candidates both flexible staffing assignments
and permanent placement opportunities.

Source attracts more than half of its candidates through referrals and
repeat business. Additional candidates are identified through a comprehensive
Candidate Attraction Program which includes the use of a proprietary, on-line
database containing the names, qualifications, and other relevant information on
more than one million professional or highly skilled candidates; using
proprietary and purchased lists of prospects; the use of the Internet, including
a company home page; national advertising campaigns; attendance at trade shows
and career conferences; speaking engagements and professional association
memberships, local media advertising, and college campus promotional activities
and speaking engagements. Because of its national geographic presence, Source
has the ability to recruit highly qualified personnel in certain of its areas of
specialization.

Source relies heavily on the recruitment efforts of its sales associates.
The majority of Source's sales associates first contact Source as applicants for
Source's placement services. Therefore, most of Source's sales associates have
personally experienced and benefited from the ability of Source to place its
candidates in attractive flexible staffing or permanent placement positions.
This personal experience benefits the sales associates and Source in recruiting
qualified candidates and in understanding the staffing needs of Source's
clients.

Source's sales associates are trained by Source. Each newly-hired sales
associate attends a one week initial training program administered by the
corporate training department, which employs field personnel as trainers. When
sales associates return to their assigned office, they undergo an additional
nine weeks of training by local office management. This "Certification Program"
is unique for each service of Source and is formal in its execution, including
both qualitative and quantitative training events with formal sign-off by local
management. Additionally, regularly scheduled meetings in each branch office
include training events based on specific needs in that office. Audio visual
training aids are developed and disseminated by the corporate training
department to support field management with ongoing training.

Before a candidate is placed with a client in either a flexible staffing or
permanent position, a sales associate with a background in the candidate's area
of specialty conducts a personal interview with that candidate in order to
evaluate qualifications and level of skills. This screening process allows the
sales associate to match candidates who can satisfy the needs of individual
clients, as well as direct the prospective candidates toward opportunities that
are well suited to their career goals.

Source offers all its candidates the opportunity to develop or enhance
their skills as technological or other changes occur, through a variety of
training aids. In connection with an upgrade to its management information
systems, Source is installing training software licensed from a third-party
supplier. Candidates for

64
<PAGE> 73

Source's flexible staffing and permanent placement services also have the
opportunity to increase their technical and business skills through the use of
an on-line discussion database and chat line.

SALES AND MARKETING

Source markets to local accounts through its sales associates, thereby
permitting Source to capitalize on their expertise and relationships in local
markets. Marketing activities at the local level are conducted within guidelines
established by Source and are supervised through the Vice President of
Operations, Managing Directors and Sales Managers.

Source's national marketing strategy, which is largely based on attracting
clients who desire to work with a limited number of vendors for their staffing
needs, is developed and coordinated at the corporate level and is implemented
through regional and local management. This enables Source to develop a focused
national marketing strategy that is consistent throughout all of its markets.

Clients are solicited through personal sales presentations, presentations
at trade shows, telephone marketing, direct mail solicitation, company-sponsored
technical seminars and training, and referrals from clients and candidates. In
addition, as a result of its history of providing permanent placement services,
Source has developed and strives to maintain a network of persons who were
placed using Source's services, and are now in positions to affect hiring
decisions and rely on Source's services in filling their flexible staffing and
permanent placement needs. Source advertises in a variety of local and national
media, including the Yellow Pages, local and national newspapers and trade
publications. Source also operates a Web page on the Internet that provides both
clients and candidates with information about Source and its services as well as
employment opportunities. Each year, Source publishes salary surveys for
professionals in the information technology, accounting and finance, and
engineering industries because Source recognizes the need for candidates to have
timely information regarding hiring trends and skills currently in demand. In
addition, Source maintains information regarding the hiring status of employers
and the skills they require.

Source's marketing plan incorporates a continual review of its clients'
anticipated future staffing needs to enable Source to respond to changes in
"in-demand" skills. The quality of the relationship with client personnel is a
key component of this strategy, and Source seeks to develop long-term
consultative relationships with each of its clients to more fully understand and
anticipate their flexible staffing and permanent placement needs.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Source relies heavily on its management information systems in the conduct
of its business. Source principally uses a proprietary system called WIZARD,
which is an enhanced version of their previous system, SCORE. WIZARD is based on
the use of client-server technology, the inter-connection of all Source's
computer systems over a high-speed frame relay network, and the use of
third-party software to manage daily documentation and correspondence with
clients and to provide training for Source's candidates. Source believes that
WIZARD's system of coding skills and qualifications of Source's candidates
provides Source an advantage in matching such skills and qualifications with
clients' needs. For example, WIZARD enables Source to include within the coding
of the skills and qualifications of a candidate various subcandidates. The
subcandidates possess a group of skills and qualifications, including, for
example, a high level of skill in a particular computer program, will also
identify candidates possessing most of the required qualifications and having
skills in related or similar computer programs. This enables Source to respond
to specific client needs by searching for candidates possessing highly
specialized skills or a broad grouping of skills as the circumstances require.

COMPETITION

The specialty staffing services industry is very competitive and
fragmented. There are limited barriers to entry and new competitors frequently
enter the market. A number of Source's competitors possess substantially greater
resources than Source. Source faces substantial competition from local and
national specialty staffing firms. National specialty staffing firms that offer
staffing services in some or all of Source's

65
<PAGE> 74

areas of specialization include AccuStaff Incorporated, Alternative Resources
Corporation, CORESTAFF, Inc., Robert Half International, Inc. and Romac. In
addition, in each of Source's markets, one or more local firms compete with
Source.

Source believes that the availability and quality of candidates, the level
of service, the effective monitoring of job performance, and the price of
service are the principal elements of competition in the staffing industry.
Source believes that the availability of qualified candidates is especially
important. In order to attract qualified candidates, Source places emphasis upon
its ability to provide both flexible staffing and scheduling flexibility.
Additionally, in certain markets Source has experienced significant pricing
pressure from some of its competitors. Although Source believes it competes
favorably with respect to these factors, it expects competition to increase and
there is no assurance that Source will remain competitive.

INSURANCE

Source maintains a fidelity bond and a number of insurance policies
including general liability and automobile liability, (each with excess
liability coverage), professional liability and errors and omissions, and
worker's compensation and employers' liability. There is no assurance that any
of these coverages will be adequate for Source's needs. See "Risk
Factors -- Employment Liability Risk" on page 20.

TRADEMARKS

Source has registered the following trademarks: Accountant Source
Temps(TM), Source Engineering(TM), Source(TM), Source Consulting(TM), Source
Edp(TM), Source Finance(TM), Source Temps(TM), Source Legal(TM) and Source
Services(TM). Source also has registered the Source Edp(TM) logo. Source
vigorously defends its rights pursuant to these trademarks. Source believes that
the loss of one or more of such trademarks could have a material adverse effect
on its business.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 28, 1997, Source employed approximately 4,660 persons. Of
such persons, approximately 85 were engaged in corporate management and support
functions, approximately 1,122, including approximately 767 sales associates,
were involved in functions related to customer service, and the balance of 3,453
(of which approximately 230 were independent contractors) were available for or
were on assignment in temporary staffing positions. As the employer, Source is
responsible for the permanent and temporary payrolls and employer's share of
social security taxes (FICA), federal and state unemployment taxes, workers'
compensation insurance and other direct labor costs relating to its employees.
Source offers access to various insurance programs and benefits for its flexible
employees. Source has no collective bargaining agreements covering any of its
employees and has never experienced any material labor disruption. Source
considers its relations with its employees to be good.

DESCRIPTION OF ROMAC CAPITAL STOCK

GENERAL

Romac's authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common
Stock having a par value of $.01 per share and 15,000,000 shares of preferred
stock having a par value of $.01 per share. As of December 31, 1997, 29,185,796
shares of Romac Common Stock and no shares of preferred stock were issued and
outstanding.

COMMON STOCK

Each holder of Romac Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share
held. Shareholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes in elections of
directors. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding
Romac Common Stock will have the right to elect all Romac's directors and
otherwise control the affairs of Romac.

66
<PAGE> 75

Holders of Romac Common Stock are entitled to dividends on a pro rata basis
upon declaration of dividends by the Romac Board. Dividends are payable only out
of unreserved and unrestricted surplus that is legally available for the payment
of dividends. The Romac Board is not required to declare dividends, and it
currently expects to retain any funds generated from operations to finance the
development of Romac's business. The payment of dividends in the future will
depend upon earnings, capital needs, and other factors.

Upon a liquidation of Romac, holders of the Romac Common Stock will be
entitled to a pro rata distribution of the assets of Romac, after payment of all
amounts owed to Romac's creditors, and subject to any preferential amount
payable to holders of preferred stock of Romac, if any.

