Board of Trustees
   Computer Horizons Corp. Employee Savings Plan


We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of net assets  available for plan
benefits of Computer  Horizons  Corp.  Employee  Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related  statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the  responsibility  of the  Plan's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of  December  31,  1996 and 1995 and  changes in net assets  available  for plan
benefits  for the years  then  ended,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole. The fund information in the statement of
changes in net assets  available  for plan benefits is presented for purposes of
additional  analysis rather than to present the changes in net assets  available
for plan benefits of each fund. The fund  information  has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion,  is fairly  stated in all  material  respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                           December 31, 1996 and 1995



NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     The following  description of Computer Horizons Corp. Employee Savings Plan
     (the "Plan") provides only general  information.  Participants should refer
     to  the  Plan  Agreement  for a more  complete  description  of the  Plan's
     provisions.

     General

     The Plan is a defined contribution  employee  profit-sharing plan, covering
     all eligible employees.

     The Plan was established effective April 1, 1983, and amended as of January
     1, 1984 and May 31,  1989,  to be a  qualified  profit  sharing  plan under
     Internal  Revenue Code Section  401(a),  with a qualified  cash or deferred
     arrangement under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k).

     The Plan was further  amended  and  restated  effective  January 1, 1990 to
     comply  with  the  requirements  of the  Tax  Reform  Act of  1986  and all
     applicable  Federal  laws  subsequently  enacted and  relating  thereto.  A
     favorable  determination  letter dated September 1995 was received from the
     Internal Revenue Service.

     Contributions

     Participants may elect to make pretax  contributions in accordance with the
     provisions of the Plan. The Plan's  sponsor,  Computer  Horizons Corp. (the
     "Company"),  matches  participants' pretax contributions in accordance with
     the provisions of the January 1, 1990 Plan Agreement.

     Participant Accounts and Vesting

     Separate accounts are maintained for each  participant's  contributions and
     earnings  thereon.  The participant may direct that the account be invested
     in one or more Funds  permitted by the Plan (Note C). Upon  termination  of
     employment,  a  participant  is entitled to 100% of the value of his Salary
     Deferral account balance (pretax  contributions of three to fifteen percent
     of compensation not to exceed maximum as specified in agreement), Voluntary
     Post Tax account balance  (post-tax  contributions of one to ten percent of
     compensation)  and  Rollover  Account  balance  (participants'   qualifying
     rollover  distributions),  plus a specified  percentage  of their  Employer
     Matching  account  balance   (participants'   share  of  employer  matching
     contributions)  based upon the vesting  provisions  of the Plan (25% vested
     after three years of service, 50% vested after four years of service,  100%
     vested after five years of service). Forfeitures resulting from application
     of the vesting  provisions  are  maintained  separately by the Plan and are
     used to pay plan expenses.

                           December 31, 1996 and 1995



NOTE A (continued)


     Withdrawals and Distributions Upon
         Termination of Employment

     Upon  termination of employment  for any reason,  a  participant's  account
     balance or periodic payments thereof will be distributed to the participant
     or  designated  beneficiary,  at their option.  However,  if the value of a
     participant's  account is greater than $3,500,  the  participant's  account
     will not be  distributed  before his normal  retirement  date  without  the
     written election of the  participant.  A participant may modify an election
     thereafter.

     Loans to Participants

     The Plan provides for loans to  participants  to a maximum of the lesser of
     (1) $50,000 or (2) 50% of the participant's  account balance. The loans are
     payable  over a maximum of five years  unless the loan is used to acquire a
     principal  residence,  in which case the maximum term is fifteen years with
     interest as specified in the Plan.

     Termination

     Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company reserves the
     right to  terminate  the Plan at any time.  Termination  of the Plan  shall
     result in discontinuance  of all future Plan  contributions and in full and
     immediate  vesting for each  participant  of the entire amount  standing to
     their  credit;  there  shall not be any  forfeitures  with  respect  to any
     participant for any reason.

     Administrative Expense

     All administrative expenses,  charged by the Plan's Custodian, are borne by
     the Plan.

     Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

     In preparing  financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
     accounting  principles,  management  is  required  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,  as well as the  reported  amounts of  revenues  and
     expenses  during the  reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ from
     those estimates.

     Reclassifications

     Certain   1995  items  have  been   reclassified   to  conform   with  1996
     classifications.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The  financial  statements  of the Plan have been  prepared  on the accrual
     basis of  accounting  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
     principles as applied to profit  sharing  plans and in accordance  with the
     terms of the trust  agreement.  The assets of the Plan are valued at quoted
     market value,  except for the  Guaranteed  Fund which is valued at contract
     value,  which  approximates  fair  value.  The Plan is  subject  to certain
     provisions  of  the  Employee   Retirement  Income  Security  Act  of  1974
     ("ERISA").


NOTE C - INVESTMENT OF FUNDS

     All  contributions  are  remitted  to  the  respective  fund  managers  and
     invested,  at the election of the  participant,  in one or a combination of
     funds.  The funds  available to  participants  from  Merrill  Lynch are the
     Guaranteed Fund, various mutual stock funds and the Computer Horizons Corp.
     Common  Stock  Fund.  The  following  is a brief  description  of the funds
     available.

     Guaranteed Fund

     The Guaranteed  Fund is intended to provide fixed income with minimal risk.
     Contributions   to  the  Guaranteed  Fund  are  invested   primarily  under
     guaranteed  investment  contracts or contracts  with one or more  insurance
     companies  guaranteeing  an annual  effective  interest  rate for specified
     periods. The guaranteed  investment contracts are included in the financial
     statements at contract value, which approximates fair value, as reported to
     the Plan by the  insurance  companies.  The amounts  remitted to  insurance
     companies  for  guaranteed  income  contracts  become  the  assets of those
     companies,  which,  in turn,  assume an  obligation to fulfill the contract
     terms.  The ultimate  ability to repay  principal and interest is dependent
     upon the financial stability of the insurance companies.

     Guaranteed investment contracts at December 31 consist of the following:

   Computer Horizons Corp. Employee Savings Plan


Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental  schedule of assets held
for investment  purposes and schedule of reportable  transactions  are presented
for the purpose of additional  analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial   statements  but  are  supplementary   information  required  by  the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental  schedules
have been  subjected  to the  auditing  procedures  applied in the audits of the
basic  financial  statements  and,  in our  opinion,  are  fairly  stated in all
material  respects  in  relation to the basic  financial  statements  taken as a
whole.

The  schedule  of  assets  held for  investment  purposes  and the  schedule  of
reportable  transactions  that accompany the Plan's financial  statements do not
disclose the historical  cost of plan assets held by the Plan's  Custodians,  as
such costs are not provided by the Custodians. Disclosure of this information is
required by the  Department of Labor's Rules and  Regulations  for Reporting and
