              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  nine  months  ended  July 31,  1996  are not  necessarily
     indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


2.   Stock Split


     During the second  quarter  ended April 30, 1996,  the Board of  Directors,
     with stockholder approval,  amended the Company's Articles of Incorporation
     to effect a  one-for-five  reverse  split of common stock whereby each five
     shares of common stock were  exchanged for one share of common  stock.  The
     amendment  had no effect on the  number of  authorized  shares  and the par
     value of the  common  stock.  Where  fractional  shares  resulted  from the
     reverse split, the Company issued such additional fraction of a share as is
     necessary to increase the fractional share to a full share.

     All  references in the financial  statements to weighted  average number of
     shares  outstanding,  earnings per share  amounts and stock option data has
     been restated to reflect the reverse split.


3.   Income per Share


     Income per share is based on the weighted  average  number of common shares
     outstanding during the periods stated.


4.   Sale of Common Stock

     On February 5, 1996,  the Company  issued and sold 276,625 shares of common
     stock to Limeport  Investments,  L.L.C. in a Private Placement  transaction
     for $1,000,000 ($3.615 per share). The purchase price was based on a twenty
     percent  discount  to the twenty day  average  closing  price  prior to the
     purchase of the shares. The shares are restricted securities,  however, the
     Company has agreed to register  such shares by filing a shelf  registration
     statement by February 15, 1997.  The President of the Company,  Leon Kopyt,
     has been granted  certain  voting  rights over these shares as long as they
     remain owned by Limeport Investments, L.L.C..

5.   Acquisitions


     During the nine  months  ended July 31,  1996,  the  Company  acquired  two
     businesses in the staffing services industry. These acquisitions, which are
     described below, have been accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the
     results of operations of the acquired  companies  have been included in the
     consolidated  results  of  operations  of the  Company  from  the  date  of
     acquisition.

     On March 11, 1996, the Company  acquired all of the  outstanding  shares of
     The Consortium,  a speciality provider of information technology and health
     care  personnel  servicing  private  sector and  government  clients in the
     greater metropolitan New York region.

     The  consideration  paid  to the  former  shareholders  of  The  Consortium
     consisted of 1.3 million  restricted shares of its common stock,  valued at
     $5,000,000,  (based upon the average closing price of the Company's  common
     stock for the 20 trading days  immediately  preceding  the closing date) in
     exchange for all of the outstanding  capital stock of The  Consortium.  The
     company has agreed to file a shelf  registration  statement by February 15,
     1997,  permitting  the sale of $600,000 in value of  securities  during the
     period April 1997 through  March 1998.  Thereafter,  the remainder of these
     shares are subject to significant  restrictions on resale through March 11,
     1999.  The cost in excess of net assets  acquired of $4,851,500 is included
     in the Company's  Consolidated  Balance Sheet as "Intangible Assets" and is
     being amortized over a 40 year period.

     On May 1, 1996,  the Company  acquired The  Consortium  of  Maryland,  Inc.
     ("Consort MD"), a specialty  provider of information  technology  personnel
     services to major U.S. Corporations in the greater metropolitan Washington,
     D.C. region.  Consort MD was not related or affiliated with The Consortium.
     The acquisition was completed  through a merger  transaction (the "Merger")
     pursuant  to which  Consort  MD was  merged  with and into a  newly-created
     subsidiary of the Company, which then concurrently changed its name to "The
     Consortium of Maryland, Inc."

     The Merger  consideration  paid to the former  shareholder of Consort MD at
     the closing  consisted of $621,500 cash and 34,327 restricted shares of the
     Company's  common stock valued at $377,597  (based upon the average closing
     bid price of the Company's common stock for the 20 trading days immediately
     preceding the closing date).  Additional merger  consideration will be paid
     to the former  shareholder of Consort MD consisting of additional shares of
     stock  and cash  having  a value  equal to the  tangible  net  worth of the
     Consort  MD as of the  Merger  date.  As of the  date of this  report,  the
     tangible net worth has not been  determined.  It is  anticipated  that this
     amount  will be paid by the end of  calendar  year 1996.  The  Company  has
     agreed to file a registration  statement by May 1, 1998 permitting the sale
     of the restricted shares.

