Comments to Financial Statements
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 common shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the
third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was determined

Intersegment activity is not significant. Therefore, revenues reported for
each operating segment are substantially all generated from external customers.
The Company's total assets increased approximately $67 million from
December 31, 1999 to September 30, 2000. Approximately $58 million of that
increase was in Technical Services, $18 million was in Corporate and $1 million
was in Todays Staffing. A decrease of $8 million was in Information Technology
Services and $2 million was in Management Recruiters.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company invested $8.5
million related to acquisitions. Of this amount, $5.3 million was invested in an
acquisition initiated during 2000 in which assets acquired totaled $5.0 million,
including goodwill of $4.0 million. The acquisition was accounted for using the
purchase method and did not have a significant effect on results of operations
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000. An additional $3.2
million was invested in an acquisition initiated in a prior year whereby a
portion of the minority interest in the entity was acquired, thereby reducing
minority interests by $1.0 and increasing goodwill by $2.2 million.
During the second quarter of 2000 the Company paid $3.1 million to
partially liquidate its liability from a 1999 acquisition. The Company expects
to pay the remaining $4.3 million of the deferred purchase price to the former
owners by December 31, 2000.
The financial statements included in this report are unaudited and reflect
all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
statement of the results for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of
a normal recurring nature. Results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
These comments contain only the information which is required by Form 10-Q.
Further reference should be made to the disclosures contained in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
---------------------
Consolidated revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000 were $441.6 million (up 7.9% from last year) and $1.30 billion (up 7.8%
from last year), respectively. Consolidated net earnings from continuing
operations, however, declined 15.8% to $11.2 million for the third quarter and
4.3% to $35.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Earnings per
share from continuing operations were $0.59 and $1.88 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to $0.70 and $1.96 in
the same periods last year. The decline in earnings was partially attributable
to the early termination of a high-margin telecommunications contract for a
major telecommunications customer. Following this customer's merger with another
company on June 30, 2000, a reduction in contract staffing requirements occurred
in the third quarter that escalated in September.
The impact of this early termination reduced earnings in telecommunications
operations which declined by approximately $0.05 per share compared to last
year. A portion of the decline is attributable to the cost of the Company's
expansion of its telecommunications division infrastructure.
The Company's operating margins were 4.3% and 4.8% for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, compared to 5.7% and 5.4% for the same periods
last year.
Revenues for the Technical Services operating segment, which includes the
telecommunications operations, were $253.6 million and $758.5 million, in the
three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, up 5.9% and 8.2% over
last year. Operating profits were $7.6 million for the third quarter and $30.4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, down 36.9% and 10.7% from
the comparable 1999 periods. Operating profit margins were 3.0% and 4.0% in the
three and nine-months ended September 30, 2000, compared to 5.0% and 4.8% for
the same periods last year. The loss of the major telecommunications contract
described above primarily drove the earnings and margin decreases, although the
segment was also negatively impacted by results at its Marine division, which
was hurt by continuing delays in government funding for a contract which had
been expected to commence in the first half of 2000. Initial funding for this
contract commenced in October 2000.
Revenues for the Information Technology Services (IT) operating segment
were $91.2 million and $260.2 million for the third quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 2000, up 12.4% and 4.2 % compared to the comparable periods
last year. Operating profits were $4.5 million for the third quarter and $14.5
million for the first nine months of 2000, down 22.5% and 13.3% from the same
periods last year. Operating profit margins were 5.0% and 5.6% in the
three-month and nine-month 2000 periods, down from 7.2% and 6.7% in the
comparable 1999 periods. The lower operating profits reflect continuing
investments this operating segment is making in increased recruiter headcount to
attract and
<PAGE> 10
retain qualified IT personnel as well as investments in additional marketing and
administrative support for its growing outsourcing business. The segment began
to see volume improvements during the third quarter. Revenues had been flat
compared to last year up to that point.
Todays Staffing revenues were $60.1 million and $178.8 million for the
three and nine-months ended September 30, 2000, up 2.8% and 4.8% compared to
last year. Operating profits were $4.0 million and $12.4 million, down 4.4% for
the third quarter but up 10.2% year-to-date over last year. Operating profit
margins were 6.7% in the third quarter and 6.9% in the first nine months of 2000
compared to 7.2% and 6.6% in the same periods last year. The reduction in
operating profit and operating profit margin for the third quarter resulted
primarily from additional recruiting and training costs for staff personnel,
where turnover has been particularly high in a tight labor market. Operating
profit and operating profit margin expanded over 1999 on a year-to-date basis in
part due to cost control over administrative expenses. Revenue growth has slowed
compared to prior quarters also reflecting the tight labor market, as candidate
recruiting and retention have become more difficult.
