                                  THE COMPANY
 
   
    TMP Worldwide Inc. ("TMP" or the "Company") is a marketing services,
communications and technology company that provides comprehensive, individually
tailored advertising services including development of creative content, media
planning, production and placement of corporate advertising, market research,
direct marketing and other ancillary services and products. The Company is the
world's largest yellow page advertising agency and, the Company believes, one of
the world's largest recruitment advertising agencies. In 1995, the Company began
marketing Internet-based services as extensions of its core business and has
become a growing provider of Internet content. The Company offers advertising
programs to more than 17,000 clients, including more than 70 of the Fortune 100
and more than 240 of the Fortune 500 companies. The Company's growth strategy is
to continue to actively pursue consolidation opportunities in its core
advertising business and to leverage its client base and its approximately 1,500
sales, marketing and customer service personnel to expand its Internet-based
business. Except for the acquisition of three small recruitment advertising
agencies, the Company has no current plans for any additional acquisitions. See
"Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information." For the year ended
December 31, 1995, the Company's gross billings were $596.1 million, commissions
and fees were $123.9 million, net income was $3.2 million and EBITDA was $25.0
million.
    
 
    TMP is the world's largest yellow page advertising agency, generating
approximately $425 million in gross billings for the year ended December 31,
1995. TMP believes it is one of the world's largest
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
   
recruitment advertising agencies, generating approximately $165 million in gross
billings for the same period. With approximately 30% of the national accounts
segment of the U.S. yellow page advertising market, TMP is approximately three
times larger than its nearest competitor, based on gross billings. In the
fragmented recruitment advertising agency market, the Company believes that it
has a 7% market share in the U.S. and a 6% market share worldwide. A substantial
part of the Company's growth has been achieved through acquisitions. From
January 1, 1993 through December 31, 1995, TMP completed 26 acquisitions which
have estimated annual gross billings of $200 million. In 1996, through November
15, the Company completed ten acquisitions with estimated annual gross billings
of $180 million including the acquisition in July 1996 of Neville Jeffress
Australia Pty Limited ("Neville Jeffress"), one of the largest recruitment
advertising agencies in Australia, which has estimated annual gross billings of
$140 million. The Company believes additional acquisition opportunities exist,
particularly in the recruitment advertising and Internet markets, and intends to
continue its strategy of making acquisitions which relate to its core business.
    
 
    TMP has created innovative solutions to assist its clients in capitalizing
on the growing awareness and acceptance of the Internet. For its recruitment
advertising clients, TMP has developed interactive career hubs which can be
accessed by individuals seeking employment via the Internet on a global basis.
The Company has several career hubs, including The Monster Board-Registered
Trademark-, Online Career Center-SM-, Be the Boss-SM- and MedSearch-SM-, which
collectively contain over 35,000 job listings. In 1996, the Company began
marketing its Dealer Locator service to yellow page clients. Dealer Locator
provides clients with the ability to offer World Wide Web ("Web") pages for
their local offices, franchisees or dealers. Potential customers can then access
these pages on the Internet by zip code or other key word searches.
 
    The Company's predecessor was formed in 1967 by Andrew J. McKelvey. The
Company was incorporated in Delaware in August 1996. Its executive offices are
located at 1633 Broadway, 33rd Floor, New York, New York 10019, and its
telephone number at that location is (212) 977-4200.
 
    YELLOW PAGE ADVERTISING.  TMP develops yellow page marketing programs for
national accounts, clients which sell products or services in multiple markets.
The national segment of the yellow page advertising market was a $1.4 billion
market in the U.S. for the year ended December 31, 1995. The national yellow
page market has grown each year since 1981. During the period of 1990 through
1995, the market grew at a compound average rate of approximately 4.5%. Yellow
page advertising is a complex process involving the creation of effective
imagery and message and the development of media plans which evaluate
approximately 7,000 yellow page directories of which TMP's larger accounts
utilize over 2,000. Coordinating the placement of advertisements in this number
of directories requires an extensive effort at the local level, and TMP's sales,
marketing and customer service staff of over 1,500 people provides an important
competitive advantage in marketing and executing yellow page advertising
programs. TMP earns commissions from yellow page advertising paid by directory
publishers which result in an effective commission rate to the Company of
approximately 20% of yellow page gross billings. See "Business-- TMP's Yellow
Page Business."
 
    TMP takes a proactive approach to yellow page advertising by undertaking
original research on the efficacy of the medium, in many cases quantifying the
effectiveness of a given advertising campaign. The Company also has a rigorous
quality assurance program designed to ensure client satisfaction. The Company
believes that this program has resulted in an increase in TMP's yellow page
client retention rate from 90% in 1991 to 96% in 1995.
 
    RECRUITMENT ADVERTISING.  For the year ended December 31, 1995, total
spending on advertisements in North America in the recruitment classified
advertisement section of newspapers was approximately $4.5 billion. While the
recruitment advertising market has historically been cyclical, during the period
of 1990 through 1995, the U.S. market grew at a compound annual growth rate of
approximately 11.5%. The Company receives commissions generally equal to 15% of
recruitment advertising gross billings. The Company also earns fees from
value-added services such as design, research and other creative and
administrative services which resulted in aggregate commissions and fees equal
to approximately 21% of recruitment advertising gross billings.
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
    The services provided by recruitment advertising agencies can be complex and
range from the design and placement of classifed advertisements to the creation
of comprehensive image campaigns which "brand" a client as a quality employer.
Further, shortages of qualified employees in many industries, particularly in
the technology area, have increased the need for recruitment advertising
agencies to expand the breadth of their service offerings to effect national and
sometimes global recruitment campaigns. For these reasons, the Company believes
that over time, the proportion of overall recruitment advertising placed through
recruitment advertising agencies will grow. Given the scale of its recruitment
advertising operations and the scope of its service offerings, the Company
believes it is well positioned to participate in this market growth. See
"Business--TMP's Recruitment Advertising Business."
 
    INTERNET SERVICES.  The Company's Internet based services complement its
traditional advertising businesses. In recruitment, the Company has several
career hubs, including The Monster Board-Registered Trademark-, Online Career
Center-SM-, Be the Boss-SM- and MedSearch-SM- which provide continuously
available databases of job opportunities. Users of these hubs can search for
employment opportunities by location, type of job and other criteria. Resumes
can be sent to prospective employers electronically and submitted on-line or via
mail. Users can also access other value-added services such as discussion forums
and on-line career advice. Based on its experience with its clients, TMP
believes that only 20% to 30% of open job positions are advertised using
traditional print media and that on-line solutions, which are significantly less
expensive than traditional recruitment methods, will significantly expand the
recruitment advertising market. More than 55 of the Fortune 100 companies are
utilizing the Company's career hubs.
 
    Dealer Locator, which is marketed to both existing and potential yellow page
accounts, allows clients to offer Web pages for local offices, dealers or
franchise locations which are linked to the client's corporate Web site. These
pages are designed to generate additional customer flow while reinforcing brand
imagery contained in other advertising programs. Dealer Locator home pages will
typically include address, directions, hours of operation and potentially other
information such as sale items. Over time, the Company intends to increase the
utility of Dealer Locator through the introduction of additional interactive
functions.
 
    TMP believes its pre-existing relationships with yellow page and recruitment
advertising clients and its sales, marketing and customer service staff of over
1,500 people provide an important competitive advantage in pursuing the market
for Internet clients. Further, the Company believes its innovative Internet
products will provide an opportunity to enhance its ability to market both
traditional advertising and Internet services to non-TMP clients. See
"Business--TMP's Yellow Page Business--Internet Based Solutions for Yellow Page
Advertising Clients" and "--TMP's Recruitment Advertising Business--Internet
Based Solutions for Recruitment Advertising Clients."

(1) Includes 162,865 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the treasury stock
    method for outstanding stock options. The former stockholders of a
    recruitment advertising company (the "Kidd Stockholders") acquired by the
    Company in 1995 have a number of options to acquire Common Stock. The
    aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which these options are
    exercisable is determined by dividing $1,195,000 by the Company's per share
    initial public offering price. The number of shares indicated above assumes
    a per share initial public offering price of $14.50 (the midpoint of the
    range of the estimated initial public offering price) which by application
    of the foregoing formula results in these options being exercisable into
    82,410 shares of Common Stock and assumes that such options were exercised
    upon the effectiveness of this offering. BNY Financial Corporation has a
    warrant to purchase approximately 1% of the issued and outstanding shares of
    Common Stock, after giving effect to this offering (228,739 shares of Common
    Stock). The number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding after this
    offering assumes that 82,410 shares were issued to the Kidd Stockholders and
    that BNY Financial Corporation exercised its warrant in full.

- ------------------------
 
(1) Operating results for the year ended December 31, 1992 include a
    non-recurring charge of approximately $14.1 million principally related to
    the write-off of development costs of a computerized data base system.
    Excluding this charge, operating income, net loss (net of the related tax
    effect of $5.6 million) and operating expenses as a percentage of
    commissions and fees would have been $2.2 million, $(1.9 million) and 96.3%.
 
   
(2) The pro forma as adjusted financial information gives effect to (i) the
    acquisitions that are described in the "Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
    Financial Information" (collectively, the "Acquisitions"), (ii) borrowings
    under the Company's financing agreement to finance the Acquisitions, as if
    these transactions had occurred on January 1, 1995 for purposes of the
    statement of operations data and as if they had occurred on September 30,
    1996 with respect to the balance sheet data, (iii) the sale of 4,147,437
    shares of Common Stock by the Company hereby at an assumed initial public
    offering price of $14.50 per share (the midpoint of the range of the
    estimated initial public offering price) and the application of the
    estimated net proceeds therefrom, after deducting the estimated underwriting
    discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company to
    repay debt (including debt used to finance the Acquisitions) as if the
    offering had occurred on January 1, 1995 for purposes of the statement of
    operations data, and as if this offering had occurred on September 30, 1996
    with respect to the balance sheet data, and (iv) goodwill in the amount of
    approximately $2 million and amortization thereon resulting from the
    issuance of 271,278 shares of Common Stock of the Company, in connection
    with the Mergers, to the Old TMP stockholders who had been previously issued
    shares of Old TMP in exchange for their minority interests in certain
    operating subsidiaries in which they were original owners and, accordingly,
    were considered to have made a substantive investment, and is based on an
    assumed initial public offering price of $14.50 per share (the midpoint of
    the range of the estimated initial public offering price), less $2,178
    previously recorded on issuance of their Old TMP shares. See "Use of
    Proceeds," "Capitalization" and "Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial
    Information."
    
 
   
(3) Special compensation consists of the value of shares issued in connection
    with the acquisition of a minority interest in a subsidiary in August 1996
    because the stockholder had received his shares in the subsidiary for no
    consideration and, accordingly, was not considered to have made a
    substantive investment for the minority shares. This compensation has been
    eliminated in the pro forma as adjusted financial information. The pro forma
    as adjusted financial information does not reflect anticipated charges to
    fourth quarter 1996 earnings, the quarter in which this offering is expected
    to be completed for (i) special management compensation in the amount of
    approximately $52 million resulting from the issuance of 3,584,790 shares of
    Common Stock of the Company, in connection with the Mergers, to the Old TMP,
    WCI and MEI subsidiary stockholders in exchange for their shares in those
    companies which they had received for nominal or no consideration, as
    employees or as management of businesses financed substantially by the
    Principal Stockholder and, accordingly, were not considered to have made
    substantive investments for their minority shares, and is based on an
    assumed initial public offering price of $14.50 per share (the midpoint of
    the range of the estimated initial public offering price) and (ii)
    additional interest expense of approximately $2.7 million upon the exercise
    of a warrant, issued in connection with the Company's financing agreement,
    to reflect the difference between the value of the stock issued at the
    assumed initial public offering price of $14.50 per share (the midpoint of
    the range of the estimated initial public offering price) and the valuation
    recorded for the warrant when it was originally issued. The statement of
    operations for the fourth quarter of 1996 will also include a pro forma
    presentation for net income and earnings per share to exclude such
    non-recurring charges.
    
 
   
(4) Reflects the pro forma elimination of special compensation in the amount of
    $672 incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
    
 
   
(5) Represents fees earned in connection with yellow page, recruitment and other
    advertisements placed on the Internet.
    
 
   
(6) Upon the consummation of this offering, the put option related to certain
    shares of Common Stock will be eliminated and such Common Stock will be
    reclassified to stockholders' equity.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
    PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF THE COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY SHOULD CONSIDER
CAREFULLY THE INFORMATION SET FORTH BELOW AS WELL AS THE OTHER INFORMATION SET
FORTH IN THIS PROSPECTUS. THIS PROSPECTUS CONTAINS, IN ADDITION TO HISTORICAL
INFORMATION, FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES.
THOSE STATEMENTS APPEAR IN A NUMBER OF PLACES IN THIS PROSPECTUS AND INCLUDE
STATEMENTS REGARDING THE INTENT, BELIEF OR CURRENT EXPECTATIONS OF THE COMPANY,
ITS DIRECTORS OR ITS OFFICERS WITH RESPECT TO (I) FUTURE GROSS BILLINGS LEVELS,
(II) FUTURE PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY'S INTERNET BUSINESS AND (III) FUTURE
PRODUCT OFFERINGS BY THE COMPANY. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER
MATERIALLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT
OF CERTAIN FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE DISCUSSED BELOW AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS.
 
UNCERTAIN ACCEPTANCE OF THE INTERNET
 
    Use of the Internet by consumers is at a very early stage of development,
and market acceptance of the Internet as a medium for information,
entertainment, commerce and advertising is subject to a high level of
uncertainty. The Company's clients have only limited experience with the
Internet as an advertising medium and such clients have not devoted a
significant portion of their advertising budgets to Internet-based advertising
in the past. In addition, a significant portion of the Company's potential
clients have no experience with the Internet as an advertising medium and have
not devoted any portion of their advertising budgets to Internet-based
advertising in the past. Further, the recently enacted Communications Decency
Act could slow the growth of the Internet and decrease the acceptance of the
Internet as an advertising medium. There can be no assurance that advertisers
will be persuaded to allocate or continue to allocate portions of their budgets
to Internet-based advertising. If Internet-based advertising is not widely
accepted by advertisers and advertising agencies, the Company's business,
financial condition and operating results, including its expected rate of
commissions and fees growth, would be materially adversely affected. See
"Business--Government Regulation."
 
UNCERTAIN ACCEPTANCE OF THE COMPANY'S INTERNET CONTENT
 
    The Company's future growth depends in part upon its ability to deliver
original and compelling services in order to attract users valuable to the
Company's advertising clients. There can be no assurance that the Company's
content will be attractive to a sufficient number of Internet users to generate
material advertising revenues. There also can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to anticipate, monitor and successfully respond to rapidly changing
consumer tastes and preferences so as to attract a sufficient number of users to
its Web sites. Internet users can freely navigate and instantly switch among a
large number of Web sites, many of which offer original content, making it
difficult for the Company to distinguish its content and attract users. In
addition, many other Web sites offer very specific, highly targeted content that
could have greater appeal than the Company's sites to particular subsets of the
Company's target audience.
 
UNCERTAIN ABILITY TO MANAGE GROWTH
 
    The Company's business has grown rapidly in recent periods. The growth of
the Company's business has placed a significant strain on the Company's
management and operations. The Company's expansion has resulted, and is expected
in the future to result, in substantial growth in the number of its employees
and in increased responsibility for both existing and new management personnel
and strain on the Company's existing operations, financial and management
information systems. The Company's success depends to a significant extent on
the ability of its executive officers and other members of senior management to
operate effectively both independently and as a group. If the Company is not
able to manage existing or anticipated growth, the Company's business, financial
condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected. See
"Management--Executive Officers and Directors."
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUISITIONS
 
    The Company expects that it will continue to grow, in part, by acquiring
businesses. The success of this strategy depends upon several factors including
the continued availability of financing and the Company's ability to identify
and acquire businesses on a cost-effective basis, as well as its continued
ability to integrate acquired personnel, operations, products and technologies
into its organization effectively, to retain and motivate key personnel and to
retain the clients of acquired firms. There can be no assurance that financing
will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or that the Company will
be able to identify or consummate new acquisitions, or manage its recent or
future expansions successfully, and any inability to do so would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and operating
results. There also can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain
the rates of growth that it has experienced in the past.
 
   
LITIGATION
    
 
   
    In November 1996, an action was commenced in the Supreme Court of the State
of New York against Old TMP, WCI and Andrew J. McKelvey by a former employee.
The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants breached
purported contractual obligations pursuant to which the former employee was
entitled to a 40% ownership interest in the Company's recruitment advertising
business, and breached fiduciary obligations to the former employee arising out
of the deprivation of his supposed 40% interest. The former employee seeks
damages in an unspecified amount and punitive damages in the amount of $10
million for each claim. The Company and Mr. McKelvey intend to vigorously
contest the complaint. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of the
litigation and, in the event of a decision adverse to the Company, the Company's
business, financial condition and operating results, and the Company's
stockholders, could be materially adversely affected. Mr. McKelvey has agreed to
indemnify the Company against any adverse judgment. There can be no assurance,
however, that Mr. McKelvey will have sufficient financial resources to satisfy
any indemnification claims.
    
 
UNCERTAIN VIABILITY OF TRADITIONAL MEDIA
 
   
    The Company derives a substantial portion of its commissions and fees from
placing advertising in yellow page directories, constituting approximately 60%
of total commissions and fees for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The
Company also derives a substantial portion of its commissions and fees from
designing and placing recruitment advertisements in traditional media such as
newspapers and trade publications, constituting approximately 37% of total
commissions and fees for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. There can be
no assurance that the commissions received by the Company in the future will be
equal to the commissions which it has historically received. To the extent that
new media, such as the Internet, cause yellow page directories and other forms
of traditional media to be less desirable forms of advertising media without at
least a proportionate fee increase generated from advertising on the Internet,
of which there can be no assurance, the Company's business, financial condition
and operating results will be materially adversely affected.
    
 
COMPETITION; LOW BARRIERS TO ENTRY
 
    The markets for the Company's services are highly competitive and are
characterized by pressures to reduce prices, incorporate new capabilities and
technologies and accelerate job completion schedules.
 
    The Company faces competition from a number of sources. These sources
include national and regional advertising agencies, specialized and integrated
marketing communication firms and traditional media companies. In addition, with
respect to new media, many advertising agencies and publications have started to
either internally develop or acquire new media capabilities. Some established
companies that provide integrated specialized services (such as advertising
services or Web site design) and are technologically proficient, especially in
the new media arena, are also competing with the Company. Many of the Company's
competitors or potential competitors have long operating histories, and some may
have greater financial, management, technological development, sales, marketing
and other resources than the
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
Company. In addition, the Company's ability to maintain its existing clients and
generate new clients depends to a significant degree on the quality of its
services and its reputation among its clients and potential clients.
 
    Although the Company believes that there are defensible barriers to entry
into its businesses, the Company has no significant proprietary technology that
would preclude or inhibit competitors from entering yellow page, recruitment or
on-line advertising markets. There can be no assurance that existing or future
competitors will not develop or offer services and products that provide
significant performance, price, creative or other advantages over those offered
by the Company, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and operating results.
 
FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS; SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS
 
   
    The Company's quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and
may fluctuate in the future as a result of a variety of factors, including the
timing of acquisitions, the timing of yellow page directory closings, the
largest number of which currently occur in the third quarter, and the receipt of
commissions earned from yellow page publishers for achieving a specified volume
of advertising, which commissions are typically reported in the fourth quarter.
In addition, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the quarter in which this
offering is expected to be completed, there will be: (i) a non-recurring charge
of approximately $52 million for special management compensation resulting from
the issuance of 3,584,790 shares of Common Stock of the Company, in connection
with the Mergers, to the Old TMP, WCI and MEI subsidiary stockholders in
exchange for their shares in those companies which they had received for nominal
or no consideration, as employees or as management of businesses financed
substantially by the Principal Stockholder and, accordingly, were not considered
to have made substantive investments for their minority shares, and is based on
an assumed initial public offering price of $14.50 per share (the midpoint of
the range of the estimated initial public offering price), and (ii) additional
interest expense of approximately $2.7 million upon the exercise of a warrant,
issued in connection with the Company's financing agreement, to reflect the
difference between the value of the stock issued at the assumed initial public
offering price of $14.50 per share (the midpoint of the range of the estimated
initial public offering price) and the valuation recorded for the warrant when
it was originally issued. The statement of operations for such quarter will also
include a pro forma presentation for net income and earnings per share to
exclude such non-recurring charges. The Company also experiences some
seasonality in its business. The Company's commissions and fees from recruitment
advertising are also subject to fluctuation based upon general economic
conditions. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Quarterly Results."
    
 
RISKS OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE
 
    The market for Internet products and services is characterized by rapid
technological developments, frequent new product introductions and evolving
industry standards. The emerging character of these products and services and
their rapid evolution will require that the Company continually improve the
performance, features and reliability of its Internet content, particularly in
response to competitive offerings. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in responding quickly, cost effectively and sufficiently to
these developments. In addition, the widespread adoption of new Internet
technologies or standards could require substantial expenditures by the Company
to modify or adapt its Web sites and services and could affect the Company's
financial condition or operating results. In addition, new Internet services or
enhancements which are or may be offered by the Company may contain design flaws
or other defects that could require costly modifications or result in a loss of
client confidence, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition or operating results.
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
 
    The Company's continued success will depend to a significant extent upon its
senior management, including Andrew J. McKelvey, the Company's Chairman of the
Board and President. The loss of the services of one or more key employees could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
operating results. In addition, if one or more key employees join a competitor
or form a competing company, the resulting loss of existing or potential clients
could have a material adverse effect of the Company's business, financial
condition or operating results. In the event of the loss of any such employee,
there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to prevent the
unauthorized disclosure or use of its procedures, practices, new product
development or client lists.
 
CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER
 
    Following completion of this offering, Andrew J. McKelvey will beneficially
own all of the outstanding Class B Common Stock, which will represent 94.5% of
the combined voting power of all classes of voting stock of the Company. As a
result, Mr. McKelvey will be able to direct the election of all of the members
of the Company's Board of Directors and exercise a controlling influence over
the business and affairs of the Company, including any determinations with
respect to mergers or other business combinations involving the Company, the
acquisition or disposition of assets of the Company, the incurrence of
indebtedness by the Company, the issuance of any additional Common Stock or
other equity securities and the payment of dividends with respect to the Common
Stock. Similarly, Mr. McKelvey will have the power to determine matters
submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders without the consent of the
Company's other stockholders and will have the power to prevent a change of
control of the Company.
 
   
INDEBTEDNESS OF THE COMPANY
    
 
   
    Upon consummation of this offering, the Company will have outstanding
indebtedness of approximately $74 million, including approximately $43 million
under its financing agreement with BNY Financial Corporation. In the past the
Company has violated certain financial covenants under a prior financing
agreement with BNY Financial Corporation; such violations were waived. To the
extent the Company violates its existing financial covenants and such violations
are not waived, the Company could be materially adversely affected. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."
    
 
AFFILIATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
   
    From time to time, the Company has made advances to Messrs. McKelvey, David
A. Hosokawa, a Vice Chairman of the Company, and Thomas G. Collison, a Vice
Chairman of the Company. As of September 30, 1996, these advances totaled
approximately $9.7 million. To the extent that these advances are not repaid,
the Company could be materially adversely affected. These advances do not bear
interest; however, after the closing of this offering, Mr. McKelvey's advances
will bear interest at the prime rate. In addition, these advances are unsecured
and the Company bears the risk of repayment. The Company and Mr. McKelvey and
certain other of the Company's affiliates and directors have also been parties
to certain other transactions with the Company. See "Certain Transactions."
    
 
ANTITAKEOVER EFFECTS OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION,
  BYLAWS AND DELAWARE LAW
 
    Upon completion of this offering, the Company's Board of Directors will have
the authority to issue up to 800,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock and
to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions,
including voting and conversion rights of such shares, without any further vote
or action by the Company's stockholders. The rights of the holders of Common
Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the
holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The issuance of
preferred stock could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third
party to acquire a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company. The
Company has no current plans to issue shares of preferred stock following this
offering. Further, certain provisions of the Company's
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and of Delaware law could delay, prevent
or make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving the
Company. Among other things, these provisions specify advance notice
requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations. In addition,
upon consummation of this offering, Mr. McKelvey will control 94.5% of the
combined voting power of all classes of voting stock of the Company. See
"--Control by Principal Stockholder" and "Description of Capital Stock."
 
FOREIGN OPERATIONS AND RELATED RISKS
 
    The Company conducts operations in various foreign countries, including
Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. The Company receives commissions and
fees in local currency and, consequently, the Company is at risk for exchange
rate fluctuations between such local currencies and the dollar. The Company does
not conduct any significant hedging activities. The Company is also subject to
taxation in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, transactions between the Company
and its foreign subsidiaries may be subject to U.S. and foreign withholding
taxes. Applicable tax rates in foreign jurisdictions differ from those of the
U.S., and are subject to periodic change. The extent, if any, to which the
Company will receive credit in the U.S. for taxes paid in foreign jurisdictions
will depend upon the application of limitations set forth in the Internal
Revenue Code, as well as the provisions of any tax treaties which may exist
between the U.S. and such foreign jurisdictions.
 
NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
 
    Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock. There can be no assurance that an active trading market in the Common
Stock will develop or continue after this offering. The initial public offering
price will be determined through negotiations among the Company, the Selling
Stockholders and the Representatives of the Underwriters and may not be
indicative of the market price for the Common Stock after this offering. See
"Underwriters."
 
    The stock market has, from time to time, experienced extreme price and
volume fluctuations. Factors such as announcements by the Company of variations
in its quarterly financial results and fluctuations in advertising commissions
and fees, including the percentage of the Company's commissions and fees derived
from Internet-based services and products could cause the market price of the
Common Stock to fluctuate significantly. Further, due to the volatility of the
stock market generally, the price of the Common Stock could fluctuate for
reasons unrelated to the operating performance of the Company.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
    As an advertising agency which creates and places print and Internet
advertisements, the Company is subject to Sections 5 and 12 of the Federal Trade
Commission Act (the "FTC Act") which regulate advertising in all media,
including the Internet, and require advertisers and advertising agencies to have
substantiation for advertising claims before disseminating advertisements. The
FTC Act prohibits the dissemination of false, deceptive, misleading, and unfair
advertising, and grants the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") enforcement powers
to impose and seek civil penalties, consumer redress, injunctive relief and
other remedies upon advertisers and advertising agencies which disseminate
prohibited advertisements. Advertising agencies such as TMP are subject to
liability under the FTC Act if the agency actively participated in creating the
advertisement, and knew or had reason to know that the advertising was false or
deceptive.
 