5.   Acquisitions - Continued


     The following  unaudited  results of operations have been prepared assuming
     the acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented.
     Those  results  are  not  necessarily   indicative  of  results  of  future
     operations   nor  of  results  that  would  have   occurred  had  the  1996
     acquisitions been consummated as of the beginning of the periods presented.

6.   Shareholder Rights Plan


     On March 14,  1996,  the  Board of  Directors  of the  Company  declared  a
     dividend distribution of one Common Share Purchase Right ("Right") for each
     outstanding  share of common  stock of the  Company.  Each  Right  entitles
     stockholders  to buy one  share of  common  stock at an  exercise  price of
     $3.00.  The Rights will be  exercisable  only if a person or group acquires
     15% or more of the  Company's  common stock or announces a tender offer the
     consummation of which would result in ownership by a person or group of 15%
     or more of the common  stock.  The  Company  will be entitled to redeem the
     rights at one cent per Right at any time  before a 15% or greater  position
     has been acquired.

     The  dividend   distribution  was  made  on  April  1,  1996,   payable  to
     shareholders  of record  at the close of the  business  on that  date.  The
     Rights expire April 1, 2006.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Liquidity and Capital Resources

During  the  nine  months  ended  July  31,  1996,   working  capital  increased
$2,871,000.  This was due primarily to the increased  levels of profitability of
the Company and the private  placement of common stock for  $1,000,000.  At July
31, 1996, the Company had  outstanding  borrowings  under its credit facility of
$1,960,386  as  compared to  $914,435  as of October  31,  1995,  an increase of
$1,045,951. The Company, at July 31, 1996, had $670,303 in long term liabilities
and held  $10,687 in cash  along with  $4,736,000  of loan  availability  on its
$10,000,000 line of credit.

During  the nine  months  ended July 31,  1996,  operating  activities  provided
$824,147 of cash compared to cash  provided by operating  activities of $798,501
during the  equivalent  period in 1995.  The  increase of $25,646 was  primarily
attributable to increased levels of profitability, depreciation and amortization
which were  offset by an  increase  in  accounts  receivable  and a decrease  in
accounts  payable during that period  compared to the nine months ended July 31,
1995.

Cash used for investing  activities totaled $1,363,183 for the nine months ended
July 31, 1996  compared to $72,880  during the  equivalent  period in 1995.  The
increase  was  primarily  attributable  to cash  payments for  acquisitions  and
related intangible assets.

Cash  provided by  financing  activities  was $252,173 for the nine months ended
July 31, 1996 compared to a use of cash of $64,094 during the equivalent  period
in 1995. The increase was attributable to the private  placement of common stock
for $1,000,000 and the proceeds from short term borrowings.

On May 29, 1996,  the Company and its  subsidiaries  entered into an amended and
restated loan agreement with Mellon Bank,  N.A. for providing a credit  facility
in the maximum amount of  $10,000,000.  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 the Company.  The
credit  facility  requires  the  subsidiaries  and the  Company to meet  certain
objectives  with  respect to  financial  ratios and  earnings.  Credit  facility
advances are to be used to meet cash flow  requirements  for the subsidiaries as
well as operating  expenses for the  Company.  The Company  believes its present
credit  facility  will  sufficiently  support  its  operations  and those of its
subsidiaries.

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 8.25% and
8.75% at July 31, 1996 and October 31, 1995, respectively).

The business  strategy is to achieve growth both internally  through  operations
and  externally  through  strategic  acquisitions.  The Company's  liquidity and
capital resources may be affected in the future as the Company continues to grow
through   implementation  of  this  strategy  which  may  involve   acquisitions
facilitated through the use of cash and or debt and equity securities.

