                     RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   General

     The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements have been prepared by
     the Company  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities and
     Exchange  Commission  (SEC).  This  Report on Form  10-Q  should be read in
     conjunction  with the  Company's  annual  report  on Form 10-K for the year
     ended October 31, 1995. Certain information and footnote  disclosures which
     are normally included in financial  statements  prepared in accordance with
     generally  accepted  accounting  principles  have been condensed or omitted
     pursuant to SEC rules and regulations.  The information reflects all normal
     and  recurring  adjustments  which,  in  the  opinion  of  Management,  are
     necessary for a fair presentation of the financial  position of the Company
     and its results of operations for the interim periods set forth herein. The
     results for the three  months  ended  January 31, 1996 are not  necessarily
     indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.   Pending Acquisition


     On March 1, 1996, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement ("the
     Agreement")  with The  Consortium  Inc.  ("Consortium"),  a  privately-held
     provider  of  information  technology  and health care  personnel  based in
     Fairfield,  NJ. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 of Consortium
     were over $26 million. The Agreement contemplates the acquisition of all of
     the  outstanding  shares of  Consortium in exchange for the issuance of 6.5
     million  shares of the  Company's  common  stock to the  former  Consortium
     shareholders.

     Closing of the transaction,  while  anticipated for March 11,1996,  remains
     contingent  upon,  among  other  things,  satisfactory  completion  of  due
     diligence review and the securing of certain approvals.

                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations



Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the three months ended January 31, 1996,  working capital  increased
     $498,645.  This was due primarily to the increased  levels of profitability
     of the Company. At January 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding borrowings
     under its credit facility of $424,639 as compared to $914,435 as of October
     31, 1995, a decrease of $489,796.  The Company,  at January 31, 1996 had no
     long term debt and held  $127,704  of cash  along with  $3,240,246  of loan
     availability on its $6,000,000 line of credit.
 
     On August 31, 1995,  the  Company's,  Intertec  Design,  Inc. and Cataract,
     Inc.,  subsidiaries  entered into an agreement  with Mellon Bank,  N.A. for
     providing  a credit  facility  in the  maximum  amount of  $6,000,000.  The
     agreement  expires on June 30, 1998. The credit facility is  collateralized
     by accounts  receivable,  contract  rights and  furniture and fixtures with
     unlimited  guarantees  from RCM  Technologies,  Inc. The loan requires both
     Intertec Design, Inc., Cataract,  Inc., and RCM Technologies,  Inc. to meet
     certain  objectives with respect to financial  ratios and earnings.  Credit
     facility  advances  are to be used  to  meet  cash  flow  requirements  for
     Intertec Design, Inc., and Cataract, Inc. as well as operating expenses for
     RCM Technologies,  Inc. Advances to RCM Technologies, Inc. in excess of its
     operating expenses must have prior bank approval.  The Company believes its
     present  credit  facility  will  sufficiently  support  the  operations  of
     Intertec Design, Inc., Cataract, Inc., and RCM Technologies, Inc.
 
     Borrowing under the credit facility is based on 85% of accounts  receivable
     on  which  not  more  than  ninety  days  have  elapsed  since  the date of
     invoicing.  The  interest  rate  charged  is the  prime  rate  of the  Bank
     (effective  rate of 8.50% and 8.75% at January  31,  1996 and  October  31,
     1995, respectively).

     The Company's liquidity and capital resources may be effected in the future
     as  the  Company  continues  to  grow  through  an  aggressive  acquisition
     strategy.  Towards that end, on March 1, 1996,  the Company  entered into a
     stock  purchase  agreement  (the  "Agreement")  with The  Consortium,  Inc.
     ("Consortium"),  a  privately-held  provider of information  technology and
     health care personnel  based in Fairfield,  NJ. Revenues for the year ended
     December  31,  1995 of  Consortium  were over $26  million.  The  Agreement
     contemplates the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Consortium
     in exchange for the issuance of 6.5 million shares of the Company's  common
     stock to the  former  Consortium  shareholders.  As part of the  Consortium
     acquisition,   the   Company   will  be  required  at  closing  to  satisfy
     Consortium's  bank  indebtedness of approximately  $1,300,000.  The Company
     anticipates  the  use of its  existing  line  of  credit  to  satisfy  this
     indebtedness.