PREFERRED STOCK

The Romac Board is authorized (without any further action by the
shareholders) to issue Romac preferred stock in one or more series and to fix
voting rights, liquidation preferences, dividend rates, conversion rights,
redemption rights and terms, including sinking fund provisions, and certain
other rights and preferences of any series established by the Romac Board, and
to increase or decrease the number of shares within each such series. The Romac
Board may issue preferred stock for such consideration and on such terms as it
deems desirable. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding
preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of
dividends on Romac Common Stock. Also, holders of preferred stock would normally
be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of Romac before any payment is made to the holders of
Romac Common Stock. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of
preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage a merger, tender
offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block
of Romac's securities or the removal of incumbent management. The Romac Board,
without stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock with voting and
conversion rights which could adversely affect the holders of Romac Common
Stock. Romac has no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF ROMAC'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

Romac's articles of incorporation (the "Romac Articles") provide for a
classified board of directors. The directors are divided into three classes, as
nearly equal in number as possible. The directors are elected for three-year
terms, which are staggered so that the terms of one-third of the directors
expire each year. The Romac Articles permit removal of directors only for cause
by the shareholders of Romac at a meeting by the affirmative vote of at least
two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Romac Common Stock. The Romac Articles
establish an advance notice procedure for the nomination of candidates for
election as directors, as well as for other shareholder proposals to be
considered at shareholders' meetings.

The Romac Articles also contain a "fair price" provision, which is intended
to ensure that the consideration paid by an acquiror in certain transactions
involving Romac that follow a successful tender offer must be no less than the
highest consideration offered pursuant to the tender offer. Among other things,
such transactions must be approved by (i) the holders of at least 80% of the
outstanding Romac Common Stock, and (ii) the holders of a majority of the
outstanding Romac Common Stock other than the interested shareholder.

The above provisions may have certain anti-takeover effects. Such
provisions, in addition to the provisions described below and the possible
issuance of preferred stock discussed above, may make it more difficult for
other persons, without the approval of the Romac Board, to make a tender offer
or acquisitions of substantial amounts of the Romac Common Stock or to launch
other takeover attempts that a shareholder might consider in such shareholder's
best interests, including attempts that might result in the payment of a premium
over the market price for the Romac Common Stock held by such shareholder.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF FLORIDA LAW

Romac is subject to several anti-takeover provisions under Florida law that
apply to certain public corporations. The Florida Business Corporation Act (the
"FBCA") prohibits the voting of shares in a publicly-held Florida corporation
that are acquired in a "control share acquisition" unless the holders of a

67
<PAGE> 76

majority of the corporation's voting shares (exclusive of shares held by
officers of the corporation, inside directors, or the acquiring party) approve
the granting of voting rights as to the shares acquired in the control share
acquisition. A "control share acquisition" is defined as an acquisition that
immediately thereafter entitles the acquiring party to vote in the election of
directors within each of the following ranges of voting power: (i) one-fifth or
more but less than one-third of such voting power, (ii) one-third or more but
less than a majority of such voting power, and (iii) more than a majority of
such voting power.

The FBCA contains an "affiliated transaction" provision that prohibits a
publicly-held Florida corporation from engaging in a broad range of business
combinations or other extraordinary corporate transactions with an "interested
shareholder" unless (i) the transaction is approved by a majority of
disinterested directors before the person becomes an interested shareholder,
(ii) the interested shareholder has owned at least 80% of the corporation's
outstanding voting shares for at least five years, or (iii) the transaction is
approved by the holders of two-thirds of the corporation's voting shares other
than those owned by the interested shareholder. An interested shareholder is
defined as a person who together with affiliates and associates beneficially
owns more than 10% of the corporation's outstanding voting shares.

The FBCA also provides that directors may consider the long-term interests
of the corporation and its shareholders and certain societal factors when
determining what is in the best interest of the Company. Thus, the Romac Board
may consider these interests in connection with a decision to sell the Company.

DESCRIPTION OF SOURCE CAPITAL STOCK

Source has authorized capital stock consisting of 100,000,000 shares of
Source Common Stock, $0.02 par value, and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock,
$0.01 par value. As of December 28, 1997, there were outstanding 13,754,043
shares of Source Common Stock, and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. A
total of 1,030,000 shares of Source Common Stock are reserved for issuance upon
the exercise of options granted or which may be granted under the Employees
Stock Option Plan and the Directors Stock Option Plan.

COMMON STOCK

All outstanding shares of Source Common Stock are fully paid and
nonassessable. All holders of Source Common Stock have full voting rights and
are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted
to a vote of the stockholders. Votes may not be cumulated in the election of
directors. Stockholders have no preemptive or subscription rights. The Source
Common Stock is neither redeemable nor convertible, and there are no sinking
fund provisions. Holders of Source Common Stock are entitled to dividends when,
as and if declared by the Source Board from funds legally available therefor and
are entitled, upon liquidation, to share ratably in all assets remaining after
payment of liabilities. See "Dividend Policy." The rights of holders of Source
Common Stock will be subject to any preferential rights of any Preferred Stock
which may be issued in the future.

The transfer agent and registrar for the Source Common Stock is ChaseMellon
Shareholder Services, L.L.C.

PREFERRED STOCK

The Source Board is authorized (without any further action by the
stockholders) to issue Source preferred stock in one or more series and to fix
voting rights, liquidation preferences, dividend rates, conversion rights,
redemption rights and terms, including sinking fund provisions, and certain
other rights and preferences of any series established by the Source Board, and
to increase or decrease the number of shares within each such series. The Source
Board may issue preferred stock for such consideration and on such terms as it
deems desirable. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding
preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of
dividends on Source Common Stock. Also, holders of preferred stock would
normally be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Source before any payment is made to
the holders of Source Common Stock. In addition, under certain circumstances,
the issuance of preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage
a merger, tender

68
<PAGE> 77

offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block
of Source's securities or the removal of incumbent management. The Source Board,
without stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock with voting and
conversion rights which could adversely affect the holders of Source Common
Stock. Source has no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Source Common Stock Purchase Rights. Pursuant to Source's Rights
Agreement, each share of Source Common stock outstanding includes one common
stock purchase right (a "Right") that is non-detachable and non-exercisable
until certain defined events occur, including certain tender offers or the
acquisition by a person or group of affiliated or associated persons of 20% of
Source's Common Stock. Upon the occurrence of certain defined events, the Right
entitles the holder to purchase Source Common Stock or stock of an acquiring
company at a 50% discount. The Rights expire on June 18, 2007, unless earlier
redeemed by Source at a price of $.01 per Right. The Source Board has amended
the Rights Agreement so that it will not apply to the Merger.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS

Anti-takeover Provisions. Source's Certificate of Incorporation (the
"Source Certificate") contains certain provisions, some of which are described
below, that in addition to the authorization of the preferred stock, may reduce
the likelihood of a change in management or voting control of Source without the
consent of the Source Board. These provisions could have the effect of delaying,
deterring or preventing tender offers or takeover attempts that some or a
majority of Source's stockholders might consider to be in the stockholder's best
interest, including offers or attempts that might result in a premium over the
market price for the Common Stock.

Staggered Board of Directors. The Source Certificate provides that,
commencing with the 1997 annual meeting of stockholders, the Source Board was
divided into three classes that are elected to staggered three year terms. The
staggered board provision could increase the likelihood that, in the event of a
takeover of Source, incumbent directors will retain their positions. In
addition, the staggered board provision will help ensure that the Source Board,
if confronted with an unsolicited proposal from a third party that has acquired
a block of the voting stock of Source, will have sufficient time to review the
proposal and appropriate alternatives and to seek the best available result for
all stockholders. The affirmative vote of holders of at least 80% of Source's
outstanding voting stock will be required to amend this provision.

Removal of Directors During Their Terms. Under the Source Certificate, a
director may be removed during his or her term of service only "for cause" and
only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote.
As defined "for cause" means: (i) commission of an act of fraud or embezzlement
against Source; (ii) conviction of a felony or a crime involving moral
turpitude; (iii) gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing the
directors duties to Source; or (iv) breach of fiduciary duty owed to Source. The
Bylaws also provide that vacant directorships may be filled only by the Source
Board.

Stockholder Action. Unless limited by the Source Certificate, the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") permits stockholder action without a
meeting, without prior notice and without a vote upon the written consent of the
holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes
that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which
all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. The Source
Certificate prohibits stockholder action without a meeting, except when there
are ten or fewer stockholders.

Fair Price Provision. The Source Certificate includes a "fair price"
provision that requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of
the outstanding voting stock of Source to approve a merger with, or disposition
of assets or the issuance of securities having a fair market value of $5 million
or more to, an interested stockholder (as defined below), a liquidation proposed
by an interested stockholder or the reclassification of Source's securities or a
similar transaction that increases the interested stockholder's proportionate
ownership in Source. An "interested stockholder" is anyone who owns or controls,
directly, indirectly or together with others, 10% or more of Source's voting
stock. However, a transaction with an interested stockholder will not require
stockholder approval if a majority of disinterested directors (as defined in the
Source Certificate) approves the transaction or if the transaction involves the
distribution to the

69
<PAGE> 78

stockholders of cash or other consideration that satisfies the "fair price"
criteria set forth in the Source Certificate, which generally require that all
stockholders receive equal treatment, an adequate price, and adequate
disclosure. The Merger complies with the "fair price" criteria.

Evaluation Factors. The Source Certificate permits the Source Board to
evaluate factors other than the price offered when considering a proposed
acquisition of Source. The Source Certificate permits the Source Board to
consider the social, legal and economic effects of the proposed acquisition upon
Source's employees, suppliers, customers and business and the communities in
which Source operates. The Source Board can also consider any other factors it
deems relevant, including not only the consideration offered in the proposed
transaction relative to the market price of the Source Common Stock but also the
value of Source in a freely negotiated transaction and in relation to the
estimate by the Source Board of the future value of Source as an independent
entity.