Management Recruiters International (MRI) third quarter 2000 revenues
increased 21.5% to $36.7 million over last year, while year-to-date revenues of
$102.9 million are up 22.1% over 1999. Operating profits increased 33.3% to $8.6
million in the third quarter compared to last year, and are up 40.7% to $23.5
million year-to-date. Operating profit margins were 23.6% and 22.8% in the three
and nine-months ended September 30, 2000, compared to 21.5% and 19.8% in the
comparable periods of last year. Third quarter and year-to-date operating
profits and margins in 2000 benefited from continuing strong demand for MRI's
services and from the favorable recovery of a disputed contract payment.
Excluding this recovery, operating profit margins would have been 22.2% for the
quarter and 22.4% year-to-date.
Corporate expenses were $5.8 million in the third quarter (up 6.7% over
last year) and $18.1 million year-to-date (up 31.3% over last year). The
moderation in corporate cost increases in the third quarter relates primarily to
the Company's reduction in costs related to the implementation of its SAP/R3
information management system. As previously disclosed in its Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2000, the Company has discontinued further field
implementation of the current version of the R3 system. The Company has
continued the development of certain aspects of the SAP system, such as data
warehousing, but intends to continue to support both the installed elements of
SAP/R3 and its legacy systems. Costs related to the system implementation
totaled approximately $0.12 per share for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 and were principally responsible for the year-to-date increase in corporate
expenses.
Interest expense was $1.4 million and $3.8 million in the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, up from $0.5 million and $1.4 million in
the comparable periods of last year. This increase related principally to higher
debt levels due to continued growth in working capital requirements, capital
expenditures and investments in acquisitions, the most significant of which
occurred during the fourth quarter of 1999. The Company continues to focus on
improving its working capital management, as Days Sales Outstanding (DSOs)
<PAGE> 11
remained constant at 67 days at September 30, 2000 compared to June 30, 2000.
DSOs were 70 days, 65 days and 63 days at March 31, 2000, December 31, 1999 and
September 30, 1999, respectively.
The Company's effective tax rate was 37.9% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to 39.5% for the nine months ended September 30,
1999. The reduction in effective tax rate related principally to state
tax-planning strategies that were initiated in mid year 2000 and a one-time
permanent tax difference available to the Company. The estimated effect of the
state tax planning strategies and one-time permanent difference used as of
September 30, 2000 was greater than that expected as of June 30, 2000, resulting
in an effective tax rate of 35.1% for the third quarter of 2000.
During the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company expects a continuing
negative impact on earnings as a result of the early cancellation of the
telecommunication contract.
In addition, the Company anticipates that it will have a charge against pre
tax fourth quarter earnings of approximately $4.5 million or $0.15 per share, as
a result of a renegotiation with its health insurance provider on rates and
claims payments. The Company also anticipates a fourth quarter charge of
approximately $0.02 per share related to termination agreements with its former
President and Chief Executive officer who resigned in October 2000.
Year 2000
---------
The Company's year 2000 ("Y2K") inventory, assessment and solutions
implementations programs leading up to the year 2000 appear to have been
successful. The Company entered the year 2000 substantially fully Y2K compliant,
and there have been no meaningful interruptions of services within the Company
or with its external constituencies. The Company will continue to monitor its
systems for potential difficulties as part of its normal systems operating
procedures.
Financial Condition
-------------------
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.4 to 1 for both
September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999. The ratio of long-term debt to total
capital (long-term debt plus shareholders' equity) was 19% as of September 30,
2000 and 18% as of December 31, 1999.
The Company's long-term debt at September 30, 2000 was $74.9 million, a
reduction of $1.6 million from June 30, 2000 but an increase of $9.3 million
from December 31, 1999. The Company's Days Sales Outstanding (DSOs)increased
from 65 at December 31, 1999 to 67 at September 30, 2000, although this amount
is a reduction from the peak of 70 days at March 31, 2000 and is equal to DSOs
at June 30, 2000. The increase in working capital required coupled with capital
expenditures of $24.6 million and acquisition spending of $11.6 million are the
primary reasons for the increase in debt from year-end.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company invested $8.5
million related to acquisitions. Of this amount, $5.3 million was invested in an
acquisition initiated during 2000 in which assets acquired totaled $5.0 million,
including goodwill of $4.0 million. The acquisition was accounted for using the
purchase method and did not have a significant effect on results of operations
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000. An additional $3.2
million was invested in an acquisition initiated in a prior year whereby a
portion of the minority interest in the entity was acquired, thereby reducing
minority interests by $1.0 and increasing goodwill by $2.2 million. The Company
expects to pay the remaining $4.3 million of the deferred purchase price to the
former owners by December 31, 2000.
During 2000 the Company extended the term of its existing long-term
revolving credit facility to March 2002 and also negotiated an additional
committed short-term facility of $25 million.
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 (FASB) issued
Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
Statement No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities and is effective for years beginning
after June 15, 2000. The Company will determine the extent to which Statement
No. 133 applies and adopt the standards established as required. Currently, the
Company has no derivative or hedging activities.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin 101-Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 101) in December
1999. SAB 101 will become effective in the fourth quarter of 2000. The Company
does not believe that SAB 101 will have a significant effect on its financial
position or results of operations.
