     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, 1997. 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, 1998 are not  necessarily
     indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.   Acquisition

     On January 5, 1998, the Company purchased Northern Technical Services, Inc.
     ("NTS"),   a  privately-held,   provider  of  technical   professional  and
     information  technology  personnel.  The purchase price was $3,125,000 plus
     $1,500,000  of  contingent   consideration  payable  over  two  years.  The
     agreement   provides  for  additional   purchase   consideration  upon  the
     attainment  of certain  earnings  targets at the end of each  twelve  month
     period  following the closing,  for a period of two years.  Any  additional
     consideration paid will be recorded as additional purchase price.  Revenues
     for the year ended  November 30, 1997,  provided by the  management of NTS,
     were $12.6 million.

     On  February   27,   1998,   the   Company   purchased   Staffworks,   Inc.
     ("Staffworks"),  a privately-held,  provider of technical  professional and
     information  technology  personnel.  The purchase price was $3,000,000 plus
     $2,000,000  of  contingent  consideration  payable  over three  years.  The
     agreement   provides  for  additional   purchase   consideration  upon  the
     attainment  of certain  earnings  targets at the end of each  twelve  month
     period  following the closing,  for a period of three years. Any additional
     consideration paid will be recorded as additional  purchase price.  Current
     annualized   revenues   provided  by  the  management  of  Staffworks,   is
     approximately $12.0 million.

     The following  unaudited  results of operations have been prepared assuming
     that all  acquisitions  which  have  occurred  since  November  1, 1996 had
     occurred at 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  acquisitions  been  consummated  as of the
     beginning of the periods presented.

4.   Interest Expense

       Interest expense for the three months ended January 31, 1998 and 1997 was
       $55,114 and $90,189, respectively.

5.   Reclassification

       Certain items in the 1997 Statement of Income have been  reclassified  to
       conform to 1998 financial statement presentation.

6.   New Accounting Standard

       On November 1, 1997,  the Company  adopted the provisions of Statement of
       Financial  Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128).
       SFAS 128  eliminates  primary and fully  diluted  earnings  per share and
       requires  presentation  of  basic  and  diluted  earnings  per  share  in
       conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such
       earnings per share.  Basic  earnings per share  excludes  dilution and is
       computed by  dividing  income  available  to common  shareholders  by the
       weighted-average  common shares  outstanding  during the period.  Diluted
       earnings per share takes into account the  potential  dilution that could
       occur  if  securities  or other  contracts  to issue  common  stock  were
       exercised and  converted  into common  stock.  Prior period  earnings per
       share  calculations  have been  restated to reflect the  adoption of SFAS
       128.

                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Safe Harbor Statement

When  used  in  or  incorporated  by  reference  into  this  Report,  the  words
"estimate,"  "project,"  "intend," "expect" 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. Certain of
these  factors  have been  identified  within  the  Company's  various  Reports,
Registration Statements and other filings previously made with the SEC.


Overview

The  Company  provides  contract  and  temporary  personnel  in the  information
technology,  professional  engineering and technical,  specialty  healthcare and
general  support  sectors of the  staffing  industry  to a  diversified  base of
national, regional and local customers.

The  Company's  business  and  strategy  have  changed  dramatically  since  its
inception in 1971. From 1992 through 1994, current  management  repositioned its
core  staffing  business  to  improve  profitability  and to take  advantage  of
consolidating  market dynamics.  Significant revenue growth began in Fiscal 1995
as the Company implemented a growth strategy that since then has resulted in the
acquisition of twelve businesses in the staffing  industry.  These  acquisitions
shifted the Company's business toward the higher margin  information  technology
and specialty healthcare sectors.  During this time, the Company also elected to
discontinue  providing  certain lower margin general support  services.  General
support  services,   which  from  Fiscal  1992  to  Fiscal  1994  accounted  for
approximately 51.0% of the Company's revenues,  decreased as a percentage of the
Company's  revenues to 14.7%  during the three  months  ended  January 31, 1998.
Correspondingly,  revenues from the Company's  specialty  professional  services
accounted  for 85.3% of the  Company's  revenues  during the three  months ended
January 31, 1998. Prior to implementation of its growth strategy, in Fiscal 1994
the Company's  revenues and operating  income for the three months ended January
31, 1994, were $6.8 million and $216,000,  respectively.  The Company's revenues
and  operating  income for the three months ended  January 31, 1998,  were $37.2
million and $3.1  million,  respectively.  On a pro forma  basis,  after  giving
effect to the acquisitions that occurred during Fiscal 1997 and the three months
ended  January 31,  1998,  as if they had  occurred  on  November  1, 1997,  the
Company's  revenues and operating  income would have  increased to $39.4 million
and $1.8 million, respectively.