    In the event that any advertising created by TMP was found to be false,
deceptive or misleading, the FTC Act could potentially subject the Company to
liability. The fact that the FTC has recently brought several actions charging
deceptive advertising via the Internet, and is actively seeking new cases
involving advertising via the Internet, indicates that the FTC Act could pose a
somewhat higher risk of liability to the advertising distributed via the
Internet. The FTC has never brought any actions against the Company.
 
                                       15
<PAGE>
    As a provider of Internet content, the Company is subject to the provisions
of the recently enacted Communications Decency Act (the "CDA"), which, among
other things, imposes criminal penalties on anyone that distributes certain
prohibited material over the Internet. Although the manner in which the CDA will
be interpreted and enforced and its effect on the Company's operations cannot
yet be fully determined, the CDA could subject the Company to substantial
liability. The CDA could also dampen the growth of the Internet generally and
decrease the acceptance of the Internet as an advertising medium, and could,
therefore, have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition or operating results. It is also possible that new laws and
regulations will be adopted covering issues such as privacy, copyright
infringement, subject matter and the pricing, characteristics and quality of
Internet products and services. Application to the Internet of existing laws and
regulations governing issues such as property ownership, libel and personal
privacy is also subject to substantial uncertainty.
 
    There can be no assurance that the CDA or other current or new government
laws and regulations, or the application of existing laws and regulations will
not subject the Company to significant liabilities, significantly dampen growth
in Internet usage, prevent the Company from offering certain Internet content or
services or otherwise cause a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition or operating results.
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
   
    Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market, or the
perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing
market price of the Common Stock and the ability of the Company to raise capital
through a public offering of its equity securities. The Company, all of the
Company's executive officers and directors and certain other stockholders of the
Company, including the Selling Stockholders, have agreed that, without the prior
written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated on behalf of the
Underwriters and subject to certain limited exceptions, they will not sell any
shares of Common Stock for a period of 180 days after the date of this
Prospectus. See "Underwriters." Following this 180 day period, approximately
14,787,541 shares of Common Stock held by Andrew J. McKelvey will be eligible

right to cause the Company to include their shares in any future registration of
securities effected by the Company under the Securities Act. If the Company is
required to include in a Company-initiated registration shares held by such
holders pursuant to the exercise of their piggyback registration rights, such
sales may have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to raise needed
capital. See "Principal and Selling Stockholders" and "Shares Eligible for
Future Sale."

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
    The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 4,147,437 shares of
Common Stock offered by the Company hereby at an assumed initial public offering
price of $14.50 per share are estimated to be $54,000,000, after deducting the
estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable
by the Company. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the
652,563 shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholders hereby.
 
   
    TMP intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay a portion of
its outstanding indebtedness, which aggregated approximately $111,000,000 at
October 31, 1996. The indebtedness to be repaid and other amounts to be paid
consists of approximately: $45,000,000 of borrowings outstanding under the
Company's financing agreement; notes in the aggregate amount of $3,600,000
payable to Rogers & Associates Advertising, Inc. constituting the balance
payable to that company of the purchase price of assets of that company
(collectively, the "Rogers Note"); $3,200,000 to redeem the preferred stock of a
subsidiary, YPMS Acquisition, Inc.; and $2,200,000 to redeem the 10.5%
Cumulative Preferred Stock. See Certain Transactions" and "Description of
Capital Stock--10.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock." The Rogers Note bears interest
at 8.5% per annum. The financing agreement currently bears interest at 7.9% per
annum. The interest rate of the financing agreement is determined pursuant to a
formula whereby the interest rate is, at the Company's option, either (i) the
prime rate or 1/2% over the federal funds rate, whichever is higher, less 1% to
plus 1% as determined in the financing agreement or (ii) LIBOR plus 1 1/2% to
3 1/2% as determined under the financing agreement. The financing agreement
expires on June 27, 2001, subject to automatic renewals for 1 year periods,
thereafter. Amounts repaid under the Company's financing agreement will be
available for reborrowing under the same terms and, as a result, following this
offering the Company will have approximately $57,000,000 available for borrowing
under this facility. After this offering, the Company may borrow under this
facility to repay certain vendor financing (approximately $12,000,000 at
November 15, 1996). See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources" for a
description of the Company's capital commitments for the year ending December
31, 1996. Pending such uses, the net proceeds will be invested in short-term,
investment grade, interest-bearing securities.
    
 
                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
    TMP has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock. The
Company has paid dividends in the amount of $210,000 annually on its 10.5%
Cumulative Preferred Stock. The 10.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock will be
redeemed with a portion of the proceeds from this offering. The Company
currently anticipates that all future earnings will be retained by the Company
to support its growth strategy. Accordingly, TMP does not anticipate paying cash
dividends on the Common Stock for the foreseeable future. The payment of any
future dividends will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors
and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, operations, capital
requirements, the general financial condition of the Company, contractual
restrictions and general business conditions. The Company's financing agreement
prohibits the payment of dividends on common stock. See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-- Liquidity and
Capital Resources."

                                    DILUTION
 
   
    The historical net tangible book deficit of the Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock at September 30, 1996 was approximately $89.8 million or $4.75 per
share of outstanding Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Net tangible book
deficit per share represents total tangible assets of the Company less total
liabilities, Minority Interests, Redeemable Preferred Stock and Redeemable
Common Stock, divided by the number of shares of Common Stock and Class B Common
Stock outstanding plus 228,739 shares of Common Stock, issuable upon exercise of
the warrants granted to the BNY Financial Corporation and the 82,410 shares of
Common Stock, issuable upon exercise of the options issued to the Kidd
Stockholders, less the number of shares associated with the Redeemable Common
Stock. The pro forma net tangible book deficit as adjusted for the Acquisitions
was approximately $94.9 million or $5.02 per share. See "Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Financial Information."
    
 
   
    After including the Redeemable Common Stock which will no longer be subject
to repurchase upon consummation of this offering and after giving effect to the
receipt of the estimated net proceeds from the Company's sale of 4,147,437
shares of Common Stock at an assumed initial public offering price of $14.50 per
share (after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and
the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company), the adjusted pro forma
net tangible book deficit of the Company will be approximately $38.8 million, or
$1.66 per share of outstanding Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, at
September 30, 1996. This represents an immediate decrease in net pro forma
tangible book deficit of $3.36 per share to existing stockholders and an
immediate dilution of $16.16 per share to investors purchasing shares at the
assumed initial public offering price. The following table illustrates dilution
to new investors:

(1) Goodwill in the amount of approximately $2 million resulting from the
    issuance of 271,278 shares of common stock of the Company to Old TMP
    stockholders who had been previously issued shares of Old TMP in exchange
    for their minority interests in certain operating subsidiaries in which they
    were original owners and, accordingly, were considered to have made a
    substantive investment, and is based on an assumed initial public offering
    price of $14.50 per share (the midpoint of the range of the estimated
    initial public offering price), less $2,178 previously recorded on issuance
    of these shares, is offset by a corresponding decrease in stockholders'
    deficit, resulting in no effect on the pro forma net tangible book deficit.
 
   
   The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Common
Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders hereby and, accordingly, such
proceeds will not affect the net tangible book deficit per share after this
offering.
    
 
   
   The foregoing table assumes no exercise of outstanding employee options. At
September 30, 1996, 300,834 shares of Common Stock were subject to outstanding

options are exercised and shares are issued, there will be further dilution to
new investors. See "Management--Stock Options."

- ------------------------
 
(1) Operating results for the year ended December 31, 1992, include a
    non-recurring charge of approximately $14.1 million principally related to
    the write-off of development costs of a computerized data base system.
    Excluding this charge, operating income, net loss (net of the related tax
    effect of $5.6 million) and operating expenses as a percentage of
    commissions and fees would have been $2.2 million, $(1.9 million) and 96.3%,
    respectively.
 
   
(2) Special compensation consists of the value of shares issued in connection
    with the acquisition of a minority interest in a subsidiary in August 1996
    because the stockholder had received his shares in the subsidiary for no
    consideration and, accordingly, was not considered to have made a
    substantive investment for the minority shares. In addition, in the fourth
    quarter of fiscal 1996, the quarter in which this offering is expected to be
    completed, there will be (i) a non-recurring charge of approximately $52
    million for special management compensation resulting from the issuance of
    3,584,790 shares of Common Stock of the Company, in connection with the
    Mergers, to the Old TMP, WCI and MEI subsidiary stockholders in exchange for
    their shares in those companies which they had received for nominal or no
    consideration, as employees or as management of businesses financed
    substantially by the Principal Stockholder and, accordingly, were not
    considered to have made substantive investments for their minority shares,
    and is based on an assumed initial public offering price of $14.50 per share
    (the midpoint of the range of the estimated initial public offering price)
    and (ii) additional interest expense of approximately $2.7 million upon the
    exercise of a warrant, issued in connection with the Company's financing
    agreement, to reflect the difference between the value of the stock issued
    at the assumed initial public offering price of $14.50 per share (the
    midpoint of the range of the estimated initial public offering price) and
    the valuation recorded for the warrant when it was originally issued. The
    statement of operations for the fourth quarter of 1996 will also include a
    pro forma presentation for net income and earnings per share to exclude such
    non-recurring charges.
    
 
   
(3) Reflects the pro forma elimination of special compensation in the amount of
    $672 incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
    
 
   
(4) Represents fees earned in connection with yellow page, recruitment and other
    advertisements placed on the Internet.
    
 
   
(5) Upon consummation of this offering, the put option related to certain shares
    of Common Stock will be eliminated and such Common Stock will be
    reclassified to stockholders' equity.

             PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
   
    The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information reflects (A)
financial information with respect to the Company's (i) acquisitions in 1995 of
five companies for an aggregate purchase price of $8.9 million, (ii)
acquisitions in 1996, through November 15, of nine of the ten companies acquired
for an estimated aggregate purchase price of $19.2 million, and (iii) probable
acquisitions of two companies for an estimated aggregate purchase price of $5.5
million, and (B) is adjusted for the sale of 4,147,437 shares of Common Stock
offered hereby at an assumed initial public offering price of $14.50 (the
midpoint of the range of the estimated initial public offering price), and the
application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in "Use of Proceeds." The
acquisitions completed in 1995 and 1996, and those which are currently pending
(collectively, the "Acquisitions") have been and will be accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting. Acquisitions made prior to January 2, 1996, for
purposes of the 1996 Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations
and the 1996 Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet are reflected in the
Company's historical financial statements. The acquisitions completed in 1995
and 1996, and those which are currently pending, for which financial information
is not reflected in the "Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information"
are not material either individually or in the aggregate.
    
 
   
    The financial statements of the foreign companies acquired or deemed
probable and included in the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial
Information were translated at the following exchange rates: with respect to
Neville Jeffress, Australian dollars were converted to U.S. dollars at the rate
of .7494 and .7914, respectively, with respect to the 1995 statement of
operations and the 1996 statement of operations; Belgian francs were converted
to U.S. dollars at the rate of .0317, .0318 and .0320, respectively, with
respect to the 1995 statement of operations, the 1996 statement of operations
and the 1996 balance sheet; and British Pounds Sterling were converted to U.S.
dollars at the rate of 1.58, 1.57 and 1.54, respectively, with respect to the
1995 statement of operations, the 1996 statement of operations and the 1996
balance sheet.
    
 
   
    The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information gives effect to
the Acquisitions, are based upon estimated allocations of the expected purchase
prices, and includes all adjustments described in the notes hereto.
    
 
   
    The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were prepared
as if the above transactions and this offering occurred as of January 1, 1995.
The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was prepared as if the above
transactions and this offering occurred on September 30, 1996. The Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Financial Information should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this
Prospectus.
    
 
   
    The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year
ended December 31, 1995, and the nine months ended September 30, 1996 do not
include any potential cost savings. The Company believes that it may be able to
reduce salaries and related costs and office and general expenses as it
centralizes operations, particularly at Neville Jeffress, and consolidates these
acquisitions into TMP. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in effecting any such cost savings.
    
 
    The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information is unaudited and
is not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results which actually would
have occurred if the above transactions and this offering had been consummated
at the beginning of the periods presented, nor does it purport to present the
future financial position and results of operations for future periods.

(1) Reflects the results of operations of four companies, other than Neville
    Jeffress, that were acquired during the period January 1, 1996 through
    September 30, 1996 for the portion of 1996 prior to acquisition, and the
    results of operations for an acquisition completed after September 30, 1996
    for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The balance sheet 1996
    acquisition column includes only the company acquired after the balance
    sheet date, as if it was acquired on the balance sheet date. Acquisitions
    made prior to January 2, 1996, for purposes of the 1996 Pro Forma Condensed
    Consolidated Statement of Operations and the 1996 Pro Forma Condensed
    Consolidated Balance Sheet are reflected in the Company's historical
    financial statements.
    
 
   
(2) Gives effect for two companies, the acquisition of which the Company deems
    to be probable.
    
 
(3) Reflects the acquisitions of Neville Jeffress and other 1996 completed and
    pending acquisitions.
 
   
(4) Adjusted to give effect to (i) the sale by the Company of 4,147,437 shares
    of Common Stock at an assumed initial public offering price of $14.50 per
    share (the midpoint of the range of the estimated initial public offering
    price) and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in
    "Use of Proceeds," and (ii) goodwill in the amount of approximately $2
    million and amortization thereon resulting from the issuance of 271,278
    shares of Common Stock of the Company, in connection with the Mergers, to
    Old TMP stockholders who had been previously issued shares of Old TMP in
    exchange for their minority interests in certain operating subsidiaries in
    which they were original owners and, accordingly, were considered to have
    made a substantive investment, and is based on an assumed initial public
    offering price of $14.50 per share (the midpoint of the range of the
    estimated initial public offering price), less $2,178 previously recorded on
    issuance of these shares, as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 1996
    in the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations and as of
    September 30, 1996 in the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet.
    The pro forma as adjusted financial data for the nine months ended September
    30, 1996 does not reflect anticipated charges to fourth quarter 1996
    earnings, the quarter in which the offering is expected to be completed, for
    (i) special compensation in the amount of approximately $52 million
    resulting from the issuance of 3,584,790 shares of common stock of the
    Company, in connection with the Mergers, to the Old TMP, WCI and MEI
    subsidiary stockholders in exchange for their shares in those companies
    which they had received for nominal or no consideration, as employees or as
    management of businesses financed substantially by the Principal Stockholder
    and, accordingly, were not considered to have made substantive investments
    for their minority shares, and is based on an assumed initial public
    offering price of $14.50 per share (the midpoint of the range of the
    estimated initial public offering price) and (ii) additional interest
    expense of approximately $2.7 million upon the exercise of a warrant issued
    in connection with a financing agreement to reflect the difference between
    the value of the stock issued at the assumed initial public offering price
    of $14.50 per share (the midpoint of the range of the estimated initial
    public offering price) and the valuation recorded for the warrant when it
    was originally issued. The statement of operations for the fourth quarter of
    1996 will also include a pro forma presentation for net income and earnings
    per share to exclude such non-recurring charges.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH, AND IS QUALIFIED IN
ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO, THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE
COMPANY APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. THIS PROSPECTUS CONTAINS, IN
ADDITION TO HISTORICAL INFORMATION, FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY
FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF CERTAIN
FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE DISCUSSED BELOW AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
 
OVERVIEW
 
    TMP is a marketing services, communications and technology company that
provides comprehensive, individually tailored advertising services including
development of creative content, media planning, production and placement of
corporate advertising, market research, direct marketing and other ancillary
services and products. The Company is the world's largest yellow page
advertising agency and, the Company believes, one of the world's largest
recruitment advertising agencies. In 1995, the Company began marketing
Internet-based services as extensions of its core business and has become a
growing provider of Internet content. The Company offers advertising programs to
more than 17,000 clients, including more than 70 of the Fortune 100 and more
than 240 of the Fortune 500 companies. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the
Company's gross billings were $596.1 million, commissions and fees were $123.9
million, net income was $3.2 million and EBITDA was $25.0 million.
 
   
    A substantial part of the Company's growth has been achieved through
acquisitions. For the period January 1, 1993 through November 15, 1996, the
Company has completed 36 acquisitions with estimated annual gross billings of
approximately $380 million. Given the significant number of acquisitions in each
of the last three years, the results of operations from period to period are not
necessarily comparable.
    
 
    Gross billings refer to billings for advertising placed in telephone
directories, newspapers, new media and other media, and associated fees for
related services. While gross billings are not included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements, the trends in gross billings directly impact
the commissions and fees earned by the Company. The Company earns commissions
based on a percentage of the media advertising purchased at a rate established
by the related publisher, and associated fees for related services. Publishers
typically bill the Company for the advertising purchased by the Company's
clients and the Company in turn bills its clients for this amount. Generally,
the payment terms with yellow page clients require payment to the Company prior
to the date payment is due to publishers. The payment terms with recruitment
advertising clients typically require payment when payment is due to publishers.
Historically, the Company has not experienced substantial problems with unpaid
accounts.
 
    The Company designs and executes yellow page advertising programs, receiving
an effective commission rate from directory publishers of approximately 20% of
yellow page gross billings. In general, publishers consider orders renewed
unless actively canceled. In addition to base commissions, certain yellow pages
publishers pay increased commissions for volume placement by advertising
agencies. The Company typically recognizes this additional commission, if any,
in the fourth quarter when it is certain that such commission has been earned.
For recruitment advertising placements in the U.S., publisher commissions
average 15% of recruitment advertising gross billings. The Company also earns
fees from value-added services such as design, research and other creative and
administrative services resulting in aggregate commissions and fees equal to
approximately 21% of recruitment advertising gross billings. Outside of the
U.S., TMP's commission rates for recruitment advertising vary, ranging from
approximately 10% in Australia to 15% in Canada and the United Kingdom. Also,
outside the U.S., the Company earns fees for value-added services. The Company
also earns fees for the placement of advertisements on the Internet, including
its career Web sites.
 
                                       29

    In 1993, the Company completed three acquisitions for an aggregate purchase
price of $8.7 million, including the purchase of the assets of US West Marketing
Resources Group, Inc., a yellow page advertising agency. Leveraging its strength
in yellow page advertising, the Company entered recruitment advertising in the
fourth quarter of 1993 with the purchases of the assets of Bentley, Barnes &
Lynn, Inc. and Unger & Associates, Inc. Bentley, Barnes & Lynn was one of the
largest recruitment advertising agencies in the midwest and developer of
Empower, a human resources public relations service, focusing on minority
recruitment issues.
    
 
    In 1994, the Company completed nine acquisitions for an aggregate purchase
price of $12.2 million. Six of these acquisitions were in the business of
recruitment advertising and included Deutsch, Shea & Evans, Inc., an agency
based in New York, the second largest U.S. recruitment market. Two acquisitions
were yellow page advertising companies of which the largest was the yellow page
advertising agency business of GTE Directories Corporation, a Dallas-based
agency specializing in serving general agencies which do not have their own
yellow page placement capabilities. The Company also acquired a 50% interest in
a real estate advertising company which is accounted for on the equity method.
 
    In 1995, the Company completed fourteen acquisitions for an aggregate
purchase price of $26.7 million. These acquisitions consisted of eleven
recruitment advertising agencies, Adion Information Services, Inc., creator of
The Monster Board-Registered Trademark-, and two small yellow page agencies. The
largest acquisitions included acquisitions of the assets of Rogers & Associates
Advertising, Inc., Adion, Inc. (an affiliate of Adion Information Services,
Inc.), and The Haughey Group, Inc. Rogers & Associates was based in Northern
California, the largest U.S. recruitment advertising market. Adion Inc. and The
Haughey Group, Inc. were based in Boston.
 
   
    In 1996, through November 15, the Company has completed ten acquisitions,
all of which are in recruitment advertising, for an aggregate purchase price of
$19.4 million, making the Company one of the largest recruitment advertising
agencies in the world. These acquisitions have estimated annual gross billings
of $180 million. The largest acquisition was the purchase of Neville Jeffress,
which has estimated annual gross billings of $140 million. The Company also
purchased London-based Optima Direct Limited.
    
 
   
    Primarily as a result of these acquisitions, the Company's commissions and
fees increased from $73.8 million in 1993 to $123.9 million in 1995. Assuming
that all of the acquisitions completed from January 1, 1995 through November 15,
1996 had been completed on January 1, 1995, the Company's commissions and fees,
on a pro forma basis, would have been approximately $159.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 1995. These acquisitions were funded primarily with debt
resulting in an increase in interest expense from approximately $7.9 million in
1993 to $11.2 million in 1995 and $13.7 million on a pro forma basis for 1995
for acquisitions completed in 1995 and in 1996, through November 15. All of
these acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
and are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from their
respective dates of acquisition. The Company is continuously monitoring the
marketplace for opportunities to expand its presence in both yellow page and
recruitment advertising which include Internet-related opportunities and intends
to continue its acquisition strategy to supplement its internal growth.
    
 
    The Company's operating expenses have increased significantly since 1993
primarily due to headcount increases as a result of acquisitions and hiring to
support gross billings growth. Salaries and related costs increased $20.6
million from $37.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1993 to $58.3 million
for the year ended December 31, 1995, a 54.6% increase, supporting a 72.7% gross
billings increase over the same period. Salaries and related costs include total
payroll and associated benefits as well as payroll taxes, sales commissions,
recruitment and training costs.
 
    Office and general expenses increased $13.6 million from $29.8 million for
the year ended December 31, 1993 to $43.4 million for the year ended December
31, 1995, a 45.6% increase, primarily due to increased costs needed to support
the increased billings and the expansion of recruitment offices through
acquisitions in new U.S and foreign markets. This cost category includes
expenses for office
 
                                       30
<PAGE>
operations, business promotion, market research, advertising, professional fees
and fees paid to the Company's primary lending institution for its services in
the processing and collection of payments for accounts receivable. Amortization
of intangibles includes amortization of acquisition related charges, including
the costs in excess of fair market value of net assets acquired and capitalized
costs for non-compete arrangements with the principals of acquired companies.
This acquisition related amortization was $2.5 million, $3.3 million and $3.2
million for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
    Net interest expense includes interest payments made to the Company's
primary lender, to certain vendors and to the holders of seller financed notes.
 
   
    During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the quarter in which this offering
is expected to be completed, there will be: (i) a non-recurring charge of
approximately $52.0 million for special management compensation resulting from
the issuance of 3,584,790 shares of Common Stock of the Company, in connection
with the Mergers, to the Old TMP, WCI and MEI subsidiary stockholders in
exchange for their shares in those companies which they had received for nominal
or no consideration, as employees or as management of businesses financed
substantially by the Principal Stockholder and, accordingly, were not considered
to have made substantive investments for their minority shares, and is based on
an assumed initial public offering price of $14.50 per share (the midpoint of
the range of the estimated initial public offering price) and (ii) additional
interest expense of approximately $2.7 million upon the exercise of a warrant,
issued to BNY Financial Corporation in connection with the Company's financing
agreement, to reflect the difference between the value of the stock issued at

shares, was issued in October 1993 and is exercisable upon the effectiveness of
this offering. The statement of operations for such quarter will also include a
pro forma presentation for net income and earnings per share to exclude such

(1) Special compensation consists of the value of shares issued in connection

THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
  SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
    
 
   
    Gross billings for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $572.8
million, a $119.7 million or 26.4% increase compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. More than half of this growth was attributable to
acquisitions.
    
 
   
    Commissions and fees increased from $89.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to $118.9 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, or 32.5%. This increase was due to an increase of $17.7 million or 69.1%
in commissions and fees derived from recruitment advertising, $7.1 million or
11.1% in commissions and fees derived from yellow page advertising and $4.4
million in fees derived from Internet. A substantial portion of the increase in
commissions and fees derived from recruitment advertising was due to
acquisitions and the remainder was due to higher client spending and new
clients. The increase in commissions and fees derived from yellow page
advertising was due primarily to increased rates by the yellow page publishers
and higher client spending on new services. Fees derived from Internet were
generated from placements of internet advertising, as the Company's Internet
products gained initial customer acceptance both from the Company's existing
clients as well as new clients.
    
 
   
    Salaries and related costs increased $17.7 million to $60.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. As a percent of commissions and fees,
salaries and related costs increased from 48.2% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to 51.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This
increase was primarily due to additional staff required to service increased
gross billings, a higher percentage for costs related to Neville Jeffress and
severance and temporary help expenses related to the consolidation of the
recruitment advertising acquisitions ($0.8 million). Also included in the $17.7
million increase is $1.9 million for Internet staffing, which is 43.9% of
Internet commissions and fees.
    
 
   
    Office and general expenses increased $11.5 million to $44.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. As a percent of commissions and fees,
office and general expenses increased from 36.4% for the period ended September
30, 1995 to 37.1% for the nine months ended September 1996. This increase was
primarily due to increased advertising of approximately $2.3 million, primarily
related to the Company's introduction of The Monster
Board-Registered Trademark-, increased bad debt charges ($0.5 million to
increase specific reserves to $1.0 million for a 1995 bankruptcy and a $0.3
million charge related to a client with liquidity problems), general expenses
related to higher gross billings, professional consulting fees for the
establishment of Internet services and airplane related travel costs.
    
 
   
    Amortization of intangibles was $2.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 compared to $3.2 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 due to the Company's continued growth through acquisitions. As a
percentage of commissions and fees, amortization of intangibles was 2.5% and
2.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
    
 
   
    Special compensation of $0.7 million consists of the value of shares issued
in connection with the acquisition of a minority interest in a subsidiary in
August 1996 because the stockholder had received his shares in the subsidiary
for no consideration and, accordingly, was not considered to have made a
substantive investment for the minority shares.
    