     Subject to the discussions noted above, the Company does not currently have
     material  commitments  for  capital  expenditures  and does not  anticipate
     entering  into any such  commitments  during the next  twelve  months.  The
     Company continues to evaluate  acquisitions of various businesses which are
     complementary to its current operations.  The Company's current commitments
     consist  primarily  of lease  obligations  for office  space.  The  Company
     believes that its capital  resources are sufficient to meet its obligations
     incurred  in the normal  course of  business  for at least the next  twelve
     months.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
            Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)



Results of Operations

     As a result of the  acquisition  of Cataract,  Inc. on August 30, 1995, the
     Company continues to increase its profitability.  This has been achieved by
     the elimination of duplicate operating costs of the combined companies, the
     spreading of the Company's  fixed  expenses over a larger  revenue base, as
     well as management's ability to control expenses during a period of revenue
     growth.

     Results of operations  reflected a net income of $501,863  ($.03 per share)
     in 1996 as  compared  to $229,015  ($.02 per share) in 1995.  The  improved
     profitability was a 119.1% improvement over the 1995 results.

     The Company's net sales increased by $3,088,751 to $9,776,507, or 46.1% for
     the three months ended  January 31, 1996 compared to the three months ended
     January  31,  1995.  This  resulted  principally  from the  acquisition  of
     Cataract, Inc.

     Cost of services  increased by $2,443,484  to  $7,985507,  or 44.1% for the
     three  months  ended  January 31, 1996  compared to the three  months ended
     January 31, 1995. This resulted from the increased level of sales.

     Gross profit  increased by $640,267 to  $1,790,629,  or 55.7% for the three
     months ended  January 31, 1996  compared to the three months ended  January
     31, 1995.  Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 18.32% for 1996 and
     17.2% for 1995. The increased gross profit  resulted from additional  sales
     as well as improved pricing margins.

     Selling,  general and administrative  expenses (SG&A) increased $260,161 to
     $1,144,116,  or 11.7% of revenues for the three  months  ended  January 31,
     1996  compared to $883,955 or 13.2% of revenues  for the three months ended
     January 31, 1995. The increased SG&A was  principally  attributable  to the
     operations  of  Cataract,  Inc.  The  decline  in SG&A as a  percentage  of
     revenues was attributable to continuing  implementation  of Company efforts
     to  increase  operational  efficiencies  and the  ability  to spread  fixed
     administrative expenses over a larger revenue base.

     Depreciation and amortization increased by $26,405 to $54,970 for the three
     months  ended  January 31,  1996,  compared to $28,565 for the three months
     ended January 31, 1995. This increase was  attributable to the amortization
     of intangible assets incurred with the Cataract, Inc. acquisition.

     Interest expense increased by $18,752 to $24,901 for the three months ended
     January 31, 1996, compared to $6,149 for the three months ended January 31,
     1995.  This increase was  attributable to additional  borrowings  under the
     Company's line of credit facility.

     Income tax expense  increased  by $31,499 to $58,749  for the three  months
     ended  January 31,  1996,  compared to $27,250 for the three  months  ended
     January 31, 1995.  This  increase was  attributable  to the higher level of
     profitability for 1996.

     Should the acquisition of Consortium  occur as  contemplated,  revenues are
     likely to  reflect  significant  increases  commencing  during  the  second
     quarter,  with greater impact being  experienced  during the third quarter.
     While  management is  optimistic  that this  transaction  is also likely to
     enhance profitability through anticipated operational  efficiencies and the
     spreading of fixed  expenses  over a larger  revenue base, no assurances to
     this effect can be  provided  pending a further  analysis  of  Consortium's
     independent  profitability and  opportunities for operational  efficiencies
     and synergies.

                           transfer or disposition does not violate
                           the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
                           the rules and regulations thereunder."

