NOTE 1-BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The consolidated condensed interim financial statements included herein
have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.

        These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair
presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these
consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. The Company follows the same
accounting policies in preparation of interim reports.

        Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of
annual results.

        Primary earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of
common, Class B common and common share equivalents outstanding during each
period.

NOTE 2-BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

        The Company acquired seven recruitment advertising businesses, including
Austin Knight Limited and Subsidiaries, and one yellow page business during the
nine month period ended September 30, 1997. During the year ended December 31,
1996, the Company acquired thirteen recruitment advertising companies. The total
value of cash paid, promissory notes issued, and common stock issued for these
acquisitions was approximately $74,279 and $25,358 for the 1997 and 1996 periods
respectively.

        The acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Austin Knight Limited
and subsidiaries ("Austin Knight") for approximately $47,200, net of
approximately $11,500 of cash acquired relating to the sale of real property by
Austin Knight, was completed in August 1997, For the year ended September 30,
1996, Austin Knight had annual gross billings of approximately $213,800 and
commissions and fees of approximately $47,600.

        The summarized unaudited pro forma results of operations set forth below
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 assume that the
acquisitions completed in 1996 and the first nine months of 1997 occurred as of

the beginning of each of these periods and include expenses for amortization of
intangible assets acquired and interest on funds borrowed in connection with
such acquisitions, except for the acquisition of Austin Knight which was funded
by a portion of the proceeds from the common stock offering completed on
September 16, 1997.

NOTE 3-SUPPLEMENTAL NET INCOME

        Supplemental net income per common share and Class B common share for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $.33 compared with a historical
income of $.31. For this calculation, the weighted average number of common and
Class B common shares includes the number of shares whose sale in the follow-on
offering completed on September 16,1997 at a price of $23.00 per share would
provide the proceeds to retire the $4,240 of revolving credit borrowings as well
as the net $47,200 borrowed to acquire Austin Knight from the beginning of the
period (or the date the debt was incurred) to the respective retirement date. In
addition, net income applicable to common and Class B common stockholders was
adjusted to exclude the related interest expense.

        Supplemental net income per common share and Class B common share for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $.08 compared with a historical
loss of $(.00). For this calculation, the weighted average number of common and
Class B common shares includes the number of shares (i) whose sale at the
initial public offering price of $14.00 per share would provide the proceeds
needed to retire $41,600 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 (ii)
whose sale in the follow-on offering price at $23.00 per share would provide the
proceeds to retire the $4,240 of borrowings as well as the net $47,200 borrowed
to acquire Austin Knight, from the beginning of the period (or the date the debt
was incurred) to the respective retirement date. In addition, net income

applicable to common and Class B common stockholders was adjusted to exclude the
related minority interest costs, preferred dividends and interest expense of the
items retired.

NOTE 4-REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

cumulative preferred stock ($10.00 par value) to the Company's profit sharing

$2,105, which included a redemption premium of $105.


NOTE 5-STOCK OPTIONS

        On January 6, 1997 options to purchase, at an exercise price of $12.88,

NOTE 7-LITIGATION SETTLED

        In November 1996, an action was commenced against Old TMP, WCI and the
Principal Stockholder by a former employee alleging, among other things that the
defendants breached purported contractual and fiduciary obligations pursuant to
which the former employee was entitled to an ownership interest in the Company's
recruitment advertising business. In June 1997, this matter was settled for
$275, which was paid by the Principal Stockholder under an indemnity agreement
with the Company.

NOTE 8 - COMPLETION OF FOLLOW-ON OFFERING

         In September 1997, the Company sold 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock to

portion of its outstanding indebtedness, including the amount borrowed from its
primary lending facility for the acquisition of Austin Knight.

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 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 leading 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 285 of the Fortune 500
companies. A substantial part of the Company's growth has been achieved through
acquisitions. Given the significant number of acquisitions, the results of
operations from period to period are not comparable.

        Gross billings refer to billings for advertisements 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. In addition, the Company
earns fees for the placement of advertisements on the Internet, primarily its
career Web sites.

        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 addition to base commissions
certain yellow page publishers pay increased commissions for targeted increases
in volume placed by advertising agencies. The Company typically recognizes this
additional commission, if any, in the fourth quarter when it is certain that the
additional commission has been earned. For recruitment advertising placed in the
U.S., publisher commissions average 15% of recruitment gross billings. The
Company also earns fees for value-added services such as design, research and
other creative and administrative services resulting in aggregate commissions
and fees equal to approximately 20% 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 where, collectively the Company derives approximately 58% of its
recruitment commissions and fees on a pro forma basis, which includes the
acquisition of Austin Knight.

        In 1996, the Company completed thirteen acquisitions, all of which are
in recruitment advertising, for an aggregate purchase price of $23.8 million,
net of cash acquired. Included in these acquisitions was Neville Jeffress
Australia Pty Limited ("Neville Jeffress"), a large recruitment advertising
agency in Australia.