 
   
    Operating income declined $1.5 million to $10.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996. The decline was primarily due to increased advertising
expenses of $1.5 million for the Company's Internet business. Excluding the fees
earned and direct operating expenses related to the Company's introduction of
its Internet business of $1.8 million for 1996 and $.8 million for 1995, and the
1996 $0.7 million special charge for compensation, (i) operating income
increased approximately $1.0 million to $12.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. However, operating income as a percent of commissions and
fees declined from 13.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to 10.5%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This decline in operating income
as a percent of commissions and fees was primarily due to costs in connection
with the consolidation of the recruitment advertising acquisitions and the
increased bad debt charge described above.
    
 
                                       34
<PAGE>
   
    Net interest expense increased $0.7 million to $8.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 1995. This increase in interest
expense is due primarily to higher debt balances for working capital needs and
acquisition financing partially offset by lower borrowing costs. The Company's
effective interest rate was 9.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
compared with 11.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
    
 
   
    Taxes on income decreased $0.6 million from $2.3 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 primarily due to lower pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 of 117.7% was higher than the U.S. Federal
statutory rate primarily due to nondeductible expenses of approximately $2.0
million and approximately $.8 million in losses for which there are no available
tax benefits.
    
 
   
    On a pro forma basis, to adjust for the special charge for compensation, the
net loss applicable to common and Class B common stockholders was $25,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared with net income of $0.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, as a result of the above.
    
 
THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
    Gross billings for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $596.1 million, a
$177.5 million or 42.4% increase over the year ended December 31, 1994.
Approximately half of this increase was attributable to acquisitions.
 
    Commissions and fees increased from $86.2 million in 1994 to $123.9 million
in 1995 or 43.7%. This increase was due to an increase of $24.4 million or
208.1% in commissions and fees derived from recruitment advertising and $13.0
million or 17.4% in commissions and fees derived from yellow page advertising.
The increase in commissions and fees derived from recruitment advertising was
substantially due to acquisitions and, to a lesser extent, new business and
higher client spending spurred by high demand for labor in the U.S. The increase
in commissions and fees derived from yellow page advertising was primarily due
to higher client spending and acquisitions. Commissions for volume placements
from yellow page publishers increased $2.1 million to $4.2 million in 1995
largely due to a new sales program for yellow page employees to increase yellow
page advertising volumes.
 
    Salaries and related costs increased $12.6 million to $58.3 million in 1995.
As a percent of commissions and fees, salaries and related costs declined from
53.1% in 1994 to 47.1% in 1995 primarily due to increased staffing efficiencies
related to the leveraging of management and support services over a larger
client base.
 
    Office and general expenses increased $13.1 million to $43.4 million in
1995. As a percent of commissions and fees, office and general expenses remained
consistent at 35.0%. Bad debt expenses increased $2.0 million in 1995 compared
to 1994 due to an increase in general reserves as a result of the Company's
expanding client base and a specific reserve of $0.5 million for a client
bankruptcy.
 
    Amortization of intangibles was $3.2 million in 1995 compared to $3.3
million in 1994. As a percentage of commissions and fees, amortization of
intangibles was 2.6% in 1995 and 3.8% in 1994 as a result of higher commissions
and fees.
 
    Operating income increased $12.1 million to $18.9 million in 1995. As a
percent of commissions and fees, operating income increased from 7.9% in 1994 to
15.3% in 1995 due to higher commissions and fees and improved staffing
efficiencies and utilization levels.
 
    Net interest expense increased $1.7 million to $10.9 million in 1995. The
increase in net interest expense is due primarily to higher debt balances for
working capital needs and acquisition financing. The Company's effective
interest rate was 11.2% and 11.1% in 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
                                       35
<PAGE>
    Taxes on income increased $4.6 million in 1995 to an expense of $4.2 million
from a recovery of $0.3 million in 1994, primarily due to pre-tax income. The
effective tax rate for 1995 of 51.7% was greater than the U.S. federal statutory
rate primarily due to nondeductible expenses of approximately $1.2 million and
losses for which there were no available tax benefits of $1.5 million.
 
    Net income applicable to common and Class B common stockholders was $3.0
million for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to a $2.7 million net loss
for the year ended December 31, 1994, as a result of the above.
 
THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
 
    Gross billings for the year ended December 31, 1994 were $418.5 million, a
$73.5 million increase from the year ended December 31, 1993. Acquisitions
accounted for a substantial portion of billings growth.
 
    Commissions and fees increased from $73.8 million in 1993 to $86.2 million
in 1994 or 16.8%. This increase was due to an increase of $10.0 million in
commissions and fees derived from recruitment advertising and $2.4 million in
commissions and fees derived from yellow page advertising. The increase in
commissions and fees derived from recruitment advertising and yellow page
advertising was primarily due to acquisitions. The increase in commissions and
fees derived from yellow page advertising was also due to increased rates and
increased client spending.
 
    Salaries and related costs increased $8.0 million to $45.8 million in 1994.
As a percent of commissions and fees, salaries and related costs increased from
51.2% in 1993 to 53.1% in 1994 due primarily to higher salaries related to
additional staffing levels associated with acquisitions.
 
    Office and general expenses increased $.5 million to $30.3 million in 1994.
As a percent of commissions and fees, office and general expenses declined from
40.4% in 1993 to 35.2% in 1994, due to lower administrative costs and increased
operating efficiencies resulting from the integration of six acquisitions into
existing TMP locations. In 1993, operating expenses included a restructuring
charge of $1.3 million for compensation related to the centralization of certain
support functions.
 
    Amortization of intangibles was $3.3 million in 1994, compared to $2.5
million in 1993. As a percentage of commissions and fees, amortization of
intangibles was 3.8% in 1994 compared to 3.3% in 1993.
 
    Operating income increased from $2.4 million in 1993 to $6.8 million in 1994
due primarily to growth in commissions and fees and increased operating
efficiency partially offset by higher salaries and related costs and
amortization of intangibles.
 
    Net interest expense increased $1.5 million to $9.2 million in 1994. The
increase in net interest expense is primarily due to higher debt balances for
working capital needs and acquisition financing. The Company's effective
interest rate was 13.3% and 11.2% in 1993 and 1994, respectively.
 
    The income tax benefit decreased $1.0 million in 1994 from a recovery of
$1.3 million in 1993, due to a smaller pre-tax loss. The effective tax benefit
rates for 1994 and 1993 were lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate
primarily due to nondeductible expenses of approximately $1.4 million and $1.0
million, respectively, and for 1993 losses for which there are no available tax
benefits of $0.9 million.
 
    Net loss applicable to common and Class B common stockholders was $4.8
million in 1993 and $2.7 million in 1994 as a result of the above.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    The Company's principal capital requirements have been to fund (i)
acquisitions, (ii) working capital, (iii) capital expenditures and (iv)
advertising and development of its Internet business. The Company's
 
                                       36
<PAGE>
working capital requirements are generally higher in the quarters ending March
31 and June 30 during which payments to the major yellow page directory
publishers are at their highest levels. The Company has met its liquidity needs
over the last three years through funds provided by long-term borrowings, vendor
financing and supplemented in 1995 by funds provided by operating activities.
 
   
    Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1994, 1995, and the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was
($2.3 million), ($10.9 million), $6.7 million and $14.1 million, respectively.
Cash used increased in 1994 as compared with 1993 primarily due to the
acceleration of payment of trade payables to publishers over the rate of
collection of receivables. The increase in cash from operating activities for
1995 over 1994 was primarily due to the $5.7 million improvement in net income
combined with a net increase of trade payables over trade receivables of $7.0
million. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, cash provided by
operations increased $18.2 million over the comparable 1995 period primarily as
a result of a $10.5 million reduction in the increase in accounts receivable
combined with a $12.0 million rise in the increase of accounts payable and
accrued liabilities.
    
 
   
    Days sales outstanding in 1994, 1995 and for the first nine months of 1996
were 66, 63 and 62, respectively, reflecting improvement in the Company's
collection procedures and client billing arrangements.
    
 
   
    Net cash used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 1993,
1994, 1995 and the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $4.3 million, $12.2
million, $13.8 million and $21.0 million, respectively. Payments for purchases
of business acquisitions were $1.0 million in 1993, $6.3 million in 1994, $11.3
million in 1995, and $16.6 million for the nine months ending September 30,
1996. Capital expenditures, primarily for computer equipment and furniture and
fixtures, were $0.5 million, $4.9 million, $5.0 million and $4.3 million for the
years ended December 31, 1993, 1994, 1995, and the nine months ended September
30, 1996, respectively. The Company expects to spend approximately $7.0 million
in total capital expenditures for 1996. In May 1996, the Company sold certain
transportation equipment for $3.3 million in cash, $1.2 million after payment of
related debt.
    
 
   
    EBITDA was unchanged at $15.6 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Excluding fees
earned and direct operating expenses related to the Company's introduction of
its Internet business, EBITDA increased $0.3 million to $17.1 million or 1.8%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. Further adjusting for items related to increased bad debt
charges for two client bankruptcies ($.5 million) and expenses associated with
the consolidation of the recruitment advertising acquisitions ($.8 million),
EBITDA increased $1.6 million to $18.4 million or 12.2% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
Excluding the Company's Internet business and the non-recurring bad debt charges
described above, EBITDA as a percent of commissions and fees remained consistent
at 19.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 19.5% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. EBITDA increased $12.4 million to $25.0 million
or 98.5% in 1995 as compared to 1994. As a percent of commissions and fees,
EBITDA increased from 14.6% in 1994 to 20.2% in 1995 primarily due to increased
staffing efficiencies and utilization levels. EBITDA increased $6.3 million to
$12.6 million in 1994 compared to 1993. Adjusting for the non-recurring charge
of $1.3 million in 1993, EBITDA as a percent of commissions and fees increased
from 10.4% in 1993 to 14.6% in 1994.
    
 
   
    The Company's financing activities include borrowings and repayments under
its financing agreement and issuance and repayments of installment notes
principally to finance acquisitions and loans to stockholders. The Company's
financing activities resulted in net cash provided by financing activities of
$10.5 million, $7.4 million, $23.0 million and $4.4 million in 1996, 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively. In June and August 1996, the Company amended its
financing agreement with BNY Financial Corporation to provide for borrowings up
to $100 million under a revolving credit facility. Such facility has been used
to finance the Company's acquisitions and for working capital requirements. As
of September 30, 1996, there
    
 
                                       37
<PAGE>
   
was $90.9 million outstanding under such facility. As of October 31, 1996, there
was approximately $88.0 million outstanding under such facility. The Company
believes it will be able to fund its short-term cash needs through funds from
operations and a refinancing of a portion of the Neville Jeffress acquisition
financing with a working capital facility in Australia. The Company intends to
use approximately $45.0 million of the net proceeds from this offering to reduce
indebtedness under the financing agreement. See "Use of Proceeds." After giving
effect to this offering and the use of the estimated net proceeds thereof, as of
October 31, 1996 pro forma amounts outstanding under the financing agreement
would have been approximately $43.0 million. The financing agreement terminates
on June 27, 2001 and currently bears interest at 7.9% per annum. The interest
rate of the financing agreement is determined pursuant to a formula whereby the
interest rate is, at the Company's option, either (i) the prime rate or 1/2%
over the federal funds rate, whichever is higher, less 1% to plus 1% as
determined in the financing agreement or (ii) LIBOR plus 1 1/2% to 3 1/2% as
determined under the financing agreement. The borrowings are secured by a lien
on substantially all of the Company's assets. In addition, the financing
agreement contains certain covenants which restrict, among other things, the
ability of the Company to borrow, pay dividends, acquire businesses, make future
capital expenditures, guarantee debts of others and lend funds to affiliated
companies and contain criteria on the maintenance of certain financial statement
amounts and ratios. At December 31, 1995, the Company was in violation of
certain of the covenants and financial ratios under a prior financing agreement,
such violations were waived by BNY Financial Corporation. The covenants and/or
ratios which were violated consisted of (i) the limit on capital expenditures,
(ii) the ratio of current assets to current liabilities, (iii) the limit of
negative working capital, (iv) the limit of advances to affiliates, (v) the
permitted percentage of past due accounts payable, (vi) the timely delivery of
audited financial statements and (vii) the use of corporate guarantees. To
accommodate the Company's growth strategy, the financing agreement, including
the covenants and financial ratios, was amended in August 1996. As of September
30, 1996, the Company was in compliance with all of the required covenants and
ratios under the financing agreement.
    
 
   
    Part of the Company's acquisition strategy is to pay, over time, a portion
of the purchase price of such acquisitions through seller financed notes.
Accordingly, such notes are included in long term debt and the current portion
of long term debt. These notes are generally payable over five years and totaled
$14.8 million at September 30, 1996. The Company will repay approximately $4.0
million of these notes with a portion of the proceeds of this offering.
    
 
   
    The Company made net advances of $3.2 million, $3.7 million and $3.0 million
to its principal stockholder in 1993, 1994 and the nine months ended September
30, 1996 and received payments of $1.7 million from such stockholder in 1995. As
of September 30, 1996, the Company has a receivable from its principal
stockholder in the amount of $9.5 million. These advances do not currently bear
interest. Upon consummation of this offering, Andrew J. McKelvey will convert
all of his indebtedness to the Company to a promissory note. Such promissory
note will initially bear interest at the prime rate established by The Bank of
New York at the date of the note and shall be adjusted December 31, 1997 and
each December 31st thereafter to the Bank of New York prime rate in effect on
such dates. The Note will provide for annual payments of all accrued but unpaid
interest commencing December 31, 1997. The principal amount shall be payable in
equal annual installments of one-sixtieth of the initial principal amount
commencing December 31, 1997, with all unpaid principal due ten years from the
date of the note.
    
 
    The Company has an obligation for annual dividend payments of 10.5% on its
$2.0 million of redeemable preferred stock. In addition, the Company has an
obligation for annual dividend payments, included in minority interests, of
10.0% on approximately $3.0 million of preferred shares of a subsidiary (YPMS
Acquisition, Inc.) held by an employee stock ownership trust. The Company
intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to redeem both
the redeemable preferred stock and the subsidiary's preferred stock. See "Use of
Proceeds."
 
    The Company intends to continue its acquisition strategy and promotion of
its internet activities through the use of operating profits, borrowings against
its long-term debt facility and seller financed
 
                                       38
<PAGE>
notes. The Company believes that its anticipated cash flow from operations, as
well as the availability of funds under its existing financing agreement and the
net proceeds of this offering, will provide it with liquidity to meet its
current foreseeable cash needs for at least the next year.
 
QUARTERLY RESULTS
 
    The following table presents unaudited interim operating results of the
Company. The Company believes that the following information includes all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company
considers necessary for a fair presentation, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principals. The operating results for any interim period are
not necessarily indicative of results for any other period.
 
   
    The Company's quarterly commissions and fees are affected by the timing of
yellow page directory closings which currently have a concentration in the third
quarter. Yellow page publishers may change the timing of directory publications
which may have an effect on the Company's quarterly results. The Company's
yellow page advertising results are also affected by commissions earned for
volume placements for the year, which are typically reported in the fourth
quarter. The Company's quarterly commissions and fees for recruitment
advertising are typically highest in the first quarter and lowest in the fourth
quarter; however, the cyclicality in the economy and the Company's clients'
employment needs have an overriding impact on the Company's quarterly results in
recruitment advertising. Moreover, the Company's recruitment advertising
acquisition activity has had more of an impact on the Company's recently
reported quarterly results than any other factors.

                                    BUSINESS
 
   
    The Company is a marketing services, communications and technology company
that provides comprehensive, individually tailored advertising services
including development of creative content, media planning, production and
placement of corporate advertising, market research, direct marketing and other
ancillary services and products. The Company is the world's largest yellow page
advertising agency and, the Company believes, one of the world's largest
recruitment advertising agencies. In 1995, the Company began marketing
Internet-based services as extensions of its core businesses and has become a
growing provider of Internet content. The Company offers advertising programs to
more than 17,000 clients, including more than 70 of the Fortune 100 and more
than 240 of the Fortune 500 companies. The Company's growth strategy is to
continue to actively pursue consolidation opportunities in its core advertising
businesses and to leverage its client base and its approximately 1,500 sales,
marketing and customer service personnel to expand its Internet-based
businesses. Except for the acquisition of three small recruitment advertising
agencies, the Company has no current plans for any additional acquisitions. See
"Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information." For the year ended
December 31, 1995, the Company's gross billings were $596.1 million, commissions
and fees were $123.9 million, net income was $3.2 million and EBITDA was $25.0
million.
    
 
   
    TMP is the world's largest yellow page advertising agency, generating
approximately $425 million in gross billings for the year ended December 31,
1995. TMP believes it is one of the world's largest recruitment advertising
agencies, generating approximately $165 million in gross billings for the same
period. With approximately 30% of the national accounts segment of the U.S.
yellow page advertising market, TMP is approximately three times larger than its
nearest competitor, based on gross billings. In the fragmented recruitment
advertising agency market, the Company believes that it has a 7% market share in
the U.S. and a 6% market share worldwide. A substantial part of the Company's
growth has been achieved through acquisitions. From January 1, 1993 through
December 31, 1995, TMP completed 26 acquisitions which have estimated annual
gross billings of $200 million. In 1996, through November 15, the Company
completed ten acquisitions with estimated annual gross billings of $180 million
including the acquisition in July 1996, of Neville Jeffress, one of the largest
recruitment advertising agencies in Australia, which has estimated annual gross
billings of $140 million. The Company believes additional acquisition
opportunities exist, particularly in the recruitment advertising and Internet
markets and intends to continue its strategy of making acquisitions which relate
to its core business.
    
 
    TMP has created innovative solutions to assist its clients in capitalizing
on the growing awareness and acceptance of the Internet. For its recruitment
advertising clients, TMP has developed interactive career hubs which can be
accessed by individuals seeking employment via the Internet on a global basis.
The Company has several career hubs, including The Monster
Board-Registered Trademark-, Online Career Center-SM-, Be the Boss-SM- and
MedSearch-SM-, which collectively contain over 35,000 job listings. In 1996, the
Company began marketing its Dealer Locator service to yellow page clients.
Dealer Locator provides clients with the ability to create Web pages for their
local offices, franchisees or dealers. Potential customers can then access these

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
 
    THE YELLOW PAGE ADVERTISING MARKET.  Yellow page directories have been
published in the U.S. since at least the 1890s and, traditionally, have been
published almost exclusively by telephone utilities. In the early 1980's, due in
part to telephone deregulation, independent companies began publishing an
increasing number of directories. Currently, approximately 7,000 yellow page
directories are published annually by 200 publishers and, in the U.S., many
cities with populations in excess of 80,000 are served by multiple directories.
The percentage of adults who use the yellow pages has remained relatively
constant over the last ten years at over 56%, and such readers consult the
yellow pages approximately two times weekly. Accordingly, yellow page
directories continue to be a highly effective advertising medium. For example,
the
 
                                       41
<PAGE>
Company believes that approximately 70% of Ryder's consumer truck rental
customers consulted yellow page directories prior to renting trucks.
 
    For the year ended December 31, 1995, total spending on yellow page
advertisements in the U.S. was $9.9 billion. Of this amount, approximately $8.5
billion was spent by local accounts and approximately $1.4 billion was spent by
national accounts. "Local" and "national," as those terms are used in the yellow
page industry, refer to whether an advertisement is solicited by a yellow page
publisher's own sales staff or is placed by an advertising agency and meets
certain criteria specified by the publisher. Local accounts are typically
merchants who primarily conduct their business within the geographic area served
by the publisher's directories.
 
    The national account market consists of companies which sell products or
services in multiple markets and is the market in which TMP competes. Most
national accounts use independent advertising agencies to design and implement
their yellow page advertising programs to create a consistent brand image and
compelling message, to develop an effective media plan and to execute the
placement of the advertising at the local level. Agencies which place national
yellow page advertising are paid commissions by yellow page publishers. The
market has grown each year since 1981. During the period of 1990 through 1995,
the market grew at a compound average rate of approximately 4.5%.
 
    THE RECRUITMENT ADVERTISING MARKET.  Recruitment advertising consists
primarily of creating and placing recruitment advertisements in the classified
advertising sections of newspapers. While the recruitment advertising market has
historically been cyclical, during the period of 1990 through 1995, the U.S.
market grew at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 11.5%. Classified
readership by job seekers has remained constant over the last ten years and 88%
of companies use newspapers to attract potential employees. The services
provided by recruitment advertising agencies can be complex and range from the
design and placement of classified advertisements to the creation of
comprehensive image campaigns which "brand" a client as a quality employer.
Further, shortages of qualified employees in many industries, particularly in
the technology area, have increased the need for recruitment advertising
agencies to expand the breadth of their service offerings to effect national and
sometimes global recruitment campaigns. For the year ended December 31, 1995,
total spending on advertisements in North America in the recruitment classified
advertisement section of newspapers was approximately $4.5 billion. Agencies
which place recruitment advertising are paid commissions generally equal to 15%
of recruitment advertising gross billings.
 
    INTERNET.  The Internet has rapidly grown from a network connecting a
limited number of government, research and educational institutions to a global
medium accessed by millions of users to communicate and exchange information.
Growth in the Internet has been fueled by an increasing usage of personal
computers at home and in the workplace, improvements in the performance and
speed of personal computers and modems, improvements in network infrastructure,
enhanced ease of access to the Internet provided by service providers,
consumer-oriented on-line services and long-distance telephone companies,
emergence of standards for Internet navigation and information access, declining
costs of Internet service due to increased competition among access providers
and increased awareness of the Internet among businesses and consumers. Growth
in Internet usage by non-technical users in particular has also been fueled by
the emergence of the Web which makes use of browser technology and simplifies
the retrieval and transmission of information.
 
    As the Internet has become more accessible, functional and widely used by
consumers and businesses, its commercial potential has grown. The Internet is
emerging as a medium through which businesses can interactively inform, educate,
entertain and conduct business with millions of individuals. Thousands of
companies have created corporate Web sites that feature information about their
product offerings and advertise employment opportunities. Through the Web,
Internet content providers are able to deliver
 
                                       42
<PAGE>
timely, personalized content in a manner not possible through traditional media.
Internet content can be continuously updated, and accessed by users at any time.
 
STRATEGY
 
    Key elements of the Company's strategy are to:
 
   
    CONTINUE TO GROW THE COMPANY'S RECRUITMENT AND YELLOW PAGE BUSINESSES.  The
Company plans to continue to grow and enhance its recruitment and yellow page
advertising businesses through acquisitions and internal growth. From January 1,
1993 to November 15, 1996, the Company completed 36 acquisitions, with estimated
annual gross billings of $380 million. The Company intends to actively pursue
additional acquisitions and believes that the fragmented nature of the
recruitment advertising business, with no one agency representing more than 6%
of annual gross billings on a worldwide basis, provides the Company with the
opportunity to be a leader in the consolidation of this industry. The Company
also intends to selectively pursue acquisitions in the yellow page advertising
business. In addition to acquisitions, the Company intends to expand its
billings base with existing clients and by attracting new clients by leveraging
its size, resources and Internet product offerings. The Company has a dedicated
new business sales staff which focuses on adding new clients which to date in
1996, has added 122 new clients with estimated annual gross billings of
approximately $45 million.
    
 
    EXPAND SERVICES TO THE INTERNET BY CAPITALIZING ON TMP'S RECRUITMENT
ADVERTISING AND YELLOW PAGE ADVERTISING BUSINESSES.  The Company believes the
Internet is a powerful communications medium which can be heavily utilized by
its yellow page and recruitment advertising clients in attracting more customers
and qualified prospective employees, respectively. TMP intends to capitalize on
this opportunity by rapidly expanding, marketing and implementing its Internet
service offerings. The Company believes it is at the forefront in acquiring and
designing products to meet the needs of its client base. Since 1995, TMP has
acquired three recruitment oriented Web site companies including Adion
Information Services Inc., the creator of The Monster
Board-Registered Trademark-, Online Career Center, L.P. and MedSearch America,
Inc. In addition, during this time, the Company created Dealer Locator, a
product for yellow page clients, and modified Dealer Locator technology to
create Physician Finder, a database designed to provide information regarding
board certified physicians. The Company is designing and developing additional
Internet products and intends to opportunistically acquire Internet content
providers related to its core businesses. TMP also believes that its more than
1,500 person sales, marketing and customer service staff, and extensive base of
existing clients, provide it with a significant competitive advantage in
identifying, implementing and selling new Internet products to yellow page and
recruitment advertisers.
 
    DIFFERENTIATE INTERNET PRODUCT OFFERINGS.  The Company believes it is
important to differentiate its Internet service offerings. TMP intends to do
this by leveraging its experience in yellow page and recruitment advertising to
design and develop the most effective and frequently accessed products, by
branding its products through the use of traditional advertising mediums, by
tailoring its services to specific geographic markets, and by continually adding
incremental value-added features to its services thereby increasing their
utility to the Company's client base. The Company has begun implementing this
strategy most notably with The Monster Board-Registered Trademark- which has
been tailored to individual countries around the world, focusing on local
customs and terminology. Customized versions of The Monster
Board-Registered Trademark- currently exist in the U.S., Canada, the United
Kingdom and Australia. The Monster Board-Registered Trademark- is also tailored
for specific user groups. For example, The Monster Board-Registered Trademark-'s
Roar community targets college students and entry level job seekers.
 
TMP'S YELLOW PAGE BUSINESS
 
    TMP entered the yellow page business in 1967 and has grown to become the
largest yellow page advertising agency both in the world and in the U.S. based
on gross billings. For the year ended
 
                                       43
<PAGE>
December 31, 1995, the Company had worldwide yellow page gross billings of
approximately $425 million. With approximately 30% of the U.S. national yellow
page market, TMP is approximately three times larger than its nearest
competitor, based on gross billings. The Company's growth in yellow pages has
been driven in part by acquisitions. Since January 1, 1993, TMP has completed
five acquisitions and intends to continue to pursue acquisitions as a part of
its overall growth strategy.
 
    CREATING AND PLACING YELLOW PAGE ADVERTISEMENTS.  There are currently
approximately 7,000 yellow page directories in the U.S. Each has a separate
closing date for accepting advertisements and one or more of these closings
occur on every working day of the year. The steps involved in placing an
advertisement are numerous and can take as long as nine months.
 