     (a) The Company shall prepare and file, not later than February 15, 1997, a
Registration  Statement with the SEC under and in compliance with the Securities

<PAGE>

     (b) The Company's obligation in Subparagraph 2(a) above extends only to the
use of the Company's best efforts to register such Restricted  Stock pursuant to
a  Registration  Statement.  The Company  shall  indemnify and hold harmless the

from the SEC.

     3. Registration Procedures. The Company will use its best efforts to:

Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be
necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the period specified
in  Subparagraph  3(a) above and as comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act with respect to the  disposition  of all  Restricted  Stock  covered by such
Registration  Statement  in  accordance  with the  sellers'  intended  method of
disposition set forth in such Registration Statement for such period;

     (c) furnish to each seller and to each underwriter such number of copies of

offering, the managing underwriter shall reasonably request; provided,  however,
that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally
to transact  business as a foreign  corporation in any jurisdiction  where it is
not so  qualified  or to  consent  to  general  service  of  process in any such
jurisdiction;

     (e) immediately  notify each seller under such  Registration  Statement and
each underwriter,  at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to

of which the prospectus  contained in such  Registration  Statement,  as then in
effect,  includes an untrue  statement of a material  fact or omits to state any
material  fact  required or necessary to be stated  therein in order to make the
statements  contained there in not misleading in light of the circumstances then
existing;
<PAGE>


     (f)  make  available  for  inspection  by  each  seller,   any  underwriter
participating in any disposition  pursuant to such Registration  Statement,  and
any  attorney,  accountant  or  other  agent  retained  by any  such  seller  or
underwriter,  all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
properties  of the Company,  and cause the  Company's  officers,  directors  and
employees  to supply all  information  reasonably  requested by any such seller,
underwriter,  attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such Registration
Statement;

     (g) For  purposes  of  Subparagraphs  3(a) and 3(b)  above,  the  period of
distribution  of  Restricted  Stock  shall be deemed  to extend  until (A) in an
underwritten public offering, each underwriter has completed the distribution of
all securities purchased by it; and (B) in any other registration, all shares of
Restricted Stock covered thereby shall have been sold; and

     (h) if the Common Stock of the Company is listed on any securities exchange
or automated  quotation  system,  the Company shall use its best efforts to list
(with  the  listing  application  being  made at the time of the  filing of such
Registration  Statement or as soon thereafter as is reasonably  practicable) the
Restricted  Stock  covered by such  Registration  Statement on such  exchange or
automated quotation system.

         4.       Expenses.

     (a)  For the  purposes  of  this  Paragraph  (4),  the  term  "Registration
Expenses"  shall mean:  all expenses  incurred by the Company in complying  with
paragraph (2) of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration

independent  public  accountants for the Company (other than the expenses of any
special  audit  as  described  below),  fees  of  the  National  Association  of
Securities  Dealers,  Inc.  ("NASD"),  fees and  expenses  of listing  shares of
Restricted  Stock on any securities  exchange or automated  quotation  system on

registrars.  The term "Selling Expenses" shall mean: all underwriting  discounts
and selling  commissions  applicable  to the sale of Restricted  Stock,  and all
accountable or non-  accountable  expenses paid to any underwriter in respect of
the sale of Restricted Stock.

     (b) The Company will pay all  Registration  Expenses in connection with the
Registration  Statement filed pursuant to paragraph (2) of this  Agreement.  All
Selling Expenses in connection with any Registration Statement filed pursuant to
paragraph (2) of this Agreement shall be borne by the  participating  sellers in
such Registration  Statement in proportion to the number of shares sold by each,
or by such  persons  other than the  Company  (except to the extent the  Company
shall be a seller) as they may agree.

