"WE," "US" AND "OUR," WHEN USED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, REFER TO TMP WORLDWIDE INC.
AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES.
We have built Monster.com(SM) (http://www.monster.com) into the Internet's
leading career destination portal. We are also one of the world's largest
recruitment advertising agencies and one of the world's largest executive search
and selection firms. In addition to offering these career solutions, we are the
world's largest yellow page advertising agency. We have more than 31,000
clients, including over 90 of the Fortune 100 and over 480 of the Fortune 500
companies.
Job seekers look to manage their careers through us by posting their resumes
on Monster.com(SM), by searching Monster.com's(SM) database of over 395,000 paid
job postings, either directly or through the use of customized job search
agents, and by utilizing our extensive career resources. In addition, employers
who are our clients, look to us to help them find the right employee, whether
they are searching for an entry level candidate or a CEO, which we refer to as
our "intern to CEO" strategy. We believe the Internet offers a substantial
opportunity for us to grow our revenue. We believe our growth will primarily
come from strengthening our leadership position in the online recruitment
market, which is estimated by Forrester Research to grow from $411 million in
1999 to $3.2 billion in 2004, with additional revenue
4
<PAGE>
growth opportunities from the $8 billion executive search and selection market,
the $13 billion global recruitment advertising market, the $130 billion
temporary contracting market and the more than $100 billion which third parties
estimate corporations spend on unassisted recruiting activities. Our strategies
to address this opportunity are to:
- continue to promote the Monster.com(SM) brand through online and
traditional advertising and select alliances or affiliations
- leverage our more than 5,100 client service, marketing and creative
personnel to expand Monster.com(SM)
- continue to pursue strategic acquisitions
OUR SERVICES
MONSTER.COM(SM). Monster.com(SM) (http://www.monster.com), the flagship of
our Internet properties, is the nucleus of our intern to CEO strategy. In May
2000:
- Neilson I/Pro reported that Monster.com(SM) attracted more than 15.2
million visitors who spent an average of over 16.0 minutes per visit
- Media Metrix reported that 5.2% of the U.S. Internet population visited
Monster.com(SM) and that an average of 38.1 unique pages were viewed by
each visitor
- Based on Media Metrix statistics, Monster.com(SM) reported a power ranking
of 198.1 (reach of 5.2 multiplied by average page views of 38.1), compared
to 23.6 for its closest competitor and 109.3 for its six closest
competitors combined
We believe that the power ranking is significant because, by taking into
account reach and page views, it indicates the products' recognition by and
usefulness to job seekers. As a result, through Monster.com(SM), our clients
have access to over 4.2 million unique resumes of which 2.9 million are active,
and our resume database is growing by an average of more than 13,000 resumes
daily. To attract job seekers to Monster.com(SM), we continue to refine and
refresh the site by introducing value-added features. For example, we have
3.2 million job search agents, which allow our job seekers to express their
specific job preferences and receive e-mail notification of job matches, and
8.1 million My Monster job seeker accounts, which allow job seekers to manage
their careers online. We have also recently introduced Monster Talent Market,
which allows independent contractor professionals to offer their services to the
highest bidder. We believe our clients have recognized the value of online
recruitment, as evidenced by the more than 395,000 paid job postings currently
on Monster.com(SM).
Although Monster.com(SM) had 213,000 more unique visitors than its nearest
competitor in May 2000, as reported by Media Metrix, we continually look for
ways to drive and retain site traffic. To that end, in December 1999, we entered
into a content and marketing agreement with America Online, Inc. ("AOL")
whereby, for the payment of $100 million over four years, Monster.com(SM) will
be the exclusive provider for four years in the United States and Canada of
career search services to 21 million AOL users across seven AOL brands: AOL, AOL
Canada, Compuserve, ICQ, AOL.com, Netscape and Digital City. We believe that
this agreement has the potential to drive a substantial amount of increased
traffic and new users to Monster.com-SM-. We also customize Monster.com(SM), in
both language and content, for other countries. Currently, local versions of
Monster.com(SM) operate in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands,
Australia, Belgium, France, Singapore, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Germany and
Ireland. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, Monster.com(SM) generated
approximately $58.9 million in gross billings and $58.1 million in commissions
and fees. Our total Internet gross billings and Internet commissions and fees
for this period were $80.4 million and $70.8 million, respectively, reflecting
the inclusion of amounts from Internet related services from our traditional
recruitment and yellow page advertising clients, as well as from searches for
permanent employees and temporary contracting services identified and screened
through the Internet, which were $5.8 million, $2.4 million, $2.1 million and
$2.4 million, respectively.
5
<PAGE>
RECRUITMENT ADVERTISING. We prospect talent for our clients through
traditional recruiting programs that sell, market and brand employers to job
seekers searching for entry level positions to positions paying up to $100,000,
annually. We provide a broad range of recruitment advertising services
including:
- planning and producing advertising campaigns
- media research, planning and buying in both traditional media and on the
Internet
- planning and executing on-campus recruitment programs
EXECUTIVE SEARCH. We offer an advanced and comprehensive range of executive
search services aimed at identifying the appropriate executive for our clients.
Our executive search service identifies senior executives who typically earn in
excess of $250,000 annually. We entered the executive search field in 1998
because recruitment and online advertising traditionally did not target the
senior executive candidate.
SELECTION AND TEMPORARY CONTRACTING. The mid-market selection business
fills a critical niche in our "intern to CEO" strategy by identifying for our
clients those professionals, below the CEO level, who typically earn between
$50,000 and $150,000. We believe that Monster.com-SM- is an excellent resource
for serving this market and we are building a large database of mid-market
resumes. We have also identified a suite of products geared toward this market
which seek to predict whether a candidate will be successful in a given role.
Temporary contracting supplements our selection services. We place employees,
ranging from executives to clerical workers, in temporary situations for as
little as one day to over 12 months. Contractors can be used for emergency
support or to complement the skills of a client's own staff. Temporary
contracting can also be linked to permanent placement with the client employing
a "try before you buy" strategy.
YELLOW PAGE ADVERTISING. We develop yellow page marketing programs for
national accounts, which are clients who sell products or services in multiple
markets. The national segment of the U.S. yellow page advertising market was
approximately $2.0 billion in 1999. During the period of 1990 through 1999, the
market grew at a compound annual rate of approximately 6.4%. 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 our 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 our yellow page sales,
marketing and customer service staff of approximately 850 people provides an
important competitive advantage in marketing and executing yellow page
advertising programs.
We take a proactive approach to yellow page advertising by undertaking
original research on the efficacy of the medium, and by working to quantify the
effectiveness of individual advertising campaigns. We also have a rigorous
quality assurance program designed to ensure client satisfaction. We believe
that this program has enabled us to maintain a yellow page client retention
rate, year to year, in excess of 90%.
MONSTERMOVING.COM. Through recent acquisitions, we have begun to capitalize
on the relationship between recruitment and relocation. By featuring information
that addresses the entire moving process, such as mortgages, insurance,
utilities and education, we offer our clients the ability to research a
prospective move online. We are combining these tools into a Moving Center which
will be integrated into Monster.com-SM-, thus extending the Monster.com-SM-
brand into the moving services marketplace.
For the year ended December 31, 1999 and the three months ended March 31,
2000, respectively, our gross billings were $1.972 billion and $551.5 million,
total commissions and fees were $869.2 million and $257.4 million, net income
(loss) was $(9.1) million and $3.1 million and EBITDA was $57.8 million and
$22.7 million.
Our executive offices are located at 1633 Broadway, New York, New York
10019, our telephone number is (212) 977-4200 and our Internet address is
http://www.tmpw.com. In August 2000, our executive offices will be located at

(1) Special compensation consists of a non-cash, non-recurring charge of
approximately $52.0 million for special management compensation in 1996
resulting from the issuance of approximately 7.2 million shares of Common
Stock of the Company to stockholders of predecessor companies of the Company
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 of the company and,
accordingly, were not considered to have made substantive investments for
their minority shares. The CEO bonus for the year ended December 31, 1997
and the year ended December 31, 1998 consist of a mandatory bonus of $375
thousand per quarter payable to Andrew J. McKelvey, the Company's CEO and
Principal Stockholder, as provided for in the Principal Stockholder's then
existing employment agreement. Receipt of these bonus amounts was
permanently waived by the Principal Stockholder, and accordingly, since they
were not paid, are also accounted for as a contribution to Additional
Paid-in Capital.
(2) Interest expense for 1996 includes a $2.6 million non-cash, non-recurring
charge to reflect the exercise of a warrant issued in connection with the
Company's financing agreement.
(3) Represents fees earned in connection with recruitment, yellow page and other
advertisements placed on the Internet, interactive moving services and

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This prospectus includes or incorporates forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can identify these forward-looking
statements by our use of the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans,"
"expects," "may," "will," "would," "intends," "estimates," and similar
expressions, whether in the negative or affirmative. We cannot guarantee that we
actually will achieve these plans, intentions or expectations. Actual results or
events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations
disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important
factors in the cautionary statements in this prospectus, particularly under the
heading "Risk Factors," that we believe could cause our actual results to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. The forward-looking
statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions,
mergers or dispositions. We do not assume any obligation to update any
forward-looking statement we make.
RISK FACTORS
BEFORE YOU INVEST IN OUR COMMON STOCK, YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE
VARIOUS RISKS, INCLUDING THOSE DESCRIBED BELOW. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER CAREFULLY
THESE RISK FACTORS TOGETHER WITH ALL OF THE OTHER INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS
PROSPECTUS BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO PURCHASE SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MANAGE OUR GROWTH
Our business has grown rapidly in recent periods. As an example, we
completed 85 mergers and acquisitions from January 1, 1997 through May 31, 2000.
We entered the executive search field in 1998 and we believe that our
acquisition of LAI Worldwide, Inc. has made us one of the largest executive
search firms in the world. This growth of our business has placed a significant
strain on our management and operations. Our expansion has resulted, and is
expected in the future to result, in substantial growth in the number of our
employees. In addition, this growth is expected to result in increased
responsibility for both existing and new management personnel and incremental
strain on our existing operations, financial and management information systems.
Our success depends to a significant extent on the ability of our executive
officers and other members of senior management to operate effectively both
independently and as a group. If we are not able to manage existing or
anticipated growth, our business, financial condition and operating results will
be materially adversely affected.
OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON THE VALUE OF OUR BRANDS, PARTICULARLY MONSTER.COM(SM)
Our success depends on our brands and their value. Our business would be
adversely affected if we were unable to adequately protect our brand names,
particularly Monster.com(SM). We are also susceptible to others imitating our
products, particularly Monster.com(SM), and infringing our intellectual property
rights. We may not be able to successfully protect our intellectual property
rights, upon which we are materially dependent. In addition, the laws of many
foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent
as the laws of the United States. Imitation of our products, particularly
Monster.com(SM), or infringement of our intellectual property rights could
diminish the value of our brands or otherwise adversely affect our revenues.
TRADITIONAL MEDIA IS IMPORTANT TO US
A substantial portion of our total commissions and fees comes from designing
and placing recruitment advertisements in traditional media such as newspapers
and trade publications. This business constituted approximately 20.9% and 18.1%
of our total commissions and fees for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the
three months ended March 31, 2000, respectively. We also receive a substantial
portion of our commissions and fees from placing advertising in yellow page
directories. This business constituted approximately 11.7% and 9.1% of total
commissions and fees for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the three months
ended March 31, 2000, respectively. We cannot assure you that the total
commissions and fees we receive in the future will equal the total commissions
and fees which we have received in the past.
11
<PAGE>
In addition, new media, like the Internet, may cause yellow page directories
and other forms of traditional media to become less desirable forms of
advertising media. If we are not able to generate Internet advertising fees to
offset any decrease in commissions from traditional media, our business,
financial condition and operating results will be materially adversely affected.
WE FACE RISKS RELATING TO DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGY, INCLUDING THE INTERNET
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 our continuous improvement in performance,
features and reliability of our Internet content, particularly in response to
competitive offerings. We cannot assure you that we 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 us to make substantial expenditures to modify or adapt our Web
sites and services. This could affect our business, financial condition and
operating results. New Internet services or enhancements which we have offered
or may offer in the future may contain design flaws or other defects that could
require expensive modifications or result in a loss of client confidence. Any
disruption in Internet access or in the Internet generally could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
WE ARE VULNERABLE TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS BROUGHT AGAINST
US BY OTHERS
Successful intellectual property infringement claims against us could result
in monetary liability or a material disruption in the conduct of our business.
We cannot be certain that our products, content and brand names do not or will
not infringe valid patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights
held by third parties. We expect that infringement claims in our markets will
increase in number as more participants enter the markets. We may be subject to
legal proceedings and claims from time to time relating to the intellectual
property of others in the ordinary course of our business. We may incur
substantial expenses in defending against these third party infringement claims,
regardless of their merit.
POTENTIAL IMPACT OF THIRD-PARTY LITIGATION ON OUR AGREEMENT WITH AOL
On December 1, 1999, Monster.com entered into a content and marketing
agreement with AOL pursuant to which, for the payment of $100 million over four
years. Monster.com will be the exclusive provider for four years in the United
States and Canada of career search services to 21 million AOL users across seven
AOL brands: AOL, AOL Canada, Compuserve, ICQ, AOL.com, Netscape and Digital
City.
Subsequent to this date, Digital City, Inc. ("DCI"), a subsidiary of AOL,
sent notice of termination of an advertising agreement with HotJobs.com.,
pursuant to which, among other things, HotJobs could purchase certain
advertisements from DCI and promote its content on DCI (the "HotJobs
Agreement"). By its terms, the HotJobs Agreement was to terminate on
November 14, 2000. HotJobs objected to the termination and on December 20, 1999,
commenced a lawsuit against DCI asking, among other things, that the Court
compel DCI to perform its obligations under the HotJobs Agreement and enjoin DCI
from entering into an exclusive agreement with any competitor of HotJobs. On
December 30, 1999, HotJobs filed a motion for temporary and permanent injunction
with the Court seeking such relief. By order dated March 8, 2000 (the "Order")
the Virginia State Court directed DCI to comply with the terms of the HotJobs
Agreement. On March 17, 2000, the same Court denied DCI's motion to stay
enforcement of the Order pending its appeal. We have been advised that DCI, on
March 23, 2000, filed an appeal of the Order with the Virginia Supreme Court,
which was denied. By press release dated March 17, 2000, AOL reiterated its full
commitment to its long-term relationship with Monster.com-SM-.
COMPUTER VIRUSES MAY CAUSE OUR SYSTEMS TO INCUR DELAYS OR INTERRUPTIONS
Computer viruses may cause our systems to incur delays or other service
interruptions and could damage our reputation and have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and
12
<PAGE>
operating results. The inadvertent transmission of computer viruses could expose
us to a material risk of loss or litigation and possible liability. Moreover, if
a computer virus affecting our system is highly publicized, our reputation could
be materially damaged and our visitor traffic may decrease.
Internet users can freely navigate and instantly switch among a large number
of Web sites, many of which offer original content. It is difficult for us to
distinguish our content and attract users. In addition, many other Web sites
offer very specific, highly targeted content. These sites could have greater
appeal than our sites to particular groups within our target audience.
WE FACE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR ACQUISITION STRATEGY
We expect our growth to continue, in part, by acquiring businesses. The
success of this strategy depends upon several factors, including:
- the continued availability of financing;
- our ability to identify and acquire businesses on a cost-effective basis;
- our ability to integrate acquired personnel, operations, products and
technologies into our organization effectively; and
- our ability to retain and motivate key personnel and to retain the clients
of acquired firms.
We cannot assure you that financing for acquisitions will be available on
terms we find acceptable, or that we will be able to identify or consummate new
acquisitions, or manage and integrate our recent or future expansions
successfully. Any inability to do so would materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition and operating results. We also cannot assure you
that we will be able to sustain the rates of growth that we have experienced in
the past.
OUR MARKETS ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE
The markets for our services are highly competitive. They are characterized
by pressures to:
- reduce prices;
- incorporate new capabilities and technologies; and
- accelerate job completion schedules.
Furthermore, we face competition from a number of sources. These sources
include:
- national and regional advertising agencies;
- Internet portals;
- specialized and integrated marketing communication firms;
- traditional media companies;
- executive search firms; and
- search and selection firms.
In addition, many advertising agencies and publications have started either
to internally develop or acquire new media capabilities, including Internet. We
are also competing with established companies that provide integrated
specialized services like Web advertising services or Web site design, and are
technologically proficient. Many of our competitors or potential competitors
have long operating histories, and some may have greater financial, management,
technological development, sales, marketing and other resources than we do. In
addition, our ability to maintain our existing clients and attract new clients
depends to a large degree on the quality of our services and our reputation
among our clients and potential clients.
We have no significant proprietary technology that would preclude or inhibit
competitors from entering the online advertising, executive search, recruitment
advertising, or yellow page advertising markets. We cannot assure you that
existing or future competitors will not develop or offer services and products
which provide significant performance, price, creative or other advantages over
our services. This could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and operating results.

<PAGE>
OUR OPERATING RESULTS FLUCTUATE FROM QUARTER TO QUARTER
Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and may
fluctuate in the future. These fluctuations are 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 additional commissions from yellow page publishers for
achieving a specified volume of advertising, which are typically reported
in the fourth quarter.
Generally our quarterly commissions and fees earned from recruitment
advertising tend to be highest in the first quarter and lowest in the fourth
quarter. Additionally, recruitment advertising commissions and fees tend to be
more cyclical than yellow page commissions and fees. To the extent that a
significant percentage of our commissions and fees are derived from recruitment
advertising, our operating results may be subject to increased cyclicality.
EFFECT OF GLOBAL ECONOMIC FLUCTUATIONS
Demand for our services is significantly affected by the general level of
economic activity in the regions and industries in which we operate. When
economic activity slows, many companies hire fewer permanent employees.
Therefore, a significant economic downturn, especially in regions or industries
where our operations are heavily concentrated, could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. Further, we
may face increased pricing pressures during such periods. There can be no
assurance that during these periods our results of operations will not be
adversely affected.
WE DEPEND ON OUR CONSULTANTS
The success of our executive search business depends upon our ability to
attract and retain consultants who possess the skills and experience necessary
to fulfill our clients' executive search needs. Competition for qualified
consultants is intense. We believe that we have been able to attract and retain
highly qualified, effective consultants as a result of our reputation and our
performance-based compensation system. Consultants have the potential to earn
substantial bonuses based on the amount of revenue they generate by:
- obtaining executive search assignments;
- executing search assignments; and
- assisting other consultants to obtain or complete executive search
assignments.
Bonuses represent a significant proportion of consultants' total
compensation. Any diminution of our reputation could impair our ability to
retain existing or attract additional qualified consultants. Our inability to
attract and retain qualified consultants could have a material adverse effect on
our executive search business, financial condition and operating results.
OUR CONSULTANTS MAY DEPART WITH EXISTING EXECUTIVE SEARCH CLIENTS
The success of our executive search business depends upon the ability of our
consultants to develop and maintain strong, long-term relationships with
clients. Usually, one or two consultants have primary responsibility for a
client relationship. When a consultant leaves an executive search firm and joins
another, clients that have established relationships with the departing
consultant may move their business to the consultant's new employer. The loss of
one or more clients is more likely to occur if the departing consultant enjoys
widespread name recognition or has developed a reputation as a specialist in
executing searches in a specific industry or management function. Historically,
we have not experienced significant problems in this area. However, a failure to
retain our most effective consultants or maintain the quality of service to
which our clients are accustomed could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and operating results. Also, the ability of a
departing consultant to move business to his or her
14
<PAGE>
new employer could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and operating results.
WE FACE RISKS MAINTAINING OUR PROFESSIONAL REPUTATION AND BRAND NAME
Our ability to secure new executive search engagements and hire qualified
professionals is highly dependent upon our overall reputation and brand name
recognition as well as the individual reputations of our professionals. We
obtain a majority of our new engagements from existing clients or from referrals
by existing clients. Therefore, the dissatisfaction of any client could have a
disproportionate, adverse impact on our ability to secure new engagements. Any
factor that diminishes our reputation or the reputation of any of our personnel
could make it more difficult for us to compete successfully for both new
engagements and qualified consultants. This could have an adverse effect on our
executive search business, financial condition and operating results.
WE FACE RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY BLOCKING ARRANGEMENTS
Either by agreement with clients or for marketing or client relationship
purposes, executive search firms frequently refrain, for a specified period of
time, from recruiting certain employees of a client, and possibly other entities
affiliated with such client, when conducting executive searches on behalf of
other clients. This is known as a "blocking" arrangement. Blocking arrangements
generally remain in effect for one or two years following completion of an
assignment. The actual duration and scope of any blocking arrangement, including
whether it covers all operations of a client and its affiliates or only certain
divisions of a client, generally depends on such factors as:
- the length of the client relationship;
- the frequency with which the executive search firm has been engaged to
perform executive searches for the client; and
- the number of assignments the executive search firm has generated or
expects to generate from the client.
Some of our executive search clients are recognized as industry leaders and/or
employ a significant number of qualified executives who are potential candidates
for other companies in that client's industry. Blocking arrangements with a
client of this nature, or the awareness by a client's competitors of such an
arrangement, may make it difficult for us to obtain executive search assignments
from, or to fulfill executive search assignments for, competitors while
employees of that client may not be solicited. As our client base grows,
particularly in our targeted business sectors, blocking arrangements
increasingly may impede our growth or ability to attract and serve new clients.
This could have an adverse effect on our executive search business, results of
operations and financial condition.
WE FACE RISKS RELATING TO OUR FOREIGN OPERATIONS
We conduct operations in various foreign countries, including Australia,
Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand,
Singapore, Spain and the United Kingdom. For the year ended December 31, 1999
and the three months ended March 31, 2000, approximately 46.5% and 44.6% of our
total commissions and fees were earned outside of the United States. Such
amounts are collected in the local currency. In addition, we generally pay
operating expenses in the corresponding local currency. Therefore, we are at
risk for exchange rate fluctuations between such local currencies and the
dollar. We do not conduct any significant hedging activities.
We are also subject to taxation in foreign jurisdictions. In addition,
transactions between us and our foreign subsidiaries may be subject to United
States and foreign withholding taxes. Applicable tax rates in foreign
jurisdictions differ from those of the United States, and change periodically.
The extent, if any, to which we will receive credit in the United States for
taxes we pay in foreign jurisdictions will depend upon the application of
limitations set forth in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as well as the
provisions of any tax treaties which may exist between the United States and
such foreign jurisdictions.
15
<PAGE>
Other risks inherent in transacting foreign operations include changes in
applicable laws and regulatory requirements, tariffs and other trade barriers
and political instability.
WE DEPEND ON OUR KEY PERSONNEL
Our continued success will depend to a significant extent on our senior
management, including Andrew J. McKelvey, our Chairman of the Board and CEO. The
loss of the services of Mr. McKelvey or of one or more key employees could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and 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 on our business, financial condition and
operating results. If we were to lose a key employee, we cannot assure you that
we would be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our
procedures, practices, new product development or client lists.
WE ARE CONTROLLED BY A PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER
Andrew J. McKelvey beneficially owns all of our outstanding Class B common
stock and a number of shares of our common stock, which together with his Class
B common stock ownership represents more than half of the combined voting power
of all classes of our voting stock. Mr. McKelvey can direct the election of all
of the members of our board. He can also exercise a controlling influence over
our business and affairs. This includes any determinations with respect to
mergers or other business combinations, the acquisition or disposition of our
assets, whether or not we incur indebtedness, the issuance of any additional
common stock or other equity securities and the payment of dividends with
respect to common stock. Similarly, Mr. McKelvey may determine matters submitted
to a vote of our stockholders without the consent of our other stockholders and
he has the power to prevent a change of control.
EFFECTS OF ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS COULD INHIBIT OUR ACQUISITION
Some of the provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and
Delaware law could, together or separately:
- discourage potential acquisition proposals;
- delay or prevent a change in control; and
- limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for
shares of our common stock.
In particular, our board of directors may issue up to 800,000 shares of
preferred stock with rights and privileges that might be senior to our common
stock, without the consent of the holders of the common stock. Our certificate
of incorporation and bylaws provide, among other things, for advance notice of
stockholder proposals and director nominations.
THERE MAY BE VOLATILITY IN OUR STOCK PRICE
The market for our common stock has, from time to time, experienced extreme
price and volume fluctuations. Factors such as announcements of variations in
our quarterly financial results and fluctuations in advertising commissions and
fees, including the percentage of our commissions and fees derived from
Internet-based services and products could cause the market price of our common
stock to fluctuate significantly. Further, due to the volatility of the stock
market generally, the price of our common stock could fluctuate for reasons
unrelated to our operating performance.
The market price of our common stock is based in large part on professional
securities analysts' expectations that our business will continue to grow and
that we will achieve certain levels of net income. If our financial performance
in a particular quarter does not meet the expectations of securities analysts,
this may adversely affect the views of those securities analysts concerning our
growth potential and future financial performance. If the securities analysts
who regularly follow our common stock lower their ratings of our common stock or
lower their projections for our future growth and financial performance, the
market price of our common stock is likely to drop significantly.
16
<PAGE>
WE FACE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION
As an advertising agency which creates and places print and Internet
advertisements, we are subject to Sections 5 and 12 of the U.S. Federal Trade
Commission Act. These sections 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 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 like us 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 that we have created is found to be false,
deceptive or misleading, the FTC Act could potentially subject us 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 us.
In addition, we cannot assure you that other current or new government laws
and regulations, or the application of existing laws and regulations will not:
- subject us to significant liabilities;
- significantly dampen growth in Internet usage;
- prevent us from offering certain Internet content or services; or
- otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and operating results.
WE HAVE NEVER PAID DIVIDENDS
We currently intend to retain earnings, if any, to support our growth
strategy. We do not anticipate paying dividends on our stock in the foreseeable
future. In addition, payment of dividends on our stock is restricted by our
financing agreement.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On July 18, 2000, we announced plans to acquire QD Group Limited
("QD Group"), an international legal recruitment specialist which is based in
London. QD Group consists of a network of 20 owned and affiliated offices across
Asia, Europe and North America. The acquisition will be accounted for as a
purchase. Please see the consolidated financial statements of QD Group as of
March 31, 2000 and September 30, 1999 and 1998 and for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999 and for each of the two years in the period ended
September 30, 1999 and "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial
Information" included elsewhere in this prospectus.
USE OF PROCEEDS
TMP will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of TMP stock by
the selling stockholders.
17
<PAGE>
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our stock. We currently
anticipate that all future earnings will be retained by TMP to support our
growth strategy. Accordingly, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our
stock for the foreseeable future. The payment of any future dividends will be at
the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other
things, future earnings, operations, capital requirements, our general financial
condition, contractual restrictions and general business conditions. Our
financing agreement restricts the payment of dividends on our stock.
PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK
Our stock is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market under the ticker symbol
"TMPW." The stock was initially offered to the public on December 12, 1996 at
$7.00 per share. The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the
high and low reported closing sale prices per share for our stock as reported by
Nasdaq. Effective February 29, 2000, a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a
stock dividend was paid, the share and per share amounts set forth in this
section have been retroactively restated to give effect to the stock split.

(1) Special compensation consists of a non-cash, non-recurring charge of
approximately $52.0 million for special management compensation in 1996
resulting from the issuance of approximately 7.2 million shares of Common
Stock of the Company to stockholders of predecessor companies of the Company
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 of the company and,
accordingly, were not considered to have made substantive investments for
their minority shares. The CEO bonus for the year ended December 31, 1997
and the year ended December 31, 1998 consist of a mandatory bonus of $375
thousand per quarter payable to Andrew J. McKelvey, the Company's CEO and
Principal Stockholder, as provided for in the Principal Stockholder's then
existing employment agreement. Receipt of these bonus amounts was
permanently waived by the Principal Stockholder, and accordingly, since they
were not paid, are also accounted for as a contribution to Additional
Paid-in Capital.

