     Earnings used to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per
share are the reported earnings in the Company's consolidated statement
of earnings.  Because of the Company's capital structure, all reported
earnings pertain to common shareholders and no other assumed adjustments
are necessary.  The number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted
earnings per share for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999 and 1998
was determined as follows:

     Intersegment activity is not significant.  Therefore, revenues
reported for each operating segment is substantially all from external
customers.

     The Company's total assets increased approximately $36 million from
December 31, 1998 to March 31, 1999.  Approximately $13 million 
of that increase was in Information Technology Services and $15 million
was in Technical Services.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company completed
acquisitions in which it invested $9,403,000.  These acquisitions were
accounted for using the purchase method.  Assets acquired totaled
approximately $10 million including $6 million of goodwill.  These
acquisitions did not have a significant effect on the results of
operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, there were 20,000 shares
of common stock issued upon the exercise of stock options granted under
the Company's Non-Qualified Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights
Plan.  As a result of the option exercises, common stock and additional
paid-in capital were increased by $2,000 and $310,000, respectively.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, 3,612 shares of restricted
common stock issued in 1997 vested and 3,803 shares related to
performance-based vesting did not vest and were forfeited.  The vesting
of the shares resulted in additional paid-in capital decreasing by
$10,000 because of income tax effects related to the vesting.  The
forfeited shares were put in treasury increasing treasury stock by
$87,000 and decreasing unamortized value of restricted stock issued by
the same amount.  Also during the quarter, additional paid-in capital
and unamortized value of restricted stock issued were each increased by
$70,000 for market price changes related to the shares that will vest
based upon performance.  In addition, unamortized value of restricted
stock issued was decreased by $87,000 for charges to earnings associated
with the amortization of the value of the restricted shares.

     As of March 31, 1999, the loss reserve that had been established
for the discontinued operations remained substantially unchanged from
December 31, 1998.  Net assets of the discontinued operations as of 
March 31, 1999 were comprised of working capital and deferred income
taxes.

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

                        Results of Operations
                        ---------------------

     Consolidated revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999
advanced 3% over the first quarter of 1998.  Operating profit margin was
5.2% of revenues for the first quarter of 1999 vs. 4.7% for the first
quarter of 1998.

     Information Technology Services' revenues for the first quarter
ended March 31, 1999 increased 12% over the first quarter of 1998. 
Operating profit margin for the first quarter of 1999 was 6.7% of
revenues vs. 6.2% for the first quarter of 1998.  In 1998 the Company
reorganized the Information Technology Services and Technical Services
business units to create a discrete operating unit for Information
Technology Services to focus on a more diverse customer base and to
increase sales of its value-added project and functional outsourcing. 
This reorganization is enabling Information Technology Services to focus
on new and higher margin opportunities.

     Technical Services' revenues for the first quarter ended March 31,
1999 was essentially flat compared to the first quarter of 1998. 
Operating profit margin for the first quarter of 1999 was 4.9% of
revenues vs. 3.9% for the first quarter of 1998.  Margins improved in
1999 due to a better mix of business consistent with Technical Services 
focus on the development of business having higher margins.

     Management Recruiters' revenues for the first quarter ended March
31, 1999 declined 3% from the first quarter of 1998.  Operating profit
margin for the first quarter of 1999 was 17.1% of revenues vs. 19.4% for
the first quarter of 1998.  The first quarter of 1999 started very
slowly in part attributable to Management Recruiters having completed
several large search contracts in 1998 which were not replaced.  

<PAGE>
                                                                      9


While the revenue decline was 3% first quarter vs. first quarter, the
reduction compared to third and fourth quarters of 1998 was more
significant.  The fixed support costs introduced into the segment as it
grew during 1998 adversely impacted operating results in the first
quarter when revenues fell off.  Management Recruiters' first quarter
1999 results include $393,000 in after-tax operating profit related to
the settlement of a dispute with a franchisee.

     Todays Staffing revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999
increased 5% over the first quarter of 1998.  Operating profit margin
for the first quarter of 1999 was 6.1% of revenues vs. 5.1% for the
first quarter of 1998.  Todays Staffing benefitted from continuing
demand for its services, from its targeted geographic expansion into
major metropolitan areas and from increasing its higher margin legal and
financial staffing business.

     As of March 31, 1999 the loss reserve that had been established for
the discontinued operations remained substantially unchanged from
December 31, 1998.  Negotiations to settle a disputed receivable that is
fully reserved are continuing and may result in some recovery.

                              Year 2000
                              ---------

     Many existing computer systems use two digits to identify a year
with the assumption that the first two digits of a year are "19."  With
the year 2000 approaching, computer systems that are not Year 2000
compliant will read the year 2000 as 1900 and malfunction.  The
Company's program to assess the extent of issues related to Year 2000
compliance and to develop and implement solutions for those issues is
being directed by senior management with the Company's Chief Information
Officer having primary responsibility for the coordination, remediation
and implementation efforts.  Designated personnel at the Company's
headquarters and at each of the Company's operating locations have been
assigned Year 2000 compliance responsibilities.