    The first step in the process is the formulation of the advertising
program's creative elements including illustrations, advertising copy, slogans
and other elements which are designed to attract a potential customer's
attention. To assess the effectiveness of a proposed campaign, TMP generally
undertakes extensive research to determine which alternatives best reach the
client's target market. This research typically includes focus group testing and
the running of split-run advertisements. Focus group testing involves forming
groups of potential customers and gauging their reaction to a variety of
potential advertisements. Split-run testing measures the results of specific
campaigns by placing more than one version of an advertisement in various
editions of the same yellow page directory. By using multiple phone numbers and
various monitoring methods, the Company can then determine which advertisements
generate the most effective response.
 
    After designing an advertising program, TMP creates a media plan which
cost-effectively reaches the client's customer base. The Company analyzes
targeted directories to determine circulation, rate of usage and demographic
profile. It then recommends advertisements ranging from a full page to as little
as a one line listing. For some of the Company's larger yellow page clients,
advertisements are placed in over 2,000 directories.
 
    To ensure client satisfaction, TMP maintains an extensive quality control
program. Account teams have frequent in-person client contact as well as formal
annual creative reviews. The Company also solicits feedback through client
interviews, written surveys and other methods consisting of focus groups made up
of yellow page users and yellow page user pollings. The principal aims of this
program are client retention and sales growth. TMP believes that its focus on
customer service has enabled it to increase its client retention rate from 90%
in 1991 to 96% in 1995, and to increase billings to existing clients by 7% for
the year ended December 31, 1995, as compared to the year ended December 31,
1994.
 
    In addition to traditional advertising, the Company offers selected yellow
page clients a variety of value-added services ranging from managing the
maintenance and installation of telephone lines for branch locations to the
staffing and operation of fulfillment centers which respond to toll-free calls
requesting product brochures and other information. While beyond the typical
scope of services provided by an advertising agency, these ancillary services
are designed to further integrate TMP into client processes for the mutual
benefit of both parties.
 
   
    TMP earns commissions from yellow page advertising paid by directory
publishers, which results in an effective commission rate to the Company of
approximately 20% of yellow page gross billings.
    
 
    CLIENTS.  TMP has over 2,100 yellow page clients, virtually all of whom
determine the content of their advertising programs on a centralized basis.
Placement of the advertising, however, requires an extensive local selling and
quality control effort because many of TMP's clients are franchisors or
manufacturers who are dependent upon franchisees or independent dealers for
distribution. The participation of franchisees and dealers in the yellow page
program is discretionary and must be solicited at the local level. As an example
of the scale of this task, TMP visited approximately 80% of the over 1,800 Midas
shops owned by over 600 franchisees while executing the 1995 Midas yellow page
program.
 
                                       44
<PAGE>
    To implement this local effort, TMP has a yellow page sales, marketing and
customer service staff of approximately 680 people. The Company believes the
size and breadth of this staff, its local client relationships and its databases
of client branch locations, franchisees, and dealers provide it with a strong
competitive advantage in executing the yellow page programs of existing clients.
TMP believes these resources are critical in marketing its services to potential
new clients and in marketing and executing its new Internet-based service
offerings.
 
    The following are some of TMP's larger yellow page accounts:

    INTERNET-BASED SOLUTIONS FOR YELLOW PAGE ADVERTISING CLIENTS.  To complement
the broad reach and penetration of yellow page advertising, the Company has
recently begun to offer its clients an Internet-based solution called Dealer
Locator. In creating a Dealer Locator program, the Company typically creates a
home page for each franchise or dealer location and links it to the client's
corporate Web site. Internet users can then retrieve information on a specific
location such as directions to, or a map of, such location, hours of operation
and potentially other information such as sale items and other special offers.
Dealer Locator is designed to provide an additional source of customer flow to
TMP's clients while, through linkage to the corporate Web sites, reinforcing the
desired brand imagery. TMP charges clients who utilize the Dealer Locator
product an up-front fee for the development of each individual home page as well
as an annual maintenance fee thereafter.
 
    The Company's strategy with respect to Internet yellow page products is
twofold. First, develop appropriate Internet products which are attractive to
yellow page clients. Second, work with yellow page clients to drive traffic to
the client's Web sites.
 
    The Company believes its pre-existing relationships with yellow page clients
is a key competitive advantage in marketing Dealer Locator. The Company
maintains databases containing the address, telephone number and contact person
for each of its accounts and, in addition, the Company's sales and marketing
staff personally visits most of its accounts at least annually. The Company
believes that these databases and personal relationships when combined with
TMP's knowledge of its client's businesses will position TMP to capitalize on
its marketing Internet-based products.
 
                                       45
<PAGE>
    The Company began marketing Dealer Locator in June 1996. The following
illustrates the Dealer Locator program which the Company created for Midas
International Corporation:
 
                                     [LOGO]
 
    The Company believes that Internet services must be interactive in order to
maintain or expand their rate of usage. Dealer Locator was designed to be as
interactive as the user desires. For example, a user utilizing Dealer Locator
can retrieve pertinent information about the nearest Midas location or,
alternatively, the user can learn to diagnose certain car problems, learn about
the history of Midas or learn about Midas products. In addition, Midas' Dealer
Locator has an e-mail function which enables Midas to respond to customers'
questions and comments. The Company is researching other ways to make Dealer
Locator even more interactive.
 
    The Company believes that the Dealer Locator concept is appropriate for many
of its yellow page clients. For example, the Company is adapting Dealer Locator
technology to create Physician Finder. Physician Finder will list the names and
addresses of, and other pertinent information pertaining to, board certified
physicians. The Company anticipates that Physician Finder will be on-line by the
beginning of 1997.
 
TMP'S RECRUITMENT ADVERTISING BUSINESS
 
   
    TMP entered the recruitment advertising business in 1993 with the
acquisition of Bentley, Barnes & Lynn, Inc. and has grown both through
acquisitions and internally. Since 1993, the Company has acquired 28 recruitment
advertising agencies, and the Company believes it is one of the largest
recruitment advertising agencies. For the year ended December 31, 1995, TMP had
recruitment advertising gross billings of $166.5 million representing
approximately 7% of the U.S. market. In addition to its 45 offices in the United
States, the Company has 25 locations outside the United States. The Company also
maintains relationships with 24 agencies throughout the world, further enhancing
the Company's ability to reach qualified job candidates. As a full service
agency, TMP offers its clients comprehensive recruitment advertising services
including creation and placement of classified advertising, development of
employer image campaigns, creation of collateral materials such as recruiting
brochures and implementation of alternative recruitment programs such as job
fairs, employee referral programs and campus recruiting. The Company specializes
in designing recruitment advertising campaigns for clients in high growth
industries and in industries with high employee turnover rates. TMP believes
that the scope of its services and scale of its operations differentiate it from
its competitors. Further, the Company believes that as employers find it more
difficult to attract qualified employees, they will increasingly seek out
agencies that can implement national and, in some cases, global recruitment
strategies.
    
 
                                       46
<PAGE>
    CREATING AND PLACING THE ADVERTISEMENT.  The Company's task in formulating
and implementing a global recruitment advertising program is to design the
creative elements of the campaign and to select the appropriate media and/or
other recruitment methods. This is done in the context of the client's staffing
parameters which generally include skill requirements, job location and
advertising budget. In addition, while executing a given campaign, TMP will
often undertake basic research with respect to demographic profiles of selected
geographic areas to assist the client in developing an appropriate overall
strategy.
 
    The Company has historically found that the strongest recruitment
advertising campaigns "brand" the client's image, demonstrate the client's
unique selling points and stress the client's employee benefits and corporate
culture. Effectively differentiating one employer from another has become
particularly important in the technology and healthcare sectors where there is
an acute shortage of qualified job candidates. The success of the campaign may
depend on whether an organization is seen as sufficiently distinct from its
competitors.
 
    After completing the design of an advertisement's creative elements, the
Company develops an appropriate media plan. Typically, a variety of media is
used, including newspapers, trade journals, the Internet, billboards, direct
mail, radio and television. If the Company recommends use of newspapers, it may
recommend certain newspapers or editions of a particular newspaper which are
targeted to a specific demographic segment of the population. TMP may also
recommend a variety of advertisement sizes and vary the frequency with which an
advertisement appears.
 
    After an advertisement is placed, the Company conducts extensive customer
analysis to assure satisfaction, including monitoring the effectiveness of the
chosen media. As an example, for a transportation client, TMP analyzed
cost-per-response, cost-per-application and cost-per-hire data for over a dozen
media vehicles running in approximately 30 markets in an effort to determine the
return on investment of each media vehicle. TMP's recruitment advertising
division also maintains a quality assurance program for its larger clients which
provides services similar to those provided to the Company's yellow page
clients.
 
    The Company receives commissions generally equal to 15% of recruitment
advertising gross billings. The Company also earns fees from value-added
services such as design, research and other creative and administrative services
which resulted in aggregate commissions and fees equal to approximately 21% of
recruitment advertising gross billings.

<PAGE>
    CLIENTS.  The Company has more than 2,500 recruitment advertising clients.
The Company believes that an important component of its growth in recruitment
advertising is working with clients in high growth industries and in industries
with high employee turnover rates. The following are some of TMP's larger
recruitment advertising clients:

    INTERNET-BASED SOLUTIONS FOR RECRUITMENT ADVERTISING CLIENTS.  To complement
the broad reach and penetration of print recruitment advertising, the Company
offers its clients Internet-based solutions to meet their recruitment needs. The
Company has several career hubs including, The Monster
Board-Registered Trademark-, Online Career Center-SM-, Be the Boss-SM- and
MedSearch-SM-. Each of these Web sites consists of a database of job and resume
listings and a variety of other value added features. Collectively, TMP's career
hubs contain more than 35,000 job postings. The Company intends to continue to
build and expand its portfolio of product offerings through both internal
development and acquisitions.
 
   
    Based on its experience with its clients, the Company believes that only 20%
to 30% of open job positions are advertised using traditional print media. It is
the Company's belief that on-line solutions will significantly expand the
recruitment advertising market because of their global reach and continuous
availability. Furthermore, on-line advertising is extremely cost effective when
compared to other traditional recruitment methods. TMP intends to aggressively
pursue this market by leveraging its relationships with its existing clients and
by using its portfolio of on-line services to attract new accounts. TMP's
Internet recruitment services have been actively marketed since May 1995 and are
currently generating approximately $700,000 in monthly revenue, approximately
45% of which is from new clients.
    
 
                                       48
<PAGE>
    The Company's strategy with respect to Internet recruitment products is
twofold. First, develop a portfolio of attractive product offerings and
differentiate them through functionality, target market and price points.
Second, drive user traffic to its Web sites to maximize the value of the medium
to TMP's customers.
 
   
    The Monster Board-Registered Trademark- (HTTP://WWW.MONSTER.COM), launched
in April 1994, was rated by COMMUNICATIONS WEEK (June 10, 1996 edition) as the
premier career oriented Web site in terms of its search and responding
capabilities. It was also one of the first 1,000 commercial Web sites out of the
more than 300,000 which currently exist. The Monster Board-Registered Trademark-
currently lists approximately 15,000 jobs offered by over 3,000 employers, and
clients of The Monster Board-Registered Trademark- include Nike, McDonald's, BBN
Planet, CompuServe, Deloitte & Touche, and USA TODAY. According to Nielson Media
Research Internet Profiles Corporation, The Monster Board-Registered Trademark-
received over 7.7 million hits (an entry into the log file on its server) in
June 1996, and is averaging approximately 15,000 visits daily with the average
length of each visit approaching nine and one-half minutes. Users of The Monster
Board-Registered Trademark- can search for employment opportunities three ways.
Monster Search-TM- utilizes intuitive scrollbar functionality to access the full
Monster Board-Registered Trademark- database according to location, discipline,
company and job title. Keyword Search allows a user to enter specific keywords
to match skills, job titles or other requirements and Monster NewsSearch employs
Verity-TM- technology to search over 40 Usenet Newsgroups on the Internet which
deliver over 50,000 additional job opportunities. Job seekers can post their
resume into the database free of charge, enabling them to easily transmit their
resume to prospective employers electronically. The Monster
Board-Registered Trademark- currently contains over 45,000 resumes and attracts
on average over 100 new resumes per day.
    
 
    Online Career Center-SM- (HTTP://WWW.OCC.COM) ("OCC") is the Internet's
earliest career site, originating in late 1992 when a group of U.S. corporations
developed an employment database. Launched in April 1993, OCC is designed to
provide corporate recruiters and job-seekers with efficient and easy-to-use
search software. OCC enters into subscription based agreements with member
companies and functions as a central Internet recruitment and human resources
management service. OCC maintains a Member Services Department which assists
corporate users during business hours. As with The Monster
Board-Registered Trademark-, job seekers can place their resumes on-line. OCC
currently lists more than 20,000 jobs for a broad client base including Allied
Signal, Andersen Consulting, Eli Lilly and Co., Levi Strauss & Co., Smith Barney
and Viacom. OCC is designed for users who prefer Web sites which are more direct
with fewer ancillary features. Its value-added services include career
assistance, a self-help career information section for applicants, recruiter's
office, which provides resource information for corporate recruiters, on-campus,
a link to over 700 colleges and universities nationwide, and membership
opportunities for contractors, agencies and search firms. OCC's pricing
structure is membership-based rather than volume-based, consistent with its
"less frills" market positioning.

                                       49
<PAGE>
interactive financial worksheets and links to other entrepreneurs' resources on
the Web. Be the Boss-SM- also includes a comprehensive directory of franchises
worldwide.
 
    TMP has also developed private label applications of its interactive
recruitment products. For example, the Company adapted The Monster
Board-Registered Trademark- technology to create a database of jobs for Fidelity
Investments which resides, through a hyper-link, on the Fidelity home page. The
search features have the look and ease of use associated with The Monster
Board-Registered Trademark- while appearing to the user as a seamless part of
the Fidelity site. TMP intends to continue to market private label products as a
way to increase the scale of its databases.
 
    To differentiate its on-line products, the Company has focused on segmenting
the user market place. For example, The Monster Board-Registered Trademark- is
TMP's premium general recruitment product and is therefore populated with a
variety of value-added features including:
 
        ROAR.  A segment of The Monster Board-Registered Trademark- targeted to
    the college and entry-level job seekers. Roar offers young professionals the
    opportunity to conduct an entry-level career search, access the latest
    career and lifestyle trends, pose career-related questions, and enter into
    on-line discussions with their peers.
 
        HR1.  HR1 is an interactive forum which provides Human Resources
    professionals with the ability to catch up on the latest industry trends,
    network with colleagues through on-line discussions, learn about pertinent
    associations and educational offerings, and review current Human Resources
    opportunities.
 
        CEO EXCHANGE.  CEO Exchange is an executive resource featuring
    interviews with leading CEO's, on-line discussions, and strategies to
    approach typical issues or dilemmas. CEO Exchange also offers an executive
    level career search.
 
        CAREER CENTER.  This employment resource features interviewing and
    resume tips, career fair listings, important career links and a career
    counselor to respond to questions submitted by users.
 
    In addition to market segmentation, the Company intends to differentiate its
products by tailoring them to specific geographic areas and by branding them
using both traditional advertising media and the Internet. To date, The Monster
Board-Registered Trademark- has been tailored to reflect the local customs and
terminology of the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. In March
1996, the Company began to execute a media plan aimed at branding The Monster
Board-Registered Trademark-.
 
    To attract the maximum amount of volume to its Web sites, TMP intends to
continue to develop additional value-added content while developing strategic
alliances with other on-line content providers. The Company's current strategic
alliances center on The Monster Board-Registered Trademark- and include:
 
        THE GARTNER GROUP. The Gartner Group is the leading provider of
    independent research, analysis and advisory services to the information
    technology industry. In August 1996, The Monster Board-Registered Trademark-
    became the official career hub for Gartner Group's Web site @VANTAGE.COM.
    Individuals who access this site can therefore directly access The Monster
    Board-Registered Trademark- database through a hyper-link. The interface has
    the same functionality and ease of use of The Monster
    Board-Registered Trademark-. This arrangement was established on a
    co-branded basis such that users will see the logos of both The Monster
    Board-Registered Trademark- and the Gartner Group. This alliance serves to
    continue to reinforce The Monster Board's brand equity while driving volume
    to The Monster Board-Registered Trademark-'s jobs database.
 
        AT&T BUSINESS NETWORK. AT&T Business Network is a comprehensive,
    Web-based information and productivity resource designed for business
    managers, professionals and entrepreneurs. In July 1996, TMP established a
    co-branded career hub alliance with AT&T Business Network structured in a
    similar fashion to the Gartner Group alliance. AT&T Business Network and
    Industry.Net have merged to form Netts, Inc. and the Company anticipates
    that its relationship will expand with this merger.
 
                                       50
<PAGE>
        ZIFF DAVIS INTERACTIVE'S ZDNET. Ziff Davis is a leading publisher of
    magazines for the computer industry. In August 1995, TMP entered into an
    agreement with Ziff Davis Interactive to use The Monster
    Board-Registered Trademark- as the official job site for the Ziff Davis
    Interactive's ZDNet Web site. Unlike co-branded alliances, however, this was
    structured as a private label application. Therefore, the site has the
    functionality of The Monster Board-Registered Trademark-, while appearing to
    be a seamless component of the host site. The strategic alliance adds
    approximately 1,500 users to The Monster Board-Registered Trademark-'s
    circulation each day.
 
        RESTRAC, INC. Restrac, Inc. is the leading provider of software used to
    automate the recruitment, selection, and placement of an organization's
    workforce. Restrac, Inc.'s software is licensed by 450 organizations with
    over 4,000 users. Imbedded in Restrac, Inc.'s software is an automatic
    download feature whereby job postings can be fed directly into The Monster
    Board-Registered Trademark-. Further, resumes posted on The Monster
    Board-Registered Trademark- can be downloaded directly into Restrac, Inc.
    This alliance significantly streamlines TMP's interface with its clients who
    utilize Restrac, Inc.'s software, further enhancing the cost effectiveness
    of The Monster Board-Registered Trademark-.
 
    The Monster Board-Registered Trademark- utilizes Sun Microsystem's high-end
Sparc workstations (Sparc 1000's, Super Sparcs, Ultra Sparcs) to provide
commercial-grade Web service to an expanding Internet user-base. The Monster
Board-Registered Trademark- is currently co-located at BBN Planet and connected
to a 10 megabit/second feed. An Oracle-TM- database is incorporated to store
resumes and jobs. Oracle-TM- also allows The Monster Board-Registered Trademark-
to take advantage of agent technology, which allows enhanced user interaction,
personalization and passive, independent data searches which the user can
customize and view the next time they log on to the site. An Open Market-TM-
server is installed to ensure the speed and reliability of The Monster
Board-Registered Trademark- and to add the ability to handle encrypted credit
card transactions over the Web.
 
SALES AND MARKETING
 
    TMP has over 1,500 employees focused on its sales, marketing and customer
service efforts worldwide. The Company has divided its sales, marketing and
customer service staff into two groups: (i) new business generation
(approximately 150 employees) and (ii) existing client relationships maintenance
and improvement (approximately 1,400 employees). In 1995, the Company acquired
73 new clients with estimated annual gross billings of approximately $30
million. Within each group, TMP maintains separate sales and marketing staffs
for its yellow page advertising business, recruitment advertising business and
Internet business. In addition to specializing by product, each group undertakes
a cross-selling effort of TMP's other products as appropriate. The Company's
Internet sales staff has targeted its yellow page and recruitment advertising
clients to capitalize on the interactivity and additional services that its
Internet products can cost effectively provide such clients. In addition to
pursuing cross-selling opportunities within TMP's existing client base, each
product sales force also designs targeted selling campaigns for non-TMP clients.
TMP's clients have a marketing manager who works closely with the client to
develop and design the appropriate marketing and advertising campaign. The
customer service representatives work closely with the marketing manager and the
client to implement the marketing and advertising campaign, evaluate the
effectiveness of the campaign and monitor client satisfaction levels.
 
    The Company has more than 17,000 clients, including more than 70 of the
Fortune 100 companies and more than 240 of the Fortune 500 companies. No one
client accounts for more than 5% of the Company's annual commissions and fees.
The Company has 45 sales, marketing and customer service offices located in the
United States and 25 offices in the rest of the world. The Company also
maintains relationships with 24 international recruitment advertising agencies
throughout the world, further enhancing the Company's ability to reach qualified
job candidates.

COMPETITION
 
    The markets for the Company's services and products are highly competitive
and are characterized by pressure to reduce prices, incorporate new capabilities
and technologies and accelerate job completion schedules.
 
    The Company faces competition from a number of sources. These sources
include national and regional advertising agencies, media companies, as well as
specialized and integrated marketing communication firms. Many advertising
agencies and media companies have started to either internally develop or
acquire new media capabilities. New boutiques that provide integrated or
specialized services (such as advertising services or Web site design) and are
technologically proficient, especially in the new media arena, are also
competing with the Company. Many of the Company's competitors or potential
competitors have long operating histories, and some have greater financial,
management, technological, development, sales, marketing and other resources
than the Company. In addition, the Company's ability to maintain its existing
clients and generate new clients depends to a significant degree on the quality
of its services, pricing and its reputation among its clients and potential
clients.
 
    TMP believes that its five largest competitors in the recruitment
advertising segment are Bernard Hodes Advertising, Inc., a subsidiary of
Omnicom, Nationwide Advertising Service, Inc., controlled by the Gund Brothers,
Austin Knight, JWT Specialized Communications, a subsidiary of the WPP Group
USA, Inc., and Universal Communications, a subsidiary of The Interpublic Group
of Companies, Inc. The Company also competes with hundreds of Internet content
providers.
 
    The principal factors on which the Company competes are service, creative
quality, price, technological and new media sophistication and intangible
factors such as the interpersonal skills of the individuals managing the client
account and an adaptive corporate culture. The Company believes that it competes
favorably with respect to each of these factors. See "Risk
Factors--Competition."
 
PROPERTIES
 
    Substantially all offices of the Company are located in leased premises.
 
    The Company's principal office is located at 1633 Broadway, New York, New
York, where it occupies approximately 44,000 square feet of space under a lease
expiring in June 2004. Monthly payments under the lease currently are $105,712
and escalate during the term of the lease.
 
    The Company also has leases covering local offices throughout the United
States and in some foreign countries.
 
    All leased space is considered to be adequate for the operation of TMP's
business, and no difficulties are foreseen in meeting any future space
requirements.
 
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
 
    The Company's success and ability to compete is dependent in part on the
protection of its original content for the Internet and on the goodwill
associated with its trademarks, trade names, service marks and other proprietary
rights. The Company relies on copyright laws to protect the original content
that it develops for the Internet. In addition, the Company relies on federal
trademark laws to provide additional protection for the appearance of its
Internet sites. A substantial amount of uncertainty exists concerning the
application of copyright laws to the Internet, and there can be no assurance
that existing laws will provide adequate protection for the Company's original
content. In addition, because copyright laws do not prohibit independent
development of similar content, there can be no assurance that copyright laws
will provide any competitive advantage to the Company.
 
    The Company has registered "The Monster Board-Registered Trademark-." The
Company also asserts common law protection on certain names and marks that it
has used in connection with its business activities.
 
                                       52
<PAGE>
    The Company relies on trade secret and copyright laws to protect the
proprietary technologies that it has developed to manage and improve its
Internet sites and advertising services, but there can be no assurance that such
laws will provide sufficient protection to the Company, that others will not
develop technologies that are similar or superior to the Company's, or that
third parties will not copy or otherwise obtain and use the Company's
technologies without authorization. The Company has filed patent applications
with respect to certain of its software systems, methods and related
technologies, but there can be no assurance that such applications will be
granted or that any future patents will not be challenged, invalidated or
circumvented, or that the rights granted thereunder will provide a competitive
advantage for the Company. In addition, the Company relies on certain technology
licensed from third parties, and may be required to license additional
technology in the future, for use in managing its Internet sites and providing
related services to users and advertising customers. The Company's ability to
generate fees from Internet commerce may also depend on data encryption and
authentication technologies that the Company may be required to license from
third parties. There can be no assurance that these third party technology
licenses will be available or will continue to be available to the Company on
acceptable commercial terms or at all. The inability to enter into and maintain
any of these technology licenses could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and operating results.
 
    Policing unauthorized use of the Company's proprietary technology and other
intellectual property rights could entail significant expense and could be
difficult or impossible, particularly given the global nature of the Internet
and the fact that the laws of other countries may afford the Company little or
no effective protection of its intellectual property. In addition, there can be
no assurance that third parties will not bring claims of copyright or trademark
infringement against the Company or claim that the Company's use of certain
technologies violates a patent. The Company anticipates an increase in patent
infringement claims involving Internet-related technologies as the number of
products and competitors in this market grows and as related patents are issued.
Further, there can be no assurance that third parties will not claim that the
Company has misappropriated their creative ideas or formats or otherwise
infringed upon their proprietary rights in connection with its Internet content.
Any claims of infringement, with or without merit, could be time consuming to
defend, result in costly litigation, divert management attention, require the
Company to enter into costly royalty or licensing arrangements or prevent the
Company from using important technologies or methods, any of which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
operating results.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
    As an advertising agency which creates and places print and Internet
advertisements, the Company is subject to Sections 5 and 12 of the Federal Trade
Commission Act (the "FTC Act") which regulate advertising in all media,
including the Internet, and require advertisers and advertising agencies to have
substantiation for advertising claims before disseminating advertisements. The
FTC Act prohibits the dissemination of false, deceptive, misleading, and unfair
advertising, and grants the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") enforcement powers
to impose and seek civil penalties, consumer redress, injunctive relief and
other remedies upon advertisers and advertising agencies which disseminate
prohibited advertisements. Advertising agencies such as TMP are subject to
liability under the FTC Act if the agency actively participated in creating the
advertisement, and knew or had reason to know that the advertising was false or
deceptive.
 