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been retroactively
restated (a) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1999, to reflect the consummation of the First
Quarter 2000 Mergers and the Second Quarter 2000 Mergers (collectively, the
"First Half 2000 Mergers") and (b) as of March 31, 2000 and 1999 and for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 to reflect the consummation of the
Second Quarter 2000 Mergers. Accordingly, the supplemental consolidated
financial statements included herein as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 have been retroactively
restated to reflect the First Half 2000 Mergers, as if the combining companies

supplemental consolidated condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2000
and for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 have been retroactively
restated to reflect the Second Quarter 2000 Mergers, as if the combining
companies had been consolidated for all periods presented. As a result, the
financial position, and statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss)
and cash flows are presented as if the combining companies had been consolidated
for all periods presented. In addition, the supplemental consolidated statements
of stockholders' equity reflect the accounts of TMP as if the additional common
stock issued in connection with each of the aforementioned combinations included
in the First Half 2000 Mergers had been issued for all periods when each of the
related companies had issued shares and for the amounts that reflect the
exchange ratios of the mergers. In accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, the supplemental consolidated financial statements will become the
historical financial statements of the Company upon issuance of the financial
statements for the period that includes the consummation of the Second Quarter
2000 Mergers.
In the supplemental consolidated balance sheets, the balance sheets of TMP
as of March 31, 2000 have been combined with those of the Second Quarter 2000
Mergers, and those as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 have been combined with
those of the First Half 2000 Mergers all as of March 31, 2000 and December 31,
1999 and 1998 except for the following: Illsley Bourbonnais, for which the
balance sheets as of January 31, 2000 and 1999 are combined with those of TMP as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively; Business Technologies Ltd. ("BTL"),
for which the balance sheets as of July 31, 1999 and 1998 are combined with
those of TMP as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively; HW Group PLC
("HW"), for which the balance sheet as of March 31, 1999 is combined with that
of TMP as of December 31, 1998.
The supplemental consolidated statements of income (loss) combine the
results of TMP for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 with those of
the Second Quarter 2000 Mergers and each year in the three year period ended
December 31, 1999 with those of the First Half 2000 Mergers all for the same
periods except for the following: Illsley Bourbonnais, for which the statements
of income (loss) for the years ended January 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 are
included in the statements of income (loss) for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively; BTL, for which the statements of income
(loss) for the years ended July 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 are included in the
statements of income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively; HW, for which the statements of income (loss) for the years
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 are included in the statements of income (loss)
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The results of Illsley Bourbonnais for the month ended January 31, 2000 are
included in both the supplemental consolidated statements of income (loss) for
the year ended December 31, 1999 and in the supplemental consolidated condensed
statement of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Therefore
the following amounts have been included in both periods: (a) commissions and
fees of $1.0 million and (b) net income of $285 thousand, with no impact on net
income (loss) per share. Additionally, due to immateriality, the results of BTL
for the period August 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999 of $314 thousand in
commissions and fees and $50 thousand in net income have not been included in
the supplemental consolidated statement of income (loss) for the year ended
December 31, 1999 because the results of BTL for the fiscal year ended July 31,
1999 were combined with the supplemental consolidated statement of income (loss)
of TMP for the year ended December 31, 1999. In addition, the results of HW, for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 are included in the supplemental
consolidated statements of income (loss) in both years ended December 31, 1999
and 1998, and the effects on both periods on (a) commissions and fees was
$11.1 million, (b) net income was $1.9 million and (c) diluted earnings per
share was $0.02.
The supplemental consolidated financial statements, including the notes
thereto, should be read in conjunction with TMP's historical consolidated
financial statements included elsewhere herein.

OVERVIEW
We, through our flagship Interactive product, Monster.com(sm)
(www.monster.com), are the on-line recruitment leader. We are also one of the
world's largest Recruitment Advertising agency networks, one of the world's
largest Executive Search, Selection and Temporary Contracting agencies, the
world's largest Yellow Pages Advertising agency, a provider of full service
interactive advertising and interactive marketing technology services, and a
provider of online moving services.
Our Interactive growth is attributable to increased sales of our Internet
products, expansion of our Interactive businesses into certain European
countries, migration of our traditional businesses to the Internet and the
addition of new Interactive services. Monster.com(sm) is the leading global
career portal on the Web with over 15.2 million unique visits per month as of
May 2000 per Nielson I/Pro. The Monster.com(sm) global network consists of local
language and content sites in the United States, Canada (French and English),
United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Australia,
New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong.
A substantial part of our growth in Recruitment Advertising, Selection &
Temporary Contracting and Yellow Page Advertising has been achieved through
acquisitions accounted for as purchases. For the period January 1, 1997 through
March 31, 2000 we completed 59 such acquisitions, with estimated annual gross
billings of approximately $480.4 million. Given the significant number of
acquisitions affecting the periods presented, the results of operations from
period to period may not necessarily be comparable.
Furthermore, during the six months ended June 30, 2000, we completed eleven
mergers that are being accounted for as poolings of interests (the "First Half
2000 Pooled Companies"). Approximately 4.8 million shares of our common stock
were issued in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of the First
Half 2000 Pooled Companies (the "First Half 2000 Mergers"). Accordingly, the
supplemental consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1999 and 1998
and for each of the three years in the periods ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997 included herein have been retroactively restated as if the First Half 2000
Pooled Companies had been consolidated for all periods presented, and the
supplemental consolidated condensed financial statements as of and for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 have been retroactively restated as if the
Second Quarter Pooled Companies had been consolidated from January 1, 2000 and
1999.
Gross billings refers to billings for advertising placed on the Internet, in
newspapers and telephone directories by our clients, and associated fees for
related services. In addition, Executive Search fees, Selection fees, and net
fees from Temporary Contracting services are also part of gross billings. Gross
billings for Recruitment Advertising and Yellow Page Advertising are not
included in our consolidated financial statements because they include a
substantial amount of funds that are collected from our clients but passed
through to publishers for advertisements. However, the trends in gross billings
in these two segments directly impact the commissions and fees earned because,
for these segments, we earn commissions based on a percentage of the media
advertising purchased at a rate established by the related publisher. We also
earn associated fees for related services; such amounts are also included in
gross billings. Publishers and third party websites typically bill us for the
advertising purchased and we in turn bill our clients for this amount and retain
a commission. Generally, the payment terms for Yellow Page Advertising clients
require payment to us prior to the date payment is due to the publishers. The
payment terms with Recruitment Advertising clients typically require payment
when payment is due to publishers. Historically, we have not experienced
substantial problems with unpaid accounts.
Commissions and fees related to our Interactive businesses are derived from:
- job postings and access to the resume database and related services
delivered via the Internet, primarily our own Web site, Monster.com(sm);
- searches for permanent and temporary employees, at the executive and
professional levels, and related services conducted through the Internet;
23
<PAGE>
- Internet advertising services provided to our Yellow Page Advertising
clients;
- the providing of interactive advertising services and technologies, which
allow advertisers to measure and track sales, repeat traffic and other key
statistics to enable such advertisers to greatly reduce costs, while
driving only the most qualified users to their web sites and
- online moving services, primarily on our own Web site,
MonsterMoving.com-SM-.
MonsterMoving.com-SM- (www.monstermoving.com) provides important relocation
information and services to Monster.com-SM-'s job seeker and employer community,
which averages over 3.9 million unique visitors and over 15.2 million unique
visits per month. According to the U.S. Census Department 1997 Study,
approximately 20% of the general U.S. population is relocating at any point in
time. As a result, we believe the correlation of moving and changing jobs makes
this percentage even higher and, therefore, that these additional relocation
services will be highly valued by Monster.com's audience and customer base.
MonsterMoving.com-SM-, currently through the individual properties the
Company acquired in 2000 (primarily Virtual Relocation.com, Inc. and Microsurf,
Inc.), is already one of the Internet's most comprehensive providers of
moving-related analytical tools, and features information that addresses the
entire relocation process. This information includes new residence listings,
community maps, education summaries, mortgage quotes, moving quotes, insurance
quotes, address and utility change services, and home repair and maintenance
information.
MonsterMoving.com-SM-, which is scheduled to be launched as a new site in
the third quarter of 2000, will be directly accessible to Monster.com-SM-'s
large base of consumer traffic through URL links and promotions on Monster.com.
In addition, the cross-selling of MonsterMoving.com-SM-'s services has started
with the Company's other divisions and will provide an important new advertising
venue for moving-related clients, particularly in the Yellow Page Advertising
division, where over 30% of our Yellow Page revenues are derived from the moving
services industry, including van lines, truck rentals and home services.
For Recruitment Advertising placements in the U.S., publisher commissions
historically average 15% of recruitment advertising gross billings. We also earn
fees from related services such as campaign development and design, retention
and referral programs, resume screening, brochures and other collateral
services, research and other creative and administrative services. Outside of
the U.S., where, collectively, we derive the majority of our Recruitment
Advertising commissions and fees, our commission rates for recruitment
advertising vary, historically ranging from approximately 10% in Australia to
15% in Canada and the United Kingdom.
Executive Search offers an advanced and comprehensive range of services
aimed at identifying the appropriate senior executive for our clients. Such
senior executives typically earn in excess of $250,000 annually. Our specialized
services include identification of candidates, competence measurement,
assessment of candidate/company cultural fit and transaction negotiation and
closure.
Selection & Temporary Contracting offers placement services for executives
and professionals in mid-level and temporary positions, as well as for specific
short-term projects. Our Selection business provides services similar to our
Executive Search business, and focuses on mid-level professionals or executives,
who typically earn between $75,000 and $150,000, annually. Our Temporary
Contracting business provides contract employees primarily in Australia, New
Zealand, the United Kingdom and the U.S.
We believe that our Executive Search and Selection & Temporary Contracting
services are helping to broaden the universe of both job seekers and employers
who utilize Monster.com(sm). Through the use of Monster.com(sm), Recruitment
Advertising, Selection & Temporary Contracting and Executive Search, we believe
that we can accommodate all of our clients' employee recruitment needs, which is
our "Intern to CEO" strategy.
24
<PAGE>
We design and execute Yellow Page Advertising, receiving an effective
commission rate from directory publishers which historically approximated 20% of
Yellow Page Advertising gross billings. Gross billings increased $34.5 million
or 6.9% to $532.3 million in 1999 from $497.8 million in 1997. However, due to
reductions in commission rates by the publishers and higher discounts provided
to clients, the rate has declined and for 1999 was approximately 19% and has
declined to approximately 17.5% by March 31, 2000. Consequently, commissions and
fees declined $2.6 million or 2.5% to $101.3 million in 1999 from $103.9 million
in 1997. In addition to base commissions, certain yellow pages publishers pay
increased commissions for volume placement by advertising agencies. We typically
recognize this additional commission, if any, in the fourth quarter when it is
certain that such commission has been earned. No such amounts were reported in
the fourth quarter of 1999 due to the aggressive objectives set by the
publishers, and the Company does not foresee achieving these aggressive goals in
the future.
Interactive commissions and fees were $70.8 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000, an increase of $48.4 million or 216.6% over the first quarter of
1999, which had Interactive commissions and fees of $22.4 million. This growth
reflects an increase in the acceptance of our Interactive products and services
by existing and new clients and the effect of increased sales and marketing
activities. Recruitment Advertising commissions and fees were flat at $46.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 versus $46.4 million for the
first quarter of 1999 reflecting modest growth in traditional billings of 0.2%
and a reduced amount of higher margin collateral work. Selection & Temporary
Contracting commissions and fees were $77.8 million, up $20.4 million or 35.5%
from $57.4 million for the period ended March 31, 1999. The increase reflects
the increased demand for professional level employees worldwide, particularly in
mid-level management positions (annual salaries ranging from $75,000 to
$150,000) and the resumption of strong demand for temporary employees in
Australia, particularly in the information technology sector. Executive Search
commissions and fees were $39.0 million for the three months ended March 31,
2000, a decrease of $2.5 million or 6.0% from $41.5 million for the comparable
three months of 1999, due primarily to the decrease, as anticipated, in
consultants at LAI Worldwide, Inc. ("LAI") (many of whom would have been deemed
redundant as a consequence of the merger), in the second quarter of 1999, in
anticipation of the merger with TMP. Yellow Page Advertising billings increased
11.0% to $133.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. However, Yellow
Page Advertising commissions and fees decreased 2.1% to $23.3 million for the
first quarter of 2000 compared to $23.8 million for the prior year period,
reflecting substantially reduced commissions paid by publishers and the effects
of higher discounts provided to certain large clients. Total commissions and
fees as a percent of related billings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000
were 46.7% as compared to 41.6% for the prior year period. The higher percentage
reflects increased sales volume for Interactive and Selection & Temporary
Contracting, where the Company retains greater portions of the amounts billed.
Based on our consolidated results for the periods ended March 31, 2000 and
1999, 44.6%, and 48.0%, respectively, of our consolidated commissions and fees
are attributable to clients outside the U.S.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1999
Gross billings for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $551.5
million, an increase of $91.3 million or 19.8% from $460.2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. Total commissions and fees for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 were $257.4 million, an increase of $65.9 million or 34.4%
from $191.5 million for the comparable period in 1999. Interactive commissions
and fees for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $70.8 million, an
increase of $48.4 million or 216.6% compared with $22.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. The increase in Interactive commissions and fees
from the March 1999 period to the March 2000 period is due to: (i) an increasing
acceptance of our Interactive services and products from existing clients, new
clients and Internet users, (ii) the benefits of Monster.com(sm)'s marketing
campaign, (iii) increases in the services and content available on our websites,
(iv) expansion into certain European markets, (v) price increases on certain
products, and (vi) the continuing migration of our traditional businesses to the
Internet. Recruitment Advertising commissions and fees were flat at $46.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 versus $46.4 million for the
first quarter of 1999 reflecting modest growth in traditional billings of 0.2%
due to migration of recruitment advertising to the Internet and a reduced amount
of higher margin collateral work. Selection & Temporary Contracting commissions
and fees were $77.8 million, up $20.4 million or 35.5% from $57.4 million for
the period ended March 31, 1999. The increase reflects the increased demand for
professional level employees worldwide and the resumption of strong demand for
temporary employees in Australia, particularly in the information technology
sector. Executive Search commissions and fees were $39.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $2.5 million or 6.0% from $41.5
million for the comparable three months of 1999, due primarily to the decrease,
as anticipated, in consultants at LAI (many of whom would have been deemed
redundant as a result of the merger), in the second quarter of 1999, in
anticipation of the merger with TMP. Yellow Page Advertising commissions and
fees were $23.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of
$0.5 million or 2.1% from $23.8 million for the comparable three months of 1999.
This decrease was due to substantially reduced commissions paid by publishers
and the effects of higher discounts paid to certain large clients.
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $248.9
million, compared with $189.1 million for the same period in 1999, an increase
of $59.8 million or 31.6%. The increase is primarily due $31.1 million in higher
salaries and related costs due to organic growth and acquisitions accounted for
as purchases, and $19.1 million in marketing and promotion expenses, primarily
related to Monster.com(sm).
Salaries and related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were
$146.0 million, compared with $114.9 million for the same period in 1999. The
increase of $31.1 million or 27.1% is primarily due to acquisitions accounted
for as purchases and organic growth in Interactive and Selection & Temporary
Contracting operations. Because the growth in total commissions and fees
outpaced the growth in salaries and related expenses, salary and related
expenses as a percent of commissions and fees declined from 60.0% to 56.7%. This
decline in expenses as a percent of commissions and fees is primarily due to the
organic growth mentioned above.
27
<PAGE>
Office and general expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were
$61.2 million compared with $53.5 million for the same period in 1999, an
increase of $7.7 million or 14.4%. The increase reflects organic growth in
Interactive, and Selection & Temporary Contracting operations, partially offset
by savings through consolidation of back offices and support functions in
Recruitment and Yellow Pages Advertising. Because the growth in total
commissions and fees outpaced the growth in office and general expenses, office
and general expenses as a percent of commissions and fees declined from 27.9% to
23.8%. This decline in expenses as a percent of commissions & fees is primarily
due to the organic growth mentioned above as well as cost reductions in
Recruitment and Yellow Pages Advertising, where commissions and fees remained
relatively unchanged from the March 1999 quarter to the March 2000 quarter.
Marketing and promotion expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000
were $29.3 million or 11.4% of commissions and fees, compared with $10.2 million
or 5.3% of commissions and fees for the same period in 1999. The increase of
$19.1 million or 188.1% is primarily due to higher marketing costs for
Monster.com(sm) and reflects the Company's plan to increase the promotion of
Monster.com(sm) with funds provided from increased revenues. The first quarter
2000 expenses include a pro rata charge pursuant to the content and marketing
agreement with America Online, Inc. ("AOL") whereby Monster.com(sm), for the
payment of $100 million over four years, is the exclusive provider of career
search services in the U.S. and Canada to AOL members across seven AOL
properties, including the AOL Service, AOL Canada, Compuserve, ICQ, AOL.com,
Netscape and Digital City.
Merger and integration costs for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were
$8.7 million compared with $4.7 million for the same period in 1999, an increase
of $4.0 million or 85.1%. The majority of the $8.7 million relates to the
acquisition of HW Group PLC in 2000. Also included in the 2000 amount was $2.3
million for the amortization of employee stay bonuses payable in stock in
connection with certain of the acquisitions consummated in 1999 and accounted
for as poolings of interests. The majority of the $4.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 related to the Morgan & Banks Ltd. pooling of
interests transaction, completed during the first quarter of 1999. Also included
in the 1999 amount was $1.5 million for the amortization of employee stay
bonuses which is payable in stock in connection with certain of the acquisitions
completed in 1998 and accounted for as poolings of interests.
As a result of the above, operating income for the three months ended March
31, 2000 was $8.5 million, an increase of $6.1 million or 259.8% from $2.4
million for the comparable period in 1999.
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $1.8
million, compared with a net interest expense of $3.5 million for the comparable
1999 period, an improvement of $5.3 million or 151.2%. This improvement
primarily reflects the investing of net proceeds from the Company's February
2000 follow-on offering after a significant portion of existing long-term debt
was repaid with a portion of such proceeds. The Company completed the follow-on
public offering of 4.0 million (8.0 million, adjusted for the February 29, 2000
2-for-1 stock split) shares of common stock on February 2, 2000. The net
proceeds raised by the Company totaled $594.2 million.
Taxes on income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $7.3 million
on pre-tax profit of $10.2 million, compared with a tax benefit of $0.8 million
on pre-tax loss of $1.3 million the first quarter of 1999. The increase of $8.1
million reflects the higher pretax profit in the three months ended March 31,
2000. In addition, in each quarter the provision and benefit reflect expenses
that are not tax deductible; these are primarily related to merger costs from
pooling of interests transactions and amortization of certain intangible assets.
Also for both periods the provision and benefit is benefited by profits from
certain pooled entities that were not taxed at the corporate level prior to
their merger with TMP.
Minority interests in consolidated earnings for the three months ended March
31, 2000 was an $81,000 loss compared with a profit of $99,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999.
28
<PAGE>
Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates, which reflected losses
associated with the real estate advertising company in which the Company holds a
minority interest, was $100,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
As a result of all of the above, the net income available to common and
Class B common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $3.1
million, an increase of $3.8 million from the net loss of $0.7 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1999. On a diluted per share basis, the net income
available to common and Class B common stockholders for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 was $0.03, compared to a net loss of $0.01 for the comparable
1999 period.
THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
Gross billings for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $1,972.1 million, a
net increase of $117.5 million or 6.3% from $1,854.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998. Commissions and fees for the year ended December 31, 1999
were $869.2 million, an increase of $124.7 million or 16.7% from $744.5 million
for the year ended December 31, 1998. Interactive commissions and fees for the
year ended December 31, 1999 were $144.4 million, an increase of 167.4% or $90.4
million as compared with $54.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998.
This increase in Interactive commissions and fees is due to: (i) an increasing
acceptance of our Interactive services and products from existing clients, new
clients and Internet users, (ii) the benefits of Monster.com(sm)'s marketing
campaign, (iii) increases in the services and content available on our Websites,
(iv) expansion into certain European markets and (v) price increases on certain
products. Recruitment Advertising commissions and fees of $181.2 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999 were virtually flat compared with $180.8 million
for the year ended December 31, 1998, reflecting reduced billings due to lower
volume of help-wanted advertisements placed in newspapers and a loss of business
in the Asia-Pacific Region, offset by substantial reductions in client discounts
and increased ancillary services in North America and an increase in business in
Europe. Selection & Temporary Contracting commissions and fees were $269.0
million, up $61.0 million or 29.3% from $208.0 million for the period ended
December 31, 1998, due primarily to organic growth in selection services in
Australia and Continental Europe and in temporary contracting operations. The
increase in Temporary Contracting reflects an increase in the number of
contractors placed, particularly information technology personnel and
executives, which have higher margins than general and support staff. Executive
Search commissions and fees were $173.3 million, a decrease of $22.0 million or
11.3% from $195.3 million for the comparable year of 1998, due primarily to a
loss of consultants, as anticipated, at LAI and TASA Holding AG, which resulted
from the merger and integration of these companies. Yellow Page Advertising
commissions and fees were $101.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, a
decrease of $5.2 million or 4.8% from $106.5 million for the year ended December
31, 1998, reflecting substantially reduced commission rates and year-end
incentives paid by publishers and the effects of higher discounts for certain
clients offset, in part by the benefits from higher gross billings, internal
growth and acquisitions.
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $855.1 million
compared with $683.2 million for same period in 1998. The increase of $171.9
million or 25.2% is due to increases of $66.6 million in salary and related
costs, $40.7 million in merger and integration costs related to mergers
accounted for as poolings of interests, $44.9 million in marketing and promotion
expenses primarily to support Monster.com(sm) and $20.3 million in office and
general expenses.
Salaries and related costs for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $496.9
million or 57.2% of total commissions and fees, compared with $430.3 million or
57.8% of total commissions and fees for the same period in 1998. The increase of
$66.6 million or 15.5% is primarily due to increased staff for the expansion of
our Interactive operations, especially Monster.com(sm), and acquisitions
accounted for as purchases in Selection & Temporary Contracting.
Office and general expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $205.2
million or 23.6% of total commissions and fees, compared with $184.9 million or
24.8% of commissions and fees for the same
29
<PAGE>
period in 1998. The increase of $20.3 million or 11.0% is primarily due to
acquisitions and higher costs for our Interactive operations, partially offset
by reductions in expenses for the Yellow Page Advertising and Recruitment
Advertising businesses due to improved efficiencies.
Marketing and promotion expenses increased $44.9 million to $74.6 million
for the year ended December 31, 1999 from $29.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998, a 151.0% increase due to increased spending to promote
Monster.com(sm).
Merger and integration costs for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $63.1
million compared with $22.4 million for the same period in 1998 an increase of
$40.7 million or 181.3%. This increase primarily resulted from the pooling of
interests transactions that occurred during the year ended December 31, 1999 and
the planned integration of such companies and is comprised of: (i) $32.5 million
of office integration costs, which include the closing of excess leased
facilities, the write-off of fixed assets which will not be used in the future
and a reserve for the effect, after reduction for related compensation, of
uncollectible search fees recorded as a result of a loss of executive search
consultants, (ii) $9.6 million for separation pay and accelerated vesting of
employee stock and stock option grants, both in accordance with pre-existing
contractual change in control provisions and (iii) $3.6 million more of
transaction related costs, which include legal, accounting, printing and
advisory fees and the costs incurred for the subsequent registration of shares
issued in the transactions, partially offset by $5.0 million less for employee
stay bonuses paid primarily with TMP shares and options to certain key personnel
of the merged companies. Approximately $24.1 million of the $63.1 million are
non-cash charges. The after tax effect of these charges on diluted net income
(loss) per share is $(0.53) and $(0.20) for the year ended December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively.
Restructuring charges for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $2.8 million
or, on an after tax basis, $(0.02) per diluted share, compared with $3.5 million
or $(0.03) per diluted share on an after tax basis for the year ended December
31, 1998. These charges relate to LAI's closing of its London and Hong Kong
offices prior to LAI's merger with TMP. These charges include $0.5 million for
the write-off of leasehold improvements and fixed assets, $1.3 million for
severance benefits payable to 24 employees, and $1.0 million for consolidation
of facilities related to the restructuring.
As a result of the above, operating income for the year ended December 31,
1999 decreased $47.2 million or 77.0% to $14.1 million from $61.3 million for
the comparable period in 1998.
Net interest expense was $12.9 million for each of the years ended December
31, 1999 and 1998. The effects of lower interest rates and borrowing costs in
1999, resulting from the amended and restated financing agreement entered into
on November 5, 1998, were offset by increased borrowings and interest expense of
pooled companies.
Taxes on income for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $6.9 million on a
$1.7 million pretax loss, compared with a tax expense of $16.9 million on a
$46.4 million pretax profit for the year ended December 31, 1998. Although there
is a loss for the 1999 period, there is a tax expense because certain expenses
are not tax deductible. Such expenses are primarily related to merger costs from
pooling of interests transactions and amortization of intangible assets. The tax
charge in each period benefited from profits of certain pooled entities whose
earnings were not taxed at the corporate level prior to their merger with TMP.
As a result of all of the above, the net loss applicable to common and Class
B common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $0.11 per diluted
share, a decrease of $0.46 per diluted share or 131.4% from the net income of
$0.35 per diluted share for the comparable 1998 period.

THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
Gross billings for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $1,854.6 million,
an increase of $324.8 million or 21.2% as compared to gross billings of $1,529.8
million for the year ended December 31, 1997. This increase in gross billings
resulted primarily from acquisitions in Recruitment Advertising and organic
growth in our Interactive, Selection & Temporary Contracting and Executive
Search businesses.
Total commissions and fees for the year ended December 31, 1998 were
$744.5 million, an increase of $133.7 million or 21.9% from $610.8 million for
the year ended December 31, 1997. Interactive commissions and fees for the year
ended December 31, 1998 were $54.0 million, an increase of 146.1% or
$32.1 million from $21.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The
increase in Interactive commissions and fees is due to (i) an increasing
acceptance of our Interactive services and products from existing clients and
Internet users, (ii) the benefits of Monster.com(sm)'s marketing campaign,
(iii) increases in the service and content available on our websites,
(iv) expansion into certain European markets and (v) price increases on certain
products. Recruitment Advertising commissions and fees were $180.8 million for
the year ended December 31, 1998 compared with $136.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 1997, an increase of $44.0 million or 32.2%. This increase was
primarily due to (a) acquisitions, which contributed approximately
$25.1 million and (b) approximately $21.4 million from increased client spending
and new clients partially offset by client losses and a decrease in foreign
currency translation rates, which had a negative effect of approximately
$3.0 million. Executive Search commissions and fees were $195.3 million compared
with $168.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of
$27.2 million or 16.2%, due primarily to strong organic growth due to increased
demand for executive management employees worldwide. Selection & Temporary
Contracting commissions and fees were $208.0 million, an increase of
$28.0 million or 15.6% from $180.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1997.
This increase is primarily due to acquisitions of selection firms in Continental
Europe, a greater number of temporary contract workers placed during 1998 as
compared with the prior period, growth in the executive temporary contracting
business. Yellow Page Advertising commissions and fees were $106.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 1998 compared with $103.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 1997, an increase of 2.4% or $2.6 million due primarily to
acquisitions accounted for as purchases.
Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $683.2
million, compared with $527.1 million for 1997. The increase of $156.1 million
or 29.6% is due primarily to acquisitions and internal growth, together with the
addition of $22.4 million for merger and integration costs related to pooling of
interests transactions and $3.5 million in restructuring charges for the closing
of LAI's London, England and Hong Kong offices prior to LAI's merger with TMP.
Salaries and related costs for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $430.3
million or 57.8% of total commissions and fees, compared with $345.0 million or
56.5% of total commissions and fees for the same period in 1997, representing an
increase of $85.3 million or 24.7%. This increase reflects acquisitions in
Executive Search and Recruitment Advertising and growth in Interactive
operations.
Office and general expenses increased $24.9 million to $184.9 million for
the year ended December 31, 1998, as compared with $160.0 million for the prior
period primarily due to acquisitions accounted for as purchases and other
expenses to grow our Interactive businesses. As a percent of total commissions
and fees, office and general expenses decreased to 24.8% for the year ended
December 31, 1998 from 26.2% for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Marketing and promotion expenses increased $16.0 million to $29.7 million
for the year ended December 31, 1998 from $13.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1997, a 117.6% increase due to increased marketing for our
interactive operations, especially Monster.com(sm).
In connection with the mergers completed during 1998 and the merger with
Morgan & Banks Limited completed in January 1999, we expensed merger and
integration costs of $22.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1998,
consisting of (i) $11.9 million of non-cash employee stay bonuses, which
included
31
<PAGE>
(a) $3.6 million for the amortization of TMP shares set aside for key personnel
of Johnson, Smith & Knisely Inc. and The Consulting Group (International)
Limited, who must remain employees for a full year in order to earn such shares
and (b) $8.3 million for TMP shares to key personnel of TASA and Stackig, Inc.
as employee stay bonuses, (ii) $1.5 million of stay bonuses paid as cash to key
personnel of one of the companies merged in 1998 and (iii) $9.0 million of
transaction related costs, including fees for legal, accounting and advisory
services and the costs incurred for the subsequent registration of shares issued
in the acquisitions. The after tax effect of this charge is $16.7 million or
$(0.20) per diluted share.
Restructuring charges for the year ended December 31, 1998 were
$3.5 million or, on an after tax basis, $(0.03) per diluted share and relate to
LAI's plan prior to its merger with TMP to significantly curtail the operations
of its international offices in London, England. These charges include
$1.1 million for severance, and $2.4 million for the write-off of leasehold
improvements and other costs to close these facilities.
Amortization of intangibles was $11.1 million for the year ended December
31, 1998 compared to $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The
increase is due to our continued growth through acquisitions. As a percentage of
total commissions and fees, amortization of intangibles was 1.5% and 1.1% for
the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
As a result of all of the above, operating income decreased $22.4 million to
$61.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared with operating
income of $83.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 and, as a percent
of total commissions and fees, operating income decreased to 8.2% from 13.7%.
Net interest expense increased $2.4 million to $12.9 million for the year
ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $10.5 million for the year ended December
31, 1997, reflecting a net increase in debt as a result of acquisitions and
capital expenditures. In addition, our effective interest rate was 11.2% for the
year ended December 31, 1998 compared with 10.8% for the year ended December 31,
1997.
Taxes on income decreased $5.9 million to $16.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998 from $22.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1997
primarily due to lower pre-tax income. The 1998 amount reflects the inability to
deduct for tax, certain costs associated with the mergers completed during 1998
and the merger with Morgan & Banks Limited completed in 1999 which were
accounted for as poolings of interests.
For the year ended December 31, 1998, equity in losses of unconsolidated
affiliates was $396, reflecting losses at our minority owned real estate
advertising affiliate, as compared with a $33 loss for the same period in 1997.
Minority interests in consolidated earnings for the year ended December 31, 1998
were $28 compared with $296 for the year ended December 31, 1997.
As a result of all of the above, the net income applicable to common and
Class B common stockholders was $29.0 million for the year ended December 31,
1998, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared with net income applicable to common
and Class B common stockholders of $50.8 million, or $0.66 per diluted share for
the year ended December 31, 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal capital requirements have been to fund (i) acquisitions,
(ii) working capital, (iii) capital expenditures and (iv) marketing and
development of our Interactive business. Our 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. We have met our liquidity needs over the last three years through (a)
funds provided by operating activities, (b) equity offerings, (c) long-term
borrowings, (d) capital leases and (e) vendor financing in 1996. In December
1996, we completed our initial public offering of an aggregate of 8,294,816
shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $7.00 per share in an underwritten
public offering managed by Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Donaldson, Lufkin
& Jenrette Securities Corporation and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. In the
initial public
32
<PAGE>
offering, certain stockholders sold an additional aggregate of 1,305,184 shares
of Common Stock. The net proceeds that we received from the initial public
offering of $50.8 million were used to repay debt and, in early 1997, to pay
down accounts payable and to redeem preferred stock. In September 1997, we
completed a second public offering of an aggregate of 4,800,000 shares of Common
Stock at a purchase price of $11.50 per share in an underwritten public offering
managed by Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Goldman, Sachs & Co., BT Alex
Brown Incorporated, Montgomery Securities and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. In
addition, certain stockholders sold an aggregate of 3,200,000 shares of common
stock in such offering. Our net proceeds from this offering of $63.4 million,
including net repayment of borrowings of $12.2 million paid to us by certain
stockholders, were used to repay debt. In 1998, LAI received $41.6 million in
net proceeds from its second public offering managed by Robert W. Baird & Co.
Incorporated, The Robinson-Humphrey Company, LLC and J.C. Bradford & Co. Such
proceeds were used to support its international expansion, support enhancements
to its technology-based infrastructure, acquire two executive search companies
and provide additional working capital. On January 27, 2000, in connection with
its third public offering, the Company issued an aggregate of, on a post split
basis, 8,000,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $77 5/16 per
share in an underwritten public offering managed by Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Salomon Smith Barney, Deutsche Bank
Securities, Inc., Paine Webber Incorporated and U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffrey, Inc.
The offering was completed in February 2000. The net proceeds from this offering
were $594.2 million, and approximately $82 million was used to pay down debt on
the Company's credit line. The remainder is being invested in short and medium
term interest bearing instruments until used for acquisitions, strategic equity
investments and general corporate purposes.
Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter ended March 31,
2000 and 1999 was $57.4 million, and $13.0 million, respectively. The increase
in cash used in operating activities of $44.4 million for 2000 over 1999 was
primarily attributable to (i) $34.1 million due to increases in accounts
receivable for the 2000 period over the 1999 period, related mostly to growth in
Recruitment Advertising and Interactive operations (ii) $26.0 million resulting
from decreases in cash from accounts payable and accrued liabilities and
(iii) $15.2 million related to increases in the use of funds for work-in-process
and prepaid and other assets for the 2000 period over the 1999 period, partially
offset by (i) $16.0 million increase in earnings after adjusting for non-cash
items (ii) $10.3 million resulting from increases in deferred commissions and
fees and (iii) $4.6 million due to the effects of higher losses from pooled
companies in both the current and previous period.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997 was $95.5 million, $72.2 million and $62.4 million,
respectively. The increase in cash of $23.3 million from operating activities
for 1999 over 1998 was primarily due to (i) the net increase in funds from a
$49.3 million greater increase in deferred commissions and fees, primarily for
Monster.com(sm), for the 1999 period over the 1998 period, (ii) a $5.1 million
effect from inclusion of losses in 1999 and profits in 1998 from companies
accounted for as poolings of interests, in both the current period and the
previous year, because of overlapping reporting periods reduced by (i) an
$11.8 million net increase in the use of funds from increases in accounts
receivable over increases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other
liabilities, for the 1999 period over the 1998 period, (ii) a $0.8 million
increase in work-in-process and prepaid and other assets and (iii) a
$17.5 million decline in earnings after adjusting for non-cash items. The
increase in cash of $9.8 million from operating activities for 1998 over 1997
was primarily due to an increase of $8.7 million in accounts payable, accrued
expenses and other current liabilities, a $10.4 million increase in depreciation
and amortization costs, $8.3 million for the utilization of our common stock to
pay bonuses, a decrease of $11.3 million in accounts receivable, $2.9 million
from the net loss on disposal of fixed assets, a $3.4 million increase in
deferred commissions and fees, a $4.4 million increase in amortization of
deferred compensation and a $2.2 million increase in provision for doubtful
accounts, partially offset by decreases in net income of $21.8 million,
$8.0 million in deferred income taxes, $9.9 million in work-in-process, prepaid
and other assets, and a decrease of $2.3 million from the effects of including
losses from pooled companies in both the current and previous period. In
addition, in 1998 we paid
33
<PAGE>
approximately $13.6 million for restructuring. Such amount was applied against a
reserve set up during 1997 in connection with acquisitions accounted for using
the purchase method. This reserve was increased in 1998 by a $3.5 million charge
to earnings and by a $10.1 million charge to intangible assets, and reduced by
payments of $13.6 million, leaving a restructuring reserve at December 31, 1998
of $16.7 million.
EBITDA was $22.7 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000, an
increase of $10.1 million or 81.2% from $12.6 million for the first quarter
ended March 31, 1999. The increase primarily reflects, for the 2000 period, a
$6.1 million increase in operating profits, $3.7 million more in depreciation
and amortization costs and $8.1 million in taxes offset by a $5.3 million
decrease in interest expense. As a percentage of commissions and fees, EBITDA
increased to 8.8% for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000 as compared with
6.6% for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999. The higher percent reflects the
improved operating margins, which were 3.3% and 1.2% of commissions and fees for
the 2000 and 1999 periods, respectively.
EBITDA was $57.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, a decrease of
$39.0 million or 40.3% from $96.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The decrease primarily reflects, for the 1999 period, a $47.2 million decrease
in operating profits and $10.0 million less in income taxes, partially offset by
$9.0 million more in depreciation and amortization costs. As a percentage of
commissions and fees, EBITDA decreased to 6.6% for the year ended December 31,
1999 as compared with 13.0% for the year ended December 31, 1998. The lower
percent reflects the increase in merger & integration and restructuring costs,
which were 7.3% and 3.0% of commissions and fees for the 1999 and 1998 periods,
respectively. EBITDA was $96.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, a
decrease of $10.6 million from $107.4 million for the year ended December 31,
1997. As a percentage of total commissions and fees, EBITDA decreased to 13.0%
for the year ended December 31, 1998 from 17.6% for the year ended December 31,
1997. The decrease resulted primarily from the $18.0 million charge for merger
costs ($22.4 million less $4.4 million in amortization of deferred
compensation), which was 2.4% of total commissions and fees for the year ended
December 31, 1998, offset, in part, by increased depreciation and amortization
of $14.8 million.
Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarters ended March 31,
2000 and 1999 was $30.3 million and $22.2 million, respectively. The $8.1
million increase in cash used in 2000 compared to 1999 was due to an increase in
capital expenditures, primarily computer equipment and software for the
expansion of the Company's global technology infrastructure.
Net cash used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997 was $61.6 million, $73.9 million and $109.4 million, respectively.
The decrease in 1999 of $12.3 million as compared to 1998 was primarily due to
$9.1 million received from the sale of fixed assets and $9.0 million less used
for business acquisitions, partially offset by $7.9 million more in capital
expenditures. The $35.5 million decrease in 1998 as compared with 1997 was
primarily due to $46.7 million less in payments for acquisitions, reflecting the
use of company stock to make acquisitions of businesses, offset in part by
$1.9 million more in capital expenditures and during 1997 our receipt of a net
$11.4 million from the Principal Stockholder and certain other stockholders, who
repaid borrowings with funds received primarily from their sale of shares
included with our second public offering. Payments for businesses acquired using
the purchase method of accounting, excluding $5.5 million in TMP stock, were
$37.0 million in 1998 and $83.7 million in 1997, of which $47.2 million was for
Austin Knight. Capital expenditures, primarily for computer equipment and
furniture and fixtures, were $43.0 million, $35.1 million and $33.2 million for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In addition, in
1997, we acquired certain transportation equipment and made capital improvements
for a total of $6.8 million, and simultaneously entered into a $7.8 million
financing agreement to fund the purchases and provide additional operating
funds.
We estimate that our expenditures for computer equipment and software,
furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements will be approximately $70 to
$80 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.

<PAGE>
Our financing activities include equity offerings, borrowings and repayments
under our bank financing agreements and borrowings for and payments on (i)
installment notes, principally to finance acquisitions, (ii) capital leases and
(iii) equipment. Our financing activities for the first quarters ended March 31,
2000 and March 31, 1999 provided net cash of $545.1 million and $13.8 million,
respectively. The change of $531.3 million resulted primarily from
$594.2 million in net proceeds from our follow-on common stock offering and a
$6.4 million increase in cash received from the exercise of employee stock
options, partially offset by net repayments in the 2000 period of $57.4 million
against credit facilities and capitalized lease obligations compared with a net
increase in credit facilities and capitalized lease obligations of
$11.6 million in the prior year period.
Our financing activities for the year ended December 31, 1999 used net cash
of $48.5 million but provided $22.1 million and $75.6 million for the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. The change of $70.6 million in 1999 compared
to 1998 resulted primarily from $41.6 million in proceeds from common stock
offerings (primarily by LAI) in the 1998 period and an increase in net
repayments in the 1999 period to $53.6 million against credit facilities and
capitalized lease obligations compared with total net repayments of $4.0 million
in the prior year period, offset in part by a $17.6 million increase in cash
received from the exercise of employee stock options and a $2.9 million decline
in dividends paid by pooled companies in the 1999 period. The change of $53.5
million in 1998 compared to 1997 was primarily due to LAI's initial public
offering for net proceeds of $25.4 million and TMP's second public offering of
4,800,000 shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of $51.2 million in the third
quarter of 1997 compared with net proceeds of $41.6 million from LAI's follow-on
offering in 1998. With a portion of the proceeds received from our initial
public offering in January 1997, we redeemed all of the shares of the cumulative
preferred stock issued by a subsidiary, reported as a minority interest, and our
previously issued preferred stock for approximately $3.1 million and $2.1
million, respectively. Such redemptions included approximately $100,000 each of
premiums. In November, 1998 and 1997 we amended our financing agreement with our
primary lender to provide for borrowings, under a revolving credit facility, of
a minimum of $175 million. In May 1999 we increased this amount to $185 million.
This facility is used to finance our acquisitions and for working capital
requirements.
At March 31, 2000, we had a $185 million committed line of credit from our
primary lender pursuant to a revolving credit agreement expiring November 5,
2003. Of such line, at March 31, 2000, approximately $161.3 million was unused
and accounts receivable is sufficient to allow drawdown of the entire amount.
Our current interest rate under the agreement is LIBOR plus 50 basis points. In
addition, we had secured lines of credit aggregating $19.1 million for our
operations in Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium, Italy and the
Netherlands, of which approximately $10.7 million was unused at March 31, 2000.
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2000 were $520.5 million, an increase
of $455.9 million from $64.6 million at December 31, 1999, and were
$461.4 million higher than the March 31, 1999 balance of $59.1 million.
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1999 were $64.6 million, an
increase of $15.3 million from $79.9 million at December 31, 1998.
Part of our acquisition strategy is to pay, over time, a portion of the
purchase price of certain acquisitions through seller financed notes.
Accordingly, such notes are included in long-term debt, are generally payable
over five years and totaled approximately $7.2 million at March 31, 2000. We
intend to continue our acquisition strategy and the marketing and promotion of
our Interactive businesses through the use of cash-on-hand, operating profits,
issuance of additional shares of our common stock, borrowings against our
long-term debt facility and seller financed notes. We believe that our
anticipated cash flow from operations, cash-on-hand, as well as the availability
of funds under our existing financing agreements and further access to public
equity and debt markets, will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our
current foreseeable cash needs.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
During 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which had an initial adoption
date by the Company of January 1, 2000. During the second quarter of 1999, the
FASB postponed the adoption date of SFAS No. 133 until January 1, 2001. The FASB
further amended SFAS No. 133 in June 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires that all
derivative financial instruments be recorded on the consolidated balance sheets
at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives will be recorded
each period in earnings or other comprehensive earnings, depending on whether a
derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type
of hedge transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in
other comprehensive earnings will be reclassified as earnings in the periods in
which earnings are affected by the hedged item. The Company does not expect the
adoption of this statement to have a significant impact on the Company's results
of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 dealing with
revenue recognition which is effective in the fourth quarter of 2000. The
Company does not expect its adoption to have a material effect on its financial
statements.
In 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the FASB issued EITF
Issue No. 00-2, "Website Development Costs" which established guidelines for
accounting for website development costs and is effective for quarters beginning
after June 30, 2000. Although the Company is still evaluating its impact, the
Company does not believe its adoption will have a significant effect on its
financial statements.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
We completed our Year 2000 software program conversions and compliance
programs during the fourth quarter of 1999. The total external costs for such
programs were approximately $3.0 million. Through the three months ended March
31, 2000 we have not experienced any Year 2000 problems either internally or
from outside sources. We have no reason to believe that Year 2000 failures will
materially affect us in the future. However, since it may take several
additional months before it is known whether we or third party suppliers,
vendors or customers may have undergone Year 2000 problems, no assurances can be
given that we will not experience losses or disruptions due to Year 2000
computer-related problems. We will continue to monitor the operation of our
computers and microprocessor-based devices for any Year 2000 problems.
FLUCTUATIONS OF QUARTERLY RESULTS
Our 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 our quarterly results. Our Yellow Page advertising results are
also affected by commissions earned for volume placements for the year, which
are typically reported in the fourth quarter. Our quarterly commissions and fees
for recruitment advertising are typically highest in the first quarter and
lowest in the fourth quarter; however, the cyclical nature of the economy and
our clients' employment needs have an overriding impact on our quarterly results
in Recruitment Advertising, Selection & Temporary Contracting and Executive
Search. Moreover, our Recruitment Advertising acquisition activity has had more
of an impact on our recently reported quarterly results than any other factor.
The following table sets forth summary quarterly unaudited financial
information for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998. Amounts have been retroactively restated for the
First Half 2000 Mergers except for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
1999, which have previously been presented to reflect the First Quarter 2000
Mergers and herein are

average effect for the quarter; therefore, the sum of the quarters may not equal
the full year earnings (loss) per share amount, which reflects the weighted
average effect on an annual basis. In addition, diluted earnings per share
calculations for each quarter include the effect of stock options and warrants,
when dilutive to the quarter.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates,
variability in interest rate spread relationships (i.e., prime to LIBOR spreads)
and exchange rate variability. Substantially all of the Company's debt relates
to a five-year financing agreement with an outstanding principal balance of
approximately $23.7 million, including $8.0 million reflected as a reduction to
accounts receivable and $11.1 million for letters of credit, as of March 31,
2000. Interest on the outstanding balance is charged based on a variable
interest rate related to the higher of the prime rate, Federal Funds rate less
1/2 of 1% or LIBOR plus 50 basis points as specified in the agreement, and is
thus subject to market risk in the form of fluctuations in interest rates. The
Company does not trade in derivative financial instruments.
The Company also conducts operations in various foreign countries, including
Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the
Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, and the United Kingdom. For the
period ended March 31, 2000 approximately 42.7% of our commissions and fees were
earned outside the United States and collected in local currency, and related
operating expenses were also paid in such corresponding local currency.
Accordingly, we will be subject to increased risk for exchange rate fluctuations
between such local currencies and the dollar. We do not conduct any significant
hedging activities.
The financial statements of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries are
translated into U.S. dollars using current rates of exchange, with gains or
losses included in the cumulative translation adjustment account, a component of
stockholders' equity. During the first quarter of 2000, due to the strengthening
of the U.S. dollar, the Company had an exchange loss of $33.6 million, primarily
attributable to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Australian
dollar.

(1) Special compensation consists of a non-cash, non-recurring charge of
approximately $52.0 million for special management compensation in 1996
resulting from the issuance of approximately 7.2 million shares of Common
Stock of the Company to stockholders of predecessor companies of the Company
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 of the Company and,
accordingly, were not considered to have made substantive investments for
their minority shares. The CEO bonus for the year ended December 31, 1997
and the year ended December 31, 1998 consist of a mandatory bonus of
$375 per quarter payable to Andrew J. McKelvey, the Company's CEO and
Principal Stockholder, as provided for in the Principal Stockholder's then
existing employment agreement. Receipt of these bonus amounts was
permanently waived by the Principal Stockholder, and accordingly, since they
were not paid, are also accounted for as a contribution to Additional
Paid-in Capital. See Note 14(B) to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements included elsewhere herein.

MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999 AS FILED IN THE COMPANY'S QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q
WHICH ARE INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR

OVERVIEW
We, through our flagship Interactive product, Monster.com(SM)
(www.monster.com), are the on-line recruitment leader. We are also the world's
largest Recruitment Advertising agency network, one of the world's largest
Search & Selection agencies, the world's largest Yellow Pages Advertising
agency, a provider of full service interactive advertising and interactive
marketing technology services, and a provider of online relocation services.
Our Interactive growth is attributable to increased sales of our Internet
products, expansion of our Interactive businesses into certain European
countries, migration of our traditional businesses to the Internet and the
addition of new Interactive services. Monster.com(SM) is the leading global
career portal on the Web with over 15.2 million unique visits per month as of
May 2000 per Nielson I/Pro. The Monster.com(SM) global network consists of local
language and content sites in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia,
Canada (French and English), the Netherlands, Belgium, New Zealand, France,
Singapore and Hong Kong.
A substantial part of our growth in Recruitment Advertising, Search &
Selection and Yellow Page Advertising has been achieved through acquisitions.
For the period January 1, 1997 through March 31, 2000, we completed 79
acquisitions, including eight completed during the three months ended March 31,
2000. Of the acquisitions completed during 2000, four are being accounted for as
poolings of interests (the "First Quarter 2000 Pooled Companies"). Approximately
1.7 million shares of our common stock were issued in exchange for all of the
outstanding common stock of the First Quarter 2000 Pooled Companies (the "First
Quarter 2000 Mergers"). Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 included herein have been retroactively
restated as if the First Quarter 2000 Pooled Companies had been consolidated for
the three months ended March 31, 1999. In addition, for the period January 1,
through March 31, 2000, we completed four acquisitions which were accounted for
using the purchase method, with estimated annual gross billings of approximately
$44.4 million. Given the significant number of acquisitions affecting the
periods presented, the results of operations from period to period may not
necessarily be comparable.
Of the pooling of interests mergers, the seven completed prior to April 1,
1999 are Johnson, Smith & Knisely Inc. ("JSK"), TASA Holding AG ("TASA"),
Stackig, Inc. ("Stackig"), Recruitment Solutions Inc., Sunquest L.L.C. d.b.a.
The SMART Group and The Consulting Group (International) Limited ("TCG"), in
1998 (the "1998 Mergers"); and Morgan & Banks Limited ("M&B") in January 1999
(the "M&B Merger"). In connection with these mergers, we issued 17,578,910
shares of our common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock
of these seven companies. From April 1, 1999 to June 30, 1999, we completed
pooling of interests mergers (the "Second Quarter 1999 Mergers") with six
companies:
41
<PAGE>
Interquest Pty. Limited ("Interquest"), LIDA Advertising Inc. ("LIDA"), Maes &
Lunau ("M&L"), IN2, Inc. ("IN2"), Lemming & LeVan, Inc. ("L&L"), and Yellow
Pages Unlimited, Inc. ("YPU"), (the "Second Quarter 1999 Pooled Companies"). In
connection with the Second Quarter 1999 Mergers we issued a total of 1,800,480
shares of TMP common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding stock of the
Second Quarter 1999 Pooled Companies. From July 1, 1999 through September 30,
1999, we completed pooling of interests mergers (the "Third Quarter 1999
Mergers") with five companies, Cameron-Newell Advertising, Inc. ("CNA"), Brook
Street Bureau (QLD) Pty Ltd ("Brook St."), LAI Worldwide, Inc. ("LAI"), Fox
Advertising Inc. ("Fox") and Lampen Group Limited ("Lampen") ("the Third Quarter
1999 Pooled Companies"). In connection with the Third Quarter 1999 Mergers we
issued a total of 4,306,914 shares of TMP common stock in exchange for all of
the outstanding stock of the Third Quarter 1999 Pooled Companies. From
October 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999, we completed mergers with two
companies, Highland Search Group L.L.C. ("Highland") and TMC S.r.l. ("Amrop
Italy") (the "Fourth Quarter 1999 Pooled Companies"), which provided for the
exchange of all of the outstanding stock of such companies for a total of
1,517,226 shares of TMP common stock and which were accounted for as poolings of
interests (the "Fourth Quarter 1999 Mergers").
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 1999
and 1998 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999
reflect the effect of the 1998 Mergers, the M & B Merger, the Second Quarter
1999 Mergers, the Third Quarter 1999 Mergers and the Fourth Quarter 1999
Mergers, because such mergers have been accounted for as poolings of interests.
As a result, the Company's financial position, results of operations, and
statements of comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows are presented as if the
combining companies had been consolidated for all periods presented. The
consolidated statements of stockholders' equity reflect the accounts of TMP as
if the additional common stock issued in connection with such mergers had been
issued for all periods presented. In addition, the results of Brook St. for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and the results of LAI for the two months ended
February 28, 1999 are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for
both the year ended December 31, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1999.
Therefore this results in the inclusion of the following amounts in both periods
of (a) commissions & fees of $11.1 million and (b) a net loss of $3.8 million or
$(0.10) per diluted share.
Gross billings refer to billings for advertising placed on the Internet, in
newspapers and telephone directories by our clients, and associated fees for
related services. In addition, Executive Search and Selection & Temporary
Contracting fees and fees for related trends in gross billings in these two
segments directly impact the commissions and fees earned because, for these
segments, we earn commissions based on a percentage of the media advertising
purchased at a rate established by the related publisher. We also earn
associated fees for related services; such amounts are also included in gross
billings. Publishers and third party websites typically bill us for the
advertising purchased and we in turn bill our clients for this amount and retain
a commission. Generally, the payment terms for Yellow Page Advertising clients
require payment to us prior to the date payment is due to the publishers. The
payment terms with Recruitment Advertising clients typically require payment
when payment is due to publishers. Historically, we have not experienced
substantial problems with unpaid accounts.
Commissions and fees related to our Interactive business are derived from:
- job postings and access to the resume database and related services
delivered via the Internet, primarily our own Web site, Monster.com(SM);
- searches for permanent and temporary employees, at the executive and
professional levels, and related services conducted through the Internet;
- Internet advertising services provided to our Yellow Page Advertising
clients;
- the providing of interactive advertising services and technologies, which
allow advertisers to measure and track sales, repeat traffic and other key
statistics to enable such advertisers to greatly reduce costs, while
driving only the most qualified users to their web sites and
42
<PAGE>
- online relocation services.
For Recruitment Advertising placements in the U.S., publisher commissions
historically average 15% of recruitment advertising gross billings. We also earn
fees from related services such as campaign development and design, retention
and referral programs, resume screening, brochures and other collateral
services, research and other creative and administrative services. Outside of
the U.S., where, collectively, we derive the majority of our Recruitment
Advertising commissions and fees, our commission rates for recruitment
advertising vary, historically ranging from approximately 10% in Australia to
15% in Canada and the United Kingdom.
Search & Selection offers an advanced and comprehensive range of services
aimed at identifying the appropriate professional or executive from mid-level to
CEO for our clients. Executive search identifies senior executives who typically
earn in excess of $250,000 annually, while selection identifies mid-level
professionals or executives, who typically earn between $75,000 and $150,000,
annually. Our specialized Search & Selection services include identification of
candidates, competence measurement, assessment of candidate/company cultural fit
and transaction negotiation and closure. We believe that our Search & Selection
services are helping to broaden the universe of both job seekers and employers
who utilize Monster.com(SM). Through the use of Monster.com(SM), Recruitment
Advertising and Search & Selection, we believe that we can accommodate all of
our clients' employee recruitment needs.
We design and execute Yellow Page Advertising, receiving an effective
commission rate from directory publishers which historically approximated 20% of
Yellow Page Advertising gross billings. However, due to reductions in commission
rates by the publishers and higher discounts granted to us by clients, the rate
has declined and for 1999 was approximately 19% and has declined to
approximately 17.5% since the middle of 2000. 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. We typically recognize this additional commission, if
any, in the fourth quarter, when it is certain that such commission has been
earned. No such amounts were reported in the fourth quarter of 1999.
Interactive commissions and fees were $68.4 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000, an increase of $46.9 million over the first quarter of 1999
which had commissions and fees of $21.5 million. This growth reflects an
increase in the acceptance of our Interactive products and services by existing
and new clients and the effect of increased sales and marketing activities.
TMP's Internet operations also reported an operating profit of $10.8 million for
the first quarter ended March 31, 2000, representing an operating margin of
15.9%. Search & Selection commissions and fees increased 15.6% to $86.8 million
for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to $75.1 million for the
same prior year period, reflecting continued strong demand for permanent
professional employees worldwide, particularly in mid-level management positions
(annual salaries ranging from $75,000 to $150,000). In addition, Temporary
Contracting commissions and fees increased 23.2% to $19.7 million for the first
quarter of 2000 versus $16.0 million for the same period last year, reflecting
the resumption of strong demand for temporary staffing in Australia,
particularly in the information technology sector. Recruitment Advertising
commissions and fees were flat at $45.7 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2000 versus $45.6 million for the first quarter of 1999, resulting from only
modest growth in traditional media billings, a 2.3% increase, which reflects
increased hiring needs, offset by a reduced level of higher margin collateral
services for the quarter. Yellow Page Advertising billings increased 11.0% to
$133.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. However, commissions and
fees decreased 2.1% to $23.3 million for the first quarter of 2000 compared to
$23.8 million for the prior year period, reflecting substantially reduced
commissions paid by publishers and the effects of higher discounts paid to
certain large clients. Total commissions and fees as a percent of related
billings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000 were 45.7% as compared to
40.8% for the prior year period. The higher percentage reflects increased sales
volume for Interactive and Search & Selection, where the Company retains greater
portions of the amounts billed.

Interactive commissions and fees increased from $19.5 million in 1997 to
$133.5 million in 1999 reflecting an increase in the acceptance of our
Interactive products by existing and new clients and the effect of increased
sales and marketing activities. Recruitment Advertising commissions and fees
increased from $134.3 million in 1997 to $178.1 million in 1999 as a result of
acquisitions made from January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1999, which are
included in our financial statements using the purchase method of accounting
from their respective dates of acquisition, and organic growth. Executive Search
and Selection commissions and fees grew from $242.8 million in 1997 to $295.7
million in 1999 primarily as a result of increased demand for permanent
professional employees worldwide, particularly in mid-level management positions
(annual salaries ranging from $75,000--$150,000). Temporary Contracting
commissions and fees increased from $41.3 million in 1997 to $57.1 million in
1999, reflecting a greater demand for executive and information technology
temporary contract personnel. Yellow Page Advertising commissions and fees
decreased from $103.9 million in 1997 to $101.3 million in 1999, reflecting
substantially reduced commission rates and year-end incentives paid by
publishers and the effects of higher discounts for certain clients offset, in
part, by the benefits from higher gross billings, internal growth and
acquisitions. We are continuously monitoring the marketplace for opportunities
to expand our presence in recruitment advertising on the Internet, executive
search and selection, temporary contracting and yellow page advertising and
intend to continue our acquisition strategy to supplement our internal growth
and the expansion of our businesses.
Based on our consolidated results for the periods ended March 31, 2000 and
1999, 47%, and 50%, respectively, of our consolidated commissions & fees were
attributable to clients outside the U.S.
Based on our consolidated results for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997, 46%, 44%, and 42%, respectively, of our consolidated commissions
and fees were attributable to clients outside the U.S.
Our total operating expenses have increased significantly since 1997
primarily as a result of acquisitions and added expenses to support gross
billings growth for our Interactive, recruitment advertising and executive
search and selection businesses and marketing and promotion for our Interactive
business.
Salaries and related costs increased $126.1 million to $436.3 million for
the year ended December 31, 1999 from $310.2 million for the year ended December
31, 1997, a 40.7% increase, supporting a $405.0 million or a 28.0% increase in
gross billings over the same period. When measured as a percent of gross
billings, salaries and related costs for the year ended December 31, 1999 were
23.6%, compared to 21.4% for the comparable 1997 period. Salaries and related
costs include total payroll and associated benefits as well as payroll taxes,
sales commissions, recruitment fees and training costs.
Office and general expenses increased $38.9 million to $179.6 million for
the year ended December 31, 1999 from $140.7 million for the year ended December
31, 1997, a 27.7% increase. This increase is due primarily to increased costs
needed to support the increased gross billings and the expansion of Interactive,
Recruitment Advertising and Executive Search and Selection offices through
acquisitions in the U.S., Europe and the Asia Pacific region. When measured as a
percent of gross billings, office and general expenses for the year ended
December 31, 1999 were 9.7%, flat with the comparable 1997 period. This cost
category includes expenses for office operations, market research for yellow
page advertising clients and fees paid to our primary lending institution for
its services in the processing and collection of payments for accounts
receivable, gains or losses from the sale of operating assets, and costs
associated with legal settlements.
Marketing and promotion costs increased 433.2% or $52.7 million to $64.9
million from $12.2 million as a result of spending to promote the growth of our
Interactive business. When measured as a percent of gross billings, marketing
and promotion expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 were 3.5%, a
substantial increase from 0.8% for the comparable 1997 period.

Merger and integration costs are expenses incurred in connection with
business combinations accounted for under the pooling of interests method of
accounting. In general, these costs are comprised of transaction costs (such as
advisory, legal and accounting fees, printing costs and costs incurred for the
subsequent registration of shares in connection with the transactions), stay
bonuses, costs to eliminate redundant facilities and personnel, costs to
integrate operations of the pooled entities and acceleration of benefits and
separation pay in accordance with pre-existing contractual change in control
provisions.
For the year ended December 31, 1999, we expensed merger and integration
costs of $63.1 million compared with $22.4 million for the same period in 1998,
an increase of $40.7 million or 181.3%. These costs are related to the 1998
Mergers and the mergers that occurred during 1999. The increase of $40.7 million
primarily resulted from the pooling of interests transactions that occurred in
the quarter ended September 30, 1999, including the merger with LAI, and the
planned integration of such companies. The increase is due to: (1) $32.5 million
of office integration costs, which include the closing of excess leased
facilities, the write-off of fixed assets which will not be used in the future
and a reserve for the effect, after reduction for related compensation, of
uncollectible search fees recorded as a result of a loss of executive search
consultants (2) $9.6 million for separation pay and accelerated vesting of
employee stock and stock option grants, both in accordance with pre-existing
contractual change in control provisions and (3) $3.6 million more of
transaction related costs, which include legal, accounting, printing and
advisory fees and the costs incurred for the subsequent registration of shares
issued in the transactions, partially offset by $5.0 million less for employee
stay bonuses paid with our shares and options to certain key personnel of the
merged companies. Approximately $24.1 million of the $63.1 million are non-cash
charges. The after tax effect of these charges on diluted earnings per share is
$(0.53) and $(0.21) for the year ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
We expect to incur additional integration costs in connection with the Third
Quarter 1999 Mergers in future periods. These costs will be primarily related to
severance and will be recorded when the associated integration plans are
finalized. Furthermore, we will incur merger and integration costs associated
with the Fourth Quarter 1999 Mergers, including amortization of the cost of
320,240 shares of our common stock that were issued as stay bonuses to certain
key employees of Highland and that will vest one year from the date of grant.
For the year ended December 31, 1998, we expensed merger and integration
costs of $22.4 million in connection with the 1998 Mergers and the M&B Merger.
These costs consist of (1) $11.9 million of non-cash employee stay bonuses, (2)
$1.5 million of stay bonuses paid as cash to key personnel of the 1998 Pooled
Companies and (3) $9.0 million of transaction related costs, including legal,
accounting and advisory fees and the costs incurred for the subsequent
registration of shares issued in the mergers.
Restructuring charges for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $2.8 million
compared to $3.5 million for the prior year or, on an after tax basis, $(0.02)
and $(0.03) per diluted share, respectively. These charges relate to LAI's
closing of its London and Hong Kong offices, and include the write-off of
leasehold improvements and fixed assets, severance benefits and costs for
consolidation of facilities related to the restructuring.
Amortization of intangibles includes amortization of acquisition related
charges, including the costs in excess of fair market value of net assets of
business acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method and capitalized
costs for non-compete arrangements with the principals of acquired companies.
This acquisition related amortization was $11.4 million, $10.2 million and $6.9
million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The special CEO bonus for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 of $1.3
million and $1.5 million reflects non-cash charges, recorded in compliance with
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 79 ("SAB 79"), for a bonus mandated by Andrew J.
McKelvey's employment contract, even though such bonus was irrevocably waived.
The contractual obligation to pay such bonus was eliminated as of
November 1998.
Net interest expense includes interest: (i) on loans made by our primary
lender under our financing agreement with such lender, (ii) to certain vendors,
(iii) on capitalized lease obligations, (iv) on net
45
<PAGE>
amounts payable to the holders of seller financed notes and (v) on a term loan
related to the purchase of certain transportation equipment.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1999
Gross billings for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $534.0
million, an increase of $87.6 million or 19.6% from $446.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. Total commissions and fees for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 were $244.0 million, an increase of $61.9 million or 34.0%
from $182.1 million for the comparable period in 1999. Interactive commissions
and fees for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $68.4 million, an
increase of $46.9 million or 218.7% compared with $21.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. The increase in Interactive commissions and fees
from the March 1999 period to the March 2000 period is due to: (i) an increasing
acceptance of our Interactive services and products from existing clients, new
clients and Internet users, (ii) the benefits of Monster.com(SM)'s marketing
campaign, (iii) increases in the services and content available on our websites,
(iv) expansion into certain European markets, (v) price increases on certain
products, and (vi) the migration of our traditional businesses to the Internet.
Recruitment Advertising commissions and fees were flat at $45.7 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 versus $45.6 million for the first quarter of
1999 reflecting modest growth in traditional billings of 2.3% and a reduced
amount of higher margin collateral work. Search & Selection commissions and fees
were $86.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, an increase of
$11.8 million or 15.7% from $75.1 million for the comparable three months of
1999, due primarily to increased demand for permanent professional employees
worldwide, which contributed to organic growth, and acquisitions in Europe.
Temporary Contracting commissions and fees were $19.7 million, up $3.7 million
or 23.2% from $16.0 million for the period ended March 31, 1999. The increase
reflects the resumption of strong demand for temporary staffing in Australia,
particularly in the information technology sector. Yellow Page Advertising
commissions and fees were $23.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
2000, a decrease of $0.5 million or 2.1% from $23.8 million for the comparable
three months of 1999. This decrease was due to substantially reduced commissions
paid by publishers and the effects of higher discounts paid to certain large
clients.
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $231.8
million, compared with $180.3 million for the same period in 1999, an increase
of $51.5 million or 28.5%. The increase is primarily due $27.4 million in higher
salaries and related costs due to organic growth and acquisitions, and $18.4
million in marketing and promotion expenses primarily related to
Monster.com(SM).
Salaries and related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were
$136.5 million, compared with $109.1 million for the same period in 1999. The
increase of $27.4 million or 25.1% is primarily due to organic growth in Search
& Selection, Interactive and Temporary Contracting operations and acquisitions.
Because the growth in total commissions and fees outpaced the growth in salaries
and related expenses, salary and related expenses as a percent of commissions
and fees declined from 59.9% to 55.9%. This decline in expenses as a percent of
commissions and fees is primarily due to the organic growth mentioned above.
Office and general expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were
$55.0 million compared with $51.1 million for the same period in 1999, an
increase of $3.9 million or 7.7%. The increase reflects organic growth in
Interactive, Search & Selection and Temporary Contracting operations, partially
offset by savings through consolidation of back offices and support functions in
Recruitment and Yellow Pages Advertising. Because the growth in total
commissions and fees outpaced the growth in office and general expenses, office
and general expenses as a percent of commissions and fees declined from 28.1% to
22.6%. This decline in expenses as a percent of commissions & fees is primarily
due to the organic growth mentioned above as well as cost reductions in
Recruitment and Yellow Pages Advertising, where commissions & fees remained
relatively unchanged from the March 1999 quarter to the March 2000 quarter.
Marketing and promotion expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000
were $28.3 million or 11.6% of commissions and fees, compared with $9.9 million
or 5.4% of commissions and fees for the same period in 1999. The increase of
$18.4 million or 186.2% is primarily due to higher marketing costs for
Monster.com(SM) and reflect the Company's plan to increase the promoting of
Monster.com(SM) with funds provided from increased revenues. The first quarter
2000 expenses include a pro rata charge pursuant to
47
<PAGE>
the content and marketing agreement with America Online, Inc. ("AOL") whereby
Monster.com(SM), for the payment of $100 million over four years, would be the
exclusive provider of career search services in the U.S. and Canada to AOL
members across 7 AOL properties, AOL, AOL Canada, Compuserve, ICQ, AOL.com,
Netscape and Digital City.
Merger and integration costs for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were
$8.7 million compared with $4.7 million for the same period in 1999, an increase
of $4.0 million or 85.1%. The majority of the $8.7 million relates to the
acquisition of HW Group PLC in 2000. Also included in the 2000 amount was $2.3
million for the amortization of employee stay bonuses payable in stock in
connection with certain of the acquisitions consummated in 1999 and accounted
for as poolings of interests. The majority of the $4.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 related to the Morgan & Banks Ltd. pooling of
interests transaction, completed during the first quarter of 1999. Also included
in the 1999 amount was $1.5 million for the amortization of employee stay
bonuses which is payable in stock in connection with certain of the acquisitions
completed in 1998 and accounted for as poolings of interests.
As a result of the above, operating income for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 was $12.2 million, an increase of $10.5 million or 606.2% from
$1.7 million for the comparable period in 1999.
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $2.8
million, compared with a net interest expense of $2.6 million for the comparable
1999 period, an improvement of $5.4 million or 209.1%. This improvement
primarily reflects the investing of net proceeds from the Company's February
2000 follow-on offering after a significant portion of existing long-term debt
was repaid with a portion of such proceeds. The Company completed the follow-on
public offering of 4.0 million (8.0 million, adjusted for the February 29, 2000
2-for-1 stock split) shares of common stock on February 2, 2000. The net
proceeds raised by the Company totaled $594.2 million.
Taxes on income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $7.6 million
on pre-tax profit of $14.9 million, compared with a tax benefit of $0.7 million
on pre-tax loss of $0.5 million the first quarter of 1999. The increase of $8.3
million reflects the higher pretax profit in the three months ended March 31,
2000. In addition, the provisions reflect expenses that are not tax deductible;
these are primarily related to merger costs from pooling of interests
transactions and amortization of intangible assets. For both periods the
provision is benefited by profits from certain pooled entities which were not
taxed at the corporate level prior to their merger with TMP.
Minority interests in consolidated earnings for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 was an $81,000 loss compared with a profit of $99,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999.
Equity in losses of unconsolidated subsidiaries, which reflected losses
associated with the real estate advertising company in which the Company holds a
minority interest, was $100,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
As a result of all of the above, the net income available to common and
Class B common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $7.4
million, an increase of $7.4 million from the net loss of $46,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. On a diluted per share basis, the net income
available to common and Class B common stockholders for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 was $0.08, compared to a break even position for the comparable
1999.
THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
Gross billings for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $1,851.7 million, a
net increase of $101.0 million or 5.8% from $1,750.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998. Total commissions & fees for the year ended December 31, 1999
were $765.8 million, an increase of $108.3 million or 16.5% from $657.5 million
for the year ended December 31, 1998. Interactive commissions & fees for the
year ended December 31, 1999 were $133.5 million, an increase of 166.2% or $83.3
million as compared with $50.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1998.
This increase in Interactive commissions & fees is due to: (i) an increasing
acceptance of our Interactive services and products from existing clients, new
clients and
48
<PAGE>
Internet users, (ii) the benefits of Monster.com(SM)'s marketing campaign,
(iii) increases in the services and content available on our Websites,
(iv) expansion into certain European markets and (v) price increases on certain
products. Recruitment Advertising commissions & fees of $178.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999 were virtually flat compared with $177.8 million
for the year ended December 31, 1998, reflecting reduced billings due to lower
volume of help-wanted advertisements placed in newspapers and a loss of business
in the Asia Pacific Region offset by substantial reductions in client discounts
and increased ancillary services in North America and an increase in business in
Europe. Executive Search and Selection commissions & fees were $295.7 million,
an increase of $19.6 million or 7.1% from $276.1 million for the comparable year
of 1998, due primarily to acquisitions and growth in continental Europe, offset
by a decline in executive search due to a loss of consultants, as anticipated,
at LAI and TASA, which resulted from the merger & integration of these
companies. Temporary Contracting commissions & fees were $57.1 million, up $10.1
million or 21.6% from $47.0 million for the period ended December 31, 1998.
TMP's temporary contracting operations are primarily conducted in Australia and
New Zealand. The 21.6% increase reflects an increase in the number of
contractors placed, particularly information technology personnel and
executives, which have higher margins than general and support staff. Yellow
Page Advertising commissions & fees were $101.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999, a decrease of $5.2 million or 4.8% from $106.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 1998, reflecting substantially reduced commission
rates and year-end incentives paid by publishers and the effects of higher
discounts for certain clients offset, in part, by the benefits from higher gross
billings, internal growth and acquisitions.
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $758.0 million
compared with $610.3 million for the same period in 1998. The increase of $147.7
million or 24.2% is due to $53.6 million more in salary and related costs, an
increase of $40.7 million in merger & integration costs related to mergers
accounted for as poolings of interests, $40.2 million more in marketing and
promotion expenses to support our expanding Interactive operations, and $14.1
million more in office and general expenses.
Salaries and related costs for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $436.3
million or 57.0% of total commissions & fees, compared with $382.7 million or
58.2% of total commissions & fees for the same period in 1998. The increase of
$53.6 million or 14.0% is primarily due to increased staff for the expansion of
our Interactive operations, especially Monster.com(SM), and acquisitions in
Executive Search and Selection.
Office and general expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $179.6
million or 23.4% of total commissions & fees, compared with $165.5 million or
25.2% of commissions & fees for the same period in 1998. The increase of $14.1
million or 8.5% is primarily due to acquisitions and higher costs for our
Interactive operations, partially offset by reductions in expenses for the
yellow page advertising and recruitment advertising businesses, due to improved
efficiencies.
Marketing and promotion expenses increased $40.2 million to $64.9 million
for the year ended December 31, 1999 from $24.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998, a 163.0% increase due to increased spending to promote
Monster.com(SM).
Merger and integration costs for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $63.1
million compared with $22.4 million for the same period in 1998 an increase of
$40.7 million or 181.3%. This increase primarily resulted from the pooling of
interests transactions that occurred during the year ended December 31, 1999 and
the planned integration of such companies and is due to: (1) $32.5 million of
office integration costs, which include the closing of excess leased facilities,
the write-off of fixed assets which will not be used in the future and a reserve
for the effect, after reduction for related compensation, of uncollectible
search fees resulting from a loss of executive search consultants, (2) $9.6
million for separation pay and accelerated vesting of employee stock and stock
option grants, both in accordance with pre-existing contractual change in
control provisions, and (3) $3.6 million more of transaction related costs,
which include legal, accounting, printing and advisory fees and the costs
incurred for the subsequent registration of shares issued in the transactions,
partially offset by $5.0 million less for employee stay bonuses paid primarily
with TMP shares and options to certain key personnel of the merged companies.
Approximately
49
<PAGE>
$24.1 million of the $63.1 million are non-cash charges. The after tax effect of
these charges on diluted earnings per share is $(0.53) and $(0.21) for the year
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Restructuring charges for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $2.8 million
or, on an after tax basis, $(0.02) per diluted share compared with $3.5 million
or, on an after tax basis $(0.03) per diluted share for the year ended
December 31, 1998. These charges relate to LAI's closing of its London and Hong
Kong offices. These charges include $0.5 million for the write-off of leasehold
improvements and fixed assets, $1.3 million for severance benefits payable to 24
employees, and $1.0 million for consolidation of facilities related to the
restructuring.
As a result of the above, operating income for the year ended December 31,
1999 decreased $39.4 million or 83.4% to $7.8 million from $47.2 million for the
comparable period last year.
Net interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $8.8 million,
a decrease of $1.0 million or 10.4% from $9.8 million for the same period in
1998, reflecting lower interest rates and borrowing costs resulting from the
amended and restated financing agreement entered into on November 5, 1998 and
lower borrowings.
Taxes on income for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $5.5 million on a
$1.5 million pretax loss compared with a tax expense of $14.4 million on a $35.3
million pretax profit. The provisions reflect expenses that are not tax
deductible; these are primarily related to merger costs from pooling of
interests transactions and amortization of intangible assets. For both periods
the provision is benefited by profits from Highland and certain other pooled
entities which were not taxed at the corporate level prior to the merger with
TMP.
As a result of all of the above, the net loss applicable to common and
Class B common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $0.09 per
diluted share, a decrease of $0.35 per share or 134.6% from the net income of
$0.26 per diluted share for the comparable 1998 period.
THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
Gross billings for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $1,750.7 million, a
$304.0 million or 21.0% increase when compared to gross billings of $1,446.7
million for the year ended December 31, 1997. This increase in gross billings
resulted primarily from acquisitions in Recruitment Advertising and growth in
our Executive Search & Selection and Interactive businesses.
Total commissions & fees for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $657.5
million, an increase of $115.7 million or 21.3% from $541.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 1997. Interactive commissions & fees for the year ended
December 31, 1998 were $50.2 million, an increase of 157.6% or $30.7 million
from $19.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase in
Interactive commissions & fees is due to (i) an increasing acceptance of our
Interactive services and products from existing clients and Internet users, (ii)
the benefits of Monster.com(SM)'s marketing campaign, (iii) increases in the
service and content available on our Websites, (iv) expansion into certain
European markets and (v) price increases on certain products. Recruitment
Advertising commissions & fees were $177.8 million for the year ended December
31, 1998 compared with $134.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, an
increase of $43.5 million or 32.4%. This increase was primarily due to (1)
acquisitions, which contributed approximately $25.1 million, and (2)
approximately $21.4 million from increased client spending and new clients,
partially offset by client losses and a decrease in foreign currency translation
rates, which had a negative effect of approximately $3.0 million. Executive
Search and Selection commissions & fees were $276.1 million compared with $242.8
million for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of $33.3 million or
13.7%, due primarily to acquisitions and increased business from existing
clients and new clients. Temporary Contracting commissions & fees increased to
$47.0 million from $41.3 million, an increase of $5.7 million or 13.8%. This
increase is primarily due to a greater number of temporary contract workers
placed during 1998 as compared with the prior period, and reflects growth in the
executive temporary contracting business, and to a lesser extent growth for
clerical and support staff. Yellow Page Advertising commissions & fees were
$106.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 compared with $103.9
50
<PAGE>
million for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of 2.4% or $2.6
million due primarily to acquisitions.
Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $610.3
million, compared with $471.4 million for 1997. The increase of $138.9 million
or 29.5% is due primarily to acquisitions and internal growth, together with the
addition of $22.4 million for merger & integration costs related to pooling of
interests transactions and $3.5 million in restructuring charges for the closing
of LAI's London, England and Hong Kong offices.
Salaries and related costs for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $382.7
million or 58.2% of total commissions & fees, compared with $310.2 million or
57.2% of total commissions & fees for the same period in 1997, representing an
increase of $72.5 million or 23.4%. This increase reflects acquisitions in
Executive Search and Selection and Recruitment Advertising and growth in
Interactive operations.
Office and general expenses increased $24.8 million to $165.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 1998, as compared with $140.7 million for the prior
period primarily due to acquisitions and other expenses to grow our Interactive
businesses. As a percent of total commissions & fees, office and general
expenses decreased to 25.2% for the year ended December 31, 1998 from 26.0% for
the year ended December 31, 1997.
Marketing and promotion expenses increased $12.5 million to $24.7 million
for the year ended December 31, 1998 from $12.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 1997, a 102.7% increase due to increased marketing for our
Interactive operations, especially Monster.com(SM).
In connection with the 1998 Mergers and the M&B Merger, we expensed merger &
integration costs of $22.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1998,
consisting of (1) $11.9 million of non-cash employee stay bonuses, which
included (a) $3.6 million for the amortization for TMP shares set aside for key
personnel of JSK and TCG, who must remain employees for a full year in order to
earn such shares and (b) $8.3 million for TMP shares to key personnel of TASA
and Stackig as employee stay bonuses, (2) $1.5 million of stay bonuses paid as
cash to key personnel of one of the companies merged in 1998 and (3) $9.0
million of transaction related costs, including fees for legal, accounting and
advisory services and the costs incurred for the subsequent registration of
shares issued in the acquisitions. The after tax effect of this charge is $16.7
million or $(0.21) per diluted share.
Restructuring charges for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $3.5 million
or, on an after tax basis, $(0.03) per diluted share and relate to LAI's plan to
significantly curtail the operations of its international office in London,
England. These charges include $1.1 million for severance, and $2.4 million for
the write-off of leasehold improvements and other costs to close these
facilities.
Amortization of intangibles was $10.2 million for the year ended December
31, 1998 compared to $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The
increase is due to our continued growth through acquisitions. As a percentage of
total commissions & fees, amortization of intangibles was 1.5% and 1.3% for the
year ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
As a result of all of the above, operating income decreased $23.3 million to
$47.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared with operating
income of $70.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 and, as a percent
of total commissions & fees, operating income decreased to 7.2% from 13.0%.
Net interest expense increased $1.4 million to $9.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $8.4 million for the year ended December
31, 1997, reflecting a net increase in debt as a result of acquisitions and
capital expenditures. In addition, our effective interest rate was 10.8% for the
year ended December 31, 1998 compared with 10.4% for the year ended
December 31, 1997.
Taxes on income decreased $6.2 million to $14.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998 from $20.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1997
primarily due to lower pre-tax income. The 1998 amount reflects the inability to
deduct for tax, certain costs associated with the 1998 Mergers and the M&B
Merger.
51
<PAGE>
For the year ended December 31, 1998, equity in losses of affiliates was
$396, reflecting losses at our minority owned real estate advertising affiliate,
as compared with a $33 loss for the same period in 1997. Minority interests in
consolidated earnings for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $28 compared
with $296 for the year ended December 31, 1997.
As a result of all of the above, the net income applicable to common and
Class B common stockholders was $20.5 million for the year ended December 31,
1998, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared with net income of $41.8 million, or
$0.57 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal capital requirements have been to fund (i) acquisitions,
(ii) working capital, (iii) capital expenditures and (iv) marketing and
development of our Interactive business. Our 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. We have met our liquidity needs over the last three years through (a)
funds provided by operating activities, (b) equity offerings, (c) long-term
borrowings and (d) capital leases. On January 27, 2000, in connection with its
third public offering, the Company issued an aggregate of, on a post-split
basis, 8,000,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $77 5/16 per
share. The offering was completed in February 2000. The net proceeds from this
offering were $594.2 million, and approximately $85 million was used to pay down
debt on the Company's credit line. The remainder is being invested in short and
medium term interest bearing instruments until used for acquisitions, strategic
equity investments and general corporate purposes.
Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter ended March 31,
2000 and 1999 was $54.7 million, and $13.2 million, respectively. The increase
in cash used in operating activities of $41.5 million for 2000 over 1999 was
primarily due to (a) a $34.0 million greater increase in accounts receivable for
the 2000 period over the 1999 period, related mostly to recruitment and
Interactive operations (b) a $24.5 million greater decrease in cash from
accounts payable and accrued liabilities and (c) a $15.0 million greater
increase in the use of funds for work-in-process and prepaid and other assets
for the 2000 period over the 1999 period, partially offset by (a) a $17.0
million increase in earnings after adjusting for non-cash items (b) a $10.4
million greater increase in deferred commissions & fees and (c) a $4.6 million
smaller decrease from the effects of including losses from pooled companies in
both the current and previous period.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997 was $93.8 million, $63.6 million and $51.3 million,
respectively. The increase in cash of $30.2 million from operating activities
for 1999 over 1998 was primarily due to (a) the net increase in funds from a
$48.9 million greater increase in deferred revenue, primarily from
Monster.com(SM), for the 1999 period over the 1998 period, (b) a $7.0 million
effect from inclusion of losses in 1999 and profits in 1998 from companies
accounted for as poolings of interests, in both the current period and the
previous year, because of overlapping reporting periods reduced by (i) a $13.2
million net increase in the use of funds from increases in accounts receivable
over increases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, for
the 1999 period over the 1998 period, (ii) a $2.0 million increase in
work-in-process and prepaid and other assets and (iii) a $10.5 million decline
in earnings after adjusting for non-cash items. The increase in cash of $12.3
million from operating activities for 1998 over 1997 was primarily due to an
increase of $17.9 million in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other
current liabilities, a $12.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization
costs, $8.3 million for the utilization of our common stock to pay bonuses, a
decrease of $7.3 million in accounts receivable, $2.9 million from the net loss
on disposal of fixed assets and a $3.2 million increase in deferred revenue,
partially offset by decreases in net income of $21.4 million, $7.9 million in
deferred income taxes and $10.7 million in work-in-process, prepaid and other
assets. In addition, in 1998 we paid approximately $13.6 million for
restructuring. Such amount was applied against a reserve set up during 1997 in
connection with acquisitions accounted for using the purchase method. This
reserve was increased in 1998 by a $3.5 million charge to earnings and by $10.1
million, with a
52
<PAGE>
corresponding increase to intangible assets, and reduced by payments of $13.6
million, leaving a restructuring reserve at December 31, 1998 of $16.7 million.
EBITDA was $25.7 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000, an
increase of $13.9 million or 117.7% from $11.8 million for the first quarter
ended March 31, 1999. The increase primarily reflects, for the 2000 period, a
$10.5 million increase in operating profits, $3.5 million more in depreciation
and amortization costs. As a percentage of commissions and fees, EBITDA
increased to 10.6% for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000 as compared with
6.5% for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999. The higher percent reflects the
improved operating margins, which were 5.0% and 0.9% of commissions and fees for
the 2000 and 1999 periods, respectively.
EBITDA was $49.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, a decrease of
$29.9 million or 37.7% from $79.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The decrease primarily reflects, for the 1999 period, a $39.4 million decrease
in operating profits partially offset by $8.1 million more in depreciation and
amortization costs and $8.9 million less in income taxes. As a percentage of
commissions & fees, EBITDA decreased to 6.4% for the year ended December 31,
1999 as compared with 12.0% for the year ended December 31, 1998. The lower
percent reflects the increase in merger & integration and restructuring costs,
which were 8.6% and 3.9% of commissions & fees for the 1999 and 1998 periods,
respectively. EBITDA was $79.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, a
decrease of $13.3 million from $92.4 million for the year ended December 31,
1997. As a percentage of total commissions and fees, EBITDA decreased to 12.0%
for the year ended December 31, 1998 from 17.1% for the year ended December 31,
1997. The decrease resulted primarily from the $18.0 million charge for merger
costs ($22.4 million less $4.4 million in amortization of deferred
compensation), which was 2.7% of total commissions and fees for the year ended
December 31, 1998, offset, in part, by increased depreciation and amortization
of $12.9 million.
Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarters ended March 31,
2000 and 1999 was $29.6 million and $21.9 million, respectively. The $7.7
million increase in cash used in 2000 compared to 1999 was due to an increase in
capital expenditures.
Net cash used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997 was $58.8 million, $66.5 million and $89.7 million, respectively.
The decrease in 1999 of $7.7 million as compared to 1998 was primarily due to an
increase of $9.1 million received from the sale of transportation equipment and
$4.6 million less used for business acquisitions, partially offset by $8.4
million more in capital expenditures. The $23.2 million decrease in 1998 as
compared with 1997 was primarily due to $34.1 million less in payments for
acquisitions, reflecting the use of company stock to make acquisitions of
businesses, offset in part by $0.4 million more in capital expenditures and
during 1997 our receipt of a net $11.4 million from the Principal Stockholder
and certain other stockholders, who repaid borrowings with funds received
primarily from their sale of shares included with our second public offering.
Payments for businesses acquired using the purchase method of accounting,
excluding $5.5 million in TMP stock, were $28.2 million in 1999, $32.8 million
in 1998 and $66.9 million in 1997, of which $47.2 million was for Austin Knight.
Capital expenditures, primarily for computer equipment and software and
furniture and fixtures, were $40.3 million, $31.9 million and $31.6 million for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In addition, in
1997, we acquired certain transportation equipment and made capital improvements
for a total of $6.8 million and simultaneously entered into a $7.8 million
financing agreement to fund the purchase and provide additional operating funds.
Our financing activities include equity offerings, borrowings and repayments
under our bank financing agreements and issuance of and payments on
(i) installment notes, principally to finance acquisitions, (ii) capital leases
and (iii) equipment. Our financing activities for the year ended December 31,
1999 used net cash of $50.8 million and provided $20.1 million and $65.5 million
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The change of
$70.9 million from 1998 to 1999 resulted primarily from $41.6 million in
proceeds from a common stock offering by LAI in the 1998 period and an increase
in net repayments in the 1999 period to $57.2 million against credit facilities
and capitalized lease obligations
53
<PAGE>
compared with total net repayments of $6.7 million in the prior year period,
offset in part by a $16.9 million increase in cash received from the exercise of
employee stock options and a $4.3 million decline in dividends paid by pooled
companies in the 1999 period from the 1998 period. The change of $45.4 million
from 1997 to 1998 was primarily due to LAI's initial public offering for net
proceeds of $25.4 million and TMP's second public offering of 4,800,000 shares
of common stock for net proceeds of $51.2 million in the third quarter of 1997
compared with net proceeds of $41.6 million from LAI's follow-on offering in
1998. With a portion of the proceeds received from TMP's initial public offering
in January 1997, we redeemed all of the shares of the cumulative preferred stock
issued by a subsidiary, reported as a minority interest, and our previously
issued preferred stock for approximately $3.1 million and $2.1 million,
respectively. Such redemptions included approximately $100,000 each of premiums.
In November, 1998 and 1997 we amended our financing agreement with our primary
lender to provide for borrowings, under a revolving credit facility, of a
minimum of $175 million. In May 1999 we increased this amount to $185 million.
This facility is used to finance our acquisitions and for working capital
requirements. Our financing activities for the first quarters ended March 31,
2000 and March 31, 1999 provided net cash of $546.5 million and $12.1 million,
respectively. The change of $534.4 million resulted primarily from $594.2
million in proceeds from our follow-on common stock offering and a $6.1 million
increase in cash received from the exercise of employee stock options, partially
offset by net repayments in the 2000 period of $55.7 million against credit
facilities and capitalized lease obligations compared with a net borrowing of
$9.3 million in the prior year period.
At March 31, 2000, we had a $185 million committed line of credit from our
primary lender pursuant to a revolving credit agreement expiring November 5,
2003. Of such line, at March 31, 2000, approximately $161.3 million was unused
and accounts receivable, as defined in the agreement, is sufficient to allow
draw down of the entire amount. In addition, we have lines of credit aggregating
$19.1 million for our operations in Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium and
the Netherlands of which approximately $10.7 million was unused at March 31,
2000.
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2000 were $515.7 million, an increase
of $460.7 million from $55.0 million at December 31, 1999, and were $459.6
million higher than the March 31, 1999 balance of $56.1 million.
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1999 were $56.8 million, a
decrease of $16.7 million from $73.5 million at December 31, 1998.
Part of our acquisition strategy is to pay, over time, a portion of the
purchase price of certain acquisitions through seller financed notes.
Accordingly, such notes are included in long-term debt, are generally payable
over five years and totaled approximately $5.3 million at December 31, 1999 and
$7.2 million at March 31, 2000. We intend to continue our acquisition strategy
and the marketing and promotion of our Interactive businesses through the use of
cash-on-hand, operating profits, issuance of additional shares of our common
stock, borrowings against our long-term debt facility and seller financed notes.
We believe that our anticipated cash flow from operations, cash-on-hand, as well
as the availability of funds under our existing financing agreements and further
access to public equity and debt markets, will provide us with sufficient
liquidity to meet our current foreseeable cash needs for at least the next year.
However, if we determine that conditions are favorable, we would consider
additional corporate equity or debt transactions.
In addition, the Company entered into a content and marketing agreement with
America Online Inc. whereby Monster.com(SM), for the payment of $100 million
over four years, would be the exclusive provider of career search services in
the U.S. and Canada. (See "Risk Factors--Potential impact of third-party
litigation on our agreement with AOL".)
FLUCTUATIONS OF QUARTERLY RESULTS
Our 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
54
<PAGE>
directory publications which may have an effect on our quarterly results. Our
yellow page advertising results are also affected by commissions earned for
volume placements for the year, which are typically reported in the fourth
quarter. Our 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 our clients' employment needs have
an overriding impact on our quarterly results in recruitment advertising.
Moreover, our recruitment advertising acquisition activity has had more of an
impact on our recently reported quarterly results than any other factor.
The following table sets forth summary quarterly unaudited financial