Limitations on Liability of Directors. The Source Certificate limits the
liability of directors to the extent allowed by the DGCL. Specifically,
directors will not be held liable to Source or its stockholders for an act or
omission in such capacity as a director, except for liability as a result of:
(i) a breach of the duty of loyalty to Source or its stockholders; (ii) actions
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law; (iii) payment of an improper dividend or improper
repurchase of Source's stock under Section 174 of the DGCL; or (iv) actions or
omissions pursuant to which the director will receive an improper personal
benefit.

The principal effect of the limitation of liability provision is that a
stockholder is unable to prosecute an action for monetary damages against a
director of Source unless the stockholder can demonstrate one of the specified
bases for liability. This provision, however, does not eliminate or limit
director liability arising in connection with causes of action brought under the
federal securities laws.

The Source Certificate does not eliminate the directors' duty of care. The
inclusion of this provision in the Source Certificate may, however, discourage
or deter stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors
for a breach of their fiduciary duties, even though such an action, if
successful, might otherwise have benefited Source and its stockholders. This
provision should not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as
injunction or rescission based upon a director's breach of the duty of care.

Indemnification. The Source Certificate and Bylaws provide that Source is
generally required to indemnify its directors and officers for all judgments,
fines, settlements, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with
pending or threatened legal proceedings because of the director's or officer's
position with Source or another entity that the director or officer serves at
Source's request, subject to certain conditions, and to advance funds to its
directors and officers to enable them to defend against such proceedings. To
receive indemnification, the director or officer must have been successful in
the legal proceeding or acted in good faith and in what was reasonably believed
to be a lawful manner and in Source's best interest. Once adopted, the
affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds or more of the outstanding voting
stock of Source will be required to amend this provision.

CERTAIN DIFFERENCES IN THE RIGHTS OF ROMAC SHAREHOLDERS
AND SOURCE STOCKHOLDERS

At the Effective Time, Source stockholders will become shareholders of
Romac, and their rights as shareholders will be determined by the Romac Articles
and Bylaws. In addition, Source is a Delaware corporation governed by the DGCL
and Romac is a Florida corporation governed by the FBCA. The following is a
summary of the material differences in the rights of shareholders of Source and
Romac. Except as set forth below, there are no material differences between the
rights of a Source Common Stockholder under the Source Certificate and Bylaws
and the DGCL, on the one hand, and the rights of a Romac shareholder under the
Romac Articles and Bylaws and the FBCA, on the other hand. This summary does not
purport to be a complete discussion of, and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to, the DGCL, FBCA, and the Romac Articles, the Source Certificate and
the Bylaws of each corporation. Copies of Romac's Articles, Source's

70
<PAGE> 79

Certificate and the Bylaws of each corporation are on file at the offices of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, Division of Corporation Finance, 450 Fifth
Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549.

AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK

Romac. Romac's Articles authorize the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares
of Romac's Common Stock and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01
per share (the "Romac Preferred Stock"). As of the Romac Record Date, there were
29,520,818 shares of Romac Common Stock outstanding and no shares of Romac
Preferred Stock outstanding. The Romac Board has the authority to issue Romac
Preferred Stock in one or more classes or series and to establish the
designation of each series and the variations in rights, preferences, and
limitations for each series, without any further vote or action by the
shareholders, unless such action is required by applicable rules or regulations
or by the terms of other outstanding series of Romac Preferred Stock.

Source. The Source Certificate authorizes the issuance of up to
100,000,000 shares of Source Common Stock, par value $.02 per share and
2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Source
Preferred Stock"). On the Source Record Date, there were 13,757,681 shares of
Source Common Stock outstanding and no shares of Source Preferred Stock
outstanding. The Source Board of Directors has the authority to issue Source
Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix the voting powers, full or
limited, or no voting powers and such other relative rights, powers and
preferences, including, without limitation, the dividend rate, conversion
rights, if any, redemption price and liquidation preference, without any further
vote or action by the stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable
rules or regulations or by the terms of other outstanding series of Source
Preferred Stock.

DIRECTORS; VACANCIES

Romac. Romac's Bylaws provide for a board of directors of not less than
one nor more than twelve directors, the exact number of members to be fixed from
time to time by a majority of the members of the Board then in office; the
current number is set at 10. Any vacancy occurring on the board of directors for
any person, including a vacancy resulting from a newly-created directorship, may
be filled by a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum, or
by shareholders in accordance with Florida law. If the directors first fill a
vacancy, the shareholders shall have no further right with respect to the
vacancy, and if the shareholders first fill the vacancy, the directors shall
have no further rights with respect to that vacancy.

Source. Source's Bylaws provide for a board of directors of not less than
one, the exact number of members to be fixed from time to time by a majority of
the members of the Source Board then in office; the current number of directors
is set at seven. Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from an
increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of
the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole
remaining director. If there are no directors in office, then a special meeting
of the stockholders for the election of directors may be called and held in the
manner provided for by the DGCL.

SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

Romac. The FBCA provides that special meetings of shareholders may be
called by a corporation's board of directors or any other person as may be
authorized by the corporation's articles or bylaws, or by the holders of not
less than ten percent (unless a higher percentage, not exceeding 50%, is called
for by the corporation's articles) of all votes entitled to be cast on any issue
at the proposed special meeting who sign, date, and deliver to the corporation's
secretary one or more written demands for the meeting, describing the purpose or
purposes for which it is to be held. Romac's Bylaws provide that special
meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Romac Board, the
Chairman of the Board, or the President or by the shareholders as provided for
under the FBCA.

Source. The DGCL provides that special meetings of stockholders may be
called only by the directors or any other person as may be authorized by the
corporation's certificate or bylaws. Source's Bylaws provide that special
meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time by the Chief Executive
Officer or the

71
<PAGE> 80

Source Board, and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief
Executive Officer, or the Secretary at the request in writing of a majority of
the Source Board.

ADVANCE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS FOR SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AND DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS

Romac. The Romac Bylaws provide that any shareholder nomination for
director or proposal for action at a shareholder meeting must be delivered to
Romac no later than the deadline for submitting shareholder proposals pursuant
to SEC Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The presiding officer at
any such meeting is not required to recognize any nomination or proposal that
does not comply with such deadline.

Source. The Source Bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring
business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for
election as directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, must
provide timely notice thereof in writing. To be timely, a stockholder's notice
must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices
of Source at a date not later than the date that corresponds to 120 days prior
to the date Source's proxy statement was released to stockholders in connection
with the previous year's annual meeting of stockholders. The Source Bylaws also
specify certain requirements for a stockholders' notice to be in proper written
form. These provisions may preclude some stockholders from bringing matters
before the stockholders at an annual or special meeting or from making
nominations for directors at an annual or special meeting.

ADJOURNMENT OF MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

Romac. The Romac Bylaws provide that when a shareholder meeting is
convened, and a quorum has not been established to transact business, the
holders of the majority of the shares represented and who would be entitled to
vote at the meeting if a quorum were present may adjourn such meeting from time
to time.

Source. The Source Bylaws provide that, in the absence of a quorum, the
holders of a majority of the shares of Source Common Stock present in person or
by proxy and entitled to vote may adjourn the meeting from time to time.

AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OR ARTICLES AND BYLAWS

Romac. Pursuant to the FBCA, amendments to a corporation's articles of
incorporation relating to (i) the extension of the duration of the corporation,
(ii) the deletion of the names and addresses of the initial directors and the
initial registered agent, (iii) the deletion of information solely of historical
interest, (iv) certain changes in the corporation's name and (vii) any other
change permitted by the FBCA without shareholder approval, may be made by the
board of directors without shareholder approval, unless the corporation's
articles of incorporation provide otherwise. All other amendments to the
articles of incorporation must be recommended by the board of directors to the
shareholders and approved by a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote on
the amendment, unless a greater percentage is provided for in the articles of
incorporation or in the resolution of the board of directors proposing such
amendment. In addition, the FBCA provides that the holders of the outstanding
shares of a class shall be entitled to vote as a single class if the holders of
such a class would be adversely or particularly affected by the amendment.
Romac's Articles require the vote of 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of
common stock to amend the provisions pertaining to the Romac Board, shareholder
meetings, and certain business combinations.

Under the FBCA and Romac's Articles and Bylaws, the Romac Board or the
shareholders may amend or repeal Romac's Bylaws unless the FBCA specifically
reserves the power to amend the Bylaws to the shareholders, or unless the
shareholders, in amending or repealing the Bylaws, provide expressly that the
Romac Board may not amend or repeal the Bylaws or that Bylaw provision. The FBCA
permits a corporation's shareholders to amend or repeal the corporation's bylaws
even though the bylaws may also be amended or repealed by its board of
directors.

Source. Under the DGCL, unless a corporation's certificate of
incorporation or bylaws otherwise provide, the amendment of a corporation's
certificate of incorporation generally requires the approval of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon, and if such
amendment would increase

72
<PAGE> 81

or decrease the number of authorized shares of any class or series or the par
value of such shares or would adversely affect the shares of such class or
series, the amendment requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding stock of such class or series. The Source Certificate also requires
the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of Source Common
Stock to amend the sections of such Certificate pertaining to directors,
stockholder meetings and actions, preemptive rights, acquisition proposals, and
approval of certain business combinations, the vote required to amend Source's
Bylaws and the vote required to amend the section establishing such
supermajority vote.

Pursuant to the DGCL and the Source Certificate and Bylaws, Source's Bylaws
may be amended or repealed by the Source Board or upon the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding stock entitled to vote.

INDEMNIFICATION AND DIRECTOR EXCULPATION

Romac. Article 5 of Romac's Bylaws provide that Romac shall indemnify any
person who was or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending,
or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative, because he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of
Romac or serves or served any other corporation or other enterprise in any
capacity at the request of Romac, and Romac may advance his related expenses, to
the full extent permitted by the FBCA. In discharging his duty, any director,
officer, employee, or agent, when acting in good faith, may rely upon
information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements
and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by (1) one or more
officers or employees of Romac whom the director, officer, employee, or agent
reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented, (2)
counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters that the director,
officer, employee, or agent believes to be within that person's professional or
expert competence, or (3) in the case of a director, a committee of the board of
directors upon which he does not serve, duly designated according to law, as to
matters within its designated authority, if the director reasonably believes
that the committee is competent. Generally, the FBCA permits indemnification of
a director upon a determination that he or she acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
The FBCA also provides that a person may not be indemnified nor may expenses be
advanced if a judgment or final adjudication establishes that such person's
actions, or omissions to act, were material to the cause of action so
adjudicated and constitute: (i) a violation of criminal law, unless such person
had reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was lawful or had no
reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful; (ii) a
transaction from which the director, officer, employee or agent derived improper
personal benefit; (iii) an unlawful distribution under Florida law; or (iv)
willful misconduct or conscious disregard for the best interests of the
corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.
The right to indemnification granted in Romac's Bylaws is not exclusive of any
other rights to indemnification against liabilities or the advancement of
expenses which a director may be entitled under any written agreement, Romac
Board resolution, vote of shareholders, the FBCA or otherwise.

Romac's Bylaws also provide that Romac may, upon approval by a majority of
the Romac Board, purchase insurance on behalf of one or more of its directors.
Romac has purchased insurance to protect directors, officers, employees, or
other agents and Romac from any liability asserted against them for acts taken
or omissions occurring in their capacities as such.

According to the FBCA, a director is not personally liable for monetary
damages to Romac or any other person for any statement, vote, decision or
failure to act, regarding corporate management or policy, unless the director
breached or failed to perform his duties as a director and the director's breach
of, or failure to perform those duties constitutes: (i) a violation of criminal
law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful
or had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful; (ii) a transaction from
which the director derived improper personal benefit; (iii) a violation of
Section 607.0834 of the FBCA, which concerns unlawful payment of dividends; (iv)
in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or a shareholder,
conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation or willful
misconduct; or (v) in a proceeding by or

73
<PAGE> 82

in the right of someone other than the corporation or a shareholder,
recklessness or an act or omission that was committed in bad faith or with
malicious purpose or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of
human rights, safety, or property.

Source. The Source Bylaws provide that Source shall indemnify any person
who was or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of Source), by reason of the fact that
he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of Source, or is or was
serving at the request of Source as a director, officer, employee, or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Source and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful.

Under Section 145 of the DGCL as currently in effect, other than in actions
brought by or in the right of Source, such indemnification would apply if it is
determined (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not a party to such
action, suit, or proceeding, (ii) by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion or (iii) by the stockholders of Source, in the specific case that the
proposed indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner such indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Source and,
with respect to any criminal proceeding, if such indemnitee had no reasonable
cause to believe that such indemnitee's conduct was unlawful. In actions brought
by or in the right of Source, such indemnification would probably be limited to
reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees), and would apply if it were
determined in the specific case that the proposed indemnitee acted in good faith
and in a manner such indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of Source, except that no indemnification may be made with
respect to any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person is adjudged
liable to Source unless, and only to the extent that, the Court of Chancery or
the court in which that action was brought determines upon application that, in
view of all the circumstances of the case, the proposed indemnity is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. To
the extent that any director, officer, employee, or agent of Source has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding, he must be
indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection therewith.

The Source Certificate and Bylaws provide that the right of such directors
and officers to indemnification includes the right to advancement by Source of
expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition upon delivery to Source of an undertaking to repay any amount so
advanced if it is ultimately determined by final judicial decision that the
proposed indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.

The Source Certificate also limits or eliminates, to the fullest extent
that the DGCL permits, the personal liability of a director to Source or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
provided that the liability of a director may not be eliminated or limited (i)
for any injury resulting from the breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
Source or its stockholders, (ii) from injury resulting from acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, or (iii) violations under Section 174 of the DGCL (which concerns
unlawful payment of dividends or other distributions), or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

ACTIONS BY SHAREHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING

Romac. Under the FBCA and Romac's Bylaws, any action that is required or
permitted to be taken at an annual or special meeting of shareholders may be
taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent
or consents, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by the holders of
outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes with respect
to each voting group that would be necessary to authorize the action at a
meeting at which all shares entitled to vote were present.

Source. The DGCL generally provides that, unless otherwise provided in the
corporation's certificate of incorporation, any action that is required to be
taken or that may be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of a
corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a
vote, if a

74
<PAGE> 83

consent or consents, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by the
holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes
that would be necessary to authorize the action at a meeting at which all shares
entitled to vote were present and voted. The Source Certificate, however,
provides that any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or
special meeting of the stockholders may be taken only upon the vote of the
stockholders at an annual or special meeting duly noticed and called, as
provided in the Source Bylaws, and may not be taken by a written consent of the
stockholders pursuant to the DGCL.

PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS

Romac. Under the FBCA, a dividend may be paid, unless after giving it
effect, (i) the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become
due in the usual course of business or (ii) the corporation's total assets would
be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount needed to satisfy
the preferential rights of any preferred stockholders of the company.

Source. The DGCL provides that, subject to any restrictions in a
corporation's certificate of incorporation, dividends may be declared from a
corporation's surplus or, if there is no surplus, from its net profits for the
fiscal year in which the dividend is declared or the preceding fiscal year.
However, if the corporation's capital (generally defined in the DGCL as the sum
of the aggregate par value of all shares of the corporation's capital stock,
where all such shares have a par value and the board of directors has not
established a higher level of capital) has been diminished to an amount less
than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and
outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of
assets, dividends may not be declared and paid out of such net profits until the
deficiency in such capital has been repaired.

MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS, AND SALES OF ASSETS

Romac. The FBCA provides that a vote of a majority of the shares of each
class of stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon is required to authorize
a merger or consolidation of the corporation into any other corporation, unless
the articles of incorporation require a greater vote or a vote by classes. The
sale, lease, or exchange of all or substantially all of a corporation's property
and assets other than in the regular course of business is permitted under the
FBCA with the approval of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the
transaction, unless the articles of incorporation require a greater vote or a
vote by classes.

Source. The DGCL requires the approval of the Source Board and the holders
of a majority of the outstanding stock of Source entitled to vote thereon for
mergers or consolidations involving a Delaware corporation, and for sales,
leases, or exchanges of substantially all of a Delaware corporation's property
and assets. The DGCL permits a corporation to merge with another corporation
without obtaining the approval of its stockholders if: (i) such corporation is
the surviving corporation of the merger; (ii) the merger agreement does not
require an amendment to such corporation's certificate of incorporation; (iii)
each share of such corporation's capital stock outstanding immediately prior to
the effective date of the merger is to be an identical outstanding or treasury
share of such corporation after the merger; and (iv) any authorized but unissued
shares or treasury shares of common stock to be issued or delivered under the
plan of merger plus those initially issuable upon conversion of any other
securities or obligations to be issued or delivered under such plan do not
exceed 20% of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the
effective date of the merger.

DISSENTERS' RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL

Romac. The FBCA sets forth procedures under which shareholders may dissent
from, and receive payment of the fair value of their shares in connection with
most mergers, consolidations and exchanges or sales of substantially all or all
of a corporation's assets. Such dissenters' rights are not available with
respect to a plan of merger, consolidation or sale or exchange of assets, to
holders of shares of any class or series which was either registered on a
national securities exchange, designated as a national market system security on
an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders.

75
<PAGE> 84

Source. Pursuant to the DGCL, any stockholder has the right to dissent
from any merger or consolidation, except as described below, of which Source is
a constituent corporation. No such appraisal rights are available for the shares
of any class or series of Source capital stock if (i) as of the record date
fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at
the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or
consolidation, such shares were either listed on a national securities exchange,
designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation
system operated by a national securities association, or held of record by more
than 2,000 stockholders or (ii) Source is the surviving corporation of a merger
and the merger did not require the approval of Source's stockholders, unless, in
either case, the holders of such stock are required by an agreement of merger or
consolidation to accept for that stock something other than: (a) shares of stock
of the corporation surviving or resulting from the merger or consolidation; (b)
shares of stock of any other corporation that, at the effective date of the
merger, will be listed on a national securities exchange, designated as a
national market system security on a interdealer quotation system operated by a
national securities association, or held of record by more than 2,000
stockholders; (c) cash in lieu of fractional shares of a corporation described
in clause (a) or (b) above; or (d) any combination of the shares of stock and
cash in lieu of fractional shares described in clauses (a) through (c) above. As
the Source Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq and the exception described above
does not apply to the Merger, holders of Source Common Stock do not have
dissenters' rights with respect to the Merger.

CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITIONS

Romac. As a Florida corporation, Romac is subject to provisions of Section
607.0902 of the FBCA, which provides that shares acquired in a "control share
acquisition" shall have the same voting rights as were accorded such shares
before the control share acquisition only to the extent granted by resolution
approved by the holders of a majority of Romac's voting shares (exclusive of
shares held by officers of Romac, inside directors or the acquiring party). A
"control share acquisition" is defined to mean an acquisition that immediately
thereafter entitled the acquiring party to vote in the election of directors
within any of the following ranges of voting power: (i) one-fifth or more but
less than one-third of such voting power; (ii) one-third or more but less than a
majority of such voting power; and (iii) a majority or more of such voting
power.

Source. The DGCL does not have a similar statute.

CERTAIN BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Romac. Section 607.0901 of the FBCA prohibits an "affiliated transaction"
(defined generally to include mergers, sales and leases of assets, issuances of
securities and other similar transactions) by Romac or any subsidiary with an
"interested shareholder" (defined generally to be the beneficial owner of 10% or
more of Romac's voting stock) within three years after the person or entity
becomes an interested shareholder, unless: (i) the affiliated transaction shall
have been approved by the disinterested directors of Romac before the person
became an interested shareholder; (ii) the interested shareholder has owned at
least 80% of Romac's outstanding voting shares for at least five years or is the
owner of at least 90% of Romac's outstanding voting shares (excluding shares
acquired directly from Romac in a transaction not approved by the disinterested
directors); (iii) the consideration to be paid to Romac's shareholders satisfies
certain fair price and form requisites; or (iv) the affiliated transaction is
approved by the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock
of Romac, excluding shares held by the interested shareholder.

Source. Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a "business combination"
(defined generally to include mergers, sales and leases of assets, issuances of
securities and similar transactions) by Source or a subsidiary with an
"interested stockholder" (defined generally to be the beneficial owner of 15% or
more of Source's voting stock) within three years after the person or entity
becomes an interested stockholder, unless: (i) prior to the person or entity
becoming an interested stockholder, the business combination or the transaction
pursuant to which such person or entity became an interested stockholder shall
have been approved by the Source Board; (ii) upon the consummation of the
transaction in which the person or entity became an interested stockholder, the
interested stockholder holds at least 85% of the voting stock of Source
(excluding shares held by persons who are both officers and directors of Source
and shares held by certain employee

76
<PAGE> 85

benefit plans); or (iii) the business combination is approved by the Source
Board and by the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock
of Source, excluding shares held by the interested stockholder. The Merger is
not subject to the limitations set forth in Section 203 of the DGCL.

CONSIDERATION OF SOCIETAL FACTORS

Romac. Florida law expressly provides that in determining what a director
reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation, the director
may consider the long-term interests and prospects of the corporation and its
shareholders, and the social, economic, legal, or other effects of any action on
the employees, suppliers, customers of the corporation or its subsidiaries, the
communities and society in which the corporation or its subsidiaries operate,
and the economy of the state and the nation. Thus, these interests could be
considered even in connection with, or after, a decision to sell a corporation.
The Romac Articles and Bylaws do not discuss the consideration of societal
factors.

Source. The Source Bylaws permit the Source Board to consider societal
factors. Delaware does not, however, explicitly provide for the consideration of
societal factors by a corporation's board of directors in making decisions. The
Delaware Supreme Court has, however, held that, in discharging their
responsibilities to a corporation, directors may consider constituencies other
than stockholders, such as creditors, customers, employees, and perhaps even the
community in general, so long as there are rationally related benefits accruing
to stockholders as well. The Delaware Supreme Court has also held that concern
for non-stockholder interests is inappropriate when a sale of a company is
inevitable and an auction among active bidders is in progress.

Source may request by telephone or telegram the return of proxy cards. The
extent to which this will be necessary depends entirely upon how promptly proxy
cards are returned. Shareholders are urged to send in their proxies without
delay.

SOURCE STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT SEND IN ANY SOURCE STOCK CERTIFICATES WITH
THEIR PROXY CARDS. NEW ROMAC WILL MAIL A TRANSMITTAL FORM WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THE SURRENDER OF STOCK CERTIFICATES FOR SOURCE COMMON STOCK TO FORMER SOURCE

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The Romac Board's Compensation Committee currently consists of Messrs.
Tunstall, Carey and Mansfield. Messrs. Tunstall, Carey and Mansfield are outside
directors. There are no material transactions or relationships between the
Compensation Committee members, the Chief Executive Officer, and Romac.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of Romac's
previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 that might incorporate future filings, including this Proxy Statement,
in whole or in part, the following Board Compensation Committee Report on
Executive Compensation and the Performance Graph shall not be incorporated by
reference into any such filings.

BOARD COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") consists of the three outside
directors of Romac, Messrs. Mansfield, Tunstall and Carey. It is the Committee's
responsibility to review the Romac's executive compensation program and policies
each year and to determine the compensation of the Romac's executive officers.
The Chief Executive Officer submits his recommendations for compensation of the
other executive officers to the Committee for its approval.

Romac is committed to maximizing shareholder value through superior
financial performance and business growth. The Committee's fundamental policy is
to offer Romac's executive officers competitive compensation opportunities based
upon their personal performance, the financial performance of Romac, and their
contribution to that performance. It is the Committee's objective to align the
interests of the executive officers to those of the shareholders by making a
substantial part of their compensation contingent upon Romac's performance.
Messrs. Dunkel, Swartz, Sutter, Calcaterra, and Dominici have substantial equity
holdings in Romac and are therefore closely aligned with shareholder interests.
For the remaining term of the executive officers' employment agreements, the
primary objective of the Committee is to establish a base salary for each
executive officer which reflects individual performance and is competitive with
salary levels of similar sized companies.

Romac is a party to employment agreements with Messrs. Dunkel, Sutter, and
Dominici effective March 1, 1997. Each of these agreements is for a period of
three years and provides for an annual base salary and certain other benefits.
Romac entered into an employment with James D. Swartz effective February 23,
1996. This agreement is for a period of two years and provides for an annual
base salary and certain other benefits. The annual base salaries for fiscal 1998
for Mr. Dunkel, Mr. Sutter, Mr. Dominici, Mr. Swartz, and Mr. Calcaterra are
$280,000, $170,000, $126,000, $239,000, and $170,000, respectively. The
employment agreements provide that the executives are entitled to severance if
their employment is terminated by Romac "without cause" (as defined in the
employment agreements). In such case, the executive would receive his full
compensation for a period of two years. The employment agreements also provide
that upon a change in control of Romac each executive would be entitled to
receive an immediate lump sum payment equal to twice the executive's annual
salary, subject to certain limitations. In general, a change in control is
defined by the employment agreements to be any replacement of 50% or more of the
directors of Romac that follows and is directly or indirectly the result of
certain extraordinary corporate occurrences, such as a merger or other business
combination involving Romac, a tender offer for Romac's stock, a solicitation of
proxies other than by Romac's management or the Romac Board, or an acquisition
by a person or group of 25% or more of Romac's stock. Each agreement contains a
covenant not to compete, which continues for one year following any termination.

The Committee awarded the following stock option grants to executive
officers effective January 30, 1998 at an exercise price of $22.375, the fair
market value of Romac's Common Stock based on the last trade on the date of
award.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

Romac leases office space from a limited partnership in which Messrs.
Dunkel, Sutter, and Cocchiaro, officers and directors of Romac, are limited
partners. Payments under the lease are approximately $27,000 per month, expiring
in 2001. Total lease payments to the partnership were approximately $266,000,
$300,000, and $386,000 in 1995, 1996, and 1997, respectively. Romac believes the
lease payments are comparable to those that would be made to an unrelated third
party.

In 1995, Romac entered into split dollar and cross-purchase split dollar
life insurance agreements with Messrs. Dunkel, Sutter, Cocchiaro, and Maureen
Rorech, a shareholder and former director, and their estates whereby Romac pays
part of the life insurance premiums on behalf of the officers and their estates.
Romac has been granted a security interest in the cash value and death benefit
of each policy equal to the amount of the cumulative premium payments made by
Romac. The purpose of these agreements is to provide liquidity upon the death of
the officer or director to pay estate taxes and to provide surviving executive
officers/directors with the ability to purchase shares from a deceased executive
officer's/director's estate. The cross-purchase would reduce the possibility of
a large block of Romac's common stock being put on the open market to the
potential detriment of Romac's market price and would allow Romac to maintain a
concentration of voting power among its executive officers/directors. The total
premiums paid during 1995, 1996, and 1997 were approximately $381,000, $337,000,
and $337,500, respectively, and are included in Romac's financial statements as
related party receivable at December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997. Ms. Rorech
purchased her policy for its cash value in 1997; Romac will no longer pay
premiums on that policy.

(1) Total return assumes reinvestment of dividends.
(2) This index represents the cumulative total return of Romac and the Peer
Group corporations, each of which provides flexible or permanent employment
services. Many of Romac's competitors are privately-held, and only a few of
the selected corporations specializes, as does Romac, primarily in the
flexible and permanent placement of finance and accounting and information
technology personnel. However, the selected corporations constitute an
approximation of a peer group among public companies.
(3) Based on the initial public offering price of $3.125 per share, as adjusted
to reflect two-for-one stock splits in the form of 100% stock dividend to
shareholders of record on May 15, 1996 and October 9, 1997, which were
reflected on the Nasdaq National Market on May 23, 1996 and October 17,
1997, respectively.