The Company  realizes  revenues  from the  placement of contract  and  temporary
staffing  personnel.  Revenues are  recognized  when the services are  provided.
Principally  all of these  services  are  provided to the customer on a time and
material  basis at hourly rates that are  established  for each of the Company's
staffing  personnel,  based upon their skill level,  experience and type of work
performed. In some instances,  the Company derives revenues on a fixed fee basis
in connection with consulting  projects.  In view of the  diversification of the
Company's service offerings, and by drawing upon the skills developed within the
Company's engineering and technical group, management intends to develop project
management  skills  within  its  information  technology  and other  groups  and
believes  that an  additional  percentage  of its business may be derived in the
future from larger-scale consulting projects.

Costs of services,  which entail the principal cost associated with  operations,
consist  primarily of salaries and  compensation  related  expenses for billable
staffing  personnel,   including  payroll  taxes,  employee  benefits,  worker's
compensation and other insurance.  Principally all of the billable personnel are
treated by the Company as  employees,  although a small  segment of  information
technology personnel are treated as independent contractors. Selling, general

and  administrative  expenses  consist  primarily  of salaries  and  benefits of
personnel  responsible for operating  activities and include corporate  overhead
expenses.  Corporate  overhead  expenses  relate to  salaries  and  benefits  of
personnel  responsible  for  corporate   activities,   including  the  Company's
acquisition  program  and  corporate  marketing,  administrative  and  reporting
responsibilities. The Company records these expenses when incurred. Depreciation
relates  primarily  to the fixed  assets of the  Company.  Amortization  relates
principally  to the goodwill  resulting from the Company's  acquisitions.  These
acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for
financial  reporting  purposes  and have  created  goodwill  estimated  at $30.4
million which is being  amortized over a 40 year period  currently  resulting in
amortization expense aggregating approximately $762,000 annually.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating  activities  provided $2.8 million and $1.1 million of cash during the
three  months  ended  January  31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The change was
primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable which was partially
offset by increased levels of  profitability,  income taxes payable and withheld
payroll taxes and depreciation and amortization associated with the acquisitions
that were  completed  during  Fiscal 1997 and the three months ended January 31,
1998.

Investing  activities utilized $3.7 million and $5.2 million in the three months
ended January 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. During three months ended January
31, 1998, the Company  purchased one staffing  company which required the use of
$3.1 million in cash.  During three months ended  January 31, 1997,  the Company
purchased one staffing company which required the use of $4.5 million in cash.

Financing  activities  provided $554,000 and $4.2 million for three months ended
January 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company has historically funded its
capital  requirements with cash generated from operations and advances under its
outstanding  credit facility.  On June 13, 1997, the Company  completed a public
offering of 2,875,000  shares of Common Stock, of which,  2,698,187  shares were
offered  and sold by the Company  and  176,813  shares  were  offered by certain
selling stockholders ("the Public Offering"). The Public Offering was undertaken
pursuant to the terms of a Registration  Statement on Form S-1 originally  filed
with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  on March  21,  1997 and a final
Prospectus  dated June 10, 1997.  The net proceeds to the Company after offering
costs was  $23,271,723.  The  Company at January  31,  1998,  had  approximately
$557,000 million in cash and approximately $12.7 million in loan availability on
its revolving  line of credit.  The net offering  proceeds  through  January 31,
1998, have been used to retire bank debt and fund acquisitions  (requiring $15.6
million).  On February  25,  1998,  the Company  completed  the  acquisition  of
Staffworks,  Inc. which required the use of $3.1 million of loan availability on
its revolving line of credit.

On December 19, 1996, the Company and its  subsidiaries  entered into an amended
and  restated  loan  agreement  with Mellon Bank,  N.A.  for  providing a credit
facility of up to $20.0 million (the "Revolving  Credit Facility") which expires
on June 30, 1999. The Revolving  Credit Facility is  collateralized  by accounts
receivable,  contract rights and furniture and fixtures  together with unlimited
guarantees from the Company.  The Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company
and its subsidiaries to meet certain  financial  objectives and maintain certain
financial  covenants  with respect to net income,  effective net worth,  working
capital,   senior   indebtedness   to  effective  net  worth   ratios,   capital
expenditures, current assets to current liabilities ratios, consolidated working
capital and  consolidated  tangible net worth.  At January 31, 1998, the Company
and its subsidiaries were in compliance with all financial  covenants  contained
within the Revolving Credit Facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - (Continued)

Borrowings  under the Revolving Credit Facility are to be used to meet cash flow
requirements for the subsidiaries as well as operating expenses for the Company.
Borrowings  under the Revolving  Credit  Facility bear interest at the Company's
option,  at LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) or the bank's prime rate, plus
applicable margin.