     The program is focused on internal information technology systems,
computer-aided design systems, non-IT systems (purchased systems with
embedded logic chips), facilities and the status of compliance by larger
customers, suppliers and other key third parties.  The program involves
the following phases:

          Inventory
          Assessment and planning
          Remediation or replacement and testing
          Implementation

     The internal IT systems compliance issues are most critical and
relate to the Company's financial systems, computer networks and
communications systems and personnel recruiting and human resource
systems.  Corporate level personnel have responsibility to insure that
these systems will be Year 2000 compliant as well as determining the
status of compliance by larger customers, suppliers and other key third
parties.  
<PAGE>
                                                                     10


     Year 2000 compliance related to internal financial systems is being
addressed in two ways.  First, the Company is replacing its primary
financial system with a state-of-the-art integrated enterprise-wide
system.  The new system will provide enhanced processing, control and
reporting capabilities.  The new system, currently in pilot, will be
Year 2000 compliant and is expected to be fully operational in the
fourth quarter, 1999.  Second, the existing primary system and other
satellite systems are being evaluated for Year 2000 compliance and
required remediation, testing and implementation are underway.  These
efforts are scheduled to be concluded by mid-1999.

     A Company-wide expansion and upgrade of its computer networks and
communications systems has been underway since mid-1997.  The roll out
and implementation of the new platform, which is Year 2000 compliant, is
scheduled to be completed in the second quarter, 1999.

     Personnel recruiting and human resource systems are being replaced 
by new systems which were developed prior to the end of 1997.  These new
systems are Year 2000 compliant and are in the process of being
installed in the operating locations.  The roll-out is scheduled to be
completed during the second quarter, 1999 in the U.S. and Canada and
during the third quarter, 1999 overseas.

     With respect to larger customers, suppliers and other key third
parties, questionnaire surveys have been distributed for use in
assessing their state of compliance in order to develop plans in case of
non-compliance.  Customers with whom there is electronic interchange of
data are of primary focus to ensure that both the Company and those
customers are Year 2000 compliant with the standards established for
such interchange.

     The approximate status for each of these areas follows:

     The responsibility for identifying, assessing compliance issues and
then implementing solutions for computer-aided design systems, 
non-IT systems, facilities and the status of compliance by local
suppliers and third parties rests primarily with each operating office. 
Solutions for Year 2000 issues related to computer-aided design systems,
non-IT systems and facilities will, of necessity, come from vendors and
others providing the related services.  The Company, however, needs to
identify compliance issues and insure that remediation or replacement is
accomplished.  With respect to local suppliers and third parties, the
Company has also distributed questionnaire surveys in order to assess
their state of compliance in order to develop plans in case of non-
compliance.  The identification and assessment process is well underway
with the expectation that solutions will be in place by second quarter,
1999.

     The cost of the Company's Year 2000 program is expected to be
approximately $2 million, all of which will be charged against
operations.  This amount does not include costs associated with the new
financial system or the new personnel recruiting and human resource
systems described above.  These systems already were scheduled for
implementation and their implementation was not accelerated because of
Year 2000 issues.  As of March 31, 1999 approximately $1.7 million has
been spent on the Year 2000 program, most of which relates to the
remediation effort associated with the existing financial systems. 
Expenditures through March 31, 1999 on the new financial system and the
new personnel recruiting and human resource systems were $15.5 million. 
It is anticipated that an additional $3 million will be invested in
these new systems during the remainder of 1999.

     The Company believes that its program to address Year 2000
compliance is on schedule for completion before the end of 1999.  
However, there can be no assurance that there will be no material 
impact as a result of Year 2000 issues, particularly considering the
dependence and interdependence that exists with third parties and that  
resources for remediation and replacement may not be available in the
time frame required.  Since the Company has a greater level of control
over implementing solutions to Year 2000 issues relating to its internal
systems, it is more likely that adverse impacts on the Company could
originate with third parties rather than with the Company's 
<PAGE>
                                                                     12


inability to have its internal systems Year 2000 compliant.  If issues
related to internal systems or those related to third parties are not
resolved before the end of 1999, the consequences to the Company would
be material.

     The Company has not developed a most reasonably likely worst case
Year 2000 scenario.  The Company will determine the extent to which
contingency plans are required by mid-1999. 

                         Financial Condition
                         -------------------

     The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.2 to 1 
as of March 31, 1999 compared to 2.3 to 1 as of December 31, 1998.  
The ratio of long-term debt to total capital (long-term debt plus
shareholders' equity) was 13% as of March 31, 1999 and December 31,
1998. 

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company completed
acquisitions in which it invested $9,403,000.  These acquisitions 
were accounted for using the purchase method.  Assets acquired totaled
approximately $10 million including $6 million of goodwill.  These
acquisitions did not have a significant effect on the results of
operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

     The Company believes that capital resources available from
operations and financing arrangements are adequate to support the
Company s businesses.

                       New Accounting Standards
                       ------------------------

     In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities.  Statement No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting
