INTRODUCTORY NOTE

This amendment on Form 10-Q/A amends the registrant's Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q filed by Staff Builders, Inc. (the "Company") on January 19, 2000 and is
being filed to amend Item 1 and Item 2 to reflect the restatement of the
Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet, Results of Operations, Statement of Cash
Flows, Notes to the financial statements, and Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The Company amended
the presentation regarding the September 1999 sale of Chelsea Computer
Consultants ("Chelsea"), and its results of operations to separately report
Chelsea as discontinued operations. This required the Company to reallocate
certain assets, liabilities, and expenses to discontinued operations which
impacted the operating results of both continuing and discontinued operations as
well as the loss on sale of discontinued operations.

STAFF BUILDERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
($ IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT WHERE NOTED)

1.       SPIN-OFF TRANSACTION AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -The Company separated
         its home health care business from its existing medical staffing
         business during October 1999. To accomplish this separation of its
         businesses, the Company's Board of Directors established a new,
         wholly-owned subsidiary, Tender Loving Care Health Care Services, Inc.
         ("TLCS"), which acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the
         Company's subsidiaries engaged in the home health care business (the
         "Spin-Off"). The Spin-Off was effected through a pro rata distribution
         to the Company's stockholders of all the shares of common stock of TLCS
         owned by the Company ("the Distribution"). The Distribution was made by
         issuing one share of TLCS common stock for every two shares of the
         Company's Class A and Class B common stock outstanding on October 12,
         1999 ("the Record Date"). Based upon the 23,619,388 shares of the
         Company's common stock which was outstanding on the Record Date,
         11,809,694 shares of TLCS common stock was distributed to holders of
         the Company's Class A and Class B common stock on or about October 20,
         1999. The medical staffing business remained with the Company.

         On October 13, 1999, the Company received notice from the Securities
         and Exchange Commission that its Registration Statement on Form 10
         relating to the Spin-Off was cleared from further comments. Further on
         October 20, 1999, the Company received consent from its current lending
         institution to complete the Spin-Off. Because TLCS owned a majority of
         the operations, employees and assets of the historical business of the
         Company, the Distribution was treated as a "reverse spin-off" for
         financial reporting purposes under generally accepted accounting
         principles. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements
         contained in this quarterly report have been restated from those
         previously reported by the Company to reflect a change in the reporting
         entity. The financial position and results of operations include only
         the medical staffing business, the Company's subsidiary, ATC Healthcare
         Services, Inc. ("ATC") and the Company's majority owned subsidiary,
         Chelsea Computer Consultants, Inc. ("Chelsea"), an information
         technology staffing business, through September 17, 1999 (the date
         Chelsea was sold).

 6.      DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - On September 17, 1999, prior to the Spin-Off,
         the Company sold its entire interest in Chelsea for total
         consideration of $17,500. The cash received of $17,500 was used to pay
         off approximately $8,400 of borrowings under the Company's acquisition
         line of credit, approximately $4,000 of borrowings under the Company's
         revolving line of credit and $500 paid to a former principal of
         Chelsea. The remaining $4,600 of cash was used to pay down TLCS's
         revolving line of credit. The Company's interest in Chelsea was sold at
         a loss of $1,100.

7.       RESTATEMENT OF THE NOVEMBER 30, 1999 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - The
         November 30, 1999 consolidated balance sheet of the Company as well as
         the results from operations for the three and nine months ended
         November 30, 1999 and the cash flows for the nine months ended November
         30, 1999 have been restated to present Chelsea as discontinued
         operations including both the operating results and sale of Chelsea.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         ($ IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT WHERE NOTED)

The following discussion and analysis provides information which management
believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's results
of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in
Item 1. All amounts referred to in this section are stated in thousands unless
otherwise indicated.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total revenues increased by $3,600 or 14.8% for the three months ended November
30, 1999 to $27,900 from $24,300 for the three months ended November 30, 1998.
The increase in total revenues for the three months ended November 30, 1999 was
a result of the internal growth of the Company at November 30, 1999 from
November 30, 1998. Also, during the three months ended November 30, 1999,
management recorded a $1,000 charge to revenue for potential sales allowances.
For the nine months ended November 30, 1999, total revenues increased by $17,562
or 25.5% to $86,416 from $68,854 for the nine months ended November 30, 1998.
The increase in total revenues for the nine months ended November 30, 1999 was
primarily due to internal growth.