The Company  anticipates that its primary uses of capital in future periods will
be for  acquisitions and the funding of increases in accounts  receivables.  The
Company has fully  utilized the net proceeds made  available  through the Public
Offering. Accordingly, funding for further acquisitions will be derived from the
Revolving  Credit  Facility,  funds  generated  through  operations,  or  future
financing transactions.

The Company's  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.

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  and  those to be  incurred  in the  normal  course of
business for the next twelve months.

The Company may derive up to  approximately  $2.3  million of proceeds  from the
issuance of up to  approximately  157,000  shares of Common Stock that may occur
upon the exercise of all of its outstanding Class C Warrants.  At March 5, 1998,
there were  562,584  Class C  Warrants  outstanding.  The Class C Warrants  were
issued in a public  offering  undertaken by the Company  during 1989,  and after
several extensions,  are scheduled to expire on April 30, 1998. As adjusted by a
subsequent  recapitalization of the Company,  each five Class C Warrants entitle
the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.00.
As of March 5, 1998, the Company had received  $672,000 from the exercise of the
Class C Warrants.

</TABLE>


REVENUES. Revenues increased 76.0%, or $16.1 million, for the three months ended
January 31, 1998 as compared to the comparable  prior year period.  The increase
was due to the acquisition of five companies  during Fiscal 1997 and one company
during the three  months  ended  January  31,  1998 along with  strong  internal
growth.  The pro forma internal growth rate (as if all acquisitions  occurred as
of November 1, 1996) for the three months ended January 31, 1998 was 27.7%.

COST OF SERVICES.  Cost of services  increased 75.0%, or $12.0 million,  for the
three months  ended  January 31, 1998 as compared to the  equivalent  prior year
period.  This increase was primarily due to increased  salaries and compensation
associated with the increased revenues  experienced during this period.  Cost of
services as a  percentage  of revenues  decreased  to 75.4% for the three months
ended  January 31, 1998 from 75.9% for the  comparable  prior year period.  This
decline was  primarily due to a greater  percentage  of the  Company's  revenues
being derived from specialty staffing services.

SELLING,  GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE.   Selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses  increased  60.3%, or $2.2 million,  for the three months ended January
31, 1998 as compared to the comparable prior year period. This increase resulted
from the change in the mix of the business during the three months ended January
31, 1998, which required higher marketing,  sales, recruiting and administrative
expenses  than  the  comparable   prior  year  period.   Selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses as a percentage of revenues  decreased to 15.6% for the
three  months  ended  January 31, 1998 from 17.1% in the  comparable  prior year
period,  primarily attributable to the sharing of administrative overhead over a
larger revenue base.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization  increased 111.8%,
or  $133,000,  for the three  months  ended  January 31, 1998 as compared to the
comparable   prior  year  period.   This  increase  was  primarily  due  to  the
amortization of intangible  assets incurred in connection with the  acquisitions
that occurred after the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

Three Months Ended January 31, 1998 Compared to 
     Three Months Ended January 31, 1997 - (Continued)

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET OF INTEREST INCOME. Actual interest expense of $55,000 for
three months ended January 31, 1998, was partially offset by $16,000 of interest
income,  that was earned from the investment in interest bearing deposits of the
net proceeds of the Company's  recent public  offering,  after the retirement of
bank debt. Interest expense decreased 38.9%, or $35,100,  for three months ended
January 31, 1998 as compared to the comparable prior year period.  This decrease
was due to the decreased  borrowings  necessary to provide the funds for working
capital.

INCOME TAX.  Income tax expense  increased  159.7%,  or $781,000,  for the three
months ended January 31, 1998 as compared to the  comparable  prior year period.
This  increase  was due to  increased  levels of income and an  increase  in the
effective  tax rate from 38.5% to 41.7%.  The increase in the effective tax rate
was primarily due to the non deductibility of goodwill amortization.