The information presented in the line graph was obtained by Romac from
outside sources it considers to be reliable but has not been independently
verified by Romac. The Peer Group was selected from the universe of staffing
companies that were publicly traded at the time of Romac's initial public
offering and offer services similar to Romac.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Romac's executive officers and
directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of the common stock of
Romac, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.
Officers, directors, and ten percent shareholders are required by the SEC
regulations to furnish Romac with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received by it,
and written representations from certain reporting persons that no SEC Forms 3,
4, or 5 were required to be filed by those persons, Romac believes that during
1997, its officers, directors and ten percent beneficial owners timely complied
with all applicable filing requirements.

ROMAC PROPOSAL 2 -- ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Romac Board is divided into three classes of directors. Romac's
Articles of Incorporation provide that at each annual election, directors shall
be chosen by class for a term of three years, to preserve, as evenly as
practicable, the division of directors into classes. The current terms of the
three classes of directors expire in 1998 (Class I directors), 1999 (Class II
directors), and 2000 (Class III directors).

The Romac Board has nominated Richard M. Cocchiaro, James D. Swartz, and D.
Les Ward to stand for election at the Meeting for the Class I director seats and
John N. Allred and Wayne D. Emigh to stand for election at the meeting for a
Class II Director seat. James D. Swartz's current term will expire on the date
of the Meeting. Richard M. Cocchiaro resigned in connection with the Merger
Agreement to make available a Class II Director seat. Peter Dominici intends to
resign if the Merger is completed to make available an additional director seat.
The Board of Directors has nominated D. Les Ward to stand for election as a
Class I Director and John N. Allred and Wayne D. Emigh to stand for election as
Class II Directors in connection with the consummation of the Merger Agreement.
The election of Messrs. Ward, Allred, and Emigh will be subject to consummation
of the Merger. Mr. Ward's continued service on Romac's Board, if elected, is
subject to his being employed by Romac. If Messrs. Ward, Allred, and Emigh are
not elected to the director seats described above, Source is not obligated to
perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement. See "Romac Management" for
information on the nominees on page 79. Unless otherwise indicated, votes will
be cast pursuant to the accompanying proxy FOR the election of these nominees.
Should any nominee become unable or unwilling to accept nomination or election
for any reason, it is intended that votes will be cast for a substitute nominee
designated by the Romac Board. Except as indicated above, the Romac Board has no
reason to believe the nominees named will be unable or unwilling to serve if
elected. See "Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger" on page 45.

ROMAC PROPOSAL 3 -- AMENDMENT TO THE
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO
INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK

The Romac Board has approved a resolution amending the Romac Articles to
increase the authorized Romac Common Stock from 100 million shares to 250
million shares. The Romac Board directed that the proposal to increase Romac's
authorized Common Stock be submitted to the shareholders of Romac for approval
and adoption at the Romac Meeting.

The increase in the number of authorized shares will facilitate using Romac
stock in any future acquisitions and will provide stock for stock dividends,
employee benefit, shareholder rights or similar plans, and other corporate
purposes. Romac currently has no commitments to issue any of the increased
authorized Common Stock except as provided by the Merger Agreement and
outstanding employee stock options. It is not necessary that the proposed
amendment be adopted in order to complete the Merger.

Romac's management believes that the adoption of the amendment is important
for Romac's business and development. Nevertheless, the following matters should
be considered by shareholders in voting on this subject.

88
<PAGE> 97

The Romac Board has proposed a substantial increase in the number of
authorized shares of Romac Common Stock. The increase is designed to provide
flexibility to Romac's Board and management. However, these additional shares,
if issued, could have a substantial dilutive effect on current shareholders. The
authorization to issue the additional shares of Romac Common Stock could provide
the Romac Board with an increased capacity to negate the efforts of unfriendly
tender offerors through the issuance of securities to others who are friendly or
desirable to management.

The proposed increase in authorized stock is not the result of Romac
management's knowledge of any specific effort to accumulate Romac's securities
or to obtain control of Romac by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy
solicitation in opposition to management or otherwise. Romac is not submitting
the proposal to enable it to frustrate the effort by another party to acquire a
controlling interest or to seek Romac Board representation.

The Romac Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR this proposal.

LEGAL MATTERS

Certain legal matters in connection with the issuance of the shares of
Romac Common Stock will be passed upon for Romac by Holland & Knight LLP, Tampa,
Florida.

EXPERTS

The consolidated financial statements incorporated in this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus by reference to the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for Romac

incorporated in reliance on the reports of Price Waterhouse LLP, independent
accountants, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and
accounting.

on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting is mailed or public
disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is made, whichever occurs first.

In addition to the matters required to be set forth by the rules of the
SEC, a shareholder's notice with respect to a proposal to be brought before the
annual meeting must state (a) a brief description of the proposal and the
reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (b) the name and
address, as they appear on Romac's books, of the shareholder proposing such
business and any other shareholders known by such shareholder to be supporting
such proposal, (c) the class and number of shares of Romac that are beneficially
owned by such shareholder on the date of such shareholder notice and by other
shareholders known to such shareholder to be supporting such proposal on the
date of such shareholder notice, and (d) any financial interest of the
shareholder in such proposal.

as to each nominee (i) the name, age, business address, and residence address of
the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the
class and number of shares of Romac that are beneficially owned by such person,

89
<PAGE> 98

(iv) all information that would be required to be included in the proxy

such person's written consent to serve as a director if so elected), and (b) as
to the shareholder providing such notice (i) the name and address, as they
appear on Romac's books, of the shareholder, and (ii) the class and number of
shares of Romac that are beneficially owned by such shareholder on the date of
such shareholder notice.

The complete Romac Articles governing these requirements are available to
any shareholder without charge upon request from the Secretary of Romac.

ARTICLE III
CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

Section 3.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by
virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the holder of
any shares of common stock, par value $.02 per share, of the Company (the
"Company Common Stock").

(a) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and the Parent-Owned Stock. All shares
of Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by the Parent, or any
Subsidiary of the Parent shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to
exist, and no stock of the Parent or other consideration shall be delivered in
exchange therefor. All shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the
Parent (the "Parent Common Stock"), if any, owned by the Company shall remain
unaffected by the Merger.

(b) Conversion of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each
issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than shares to be
cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(a)) shall be converted into the right to
receive the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Parent Common
Stock equal to the applicable Exchange Ratio, determined as follows: if the
Market Price is equal to or between $20.00 and $24.00, the Exchange Ratio shall
be 1.1932; if the Market Price is below that range, the Exchange Ratio shall be
calculated by dividing $23.864 by the Market Price; and if the Market Price is
above that range, the Exchange Ratio shall be calculated by dividing $28.636 by
the Market Price.

(c) Cancellation of Company Common Stock. All shares of Company Common
Stock, when converted pursuant to Section 3.1(b), shall no longer be outstanding
and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and
each holder of a certificate representing any such shares shall cease to have
any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the shares of
Parent Common Stock and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common
Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon the surrender of such
certificate pursuant to Section 3.2, without interest.

Section 3.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. As of the Effective Time, the Parent shall deposit
with Boston Equiserve or such other bank or trust company designated by the
Parent (and reasonably acceptable to the Company) (the "Exchange Agent"), for
the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in
accordance with this Article III, through the Exchange Agent, certificates
representing the shares of Parent Common Stock (such shares of Parent Common
Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being
hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund") issuable pursuant to Section 3.1
in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. The Exchange Agent
shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver Parent Common Stock to be
issued pursuant to Section 3.1 out of the Exchange Fund. Except as contemplated
by Section 3.2(f) of this Agreement, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any
other purpose.

A-5
<PAGE> 110

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the
Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a
certificate or certificates that immediately before the Effective Time
represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the "Certificates")
whose shares were converted pursuant to Section 3.1 into the right to receive
shares of Parent Common Stock (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify
that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates
shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and
shall be in such form and have such other provisions as the Parent and the
Company may reasonably specify), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the
surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares
of Parent Common Stock. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the
Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by the
Parent and the Sub, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the
holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a
certificate representing that number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such
holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article III,
and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of
a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the
transfer records of the Company, a certificate representing the proper number of
shares of Parent Common Stock may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate
representing such Company Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent,
accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and
by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. Until
surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.2, each Certificate shall be
deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to
receive upon such surrender the certificate representing shares of Parent Common
Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock as
contemplated by this Section 3.2.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or
other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to
Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to
the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent
Common Stock represented thereby and no cash payment in lieu of fractional
shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 3.2(e) until the
holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject
to the effect of applicable laws, following surrender of any such Certificate,
there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole
shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i)
at the time of such surrender, the amount (to the extent such amount has been
determined in accordance with Section 3.2(e)) of any cash payable in lieu of a

pursuant to Section 3.2(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions

such whole shares of Parent Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment
date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after

in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common
Stock, subject, however, to the Surviving Corporation's obligation to pay any
dividends or make any other distributions with a record date before the
Effective Time that may have been declared or made by the Company on such shares
of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or before
the date of this Agreement and that remain unpaid at the Effective Time, and

(ii) In lieu of a certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of
Parent Common Stock, the Parent shall pay to each holder that surrenders a
Certificate in accordance with this Section 3.2 and that would otherwise be

Parent Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common
Stock, and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock.
Any part of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by a stockholder of the
Company as of a date that is immediately before the time that the part would
otherwise escheat to or become property of any governmental entity shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Parent, free and
clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(g) No Liability. Neither the Parent nor the Company shall be liable to
any holder of shares of Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock, as the case
may be, for such shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or
cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any
applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar law.