    In the event that any advertising created by TMP was found to be false,
deceptive or misleading, the FTC Act could potentially subject the Company to
liability. The fact that the FTC has recently brought several actions charging
deceptive advertising via the Internet, and is actively seeking new cases
involving advertising via the Internet, indicates that the FTC Act could pose a
somewhat higher risk of liability to the advertising distributed via the
Internet. The FTC has never brought any actions against the Company.
 
    As a provider of Internet content, the Company is subject to the provisions
of the recently enacted Communications Decency Act (the "CDA"), which, among
other things, imposes criminal penalties on
 
                                       53
<PAGE>
anyone that distributes certain prohibited material over the Internet. Although
the manner in which the CDA will be interpreted and enforced and its effect on
the Company's operations cannot yet be fully determined, the CDA could subject
the Company to substantial liability. The CDA could also dampen the growth of
the Internet generally and decrease the acceptance of the Internet as an
advertising medium, and could, therefore, have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition or operating results. It is also
possible that new laws and regulations will be adopted covering issues such as
privacy, copyright infringement, subject matter and the pricing, characteristics
and quality of Internet products and services. Application to the Internet of
existing laws and regulations governing issues such as property ownership, libel
and personal privacy is also subject to substantial uncertainty.
 
    There can be no assurance that the CDA or other current or new government
laws and regulations, or the application of existing laws and regulations will
not subject the Company to significant liabilities, significantly dampen growth
in Internet usage, prevent the Company from offering certain Internet content or
services or otherwise cause a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition or operating results.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
    The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that are incidental to
the conduct of its business. The Company is not involved in any pending or
threatened legal proceedings which the Company believes could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition
or results of operations.
 
   
LITIGATION
    
 
   
    In November 1996, an action was commenced in the Supreme Court of the State
of New York against Old TMP, WCI and Andrew J. McKelvey by a former employee.
The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants breached
purported contractual obligations pursuant to which the former employee was
entitled to a 40% ownership interest in the Company's recruitment advertising
business, and breached fiduciary obligations to the former employee arising out
of the deprivation of his supposed 40% interest. The former employee seeks
damages in an unspecified amount and punitive damages in the amount of $10
million for each claim. The Company and Mr. McKelvey intend to vigorously
contest the complaint. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of the
litigation and, in the event of a decision adverse to the Company, the Company's
business, financial condition and operating results, and the Company's
stockholders, could be materially adversely affected. Mr. McKelvey has agreed to
indemnify the Company against any adverse judgment. There can be no assurance,
however, that Mr. McKelvey will have sufficient financial resources to satisfy
any indemnification claims.
    
 
EMPLOYEES
 
    At October 31, 1996, the Company employed 2,205 people, of whom 1,448 were
client services personnel, 159 were sales and marketing personnel and 300 were
creative and graphics personnel. The remainder of the Company's personnel are
financial and administrative personnel. The Company's employees are not
represented by a labor union or a collective bargaining agreement. The Company
regards its employee relations as excellent.

STOCK OPTIONS
 
    In January 1996, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the 1996 Employee
Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"), which provides for the issuance of
incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and non-qualified stock options,
to purchase an aggregate of up to 900,000 shares of the Common Stock of the
Company. The Stock Option Plan permits the grant of options to officers,
employees and consultants of the Company and its affiliates.
 
    The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. Each
option is evidenced by a written agreement in a form approved by the
Compensation Committee. No options granted under the Stock Option Plan are
transferable by the optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, and each option is exercisable, during the lifetime of the
optionee, only by the optionee.
 
    Under the Stock Option Plan, the exercise price per share of an incentive
stock option must be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of a share
of the Common Stock on the date of grant (110% of the fair market value in the
case of options granted to employees who hold more than ten percent of the
voting power of the Company's capital stock on the date of grant). The per share
exercise price of a non-qualified stock option must be not less than the par
value of a share of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The term of an
incentive or non-qualified stock option is not to exceed ten years (five years
in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a ten percent holder). The
Compensation Committee has the discretion to determine the period required for
full exercisability of stock options; however, in no event can the Compensation
Committee shorten such period to less than six months. Upon exercise of any
option granted under the Stock Option Plan, the exercise price may be paid in
cash, and/or such other form of payment as may be permitted under the applicable
option agreement, including, without limitation, previously owned shares of
Common Stock. The Stock Option Plan provides that the maximum option grant which
may be made to an executive officer in any calendar year is 45,000 shares.
 
   
    On January 3, 1996, options to purchase an aggregate of 296,640 shares of
Common Stock were granted to 97 officers, employees and consultants of the
Company at a per share purchase price equal to $6.65, the fair market value of
the Common Stock on the date of grant as determined by the Board. Of the 296,640
options, 7,056 options which were not vested were subsequently canceled upon the
recipients' leaving the Company's employ. Mr. Hosokawa was granted incentive
stock options to purchase 11,250 shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise
price of $6.65 per share.
    
 
   
    The Company has adopted a Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the
"Directors' Plan"), pursuant to which options to acquire a maximum aggregate of
180,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted to non-employee directors. Options
granted under the Directors' Plan do not qualify as incentive stock options
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. Pursuant to the Directors' Plan,
each of Messrs. Gaulding, Howard, Pallu and Swann, its non-employee directors,
was granted an option to purchase 11,250 shares of Common Stock at a purchase
price per share equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date
of such Director's election ($6.65 in the case of Mr. Gaulding and the per share
initial public offering price in the cases of Messrs. Swann, Pallu and Howard).
The options have a ten-year term and become exercisable as determined by the
Committee. The options may be exercised by payment in cash, check or shares of
Common Stock.

not be entitled to any severance, and in the event Mr. Treacy is terminated by
reason of his death, disability or for other reasons, he or his estate shall be
entitled to his base salary and minimum annual bonus for a period of one year
after the effective date of his termination payable at the times they would have
been payable had he remained employed, less income earned by him from the
performance of any personal services during such period. The agreement contains
confidentiality provisions, whereby Mr. Treacy agrees not to disclose any
confidential information regarding the Company and its affiliates, as well as
nonsolicitation provisions which prohibit Mr. Treacy from soliciting any active
or prospective accounts of the Company or its affiliates for a period of one
year following termination.
    
 
   
    The Company's subsidiary, TMP Interactive Inc., entered into an amended and
restated employment agreement with Jeffrey C. Taylor, effective as of September
11, 1996, for a term ending November 9, 1998. That agreement provides for
automatic renewal for successive one year terms unless either party notifies the
other to the contrary at least 60 days prior to its expiration. The agreement
provides that Mr. Taylor will serve as Chief Executive Officer of TMP
Interactive Inc. and provides Mr. Taylor with a base salary of $125,000 per year
and annual bonuses of at least $50,000 per year based on formulae mutually
agreed to by the parties. Under the agreement, Mr. Taylor may terminate his
employment upon written notice for certain material alterations in his
responsibilities, duties, and authorities or upon 60 days' prior written notice
for any reason. The agreement provides that in the event Mr. Taylor's employment
is terminated by TMP Interactive Inc. prior to its expiration for reasons other
than cause or is terminated by Mr. Taylor for certain material alterations in
his responsibilities, duties and authorities, TMP Interactive Inc. shall pay Mr.
Taylor his base salary and a minimum $50,000 annual bonus for the remaining term
of the agreement at the times they would have been payable had he remained
employed, less the consideration paid or earned by Mr. Taylor from other
employment during such period. The agreement also provides that in the event of
Mr. Taylor's voluntary resignation, termination of his employment by TMP
Interactive Inc. for "cause" or nonrenewal of the agreement, Mr. Taylor shall
not be entitled to any severance, and in the event of his disability or death he
or his estate shall be paid his base salary and certain other benefits for a
period of 90 days at the times they would have been payable had he remained
employed. The agreement contains confidentiality provisions, whereby Mr. Taylor
agrees not to disclose any confidential information regarding TMP Interactive
Inc. and its affiliates, as well as noncompetition provisions. The
noncompetition covenants generally survive the termination or expiration of Mr.
Taylor's employment for two years, provided that in certain circumstances TMP
Interactive Inc. must pay Mr. Taylor one-half of his base salary and one-half of
his $50,000 minimum annual bonus for the duration of the noncompetition
obligation. Mr. Taylor's agreement also prohibits him from soliciting or
servicing customers or prospective customers of
    
 
                                       59

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
 
    On September 16, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors established a
Compensation Committee, which currently consists of Messrs. Gaulding and Swann
to recommend compensation for the Company's executives and to administer the
Company's stock option and other benefit plans. Prior to September 16, 1996, all
matters concerning executive officer compensation were addressed by the entire
Board of Directors. During 1995, Messrs. McKelvey and Eisele were directors and
executive officers of the Company. See "Certain Transactions."
 
                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
   
    The Company has made advances to Messrs. McKelvey, Hosokawa and Collison in
the respective amounts of $3,209,305, $123,689 and $119,840 for 1993;
$3,720,431, $0 and $58,927 for 1994; $0, $4,031 and $0 for 1995; and $2,606,243,
$4,958 and $0 for 1996. Mr. McKelvey repaid $1,658,322 in 1995, Mr. Hosokawa
repaid $22,689 in 1994 and $2,218 in 1995 and Mr. Collison repaid $16,837 in
1993, $20,700 in 1994, $4,550 in 1995 and $2,275 in 1996. At September 30, 1996,
Messrs. McKelvey, Hosokawa and Collison were indebted to the Company in the
amounts of $9,490,002, $113,317 and $133,087, respectively. These advances do
not bear interest. The foregoing advances were unsecured and are repayable on
demand. The advances consisted primarily of tuition loans and personal loans.
These loans were deemed to be in the best interests of the Company for purposes
of facilitating the cash needs of key executive officers of the Company. The
advances were approved or ratified by the entire Board, including disinterested
directors, in accordance with applicable law and in accordance with general
Company policies. The foregoing advances were provided by either McKelvey
Enterprises, Inc. or Old TMP. Since 1993 until the effectiveness of the Mergers,
the Board of McKelvey Enterprises, Inc. consisted of Messrs. McKelvey, Eisele
and a non-employee director; since 1993 until January 1996, the Board consisted
of Messrs. Eisele, Hosokawa and McKelvey; in January 1996, Mr. Gaulding joined
the Board and in September 1996 the Board took its present form. The advances
were made on an unsecured basis in light of the creditworthiness of the
individuals receiving such advances. Upon consummation of this offering, Mr.
McKelvey's indebtedness will be converted to a promissory note, as described
below. The Company has adopted a policy that will be effective upon the
consummation of this offering prohibiting loans (other than travel advances in
the ordinary course of business and tuition loans in accordance with Company
policy) to its executive officers, directors and principal stockholders unless
such loans are approved by the Compensation Committee, which must determine that
such loans are in the best interests of the Company. Any loans made will bear
interest at a rate and be on such terms as determined by the Compensation
Committee to be fair to the Company. The Compensation Committee currently
consists of Messrs. Gaulding and Swann, each of whom is a non-employee director.
In the event a member of the Compensation Committee has a direct personal
interest in a matter, that member's vote shall not be counted in determining
whether such matter is approved by the Compensation Committee. All other
transactions with affiliates other than loans will be subject to approval by the
Board which must determine that such transactions are in the best interests of
the Company.
    
 
   
    On January 3, 1995, in connection with the acquisition of a yacht, the
Company and a subsidiary of the Company, Aeronautic Media, Inc. ("AMI") entered
into an agreement with Mr. McKelvey pursuant to which Mr. McKelvey agreed to be
solely responsible for the $1,690,000 loan used to finance the yacht. Mr.
McKelvey has agreed to purchase the yacht upon consummation of this offering at
the then net book value of such yacht, thereby increasing his indebtedness to
the Company in the amount of approximately $2,920,000, the net book value of the
yacht on October 31, 1996. Upon consummation of this offering, Mr. McKelvey will
convert all of his indebtedness to the Company, including but not limited to the
indebtedness incurred in connection with Mr. McKelvey's acquisition of the
yacht, to a promissory note. Such
    
 
                                       60
<PAGE>
promissory note will initially bear interest at the prime rate established by
The Bank of New York at the date of the note and shall be adjusted December 31,
1997 and each December 31st thereafter to the Bank of New York prime rate in
effect on such dates. The Note will provide for annual payments of all accrued
but unpaid interest commencing December 31, 1997. The principal amount shall be
payable in equal annual installments of one-sixtieth of the initial principal
amount commencing December 31, 1997, with all unpaid principal due ten years
from the date of the note.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
    The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides the Company with
the authority to issue 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 39,000,000 shares of
Class B Common Stock, 200,000 shares of 10.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock and
800,000 shares of Preferred Stock. After giving effect to this offering
(assuming the U.S. Underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised), the
Company will have outstanding 8,602,492 shares of Common Stock with one vote per
share (representing 5.5% of the combined voting power of the Company) and
14,787,541 shares of Class B Common Stock with ten votes per share (representing
94.5% of the combined voting power of the Company). The Company intends to use a
portion of the net proceeds of this offering to redeem all the outstanding
shares of 10.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock. No shares of Preferred Stock are
outstanding.
 
COMMON STOCK AND CLASS B COMMON STOCK
 
    DIVIDENDS.  Each share of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is entitled
to dividends if, as and when dividends may be declared by the Board of Directors
of the Company and paid. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company
may declare and pay dividends only out of its surplus, or in case there shall be
no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the
dividend is declared and/or the preceding year. No dividends may be declared,
however, if the capital of the Company has been diminished by depreciation,
losses or otherwise to an amount less than the aggregate amount of capital
represented by any issued and outstanding stock having a preference on
distribution. Dividends must be paid on both the Common Stock and the Class B
Common Stock at any time that dividends are paid on either. Any dividend so
declared and payable in cash, capital stock of the Company (other than Common
Stock or Class B Common Stock) or other property will be paid equally, share for
share, on the Class B Common Stock and Common Stock. Dividends and distributions
payable in shares of Class B Common Stock may be paid only on shares of Class B
Common Stock, and dividends and distributions payable in shares of Common Stock
may be paid only on shares of Common Stock. If a dividend or distribution
payable in Common Stock is made on the Common Stock, the Company must also make
a simultaneous dividend or distribution on the Class B Common Stock. Pursuant to
any such dividend or distribution, each share of Class B Common Stock will
receive a number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to the number of shares
of Common Stock payable on each share of Common Stock.
 
    VOTING RIGHTS.  Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote and each
share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes on all matters. Except as
described below, the Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock vote together as
a single class on all matters presented for a vote of the stockholders,
including the election of directors. The holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, voting as separate
classes, must approve certain amendments affecting shares of such class.
Specifically, if there is any proposal to amend the Certificate of Incorporation
in a manner that would increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, increase or decrease the par value of the
shares of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock or alter or change the powers,
preferences, or special rights of the shares of Common Stock or Class B Common
Stock so as to affect them adversely, such an amendment must be approved by a
majority of the outstanding shares of the affected class, voting separately as a
class. In addition, any merger or consolidation in which each share of Common
Stock receives consideration that is not of the same type or is less than the
amount of the consideration to be received by each share of Class B Common
Stock, other than consideration payable in securities which provide each share
of Class B Common Stock with the number of votes that is no more than ten times
the number of votes provided each share of Common Stock, must be approved by a
majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, voting separately as a
class. Shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock do not have cumulative
voting rights.
 
    TERMS OF CONVERSION.  Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at
any time, at the option of and without cost to the stockholder, into one share
of Common Stock. If at any time (i) the outstanding
 
                                       65
<PAGE>
shares of Class B Common Stock represent less than 15% of the combined voting
power of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock,
or (ii) the Board of Directors and the holder of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Class B Common Stock approve the conversion of all of the Class B
Common Stock into Common Stock, or (iii) the holder of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock dies, then each outstanding share of
Class B Common Stock shall be converted automatically into one share of Common
Stock without any action by the holder. In the event of such a conversion,
certificates formerly representing outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock
will thereafter be deemed to represent an equal number of shares of Common
Stock.
 
    LIQUIDATION RIGHTS.  In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Company, holders of the shares of Common Stock and Class B Common
Stock are entitled to share equally, share for share, in the assets available
for distribution.
 
    OTHER.  Additional shares of Class B Common Stock may only be issued upon
stock splits of, or stock dividends on, the existing Class B Common Stock. No
stockholder of the Company has preemptive or other rights to subscribe for
additional shares of the Company.
 
10.5% CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK
 
    DIVIDENDS.  Each share of 10.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Cumulative
Preferred Stock") is entitled to receive a cumulative cash dividend at an annual
rate of $1.05 per share, payable on the first day of May of each year (or if
such date is not a regular business day, then the next business day thereafter),
commencing on May 1, 1996. Dividends on the issued and outstanding shares of
Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be preferred and cumulative and shall accrue
from day to day from the date on which such shares are originally issued by the
Corporation ("Original Issue Date"). Holders of Cumulative Preferred Stock
("Cumulative Preferred Holders") are not entitled to participate in any other or
additional earnings or profits of the Company. The Cumulative Preferred Stock
ranks superior in terms of dividend payments to other capital stock of the
Company.
 
    VOTING RIGHTS.  Except as may otherwise be required by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the Cumulative Preferred Holders are not entitled to vote their
shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock on any matter submitted to a vote of the
shareholders of the Company or at any meeting of such shareholders.
 
    REDEMPTION RIGHTS.  At any time or from time to time after the Original
Issue Date, Cumulative Preferred Holders may give the Company notice of
intention to require the Company, subject to certain limitations, to redeem
("Put") all or any portion of their Cumulative Preferred Stock (collectively,
"Put Shares"). If a Cumulative Preferred Holder exercises a Put, and if the
Company does not have sufficient surplus to permit it to lawfully purchase all
of the Put Shares subject to any Put under the Delaware General Corporation Law,
the Company shall purchase the Put Shares as soon thereafter as it may lawfully
do so. Upon the Company's default in the redemption of the full amount of Put
Shares subject to an exercised Put, no distribution or dividends (other than
dividends payable in Common Stock or Class B Common Stock) may be made with
respect to other capital stock until such default shall be cured in full. The
Company, pursuant to a certain schedule, may redeem the entire amount or any
part of the shares of issued and outstanding Cumulative Preferred Stock, upon
not less than 60 days' written notice to the Cumulative Preferred Holders
thereof.
 
    LIQUIDATION RIGHTS.  In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Company (hereinafter referred to as "liquidation"), each Cumulative
Preferred Holder is entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company or the
proceeds thereof, with priority over all subordinate capital stock, a
preferential payment in an amount equal to the par value for each share of
Cumulative Preferred Stock, plus an amount equal to all unpaid cumulative
dividends accrued thereon, but without interest. The Cumulative Preferred
Holders are not, however, entitled to participate in any further distribution of
the assets of the Company or otherwise by reason of owning Cumulative Preferred
Stock. Cumulative
 
                                       66
<PAGE>
Preferred Stock may not be made subordinate to any other class of capital stock
of the Company unless at least two-thirds of the shares of the Cumulative
Preferred Stock then outstanding permit such action.
 
    TRANSFER RIGHTS.  Cumulative Preferred Holders must deliver written notice
("Notice of Transfer") to the principal business office of the Company to the
attention of its Secretary in connection with proposed transfers of Cumulative
Preferred Stock. The Notice of Transfer constitutes an offer to transfer all of
the offered shares to the Company for the same consideration proposed to be
received from a third party.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
    The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as
determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is authorized to
issue the shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights,
dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption,
redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting
any series or the designation of such series, without further vote or action by
the stockholders. The issuance of such Preferred Stock may have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company without
further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other
rights of the holders of Common Stock, including the loss of voting control to
others. The Company currently has no plan to issue any shares of such Preferred
Stock.
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
    If the Company proposes to register any of its securities, either for its
own account or for the account of other stockholders, the Company is required,
with certain exceptions, to notify stockholders of the Company holding 1,944,276
shares of Common Stock in the aggregate and, subject to certain limitations, to
include in such registration all of the shares of Common Stock requested to be
included by such holders. Registration rights with respect to 1,861,866 shares
of Common Stock terminate on December 31, 1996. The Company is generally
required to pay all the expenses of such registration other than underwriting
discounts and commissions.
 
DELAWARE ANTI-TAKEOVER LAW
 
    Under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Delaware
Anti-Takeover Law"), certain "business combinations" between a Delaware
corporation whose stock generally is publicly traded or held of record by more
than 2,000 stockholders and any person acquiring 15% or more of the voting stock
of such Delaware corporation (an "interested stockholder") are prohibited for a
three-year period following the time that such stockholder became an interested
stockholder, unless (i) either the business combination or the transaction which
resulted in the stockholder becoming an "interested stockholder" was approved by
the board of directors of the corporation prior to the time the other party to
the business combination became an interested stockholder, (ii) upon
consummation of the transaction that made it an interested stockholder, the
interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation
outstanding at the commencement of the transaction (excluding voting stock owned
by directors who are also officers and stock held in employee stock plans in
which the employees do not have a right to determine confidentially whether to
tender or vote stock held by the plan), or (iii) the business combination was
approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized by 66 2/3%
of the voting stock which the interested stockholder did not own. The
corporation may opt out of the effect of this statement by (i) including a
provision to such effect in the corporation's original certificate of
incorporation, (ii) amendment to the corporation's bylaws made by the board of
directors within 90 days after the effective date of the statute or (iii)
amendment of the corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws approved
by holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote; provided that such
amendment shall generally not take effect until 12 months after its adoption and
shall not effect any business
 
                                       67
<PAGE>
combination with interested stockholders which are effected during such 12
months. The three-year prohibition does not apply to certain business
combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or
notification of certain extraordinary transactions involving the corporation and
a person who had not been an interested stockholder during the previous three
years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of a majority of
the corporation's directors. The term "business combination" is defined
generally to include mergers or consolidations between a Delaware corporation
and an interested stockholder, transactions with an interested stockholder
involving the assets or stock of the corporation or its majority-owned
subsidiaries and transactions which increase an interested stockholder's
percentage ownership of stock. The term "interested stockholder" is defined
generally as a stockholder who becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or more of a
Delaware corporation's voting stock. Section 203 could have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company.
 
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
 
    The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that directors of the
Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability (i) for any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the Company or
its stockholders, (ii) for acts of omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derives an improper personal benefit. Moreover, the provisions do not
apply to claims against a director for violations of certain laws, including
federal securities laws. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to
authorize the further elimination or limitation of directors' liability, then
the liability of directors of the Company shall automatically be limited to the
fullest extent provided by law. The Company's Bylaws also contain provisions to
indemnify the directors and officers of the Company to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition, the Company has
entered into indemnification agreements with its current directors. These
provisions and agreements may have the practical effect in certain cases of
eliminating the ability of stockholders to collect monetary damages from
directors. The Company believes that these contractual agreements and the
provisions in its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are necessary to
attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
 
TRANSFER AGENT
 
    The Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is The Bank of New York.

                 CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES
                  TO NON-UNITED STATES HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK
 
GENERAL
 
    The following is a general discussion of certain United States federal
income and estate tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Common
Stock by a holder who is not a United States person (a "Non-U.S. Holder"), and
who acquires and owns such Common Stock as a capital asset within the meaning of
Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). For
this purpose, the term "Non-U.S. Holder" is defined as any person other than (i)
a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, partnership or
other entity created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the
United States or of any state, or (iii) an estate or trust whose income is
includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes,
regardless of its source. This discussion does not consider specific facts and
circumstances that may be relevant to a particular Non-U.S. Holder's tax
position, does not address all aspects of United States federal income and
estate taxes and does not deal with foreign, state and local tax consequences or
United States federal gift taxes that may be relevant to such Non-U.S. Holders
in light of their particular circumstances. Further, it does not discuss the
rules applicable to Non-U.S. Holders subject to special tax treatment under the
federal income tax laws (including, but not limited to, banks and insurance
companies, dealers in securities, and holders of securities held as part of a
"straddle," "hedge," or "conversion transaction"). Furthermore, this discussion
is based on current provisions of the Code, existing and proposed regulations
promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof,
all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. Each
prospective purchaser of Common Stock is advised to consult a tax advisor with
respect to current and possible future tax consequences of acquiring, holding,
and disposing of Common Stock.
 
    Proposed United States Treasury Regulations were issued on April 22, 1996
(the "Proposed Regulations") which, if adopted, would affect the United States
taxation of dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder on Common Stock. The Proposed
Regulations are generally proposed to be effective with respect to dividends
paid after December 31, 1997, subject to certain transition rules. The
discussion below is not intended to be a complete discussion of the provisions
of the Proposed Regulations, and prospective investors are urged to consult
their tax advisors with respect to the effect the Proposed Regulations would
have if adopted.
 
    An individual may, among other ways, subject to certain exceptions, be
deemed to be a resident alien (as opposed to a nonresident alien) by virtue of
being present in the United States on at least 31 days in the calendar year and
for an aggregate of at least 183 days during a three-year period ending in the
current calendar year (counting, for such purposes, all of the days present in
the current year, one-third of the days present in the immediately preceding
year, and one-sixth of the days present in the second preceding year). Resident
aliens are subject to United States federal income tax as if they were United
States citizens.
 
DIVIDENDS
 
    In general, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of Common Stock will be
subject to withholding of United States federal income tax at a 30% rate or such
lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, unless the
dividends are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business of
the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States ("United States trade or business
income"). If the dividend is United States trade or business income, the
dividend would be subject to United States federal income tax on a net income
basis at applicable graduated individual or corporate rates and would be exempt
from the 30% withholding tax described above if such holder claims the exemption
from withholding by filing Form 4224 or any successor thereto. Any such
dividends that are United States trade or business income received by a foreign
corporation may, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional
"branch profits tax" at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an
applicable income tax treaty. Certain
 
                                       69
<PAGE>
certification and disclosure requirements must be complied with in order to be
exempt from withholding under the United States trade or business income
exemption discussed above.
 
    Under current United States Treasury regulations, dividends paid to a
stockholder at an address in a foreign country are presumed to be paid to a
resident of such country for purposes of the withholding discussed above (unless
the payor has knowledge to the contrary) and, under the current interpretation
of United States Treasury regulations, for purposes of determining the
applicability of a tax treaty rate, unless an applicable tax treaty requires
some other method for determining a stockholder's residence.
 