        For the first nine months of 1997, the Company completed eight
acquisitions, seven of which are in recruitment advertising and one of which is
yellow page advertising, for an aggregate purchase price of

Overview  (Continued)

approximately $60.0 million, net of cash acquired, including, in August 1997,
the acquisition of Austin Knight Limited and subsidiaries ("Austin Knight"). For
the year ended September 30, 1996, Austin Knight had annual gross billings of
approximately $214.0 million. Austin Knight is the largest recruitment
advertising agency in the U.K. and the fifth largest recruitment advertising
agency in the U.S. With the acquisition of Austin Knight, the Company has
strengthened its position as the third largest recruitment advertising agency in
the U.S. and has become the largest recruitment advertising agency in the U.K.

Three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1996

         Gross billings for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were

$298.4 million, a net increase of $61.9 million or 26.2% from $236.5 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1996. Commissions and fees for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 were $66.7 million, an increase of $18.5 million
or 38.4% from $48.2 million in the comparable three months of 1996. Yellow page
commissions and fees were $28.6 million for the three months ended September 30,
1997 an increase of $.8 million or 3% from $27.8 million in the comparable three
months of 1996. Recruitment commissions and fees were $33.4 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 compared with $18.4 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $15.0 million or 81.2%. This
increase was primarily due to acquisitions and approximately $2.6 million was
due to net increases in client spending and new clients. Internet commissions
and fees increased 137.6% to $4.7 million for the three months ended September
30, 1997 from $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. For
September 1997, web traffic as measured by Nielsen IPRO, for the Company's two
major career web sites (The Monster Board(R) and Online Career Centersm), was
2.1 million visits compared with 1.3 million visits for March 1997 (the first
month for which comparable statistics are available). In addition, Meter
Metrix/PC Meter's September ratings reported that The Monster Board(R) is the
Worldwide Web's top ranked career site. The increases in Internet revenue and
visits reflect an increasing acceptance of the Company's Internet services and
products from existing and new clients and Internet users, and the benefits of
"co-branding" marketing efforts with other Internet content providers.

          Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were
$56.4 million, compared with $44.9 million for the same period in 1996. The
increase of $11.5 million or 25.6% reflects acquisition activity, including a
$.4 million increase for amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions,
growth in client service expenditures to support the increased revenue base and
increased spending for sales staff and marketing and product identity efforts
for The Monster Board(R) and Online Career Centersm. These factors were
partially offset by increases in efficiencies of scale as operating expenses as
a percentage of commissions and fees declined 8.6 percentage points to 84.6% for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to 93.2% in the prior year
period. In addition, the 1996 period includes a charge of $672,000 in special
compensation, which is a non-cash, non-recurring charge that reflects the value
of shares issued in connection with the acquisition of a minority interest in a
subsidiary because the stockholder had received his shares in such subsidiary
for no consideration and, accordingly, was not considered to have made a
substantive investment for his shares.

         As a result of the above, operating income for the three months ended 
September 30, 1997 increased $7.0 million or 213.5% to $10.3 million from $3.3
million for the comparable period last year.

         Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was
$2.4 million, a decrease of $.4 million or 13.8%, reflecting a net reduction in
debt resulting from the use of the proceeds of the Company's initial and
secondary public offerings, which closed December 1996 and September 1997,
respectively, and income on loans to the Company's Principal Stockholder, which
began accruing interest effective January 1, 1997, partially offset by
borrowings for acquisitions.

         Taxes on income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were $3.7
million on a $7.9 million pretax profit compared with a tax expense of $.7

million on a $37,000 pretax profit for the same period last year. The effective
tax rate for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 was 46.9% down
significantly from the 1,960% effective rate for the comparable period in 1996.
The 1997 rate reflects the Company's ability to file a consolidated Federal Tax
return with certain U.S. companies as a result of the Mergers which occurred on
December 9, 1996, whereas the 1996 amounts reflect the Company's inability to
file a consolidated Federal Tax return with such entities. Consequently, for
1996, tax benefits on certain pretax losses were not recognizable.

         Minority interests in consolidated earnings for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 was $29,000 decrease of $88,000 from the $117,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1996. In addition, there was no preferred
dividend payment for the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared with
$53,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. Both improvements reflect
the redemptions in January, 1997 by the Company of the underlying preferred
stock.

                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

         As a result of all of the above, net income available to common and
Class B common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 1997
increased $4.9 million to $4.1 million from a loss of $(.8) million for the
three months ended September 30, 1996.


Nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the nine months ended September
30, 1996

         Gross billings for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $758.0
million a net increase of $185.2 million or 32.3% from $572.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. Commissions and fees for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 were $167.3 million, an increase of $48.4 million or
40.8% from $118.9 million in the comparable period in 1996. Yellow page
commissions and fees were $71.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 compared with $71.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
Recruitment commissions and fees were $83.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 compared with $43.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, an increase of $39.6 million or 91.4%. This increase was
primarily due to acquisitions and approximately $7.5 million in net increases in
client spending and new clients net of the effects of client losses. Internet
commissions and fees increased $8.6 million or 200.6% to $12.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $4.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, reflecting an increasing acceptance of the Company's
Internet products from existing and new clients, and the benefits of
"co-branding" marketing efforts with other Internet content providers.

          Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were

$146.0 million, compared with $108.8 million for the same period in 1996. The
increase of $37.2 million or 34.2% reflects acquisition activity, including $1.2
million for higher amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, growth
in client service expenditures to support the increased revenue base sales staff
and marketing and product identity efforts for The Monster Board(R) and Online
Career Centersm. Operating expenses as a percentage of commissions and fees were
87.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to 91.6% in the
prior year period. In addition, the 1996 period includes a charge of $672,000 in
special compensation, which is a non-cash, non-recurring charge that reflects
the value of shares issued in connection with the acquisition of a minority
interest in a subsidiary because the stockholder had received his shares in such
subsidiary for no consideration and, accordingly, was not considered to have
made a substantive investment for his shares.

         As a result of the above, operating income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 increased $11.3 million or 112.2% to $21.3 million from $10.0
million for the comparable period last year.

         Net interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
$6.4 million, a decrease of $2.2 million or 25.2%, reflecting a net reduction in
debt resulting from the use of the proceeds from the Company's initial and
secondary public offerings, which closed December 1996 and September 1997,
respectively, and interest earned on loans to the Company's Principal
Stockholder, partially offset by borrowings for acquisitions.

         Taxes on income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $7.0
million compared with $1.7 million for the same period last year an increase of
$5.3 million or 322.7% as a result of higher pretax profits in the 1997 period
and, during 1996, the inability of the Company to offset profits of certain
subsidiaries with losses of others because they were not then part of the same
consolidated tax return as evidenced by an effective tax rate of 47.2% for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1997 compared with an effective tax rate
of 117.9% for the same 1996 period.

         Minority interest in consolidated earnings for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 was $256,000 down $87,000 from the $343,000 for the prior
year period and preferred dividends for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
of $123,000 were $35,000 below the $158,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996. The lower 1997 amounts have resulted from the redemptions of the
underlying instruments in the first quarter of 1997.

         As a result of all of the above, net income available to common and
Class B common stockholders for the

nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $7.4 million, as compared to a pro
forma loss, after adding back the $672,000 Special Compensation, of $(25,000)

for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 was $14.8 million compared with $14.1 million provided by
operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Funds
provided by the increases in net income and non-cash charges to earnings and
increased collections of accounts receivable were substantially offset by higher
payments of accounts payable. These higher payments were made to yellow page
vendors in the first quarter of 1997 in order to eliminate high rate interest on
past due balances. These payments were made possible by the use of funds from
the initial public offering in December 1996. EBITDA was $30.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 an increase of $15.3 million or 97.6% from
$15.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and as a percentage
of commissions and fees, EBITDA was 18.5% for the nine months ended September
30, 1997, an improvement of 5.2 percentage points when compared with 13.2% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in EBITDA resulted from a
higher operating profit and higher non-cash charges, such as deferred income tax
expense and depreciation and amortization in 1997.

         The Company's investing activities for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 used cash of $58.1 million compared with $21.0 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. The $37.1 million increase was primarily due to
$40.1 million more in acquisitions, and includes the $47.2 million for the
acquisition of Austin Knight Ltd., and $8.8 million more for capital
expenditures when compared with payments made for the same period in 1996
partially offset by net loan repayments in September of 1997 of $12.1 million
from the Principal Stockholder with funds from his sale of shares in the
Company's secondary public offering.

         The Company's financing activities include borrowings and repayments
under its bank financing agreements, issuance of and payments against
installment notes used principally to finance acquisitions and equipment and,
prior to 1997, loans to the Principal and certain other stockholders. The
Company's financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
provided net cash of $45.0 million, compared with $10.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. The change of $34.5 million was primarily due
to the receipt of the net proceeds from the Company's sale of 2,400,000 shares
of Common Stock to the public at an offering price of $23.00. The Company used
the net proceeds received from the offering as well as the proceeds received
from certain selling stockholders to repay a portion of its outstanding
indebtedness, including the amount borrowed from its primary lending facility
for the acquisition of Austin Knight.

         At September 30, 1997, the Company had $131 million in committed lines
of credit, with $100 million from its primary lending facility pursuant to a
revolving credit agreement expiring June 30, 2001. The Company is in the process
of securing an additional $75 million commitment from the primary lender,
however, there can be no assurance that such commitment will be given. Of the
committed lines, $13.1 million was unused at September 30, 1997.

         Cash and cash  equivalents at September 30, 1997 equaled $2.5 million, 
an increase of $1.6 million from $.9 million at December 31, 1996.


Management believes that the aggregate lines of credit available to the Company,
plus funds provided by operations will be adequate to support its short-term
cash requirements for acquisitions, capital expenditures, repayment of debt and
maintenance of working capital. The Company anticipates that future cash flows
from operations plus funds available under existing line of credit facilities
will be adequate to support the long term cash requirements as presently
contemplated.
