PART III--NARRATIVE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K and Form 10-KSB,
20-F, 11-K, 10-Q and Form 10-QSB, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion
thereof could not be filed within the prescribed period. (Attached extra sheets
if needed.)
The Registrant is unable to timely file its quarterly report on Form 10Q for the
three months ended May 31, 2000 without unreasonable effort or expense as a
result of a spin-off of a subsidiary (Tender Loving Care Health Services, Inc.).
Accordingly, the additional time is requested to compile all information
necessary to accurately complete this Form 10Q within the time period permitted
by Rule 12b-25 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or section 30 of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no,

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or
portion thereof?
X Yes [ ] No
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both naratively
and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
estimate of the results cannot be made.
A significant change in results of operations for Staff Builders, Inc. will be
reported as compared to the corresponding period for the last fiscal year due to
the spin-off of Staff Builders, Inc.'s home health care business. The
supplemental staffing business will remain with Staff Builders, Inc.
Accordingly, the results of operations for the home health care business will be
reported in a separate filing on Form 10Q for "Tender Loving Care Health Care
Services, Inc." ("TLCS"). TLC filed a Registration Statement on Form 10, which
registered the shares of TLC to be issued in the spin-off. As a result of this
spin-off, the Registrant will reflect a change in the reporting entity and
restate the comparable prior period (s) to exclude the home health care business
for the current and comparable periods ended May 31, 2000 and May 31, 1999.