Service costs (the direct costs of providing services) were 79.4% and 78.1% of
total revenues for the three months ended November 30, 1999 and 1998, and 77.7%
and 78.4% for the nine months ended November 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

General and administrative expenses increased by $3,155, or 75.7%, to $7,322 for
the three months ended November 30, 1999 from $4,167 for the three months ended
November 30, 1998. For the nine months ended November 30, 1999, general and
administrative expenses increased by $6,414, or 54.4%, to $18,204 from $11,790
for the nine months ended November 30, 1998. The increase in general and
administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended November 30, 1999 as
compared to the same periods in the prior year is primarily a result of the
expansion of the Company and increased royalty expenses in conjunction with
increased revenues. The increase is also due to the Company hiring additional
personnel because of its relocation of its corporate headquarters from Atlanta,
Georgia to Lake Success, New York. Also, during the three months ended November
30, 1999 management recorded $1,000 in additional bad debt expense.

Interest expense was approximately $446 and $318 for the three months ended
November 30, 1999 and 1998, and $810 and $859 for the nine months ended November
30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The $128 increase in interest expense for the
three months ended November 30, 1999 and 1998 respectively, is due to increased
borrowings under the secured revolving lines of credit, together with higher
interest rates on such borrowings. The $49 decrease in interest for the nine
months ended November 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, is due to the Company
carrying less debt during the nine months ended November 30, 1999.

Spin-Off related expenses were $1,071 for the three months ended November 30,
1999 and consist principally of legal, professional and bank fees. Relocation
expenses of $250 were also recorded in the three months ended November 30, 1999
and represent costs incurred and estimated to move the Company's headquarters
from Atlanta, Georgia to Lake Success, New York.

The provision for income taxes for the periods have been computed using the
effective rate for income taxes as if the Company filed tax returns on a stand
alone basis. The actual historical tax returns of the Company which were filed
for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1999 included losses generated by TLCS
and only minimal state tax liabilities were incurred. Additionally, the tax
return of the Company which will be filed for the fiscal year ending February
29, 2000 will also include TLCS losses through October 20, 1999 (the date of the
spin-off) and these losses will be sufficient to eliminate any federal taxable
income generated by the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On September 24, 1999, the Company entered into an amended and restated loan and
security agreement with a bank ("Loan Agreement") which expires on February 29,
2000. The Loan Agreement permits the Company to borrow up to 75% of eligible
accounts receivable, up to the maximum amount of $15,000. The borrowings under
the credit facility bear interest at 2.0% over the prevailing prime lending rate
(such rate being 8.5% as of January 17, 2000). In addition, the Company is
required to pay a monthly collateral management fee of $3 and .375% per annum of
the daily unused portion of the credit facility. The Company paid bank fees of
$170 in connection with the execution of the Loan Agreement and facility fees of
$131 on November 30, 1999. The Company is required to pay an additional $206 of
facility fees by January 31, 2000.

On September 17, 1999, prior to the spin-off of TLCS, the Company sold its
entire interest in Chelsea for total cash consideration of $17,500. The cash
received of $17,500 was used to pay off approximately $8,400 of borrowings under
the Company's acquisition line of credit, approximately $4,000 of borrowings
under the Company's revolving line of credit and $500 paid to a former principal
of Chelsea. The remaining $4,600 of cash was used to pay down TLCS's revolving
line of credit. The Company's interest in Chelsea was sold at a loss of $1,100.

The Company is currently negotiating with its existing lender to increase the
maximum amount of its credit facility and/or increase the borrowing base
percentage of eligible receivables as well as extend the terms of the agreement.
The Company is also exploring additional financing alternatives with several
other lenders. However, there can be no assurance that the Company's lender will
increase amounts available for borrowing under its existing credit facility
and/or extend the term. Also, there can be no assurance that alternate financing
sources can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company. Although the
Company currently has a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,196 at
November 30, 1999, such deficiency is a result of the classification of its bank
indebtedness as current. Currently, the Company has been able to meet its
obligations as they become due and believes it will continue to do so in the
near future. However, if the Company is required to pay any material amounts as
a result of its being contingently liable for leases and other agreements in
connection with the Spin-Off, this will have a material adverse effect on the
Company. The Company has been indemnified by TLCS in connection with these
contingent liabilities as part of the Spin-Off.