BUSINESS
We have built Monster.com(sm) (http://www.monster.com) into the Internet's
leading career destination portal. We are the world's largest recruitment
advertising agency and one of the world's largest executive search and selection
firms. In addition to offering these career solutions, we are the world's
largest yellow page advertising agency. We have more than 31,000 clients,
including over 90 of the Fortune 100 and over 480 of the Fortune 500 companies.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
INTERACTIVE. The Internet is an increasingly significant global medium for
communications, content and commerce. Growth in Internet usage has been fueled
by a number of factors, including the availability of a growing number of useful
products and services, the large and growing installed base of personal
computers in the workplace and home, advances in the performance and speed of
personal computers and modems, improvements in network infrastructure, easier
and cheaper access to the Internet and increased awareness of the Internet among
businesses and consumers.
The increasing functionality, accessibility and overall usage of the
Internet and online services have made them an attractive commercial medium.
Thousands of companies have created corporate websites that feature information
about their product offerings and advertise employment opportunities. Through
the web, Internet content providers are able to deliver timely, personalized
content in a manner not possible through traditional media. Internet content can
be continuously updated, distributed to a large number of consumers on a
real-time basis, and accessed by users at any time. Industry publications
indicate that the historical and projected adoption of online/Internet services
represents a faster rate of penetration than occurred with traditional media,
such as radio, broadcast television and cable television.
For job seekers, online recruiting can provide the ability to rapidly and
more easily build, update and distribute their resumes, conduct job searches and
gather information about employers. Online recruiting can also help to reduce
the time of a job search by permitting job seekers to define their specific job
needs and be contacted automatically when desired jobs become available. Online
recruiting is also proving to be attractive to employers because online job
advertisements can be accessed by job seekers anywhere in the world at anytime
and more cost effectively than print media. Forrester Research estimates that
online spending by employers for recruitment will grow from $411 million in 1999
to $3.2 billion in 2004.
THE RECRUITMENT ADVERTISING MARKET. Recruitment advertising traditionally
consists 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 1998, the U.S.
market grew at a compound annual rate of approximately 13%. Classified
readership by job seekers has remained constant over the last ten years and
approximately 85% 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 internationally "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, 1998, global spending (billings) in the recruitment classified
advertisement section of newspapers was approximately $13 billion. Agencies
which place recruitment classified advertising are paid commissions generally
equal to 15% of recruitment advertising placed in newspapers and earn fees for
providing additional recruitment services.
EXECUTIVE SEARCH. The market for executive search firms is generally
separated into two broad categories: retained executive search firms and
contingency executive search firms. Retained executive search firms service
their clients' senior management needs by acting in an ongoing client-consultant
relationship to actively identify, evaluate, assess and recommend to the client
suitable candidates for senior level positions. Retained search firms are
generally engaged on an exclusive basis and paid a contractually
57
<PAGE>
agreed-to fee. Contingency executive search firms typically do not focus on the
senior executives and are generally paid a percentage of the hired candidate's
salary only when a candidate is successfully placed with the client. Contingency
firms are generally not hired on an exclusive basis and do not focus on the
assessment, evaluation or recommendation of a candidate other than to determine
if the candidate's resume qualifies him/her for the position. We provide
executive search services on a retained basis. Our executive search service
identifies senior executives who typically earn in excess of $250,000 annually.
SELECTION AND TEMPORARY CONTRACTING. The mid-market selection business
identifies for our clients those professionals, below the CEO level, who
typically earn between $50,000 and $150,000. We have identified a suite of
products geared towards this market which seek to predict whether a candidate
will be successful in a given role. Temporary contracting supplements our
selection services. According to the Staffing Industry Report, the United States
temporary staffing industry grew from approximately $29 billion in revenue in
1993 to approximately $62 billion in revenue in 1998. In addition, third party
sources estimate the worldwide temporary staffing market at more than
$130 billion. The temporary staffing industry has experienced significant growth
in response to the changing work environment. These changes are a result of
increasing automation that has resulted and we believe will continue to result
in shorter technological cycles, and global competitive pressures. Many
employers responded to these challenges by turning to temporary and contract
personnel to keep personnel costs variable, achieve maximum flexibility,
outsource highly specialized skills, and avoid the negative effect of layoffs.
We believe fundamental changes in the employer-employee relationship continue to
occur, with employers developing increasingly stringent criteria for permanent
employees, while moving toward project-oriented temporary and contract hiring.
THE YELLOW PAGE ADVERTISING MARKET. Yellow page directories have been
published in the U.S. since at least the 1890's 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 the year ended December 31, 1999, total spending on yellow page
advertisements in the U.S. was $12.7 billion. Of this amount, approximately
$10.7 billion was spent by local accounts and approximately $2.0 billion was
spent by national accounts. As those terms are used in the yellow page industry,
"local" refers to an advertisement solicited by a yellow page publisher's own
sales staff and "national" refers to an advertisement that is placed by an
advertising agency and that 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, which is the client base that we service,
consists of companies that sell products or services in multiple markets. 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
advertising are paid commissions by yellow page publishers. The market has grown
each year since 1981. During the period of 1990 through 1999, the market has
grown at a compound average rate of approximately 6.4%.
OUR CAREER SOLUTIONS
"INTERN TO CEO" MIGRATION TO INTERACTIVE. We believe that our growth in the
career solutions area will continue to come from our Interactive properties,
through our leadership position at Monster.com(sm), combined with additional
online growth opportunities from the recruitment advertising and executive
58
<PAGE>
search and selection markets and by capturing increasing shares of budgets
previously spent by corporations on unassisted recruiting activities.
MONSTER.COM(sm) Monster.com(sm) (http://www.monster.com), the flagship of
our Interactive properties, is the nucleus of our "Intern to CEO" strategy. For
the three months ended March 31, 2000, Monster.com(sm)'s gross billings and
commissions and fees were $58.9 million and $58.1 million, respectively, and our
total Interactive gross billings and commissions and fees were $80.5 million and
$70.8 million, respectively.
Based on experience with our clients, we believe that only 20% to 30% of
open job positions are advertised using traditional print media. We also believe
that online solutions will significantly expand the recruitment advertising
market because of their global reach and continuous availability. Furthermore,
online advertising is extremely cost effective when compared to other
traditional recruitment methods such as print media. Our Interactive recruitment
services have been actively marketed since May 1995 and Monster.com(sm) was one
of the first 1,000 commercial web sites out of more than 158 million which
currently exist.
According to Nielson I/PRO, Monster.com(sm) had approximately 15.2 million
visits (the gross number of occasions on which a user looked up a site) in
May 2000 with the average length of each visit exceeding sixteen minutes. Media
Metrix reported that for May 2000, 5.2% of the U.S. Internet population visited
Monster.com(sm). In addition, for this month, an average of 38.1 unique pages
were viewed by each visitor, resulting in a power ranking of 198.1 (reach of 5.2
multiplied by average page views of 38.1) compared to 23.6 for its nearest
competitor and 109.3 for its seven closest competitors combined. We believe that
the power ranking is significant because, by taking into account reach and page
views, it indicates Monster.com(sm)'s usefulness and recognition.
Monster.com(sm) allows users to create their own personalized career page,
My Monster. Using My Monster, job seekers can store their resumes, cover letters
and job applications and create multiple Job Search Agents. They can also track
how many times their resume has been viewed by employers. My Monster is at the
center of the Monster.com(sm) job seeker experience, with over 8.1 million job
seeker accounts as of May 2000. Monster.com(sm)'s Job Search Agent continuously
seeks to find the desired job for the job seeker. Job seekers can sign up for
this free service on the site by creating a simple personal profile indicating
the industry and location in which they want to work and any job-specific
keywords. The Job Search Agent then continually scans the entire Monster.com(sm)
job database for opportunities that match the requirements and delivers the
leads to job seekers' desktops, even while they are off-line. As of May 2000,
Monster.com(sm) contained over 3.2 million Job Search Agent profiles and its
resume database contained over 4.2 million resumes of which 2.9 million are
active, and is growing by an average of more than 13,000 resumes daily. Job
seekers post their resumes free of charge in a confidential searchable
access-restricted database. This database can be searched, using keyword
searches, by employers who pay for the service. Job seekers can search
Monster.com(sm)'s database of employment opportunities by location, job
category, industry and/or keyword. Keyword searches allow a user to enter
specific keywords to match skills, job titles or other requirements. We have
also introduced Monster Talent Market which allows independent contractor
professionals to offer their services to the highest bidder.
As of May 2000, Monster.com(sm) listed approximately 395,000 paid postings
from clients such as Adecco, Blockbuster Entertainment Inc., Dell Computer
Corporation, McDonald's and Procter & Gamble Co.
We also have developed private label applications of our Interactive
products. For example, we adapted Monster.com(sm) technology to create for
Fidelity Investments a database of jobs which resides, through a hyper-link, on
the Fidelity home page. The search features have the look, feel and ease of use
associated with Monster.com(sm) while appearing to the user as a seamless part
of the Fidelity site. We intend to continue to market private label products as
a way to increase the size of our databases.
59
<PAGE>
To attract the maximum amount of traffic to our websites, we intend to
continue to develop additional value-added content, while developing strategic
alliances with other on-line content providers. For example, we recently entered
into a content and marketing arrangement with America Online, Inc., pursuant to
which Monster.com(sm) for the payment of $100 million would be the exclusive
provider of career search services in the United States and Canada for four
years to over 21 million AOL members across seven AOL properties: AOL, AOL
Canada, Compuserve, ICQ, AOL.com, Netscape and Digital City. We believe that
this agreement has the potential to drive a substantial amount of increased
traffic and new users to Monster.com(sm.) See "Risk Factors--Potential impact of
third-party litigation on our agreement with AOL."
In addition to the U.S., Monster.com(sm) has been customized, in language
and content, for Canada, the U.K., the Netherlands, Australia, Belgium, France,
Singapore, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Germany and Ireland.
MONSTERMOVING.COM. Through recent acquisitions, we have begun to capitalize
on the relationship between recruitment and relocation. By featuring information
that addresses the entire moving process, such as mortgages, insurance,
utilities and education, we offer our clients the ability to research a
prospective move online. We are combining these tools into a Moving Center which
will be integrated into Monster.com-SM-, thus extending the Monster.com-SM-
brand into the moving services marketplace.
RECRUITMENT ADVERTISING. We entered the recruitment advertising business in
1993 and have expanded this business through acquisitions and internal growth.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, we had recruitment advertising gross
billings of $219.6 million and recruitment advertising commissions and fees of
$46.5 million. In addition to our worldwide offices, we maintain relationships
with unaffiliated agencies throughout the world to further enhance our ability
to reach qualified job candidates. As a full service agency, we offer our
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. We specialize in designing recruitment
advertising campaigns for clients in high growth industries and in industries
with high employee turnover rates. Further, we believe 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.
Our 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, we will often undertake basic research with respect to demographic
profiles of selected geographic areas to assist the client in developing an
appropriate overall strategy.
We have 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, we
develop an appropriate media plan. Typically, a variety of media is used,
including newspapers, trade journals, the Internet, outdoor/transit media,
direct mail, radio and television. If we recommend use of newspapers, we may
recommend certain newspapers or editions of a particular newspaper which are
targeted to a specific demographic segment of the population. We may also
recommend a variety of advertisement sizes and vary the frequency with which an
advertisement appears.
60
<PAGE>
After an advertisement is placed, we conduct extensive customer analysis to
assure satisfaction, including monitoring the effectiveness of the chosen media.
As an example, for a transportation client, we 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. Our Recruitment Advertising Division also
maintains a quality assurance program for its larger clients which involves
formal creative reviews by our clients as well as soliciting client feedback.
In the U.S., we receive commissions generally equal to 15% of recruitment
advertising gross billings. Outside of the U.S., where, collectively, we derive
the majority of our recruitment advertising commissions and fees, our commission
rates for recruitment advertising vary, ranging from approximately 10% in
Australia to 15% in Canada and the United Kingdom. We also earn 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 4% of recruitment advertising gross billings for the three
months ended March 31, 2000. In addition, interactive commissions and fees
earned by this division were $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31,
2000.
EXECUTIVE SEARCH. Traditionally, recruitment and online advertising does
not target the senior executive. Therefore, in order to expand the range of
services we offer to our recruitment advertising clients, we entered the
executive search field. We currently have 55 executive search offices in 25
countries. We believe that our expansion into the executive search field will
enable us to attract and service new major clients because we can now market
ourselves as a full service firm that can accommodate all of our clients'
employment and recruitment advertising needs. For the three months ended
March 31, 2000, Executive Search gross billings and commissions and fees were
$39.0 million and $39.0 million, respectively.
Our retained executive search process typically targets senior level
executives (those earning over $250,000, annually) and includes the following
steps:
- a TMP Executive Search consultant interviews the client in order to
analyze the senior executive position that needs to be filled, the general
environment of the client's work place and the character and quality of
candidates that have successfully performed as an executive of the client;
- our consultant then prepares a written synopsis of the position to be
filled in order to attract a suitable, qualified, successful candidate;
- the synopsis is then forwarded to other recruiters in order to assist with
the search for a candidate that fits the criteria set forth in the
synopsis;
- a pool of suitable candidates is gathered and the consultants begin to
schedule interviews;
- the candidates are then interviewed and analyzed by the consultants on our
premises to determine if the candidate meets the requisite experience and
potential cultural fit outlined by the consultant and the client;
- reports of the most suitable candidates are prepared by the consultant and
presented to the client, who then chooses the candidates to be met;
- the consultant then organizes a mutually convenient time and place for the
client to personally meet and interview such candidates;
- the consultant will follow up with the successful candidate to obtain any
supplemental information needed or requested by the client, including
references and other documentary materials; and
- the consultant then assists the client in structuring and negotiating the
final compensation package and other benefits for the hired executive
based on all relevant factors researched by the consultant, including
industry comparisons, the experience levels of the executive and future
trends.

<PAGE>
SELECTION AND TEMPORARY CONTRACTING. Candidates for mid-level positions,
the search for whom we term "selection," are normally attracted by classified
advertising or chosen through a computerized database file search, as opposed to
the detailed search process used for senior executives. We screen and interview
applicants prior to providing the client with a short list. Upon acceptance of
the short list of suitable candidates, the client then proceeds to interview the
selected candidates. The next steps in the process include reference checking,
negotiation of an offer, confirmation of acceptances and start date, and
performance follow-up at the end of one and three months.
For assignments involving mid-level executives we have developed and are
introducing a process which is designed to evaluate a person's capacity to
perform in a current or future role. It can be used for internal and external
candidates and is based on the premise that if the requirements for an
individual job are thoroughly understood, it is possible to develop testing
protocols which assess and predict a candidate's ability to succeed in a
specific position. Tools and exercises include aptitude testing, job
simulations, behavioral and situational interviews, leadership and team
exercises, group discussions, role plays and work sample tests. The goals of the
Selection process are to put the right people in the right job, boosting both
individual job satisfaction and productivity.
We provide temporary contract employees in Australia, New Zealand, the
United Kingdom and the United States. These employees range from executives to
clerical workers. The demand for contract employee services was created by
organizations' need for flexible work forces with the types of skills required
to meet their particular circumstances in a changing market.
We place qualified executives, professionals, clerical and trade labor in
temporary positions, or for specific short term projects. Contractors can be
used for emergency support or to complement the skills of a client's core,
permanent staff. Contracting can be linked to the permanent placement, with the
client employing a "try before you buy" strategy. The period for the contracting
assignment can vary from as little as one day to over 12 months.
In addition to the more general contracting assignments, we provide
executives on a contract basis with our Australian clients, whereby a specific
task is managed by us but staffed by contract executives.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, gross billings were
$79.3 million, commissions and fees were $77.8 million and the related revenue,
before deducting the costs of temporary contractors, was $172.7 million. In
addition, Interactive commissions and fees were $2.5 million.
OUR YELLOW PAGES BUSINESS
We entered the yellow page advertising business in 1967 and have grown to
become the largest yellow page advertising agency in the world based on gross
billings. For the three months ended March 31, 2000 we had yellow page
advertising gross billings and commissions and fees of $133.2 million and
$23.3 million, respectively. This division also generated $2.4 million of
interactive commissions and fees. In addition, during 1999, this division
acquired IN2 in a pooling of interests transaction. IN2 is a state of the art,
online marketing agency and technology company based in New York City. As our
clients, including our yellow page clients, migrate portions of their business
to the Web, IN2 will provide them with complete interactive marketing solutions
and it will continue to expand its own interactive client base and develop
technology solutions. This acquisition also marked the establishment of two new
business units within our Yellow Pages Advertising Division--Interactive Direct
Marketing and Interactive Technologies.
CREATING AND PLACING DIRECTORY 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
62
<PAGE>
potential customer's attention. To assess the effectiveness of a proposed
campaign, we generally undertake 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, we can then determine
which advertisements generate the most effective response.
After designing an advertising program, we create a media plan which targets
client's customer base in a cost-effective manner. We analyze targeted
directories to determine circulation, rate of usage and demographic profile. We
then recommend advertisements ranging from a full page to as little as a one
line listing. For some of our larger yellow page advertising clients,
advertisements are placed in over 2,000 directories.
To ensure client satisfaction, we maintain an extensive quality control
program. Account teams have frequent in-person client contact as well as formal
annual creative reviews. We also solicit 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. We believe our focus on customer service has
enabled us to maintain our client retention rate, year to year, in excess of
90%.
In addition to traditional advertising, we offer to our clients a variety of
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
us into client processes for the mutual benefit of both parties.
CLIENTS. Our yellow page clients generally 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 our 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, in 1999,
we visited or had contact with over half a million individual store locations.
We have a yellow page sales, marketing and customer service staff of
approximately 850 people to implement this local effort. We believe the size and
breadth of this staff, its local client relationships and its databases of
client branch locations, franchisors and dealers provide us with a strong
competitive advantage in executing the yellow page programs of existing clients.
We believe these resources are critical in marketing our services to potential
new clients and in marketing and executing our Interactive-based service
offerings.
SALES AND MARKETING
At December 31, 1999, we had more than 5,100 employees focused on our sales,
marketing and customer service efforts worldwide. Our sales, marketing and
customer service staff is divided into two groups: (i) new business generation
(approximately 400 employees) and (ii) existing client relationship maintenance
and improvement (approximately 4,700 employees). Within each group, we maintain
separate sales and marketing staffs for our Interactive business, Recruitment
Advertising business and Yellow Page business. In addition to specializing by
product, each group is accountable for, and incentivized to, cross sell our
other products. Our Interactive sales staff has targeted our recruitment
advertising and yellow page clients to capitalize on the additional services
that our Interactive products can cost effectively provide to such clients. In
addition to pursuing cross-selling opportunities within our existing client
base, each product sales force also designs targeted selling campaigns for
potential new clients. We assign a
63
<PAGE>
marketing manager to our clients in order to work closely with the client to
develop and design the appropriate marketing and advertising campaign. Our
customer service representative works 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.
At December 31, 1999, we had 95 sales, marketing and customer service
offices located in the United States and 137 offices in the rest of the world.
We also maintained relationships with 7 international recruitment advertising
agencies throughout the world, further enhancing our ability to reach qualified
job candidates.
PROPERTIES
Substantially all of our offices are located in leased premises.
Our principal office is located at 1633 Broadway, New York, New York, where
we occupy approximately 44,000 square feet of space under a lease expiring in
June 2004. Monthly payments under the lease currently are approximately $108,000
and escalate during the term of the lease. The Company plans to move its
principal office to 622 Third Avenue, New York, NY, where, along with its New
York Executive Search and Selection operations, it will occupy 104,000 square
feet under a 15 year 8 month lease beginning in July 2000 and expiring in 2015.
Monthly payments under the new lease will be $416,000 and will escalate during
the term of the lease.
We also have leases covering local offices throughout the United States and
in the foreign countries where we have operations.
All leased space is considered to be adequate for the operation of our
business, and no difficulties are foreseen in meeting any future space
requirements.
CLIENTS
At December 31, 1999, we had more than 31,000 clients, including more than
90 of the Fortune 100 companies and more than 480 of the Fortune 500 companies.
Our clients include: The Allstate Corporation, AT&T Corp., CVS Corporation, Ford
Motor Company, GTE Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Company, The Home Depot, Inc.,
MCI Worldcom, Inc., Merck & Co., Inc., Mobil Corporation, Morgan Stanley Dean
Witter, Motorola, Inc., Sears, Roebuck and Co., Sprint Corporation, and United
Parcel Service, Inc. No one client accounts for more than 5% of our total annual
commissions and fees.
COMPETITION
The markets for our services and products are highly competitive and are
characterized by pressure to reduce prices, incorporate new capabilities and
technologies, and accelerate job completion schedules.
We face 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 boutique businesses that provide integrated or specialized
services (such as advertising services or website design) and are
technologically proficient, especially in the new media arena, are also
competing with us. Many of our competitors or potential competitors have long
operating histories, and some have greater financial, management, technological,
development, sales, marketing and other resources than do we. In addition, our
ability to maintain our existing clients and generate new clients depends to a
significant degree on the quality of our services, pricing and our reputation
among our clients and potential clients.
64
<PAGE>
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Our success and ability to compete is dependent in part on the protection of
our original content for the Internet and on the goodwill associated with our
trademarks, trade names, service marks and other proprietary rights. We rely on
copyright laws to protect the original content that we develop for the Internet.
In addition, we rely on Federal trademark laws to provide additional protection
for the appearance of our 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 our
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 us.
We also assert common law protection on certain names and marks that we have
used in connection with our business activities.
We rely on trade secret and copyright laws to protect the proprietary
technologies that we have developed to manage and improve our Internet sites and
advertising services, but there can be no assurance that such laws will provide
sufficient protection to us, that others will not develop technologies that are
similar or superior to ours, or that third parties will not copy or otherwise
obtain and use our technologies without authorization. We have filed patent
applications with respect to certain of our 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 us with a
competitive advantage. In addition, we rely on certain technology licensed from
third parties, and may be required to license additional technology in the
future, for use in managing our Internet sites and providing related services to
users and advertising customers. Our ability to generate fees from Internet
commerce may also depend on data encryption and authentication technologies that
we 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 us 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 our business, financial condition and operating results.
Policing unauthorized use of our 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 us little or no
effective protection of our intellectual property. In addition, there can be no
assurance that third parties will not bring claims of copyright or trademark
infringement against us or claim that our use of certain technologies violates a
patent. We anticipate 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 we have misappropriated their
creative ideas or formats or otherwise infringed upon their proprietary rights
in connection with our Internet content. Any claims of infringement, with or
without merit, could be time consuming to defend, result in costly litigation,
divert management attention, require us to enter into costly royalty or
licensing arrangements or prevent us from using important technologies or
methods, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition or operating results.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
As an advertising agency which creates and places print and Internet
advertisements, we are 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
65
<PAGE>
upon advertisers and advertising agencies which disseminate prohibited
advertisements. Advertising agencies 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 us was found to be false,
deceptive or misleading, the FTC Act could potentially subject us 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 us.
There can be no assurance that other current or new government laws and
regulations, or the application of existing laws and regulations, will not
subject us to significant liabilities, significantly dampen growth in Internet
usage, prevent us from offering certain Internet content or services or
otherwise cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
or operating results.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 1999, we employed approximately 6,400 people, of whom
approximately 3,300 were client services personnel, approximately 400 were sales
and marketing personnel, approximately 1,100 were Executive Search and Selection
and Temporary Contracting personnel and approximately 300 were creative and
graphics personnel. The remainder of our personnel are information systems,
financial and administrative personnel. Our employees are not represented by a
labor union or a collective bargaining agreement. We regard our employee
relations as generally excellent.
COMPANY HISTORY
We are the successor to the businesses formerly conducted by TMP
Worldwide Inc. and subsidiaries ("Old TMP"), Worldwide Classified Inc. and

executive officer of which was Andrew J. McKelvey. On December 9, 1996, Old TMP
merged into McKelvey Enterprises, Inc. Thereafter, WCI merged into McKelvey
Enterprises, Inc. and McKelvey Enterprises, Inc. then merged into Telephone
Marketing Programs Incorporated. Such mergers are collectively referred to as
the "1996 Mergers." In addition, Mr. McKelvey sold or contributed his interest
in five other entities to the Company. Pursuant to the 1996 Mergers, Telephone
Marketing Programs Incorporated changed its name to TMP Worldwide Inc.
Effective February 29, 2000 a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a stock
dividend was paid. All share and per share amounts included herein have been
retroactively restated to give effect to the stock split.