Section 3.3 Certain Adjustments. If between the date of this Agreement
and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or of

shares, or any dividend payable in stock or other securities shall be declared
thereon with a record date within such period, the Exchange Ratio shall be
adjusted accordingly to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock and
Parent Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement
prior to such reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination,

is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has all requisite
corporate power and authority and all necessary governmental approvals to own,
lease, and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being
conducted except where the failure to be so organized, existing, and in good
standing or to have such power, authority, and governmental approvals would not
have a Material Adverse Effect on the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole. The Parent and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to
do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the property
owned, leased, or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it
makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be
so duly qualified or licensed and be in good standing would not in the aggregate
have a Material Adverse Effect on the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole.

Section 5.2 Capitalization. As of the date of this Agreement, the
authorized capital stock of the Parent consists of (a) 100,000,000 shares of
Parent Common Stock of which, as of December 31, 1997, 29,794,592 shares were
issued and outstanding and 608,796 shares were held in treasury, and (b)
15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, of which no
shares are issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance. As of December 31,

exercise of outstanding options pursuant to the Parent Stock Plan. Of these
9,000,000 reserved shares, options to purchase 3,424,865 shares are outstanding
at a weighted average per share exercise price of $9.43. All the outstanding
shares of the Parent's capital stock are, and all shares of Parent Common Stock
that are to be issued pursuant to the Merger or that may be issued pursuant to
the Parent Stock Plan will be, when issued in accordance with the respective
terms thereof, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and

of this Agreement, the only issuances of the Parent's capital stock since
December 31, 1997, were upon the exercise of options outstanding on December 31,
1997, pursuant to the Parent Stock Plan. Except as set forth above and except
for this Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement, there are no existing
options, warrants, calls, subscriptions, other rights, or other agreements or
commitments of any character relating to the issued or unissued capital stock or
Voting Debt of the Parent

to issue, transfer, or sell, or cause to be issued, transferred, or sold, any
shares of capital stock or Voting Debt of, or other equity interests in, the
Parent or of any of its Subsidiaries, or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for such shares or equity interests, or obligating the Parent or
any of its Subsidiaries to grant, extend, or enter into any such option,
warrant, call, subscription, or other right, agreement, or commitment. As of the
date of this Agreement, there are no outstanding contractual obligations of the
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire
any shares of capital stock of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that would
have a Material Adverse Effect on the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole.

Section 5.3 Authority. The Parent has the requisite corporate power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations
under this Agreement. The execution, delivery, and performance of this
Agreement, and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
on the part of the Parent and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the
Parent are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the
transactions so contemplated (other than with respect to the Merger, the
approval of the issuance of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement
by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock).
This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Parent, and, assuming
this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company,
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each of the Parent, enforceable
against them in accordance with its terms.

Section 5.4 Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Neither the execution,
delivery, or performance of this Agreement by the Parent, nor the consummation
by the Parent of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by the
Parent with any of the provisions of this Agreement, will (i) conflict with or
result in any breach of any provision of the respective certificates of
incorporation, or by-laws of the Parent, (ii) except as contemplated in Sections
7.1(c) or 7.5, require any filing with, or authorization, consent, permit, or

not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole), (iii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without
notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of
termination, cancellation, or acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions,
or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, lease, contract,
agreement, or other instrument or obligation to which the Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or any of their properties or
assets may be bound, or (iv) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree,
statute, rule, or regulation applicable to the Parent, any of its Subsidiaries,
or any of their properties or assets, except as they relate to (iii) and (iv),
for violations, breaches, or defaults that would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Parent and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole.

its Subsidiaries has filed with the SEC, and has made available to the Company
true and complete copies of all forms, reports, schedules, statements, and other

Benefit Plan (and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not
constitute or directly or indirectly result in such a "prohibited transaction")
that could subject the Company, the Parent, or any officer, director or employee

permits, licenses, variances, exemptions, orders, and approvals of all
Governmental Entities necessary for the lawful conduct of its business (the

the Parent Permits, except where the failure so to comply would not have a
Material Adverse Effect on the Parent, and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

to obtain (and will cooperate with each other in obtaining) any consent,
authorization, order, or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental

Section 7.8 Company Stock Option Plans.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Parent will substitute for each outstanding
option to purchase Company Common Stock, as amended or modified, (each a
"Company Stock Option") granted under the Company Stock Option Plans, whether
vested or unvested, an option (each a "Replacement Stock Option") to acquire, on
the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Stock Option
prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, any vesting
acceleration terms automatically triggered by the Merger), the number (rounded
down to the nearest whole number) of shares of Parent Common Stock as the holder
of such Company Stock Option would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the
Merger had such holder exercised such option in full immediately before the
Effective Time (not taking into account whether or not such Company Stock Option
was in fact exercisable), at a price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole
cent) equal to (i) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of Company Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to
the Effective Time divided by (ii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock
deemed issuable pursuant to such Company Stock Option at the Effective Time;
however, in the case of any Company Stock Option to which Section 421 of the
Code applies by reason of its qualification under any of Sections 422-424 of the
Code ("Qualified Stock Options"), the option price, the number of shares
purchasable pursuant to such option, and the terms and conditions of exercise of
such option shall be determined in a manner that complies with Section 425(a) of
the Code.

(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Parent shall
deliver to each holder of an outstanding Company Stock Option an appropriate
notice setting forth such holder's rights pursuant to the applicable Replacement
Stock Option.

(c) The Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for
issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery
pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section.

(d) The Parent shall file a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or any
successor form), as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, with respect
to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Replacement
Stock Options, and the Parent shall use its best efforts to maintain the
effectiveness of such registration statement(s) (and maintain the current status
of the prospectus or prospectuses relating thereto) for so long as such
Replacement Stock Options shall remain outstanding.

(e) The Company will take all necessary actions pursuant to the Company
Stock Option Plans and the instruments evidencing the Company Stock Options to
provide for the replacement of the Company Stock Options in accordance with this
Section.

Section 7.9 Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 9.3, whether or not
the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the
party incurring such expenses, and, in connection therewith, each of the Parent
and the Company shall pay, with its own funds and not with funds provided by the
other party, any and all property or transfer taxes imposed on such party,
except that expenses incurred in connection with printing and mailing the Joint
Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement shall be shared equally by the
Parent and the Company.

Section 7.10 Brokers or Finders. Each of the Parent and the Company
represents, as to itself, its Subsidiaries, and its affiliates, that no agent,
broker, investment bankers, financial advisor, or other firm or person is or
will be entitled to any brokers' or finder's fee or any other commission or
similar fee in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement except Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, whose fees and expenses
will be paid by the Parent in accordance with the Parent's agreement with such
firm and Rauscher Pierce Refsnes, Inc. and The Robinson-Humphrey Company, LLC,
whose fees and expenses will be paid by the Company in accordance with the
Company's agreement with such firm (copies of which have been delivered by the
Company to the Parent prior to the date of this Agreement), and each of the
Parent and the Company agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and
against any and all claims, liabilities, or obligations with respect to any
other fees, commissions, or expenses asserted by any person on the basis of any
act or statement alleged to have been made by such party or its affiliate.

Section 7.11 Additional Agreements; Best Efforts. Subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use its best
efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be
done, all things necessary, proper, or advisable under applicable laws and
regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, subject to the appropriate vote of shareholders of the Company
described in Section 8.1(a), including cooperating fully with the other parties.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the parties shall
provide all information and make all necessary filings under the HSR Act, and
the Parent shall use its best efforts to obtain regulatory approvals or
clearances to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. If at any time
after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry
out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with
full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities, and
franchises of either of the Constituent Corporations, the proper officers and
directors of each party to this Agreement shall take all such necessary action.

Section 7.12 Tax Treatment. The Company and the Parent agree to treat the
Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

reasonable efforts to develop a joint communications plan and each party shall
use all reasonable efforts to ensure that all press releases and other public
statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall
be consistent with such joint communications plan or, to the extent inconsistent
therewith, shall have received the prior written approval of the other.

Section 7.14 Indemnification; Directors' and Officers' Liability
Insurance. All rights to indemnification and/or reimbursement existing in favor
of any present or former director, officer, or employee of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries (an "Indemnified Party") as provided in (a) the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or (b) the certificate of incorporation,
bylaws, or similar organizational documents of any of its subsidiaries, or (c)
such related contracts as are listed on Schedule 7.14, each as in effect on the
date hereof, shall survive the Merger with respect to matters occurring at or
prior to the Effective Time including without limitation, those with respect to
this Agreement. The Parent agrees that pursuant to the terms of the Merger such
obligations and liabilities with respect to indemnification and reimbursement of
the Indemnified Parties shall become obligations and liabilities of the Parent
and the Surviving Corporation and its respective successors. For a period of six
years after the Closing Date, the Parent and the Sub shall cause to be
maintained in effect, at no expense to the insured thereunder, the current
policy or policies (hereinafter, simply "Current Policy") of directors' and
officers' liability insurance ("D&O Insurance") maintained by the Company;
however, (i) the Parent shall have the right to substitute therefor a policy or
policies that provide the same limit of liability as the Current Policy and that
provide, in all material respects, the same coverage as the Current Policy, (ii)
the D&O Insurance to be maintained during such six-year period shall cover only
wrongful facts of the insureds that occur prior to the Closing Date; and (iii)

THE ROBINSON-HUMPHREY COMPANY, LLC
ATLANTA FINANCIAL CENTER
3333 PEACHTREE ROAD, NE
ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30326

February 1, 1998

Source Services Corporation
5580 LBJ Freeway
Suite 300
Dallas, Texas 75240

Attention: Board of Directors

Dear Sirs:

We understand that Source Services Corporation (the "Company" or "Source
Services") is considering a proposed merger between the Company and Romac
International, Inc. ("Romac"). We understand that this merger (the "Proposed
Transaction"), shareholders of Source Services will receive 1.1932 shares of
Common Stock of Romac (the "Exchange Ratio") in exchange for each Source
Services Common Share held by them immediately prior to the implementation of
the Merger, as described in detail in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
February 1, 1998 between Source Services and Romac (the "Agreement").