    Under the Proposed Regulations, to obtain a reduced rate of withholding
under a treaty, a Non-U.S. Holder would generally be required to provide an
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 and/or other document certifying such Non-U.S.
Holder's entitlement to benefits under a treaty. The Proposed Regulations would
also provide special rules to determine whether, for purposes of determining the
applicability of a tax treaty, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder that is an
entity should be treated as paid to the entity or those holding an interest in
that entity.
 
    A Non-U.S. Holder of Common Stock eligible for a reduced rate of United
States withholding tax pursuant to a tax treaty or whose dividends have
otherwise been subjected to withholding in an amount which exceeds such holder's
United States federal income tax liability, may obtain a refund or credit of any
excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the
United States Internal Revenue Service (the "Service").
 
GAIN ON DISPOSITION OF COMMON STOCK
 
    A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to United States federal
income tax with respect to gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of
Common Stock unless (i) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a
trade or business of such holder in the United States, (ii) in the case of a
Non-U.S. Holder who is a nonresident alien individual and who holds the Common
Stock as a capital asset, such holder is present in the United States for 183 or
more days in the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and certain other
conditions are met, (iii) the Non-U.S. Holder is subject to tax pursuant to
provisions of United States tax law that apply to certain expatriates, or (iv)
under certain circumstances if the Company is or has been during certain time
periods a "U.S. real property holding corporation" for United States federal
income tax purposes. The Company is not and does not anticipate becoming a "U.S.
real property holding corporation" for United States federal income tax
purposes.
 
    If an individual Non-U.S. Holder falls under clause (i) above, such person
will be taxed on the net gain derived from the sale under regular graduated
United States federal income tax rates. If the individual falls under clause
(ii) above, such person will be subject to a flat 30% tax on such person's
United States source capital gains for the taxable year which may be offset by
United States source capital losses for such year (notwithstanding the fact that
he is not considered a resident of the United States). Thus, Non-U.S. Holders
who spend 183 days or more in the United States in the taxable year in which
they contemplate a sale of the Common Stock are urged to consult their tax
advisors as to the tax consequences of such sale.
 
    If a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation falls under clause (i)
above, it will be taxed on its gain on a net income basis at applicable
graduated corporate rates and, in addition, may be subject to the branch profits
tax equal to 30% of its "effectively connected earnings and profits" within the
meaning of the Code for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items, unless
it qualifies for a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty.
 
    Periodically, legislation has been introduced in Congress pursuant to which
the gain from the sale of stock of a domestic corporation by a foreign
corporation or a non-resident alien individual would be considered to be
effectively connected income, if such person owns 10% or more (by vote or value)
of the domestic corporation at any time during the previous five years. It is
not known whether such or similar legislation will be enacted.
 
                                       70

FEDERAL ESTATE TAXES
 
    Common Stock that is owned, or treated as owned, by a non-resident alien
individual (as specifically determined under residence rules for United States
federal estate tax purposes) at the time of death or that has been the subject
of certain lifetime transfers will be included in such holder's gross estate for
United States federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax
treaty provides otherwise.
 
UNITED STATES INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING TAX
 
    The Company must report annually to the Service and to each Non-U.S. Holder
the amount of dividends paid to such holder and the amount, if any, tax withheld
with respect to such dividends. These information reporting requirements apply
regardless of whether withholding is required. Copies of the information returns
reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available, under the
provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement, to the tax authorities in the
country in which such holder resides.
 
    United States backup withholding tax (which generally is a withholding tax
imposed at the rate of thirty-one percent (31%) on certain payments to persons
that fail to furnish certain information under the United States information
reporting requirements) generally will not apply to dividends paid on Common
Stock to a Non-U.S. Holder at an address outside the United States. Except as
provided below, Non-U.S. Holders will not be subject to backup withholding with
respect to the payment of proceeds from the disposition of Common Stock effected
by the foreign office of a broker; except that if the broker is a United States
person or a "U.S. related person," information reporting (but not backup
withholding) is required with respect to the payment, unless the broker has
documentary evidence in its files that the owner is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the
broker has no actual knowledge to the contrary) and certain other requirements
are met or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. For this purpose, a
"U.S. related person" is (i) a "controlled foreign corporation" for United
States federal income tax purposes, or (ii) a foreign person 50% or more of
whose gross income from all sources for the three-year period ending with the
close of its taxable year preceding the collection or payment of such proceeds
(or for such part of the period that the broker has been in existence) is
derived from activities that are effectively connected with the conduct of a
United States trade or business. The payment of the proceeds of a sale of shares
of Common Stock to or through a United States office of a broker is subject to
information reporting and possible backup withholding unless the owner certifies
its non-United States status under penalties of perjury or otherwise establishes
an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld
under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder will be
allowed as a refund or a credit against such Non-U.S. Holder's United States
federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is
furnished to the Service.
 
    The Proposed Regulations would, if adopted, alter the foregoing rules in
certain respects. Among other things, the Proposed Regulations would provide
certain presumptions under which a Non-United States Holder would be subject to
backup withholding in the absence of the required certification.
 
   
    THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IS NOT
BASED ON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL. ACCORDINGLY, EACH PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER IS URGED
TO CONSULT WITH HIS TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME
TAX AND FEDERAL ESTATE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND
DISPOSITION OF COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF THE LAWS OF
ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN, OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
    Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock
of the Company, and no prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that
market sales of shares or the availability of such shares for sale will have on
the market price of the Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of
substantial amounts of Common Stock, or the perception that such sales could
occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices.
 
    Upon completion of this offering, the Company will have 23,390,033 shares of
Common Stock outstanding. Of those shares, the 4,800,000 shares sold in the
offering will be freely tradeable without restriction (except as to affiliates
of the Company) or further registration under the Securities Act.
 
    The Company, all of the Company's executive officers and directors and
certain other stockholders of the Company, including the Selling Stockholders,
have agreed that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated on behalf of the Underwriters, they will not (i) offer, pledge,
sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any
option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or
otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common
Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
Common Stock (provided that such shares or securities are either now owned by
such stockholder or are hereafter acquired prior to or in connection with this
offering) (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to
another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of
the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii)
above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in
cash or otherwise, for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus,
other than (A) the sale to the Underwriters of the shares of Common Stock under
the Underwriting Agreement or (B) the issuance by the Company of shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion of a
security outstanding on the date hereof of which the Underwriters have been
advised in writing. These individuals and entities collectively hold 16,324,765
shares of Common Stock. Of such shares of Common Stock, 14,787,541 shares of
Common Stock held by an affiliate will be eligible for sale in the public
market, subject to certain volume and other limitations, 181 days from the date
of this Prospectus pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Certain of the
Company's stockholders have the right to include their shares in any future
registration of securities effected by the Company under the Securities Act. See
"Risk Factors--Shares Eligible for Future Sale" and "Description of Capital
Stock--Registration Rights."
 
    In general, under Rule 144 of the Securities Act as currently in effect, a
person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned
restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 ("Restricted Shares") for
at least two years (including any period of ownership of immediately preceding
non-affiliated holders), would be entitled to sell within any three-month period
a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume of the
Common Stock on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotation System during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under
Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice
requirements and the availability of current public information about the
Company. Any person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed
to have been an affiliate of the Company at any time during the three months
preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned shares for at least three years
(including any period of ownership of preceding non-affiliated holders), would
be entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144(k) without regard to the volume
limitations, manner of sale provisions, public information requirements or
notice requirements. An "affiliate" is a person that directly, or indirectly
through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under
common control with, such issuer. The Securities and Exchange Commission has
proposed to reduce the holding period requirements of Rule 144 to permit sales
in accordance with such rule after one year and two years, respectively, as
opposed to the two year and three year periods currently permitted, as described
above.
 
    The Company intends to file registration statements under the Securities Act
registering the 1,900,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the
Stock Option Plan and the 180,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance
under the Directors' Plan shortly after the closing of this offering. See
"Management--Stock Options." These registration statements will become effective
automatically upon filing. Accordingly, shares registered under such
registration statements will be available for sale in the open market, unless
such shares are subject to vesting restrictions with the Company or the
contractual restrictions described above.

Person. All shares of Common Stock to be purchased by the U.S. Underwriters and
the International Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement are referred to

    Pursuant to the Agreement Between U.S. Underwriters and International
Underwriters, sales may be made between the U.S. Underwriters and International
Underwriters of any number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to
the Underwriting Agreement as may be mutually agreed. The per share price of any

Underwriters, each U.S. Underwriter has represented that it has not offered or
sold, and has agreed not to offer or sell, any shares of Common Stock, directly

within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulation (1995) (the
"Regulations"); (b) it has complied and will comply with all applicable
provisions of the Financial Services Act 1986 and the Regulations with respect
to anything done by it in relation to the shares of Common Stock offered hereby

    Pursuant to the Agreement Between U.S. Underwriters and International
Underwriters, each International Underwriter has represented and agreed that it
has not offered or sold, and agrees not to offer or sell, directly or
indirectly, in Japan or to or for the account of any resident thereof, any of
the shares of Common Stock acquired in connection with the distribution
contemplated hereby, except for offers or sales to Japanese International
Underwriters or dealers and except pursuant to any exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities and Exchange Law or any other
relevant laws and regulations of Japan. Each International Underwriter further
agrees to send to any dealer who purchases from it any of the shares of Common
Stock a notice stating in substance that, by purchasing such shares, such dealer
represents and agrees that it has not offered or sold, and will not offer or
sell any of such shares, directly or indirectly in Japan or to or for the
account of any resident thereof except for offers or sales to Japanese
Underwriters or dealers and except pursuant to any exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities and Exchange Law and any other
relevant laws and regulations of Japan. Each International Underwriter further
agrees to send to any dealer who purchases from it any of the shares of Common
Stock a notice stating in substance that, by purchasing such shares, such dealer
represents and agrees that it has not offered or sold, and will not offer or
sell any of such shares, directly or indirectly in Japan or to or for the
account of any resident thereof except for offers or sales to Japanese
Underwriters or dealers and except pursuant to any exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan, and that
such dealer will send to any other dealer to whom it sells any of such shares of
Common Stock a notice containing substantially the same statement as contained
in the foregoing.
 
    The Underwriters propose to offer part of the shares of Common Stock offered
hereby directly to the public at the initial public offering price set forth on
the cover page hereof and part to certain dealers at a price that represents a
concession not in excess of $         a share below the initial public offering
price. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession
not in excess of $         a share to other Underwriters or to certain dealers.
 
    The Company has granted to the U.S. Underwriters an option, exercisable for
30 days from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to 720,000 additional
shares of Common Stock at the initial public offering price set forth on the
cover page hereof, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The U.S.
Underwriters may exercise such option to purchase solely for the purpose of
covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with this offering.
 
    The Representatives of the Underwriters have informed the Company that the
Underwriters do not intend sales to discretionary accounts to exceed five
percent of the total number of shares of Common Stock offered by them.
 
    The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters have agreed to
indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
    At the request of the Company, the Underwriters have reserved for sale, at
the initial public offering price, up to 240,000 shares offered hereby for
directors, officers, employees, business associates and related persons of the
Company. The number of shares of Common Stock available for sale to the general
public will be reduced to the extent such persons purchase such reserved shares.
Any reserved shares which are not so purchased will be offered by the
Underwriters to the general public on the same basis as the other shares offered
hereby.
 
    The Company, all of the Company's executive officers and directors and
certain other stockholders of the Company, including the Selling Stockholders,
have agreed that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated on behalf of the Underwriters, they will not (i) offer, pledge,
sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any
option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or
otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common
Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
Common Stock (provided that such shares or securities are either now owned by
such stockholder or are hereafter acquired prior to or in connection with this
offering), or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that
 
                                       75
<PAGE>
transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of
ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause
(i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other
securities, in cash or otherwise, for a period of 180 days after the date of
this Prospectus, other than (A) the sale to the Underwriters of the shares of
Common Stock under the Underwriting Agreement or (B) the issuance by the Company
of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the
conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof of which the
Underwriters have been advised in writing.
 
PRICING OF THE OFFERING
 
    Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the shares of
Common Stock of the Company. Consequently, the initial public offering price
will be determined by negotiation among the Company, the Selling Stockholders
and the Representatives. Among the factors considered in determining the initial
public offering price will be the Company's record of operations, the Company's
current financial condition and future prospects, the experience of its
management, the economics of the industry in general, the general condition of
the equity securities market and the market price of similar securities of
companies considered comparable to the Company. There can be no assurance that a
regular trading market for the shares of Common Stock will develop after the
offering or, if developed, that a public trading market can be sustained. There
can also be no assurance that the prices at which the Common Stock will sell in
the public market after the offering will not be lower than the price at which
it is issued by the Underwriters in the offering.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
    The validity of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be passed
upon for the Company and the Selling Stockholders by Fulbright & Jaworski
L.L.P., 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10103. Certain legal matters will
be passed upon for the Underwriters by Davis Polk & Wardwell.

    [THE FOLLOWING IS THE FORM OF OPINION THAT BDO SEIDMAN, LLP WILL BE IN A
POSITION TO ISSUE UPON THE CONSUMMATION OF THE MERGERS DISCUSSED IN NOTE 1 AND
THE STOCK ISSUANCE DISCUSSED IN NOTE 2]
 
TMP Worldwide Inc.
New York, New York
 
    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TMP
Worldwide Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
 
    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TMP
Worldwide Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    TMP Worldwide Inc. (the "Company") is the successor to businesses formerly
conducted by TMP Worldwide Inc. and subsidiaries ("Old TMP"), Worldwide
Classified Inc. and subsidiaries ("WCI"), McKelvey Enterprises, Inc. and
subsidiaries ("MEI") and certain other entities under the control of Andrew J.
McKelvey (the "Principal Stockholder"). Immediately prior to the reorganization
the Principal Stockholder owned 100% of the common stock of MEI (which owned
approximately 86% of the common stock of Old TMP) and approximately 33% of the
common stock of WCI. In addition to his approximately 33% ownership of WCI, the
Principal Stockholder has voting proxy on the remaining outstanding shares of
WCI.
 
    WCI was organized in 1993 to sell recruitment advertising. Immediately prior
to the effectiveness of this offering, Old TMP, which sells yellow page
advertising, will merge into MEI. Thereafter, WCI will merge into MEI, MEI will
merge into Telephone Marketing Programs Incorporated and MEI will acquire the
outstanding minority interest of a subsidiary (the "Mergers").
 
   
    Due to the control of these companies by the Principal Stockholder, the
companies have been consolidated on a retroactive basis in a manner similar to a
pooling-of-interests, and upon the consummation of the Mergers, the interests
owned by the Principal Stockholder will continue to be carried at predecessor
basis, and (i) goodwill in the amount of approximately $2 million will be
recorded for the issuance of 271,278 shares of common stock of the Company to
Old TMP stockholders who had been previously issued shares of Old TMP in
exchange for their minority interests in certain operating subsidiaries in which
they were original owners and, accordingly, were considered to have made a
substantive investment, and is based on an assumed intial public offering price
of $14.50 per share (the midpoint of the range of the estimated initial public
offering price), less $2,178 previously recorded on issuance of these shares,
and (ii) special compensation in the amount of approximately $52 million will be
recorded for the issuance of 3,584,790 shares of common stock of the Company to
the Old TMP, WCI and the MEI subsidiary stockholders in exchange for their
shares in those companies which they had received for nominal or no
consideration, as employees or as management of businesses financed
substantially by the Principal Stockholder and, accordingly, were not considered
to have made substantive investments for their minority shares, and is based on
an assumed initial public offering price of $14.50 per share (the midpoint of
the range of the estimated initial public offering price). The minority
stockholders of Old TMP had received compensation in lieu of their share of
earnings of the Old TMP in exchange for waiving their rights to such earnings,
and WCI and the MEI subsidiary had cumulative losses. Accordingly, no amounts
were attributable to these minority interests in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
    
 
    The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the shares of the
Company that will be outstanding after the Mergers.
 
    In addition, in 1996, the Principal Stockholder sold or contributed to the
Company his majority interests, and in one case a 49% interest, in five
companies primarily engaged in yellow page and Internet-based advertising. Due
to the element of common control of these companies, all of these transactions
have been accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests and each
of the five companies has been included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements from their respective dates of

NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and all of its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity
method when the Company owns at least 20% but no more than 50% of such
affiliates. Under the equity method, the Company records its proportionate share
of profits and losses based on its percentage interest in earnings of companies
50% or less owned.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
primarily using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful
lives:

                                                                                            -----

    Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives or
the lives of the related leases, whichever is shorter.
 
INTANGIBLES
 
    Intangibles represent acquisition costs in excess of the fair value of net
tangible assets of businesses purchased and consist primarily of the value of
ongoing client relationships and goodwill. These costs are being amortized over
periods ranging from three to thirty years on a straight-line basis. Intangibles
are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable through the
estimated undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of these assets.
When any such impairment exists, the related assets will be written down to fair
value. This policy is in accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and

for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," which is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995. Adoption of this pronouncement did not have a
material impact on the financial statements.
 
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS
 
    The financial position and results of operations of the Company's foreign
subsidiaries (which are not material) are determined using local currency as the
functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated
at the exchange rate in effect at each year-end. Income statement accounts are
translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year.
Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from
period to period are included in the cumulative translation adjustment account
in stockholders' deficit. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency
transactions are included in other income (expense).
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND WORK IN PROCESS
 
    Substantially all revenues are derived from commissions for advertisements
placed in telephone directories, newspapers and other media, plus associated
fees for related services. In addition, the Company earns fees for the placement
of advertisements on the Internet, including its career Web sites. Commissions
and fees are generally recognized upon placement date for newspapers and other
media and on publication close date for yellow page advertisements.
 
    Direct operating costs incurred that relate to future revenue, principally
for yellow page advertisements, are deferred (recorded as work-in-process in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets) and are subsequently charged to
expense when the directories are closed for publication and the related
commission is recognized as income.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
    The provision (benefit) for income taxes is computed on the pretax income
(loss) based on the current tax law. Deferred income taxes are recognized for
the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of
assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end
based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates.
 
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK
 
    The Company operates in one business segment and primarily earns commission
income for selling and placing yellow page and recruitment advertising to a
large number of customers in many different industries, principally throughout
North America. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk are primarily accounts receivable. The Company
performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers and does not require
collateral. For the most part, the Company has not experienced significant
losses related to receivables from individual customers or groups of customers
in any particular industry or geographic area.

NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, miscellaneous receivables, accounts
payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value
because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
The carrying amount reported for long-term debt approximates fair value because,
in general, the interest on the underlying instruments fluctuates with market
rates. The carrying amounts for minority interests and redeemable preferred
stock approximate fair value based on appraisals in prior periods. The fair
values of the receivable from the Principal Stockholder and redeemable common
stock cannot be determined.
 
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
    In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". The Company has determined that it will continue to account for
employee stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board No. 25 and
elect the disclosure-only alternative under SFAS No. 123. The Company will be
required to disclose the pro forma net income or loss and per share amounts in
the notes to consolidated financial statements using the fair value based method
beginning in 1996. The Company has not determined the impact of these pro forma
adjustments.
 
EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON AND CLASS B COMMON STOCK
 
   
    (A) HISTORICAL
    
 
   
    Historical net income (loss) per common and Class B common share is computed
using the weighted average number of common, Class B common and common
equivalent shares outstanding, after reflecting the issuance of shares pursuant
to the Mergers immediately prior to this offering. Common equivalent shares from
stock options and warrants are excluded from the computation if their effect is
antidilutive, except that, pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Staff
Accounting Bulletins, common and common equivalent shares issued at prices below
the public offering price during the twelve months immediately preceding the
initial filing date have been included in the calculation as if they were
outstanding for all periods presented using the treasury stock method and the
assumed initial public offering price of $14.50 (the midpoint of the range of
the estimated initial public offering price).
    
 
   
    (B) PRO FORMA
    
 
   
    Pro forma net income per share is computed using pro forma net income and
the weighted average number of common, Class B common and common equivalent
shares outstanding, after reflecting the issuance of shares pursuant to the
Mergers immediately prior to this offering. Common equivalent shares from stock
options and warrants are excluded from the computation if their effect is
antidilutive, except that, pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Staff
Accounting Bulletins, common and common equivalent shares issued at prices below
the public offering price during the twelve months immediately preceding the

outstanding for all periods presented using the treasury stock method and the
assumed initial public offering price of $14.50 (the midpoint of the range of
the estimated initial public offering price).
    
 
   
    (C) SUPPLEMENTAL
    
 
   
    Supplemental net income per common and Class B common share for the year
ended December 31, 1995 was $.24. For this calculation, the weighted average
number of common and Class B common shares includes the number of shares whose
assumed sale at the assumed initial public offering price of $14.50 per share
would provide the proceeds needed to retire $45,000 of borrowings outstanding
under the Company's financing agreement; notes payable totaling $3,800; $3,200
to redeem the preferred stock of a subsidiary and $2,200 to redeem the Preferred
Stock of the Company, and the net income applicable to Common and Class B
stockholders was adjusted to exclude the related financing and interest expenses
of the debt.
    
 
UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
   
    In the opinion of the Company's management, the consolidated balance sheet
as of September 30, 1996, the consolidated statements of operations and cash
flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, and the
consolidated statement of stockholders' deficit for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein. The
results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for any other period.
    
 
STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
 
    For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments
with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The
Company has determined that the effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash
flows is not material.

NOTE 5 -- BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
 
   
    The Company has acquired 35 businesses (primarily recruitment advertising
businesses) between January 1, 1993 and September 30, 1996 including, on July 2,
1996, all of the outstanding shares of Neville Jeffress Australia Pty Limited
("Neville Jeffress"). Neville Jeffress had commissions and fees of approximately
$24,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996. The total amount of cash paid and
promissory notes issued for these acquisitions was approximately $8,743, $12,230
and $26,709 during 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $17,509 during the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. These acquisitions have been accounted for
under the purchase method. Accordingly, operations of these businesses have been
included in the consolidated financial statements from their acquisition dates.
    
 
   
    The summarized unaudited pro forma results of operations set forth below for
the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the nine months ended September
30, 1995 and 1996 assume the acquisitions in 1994 and 1995 and the nine months

    In addition, for the period October 1 through November 15, 1996, the Company
has also acquired one and entered into agreements to acquire or is probable of
acquiring a majority interest in three other unrelated companies, primarily
engaged in recruitment advertising, which had aggregate annual commissions and
fees of approximately $7,000. The aggregate purchase price for these
acquisitions is expected to be approximately $8,000.
    
 
   
    These acquisitions will be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. The excess of the acquisition costs over the fair value of net
tangible assets acquired, which is expected to be approximately $7,200, will be
amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 years.

NOTE 7 -- FINANCING AGREEMENT
 
    The Company obtains its financing from a financial institution under a
five-year financing agreement as amended and restated on June 27, 1996, and as
further amended on August 29, 1996, with automatic one-year extensions unless
terminated by either party at least 90 days prior to expiration of the initial
term or any renewal term (the "Agreement"). The Agreement provides for
borrowings of up to $100,000 at an interest rate of either: (a) prime rate or
1/2% over the Federal Funds Rate, whichever is higher, less 1% to plus 1% as
determined under the Agreement; or (b) LIBOR, plus 1 1/2% to 3 1/2% as
determined under the Agreement; at the borrower's option. Borrowings under the
Agreement are based on 90% of eligible accounts receivable, which are amounts
billed under 120 days old and amounts to be billed on an installment basis under
360 days old from first installment billing, as defined. Substantially all
assets of the Company are pledged as collateral for borrowings under the
Agreement. The Agreement contains certain covenants which restrict, among other
things, the ability of the Company to borrow, pay dividends, acquire businesses,
guarantee debts of others and lend funds to affiliated companies and contains
criteria on the maintenance of certain financial statement amounts and ratios,
all as defined in the Agreement. In addition, the Agreement also provides for a
0.50% fee on any unused portion of the commitment and a termination fee of
$3,000 through June 30, 1997 which is reduced annually thereafter. However, in
the event of an initial public offering, the termination fee is fixed at $1,000
for the life of the Agreement. At December 31, 1995, the Company was in
violation of certain of the covenants and financial ratios under a prior
agreement, which violations were waived by the lender.
 
   
    At September 30, 1996, the prime rate, Federal Funds Rate and one month
LIBOR were 8.25%, 6.38% and 5.44%, respectively, and borrowings outstanding were
at a weighted average interest rate of 7.98%.
    
 
   
    In October 1993, the Company issued a warrant to the lender to purchase one
percent of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company (as defined in
the agreement) for an exercise price of $.01 per share. The warrant is
exercisable in whole or in part only upon the closing of an initial public
offering of the Company's common stock and expires on December 31, 2000 (the
"Expiration Date"). The warrant was independently appraised at $600, which
amount is being amortized over the remaining term of the original financing
agreement of 30 months from October 1993. In the event that the warrant does not
become exercisable prior to the Expiration Date, the financial institution has a
right to surrender the unexercised warrant to the Company at any time thereafter
for $500. If the value of the shares covered by this warrant at the initial
public offering price is less than $1,000, then the Company is obligated to make
up the deficiency. In addition, in the quarter in which this offering is
completed, there will be an additional interest charge of approximately $2.7
million upon the exercise of such warrant to reflect the difference between the
value of the stock issued (228,739 shares) at the assumed initial public
offering price of $14.50 per share (the midpoint of the range of the estimated
initial public offering price) and the original amount recorded.

NOTE 9--MINORITY INTEREST
 
    In connection with an acquisition in 1990, a subsidiary of the Company
issued 88,425 shares of nonvoting convertible 10% cumulative preferred stock in
exchange for 88,425 shares (58%) of the outstanding common stock of the acquired
company held by the acquired company's employee stock ownership trust. The
preferred stock is callable by this subsidiary at $36.00 per share plus accrued
dividends and is subject to a put option on the shares of the subsidiary's
common stock exercisable by participants in the plan upon distribution and a put
option by the plan or participants. The redemption price with respect to the put
is the greater of $36.00 plus a call premium of $1.80 per share and any unpaid
dividends on the preferred stock or the fair market value of the subsidiary's
common stock, into which the

preferred stock may be converted. The conversion rate is equal to the number of
shares of the subsidiary's common stock which have a fair market value equal to
the number of shares of preferred stock. The respective fair market values would
be determined by an independent appraiser. The book value of these shares of
approximately $3,000, which approximates the redemption price, is included in
minority interest in the consolidated balance sheets. These shares are expected
to be redeemed upon the completion of this offering.
 