         5.       Obligations of Holder.

     (a) Holders  shall notify the Company in writing at least three (3) Trading
Days prior to the resale of shares of  Restricted  Stock during the first thirty
(30) days  following the date of the  prospectus  pursuant to which such resales
are to be effectuated  and at least five (5) trading days prior to the resale of
shares of Restricted Stock when such resales occur more than thirty (30) Trading

<PAGE>

     (b) In connection with each registration hereunder, the Holder will furnish
to the Company in writing  such  information  with respect to the Holder and the
securities held by the Holder,  and the proposed  distribution by it as shall be
reasonably  requested by the Company in order to assure  compliance with federal
and applicable state securities laws, as a condition  precedent to including the
Holder's Restricted Stock in the Registration  Statement.  The Holder also shall
agree to promptly notify the Company of any changes in such information included
in the  Registration  Statement or  prospectus  as a result of which there is an
untrue  statement  of material  fact or an omission to state any  material  fact
required  or  necessary  to be stated  therein  in order to make the  statements
contained there in not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.

     (c) In connection with each registration  pursuant to paragraph (2) of this
Agreement,  the Holder  will not effect  sales  thereof  until  notified  by the
Company of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,  and thereafter will
suspend  such sales  after  receipt of  telegraphic  or written  notice from the
Company  to  suspend  sales  to  permit  the  Company  to  correct  or  update a
Registration Statement or prospectus.  At the end of any period during which the
Company is obligated to keep a Registration  Statement current, the Holder shall
discontinue sales of shares pursuant to such Registration Statement upon receipt
of notice from the Company of its  intention  to remove  from  registration  the
shares  covered by such  Registration  Statement  which remain  unsold,  and the
Holder shall notify the Company of the number of shares  registered which remain
unsold immediately upon receipt of such notice from the Company.

         6.       Sales Blackout Period.

     (a)  At any  time  when  a  Registration  Statement  effected  pursuant  to
Paragraph 2 relating to Restricted Stock is effective,  upon written notice from
the Company to the Holder that the  Company  has  determined  in good faith that
sale of Restricted  Stock pursuant to the  registration  statement would require
disclosure  of non-public  material  information  not  otherwise  required to be
disclosed under applicable law having material adverse effect on the Company (an
"Information  Blackout"),  the Holder shall suspend  sales of  Restricted  Stock
pursuant to such Registration Statement until the earlier of:

     (i) thirty (30) days after the Company  notifies  Holder of such good faith
determination, and

     (ii)  such time as the  Company  notifies  the  Holder  that such  material
information  has been  disclosed  to the public or has ceased to be  material or
that sales pursuant to such Registration Statement may otherwise be resumed (the
number of days from such  suspension  of sales by the Holders until the day when
such sale may be  resumed  hereunder  is  hereinafter  called a "Sales  Blackout
Period").

     (b)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained  herein,  (i) the
Company shall not initiate two (2) consecutive Sales Blackout Periods based upon
substantially the same set of facts and circumstances, and (ii) the total number
of days in multiple Sales  Blackout  Periods shall not exceed sixty (60) days in
any twelve-month period.

         7.       Indemnification; Contribution.

     (a)  Indemnification  by the Company.  The Company  agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless Holder, its members, managers and agents, and any broker-dealer or
underwriter selling Restricted Stock pursuant to any Registration Statement from
and  against any and all  losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities  and  expenses
(including  reasonable  attorneys' fees and reasonable  costs of  investigation)
arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or prospectus or related
document, registration,  notification or filing relating to the Restricted Stock
or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary  prospectus,  or
arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the statements
therein  not  misleading,  except  insofar  as  such  losses,  claims,  damages,
liabilities  or  expenses  arise  out of,  or are based  upon,  any such  untrue
statement  or  omission  (or  allegation   with  respect   thereto)  based  upon
information  furnished to the Company by Holder or on Holder's behalf  expressly
for use therein.

