                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

               For the Quarters Ended September 27, 1995 and 1994


         The  information  furnished  reflects  all  adjustments  which,  in the
opinion  of the  Company,  are  necessary  to present  fairly  its  consolidated
financial  position and the results of its  operations  and changes in financial
position for the periods indicated.

         Reference is made to the Company's annual financial  statements for the
year ended  December 3l, l994,  for a description  of the  accounting  policies,
which have been continued without change. Also refer to the footnotes with those
annual statements for additional details of the Company's  financial  condition,
results of  operations  and changes in cash flows.  Except for the common  stock
split described  below,  the details in those notes have not changed except as a
result of normal transactions in the interim.

         On April 25, 1995, the Company  declared a  three-for-two  common stock
split in the form of a 50% stock  distribution  to shareholders of record on May
9, 1995,  payable on May 30, 1995. An amount equal to the $0.10 par value of the
common shares  distributed  was transferred  from additional  paid-in capital to
common stock.

         On June 7, 1995, the Company sold 1,140,000  shares of its common stock
in a public offering, realizing net proceeds of approximately $13,300,000.

         On October 19, 1995, the Company  entered into an agreement to pay $2.5
million in full settlement of the final  contingency  consideration  relating to
the  acquisition of Unified Systems  Solutions,  Inc. $1.0 million was paid with
the signing of the agreement, an additional $1.0 million is scheduled to be paid
in April 1996, with the final $0.5 million payable in April 1997.

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

               For the Quarters Ended September 27, 1995 and 1994


         Revenues for both the third quarter and nine months ended September 27,
1995  increased 32% in comparison to the same periods in 1994.  This increase is
attributable to continued growth in the professional  staffing  business,  along
with accelerating demand in the solutions business.

         As a  percentage  of  revenues,  direct  costs  improved  for the third
quarter of 1995  (69.4% vs.  71.2%)  and for the nine  month  period  (70.5% vs.
71.0%)  when  compared to 1994.  The Company is  committed  to  maintaining  and
improving  gross  margins  through cost control and  providing  more value added
services.

         Selling,  administrative  and  general  expenses  have also  moved in a
favorable  direction in 1995.  As a percent of revenues,  they were 21.2% in the
third quarter of 1995, in comparison to 21.5% in 1994. For the nine month period
ended September 27, 1995, SG&A costs were 21.2% vs. 21.7% in 1994. This decrease
is attributable to tighter cost controls and higher consolidated revenues during
each period.

         Other  income/expense  improved in the third quarter and the first nine
months of 1995,  primarily  due to our  equity in the  operating  results of our
newly formed Birla  Horizons joint  venture,  as well as to additional  interest
income received relating to the funds provided by the public offering.

         Income before  income taxes for the third quarter of 1995  increased by
82%  ($4,937,000  vs.  $2,707,000)  when  compared to last year,  while  pre-tax
margins  increased to 9.6% from 6.9%.  For the nine month period,  income before
income taxes was up 59% ($11,845,000 vs.  $7,431,000) with margins increasing to
8.2% from 6.8%.  These margin  improvements are primarily the result of improved
direct cost margin percentages,  lower SG&A expense as a percent of revenue, and
an improvement in other income/expense.

         The  effective  tax rate for Federal,  state and local income taxes was
43.2% and 43.8% for the three and nine months ended September 27, 1995, compared
to 44.8% and 45.3% for the comparable 1994 periods. After accounting for non-tax
benefited  charges  such  as  goodwill   amortization  and  certain  travel  and
entertainment  deduction  limitations,  the Company's  standard  income tax rate
approximates 42%.

         Net income  increased by 88% ($2,804,000 vs.  $1,493,000) for the third
quarter and 64% ($6,651,000 vs.  $4,066,000) for the nine months ended September
27, 1995.

         Earnings per share  increased  63% for the third  quarter of 1995 ($.26
vs. $.16) and 53% for the nine months ($.66 vs. $.43).  Each  period's  earnings
per share have been restated to reflect the 50% stock  distribution  declared by
the Company on April 25, 1995 (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
<PAGE>
         As of September 27, 1995,  the Company had a current ratio  position of
3.6 to 1, a cash position of $9.5 million and available lines of credit of $25.0
million.  On June 7, 1995, the Company sold 1,140,000 shares of its common stock
in a public  offering  generating  approximately  $13.3  million in cash.  These
proceeds  were used to repay  outstanding  indebtedness  and provide the Company
with additional working capital.

         The Company continuously reviews its future cash requirements, together
with its available lines of credit and internally  generated  funds. The Company
believes  it  will  meet  all  working  capital  obligations  and  fund  further
development of its business for at least the next 12 months.