Messrs. Kaufman and Swann, its non-employee directors, was granted an option to
purchase 22,500 shares of Common Stock at a
68
<PAGE>
purchase price per share equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on
the date of such director's election to the Board of Directors ($11.81 in the
case of Mr. Kaufman and $7.00 in the case of Mr. Swann). The options have a

Committee. The options may be exercised by payment in cash, check or shares of
Common Stock.

grant. Options granted to non-employee directors upon their commencement of
service will be 50% vested on the date of grant and will generally become fully
vested on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Options granted to

each of the first two anniversaries of the date of grant. The Company will no

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company has entered into an amended employment agreement with Andrew J.
McKelvey, effective as of November 15, 1996, for a term ending on November 14,
2001. The agreement provides for automatic renewal for successive one year terms
unless either party notifies the other to the contrary at least 90 days prior to
the expiration of the then current term. The agreement also provides that
Mr. McKelvey will serve as Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Company and will
be nominated for election as a director during all periods of his employment.
Under the agreement, Mr. McKelvey is entitled to a base salary of $1,500,000 per
year and until November 1998, when his agreement was amended, was entitled to
mandatory quarterly bonuses of $375,000. Mr. McKelvey waived such bonuses.
Mr. McKelvey was paid $833,364 in 1999. On May 1, 1999, the Company and
Mr. McKelvey further amended the employment agreement to provide for an annual
base salary of $500,000 and an annual bonus, based on exceeding earnings per
share targets, not to exceed $500,000. Under the agreement, Mr. McKelvey may
terminate his employment upon 90 days' prior written notice for any reason. The
agreement also provides that in the event Mr. McKelvey's employment is
terminated by the Company prior to its expiration for reasons other than for
"cause," the Company shall pay Mr. McKelvey his base salary for the remaining
term of the agreement at the times it would have been payable had he remained
employed. The agreement further provides that in the event of Mr. McKelvey's
voluntary resignation, termination of his employment by the Company for cause or
nonrenewal of the agreement, Mr. McKelvey 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 for a period of 180 days after any such termination at the
times it would have been payable had he remained employed. The agreement also
contains confidentiality provisions, whereby Mr. McKelvey agrees not to disclose
any confidential information regarding the Company and its affiliates.
The Company has entered into a second amended employment agreement with
James J. Treacy, effective as of October 1, 1999, for an indefinite term on an
at-will basis. The agreement provides that either party may terminate the
agreement for any reason. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Treacy will serve as
Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President, Finance and Strategy of
the Company for a base salary in 1999 of $475,000 and an annual bonus equivalent
to a percentage, ranging from 25% to 50%, of his salary if certain goals
mutually agreed upon by Mr. Treacy and the Chief Executive Officer are attained
by Mr. Treacy and/or the Company. The agreement provides that in the event
Mr. Treacy is terminated for "cause" or voluntarily resigns, he shall 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 provides
that in the event Mr. Treacy's employment is terminated by death all of his
options shall become fully vested and exercisable for the shorter of one year or
the balance of the term provided in the stock option agreement. 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 a second
amended and restated employment agreement with Jeffrey C. Taylor, effective as
of August 28, 1998, for a term ending December 31, 2001. 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 currently provides Mr. Taylor with a base salary of
$400,000 per year and annual bonuses of at least $100,000 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 90 days' prior written
notice for any reason. The agreement provides that in the event
72
<PAGE>
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 his annual bonus
from the preceding year or, if not yet issued a minimum of $100,000 and all of
Mr. Taylor's options to purchase TMP stock shall become fully vested and
Mr. Taylor and his immediate family shall be provided with specified insurance
for a period of one year. 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 non-renewal 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 non-competition provisions. The
non-competition 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, one-half
of his $75,000 minimum annual bonus, medical benefits and an additional payment
of $19,792 per month for the duration of the non-competition obligation.
Mr. Taylor's agreement also prohibits him from soliciting or servicing customers
or prospective customers of TMP Interactive Inc. and its affiliates for a period
of two years following the termination or expiration of his employment.
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. Kramer and Kaufman
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. In February 2000 and in October 1997, respectively,
Mr. Kramer and Mr. Kaufman received stock options to purchase 22,500 shares and
22,500 shares of Common Stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $63.07 per
share and $11.81 per share, respectively, equal to the fair market value on the
date of grant.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Messrs. McKelvey, Eisele, Camara and Collison have approximately 69.4%, 10%,
5% and 5% interests, respectively, in International Drive, L.P., the lessor of
the Company's 48,000 square foot office in Mt. Olive, New Jersey. This lease
runs through December 2004 and the Company's rent for this space is $46,200 per
month. Mr. McKelvey has a 49% interest in TPH & AJM, a partnership, the lessor
of the office occupied by Telephone Directory Advertising, Inc., an entity in
which the Company has a 48.92% interest. This lease runs through June 2000 and
Telephone Directory Advertising, Inc.'s rent for this space is currently $9,286
per month.
On January 1, 1996, TMP Worldwide Communications Inc., the Company's
Canadian recruitment advertising subsidiary, entered into a management agreement
with TMPW Canada Inc., a recruitment advertising company owned by Mr. Swann,
pursuant to which TMP Worldwide Communications Inc. provides management services
in exchange for a percentage of the billings of TMPW Canada Inc. which is agreed
to from time to time. The agreement has no stated term but is terminable by
either party on 30 days' notice. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997, TMPW Canada Inc. paid approximately $396,000, $537,000, and $294,000,
respectively to TMP Worldwide Communications Inc. for management services.
Beginning in June 1999, the Company periodically used the service of an
aircraft from a company owned by Mr. McKelvey, and in connection therewith,
$215,000 was paid through December 31, 1999.
The Company believes that all transactions with the aforementioned directors
and executive officers were made on terms no less favorable to the Company than
would have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties and were approved or
ratified by the entire Board, including disinterested directors.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides the Company with
the authority to issue 1,500,000,000 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. No shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding.
The 10.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock was redeemed and no shares 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 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 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
81
<PAGE>
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.
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,
dividends 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.
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 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 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
82
<PAGE>
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.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders named herein (or pledgees, donees, transferees or
other successors-in-interest selling shares received from a named selling
stockholder as a gift, partnership, distribution or other non-sale-related
transfer after the date of this prospectus) may offer their shares at various
times in one or more transactions on the Nasdaq National Market, in special
offerings, exchange distributions, secondary distributions, negotiated
transactions, or a combination of such. They may sell at market prices at the
time of sale, at prices related to the market price or at negotiated prices. The
selling stockholders may use broker-dealers to sell their shares. If this
happens, broker-dealers will either receive discounts or commissions from the
selling stockholders, or they will receive commissions from purchasers of shares
for whom they acted as agents. Compensation as to a particular broker-dealer
might be in excess of customary commissions and will be in amounts to be
negotiated in connection with the sale. Broker-dealers or agents and the selling
stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of
Section 2(11) of the Securities Act in connection with sales of the shares.
Accordingly, any such commission, discount or concession received by them and
any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be
underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Because selling
stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of
Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the selling stockholders will be subject to
the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any
securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than
pursuant to this prospectus.
LEGAL OPINION
For the purpose of this offering, our outside counsel, Fulbright & Jaworski
L.L.P., New York, New York 10103, is giving its opinion on the validity of the
shares.

NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been retroactively
restated as of March 31, 2000 and 1999 and for the three months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999 to reflect the Second Quarter 2000 Mergers. As a result, the
financial position, and statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss)
and cash flows are presented as if the combining companies had been consolidated
for all periods presented. In addition, the consolidated statements of
stockholders' equity reflect the accounts of TMP as if the additional common
stock issued in connection with with these mergers had been issued for all
periods when each of the related companies had issued their shares and for the
amounts that reflect the exchange ratios of the mergers. In accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, the supplemental consolidated
financial statements will become the historical financial statements of the
Company upon issuance of the financial statements for the period that includes
the consummation of the Second Quarter 2000 Mergers.
The results of Illsley Bourbonnais for the month ended January 31, 2000 are
included in both the supplemental consolidated statement of income (loss) for
the year ended December 31, 1999 and in the supplemental consolidated condensed
statement of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Therefore
the following amounts have been included in both periods: (a) commissions and
fees of $1,019 and (b) net income of $285, with no impact on earnings per share.
Additionally, due to immateriality, the results of Business Technologies Ltd.
("BTL") for the period August 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999 have not been
included in the supplemental consolidated statement of income (loss) for the
year ended December 31, 1999 because the results of BTL for its fiscal year
ended July 31, 1999 were included in the supplemental consolidated condensed
statement of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 1999, including
commissions and fees of $314 and net income $50. BTL's results for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 were included in the supplemental consolidated
condensed statement of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
In addition, the results of HW Group Ltd., for the three months ended March 31,
1999 are included in the supplemental consolidated statements of income (loss)
in both years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the effects on both periods
on (a) commissions and fees was $11,075, (b) net income was $1,893 and (c)
diluted earnings per share was $0.02.
In addition, for the period April 1, 1999 through March 31, 2000 the Company
completed 22 acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting. Given the
significant number of acquisitions affecting the periods presented, the results
of operations from period to period may not necessarily be comparable.
Furthermore, results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of annual results.

On January 27, 2000, in connection with its third public offering, the
Company issued an aggregate of, on a post-split basis, 8,000,000 shares of
common stock at a purchase price of $77 5/16 per share. The offering was
completed in February 2000. The net proceeds from this offering were $594.2
million, and approximately $82 million was used to pay down debt on the
Company's credit line. The remainder is being invested in short and medium term
interest bearing instruments until used for acquisitions, strategic equity
investments and general corporate purposes.
Basic earnings per share assumes no dilution, and is computed by dividing
income available to common and Class B common stockholders by the weighted
average number of common and Class B common shares outstanding during each
period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a
dilutive effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock
options and warrants, and contingent shares, based on the treasury stock method
of computing such effects.
A reconciliation of shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings
per common and Class B common share follows:

NOTE 3--BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONTINUED)
are those associated with the elimination of redundant facilities and personnel,
integration of the operations of the pooled entities and acceleration of
benefits and separation pay in accordance with pre-existing contractual change
in control provisions.
In connection with pooling of interests transactions completed prior to
March 31, 2000, the Company expensed merger and integration costs of $8,674. Of
this amount $3,607 is for merger costs and $5,067 is for integration costs. The
merger costs for the period ended March 31, 2000 consist of (a) $2,323 of non-
cash employee stay bonuses and (b) $1,284 of transaction related costs,
including legal, accounting, printing and advisory fees and the costs incurred
for the subsequent registration of shares issued in the acquisitions. The $5,067
of integration costs consist of: (a) $2,544 for assumed obligations of closed
facilities, (b) $2,871 for consolidation of acquired facilities and (c) $121 for
severance, relocation and other employee costs, partially offset by a $469
recovery of a reserve for receivables. See schedule of Accrued Integration and
Restructuring Costs in the section below.
During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company expensed merger
and integration costs of $4,687 which were related to the pooling of interests
transactions with Johnson, Smith & Knisely Inc., The Consulting Group
(International) Limited, and Morgan & Banks Limited, and are comprised of
transactions costs and the amortization of employee stay bonuses.
ACQUISITIONS ACCOUNTED FOR USING THE PURCHASE METHOD
In addition to the pooling of interests transactions discussed above, in the
three month period ended March 31, 2000, the Company completed four acquisitions
using the purchase method of accounting, two Selection & Temporary Contracting
firms and two Recruitment Advertising firms. The total amount of cash paid for
these acquisitions was approximately $14.4 million. In addition, the Company
issued 247,098 shares of common stock in connection with certain of the above
mentioned acquisitions. 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 three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and the year ended
December 31, 1999 assume the acquisitions in 2000 and 1999 occurred as of the

The unaudited pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative

the beginning of each of the periods presented, nor are the results of
operations necessarily indicative of the results that will be attained in the
future.
ACCRUED INTEGRATION AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS
In connection with its acquisitions, the Company formulated plans to
integrate the operations of the acquired companies. Such plans involve the
closure of certain offices of such companies and the elimination of redundant
management and employees. The objectives of the plans are to take advantage of
the Company's existing operating infrastructure and efficiencies or to develop
efficiencies from the infrastructure of the acquired companies, and to create a
single brand in the related markets in which the Company operates.
In connection with such plans, in the three months ended March 31, 2000, the
Company (i) expensed, as part of merger and integration expenses, $5,067, for
companies acquired in transactions accounted for as poolings of interests and
(ii) increased goodwill by $1,078 for companies acquired in transactions
accounted for under the purchase method. In addition, in 1999 LAI formulated
plans to close its London, England and Hong Kong offices. In connection with
these office closings, LAI charged earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 1999
for $2,789 and established restructuring reserves.
These costs and liabilities include:

(b) Other costs associated with the closure or consolidation of existing offices

severance for terminated employees at closed locations, costs associated
with employees transferred to continuing offices and other related costs.
Employee groups affected include sales, service, administrative and
management personnel at duplicate locations as well as redundant management
and administrative personnel at corporate headquarters. As of March 31,
2000, the accrual related to approximately 50 employees, senior management,
sales, service and administrative personnel. During the quarter ended March
31, 2000, payments of $462 were made for severance and charged against the
reserve.
(e) Pension obligations in the amount of $1,658 were assumed in connection with
the acquisition of Austin Knight.
The Company continues to evaluate and assess the impact of duplicate
responsibilities and office locations. Pursuant to the conclusions reached by
the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the FASB in EITF Issues No. 94-3,
"Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs
to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)," and
No. 95-3, "Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business
Combination," in connection with the finalization of preliminary plans relating
to purchased entities, additions to restructuring reserves within one year of
the date of acquisition are treated as additional purchase price but costs
incurred resulting from plan revisions made after the first year will be charged
to operations in the period in which they occur.

1998, and the related supplemental consolidated statements of income (loss),
comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. The supplemental
consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the mergers of the
Company with HW Group PLC on February 16, 2000; Microsurf, Inc. on February 16,
2000; Burlington Wells, Inc. on February 29, 2000; Illsley Bourbonnais on March

2000; and Web Technology Partners, Inc. on May 31, 2000, which have been
accounted for as poolings of interests as described in Notes 1 and 5 to the
supplemental consolidated financial statements. 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 did not audit
the financial statements of Morgan & Banks Limited as of December 31, 1998 and
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1998 which were combined
with the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 1998 and for each of
the two years in the period ended December 31, 1998, which financial statements
reflect total assets of approximately $52.3 million as of December 31, 1998 and
total commissions & fees of approximately $255.4 million and $235.8 million for
the years ended December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1998, respectively. Those
financial statements were audited by another auditor whose report has been
furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included
for Morgan & Banks Limited, is based solely on the report of the other auditor.
We did not audit the financial statements of LAI Worldwide, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of February 28, 1999 and for each of the two years in the period
ended February 28, 1999 which were combined with the Company's financial
statements as of December 31, 1998 and for each of the two years in the period

approximately $103.8 million as of February 28, 1999 and total commissions &
fees of approximately $61.8 million and $86.8 million for each of the two years
in the period ended February 28, 1999, respectively. Those financial statements
were audited by another auditor whose report has been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for LAI Worldwide, Inc.
and subsidiaries, is based solely on the report of the other auditor. We did not
audit the consolidated financial statements of System One Services, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1999 which were combined with the Company's
financial statements as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1999, which financial statements reflect
total assets of approximately $56.6 million and $46.6 million as of December 31,
1999 and 1998 and total commissions and fees of $15.5 million, $23.2 million and
$33.6 million for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999.
Those financial statements were audited by another auditor whose report has been
furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included
for System One Services, Inc. and subsidiaries is based solely on the report of
the other auditor.
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 and the reports of the other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

the supplemental consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TMP Worldwide Inc.

Our audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing
Standards, which are substantially the same as generally accepted auditing
standards in the United States of America, to provide reasonable assurance as to
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Our
procedures included examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting the
amounts and other disclosures in the financial statements, and the evaluation of
accounting policies and significant accounting estimates. These procedures have
been undertaken to form an opinion as to whether, in all material respects, the
financial statements are presented fairly in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements and
statutory requirements so as to present a view which is consistent with our
understanding of the company's and the economic entity's financial position and
the results of its operations and its cash flows.
The audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above
basis.
AUDIT OPINION
In our opinion, the financial statements of Morgan & Banks Limited are
properly drawn up:
(a) so as to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs as at 31
December 1998, the profit for the financial years ended on 31 December
1998 and 31 March 1998 and the cash flows for the nine month period ended
31 December 1998, and the year ended 31 March 1998, of the company and
the economic entity;

TMP WORLDWIDE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
TMP Worldwide Inc. ("TMP" or 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 had voting proxy on the remaining outstanding shares of
WCI.
WCI was organized in 1993 to sell Recruitment Advertising. On December 9,
1996, Old TMP, which sells Yellow Page Advertising, merged into MEI. Thereafter,
WCI merged into MEI, MEI then merged into Telephone Marketing Programs
Incorporated and MEI acquired the outstanding minority interest of a subsidiary
(the "1996 Mergers"). Concurrent with the 1996 Mergers, Telephone Marketing
Programs Incorporated changed its name to TMP Worldwide Inc.
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, the interests previously owned by the Principal
Stockholder are carried at predecessor basis, and in December 1996 (i) goodwill
in the amount of approximately $1.6 million was recorded for the issuance of
542,556 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 initial public offering price of $7.00 per share, less approximately
$2.2 million previously recorded on the issuance of these shares, and (ii)
special compensation in the amount of approximately $52.0 million was recorded
for the issuance of 7,169,580 shares of common stock of the Company to 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 initial public
offering price of $7.00 per share. The minority stockholders of Old TMP had
received compensation in lieu of their share of earnings of 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.
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 acquisition by the Principal
Stockholder.
For the period April 1, 1998 through December 31, 1999, the Company
completed 20 mergers which were accounted for as poolings of interests. The
seven that the Company completed prior to April 1, 1999 are Johnson, Smith &
Knisely Inc. ("JSK"), TASA Holding AG ("TASA"), Stackig, Inc. ("Stackig"),
Recruitment Solutions Inc., Sunquest L.L.C. d.b.a. The SMART Group and The
Consulting Group (International) Limited ("TCG"), in 1998 (the "1998 Mergers");
and Morgan & Banks Limited ("M&B")

TMP WORLDWIDE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
in January 1999: (the "M&B Merger"). In connection with these mergers, the
Company issued 17,578,910 shares of our common stock in exchange for all of the
outstanding common stock of these seven companies. From April 1, 1999 to June
30, 1999, the Company completed pooling of interests mergers (the "Second
Quarter 1999 Mergers") with six companies Interquest, Pty. Limited
("Interquest"), LIDA Advertising Inc. ("LIDA"), Maes & Lunau ("M&L"), IN2, Inc.
("IN2"), Lemming & LeVan, Inc. ("L&L"), and Yellow Pages Unlimited, Inc.
("YPU"), (the "Second Quarter 1999 Pooled Companies") (the "Second Quarter 1999
Mergers"). In connection with the Second Quarter 1999 Mergers the Company issued
a total of 1,800,480 shares of TMP common stock in exchange for all of the
outstanding stock of the Second Quarter 1999 Pooled Companies. In addition, from
July 1, 1999 through September 30, 1999, the Company completed pooling of
interests mergers (the "Third Quarter 1999 Mergers") with five companies,
Cameron-Newell Advertising, Inc. ("CNA"), Brook Street Bureau (QLD) Pty Ltd,
("Brook St."), LAI Worldwide, Inc. ("LAI"), Fox Advertising Inc. ("Fox") and
Lampen Group Limited ("Lampen") ("the Third Quarter 1999 Pooled Companies"). In
connection with the Third Quarter 1999 Mergers the Company issued a total of
4,306,914 shares of TMP common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding
stock of the Third Quarter 1999 Pooled Companies. From October 1, 1999 through
December 31, 1999, the Company completed mergers with two companies, Highland
Search Group L.L.C. ("Highland") and TMC S.r.l. ("Amrop Italy") (the "Fourth
Quarter 1999 Pooled Companies"), which provided for the exchange of all of the
outstanding stock of such companies for a total of 1,517,226 shares of TMP
common stock and which were accounted for as poolings of interests (the "Fourth
Quarter 1999 Mergers").
The consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the effect of
the 1996 Mergers, the 1998 Mergers, the M & B Merger, the Second Quarter 1999
Mergers, the Third Quarter 1999 Mergers and the Fourth Quarter 1999 Mergers,
because such mergers have been accounted for as poolings of interests (see Note
5). As a result, the financial position, statements of income (loss),
comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows included herein are presented as if
the combining companies had been consolidated for all periods presented. The
consolidated statements of stockholders' equity reflect the accounts of TMP as
if the additional common stock issued in connection with the 1998 and 1999
Mergers had been issued for all periods presented.
During the period of January 1, 2000 through June 30, 2000, the Company
completed mergers with eleven companies which were accounted for as poolings of
interests (the "First Half 2000 Mergers"): HW Group PLC; Microsurf, Inc.;
Burlington Wells, Inc.; Illsley Bourbonnais; System One Services, Inc.; GTR
Advertising; Virtual Relocation.com, Inc.; Business Technologies, Ltd.;
Simpatix, Inc.; Rollo Associates, Inc.; and Web Technology Partners, Inc. In
connection with these mergers, the Company issued 4,816,292 shares of TMP common
stock in exchange for all the outstanding common stock of these eleven
companies.
Consequently, the Company's consolidated financial statements have been
retroactively restated as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, to reflect the consummation
of the 1996 Mergers, the 1998 Mergers, the M&B Merger, the Second Quarter 1999
Mergers, the Third Quarter 1999 Mergers, the Fourth Quarter 1999 Mergers and the
First Half 2000 Mergers because such mergers have been accounted for as poolings
of interests (see Note 5). As a result, the financial position, and statements
of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows are presented as if
the combining companies had been consolidated for all periods presented. In
addition, the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity reflect the
accounts of TMP as if the additional common

in the First Half 2000 Mergers had been issued in the periods when each of the

exchange ratios of the mergers. In accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, the supplemental consolidated financial statements will become the
historical financial statements of the Company upon issuance of the financial
statements for the period that includes the consummation of the First Half 2000
Mergers.
In the supplemental consolidated balance sheets, the balance sheets of TMP
as of March 31, 2000 have been combined with those of the Second Quarter 2000
Mergers, and those as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 have been combined with
those of the First Half 2000 Mergers all as of March 31, 2000 and December 31,
1999 and 1998 except for the following: Illsley Bourbonnais, for which the
balance sheets as of January 31, 2000 and 1999 are combined with those of TMP as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively; Business Technologies Ltd. ("BTL"),
for which the balance sheets as of July 31, 1999 and 1998 are combined with
those of TMP as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively; HW Group PLC
("HW"), for which the balance sheet as of March 31, 1999 is combined with that
of TMP as of December 31, 1998. The supplemental consolidated statements of
income (loss) combine the results of TMP for the three months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999 with those of the Second Quarter 2000 Mergers and each year in the
three year period ended December 31, 1999 with those of the First Half 2000
Mergers all for the same periods except for the following: Illsley Bourbonnais,
for which the statements of income (loss) for the years ended January 31, 2000,
1999 and 1998 are included in the statements of income (loss) for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively; BTL for which the
statements of income (loss) for the years ended July 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 are
included in the statements of income (loss) for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively; HW for which the statements of income (loss)
for the years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 are included in the statements of
income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Furthermore, the results of Illsley Bourbonnais for the month ended January
31, 2000 are included in both the supplemental consolidated statements of income
(loss) for the year ended December 31, 1999 and in the supplemental consolidated
condensed statement of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
Therefore the following amounts have been included in both periods: (a)
commissions & fees of $1,019 and (b) net income of $285, with no impact on
earnings per share. Additionally, due to immateriality, the results of BTL for
the period August 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999 have not been included in
the supplemental consolidated condensed statement of income (loss) for the year
ended December 31, 1999 because the results of BTL for its fiscal year ended
July 31, 1999 were included in the supplemental consolidated condensed statement
of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 1999, including commissions and
fees of $314 and net income of $50. BTL's results for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 were included in the supplemental consolidated condensed
statement of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2000. In
addition, the results of HW, for the three months ended March 31, 1999 are
included in the supplemental consolidated statements of income (loss) in both
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the effects on both periods on (a)
commissions and fees was $11,075, (b) net income was $1,893 and (c) diluted
earnings per share was $0.02.

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 these affiliates.
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 commissions & fees 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:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
YEARS
--------
<S> <C>
Buildings and improvements.................................. 5-32
Furniture and equipment..................................... 3-10
Capitalized software costs.................................. 3-5
Computed equipment.......................................... 3-7
Transportation equipment.................................... 3-18
</TABLE>
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.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets, such as ongoing client relationships, goodwill and
property and equipment, are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount 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. Impairment losses have been recorded as
Merger and Integration Costs (see Note 5).

NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS
The financial position and results of operations of the Company's foreign
subsidiaries 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 other comprehensive loss account in stockholders' equity. Gains
and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other
income (expense).
COMMISSIONS AND FEES RECOGNITION AND WORK-IN-PROCESS
The Company earns fees for the placement of advertisements on the Internet,
primarily its careers Web site, Monster.com(sm). Such website related fees are
recognized over the length of the advertising agreement, typically one to six
months. The amounts not recognized are reported on the balance sheet as deferred
commissions and fees. The Company also derives commissions and fees for
advertisements placed in telephone directories, newspapers and other media, plus
associated fees for related services. Commissions and fees are generally
recognized upon placement date for newspapers and other media and on publication
close date for yellow page advertisements. The Company also earns fees for
Executive Search services. Commissions and fees are recognized as clients are
billed. Billings begin with the client's acceptance of a contract. A retainer
equal to 33( 1/)(3)% of a candidate's first year estimated annual cash
compensation is billed in equal installments over three consecutive months (at
which time, in general, the retainer has been substantially earned). A final
invoice is issued in the event that the candidate's actual compensation package
exceeds the original estimate. For Selection, a fee equal to between 20% and 30%
of a candidate's first year estimated annual cash compensation is billed in
equal installments over three consecutive months (the average length of time
needed to successfully complete an assignment). Temporary Contracting commission
and fees are recorded when earned.
The amounts charged to clients for Temporary Contracting services are
reported after deducting the costs of the temporary contractors. The details for
such amounts are (in thousands):

</TABLE>
The Company's quarterly commissions and fees are affected by the cyclical
nature of its operating segments. The timing of yellow page directory closings
is currently concentrated in the third quarter. However, 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. Amounts reported in the three
months ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 for commissions on volume
placements were $0.1 million, $0.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively. 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.
Direct operating costs incurred that relate to future commissions and fees,
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 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 five business segments: Interactive (including
Monster.com(SM) and MonsterMoving.com(SM)), Relocation Services, Recruitment
Advertising, Selection & Temporary Contracting, Executive Search and Yellow
Pages Advertising which now also includes full service interactive advertising
and marketing technology services through IN2. The Company's commissions and
fees are earned from the following activities: (a) advertisements placed on its
careers and other websites, (b) resume and other database access, (c) executive
placement services, (d) mid level employee selection and temporary contracting
services, (e) selling and placing recruitment advertising and related services,
(f) resume screening services and (g) selling and placing Yellow Page
Advertising and related services. These services are provided to a large number
of customers in many different industries. The Company operates principally
throughout North America, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe and the
Asia/Pacific Region (primarily Australia and New Zealand).
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.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable 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.

NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for its stock option awards under the intrinsic value
based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under the intrinsic value based
method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of
the stock at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee
must pay to acquire the stock. The Company makes pro forma disclosures of net
income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting
had been applied as required by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing
income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in
periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares
issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants. The Company's Board of
Directors authorized a 2-for-1 split of its common stock in the form of a stock
dividend, effective February 29, 2000. All shares and per share amounts in the
accompanying consolidated financials statements have been restated to give
effect to the stock split.
A reconciliation of shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings
per common and Class B common share follows (in thousands):

highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with an initial
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except
those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The
Company's only other item of comprehensive income (loss) is foreign currency
translation adjustments.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postetirement Benefits," which standardizes the
disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits. The
adoption of SFAS No. 132 in 1998 did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial statement disclosures.
CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS
The Company capitalizes certain incurred software development costs in
accordance with, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") issued Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Cost of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"). Costs
incurred during the application-development stage for software bought and
further customized by outside vendors for the Company's use and software
developed by a vendor for the Company's proprietary use have been capitalized.
Costs incurred for the Company's own personnel who are directly associated with
software development are capitalized. Capitalized software costs are being
amortized over periods of 3 to 5 years.
EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
During 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which had an initial adoption
date by the Company of January 1, 2000. During the second quarter of 1999, the
FASB postponed the adoption date of SFAS No. 133 until January 1, 2001. The FASB
further amended SFAS No. 133 in June 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires that all
derivative financial instruments be recorded on the consolidated balance sheets
at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives will be recorded
each period in earnings or other comprehensive earnings, depending on whether a
derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type
of hedge transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in
other comprehensive earnings will be reclassified as earnings in the periods in
which earnings are affected by the hedged item. The Company does not expect the
adoption of this statement to have a significant impact on the Company's results
of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101 dealing with revenue recognition which is effective in the
fourth quarter of 2000. The Company does not expect its adoption to have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the FASB issued EITF
Issue No. 00-2, "Website Development Costs," which established guidelines for
accounting for website development costs and is effective for quarters beginning
after June 30, 2000. Although the Company is still evaluating its impact, the
Company does not believe its adoption will have a significant effect on its
financial statements.

ACCRUED INTEGRATION AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS
Pursuant to the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force
("EITF") of the FASB in EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including
Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)," and No. 95-3, "Recognition of
Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination," in connection
with the acquisitions and mergers made in 1997, 1998 and 1999, the Company
formulated plans to integrate the operations of such companies. Such plans
involve the closure of certain offices of the acquired and merged companies and
the termination of certain management and employees. The objectives of the plans
are to eliminate redundant facilities and personnel, and to create a single
brand in the related markets in which the Company operates.
In connection therewith the Company expensed $35,612 in 1999, relating to
integration activities which are included in merger and integration expenses. In
addition, in 1999 LAI formulated plans to close

NOTE 8--FINANCING AGREEMENT
The Company obtains its primary financing from a financial institution under
a five year financing agreement as amended and restated on June 27, 1996,
further amended on November 14, 1997, and amended and restated again on November
5, 1998 (the "Agreement"). Subsequent to the five year term, which expires on
November 4, 2003, the Agreement provides for one year extensions subject to bank
approval unless terminated by either party at least 90 days prior to expiration
of the initial term or any renewal term. The Agreement, as amended, provides for
borrowings of up to $185,000 at the Company's choice of either (1) the higher of
(a) prime rate or (b) Federal Funds rate less ( 1)/(2) of 1% or (2) LIBOR plus a
margin determined by the ratio of the Company's debt to earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as defined in the
Agreement. At December 31, 1999 the margin equaled 0.75%. 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 as defined in the Agreement.
Substantially all of the 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. The
Agreement also provides for a fee on any unused portion of the commitment based
upon a rate determined by the ratio of the Company's debt to EBITDA. At December
31, 1999, this rate equaled 0.20%. In addition, the Agreement provides for a
declining termination fee of $1,000, $500, $0 for the annual periods ended
November 5, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively. The outstanding principal under
this agreement as of December 31, 1999 is approximately $91.2 million of which
$17.2 million is reflected as a reduction to accounts receivable and $15.3
million is for letters of credit. See Notes 9 and 17.
At December 31, 1999, the prime rate, Federal funds rate and one month LIBOR
were 8.50%, 5.50% and 5.82% respectively, and borrowings outstanding were at a
weighted average interest rate of 6.57%.

NOTE 10--MINORITY INTERESTS
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 176,850 shares (58%) of the outstanding common stock of the
acquired company held by the acquired company's employee stock ownership trust.
These shares were redeemed in January 1997 for a total of $3,133, which included
a redemption premium of $133.
NOTE 11--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. These shares were redeemed in January 1997 for a total of $2,105, which
included a redemption premium of $105.
NOTE 12--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
(A) COMMON AND CLASS B COMMON STOCK
Common and Class B common stock have identical rights except that each share
of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes and is convertible, at any
time, at the option of the stockholder into one share of common stock.
Effective February 29, 2000, a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a stock
dividend was paid. All share and per share amounts in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been restated to give effect to the stock
split.
(B) STOCK OPTIONS
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 both incentive stock options
F-49
<PAGE>
TMP WORLDWIDE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
NOTE 12--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
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 1,800,000 shares (amended to 6,000,000 on April 27, 1998) 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 90,000
shares (amended to 300,000 on June 25, 1997). At December 31, 1999,
approximately 2,008,451 options were exercisable and 1,625,742 options are
available for future grants.
In January 1996, the Company also adopted a stock option plan for
nonemployee directors (the "Directors' Plan"), pursuant to which options to
acquire a maximum aggregate of 360,000 shares of common stock may be granted to
nonemployee 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 22,500 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. At
December 31, 1999, approximately 104,740 options were exercisable and 170,000
options were available for future grants
In December 1998, the Company also adopted, subject to stockholder approval,
a long-term incentive plan (the "1999 Plan"), pursuant to which stock options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other equity based awards may be
granted. Stock options which may be granted may be incentive stock options and
nonqualified stock options within the meaning of the Code. The total number of
shares of the common stock of the Company which may be granted under the 1999
Plan is the sum of 30,000,000 and the number of shares available for new awards
under the Stock Option Plan. At December 31, 1999, approximately 1,138,556
options were exercisable and 17,427,886 options are available for future grants.
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related Interpretations in
accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise
price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the
underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by SFAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted
for its employee stock options under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair
value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-
Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions;
risk-free interest rates of approximately 6.1%, 4.6% and 6.5% in 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively; volatility factor of the expected market price of the
Company's common stock of 46%, 24% and 27% in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively;

At December 31, 1999, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for
U.S. Federal tax purposes of approximately $50 million which expire through 2019
and operating loss carryfowards in the United Kingdom and Australia of
approximately $8.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Company has
concluded that, based on expected future results, the future reversals of
existing taxable temporary differences, the tax benefits derived from the
exercise of nonqualified employee stock options, the amortization of benefits
from taxable poolings and the loss carryforwards of certain subsidiaries, which
are only usable by such subsidiary, there is no reasonable assurance that the
entire tax benefit can be used. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been
established. The deferred tax benefits from taxable poolings and the tax
benefits derived from the exercise of nonqualified stock options, net of the
valuation allowance, were recorded as additional paid-in capital.

million and $0, respectively which at the Federal statutory rate would have
equated to a tax benefit of $4.4 million, $2.4 million and $0, respectively,
(ii) amortization of intangible assets and (iii) meals & entertainment
expenses.
Provision has not been made for U.S. or additional foreign taxes on
undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Such earnings have been and will
continue to be reinvested but could become subject to additional tax if they
were remitted as dividends, or 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, 1999, the
cumulative amount of reinvested earnings was approximately $26.0 million.

through August 31, 2005 and $198,555 through the remainder of the lease and will
escalate during the terms of the lease. This space allows for the future
expansion of these and other Interactive operations of the Company.
(B) CONSULTING, EMPLOYMENT AND NON-COMPETE AGREEMENTS
The Company has entered into various consulting, employment and non-compete
agreements with certain management personnel, executive search consultants and
former owners of acquired businesses. These agreements are generally two to five
years in length, with one for a term of fifteen years and two providing
aggregate annual lifetime payments of approximately $135.
The Company has entered into an amended employment agreement with Andrew J.
McKelvey, effective November 15, 1996, for a term ending on November 14, 2001.

terminate his employment upon 90 days' prior written notice for any reason. The
agreement also provides that in the event Mr. McKelvey's employment is
terminated by the Company prior to its expiration for reasons other than for
"cause," the Company shall pay Mr. McKelvey his base salary for the remaining
term of the agreement at the times it would have been payable had he remained
employed. The agreement further provides that in the event of Mr. McKelvey's
voluntary resignation, termination of his employment by the Company for cause or
nonrenewal of the agreement, Mr. McKelvey 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 for a period of 180 days after any such termination at the
times it would have been payable had he remained employed. The agreement also
contains confidentially provisions, whereby Mr. McKelvey agrees not to disclose
any confidential information regarding the Company and its affiliates.
Such agreements provide for the following aggregate annual payments:

a portion of their compensation. This compensation, together with accrued
interest, is paid upon termination of the agreements, as defined. Effective
January 1, 1999, the plan was amended to prohibit future deferrals of
compensation to the plan. The present value of the obligation is recorded as a
long-term liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and was
$9,786 at December 31, 1999. Interest is earned on deferred amounts at a rate
determined annually by LAI (6.25% at December 31, 1999).
(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.
M & B has had proceedings issued against it in New Zealand for an amount of
$3,400. These proceedings relate to the acquisition of the claimant's business
in New Zealand prior to Morgan & Banks New Zealand Limited becoming a controlled
entity of the M & B group. The parties have engaged in significant discovery.
The directors of M & B are of the opinion that the claim is without substance
and, accordingly, the action is being vigorously defended.
(E) AOL MARKETING AGREEMENT
On December 1, 1999, the Company entered into a content and marketing
arrangement with America Online, Inc. Pursuant to this arrangement, the
Company's flagship Interactive property, Monster.com(sm), for the payment of
$100 million over four years, would be the exclusive provider of career search
services in the United States and Canada for four years to AOL members,
currently over 21 million, across seven AOL properties, including the AOL
Service, AOL Canada, Compuserve, ICQ, AOL.com, Netscape and Digital City. The
$100 million will be expensed pro rata over the four year life of the agreement
pursuant to the number of impressions contracted per year as a percent of the
total impressions anticipated over the life of the agreement.
(F) OTHER
(i) The Company is contingently liable on a note of the Principal
Stockholder in the amount of approximately $1,600.
(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, 1999 is
approximately $6,200 based on the formula.
NOTE 15--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
(A) The Company charged management and other fees to affiliates for services
provided of approximately $1,257, $651 and $788 for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. Such fees are reflected as a reduction of
salaries and related costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations.

NOTE 15--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
(B) In January 1994, the Company acquired a 50% interest in an agency
selling real estate advertising. In connection with this acquisition, the
Company agreed to provide the agency with certain office and administrative
services which amounted to $321 for the nine months ended September 31, 1997 at
which time the arrangement was terminated.. 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, provided 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 was exercised in February
1997 and 123,696 shares of common stock were issued to these stockholders
pursuant to the above agreement. Simultaneously, the Company transferred to such
stockholders 50% of its interest in the agency, thus retaining a 25% interest
and terminated its obligation to provide office and administrative services
effective October 1, 1997.
(C) The Company leases an office from an entity in which the Principal
Stockholder and other stockholders have a 90% ownership interest. Annual rent
expense under the lease, which expires in the year 2004, amounts to
approximately $554.
(D) Beginning in June 1999, the Company periodically used the services of an
aircraft from a company owned by the Principal Stockholder, and in connection
therewith, $215 was paid through December 1999.
NOTE 16--SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA
The Company operates in five business segments: Interactive (including
Monster.com(sm) and MonsterMoving.com(sm)), Recruitment Advertising, Selection &
Temporary Contracting, Executive Search and Yellow Page Advertising which now

(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated condensed interim financial statements included herein have
been prepared by TMP Worldwide Inc. ("TMP" or 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 that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair
presentation of the information contained herein. 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, 1999. The Company follows the same
accounting policies in preparation of interim reports.
During the period of January 1, 2000 through March 31, 2000, the Company
consummated mergers with the following companies in transactions that provided
for the exchange of all of the outstanding stock of each entity for a total of
1,699,123 shares of TMP common stock. Such transactions were accounted for as
poolings of interests (the "First Quarter 2000 Mergers"):

</TABLE>
Accordingly, the consolidated condensed financial statements included herein
as of December 31, 1999 and for the 1999 period have been retroactively restated
to reflect the First Quarter 2000 Mergers as if the combining companies had been
consolidated for all periods presented. As a result, the financial position, and
statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows are
presented as if the combining companies had been consolidated for all periods
presented. In addition, the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity
reflect the accounts of TMP as if the additional common stock issued in
connection with these mergers had been issued for all periods presented.
Furthermore, the results of Illsley Bourbonnais for the month ended January 31,
2000 are included in both the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for
the year ended December 31, 1999 and the consolidated statement of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Therefore the following amounts have
been included in both periods: (a) commissions & fees of $1,019 and (b) net
income of $285.
Furthermore, for the period April 1, 1999 through March 31, 2000 the Company
completed 22 acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting. Given the
significant number of acquisitions affecting the periods presented, the results
of operations from period to period may not necessarily be comparable.
Furthermore, results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of annual results.

On January 27, 2000, in connection with its third public offering, the
Company issued an aggregate of, on a post-split basis, 8,000,000 shares of
common stock at a purchase price of $77 5/16 per share. The offering was
completed in February 2000. The net proceeds from this offering were
$594.2 million, and approximately $85 million was used to pay down debt on the
Company's credit line. The remainder is being invested in short term interest
bearing instruments until used for acquisitions, strategic equity investments
and general corporate purposes.
Basic earnings per share assumes no dilution, and is computed by dividing
income available to common and Class B common shareholders by the weighted
average number of common and Class B common shares outstanding during each
period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a
dilutive effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock
options and warrants, and contingent shares, based on the treasury method of
computing such effects.
A reconciliation of shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings
per common and Class B common share follows:

MERGER & INTEGRATION COSTS INCURRED WITH POOLING OF INTERESTS TRANSACTIONS
Merger and integration costs are expenses incurred in connection with
business combinations accounted for under the pooling of interests method of
accounting. In general, merger costs are comprised of transaction costs (such as
advisory, legal and accounting fees, printing costs and costs incurred for the
subsequent registration of shares in connection with the transactions) and stay
bonuses. Integration costs are those associated with the elimination of
redundant facilities and personnel, integration of the operations of the pooled
entities and acceleration of benefits and separation pay in accordance with
pre-existing contractual change in control provisions.
In connection with pooling of interests transactions completed prior to
March 31, 2000, the Company expensed merger and integration costs of $8,674. Of
this amount $3,607 is for merger costs and $5,067 is for integration costs. The
merger costs for the period ended March 31, 2000 consist of (a) $2,323 of
non-cash employee stay bonuses and (b) $1,284 of transaction related costs,
including legal, accounting, printing and advisory fees and the costs incurred
for the subsequent registration of shares issued in the acquisitions. The $5,067
of integration costs consist of: (a) $2,544 for assumed obligations of closed
facilities, (b) $2,871 for consolidation of acquired facilities and (c) $121 for
severance, relocation and other

employee costs, partially offset by a $469 recovery of a reserve for
receivables. See schedule of Accrued Integration and Restructuring Costs in the
section below.
ACQUISITIONS ACCOUNTED FOR USING THE PURCHASE METHOD
In addition to the pooling of interests transactions discussed above, in the
three month period ended March 31, 2000, the Company completed four acquisitions
using the purchase method of accounting, two Search & Selection firms and two
Recruitment Advertising firms. The total amount of cash paid for these
acquisitions was approximately $14.4 million. In addition, the Company issued
247,098 shares of common stock in connection with certain of the above mentioned
acquisitions. 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 three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and the year ended
December 31, 1999 assume the acquisitions in 2000 and 1999 occurred as of the
beginning of the year of acquisition and the beginning of the preceding year.

ACCRUED INTEGRATION AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS
In connection with its acquisitions, the Company formulated plans to
integrate the operations of the acquired companies. Such plans involve the
closure of certain offices of such companies and the elimination of redundant
management and employees. The objectives of the plans are to take advantage of
the Company's existing operating infrastructure and efficiencies or to develop
efficiencies from the infrastructure of the acquired companies, and to create a
single brand in the related markets in which the Company operates.
In connection with such plans, in the three months ended March 31, 2000, the
Company (i) expensed, as part of merger and integration expenses, $5,067, for
companies acquired in transactions accounted for as poolings of interests and
(ii) increased goodwill by $1,078 for companies acquired in transactions
accounted for under the purchase method. In addition, in 1999 LAI Worldwide,
Inc. ("LAI") formulated plans to close its London, England and Hong Kong
offices. In connection with these office closings, LAI

December 31, 2000 in connection with the restructuring plans. The amount is
based on the present value of minimum future lease obligations, net of
estimated sublease income.
(b) Other costs associated with the closure or consolidation of existing offices
of acquired companies in the amount of $10,800 as of March 31, 2000 relate
to termination costs of contracts relating to billing systems, external
reporting systems and other contractual arrangements with third parties.
(c) Above market lease costs in the amount of $529 as of March 31, 2000 relate
to the present value of contractual lease payments in excess of current
market lease rates.
(d) Estimated employee severance and relocation expenses and other employee
costs in the amount of $1,550 as of March 31, 2000 relate to estimated
severance for terminated employees at closed locations, costs associated
with employees transferred to continuing offices and other related costs.
Employee groups affected include sales, service, administrative and
management personnel at duplicate locations as well as redundant management
and administrative personnel at corporate headquarters. As of March 31,
2000, the accrual related to senior management, sales, service and
administrative personnel. During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, payments
of $462 were made for severance and charged against the reserve.
(e) Pension obligations in the amount of $1,658 were assumed in connection with
the acquisition of Austin Knight.
The Company continues to evaluate and assess the impact of duplicate
responsibilities and office locations. In connection with the finalization of
preliminary plans relating to purchased entities, additions to restructuring
reserves within one year of the date of acquisition are treated as additional
purchase price but costs incurred resulting from plan revisions made after the
first year will be charged to operations in the period in which they occur.

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, 1999 and 1998, and the
related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss),
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999. 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 did not audit the financial
statements of Morgan & Banks Limited as of December 31, 1998 and for the years
ended December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1998 which were combined with the
Company's financial statements as of December 31, 1998 and for each of the two
years in the period ended December 31, 1998, which financial statements reflect
total assets of approximately $52.3 million as of December 31, 1998 and total
commissions & fees of approximately $255.4 million and $235.8 million for the
years ended December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1998, respectively. Those financial
statements were audited by another auditor whose report has been furnished to
us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Morgan &
Banks Limited for the applicable years, is based solely on the report of the
other auditor. We did not audit the financial statements of LAI Worldwide, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of February 28, 1999 and for each of the two years in the
period ended February 28, 1999 which were combined with the Company's financial
statements as of December 31, 1998 and for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 1998, which financial statements reflect total assets of
approximately $103.8 million as of February 28, 1999 and total commissions &
fees of approximately $61.8 million and $86.8 million for each of the two years
in the period ended February 28, 1999, respectively. Those financial statements
were audited by another auditor whose report has been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for LAI Worldwide, Inc.
and subsidiaries for the applicable years, is based solely on the report of the
other auditor.
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 and the reports of the other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors,
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, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

amounts and other disclosures in the financial statements, and the evaluation of
accounting policies and significant accounting estimates. These procedures have
been undertaken to form an opinion as to whether, in all material respects, the
financial statements are presented fairly in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements and
statutory requirements so as to present a view which is consistent with our
understanding of the company's and the economic entity's financial position and
the results of its operations and its cash flows.
The audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above
basis.

TMP WORLDWIDE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
TMP Worldwide Inc. ("TMP" or 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 December 1996
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 had voting proxy on the remaining outstanding
shares of WCI.
WCI was organized in 1993 to sell recruitment advertising. On December 9,
1996, Old TMP, which sold yellow page advertising services, merged into MEI.
Thereafter, WCI merged into MEI, MEI then merged into Telephone Marketing
Programs Incorporated and MEI acquired the outstanding minority interest of a
subsidiary (the "1996 Mergers"). Concurrent with the 1996 Mergers, Telephone
Marketing Programs Incorporated changed its name to TMP Worldwide Inc.
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, the interests previously owned by the Principal
Stockholder are carried at predecessor basis, and in December 1996 (i) goodwill
in the amount of approximately $1.6 million was recorded for the issuance of
542,556 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 initial public offering price of $7.00 per share, less approximately
$2.2 million previously recorded on the issuance of these shares, and
(ii) special compensation in the amount of approximately $52.0 million was
recorded for the issuance of 7,169,580 shares of common stock of the Company to
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 initial public
offering price of $7.00 per share. The minority stockholders of Old TMP had
received compensation in lieu of their share of earnings of 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.
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 acquisition by the Principal
Stockholder.
For the period April 1, 1998 through December 31, 1999, the Company

NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
in January 1999: (the "M&B Merger"). In connection with these mergers, the
Company issued 17,578,910 shares of our common stock in exchange for all of the
outstanding common stock of these seven companies. From April 1, 1999 to
June 30, 1999, the Company completed pooling of interests mergers (the "Second
Quarter 1999 Mergers") with six companies: Interquest Pty. Limited
("Interquest"), LIDA Advertising Inc. ("LIDA"), Maes & Lunau ("M&L"), IN2, Inc.
("IN2"), Lemming & LeVan, Inc. ("L&L"), and Yellow Pages Unlimited, Inc.
("YPU"), (the "Second Quarter 1999 Pooled Companies"). In connection with the
Second Quarter 1999 Mergers the Company issued a total of 1,800,480 shares of
TMP common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding stock of the Second
Quarter 1999 Pooled Companies. In addition, from July 1, 1999 through
September 30, 1999, the Company completed pooling of interests mergers (the
"Third Quarter 1999 Mergers") with five companies, Cameron-Newell
Advertising, Inc. ("CNA"), Brook Street Bureau (QLD) Pty Ltd, ("Brook St."), LAI
Worldwide, Inc. ("LAI"), Fox Advertising Inc. ("Fox") and Lampen Group Limited
("Lampen") ("the Third Quarter 1999 Pooled Companies"). In connection with the
Third Quarter 1999 Mergers the Company issued a total of 4,306,914 shares of TMP
common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding stock of the Third Quarter
1999 Pooled Companies. From October 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999, the
Company completed mergers with two companies, Highland Search Group L.L.C.
("Highland") and TMC S.r.l. ("Amrop Italy") (the "Fourth Quarter 1999 Pooled
Companies"), which provided for the exchange of all of the outstanding stock of
such companies for a total of 1,517,226 shares of TMP common stock and which
were accounted for as poolings of interests (the "Fourth Quarter 1999 Mergers").
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been retroactively
restated to reflect the effect of the 1996 Mergers, the 1998 Mergers, the M & B
Merger, the Second Quarter 1999 Mergers, the Third Quarter 1999 Mergers and the
Fourth Quarter 1999 Mergers, because such mergers have been accounted for as
poolings of interests (see Note 5). As a result, the financial position, results
of operations, and statements of comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows
included herein are presented as if the combining companies had been
consolidated for all periods presented. The consolidated statements of
stockholders' equity reflect the accounts of TMP as if the additional common
stock issued in connection with these mergers had been issued for all periods
presented.
In addition, the results of Brook St. for the six months ended June 30, 1999
and the results of LAI for the two months ended February 28, 1999 are included
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for both the year ended
December 31, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1999. Therefore this results
in the inclusion of the following amounts in both periods of (a) commissions &
fees of $11.1 million and (b) a net loss of $3.8 million or $(0.10) per diluted
share.
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 these affiliates.

NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 commissions & fees and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
computed primarily using the straight-line method over the following estimated
useful lives:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
YEARS
--------
<S> <C>
Buildings and improvements.................................. 5-32
Furniture and equipment..................................... 3-10
Capitalized software costs.................................. 3- 5
Computer equipment.......................................... 3- 7
Transportation equipment.................................... 3-18
</TABLE>
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.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets, such as ongoing client relationships, goodwill and
property and equipment, are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount 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. Impairment losses have been recorded as
Merger and Integration Costs (See Note 5).
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS
The financial position and results of operations of the Company's foreign
subsidiaries 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 other comprehensive loss account in stockholders' equity. Gains
and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other
income (expense).

COMMISSIONS & FEES RECOGNITION AND WORK-IN-PROCESS
The Company earns fees for the placement of advertisements on the Internet,
primarily its career Web site, Monster.com(sm). Such website related fees are
recognized over the length of the advertising agreement, typically one to six
months. The amounts not recognized are reported on the balance sheet as deferred
revenue. The Company also derives commissions & fees for advertisements placed
in telephone directories, newspapers and other media, plus associated fees for
related services. Commissions and fees are generally recognized upon placement
date for newspapers and other media and on publication close date for yellow
page advertisements. The Company also earns fees for executive search and
mid-level selection services. Commissions & fees are recognized as clients are
billed. Billings begin with the client's acceptance of a contract. For search, a
retainer equal to 33 1/3% of a candidate's first year estimated annual cash
compensation is billed in equal installments over three consecutive months (at
which time, in general, the retainer has been substantially earned). A final
invoice is issued in the event that the candidate's actual compensation package
exceeds the original estimate. For selection, a fee equal to between 20% and 30%
of a candidate's first year estimated annual cash compensation is billed in
equal installments over three consecutive months (the average length of time
needed to successfully complete an assignment). Temporary Contracting
commission & fees are recorded when earned.
The amounts charged to clients for Temporary Contracting services are
reported net of the costs of the temporary contractors. The details for such
amounts are (in thousands):

======== ======== ========
</TABLE>
The Company's quarterly commissions & fees are affected by the cyclical
nature of its operating segments. The timing of yellow page directory closings
is currently concentrated in the third quarter. However, 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. Amounts reported in the three
months ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 for commissions on volume
placements were $0.1 million, $0.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The
Company's quarterly commissions & 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.
Direct operating costs incurred that relate to future commissions & fees,
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.

NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
INCOME TAXES
The provision 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 five business segments: Interactive, Recruitment
Advertising, Executive Search and Selection, Temporary Contracting and Yellow
Page Advertising. The Company earns fees for advertisements placed on its
Internet websites, commission income for selling and placing recruitment and
yellow page advertising to a large number of customers in many different
industries, fees for executive and mid-level selection services, and
commissions & fees in connection with the providing of temporary contracting
services. The Company operates principally throughout North America, the United
Kingdom, Continental Europe and the Asia Pacific Region.
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.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable 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.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for its stock option awards under the intrinsic value
based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Under the
intrinsic value based method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the
quoted market price of the stock at grant date or other measurement date over
the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company makes pro
forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value
based method of accounting had been applied as required by SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123").
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing
income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in
periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares
issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants. The Company's Board of
Directors authorized

number of options is approximately 15,658.
STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
For purposes of the statement 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.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except
those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The
Company's only item of comprehensive income (loss) is foreign currency
translation adjustments.
POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS
In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, Employers' Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, which standardizes the disclosure
requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits. The adoption of
SFAS No. 132 in 1998 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
statement disclosures.
CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS
The Company capitalizes certain incurred software development costs in
accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA")

the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP
98-1"). Costs incurred during the application-development stage for software
bought and further customized by outside vendors for the Company's use and
software developed by a vendor for the Company's proprietary use have been
capitalized. Costs incurred for the Company's own personnel who are directly
associated with software development are capitalized. Capitalized software costs
are being amortized over periods of 3 to 5 years.
EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives and
Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for
hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does not expect the adoption of
this statement to have a significant impact on the Company's results of
operations or financial position.

ACQUISITIONS ACCOUNTED FOR USING THE PURCHASE METHOD
In addition to the pooling of interests transactions discussed above, the
Company has acquired 51 businesses (primarily recruitment advertising
businesses) between January 1, 1997 and December 31, 1999 including, on
August 26, 1997, 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, in July 1997, of real property by
Austin Knight. The total amount of cash paid and promissory notes and common
stock of the Company issued for these acquisitions was approximately $56,442,
$30,668 and $74,500 for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The shares of common
stock issued by the Company in connection with certain of the above mentioned
acquisitions were 804,160, 402,812 and 270,056 for 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. These acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting and accordingly, operations of these businesses have been
included in the consolidated financial statements from their acquisition dates.
On February 27, 1998, LAI completed the acquisition of Ward Howell
International, Inc. ("WHI"). The purchase price was approximately $19,500
including $7,600 in notes payable and approximately $3,050 in LAI common stock.
The remaining $8,850 of the purchase consideration was payable to the former WHI
stockholders as of February 28, 1998 and is accrued for in the accompanying
balance sheets. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with goodwill
being recognized for the excess of the purchase amount over the fair market
value of the assets acquired.
On January 2, 1998, LAI acquired Chartwell Partners International, Inc.
("CPI"). The acquisition cost was approximately $3,100 and consisted of
approximately $1,400 in cash, a $1,250 convertible subordinated note payable and
$400 of LAI common stock. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with
goodwill being recognized for the excess of the purchase amount over the fair
value of the assets acquired. The convertible subordinated note is payable in
three equal installments, plus accrued interest and bears interest at 6.75%. The
subordinated note is convertible into shares of common stock at each anniversary
at prices specified in the asset purchase agreement.
The summarized unaudited pro forma results of operations set forth below for
the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 assume the acquisitions in 1999 and
1998 occurred as of the beginning of the year of acquisition and the beginning

In connection with the acquisitions and mergers made in 1997, 1998 and 1999,
the Company formulated plans to integrate the operations of such companies. Such
plans involve the closure of certain offices of the acquired and merged
companies and the termination of certain management and employees. The
objectives of the plans are to eliminate redundant facilities and personnel, and
to create a single brand in the related markets in which the Company operates.
In connection therewith the Company expensed $35,612 in 1999, relating to
integration activities which are included in Merger and integration expenses. In
addition, in 1999 LAI formulated plans to close its London, England and Hong
Kong offices. In connection with these office closings, LAI charged earnings for
the year ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 for $2,789 and $3,543, respectively.
These costs and liabilities include:

administrative and management personnel at duplicate locations as well as
duplicate corporate headquarters management and administrative personnel. As
of December 31, 1999 the accrual related to approximately 48 employees
including senior management, sales, service and administrative personnel.
During the year ended December 31, 1999, payments of $4,987 were made to 43
members of senior management and employees for severance and charged against
the reserve.
(e) Pension obligations in the amount of $1,658 were assumed in connection with
the acquisition of Austin Knight.
The Company continues to evaluate and assess the impact of duplicate
responsibilities and office locations. In connection with the finalization of
preliminary plans relating to purchased entities, additions to restructuring
reserves within one year of the date of acquisition are treated as additional
purchase price; costs incurred resulting from plan revisions made after the
first year will be charged to operations in the period in which they occur.

NOTE 8--FINANCING AGREEMENT (CONTINUED)
approval unless terminated by either party at least 90 days prior to expiration
of the initial term or any renewal term. The Agreement, as amended, provides for
borrowings of up to $185,000 at the Company's choice of either (1) the higher of
(a) prime rate or (b) Federal Funds rate less 1/2 of 1% or (2) LIBOR plus a
margin determined by the ratio of the Company's debt to earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as defined in the
Agreement. At December 31, 1999 the margin equaled 0.75%. 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 as defined in the Agreement.
Substantially all of the 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. The
Agreement also provides for a fee on any unused portion of the commitment based
upon a rate determined by the ratio of the Company's debt to EBITDA. At
December 31, 1999, this rate equaled 0.20%. In addition, the Agreement provides
for a declining termination fee of $1,000, $500, $0 for the annual periods ended
November 5, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively. The outstanding principal under
this agreement as of December 31, 1999 is approximately $91.2 million of which
$17.2 million is reflected as a reduction to accounts receivable and $15.3
million is for letters of credit. See Notes 9 and 17.
At December 31, 1999, the prime rate, Federal funds rate and one month LIBOR
were 8.50%, 5.50% and 5.82% respectively, and borrowings outstanding were at a
weighted average interest rate of 6.57%.

NOTE 10--MINORITY INTERESTS
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 176,850 shares (58%) of the outstanding common stock of the
acquired company held by the acquired company's employee stock ownership trust.
These shares were redeemed in January 1997 for a total of $3,133, which included
a redemption premium of $133.
NOTE 11--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. These shares were redeemed in January 1997 for a total of $2,105, which
included a redemption premium of $105.
NOTE 12--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
(A) COMMON AND CLASS B COMMON STOCK
Common and Class B common stock have identical rights except that each share
of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes and is convertible, at any
time, at the option of the stockholder into one share of common stock.
Effective February 29, 2000, a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a stock
dividend was paid. All share and per share amounts in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been restated to give effect to the stock
split.
(B) STOCK OPTIONS
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 both 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 1,800,000 shares (amended to
6,000,000 on

NOTE 12--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
April 27, 1998) 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 90,000
shares (amended to 300,000 on June 25, 1997). At December 31, 1999,
approximately 1,806,666 options were exercisable and 1,625,742 options are
available for future grants.
In January 1996, the Company also adopted a stock option plan for
nonemployee directors (the "Directors' Plan"), pursuant to which options to
acquire a maximum aggregate of 360,000 shares of common stock may be granted to
nonemployee 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 22,500 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 at
December 31, 1999, approximately 104,740 options were exercisable, and 170,000
options were available for future grants.
In December 1998, the Company also adopted a long-term incentive plan (the
"1999 Plan"), pursuant to which stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock and other equity based awards may be granted. Stock options
which may be granted may be incentive stock options and nonqualified stock
options within the meaning of the Code. The total number of shares of the common
stock of the Company which may be granted under the 1999 Plan is the sum of
30,000,000 and the number of shares available for new awards under the Stock
Option Plan. At December 31, 1999, approximately 1,138,556 options were
exercisable and 17,427,886 options are available for future grants.
The Company applies APB 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its
employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the
Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock
on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by SFAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted
for its employee stock options under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair
value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-
Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions;
risk-free interest rates of approximately 6.1%, 4.6% and 6.5% in 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively; volatility factor of the expected market price of the
Company's common stock of 46%, 24% and 27% in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively;
a weighted average expected life of the options of 8 years in 1999, 1998 and
1997; and no dividend yield in 1999, 1998 and 1997.

At December 31, 1999, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for
U.S. Federal tax purposes of approximately $50 million which expire through 2019
and operating loss carryforwards in the United Kingdom and Australia of
approximately $8.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Company has
concluded that, based on expected future results, the future reversals of
existing taxable temporary differences, the tax benefits derived from the
exercise of nonqualified employee stock options, the amortization of benefits
from taxable poolings and the loss carryforwards of certain subsidiaries, which
are only useable by such subsidiary, there is no reasonable assurance that the
entire tax benefit can be used. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been
established. The deferred tax benefits from taxable poolings and the tax
benefits derived from the exercise of nonqualified stock options, net of the
valuation allowance, were recorded as additional paid-in capital.

(1) Primarily due to nondeductible (i) merger costs of $12.5 million, $6.9
million and $0, respectively which at the Federal statutory rate would have
equated to a tax benefit of $4.4 million, $2.4 million and $0, respectively,
(ii) amortization of intangible assets and (iii) meals & entertainment
expenses.
Provision has not been made for U.S. or additional foreign taxes on
undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Such earnings have been and will
continue to be reinvested but could become subject to additional tax if they
were remitted as dividends, or 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, 1999, the
cumulative amount of reinvested earnings was approximately $26,000.

NOTE 14--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
LAI has deferred compensation agreements with 58 employees and former
employees. Under the terms of the agreements, employees are eligible to make
annual elections, on calendar year basis, to defer a portion of their
compensation. This compensation, together with accrued interest, is paid upon
termination of the agreements, as defined. Effective January 1, 1999, the plan
was amended to prohibit future deferrals of compensation to the plan. The
present value of the obligation is recorded as a long-term liability in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets and was $9,786 at December 31, 1999.
Interest is earned on deferred amounts at a rate determined annually by LAI
(6.25% at December 31, 1999).
(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.
M & B has had proceedings issued against it in New Zealand for an amount of
$3,400. These proceedings relate to the acquisition of the claimant's business
in New Zealand prior to Morgan & Banks New Zealand Limited becoming a controlled
entity of the M & B group. The parties have engaged in significant discovery.
The directors of M & B are of the opinion that the claim is without substance
and, accordingly, the action is being vigorously defended.
(E) AOL MARKETING AGREEMENT
On December 1, 1999, the Company entered into a content and marketing
arrangement with America Online, Inc. Pursuant to this arrangement, the
Company's flagship Interactive property, Monster.com(sm), for the payment of
$100 million over four years, would be the exclusive provider of career search
services in the United States and Canada for four years to AOL members,
currently over 21 million, across seven AOL properties: AOL, AOL Canada,
Compuserve, ICQ, AOL.com, Netscape and Digital City. The $100 million will be
expensed pro rata over the four year life of the agreement pursuant to the
number of impressions contracted per year as a percent of the total impressions
anticipated over the life of the agreement.
(F) OTHER
(i) The Company is contingently liable on a note of the Principal
Stockholder in the amount of approximately $1,600.
(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, 1999 is
approximately $6,200 based on the formula.
NOTE 15--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
(A) The Company charged management and other fees to affiliates for
services provided of approximately $1,257, $651 and $788 for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. Such fees are reflected as a
reduction of salaries and related costs in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations.

NOTE 15--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
(B) In January 1994, the Company acquired a 50% interest in an agency
selling real estate advertising. In connection with this acquisition, the
Company agreed to provide the agency with certain office and administrative
services which amounted to $321 for the nine months ended September 31, 1997 at
which time the arrangement was terminated. 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, provided 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 was exercised in
February 1997 and 123,696 shares of common stock were issued to these
stockholders pursuant to the above agreement. Simultaneously, the Company
transferred to such stockholders 50% of its interest in the agency, thus
retaining a 25% interest and terminated its obligation to provide office and
administrative services effective October 1, 1997.
(C) The Company leases an office from an entity in which the Principal
Stockholder and other stockholders have a 90% ownership interest. Annual rent
expense under the lease, which expires in the year 2004, amounts to
approximately $554.
(D) Beginning in June 1999, the Company periodically used the services of
an aircraft from a company owned by the Principal Stockholder, and in connection
therewith, $215 was paid through December 1999.
NOTE 16--SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA

On February 2, 2000, the Company completed a follow on public offering of an
aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $77 5/16
per share. The public offering was managed by Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated,
Goldman, Sachs & Co., Salomon Smith Barney Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.,
PaineWebber Incorporated, and U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray Inc. Net proceeds from
this offering were $595.3 million and $82 million was used to pay down debt on
the Company's credit line. The remainder will be used for strategic equity
investments and general corporate purposes.
On February 16, 2000 the Company completed its previously announced
acquisition of the HW Group PLC ("HW") whereby the Company acquired all of the
outstanding stock of HW in a stock for stock transaction and issued
approximately 716,000 shares of TMP common stock. HW is a recruitment
consultancy firm based in the UK specializing in the financial and legal markets
with a presence in executive, information technology and international

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
in the United States of America and Germany. 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
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all
material respects, the financial position of Baumgartner + Partner
Personalberatung GmbH as of December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles of the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A) THE COMPANY
The financial statements include Baumgartner + Partner Personalberatung GmbH
("the Company"), Sindelfingen. The Company is active in executive search,
personnel consulting and media services primarily in Germany.
B) AUDIT SCOPE
The Company prepares its statutory financial statements in accordance with
German Commercial Code and German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz
betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschrankter Haftung) which are the basis of
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in Germany. GAAP in Germany
varies in certain significant respects from those in the United States.
Financial statements in accordance with US-GAAP have been prepared after
examining potential differences between German-GAAP and US-GAAP. The principal
difference between German-GAAP and US-GAAP for the Company relates to revenue
recognition and the related income tax effect which results in an increase in
net income before profit transfer of approximately USD 155,313.
C) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The financial statements of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with US-GAAP.
USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of the financial statements requires the
Company's management to make estimates and assumptions regarding the amounts of
receivables, liabilities and provisions and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of
sales and expenses during the reported period. Actual results may differ from
those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND WORK IN PROGRESS: The Company's revenues are
derived principally from services rendered to clients for search and selection
of employees. Revenues are recognized in general in three stages: The first
portion (between 25% and 40%) of the agreed total is invoiced at the time of
contract signing, the second portion (between 25% and 40%) approximately ten
weeks later and the remainder upon completion of the project, which approximates
when services are rendered. Work-in-progress is estimated at the lower of
production costs and net realizable value. Work-in-progress shows the difference
between production costs incurred and revenues already recognized for each
project. The production costs are estimated for every single project based on
the selling price of the project without considering costs that cannot be
capitalized, such as selling expenses.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: All highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES: Trade accounts receivables are shown in the
balance sheet with their net realizable value after the respective revenues have
been recognized, net of provisions of USD 96,021.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment is valued at acquisition
cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to
8 years using the straight line method.

BAUMGARTNER + PARTNER PERSONALBERATUNG GMBH
SINDELFINGEN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
(CONTINUED)
LONG-LIVED ASSETS: Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are
evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of those assets. When any
such impairment exists, the related assets will be written down to fair value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS: The Company has presented
its financial statements in US-Dollars. The financial position and results of
operations are determined using local currency as functional currency. Assets
and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at 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 other
comprehensive loss account in equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign
currency transactions are included in other income (expense).
CREDIT RISK: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company
to concentrations of credit risk are primarily accounts receivable. The Company
performs continuing 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.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The carrying amounts reported in the
balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts
payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity
of those financial instruments.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS): Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to
include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners
and distributions to owners. The Company's only item of other comprehensive
income (loss) is the foreign currency translation adjustment.
CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS: The Company capitalizes certain incurred
software development costs in accordance with the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position No. 98-1,
"Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal
Use". Costs incurred during the application-development stage for software
bought and further customized by outside vendors for the Company's use and
software developed by the vendor for the Company's proprietary use have been
capitalized. Capitalized software costs are amortized over a period of 4 years.
EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: In June 1998, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities",
which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities.
SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement
to have significant impact on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.
ADVERTISING COSTS: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs
are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The following transactions with the related parties of
Baumgartner + Partner Personalsberatung GmbH have been reflected in the
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1999:

Charge for trade income tax................................. 510,645
Receivable from parent...................................... 292,461
Payables to affiliated company.............................. 887,031
</TABLE>
Profit transfer to parent arises from the profit and loss pooling agreement
between the Company and its parent, Karl Baumgartner + Partner Consulting
GmbH & Co. KG.
The charge for trade income tax arises because the parent company pays the
trade income tax on the earnings of the Company and charges it back to the
Company.

<PAGE>
BAUMGARTNER + PARTNER PERSONALBERATUNG GMBH
SINDELFINGEN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
(CONTINUED)
Receivable from shareholder is from Karl Baumgartner + Partner Consulting
GmbH & Co KG for services of cash management, profit distribution, trade tax
recharge and VAT payments.
Payable to affiliated company is between Baumgartner + Partner
Unternehmensberatung GmbH and the Company for charges of rent, recharged
salaries and others.
INCOME TAXES
The income of the Company is transferred by a profit and loss pooling
agreement contract ("Ergebnisabfuhrungsvertrag") to its shareholder Karl
Baumgartner + Partner Consulting GmbH & Co. KG. Between the Company and its
shareholder exists a fiscal unity ("Organschaft") for trade-tax and
corporation-tax. Therefore, only the shareholder has to pay taxes on the
consolidated income. The shareholder recharges to the Company the trade tax that
would have to be paid on the income of the Company.
The shareholder is a limited partnership and has therefore only to pay the
trade income tax. The partners of the parent company will have to pay income tax
on their individual part of the income after trade income tax of the
partnership. These individual income tax payments are not shown in the financial
statements of the partnership.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
OPERATING LEASES:
In 1999 the Company recorded lease expenses for company cars of USD 302,834
and expenses for the leasing of office equipment of USD 70,845.
The leasing commitments at December 31, 1999 are as follows (in US-Dollars):

to TMP Worldwide Inc. ("TMP") on February 10, 2000 in exchange for approximately
$10 million in cash and 169,764 shares of unregistered TMP common stock.
In connection with the transfer of shares to TMP the Company had to pay an
additional compensation of USD 386,760 to an employee of Baumgartner terminated
as a result of the acquisition. The Company did not accrue for this payment in
the financial statements as at December 31, 1999.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated condensed interim financial statements included herein have
been prepared according to accounting principles generally accepted in the
United Kingdom (UK GAAP). These principles differ in certain respects from those
generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP). The significant areas of
difference are shown in note 6.
The financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the US 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 Group
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair
presentation of the information contained herein. It is suggested that these
consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Group's annual report for
the year ended September 30, 1999. The Group follows the same accounting
policies in preparation of interim reports.

B) INCOME TAXES
Under UK GAAP, the Group provides for deferred taxation using the partial
liability method on all timing differences to the extent that it is considered
probable that the liabilities will crystallise in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that they are recoverable
without replacement in the foreseeable future.
Under US GAAP, income taxes are accounted for under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." In
accordance with SFAS No. 109, the liability method is used in accounting for
income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of
assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that
are expected to be in effect when the difference is reversed. The effect on
deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Income before the provision for taxes consisted of the following:

by the ESOT are shown as treasury shares and the dividends and gains or losses

AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF QD GROUP LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements on pages F-136 to F-156 which have
been prepared under the historical cost convention and accounting policies set
out on pages F-140 and F-141.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS
The company's directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial
statements in accordance with applicable United Kingdom law and accounting
standards. Our responsibilities, as independent auditors, are established in the
United Kingdom by statute, the Auditing Practices Board and by our profession's
ethical guidance.
BASIS OF OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards issued by the
United Kingdom Auditing Practices Board, which are substantially consistent with
generally accepted auditing standards in the United States. An audit includes
examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the
significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of
the financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate
to the circumstances of the company and of the group, consistently applied and
adequately disclosed.
We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and
explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with
sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements
are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other
irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall
adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.
OPINION
In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the
state of affairs of the company and of the group as at 30 September 1998 and
1999 and of the group's profits and cash flows for the two years then ended and
have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985.
Certain accounting practices of the Group used in preparing the accompanying
financial statements conform with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United Kingdom, but do not conform with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. A description of these differences and the
adjustments required to conform the financial statements to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States are set forth in note 26.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 1999 AND 30 SEPTEMBER 1998
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies are summarised below:
A) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in
accordance with applicable accounting standards.
B) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated accounts include the accounts of the company and all its
subsidiary undertakings. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of
during the year are included in the consolidated profit and loss account from
the date of their acquisition or up to the date of their disposal. Intra-group
sales and profits are eliminated on consolidation.
C) TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of tangible fixed
assets less their estimated residual values, on a straight line basis, over the
expected useful economic lives of the assets concerned. The principal annual
rates used for this purpose are:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
Motor vehicles.............................................. -- 25%
Computers................................................... -- 33%
Fixtures, fittings and equipment............................ -- 20%
</TABLE>
D) FINANCE AND OPERATING LEASES
Costs in respect of operating leases are charged on a straight line basis
over the lease term. Where fixed assets are financed by leasing agreements,
which transfer to the company substantially all the benefits and risks of
ownership, the assets are treated as if they had been purchased outright and are
included in tangible fixed assets. The capital element of the leasing
commitments is shown as obligations under finance leases. The lease rentals are
treated as consisting of capital and interest elements. The capital element is
applied to reduce the outstanding obligations and the interest element is
charged against profit in proportion to the reducing capital element
outstanding. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter
of the lease term and their useful lives.
E) FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies at the balance sheet
date are translated into sterling at rates of exchange prevailing at the end of
the financial year. Transactions carried out during the year are translated at
the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. The results of
overseas operations are translated at the average rates of exchange during the
year and their balance sheets at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date.
Exchange differences arising on translation of the opening net assets and
results of overseas operations are dealt with through reserves. All other
exchange differences are included in the profit and loss account in the year in
which they arise.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
F) TURNOVER
Turnover, which excludes value added tax and trade discounts, represents the
invoiced value of services supplied. Turnover is recognised at the date the
recruit commences employment, the date instructions for an advertising campaign
have been confirmed, when certain discrete stages of management consultancy
assignments have been completed, when conferences are actually held, or when
publications are issued.
G) DEFERRED TAXATION
Tax deferred or accelerated is accounted for in respect of all material
timing differences to the extent that it is probable that a liability or asset
will crystallise.
H) PENSION SCHEME ARRANGEMENTS
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The fund is
administered by pension fund managers. Pension costs are accounted for on the
basis of charging the profit and loss account with the pension costs payable in
the year. The company provides no other post retirement benefits to its
employees.
I) EMPLOYEE SHARE OWNERSHIP TRUSTS
The company is deemed to have control of the assets, liabilities, income and
costs of The Quarry Dougall Employee Share Ownership Trust (ESOT). The ordinary
shares held by the ESOT are included in fixed asset investments and written down
to the option price over the minimum period of service to which the conditions
attached to the shares relate. No dividends have been waived in respect of these
shares and the dividends receivable are set off against the administrative costs
of running the ESOT.

C) INCOME TAXES
Under UK GAAP, the Group provides for deferred taxation using the partial
liability method on all timing differences to the extent that it is considered
probable that the liabilities will crystallise in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that they are recoverable
without replacement in the foreseeable future.
Under US GAAP, income taxes are accounted for under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." In
accordance with SFAS No. 109, the liability method is used in accounting for
income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of
assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that
are expected to be in effect when the difference is reversed. The effect on
deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognised in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

E) STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
Under UK GAAP, cash flows are presented separately for operating activities,
return on investments and servicing of finance, taxation, capital investment and
financial investments, equity dividends and financing activities. Cash and cash
equivalents represents cash in hand and deposits repayable on demand with any
qualifying financial institution, less overdrafts from any qualifying financial
institution repayable on demand. Deposits are repayable on demand if they can be
withdrawn at any time without notice and without penalty or if a maturity or
period of notice of not more than 24 hours or one working day has been agreed.
Cash includes cash in hand and deposits denominated in foreign currencies.
Liquid resources are current asset investments held as readily disposable stores
of value. A readily disposable investment is one that is disposable by the
reporting entity without curtailing or disrupting its business; and is either
readily convertible into known amounts of cash at or close to its carrying
amount, or traded in an active market.
Under US GAAP, cash flows are reported as operating activities, investing
activities and financing activities. Cash flow from taxation and returns on
investments and servicing of finance would, with the exceptions of dividends
paid, be included in operating activities. The payment of dividends would be
included under financing activities. Cash and cash equivalents represents all
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash
and cash equivalent balances consist of deposits with banks and financial

F) FIXED ASSETS
Under UK GAAP, fixed assets are assessed for impairment when there is some
indication that the carrying value of a fixed asset may exceed its recoverable
amount. Impairment is determined and measured by comparing the carrying value of
the fixed asset with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the
higher of the amounts that can be obtained from selling the fixed asset (net
realisable value) or using the fixed asset (value in use which is normally
determined by reference to discounted cash flows).

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEARS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 1999 AND 30 SEPTEMBER 1998
26 SUMMARY OF RELEVANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN UK AND US GENERALLY ACCEPTED
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)
Under US GAAP, the determination of whether an impairment has occurred is by
reference to undiscounted cash flows. If this indicates an impairment the
writedown is based upon the fair value of the asset which is usually determined
by reference to discounted cash flows. As a result impairment writedowns are
less likely to be recognised under US GAAP.
The Group has not recorded any fixed asset impairments under UK or US GAAP
during the years ended 30 September 1999 and 1998.
G) USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with both US and UK
GAAP 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.
H) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Group to a concentration
of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The
Group performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers and generally does not
require collateral on accounts receivable. The Group maintains allowances for
potential credit losses and such losses have been within management's
expectations. The allowances were L65,000 and L43,726 at 30 September 1999 and
1998 respectively.
The fair market value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and
debt instruments at 30 September 1999 and 1998 approximate their carrying
amounts because of their short maturity.
I) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which
establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative
instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability
measured at its fair value. The statement also requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognised currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges
allows gains and losses on a derivative to offset related results on the hedged
item in the income statement, and requires that a Group formally document,
designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge
accounting. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal
years beginning after 15 June 2000 and cannot be applied retroactively. The
Group does not expect the impact of this new statement on its balance sheet or
income statement to be material.
In March 2000, Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 00-02 "Accounting for
Web Site Development Costs." EITF 00-02 requires that certain costs incurred by
a company in developing its own website be capitalised and that certain other
costs should be expensed as incurred. The Group has not incurred significant
costs in developing its own website.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
reflects financial information with respect to (i) the acquisition effective
January 1, 2000 by TMP Worldwide Inc. and subsidiaries ("TMP" or the "Company")
of all the outstanding stock of Baumgartner & Partner Personalberatung GmbH
("Baumgartner") for a purchase price of approximately $20 million which includes
169,764 TMP shares and $10 million in cash, which is assumed to have been funded
by the issuance of an additional 169,764 TMP shares in a public offering
consummated in February 2000 by TMP and (ii) the probable acquisition by TMP of
all the outstanding stock of QD Group Limited ("QD Group") for a purchase price
of approximately $67.4 million, consisting of approximately $30.2 million in
cash and approximately $37.2 million in TMP stock, estimated to be approximately
476,000 shares of TMP common stock based on a market price of $77.90 per share
on July 17, 2000. Both acquisitions will be accounted for under the purchase
method. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information is
derived from the supplemental consolidated financial statements and the
supplemental consolidated condensed financial statements of TMP included herein
and the audited historical financial statements of Baumgartner and QD Group
included herein.
The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for
the year ended December 31, 1999 gives effect to the acquisition of Baumgartner
and QD Group as if they had occurred on January 1, 1999. The financial
statements of QD Group were translated from British pounds to U.S. dollars at
the rate of 1.60 and 1.63 with respect to the March 2000 and December 1999
statement of operations, respectively. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet for March 31, 2000, assumes that the acquisition of
QD Group occurred as of this date and British pounds were translated to U.S.
dollars at the rate of 1.60. The Baumgartner acquisition occurred prior to
March 31, 2000, and, accordingly is already reflected in TMP's balance sheet.
For purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial statements TMP's
supplemental consolidated condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2000 and the
supplemental consolidated condensed statement of income (loss) for the three
months then ended and the supplemental consolidated statement of income (loss)
for the year ended December 31, 1999 have been combined with the QD Group's
consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2000 and its consolidated statements
of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and for the year ended
September 30, 1999, respectively.
The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information gives
effect to the acquisitions of Baumgartner and QD Group based upon actual
allocation of the purchase price, and includes all adjustments described in the
notes thereto. The pro forma adjustments are based on certain assumptions that
TMP's management believes are reasonable under the circumstances and do not
reflect any potential cost savings. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Information is not necessarily indicative of the results that would
have been reported if such events had occurred on the date specified nor is it
intended to project TMP's results of operations or financial position for any
future period or date. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Information set forth should be read in conjunction with TMP's audited
supplemental consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
1999 and the supplemental consolidated condensed financial statements for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 included herein and the audited financial
statements of Baumgartner as of and for the year ended December 31, 1999 and of
QD Group as of and for the year ended September 30, 1999 included herein.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement;
II-6
<PAGE>
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
the registration statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase
or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement of
any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment 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;
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering;
(4) To file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to
include any financial statements required by Rule 3-19.
(b) 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 foregoing provisions, 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 Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event 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 by such
director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant 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 whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

included the audits of the consolidated financial statement schedule listed in