     (b) Conduct of  Indemnification  Proceedings.  If any action or  proceeding
(including any governmental  investigation) shall be brought or asserted against
Holder which is  indemnified  pursuant to  subparagraph  7(a), the Company (with
counsel reasonably  acceptable to Holder) shall assume the defense thereof,  and
shall assume the payment of all expenses.  Holder shall have the right to employ
separate  counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense  thereof,
but the fees and  expenses  of such  counsel  shall be at the  expense of Holder
unless the Company has agreed to pay such fees and expenses. Except as expressly
provided  above,  in the event that the Company  shall not assume the defense of
any such action or  proceeding  within a reasonable  period of time,  Holder may
take such action in  connection  therewith as it deems  necessary or  desirable,
including  retention of counsel,  and the Company shall  thereafter be liable to
Holder  pursuant to this Agreement for any legal or other expenses  subsequently
incurred by it in investigating,  preparing for or defending against such action
or  proceeding.  The Company shall not be liable for any  settlement of any such
action or proceeding  effected  without the  Company's  written  consent  (which
consent shall not be  unreasonably  withheld),  but, if settled with its written
consent or if there be a final  judgment for the plaintiff in any such action or
proceeding,  the Company  agrees to indemnify and hold harmless  Holder from and
against any loss or  liability  (to the extent  stated  above) by reason of such
settlement or judgment.  The Company will not consent to any settlement,  or the
entry  of  judgment  pursuant  thereto,   (i)  which  does  not  include  as  an
unconditional  term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to Holder of
a written  release from all  liability in respect of such claim or litigation in
form reasonably satisfactory to Holder, and (ii) which has not been consented to
in writing by Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
 
     (c) Indemnification by Holder. Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company,  its directors  and officers and each person,  if any, who controls
the Company  within the meaning of either  Section 15 of the  Securities  Act or
Section 20 of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended (the  "Exchange
Act"), to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to Holder,
but only with  respect to (i)  information  furnished  by Holder or on  Holder's
behalf expressly for use in any Registration Statement or prospectus relating to
the Restricted Stock, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary
prospectus,  and (ii) the actions or omissions of its broker- dealer(s). In case
any action or proceeding  shall be brought  against the Company or its directors
or officers,  or any such controlling  person, in respect to which indemnity may
be sought against  Holder,  Holder shall have the rights and duties given to the
Company,  and the Company or its  directors  or  officers,  or such  controlling
person,  shall  have the rights and  duties  given to Holder,  by the  preceding
subparagraph 7(b).

     (d) Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in subparagraph 7(a)
is  unavailable  to the  Company  or Holder in respect  of any  losses,  claims,
damages,   liabilities  or  judgments   referred  to  herein,   then  each  such
indemnifying  party,  in lieu of  indemnifying  such  indemnified  party,  shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such  indemnified  party as a result
of such  losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities  or  judgments  as between  the
Company,  on the one hand, and Holder,  on the other,  in such  proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative  fault of the Company,  on the one hand, and
Holder,  on the other, in connection  with the statements,  actions or omissions
which resulted in such losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities or judgments,  as
well as any other relevant equitable  considerations.  The relative fault of the
Company,  on the one hand,  and Holder,  on the other,  shall be  determined  by
reference  to among  other  things,  (i)  whether  the untrue or alleged  untrue
statement of a material fact relates to  information  supplied by the Company or
by Holder,  or (ii) whether the omission or alleged  omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not  misleading  was the  responsibility  of the Company or Holder,  and
(iii)  the  parties'  relative  intent,  knowledge,  access to  information  and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
     The Company  and Holder  agree that it would not be just and  equitable  if
contribution pursuant to this subparagraph 7(d) were determined by any method of
allocation  which  does not  take  into  account  the  equitable  considerations
referred to in the immediately  preceding paragraph.  The amount paid or payable
by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages,  liabilities
or judgments referred to in the immediately  preceding paragraph shall be deemed
to include,  subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees
or expenses  reasonably  incurred by such  indemnified  party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action, suit, proceeding or claim. No person
guilty of fraudulent  misrepresentation  (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities  Act) shall be entitled to  contribution  from any person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

         8.       Miscellaneous Provisions.

     (a)  Governing  Law. This  Agreement  shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.

     (b)   Counterparts.   This  Agreement  may  be  signed  in  any  number  of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

     (c)  Amendments  and Waivers.  Except as  otherwise  provided  herein,  the
provisions of this Agreement may not be amended,  modified or supplemented,  and
waivers or consents to departures  from the  provisions  hereof may not be given
without the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