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


Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

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 present  obligations  incurred in the normal  course of business  for at the
next twelve months.

During the third quarter,  the Company received a request for contribution in an
unspecified amount from the purchaser of a property in 1977 on which the Company
had previously  conducted the storage and handling of certain aluminum  recovery
materials.  The  purchaser  has  suggested  that  based  upon  an  order  by the
California  Regional  Water Quality  Control Board,  the Company's  handling and
storage  of certain  materials  on the site prior to and after the sale may have
contributed to environmental contamination of the ground water on and around the
site. Any such contamination was discovered years after the sale.

Based  upon the  results  of a  preliminary  examination  of the  matter,  which
includes an environmental  survey of the property conducted prior to the time of
the sale,  the  Company  believes  that the site in question  complied  with all
environmental  rules  and  regulations  at the  time of the  sale  and  that any
contamination was likely caused by the operation of the purchaser thereafter.

The Company continues to examine this matter. Until full evaluation is completed
any possible significance of this matter cannot be determined.

Results of Operations
 Nine Months Ended July 31, 1996 Compared to July 31, 1995

Summary.  Revenues, gross profit, operating income and net income of the Company
for the 1996 period  increased $23 million  (128%),  $4.9 million  (152%),  $1.4
million  (242.5%),  and $1.0 million (173%),  respectively,  compared with 1995.
These improvements were primarily due to revenue growth through  acquisitions of
Cataract,  Inc.  (August 30, 1995) and The  Consortium  (March 11, 1996) and The
Consortium of Maryland, Inc. (May 1, 1996).

Corporate  level  expenses  (included with selling,  general and  administrative
expense)  relating  to  salaries  and  benefits  of  personnel  responsible  for
corporate  activities,  including its acquisition program and certain marketing,
administrative and reporting  responsibilities  were 2.6% of revenues in 1996 as
compared to 4.7% of revenues in 1995. This was a 44.7% decrease.

Results of  operations  for the nine months ended July 31, 1996  reflected a net
income of $1,573,536  ($.38 per share) as compared to $576,455  ($.19 per share)
for the nine months ended July 31, 1995.  Net income has been  calculated  after
taking  into  account  the  effect  of the  available  net  operating  loss  tax
carryforward (NOL). Without giving effect to the NOL, the Company's earnings per
share, on a fully taxed basis,  for the nine months ended July 31, 1996 and 1995
would have been $.24 and $.12,  respectively.  The Company at July 31, 1996, had
available  approximately  $1,250,000  of net  operating  losses to offset future
federal taxable income.

Cost of services  increased by $18.1  million to $32.9 million or 122.3% for the
nine months  ended July 31, 1996  compared to $14.8  million for the nine months
ended July 31, 1995. This increase resulted from increased sales in 1996.

            Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)


Results of Operations (Continued)
 Nine Months Ended July 31, 1996 Compared to July 31, 1995

Gross  profit  increased  by 4.9  million to 8.1  million,  or 152% for the nine
months  ended July 31, 1996  compared to the nine  months  ended July 31,  1995.
Gross profit as a percentage  of revenues was 19.7% for 1996 and 17.8% for 1995.
The increased gross profit  percentages  resulted from the valued - added nature
of the services rendered.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased 3.4 million to 5.9
million or 14.4% of revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 1996 as compared
to 14.1% of revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 1995. The increased SG&A
was principally attributable to the aforementioned acquisitions. The increase in
SG&A expenses  primarily  related to the acquisitions and internal growth of the
operating  companies  post  acquisition.  The increase in SG&A as  percentage of
revenues  (.3%) resulted from one time charges  incurred in connection  with the
reverse stock split and the implementation of a shareholder rights plan.

