RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or
expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the
following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate.)
(a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form
[X] could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
(b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on
Form 10-K, 10-KSB, Form 20-F, 11-K, Form N-SAR, or portion thereof
[X] will be filed on or before the 15th calendar day following the
prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition

before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
(c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c)

PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 10-KSB, 11-K,
20-F, 10-Q, 10-QSB, N-SAR or the transition report or portion thereof, could not
be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
The Registrant is unable to timely file its quarterly report on Form 10Q for the
nine months ended November 30, 1999 without unreasonable effort or expense as a
result of a relocation of its corporate headquarters from Atlanta to New York in
December 1999, a sale of its subsidiary (Chelsea Computer Consultants) and a
spin-off of another subsidiary (Tender Loving Care Health Care Services Inc.)
Accordingly, the additional time is requested to compile all information
necessary to accurately complete its Form 10Q. As a result, the Registrant is
filing this notification and will file its 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 reports) been filed? If answer is no,
identify report(s).
[X] Yes [ ] 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 narratively
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." ("TLC"). 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 prior periods ended November 30, 1999 and
November 30, 1998.