We have been requested by the Company to render our opinion with respect to
the fairness to the Company's stockholders, as of February 1, 1998, from a
financial point of view, of the Exchange Ratio in the Proposed Transaction. This
letter serves as the written confirmation of the oral opinion which we delivered
to the Board of Directors of Source Services on January 31, 1998.

In arriving at our opinion, we reviewed and analyzed: (1) the Agreement,
(2) publicly available information concerning the Company and Romac which we
believe to be relevant to our inquiry, (3) financial and operating information
with respect to the business, operations and prospects of the Company and Romac
furnished to us by the Company and Romac, (4) trading histories of the Company's
Common Stock and Romac Common Stock (5) a comparison of the historical financial
results and present financial condition of the Company and Romac with those of
other companies which we deemed relevant, (6) a comparison of the financial
terms of the Proposed Transaction with the financial terms of certain other
transactions which we deemed relevant, and (7) certain historical data relating
to percentage premiums paid in acquisitions of publicly traded companies. In
addition, we held discussions with the managements of the Company and Romac
concerning their business and operations, assets, present condition and future
prospects and undertook such other studies, analyses and investigations as we
deemed appropriate.

We have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and
other information used by us in arriving at our opinion without independent
verification. In arriving at our opinion, we have not conducted a physical
inspection of the properties and facilities of the Company or of Romac. We have
not made nor obtained any evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities
of the Company or of Romac. Our opinion is necessarily based upon market,
economic and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated as of the date
of this letter. The financial markets in general and the markets for the
securities of Source Services and Romac, in particular, are subject to
volatility, and this letter does not purport to address potential developments
in the financial markets or the markets for the securities of Source Services
and Romac after the date hereof.

We have acted as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with the
Proposed Transaction and will receive a fee from the Company for our services, a
portion of which is contingent on the consummation of the Proposed Transaction.
In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities
arising our of the rendering of this opinion. We have served as managing
underwriter for one public offering of the

A-38
<PAGE> 143

Company's securities, for which we have received customary fees, and have
provided general advice from time to time for the Company in the past. In the
ordinary course of our business, we actively trade in the Common Stock of the
Company for our own account and for the accounts of our customers and,
accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

This letter is for the information of the Board of Directors of Source
Services in connection with and in consideration of the Proposed Transaction and
is not to be quoted or referred to, in whole or in part, in any registration
statement, proxy or proxy statement, or in any other document used in connection
with the offer or sale of securities, nor shall this letter be used for any
other purpose, without the prior written consent of The Robinson-Humphrey
Company, LLC; provided, however, that this letter may be reproduced in full in
the proxy statement/prospectus to be filed with the SEC, which proxy
statement/prospectus is being provided to the Company's stockholders in
connection with the Proposed Transaction.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that as of
February 1, 1998, from a financial point of view, the Exchange Ratio in the
Proposed Transaction is fair to the stockholders of the Company.

Very truly yours,

THE ROBINSON-HUMPHREY COMPANY, LLC

APPENDIX III

(BAIRD LETTERHEAD)

January 30, 1998

Board of Directors
Romac International, Inc.
120 West Hyde Park Place
Tampa, FL 33606

Gentlemen:

Romac International, Inc. (the "Company") proposes to enter into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Source Services
Corporation ("Source"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time
(as defined in the Merger Agreement), Source will be merged with and into the
Company (the "Merger") and each outstanding share of common stock, par value
$0.02 per share ("Source Common Stock"), of Source (other than shares held by
the Company, Source or any of their respective subsidiaries) will be converted
solely into the right to receive the number of shares of common stock, par value
$0.01 per share ("Company Common Stock"), of the Company equal to the Exchange
Ratio (as hereinafter defined).

The "Exchange Ratio" means 1.1932 shares of Company Common Stock; provided
that if the Market Price (as defined below) determined on the Closing Date is
less than $20.00, the Exchange Ratio shall be calculated by dividing $23.864 by
the Market Price determined on the Closing Date; and if the Market Price
determined on the Closing Date is greater than $24.00, the Exchange Ratio shall
be calculated by dividing $28.636 by the Market Price determined on the Closing
Date. The "Market Price" means the weighted average price per share of sales of
the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market for the fifteen (15)
consecutive trading days preceding the third trading day immediately preceding
the Closing Date. The Company has the right to terminate the Merger Agreement if
the Market Price is less than $20.00 per share.

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness of the Exchange Ratio to
the Company from a financial point of view.

Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated ("Baird"), as part of its investment
banking business, is engaged in the evaluation of businesses and their
securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated
underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and
unlisted securities, private placements, and valuations for estate, corporate
and other purposes.

In conducting our investigation and analysis and in arriving at our opinion
herein, we have reviewed such information and taken into account such financial
and economic factors, as we have deemed relevant under the circumstances. In
that connection, we have, among other things: (i) reviewed certain internal
information, primarily financial in nature, including projections, concerning
the business and operations of the Company and Source furnished to us for
purposes of our analysis, as well as publicly available information including,
but not limited to the Company's and Source's most recent filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and research reports on the
Company and Source prepared by the equity analysts of various investment banking
firms, including Baird; (ii) reviewed the draft Merger Agreement in the form
presented to the Company's Board of Directors on the date thereof, which
included the Exchange Ratio; (iii) compared the financial position and operating
results of the Company and Source with those of other publicly traded companies
we deemed relevant; (iv) compared the historical market prices and trading
activity of the

A-40
<PAGE> 145

Company Common Stock and Source Common Stock with those of certain other
publicly traded companies we deemed relevant (v) compared the proposed financial
terms of the Merger with the financial terms of certain other business
combinations we deemed relevant; and (vi) reviewed certain potential pro forma
effects of the Merger on the Company. We have held discussions with members of
Source's and the Company's senior management concerning Source's and the
Company's historical and current financial condition and operating results, as
well as future prospects. We have also considered such other information,
financial studies, analysis and investigations and financial, economic and
market criteria which we deemed relevant for the preparation of this opinion.

In arriving at our opinion, we have assumed and relied upon the accuracy
and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was publicly
available or provided to us by or on behalf of the Company and Source, and have
not been engaged to independently verify any such information. We have assumed,
with your consent, (i) that all material assets and liabilities (contingent or
otherwise, known or unknown) of the Company and Source are as set forth in their
respective financial statements, (ii) the Merger will be accounted for as a
pooling of interests transaction, (iii) the strategic and operating benefits
currently contemplated by the Company's and Source's management will be realized
and (iv) the merger will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement, without any material amendment thereto and without waiver by the
Company or Source of any of the material conditions to their respective
obligations thereunder. We have also assumed that the financial forecasts of the
Company and Source examined by us were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting
the best available estimates and good faith judgments of the Company's senior
management as to future performance of the Company, and Source's senior
management as to future performance of Source. In conducting our review, we have
not undertaken nor obtained an independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the
assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company or Source. Our
opinion necessarily is based upon economic, monetary and market conditions as
they exist and can be evaluated on the date hereof, and does not predict or take
into account any changes which may occur, or information which may become
available, after the date hereof.

Our opinion has been prepared at the request and for the information of the
Board of Directors of the Company, and shall not be used for any other purpose
or disclosed to any other party without the prior written consent of Baird;
provided, however, that this letter may be reproduced in full in the proxy
statement / prospectus to be filed with the SEC and provided to the Company's
stockholders in connection with the Merger. This opinion does not address the
relative merits of the Merger and any other potential transactions or business
strategies considered by the Company's Board of Directors, and does not
constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of the Company as to how any such
shareholder should vote with respect to the Merger. In addition, we are
expressing no opinion as to the price at which the Company Common Stock will
trade at any time. Baird will receive a fee from the Company for rendering this
opinion and a fee in the event the Merger is completed. In the past, we have
provided investment banking services to the Company, including acting as (i)
co-manager in connection with the 1995 initial public offering the Company
Common Stock, (ii) lead manager in connection with the 1996 public offering of
the Company Common Stock and (iii) lead manager in connection with the 1997
public offering of the Company Common Stock. Baird received customary
compensation for the above-mentioned services.

In the ordinary course of our business, we may from time to time trade the
securities of the Company or Source for our own account or the accounts of our
customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold long or short positions in such
securities. Additionally, Baird makes a market in the Company's Common Stock on
the Nasdaq National Market.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, as of
the date hereof, the Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to
the Company.

Very truly yours,

ROBERT W. BAIRD & CO. INCORPORATED