Depreciation  and  amortization  increased  by $136,515 to $233,586 for the nine
months ended July 31,  1996,  compared to $97,071 for the nine months ended July
31, 1995.  This  increase was  attributable  to the  amortization  of intangible
assets incurred with  acquisitions.  Intangible  assets  consisted  primarily of
goodwill and are being amortized over a forty (40) year life.

Income tax expense  increased  by $135,637 to $210,790 for the nine months ended
July 31, 1996, compared to $75,153 for the nine months ended July 31, 1995. This
increase was attributable to the higher level of profitability for 1996.

Interest expense increased by $88,879 to $107,690 for the nine months ended July
31,  1996,  compared to $18,811 for the nine months  ended July 31,  1995.  This
increase was  attributable  to funds  required for  acquisitions  as well as the
refinancing of acquired  companies  working capital debt to more favorable terms
and conditions available under the Company's line of credit facility.

Interest income and other consisted  principally of interest income for the nine
months ended July 31, 1995. Interest income declined to $-0- for the nine months
ended July 31, 1996.  This decline  resulted from the increased  working capital
requirements necessary to support $11,269,000 of accounts receivable at July 31,
1996.

Results of Operations
 Three Months Ended July 31, 1996 compared to July 31, 1995

Summary.  Revenues, gross profit, operating income and net income of the Company
for the 1996 period increased $12.4 million (246.5%), $2.9 million (324.8%), $.8
million (1360.4%), and $.6 million (882.5%),  respectively,  compared with 1995.
These improvements were primarily due to revenue growth through  acquisitions of
Cataract,  Inc.  (August 30, 1995) and The  Consortium  (March 11, 1996) and The
Consortium of Maryland, Inc. (May 1, 1996).

Corporate  level  expenses  (included with selling,  general and  administrative
expense)  relating  to  salaries  and  benefits  of  personnel  responsible  for
corporate  activities,  including its acquisition program and certain marketing,
administrative and reporting  responsibilities  were 2.1% of revenues in 1996 as
compared to 4.8% of revenues in 1995. This was a 57.1% decrease.

Results of Operations (Continued)
Three Months Ended July 31, 1996 Compared to July 31, 1995

Results of operations  for the three months ended July 31, 1996  reflected a net
income of $684,937  ($.14 per share) as compared to $69,716 ($.02 per share) for
the three  months  ended July 31,  1995.  Net income has been  calculated  after
taking  into  account  the  effect  of the  available  net  operating  loss  tax
carryforward (NOL). Without giving effect to the NOL, the Company's earnings per
share, on a fully taxed basis, for the three months ended July 31, 1996 and 1995
would have been $.09 and $.02, respectively.

Cost of services  increased by $9.5  million to $13.6  million or 229.5% for the
three  months  ended July 31, 1996  compared to 4.1 million for the three months
ended July 31, 1995. This increase resulted from increased sales in 1996.

Gross profit increased by $2.9 million to $3.8 million,  or 324.8% for the three
months  ended July 31, 1996  compared to $.8 million for the three  months ended
July 31, 1995.  Gross profit as a percentage  of revenues was 21.9% for 1996 and
17.8% for 1995. The increased gross profit percentages resulted from the value -
added nature of the services rendered.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses (SG&A) increased $2.0 million to
$2.8 million or 16.3% of revenues for the three months ended July 31, 1996.  The
increased SG&A was principally attributable to the aforementioned  acquisitions.
The increased SG&A as a percentage of revenues (1996-16.3%; 1995-16.0%) resulted
from the higher  marketing and recruiting  costs associated with the Information
Technology (IT) sector.

Depreciation  and  amortization  increased  by $66,863 to $101,116 for the three
months ended July 31, 1996,  compared to $34,253 for the three months ended July
31, 1995.  This  increase was  attributable  to the  amortization  of intangible
assets incurred with acquisitions.

Interest expense increased by $51,282 to $56,601 for the three months ended July
31, 1996,  compared to $5,319 for the three  months  ended July 31,  1995.  This
increase was  attributable  to funds  required for  acquisitions  as well as the
refinancing  of  acquired  companies  working  capital  and  term  debt  to more
favorable  terms and  conditions  available  under the Company's  line of credit
facility.