NOTE 10--REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
 
    During 1991, the Company sold 200,000 shares of 10.5% nonvoting cumulative
preferred stock ($10.00 par value) to the Company's profit sharing plan for
$2,000. The preferred stock is puttable by the holders and redeemable in an
amount equal to the par value plus a call premium of $.525 per share and any
unpaid cumulative dividends. There are certain restrictions, as defined,
regarding the maximum amount of shares which can be put to the Company in any
year. These shares are expected to be redeemed upon the completion of this
offering.
 
NOTE 11--STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT
 
STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
 
    In January 1996, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") adopted the
1996 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"), which provides for
the issuance of incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and nonqualified stock
options, to purchase an aggregate of up to 900,000 shares of the common stock of
the Company. The Stock Option Plan permits the granting of options to officers,
employees and consultants of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates.
 
    Under the Stock Option Plan, the exercise price of an incentive stock option
must be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on
the date of grant (110% of the fair market value in the case of options granted
to employees who hold more than ten percent of the voting power of the Company's
capital stock on the date of grant). The exercise price of a nonqualified stock
option must be not less than the par value of a share of the common stock on the
date of grant. The term of an incentive or nonqualified stock option is not to
exceed ten years (five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to
a ten percent holder). The Stock Option Plan provides that the maximum option
grant which may be made to an executive officer in any calendar year is 45,000
shares.
 
   
    On January 3, 1996, options to purchase an aggregate of 296,640 shares of
common stock were granted to officers, employees and consultants of the Company
at a purchase price equal to $6.65 per share, the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of grant as determined by the Board. Such options vest
at the rate of 25% of the original grant commencing one year after the date of
grant. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, 7,056 options were
cancelled. At September 30, 1996, none of the outstanding options were
exercisable.
    
 
    In January 1996, the Company also adopted a stock option plan for
non-employee directors (the "Directors' Plan"), pursuant to which options to
acquire a maximum aggregate of 180,000 shares of

NOTE 11--STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT (CONTINUED)
common stock may be granted to non-employee directors. Options granted under the
Directors' Plan do not qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code. The Directors' Plan provides for an automatic grant to
each of the Company's nonemployee directors of an option to purchase 11,250
shares of common stock on the date of such director's initial election or
appointment to the Board. The options will have an exercise price of 100% of the
fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, have a ten-year term
and become exercisable in accordance with a vesting schedule determined by the
Board of Directors.
 
   
    Options to purchase 11,250 shares of common stock at a purchase price per
share equal to $6.65 per share, the fair market value of the common stock on the
date of grant as determined by the Board, were granted on January 24, 1996 to
one non-employee director. Half of these options vested on the date of the grant
and the balance vests in 2 equal annual installments commencing one year after
the date of grant. In September 1996, options to purchase an aggregate of 33,750
of common stock were granted to three directors under this plan at an exercise
price per share equal to the initial public offering price per share, the fair
value on the date of grant as determined by the Board. Vesting is on terms
similar to that of the previous director's grant. At September 30, 1996, 22,500
options are exercisable.
    
 
STOCK OPTIONS
 
    In connection with an acquisition in 1995, the Company issued options to
acquire shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for a $400 obligation
of the Company incurred in connection with this acquisition. That obligation was
amended in September 1996 in consideration of the termination of a put option.
The number of shares to be acquired is determined by formula. Based on the
assumed initial public offering price of $14.50, the number of shares to be
issued will be 82,410. The option holders have given notice to exercise their
options on the closing of the public offering.
 
NOTE 12--RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
 
    During 1993, the Company recorded a charge of $1,318 for the restructuring
of its operations which consisted primarily of accruals for severance pay and
related items. As of December 31, 1995 such accruals were fully utilized.

    At December 31, 1995, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for
U.S. federal tax purposes of approximately $21,300 which expire through 2009.
The Company has concluded that, based on expected future results and the future
reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, it is more likely than not
that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

    Provision has not been made for U.S. or additional foreign taxes on
undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Those earnings have been and
will continue to be reinvested. These earnings could become subject to
additional tax if they were remitted as dividends, if foreign earnings were
loaned to the Company or a U.S. affiliate, or if the Company should sell its
stock in the foreign subsidiaries. It is not practicable to determine the amount
of additional tax, if any, that might be payable on the foreign earnings;
however, the Company believes that foreign tax credits would substantially
offset any U.S. tax. At December 31, 1995, the cumulative amount of reinvested
earnings was not material.

    The Company has a 401(k) profit sharing plan covering all eligible
employees. Employer matching contributions, which are a maximum of 2% of payroll
of participating employees, amounted to approximately $392, $368 and $584 for

$392 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
    
 
   
    In addition, the Company has a defined contribution profit sharing plan
covering all eligible employees. Contributions, which are at the discretion of
the Board of Directors, were not made in the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994
and 1995 and the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The Board does not
anticipate any contributions will be made in the future.
    
 
    (D) LITIGATION
 
    The Company is subject to various claims, suits and complaints arising in
the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of these legal matters
cannot be determined, it is the opinion of management that the final resolution
of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition, operations or liquidity.
 
    (E) OTHER
 
        (i) The Company is contingently liable on a note of the Principal
    Stockholder in the amount of approximately $1,600. In addition, a corporate
    asset is pledged as collateral for the repayment of this note.
 
        (ii) The majority stockholder of an unconsolidated equity investee has
    an agreement which requires the Company to purchase his interest, based on a
    formula value, upon death. The value of his shares at December 31, 1995 is
    approximately $4,000 based on the formula.
 
NOTE 15--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
   
    (A)  The Company has loaned three affiliates, in which the Principal
Stockholder of the Company is an equity owner, a total of $1,346, $258 and $658
at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and September 30, 1996, respectively.
    
 
   
    (B)  The Company has receivables from certain of its stockholders
aggregating $235, $500, and $311 at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and September 30,
1996, respectively.
    
 
   
    (C)  Receivables from its Principal Stockholder of $8,188, $6,530 and $9,490
at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and September 30, 1996, respectively, consist
primarily of noninterest-bearing advances. These advances are expected to be
paid in full promptly upon the completion of this offering.
    
 
   
    (D)  During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company entered
into an agreement with one of its stockholders which requires the Company to
repurchase such stockholders' common stock of the Company in the event that the
Company does not close an initial public offering of its common stock

during 1996. The purchase price for the shares is $1,172, to be paid in the form
of a note providing for 60 equal monthly payments beginning in February 1997.
This obligation is included in redeemable common stock at September 30, 1996. In
addition, in connection with the purchase of the minority interest in a
subsidiary, the Company issued 159,231 shares of Common Stock valued at $1,055.
These stockholders entered into agreements with the Company which provide that
upon death or termination of employment such shareholder is required to sell and
the Company is required to purchase the shares at a formula price, as defined in
the agreement. Such requirement to repurchase these shares expires upon an
initial public offering of the Company's common stock. Accordingly these shares
are included in redeemable common stock.
    
 
   
    (E)  In August 1996, the Company entered into an agreement whereby it
acquired the minority interest of a subsidiary for 46,350 shares of Common
Stock. Such shares, valued at $672 based on an assumed initial public offering
price of $14.50 per share (the midpoint of the range of the estimated initial
public offering price), were recorded as special compensation because the
stockholder had received his shares in the subsidiary for no consideration and
accordingly, was not considered to have made a substantial investment for the
minority shares. The agreement also provides that upon death or termination of
employment the stockholder is required to sell and the Company is required to
purchase the shares. Such requirement to repurchase these shares expires upon an
initial public offering of the Company's common stock. Accordingly these shares
are included in redeemable common stock.
    
 
   
    (F)  The Company charged management and other fees to affiliates for
services provided of approximately $550, $670, $873, $583, and $557 for the
years ended December 31, 1993, 1994, 1995 and the nine months ended September
30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
    
 
   
    (G)  In January 1994, the Company acquired a 50% interest in an agency
selling real estate advertising for $150,000. In connection with this
acquisition, the Company agreed to provide the agency with certain office and
administrative services which amounted to $685, $725, $547, and $657 in the
years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the nine months ended September 30,
1995 and 1996, respectively, in exchange for 50% of the agency's profits, as
defined in the agreement. The Company also entered into three-year employment
and consulting agreements with the two other stockholders of the agency and
granted them the right to convert their agency shares into Company shares after
an initial public offering. That conversion right, as amended, provides that
those two stockholders may convert 25% of the agency's stock into unregistered
common stock of the Company with a total value of $1,000 as of the effective
date of conversion. The conversion cannot be exercised prior to January 2, 1997.
    
 
   
    (H)  In 1994, the Principal Stockholder gave 374,940 shares of common stock
as compensation to certain employees. These shares were recorded at fair market
value of $55 on the date they were given, as determined by the Company. In 1996
the Company issued 142,740 shares of common stock as compensation to one
employee. These shares were valued at fair market value of $20 on the date they
were issued, as determined by the Company.
    
 
   
    (I)  The Company leases three offices from entities in which the Principal
Stockholder and other stockholders have between a 49% and 90% ownership
interest. Annual rent expense under these leases, which expire on various dates
through the year 2013, amounts to approximately $803. In addition an

NOTE 17--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
   
    (a) The Company plans to complete an underwritten Offering of 4,147,437
shares of its common stock.
    
 
   
    (b) In November 1996, an action was commenced against Old TMP, WCI and the
Principal Stockholder by a former employee. The complaint alleges, among other
things, that the defendants breached purported contractual obligations pursuant
to which the former employee was entitled to a 40% ownership interest in the
Company's recruitment advertising business, and breached fiduciary obligations
to the former employee arising out of the deprivation of his supposed 40%
interest. The former employee seeks damages in an unspecified amount and
punitive damages in the amount of $10 million for each claim. The Company and
the Principal Stockholder intend to vigorously contest the complaint. There can
be no assurance as to the outcome of the litigation and, in the event of a
decision adverse to the Company, the Company's business, financial condition and
operating results, and the Company's stockholders could be materially adversely
affected. The Principal Stockholder has agreed to indemnify the Company against
any adverse judgment. There can be no assurance, however, that the Principal
Stockholder will have sufficient financial resources to satisfy any
indemnification claims.

To the Board of Directors and Members of
Neville Jeffress Australia Pty Limited
 
SCOPE
 
   
    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Neville
Jeffress Australia Pty Limited (the "Company") as of 30 June 1996 and 30 June
1995, and the related consolidated statements of profit and loss, shareholder's
equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended (the "audit periods").
    
 
    These special purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Australia, are the
responsibility of the Company's management.
 
   
    Our responsibility is to conduct independent audits of the financial
statements for the audit periods in order to express an opinion on them based on
our audits.
    
 
   
    We conducted our audits in accordance with United States generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
    
 
    Our audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above
basis.
 
OPINION
 
   
    In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of Neville Jeffress
Australia Pty Limited for the audit periods present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries at 30 June
1996 and 30 June 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in Australia, as described in the financial statements.
    
 
   
Dated at Sydney, Australia, this 8th day of November 1996.

                         SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
 
    These consolidated financial statements are a special purpose financial
report prepared in order to meet the requirements of a registration statement to
be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
   
    These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in Australian
dollars in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
Australia. These include applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory
professional reporting requirements with the exception of AASB 1024:
Consolidated Accounts (see Principles of Consolidation). At June 30, 1996 the
exchange rate of Australian dollars to US dollars is .7875.
    
 
    The accounts have also been prepared on an accrual basis. They are based on
historical costs and do not take into account changing money values or, except
where specifically stated, current valuations of non-current assets.
 
    The accounting policies adopted have been consistently applied throughout
the periods presented.
 
   
    Generally accepted accounting principles in Australia ("Australian GAAP") as
utilized by the Company differs in certain respects from generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP"). With respect to the
Company's financial statements, these differences primarily relate to accounting
for business combinations. Under US GAAP, goodwill arising on acquisitions is
capitalized and amortized over its economic life while under Australian GAAP as
utilized by the Company, this goodwill is charged to operations in the year of
the acquisition. In addition, subsequent utilization of acquired net operating
losses is recorded as a reduction of income tax expense under Australian GAAP
while under US GAAP, it is recorded as an adjustment to assets purchased.
    
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
    The consolidated financial statements comprise the fully consolidated
financial information for Neville Jeffress Australia Pty Limited and its group
companies in which the company has majority control, with the exception of the
following companies:
 
Media Monitors Australia Pty Limited;
National Advertising Services Pty Limited; and
Neville Jeffress Newsagencies Pty Limited.
 
    These companies were not included at the effective date of the acquisition
of Neville Jeffress Australia Pty Limited and subsidiaries by TMP Worldwide Inc
("TMP"). Accordingly they do not form part of the group being acquired by TMP.
 
    The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of
those companies as set out in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
 
    The consolidated financial statements include the information contained in
the financial statements of Neville Jeffress Australia Pty Limited and each of
the entities in the group being acquired by TMP as from the date the company
obtains control until such time as control ceases.

<PAGE>
            NEVILLE JEFFRESS AUSTRALIA PTY LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
                         SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    The accounts of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as
the company, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring
into line any dissimilar accounting policies which may exist.
 
    All intercompany balances and transactions, between entities consolidated,
including unrealised profits and losses, have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
INVESTMENTS
 
    The company's interest in subsidiaries not forming part of the group of
companies acquired by TMP was not consolidated (see Principles of Consolidation
above), and has been included with associated entities at cost, and only
dividend income received is taken into earnings. Associated entities are those
in which the company holds a significant shareholding of the issued ordinary
capital and participates in commercial and policy decision making.
 
INVENTORIES
 
    Inventories, including work-in-progress, are valued at the lower of cost and
net realisable value.
 
RECOVERABLE AMOUNTS
 
    Assets are not revalued to an amount above their recoverable amount and,
where carrying values exceed this recoverable amount, assets are written down.
In determining the recoverable amount, the expected net cash flows have not been
discounted to their present value.
 
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
 
    COST AND VALUATION
 
    Property, plant and equipment are valued at cost or at independent
valuation. Decrements arising from revaluation have been debited to the profit
and loss account. Acquisitions since the last revaluation have been brought to
account at cost.
 
    Where assets have been revalued, the potential effect of the capital gains
tax on disposal has not been taken into account in the determination of the
revalued carrying amount where it is expected that a liability for capital gains
tax will arise.
 
    Any gain or loss on the disposal of revalued assets is determined as the
difference between the carrying value of the asset at the time of disposal and
the proceeds from disposal, and is included in the results of the group in the
year of disposal.
 
    DEPRECIATION AND AMORTISATION
    Buildings, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis so
as to write-off the cost or valuation of each asset over its anticipated useful
life.
 
Major depreciation periods are:
Freehold buildings - 40 years
Plant and equipment - 3 to 15 years

                         SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
INCOME TAX
 
    Tax-effect accounting is applied using the liability method whereby income
tax is regarded as an expense and is calculated on the accounting profit after
allowing for permanent differences. To the extent timing differences occur
between the time items are recognised in the accounts and when items are taken
into account in determining taxable income, the net related taxation benefit or
liability, calculated at current rates, is disclosed as a future income tax
benefit or a provision for deferred income tax. The net future income tax
benefit relating to tax losses and timing differences is not carried forward as
an asset unless the benefit is virtually certain of being realised.
 
   
    Where the earnings of overseas subsidiaries are subject to taxation under
the Controlled Foreign Companies rules, this tax has been provided for in the
accounts.
    
 
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
 
    TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
 
    Transactions in foreign currencies of entities within the group are
converted to local currency at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the
transaction.
 
    Amounts payable to and by the entities within the group that are outstanding
at the balance date and are denominated in foreign currencies have been
converted to local currency using rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet
date.
 
    TRANSLATION OF ACCOUNTS OF OVERSEAS OPERATIONS
 
    All overseas operations are deemed self-sustaining as each is financially
and operationally independent of Neville Jeffress Australia Pty Limited. The
accounts of overseas operations are translated using the current rate method and
any exchange differences are taken directly to the foreign currency translation
reserve.
 
LEASES
 
    Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the group substantially all of
the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are
capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments, disclosed as
leased property, plant and equipment, and amortised over the period the group is
expected to benefit from the use of the leased assets.
 
    Operating lease payments, where the lessor effectively retains substantially
all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased items, are included in
the determination of the operating profit in equal instalments over the lease
term.
 
EMPLOYEE ENTITLEMENTS
 
    Provision is made for employee entitlement benefits accumulated as a result
of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. These benefits include
wages and salaries, annual leave, and long service leave.
 
    Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, and any
other employee entitlements expected to be settled within twelve months of the
reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts. All other employee
entitlement liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated
future cash outflows to be made in respect of services provided by employees up
to the reporting date. In determining

<PAGE>
            NEVILLE JEFFRESS AUSTRALIA PTY LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
                         SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
the present value of future cash outflows, the interest rates attaching to
government guaranteed securities which have terms to maturities approximating
the terms of the related liability are used.
 
    Employee entitlement expenses and revenues arising in respect of the
following categories:
 
    - wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits, annual leave, long service
      leave, sick leave and other leave entitlements; and
 
    - other types of employee entitlements,
 
    are charged against profits on a net basis in their respective categories.
 
    Contributions are made by the group to employee defined contribution
superannuation funds. These contributions are charged as expenses when incurred.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
    Substantially all revenues are derived from commissions for advertisements
placed in newspapers, plus associated fees for related services. Commissions and
fees are generally recognized upon placement date.
 
CASH FLOW DEFINITIONS
 
    For the purpose of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the group
considers cash to include cash on hand and in banks and investments in money
market instruments readily convertible to cash within two working days, net of
outstanding bank overdraft.
 
GOODWILL
 
    Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair
value of identifiable net assets acquired at the time of acquisition of a
business or share in a subsidiary. It is written off to the profit and loss
account on acquisition.

           -- Media Monitors Australia Pty Limited and its controlled entities;
 
           -- National Advertising Services Pty Limited; and
 
           -- Neville Jeffress Newsagencies Pty Limited.

would have been to:

           -- Increase the dividends paid by $4,714,183; and

on 26 July 1996, confirming that the Media Accreditation System, in place since
1978 and under which the company derives the majority of its income, is to be
revoked, effective 3 February 1997. Sections of the media with which the company
deals, have already indicated a continuance of similar conditions under a
revised system. The directors foresee a continuance of operations in the
deregulated environment, although its is difficult to fully predict the impact
of the ACCC decision.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
    Rogers & Associates Advertising, Inc. (the "Company") has elected S
Corporation status for both federal and California income tax reporting
purposes. Under S Corporation status, income and expense flow directly to the
Company's shareholders and the Company generally has no federal income tax
liability for federal income tax reporting purposes. Under current California
laws, S Corporations are treated the same as for federal purposes, but are
liable for a nominal income tax rate at the corporation level.
 
    Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 7519, S Corporations that maintain
fiscal year-ends are required to make deposits with the Internal Revenue
Service. These deposits represent deferred tax, calculated based on personal
income tax rates, on revenue earned during the deferral period that will be
passed through to the Company's shareholders.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
    Revenues are derived from commissions for advertisements placed in
newspapers and other media, plus associated fees for related services.
Commissions and fees are recognized upon placement date of the related
advertisement.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
 
NATURE OF BUSINESS
 
    The Company was incorporated in the State of California in March 1981. The
Company provides recruitment and other advertising services through branch
offices in California, Texas, Florida and Illinois.
 
NOTE 2 -- COMMITMENTS
 
    The Company leases all of its branch facilities under long-term operating
leases which expire at various times through November 1999. The lease agreement
calls for the Company to pay for insurance and property taxes associated with
some of the facilities. Rent expense for the year ended March 31, 1994

NOTE 3 -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
    The Company maintains a profit sharing plan under Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). Under the plan, employees may elect to defer up
to fifteen percent of their salary, subject to Internal Revenue Service limits.
In addition, the plan allows for the Company to make discretionary contributions
based upon participants' salaries. The Company made approximately $12,700 and
$13,500 in contributions to the plan for the year ended March 31, 1994 and the
nine months ended December 31, 1994, respectively. In addition, the Company
maintains an employee benefit plan pursuant to Section 125 of the IRC, whereby
employees may elect to withhold pre-tax dollars to pay for certain health
insurance and/or other employee benefits.
 
NOTE 4 -- CREDIT RISK AND ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE
 
    Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk are primarily accounts receivable. The Company
performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers and does not require
collateral. The Company has not experienced significant losses related to
receivables from individual customers or groups of customers in any particular
industry or geographic area.
 
    A material part of the Company's business is performed for one customer.
Revenue earned from this customer represents approximately 20% of the Company's
total revenue and $460,880 of the Company's accounts receivable balance as of
December 31, 1994.
 
    At December 31, 1994, the Company has deposits with a financial institution
in excess of $100,000, the federally-insured limit.
 
NOTE 5 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
    On January 3, 1995, the Company sold substantially all of its assets for
$10,755,000 plus accounts payable and new equity (estimated at approximately
$3,000,000) to be paid over a period of three years.
 
    Prior to December 31, 1994, the Company received $300,000 related to an
option payment received from the purchaser, which will be recorded as revenue in
1995.

reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise,
against expenses, 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 the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful.
 
    Section 145(b) provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in
any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if he acted under standards similar to those discussed above, except that
no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine that despite the adjudication of liability, such person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the
Court shall deem proper.
 
    Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a
corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding
referred to in subsections (a) and (b) or in the defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith; that indemnification provided for by
Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the
indemnified party may be entitled; and that the corporation may purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against
any liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any such capacity or
arising out of his status as such whether or not the corporation would have the
power to indemnify him against such liabilities

under such Section 145. The Company's directors and officers are insured against
losses arising from any claim against them as such for wrongful acts or
omissions, subject to certain limitations.

persons, including officers, directors and controlling persons, to the fullest
extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The

directors and executive officers. Reference is made to the Bylaws and Form of
Indemnification Agreement filed as Exhibits 3.2 and 10.2.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
 
    A. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described above in Item 14, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Registrant by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
 
    B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
Underwriters at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement,
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by
the Underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
    C. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
        (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
    of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
    of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
    form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4)
    under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this
    registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
        (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
    Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
    prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
    the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
    time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Dear Sirs:

         TMP Worldwide Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), proposes
to issue and sell to the several Underwriters (as defined below) and certain
shareholders of the Company (the "Selling Shareholders") named in Schedule I
hereto severally propose to sell to the several Underwriters, an aggregate of
4,800,000 shares of the common stock (par value $.001 per share) of the Company
(the "Firm Shares"), of which 4,147,437 shares are to be issued and sold by the
Company and 652,563 shares are to be sold by the Selling Shareholders, each
Selling Shareholder selling the amount set forth opposite such Selling
Shareholder's name in Schedule I hereto.

         The Company (formerly known as Telephone Marketing Programs Inc.) is a
recently organized Delaware corporation which succeeded by mergers (the
"Mergers") to the businesses conducted by TMP Worldwide Inc. ("Old TMP"),
Worldwide Classified Inc. and McKelvey Enterprises Inc. (collectively, the
"Predecessor Companies") pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement
and Plan of Merger of Old TMP, Worldwide Classified Inc., McKelvey Enterprises
Inc. Inc. and Telephone Marketing Programs 

                                          1

<PAGE>

Inc. (the "Merger Agreement").  The Mergers occurred prior to the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement (as defined below).  

         It is understood that, subject to the conditions hereinafter stated,
3,840,000 Firm Shares (the "U.S. Firm Shares") will be sold to the several U.S.
Underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the "U.S. Underwriters") in connection
with the offering and sale of such U.S. Firm Shares in the United States and
Canada to United States and Canadian Persons (as such terms are defined in the
Agreement Between U.S. Underwriters and International Underwriters of even date
herewith), and 960,000 Firm Shares (the "International Shares") will be sold to
the several International Underwriters named in Schedule III hereto (the
"International Underwriters") in connection with the offering and sale of such
International Shares outside the United States and Canada to persons other than
United States and Canadian Persons.  Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated,
Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co.
Inc. shall act as representatives (the "U.S. Representatives") of the several
U.S. Underwriters, and Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited,  Donaldson,
Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. shall
act as representatives (the "International Representatives") of the several
International Underwriters.  The U.S. Underwriters and the International
Underwriters are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Underwriters. 

         The Company also proposes to issue and sell to the several U.S.
Underwriters not more than an additional 720,000 shares of the common stock (par
value $.001 per share) of the Company (the "Additional Shares") if and to the
extent that the U.S. Representatives shall have determined to exercise, on
behalf of the U.S. Underwriters, the right to purchase such shares of common
stock granted to the U.S. Underwriters in Section 3 hereof.  The Firm Shares and
the Additional Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Shares."
The shares of common stock (par value $.001 per share) of the Company to be
outstanding after giving effect to the sales contemplated hereby are hereinafter
referred to as the "Common Stock."  The Company and the Selling Shareholders are
hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the "Sellers."


         The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement, including a prospectus, relating to the
Shares.  The registration statement contains two prospectuses to be used in
connection with the offering and sale of the Shares:  the U.S. prospectus, to be
used in connection with the offering and sale of Shares in the United States and
Canada to United States and Canadian Persons, and the international prospectus,
to be used in connection with the 

                                          2

<PAGE>

offering and sale of Shares outside the United States and Canada to persons
other than United States and Canadian Persons.  The international prospectus is
identical to the U.S. prospectus except for the outside front cover page.  The
registration statement as amended at the time it becomes effective, including
the information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement at the
time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), is hereinafter referred to as the "Registration
Statement"; the U.S. Prospectus and the international prospectus in the
respective forms first used to confirm sales of Shares is hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Prospectus."  If the Company has filed an
abbreviated registration statement to register additional shares of Common Stock
pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the "Rule 462 Registration
Statement"), then any reference herein to the term "Registration Statement"
shall be deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement.

and not jointly, to purchase from such Seller at U.S.$______ a share (the
"Purchase Price") the number of Firm Shares (subject to such adjustments to
eliminate fractional shares as you may determine) that bears the same proportion

Shares set forth in Schedule II and III hereto opposite the name of such
Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares.

                                          8

<PAGE>

         On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to sell

have a one-time right to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to 720,000
Additional Shares at the Purchase Price.  If the U.S. Representatives, on behalf
of the U.S. Underwriters, elect to exercise such option, the U.S.
Representatives shall so notify the Company in writing not later than 30 days
after the date of this Agreement, which notice shall specify the number of
Additional Shares to be purchased by the U.S. Underwriters and the date on which
such shares are to be purchased.  Such date may be the same as the Closing Date
but not earlier than the Closing Date nor later than ten business days after the
date of such notice.  Additional Shares may be purchased as provided in Section
5 hereof solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments made in connection
with the offering of the Firm Shares.  If any Additional Shares are to be
purchased, each U.S. Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase
the number of Additional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate
fractional shares as the U.S. Representatives may determine) that bears the same
proportion to the total number of Additional Shares to be purchased as the

         The several obligations of the Underwriters are subject to the
following further conditions:

         (a)  Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
    prior to the Closing Date:

              (i)  there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any
         notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of
         any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction
         of the possible change, in the rating accorded any of the Company's
         securities by any "nationally recognized statistical rating
         organization," as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2)
         under the Securities Act; and

         and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the
         Prospectus (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto
         subsequent to the date of this Agreement) that, in your judgment, is
         material and adverse and that makes it, in your judgment,
         impracticable to market the Shares on the terms and in the manner
         contemplated in the Prospectus.

         (b)  The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date a

    applicable period specified in Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act any
    prospectus required to be filed pursuant to such Rule.

         (c)  If, during such period after the first date of the public
    offering of the Shares as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters
    the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales
    by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a
    result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in
    order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
    when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in
    the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or
    supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to
    prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the
    Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses you will furnish
    to the Company) to which Shares may have been sold by you on behalf of the
    Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or
    supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as
    so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when
    the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so 

                                          19

<PAGE>

    that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with law.

         (d)  To endeavor to qualify the Shares for offer and sale under the
    securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you shall reasonably
    request.

         (e)  To make generally available to the Company's security holders and
    to you as soon as practicable an earning statement covering the
    twelve-month period ending _____________ that satisfies the provisions of
    Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
    Commission thereunder.

         8.   EXPENSES.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Sellers agree to

"road show" undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering of the
Shares, including, without limitation, expenses associated with the production
of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged
in connection with the road show presentations with the prior approval of the
Company, travel and lodging expenses of the representatives and officers of the
Company and any such consultants, and the cost of any aircraft chartered in

disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters (including foreign local counsel)
in connection therewith, and (x) all other costs and expenses incident to the
performance of the obligations of the Sellers and the Predecessor Companies
hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section.  It is
understood, however, that except as provided in this Section, Section 9 entitled
"Indemnity and Contribution", and the last paragraph of Section 11 below, the
Underwriters will pay all of their costs and expenses, including fees and
disbursements of their counsel, stock transfer taxes payable on resale of any of
the Shares by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they
may make.

         The provisions of this Section shall not supersede or otherwise affect
any agreement that the Sellers and the Predecessor Companies may otherwise have
for the allocation of such expenses among themselves.

         9.   INDEMNITY AND CONTRIBUTION.  (a)  The Company agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities
(including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused
by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary
prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall
have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon
information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by
such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.

                                          21

<PAGE>

         (b)  Each Selling Shareholder agrees, severally and not jointly, to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, the Company's officers
who sign the Registration Statement, each Underwriter and each person, if any,
who controls the Company or any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section
15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any
and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation,
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or
investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus
(as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments
or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, but only with reference to information
relating to such Selling Shareholder furnished in writing by or on behalf of
such Selling Shareholder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any
preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto.

         (c)  Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, the Selling Shareholders, the directors of the
Company, the officers of the Company who sign the Registration Statement and
each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Shareholder within
the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such
action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof,
any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the
Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused
by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to
the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the
Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto.

         (d)  In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation)
shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 9, such person (the
"indemnified

                                          22

<PAGE>

party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be
sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon
request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the
indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and
disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding.  In any such
proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the
named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both
parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them.  It is understood that the indemnifying party
shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in
connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction,
be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in
addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters and all persons, if any, who
control any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, (ii) the fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company,
its directors, the Company's officers who sign the Registration Statement and
each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either such
Section and (iii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in
addition to any local counsel) for all Selling Shareholders and all persons, if
any, who control any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either such
Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are
incurred.  In the case of any such separate firm for the Underwriters and such
control persons of any Underwriters, such firm shall be designated in writing by
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated.  In the case of any such separate firm for
the Company, and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company,
such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company.  In the case of any
such separate firm for the Selling Shareholders and such control persons of any
Selling Shareholders, such firm shall be designated in writing by the persons
named as attorneys-in-fact for the Selling Shareholders under the Powers of
Attorney.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying
party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, if at any time

                                          23

<PAGE>

an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the
indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second
and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it
shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after
receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such
indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance
with such request prior to the date of such settlement.  No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

         (e)  To the extent the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a),
(b) or (c) of this Section 9 is unavailable to an indemnified party or
insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred
to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand
and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the
Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted
by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of
the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party
or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the
Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection
with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective
proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before
deducting expenses) received by each Seller and the total underwriting discounts
and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the
table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering
Price of the Shares.  The relative fault of the Sellers on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to

                                          24

<PAGE>

information supplied by the Sellers or by the Underwriters and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.  The Underwriters' respective obligations to
contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the
respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

         (f)  The Sellers and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just
or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by PRO
RATA allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (e) of this Section 9.  The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party
in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. 
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were
offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter
has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.  The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are
not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be
available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

         (g)  The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this
Section 9 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the
Company and the Selling Shareholders contained in this Agreement shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this
Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any
person controlling any Underwriter, any Selling Shareholder or any person
controlling any Selling Shareholder or the Company, its officers or directors or
any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any
of the Shares.

         10.  TERMINATION.  This Agreement shall be subject to termination by
notice given by you to the Company, if (a) after the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have
been suspended or

                                          25

<PAGE>

materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock
Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any securities of any of
the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter
market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York
shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or (iv)
there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any
change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is
material and adverse and (b) in the case of any of the events specified in
clauses (a)(i) through (iv), such event, singly or together with any other such
event, makes it, in your judgment, impracticable to market the Shares on the
terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

         11.  EFFECTIVENESS; DEFAULTING UNDERWRITERS.  This Agreement shall
become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

         If, on the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may
be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares
that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the
aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters
agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the
aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other
Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of
Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II and III
bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all
such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may
specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; PROVIDED
that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to
purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 11 by
an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written
consent of such Underwriter.  If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or
Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate
number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than
one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased, and
arrangements satisfactory to you, the Company and the Selling Shareholders for
the purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within 36 hours after such
default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any
non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Shareholders.  In any
such case either you or the relevant Sellers shall have the right

                                          26

<PAGE>

to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in
order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and in
the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.  If,
on the Option Closing Date, any U.S. Underwriter or U.S. Underwriters shall fail
or refuse to purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional
Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the
aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased, the non-defaulting U.S.
Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder
to purchase Additional Shares or (ii) purchase not less than the number of
Additional Shares that such non-defaulting U.S. Underwriters would have been
obligated to purchase in the absence of such default.  Any action taken under
this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting U.S. Underwriter from liability
in respect of any default of such U.S. Underwriter under this Agreement.

         If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of
them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of any Seller to comply with
the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any
reason any Seller shall be unable to perform its obligations under this
Agreement, the Sellers will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as
have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all
out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel)
reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or
the offering contemplated hereunder.

         12.  COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be signed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

         13.  APPLICABLE LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

         14.  HEADINGS.  The headings of the sections of this Agreement have
been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part
of this Agreement.

Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc.
c/o Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated
1585 Broadway
New York, NY  10036

Dear Sirs and Mesdames:

         The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated
("Morgan Stanley") proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the
"Underwriting Agreement") with TMP Worldwide Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and certain stockholders of the Company (the "Selling Stockholders")
providing for the public offering (the "Public Offering") by the several
Underwriters, including Morgan Stanley (the "Underwriters"), of up to _________
shares (the "Shares") of the Common Stock ($.001 par value per share) of the
Company (the "Common Stock"). 

         To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering
to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the
undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan
Stanley on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period commencing

Delaware corporation (the "Company"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (Commission File No. 333-12471), relating to the public offering of up
to an aggregate of 5,520,000 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock, par value
$.001 per share, of the Company, including 720,000 shares which may be purchased
by the underwriters if they exercise the option granted to them by the Company
to cover over-allotments, we, as counsel for the Company, have examined such
corporate records, other documents and questions of law as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

    Upon the basis of such examination, we advise you that in our opinion the
Shares have been duly and validly authorized; 656,563 of such Shares that will

consummation of the merger of various entities with and into the Company and/or
upon the exercise of options or warrants (in accordance with the terms of the
merger agreement or such option and warrants), will be legally issued, fully
paid and non-assessable, and the remainder of the Shares, when sold in the
manner contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement, upon receipt by the Company of payment therefor as
provided in such agreement, will be legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.

    We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in
the Prospectus contained therein and elsewhere in the Registration Statement and
Prospectus.  This consent is not to be construed as an admission that we are a

                                 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


         TMP WORLDWIDE INC. ("TMPW") and JAMES J. TREACY ("Treacy") enter into
this agreement as follows:

         1.   TMPW shall employ Treacy and Treacy agrees to serve as Executive
Vice President - Finance and Strategy of TMPW.  Treacy's employment shall
commence on the date hereof.  Treacy shall use his best efforts and devote all
of his professional time to the business and affairs of TMPW and its affiliates.
Employment shall be for an indefinite term on an at-will basis.  Either party
may terminate this employment relationship at any time, for any reason, with or
without cause.  In the event that the employment relationship is terminated, the
terms and conditions of Treacy's entitlements (if any) are as set forth in
Section 9 below.

         2.   Treacy will report to the President of TMPW and shall perform
such duties and responsibilities with respect to TMPW and its affiliates as
shall from time to time be reasonably directed by the President or TMPW's Board
of Directors.

         3.   TMPW shall pay Treacy, as compensation for services performed, an
annual salary at the rate of $200,000 and, in addition, an annual minimum bonus
of at least $35,000 payable at the end of each calendar year, pro-rated for
periods of less than a full year.  The annual salary and minimum annual bonus
payable to Treacy may, from time to time, be increased by TMPW in writing in its
sole discretion and, if and when increased, TMPW shall be obligated to pay
Treacy such sum in accordance with the terms of this agreement.

         4.   Treacy will receive those health and other employee fringe
benefits that all other senior executives of TMPW receive.  Such benefits and
benefit plans are subject to change at any time in the sole discretion of TMPW.
Treacy will also be entitled to participate in the TMPW 401(k) plan in the same
fashion as other senior executives of TMPW.

         5.   Treacy agrees that during his employment and at all times
thereafter, he will not use or disclose any confidential information, trade
secret or other proprietary information relating to TMPW or its affiliates that
is acquired by him during the course of his employment (whether before or after
the date of this agreement) and which is not generally know to others in the
industry.  Upon his termination, Treacy agrees to return to TMPW all records and
documents whether written, printed or electronically or magnetically recorded,
and all copies thereof, containing any information relating to TMPW or its
affiliates.

         6.   If Treacy's employment terminates for any reason, whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, he agrees that for a period of twelve months
following his termination, he will not solicit any active accounts of TMPW or
its affiliates or any prospective accounts that, during the twelve months
preceding termination, were, or were in the process of being, solicited by TMPW
or any of its affiliates.

         7.   Subject always to the right of TMPW to terminate the employment
of Treacy at will, Treacy's employment may terminate for any one of the five
categories of termination events set forth below:

<PAGE>

         (a)  Termination for "cause."  "Cause" shall mean (i) a material and
    intentional act of fraud, dishonesty, theft, or other form of moral
    turpitude involving TMPW or any of its affiliates and having the probable
    tendency to materially or adversely affect TMPW or any of its affiliates;
    (ii) a material and intentional failure or refusal to act in accordance
    with a reasonable, proper and lawful direction from the President or Board
    of Directors of TMPW, where such refusal to act continues for a period of
    three business days after actual receipt of written notice of such failure
    or refusal; (iii) indictment for a crime involving the property, business
    relationship or employees of TMPW or any of its affiliates; or (iv) a
    material and intentional breach of Treacy's duty of care or duty of loyalty
    to TMPW or any of its affiliates.

         (b)  Termination by reason of death.

         (c)  Termination by reason of disability.  "Disability" shall mean a
    physical or mental disability that prevents Treacy from performing the
    essential functions of Treacy's position for 180 calendar days in any
    nine-month period.

         (d)  Voluntary resignation.

         (e)  Termination for "other reasons."   "Other reasons" shall mean any
    reason other than "cause," death, "disability" or voluntary resignation.

         8.   Each party agrees to provide the other with reasonable notice of
termination, consistent with common business and professional customs to be
determined in the sole and unreviewable discretion of the party providing
notice.

         9.   Treacy shall have the following entitlements upon termination of
employment:

         (a)  In the event Treacy is terminated for "cause" or his voluntary
    resignation, he shall not be entitled to receive any further salary, bonus
    (or pro-rata bonus), or benefits from TMPW following the effective date of
    his termination of employment.

         (b)  In the event Treacy's employment is terminated by reason of his
    death, TMPW shall pay to his estate (i) a pro-rata portion of his minimum
    annual bonus payable as of his date of death; (ii) his then current salary
    for twelve months following his death; and (iii) his minimum annual bonus
    for the twelve-month period following his death.  The foregoing payments
    and entitlements shall be paid at such times as they would have been paid
    had he remained employed.  

         (c)  In the event Treacy's employment is terminated by reason of his
    "disability" of for "other reasons," he shall be entitled to receive: (i) a
    pro-rata portion of his minimum annual bonus, calculated as of the
    effective date of the termination of his employment; (ii) his then current
    salary for twelve months following the effective date of the termination of
    his employment; (iii) his minimum annual bonus for the 

                                         -2-

<PAGE>

    twelve-month period following the effective date of termination of his
    employment; and (iv) the benefits set forth in Section 4 for a period of
    twelve months following the effective date of termination of his
    employment, to the extent such benefits continue to be provided to other
    managerial employees of TMPW.  The foregoing payments, benefits and
    entitlements shall be paid at such times as they would have been paid had
    he remained employed.  Treacy's entitlement to items (ii), (iii) and (iv)
    of this subsection are subject to the provisions of subsection (d) and (e)
    below.

         (d)  In the event Treacy's employment is terminated by reason of
    "disability" or for "other reasons" Treacy is obligated, during the period
    when he is entitled to receive his then current salary and minimum annual
    bonus from TMPW, to use his best efforts to obtain alternative income
    directly or indirectly from the performance of personal services in a
    position consistent with his qualifications, experience and position with
    TMPW or prior position immediately preceding his employment by TMPW.  Any
    such payment made to Treacy of his then current salary and minimum annual
    bonus shall be reduced by the amount of income earned by him directly or
    indirectly from the performance of personal services during the period when
    he is entitled to receive his then current salary and minimum annual bonus
    from TMPW following termination, whether paid during that period or
    subsequently.  Treacy is obligated to advise TMPW in writing as to all such
    amounts of income (including but not limited to salary and bonus) earned by
    him during the period (and whether or not paid during that period or
    subsequently) each time he receives a payment of his then current salary or
    minimum bonus.

         (e)  TMPW shall have no obligation to provide Treacy with any employee
    benefits under subsection (c) above during any period of time when
    comparable benefits are made available to him by another employer.  In the
    event he is required to contribute money for any such comparable benefits
    available through another employer (or under the provisions of COBRA), TMPW
    may, at its option, either pay him the amount of any such contributions or
    provide him with TMPW-provided benefits at its cost.  As a condition of
    receipt of employee benefits from TMPW following termination of employment,
    Treacy is obligated to provide TMPW with written notice of the terms,
    conditions, and costs to him (if any) of all employee benefits made
    available to him by another employer during any period of time when he is
    entitled to receive such benefits from TMPW.

         10.  Treacy shall receive four weeks of annual paid vacation
calculated as of his date of hire and employment anniversary date.  Any unused
pro-rata portion of his annual paid vacation shall be paid to Treacy upon
termination of his employment for any reason.  Treacy shall not be entitled to
any carryover of unused vacation from year to year unless authorized at the time
in writing by the President or Board of Directors of TMPW.

         11.  All notices, demands or other communications to be given or
delivered under by reason of this agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been properly served if delivered personally, by courier, or by
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and first class postage
prepaid, in the case of notices to the Company to it at 1633

                                 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of November 15, 1996,
by and between TMP WORLDWIDE INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
ANDREW J. MCKELVEY ("Employee").

                                 PRELIMINARY RECITALS

         The Company desires that Employee be employed to serve in a senior
executive capacity with the Company, and Employee desires to be so employed by
the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in
this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:

         1.   EMPLOYMENT.

              1.1  ENGAGEMENT OF EMPLOYEE.  The Company agrees to employ
Employee and Employee agrees to accept employment as Chairman of the Board and
President of the Company, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement.

              1.2  DUTIES AND POWERS.  During the Employment Period (as defined
below), Employee will serve as Chairman of the Board and President of the
Company and will have such responsibilities, duties and authorities, and will
render such services of an executive and administrative character and act in
such other executive capacity for the Company and its affiliates (as defined 
below) as shall from time to time be reasonably directed by the Company's
board of directors (the "Board").  Employee shall devote Employee's best
efforts, energies and abilities and substantially all of Employee's business 
time, skill and attention to the business and affairs of the Company.  The
Company shall nominate Employee for election as a director of the Company for
all periods of Employee's employment hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Employee may engage in other activities so long as 
such activities do not unreasonably interfere with Employee's performance of
his duties hereunder.

              1.3  EMPLOYMENT PERIOD.  Employee's employment under this
Agreement shall begin on the date hereof and shall continue through and until
November 14, 2001 (the "Initial Employment Period").  Thereafter, the term of
this Agreement shall automatically be renewed for successive one year terms
(each, a "Renewal Period") unless either party shall give the other notice of
nonrenewal at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then current
Initial Employment Period or Renewal Period, as the case may be. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Initial
Employment Period and each Renewal Period are subject to termination pursuant to
SECTIONS 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 below.  The Initial Employment Period and all Renewal
Periods are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Employment
Period".

              1.4  TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY.  In addition to the nonrenewal
rights of the Company set forth in SECTION 1.3 hereof, the Company has the right
to terminate the Employment Period (and, consequently, Employee's employment
under this Agreement), by notice 


<PAGE>

to Employee in writing at any time, (i) for "Cause" or (ii) without Cause for
any or no reason, subject to the provisions of SECTION 2.2.  Any such
termination shall be effective upon the date of service of such notice pursuant
to SECTION 4.6.  

              "Cause" as used herein means the occurrence of any of the
following events:

              (a)  any repeated willful failure or refusal of Employee to
    perform Employee's duties that continues or shall not have ceased within 30
    days after the Board has given written notice to Employee specifying in
    reasonable detail the manner in which Employee has failed to perform such
    duties or comply with such directions; or

              (b)  conviction (which, through lapse of time or otherwise, is
    not subject to appeal) of (i) a felony or (ii) any crime involving moral
    turpitude.  

              1.5  TERMINATION BY EMPLOYEE.  In addition to the nonrenewal
rights of Employee set forth in SECTION 1.3 hereof, Employee has the right to
terminate the Employment Period (and, consequently, Employee's employment under
this Agreement) by ninety (90) days prior written notice to the Company for any
or no reason (a "Voluntary Termination").  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the Company may accelerate the effective date of a
Voluntary Termination to any date including, but not limited to, the date on
which notice is received by the Company.  Following a notice of Voluntary
Termination, Employee agrees to fulfill Employee's duties hereunder and shall
cooperate fully in completion and turnover of all matters involving Employee
until such termination becomes effective, unless otherwise consented to by the
Company.  

              1.6  ADDITIONAL TERMINATION.  The Employment Period shall
automatically terminate upon Employee's death or upon thirty days' written
notice from the Board in the event of Disability.  Employee shall be deemed to
have a "Disability" for purposes of this Agreement if Employee is unable to
perform, by reason of physical or mental incapacity, Employee's duties or
obligations under this Agreement, for a total period of 270 days in any 360-day
period. The Board shall determine, according to the facts then available,
whether and when the Disability of Employee has occurred.  Such determination
shall be made by the Board in the exercise of reasonable discretion.  

         2.   COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

              2.1  SALARY.  In consideration of Employee performing Employee's
duties under this Agreement, during the Employment Period, the Company will pay
Employee a base salary at a rate of one million five hundred thousand dollars
($1,500,000) per annum (the "Base Salary"), payable in accordance with the
Company's regular payroll policy for salaried employees.  If the Employment
Period is terminated pursuant to SECTION 1.4, SECTION 1.5 or SECTION 1.6 above,
then the Base Salary for any partial year will be prorated based on the number
of days elapsed in such year during which services were actually performed by
Employee, subject to the provisions of SECTION 2.2 below.  


                                         -2-

<PAGE>

              2.2  COMPENSATION AFTER TERMINATION.  

              (a)  If the Employment Period or this Agreement is terminated (i)
    by the Company for Cause, (ii) by Employee pursuant to a Voluntary
    Termination, or (iii) through expiration or nonrenewal of the Employment
    Period, then the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder or
    otherwise with respect to Employee's employment from and after the
    termination date (except payment of Employee's Base Salary and benefits
    described in SECTION 2.3 hereof, including but not limited to mandatory
    bonuses, in each case which have accrued through the date of termination or
    expiration), and the Company shall continue to have all other rights
    available hereunder.  If the Employment Period or this Agreement is
    terminated by virtue of Employee's death or Disability, then the Company
    shall have no further obligations hereunder or otherwise with respect to
    Employee's employment from and after the termination date (except payment
    of Employee's Base Salary and benefits described in SECTION 2.3 hereof,
    including but not limited to mandatory bonuses, through the date which is
    one hundred eighty (180) days after such termination) and the Company shall
    continue to have all other rights available hereunder.  

              (b)  If the Employment Period is terminated by the Company
    without Cause, Employee shall be entitled to receive as severance pay (i)
    Employee's Base Salary hereunder, and (ii) the benefits described in
    SECTION 2.3 hereof, including but not limited to mandatory bonuses, in each
    case for the period of time which would have been remaining in the Initial
    Employment Period or the Renewal Period, as the case may be, in absence of
    such termination, payable at such times and in such manner as would have
    been the case had Employee remained employed hereunder.  

              2.3  OTHER BENEFITS.

              (a)  VACATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS.    During the Employment
    Period, Employee shall be entitled to such vacations and to participate in
    and receive any other fringe benefits customarily provided by the Company
    to its senior management personnel, including but not limited to
    hospitalization and health and disability insurance to the extent offered
    by the Company.  

              (b)  BUSINESS EXPENSES.  During the Employment Period, the
    Company will reimburse Employee in accordance with Company policy for
    Employee's normal out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the course of
    performing Employee's duties hereunder.  Employee shall provide the Company
    with all receipts and documentation supporting such expenses as may
    reasonably be requested by the Company.

              (c)  MANDATORY BONUSES.  With respect to each three month period
    of the Employment Period, Employee shall be entitled to and shall be paid a
    mandatory non-discretionary bonus of three hundred seventy-five thousand
    dollars ($375,000), payable no later than the last day of the three month
    period to which it relates.  



                                         -3-

<PAGE>

              2.4  TAXES, ETC.  All compensation payable to Employee hereunder
is stated in gross amount and shall be subject to all applicable withholding
taxes, other normal payroll deductions and any other amounts required by law to
be withheld.

         3.   CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  During the term of this Agreement and
thereafter, Employee shall keep secret and retain in strictest confidence, and
shall not, without the prior consent of the Board, furnish, make available or
disclose to any third party or use for the benefit of Employee or any third
party, any Confidential Information.  As used in this SECTION 3, "Confidential
Information" shall mean any trade secret, proprietary or confidential
information relating to the business or affairs of the Company, the Business,
any Other Business, or the Company's affiliates, including but not limited to
information relating to financial statements, customer identities, potential
customers, employees, suppliers, servicing methods, equipment, programs,
strategies and information, analyses, profit margins or other trade secret,
proprietary or confidential information used by the Company or its affiliates,
including, without limitation, computer, software, hardware and related
information; provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include
any information which is in the public domain or becomes known in the industry
through no wrongful act on the part of Employee.  Employee acknowledges that the
Confidential Information is vital, sensitive, confidential and proprietary to
the Company and/or its affiliates.  As used in this Agreement, the term
"affiliate" shall have the meaning ascribed to that term in Rule 405 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and shall include each past and present
affiliate of such person or entity.  If this Agreement or the Employment Period
expires or is terminated for any reason, then, notwithstanding such termination,
the provisions contained in this SECTION 3 shall remain in full force and
effect.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in this
SECTION 3 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the business
interests of the Company and its affiliates, that irreparable injury will result
to the Company and its affiliates if Employee breaches any of the terms hereof
and that in the event of Employee's actual or threatened breach of any such
terms, the Company and its affiliates may have no adequate remedy at law. 
Employee accordingly agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened breach
by Employee of any of the terms of this SECTION 3, the Company and its
affiliates shall be entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance and
other equitable relief, without bond and without the necessity of showing actual
monetary damages, subject to hearing as soon thereafter as possible.  Nothing
contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company and its
affiliates from pursuing any other remedies available to them for such breach or
threatened breach, including but not limited to the recovery of damages.  

         4.   MISCELLANEOUS.

              4.1  ASSIGNMENT.  All covenants and agreements contained in this
Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to
the benefit of the respective legal representatives, heirs, successors and
assigns of the parties hereto, whether so expressed or not.