Interest income and other consisted principally of interest income for the three
months  ended July 31,  1995.  Interest  income  declined  to $-0- for the three
months ended July 31, 1996.  This decline  resulted from the  increased  working
capital requirements  necessary to support $11,269,000 of accounts receivable at
July 31, 1996.

Income tax expense  increased  by $80,703 to $101,613 for the three months ended
July 31,  1996,  compared to $20,910 for the three  months  ended July 31, 1995.
This increase was attributable to the higher level of profitability for 1996.

                                OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         Other than as reported in Part I, Item 3 - "Legal  Proceedings"  of the
         Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  October  31,
         1995,  there have been no material  developments  to any of the matters
         that require reporting under this Item.


Item 5.  Cautionary  Statement  for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" of the Private
         Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

     When  used in this  Quarterly  Report  on Form  10-Q  and in  other  public
statements  by the  Company  and  Company  officers,  the words  "may,"  "will,"
"expect," "anticipate," "continue," "estimate," "project," "intend," and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements regarding events
and financial trends which may affect the Company's future operating results and
financial position.  Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that
could  cause the  Company's  actual  results  and  financial  position to differ
materially.  Such factors  include,  among others:  (i) the  sensitivity  of the
Company's  business to unemployment and general economic  conditions  associated
with the placement of temporary staffing; (ii) the Company's ability to continue
to attract, train and retain personnel who possess skills in the areas necessary
to meet the staffing requirements of its clients; (iii) the Company's ability to
identify   appropriate   acquisition   candidates,   complete   acquisitions  on
satisfactory  terms,  or  successfully  integrate  acquired  businesses,   which
acquisitions  may  involve  special  risks,   including  risks  associated  with
unanticipated problems,  liabilities and contingencies,  diversion of management
attention and possible  adverse  effects on earnings  resulting  from  increased
goodwill amortization,  increased interests costs and the issuance of additional
securities; (iv) the potential adverse effect a decrease in the trading price of
the  Company's  Common Stock would have upon the  Company's  ability to continue
acquisitions  of  businesses  through  the  issuance of its  securities  and the
dilutive  effect of such  issuances on the Company,  and upon the  likelihood of
conversion of outstanding  options,  warrants and other convertible  securities;
(v) the  Company's  ability to obtain  financing on  satisfactory  terms and the
degree  to which  the  company  is  leveraged,  including  the  extent  to which
currently  outstanding  options,  warrants and other convertible  securities are
exercised;  (vi) the reliance of the Company upon the  continued  service of its
executive  officers;  (vii)  the  Company's  ability  to remain  competitive  in
national,  regional and local markets in an industry which is highly competitive
with limited  barriers to entry,  including  remaining  competitive  in light of
pricing issues which could  adversely  affect earnings and the operations of the
Company; (viii) the Company's ability to retain several of its key clients which
account for a significant  portion of the Company's  revenue,  which a loss or a
material  reduction  in the revenue  generated  from such  clients  could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business; (ix) the Company's ability to
maintain  at  a  minimum  its  unemployment   insurance   premiums  and  workers
compensation  which it provides  for its  temporary  employees;  (x) the risk of
claims   associated    providing   temporary   staffing   services,    including
discrimination and harassment, violation of wage and hourly requirements, misuse
of client  proprietary  information,  misappropriation  of funds, other criminal
activity or tort and other similar claims;  (xi) the Company's ability to store,
retrieve,   process  and  manage   significant   amounts  of  information,   and
periodically expand and upgrade its information processing  capabilities;  (xii)
the Company's  ability to remain in compliance  with numerous  federal and state
wage and hour laws and regulations;  and (xiii) other economic,  competitive and
governmental factors affecting the Company's  operations,  market,  products and
services.
