               UNIFORCE TEMPORARY PERSONNEL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.       PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

                  The consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of
Uniforce  Temporary  Personnel,  Inc.  and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  (the
"Company").  All significant  intercompany  accounts and transactions  have been
eliminated in consolidation.

2.       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  The  consolidated   financial   statements  as  shown  in  the
accompanying  index have been  prepared by the  Company  without  audit.  In the
opinion of management,  all  adjustments  (which  include only normal  recurring
adjustments)  necessary to present  fairly the  financial  position,  results of
operations and cash flows at March 31, 1995, and for all periods  presented have
been made.

                  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in  financial   statements   prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles  have been  condensed,  reclassified  or  omitted.  It is
suggested  that these  consolidated  condensed  financial  statements be read in
conjunction  with  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto
included in the Company's December 31, 1994 financial statements. The results of
operations for the period ended March 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of
the operating results which may be achieved for the full year.

                  Tax  accruals  have been  made  based on  estimated  effective
annual tax rates for the periods presented.

3.       CONTINGENCIES

                  In April 1994,  various  prior  insurance  carriers  and their
not-for-profit  trade  association  filed an action  against  the  Company,  its
officers and various unrelated  parties.  The action alleges breach of contracts
of insurance and  underpayment of premiums.  The Company's motion to dismiss the
action has not yet been  decided and the Company  continues to deny the validity
of the claims of the  Plaintiffs.  Further,  it  intends  to assert  substantial
claims in opposition to the claims of the Plaintiffs.  Additionally, the Company
and its subsidiaries  have filed suit against various prior worker  compensation
carriers alleging claims mismanagement.

                  Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters
will not have a material  adverse  affect  upon the  financial  position  of the
Company.  See PART II Other  Information,  Item 1. Legal  Proceedings,  included
elsewhere herein.

ITEM 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                  Total  revenues  increased  by  $7,168,530,   or  30.5%,  from
$23,514,520  in the first quarter of 1994 to $30,683,050 in the first quarter of
1995. Sales of supplemental staffing services increased by $6,949,521, or 31.2%,
from  $22,245,180  in the  first  quarter  of 1994 to  $29,194,701  in the first
quarter  of  1995.  This  increase  resulted   principally  from  the  Company's
acquisition in April 1994 of certain assets of Brannon & Tully, Inc., a provider
of information services ("IS") contract professionals. This company now operates
under the  tradename  of Brannon &  Tully/Uniforce  Information  Services.  This
acquisition  contributed  $5,694,983  of sales for the first quarter of 1995 and
has had a  favorable  impact on the  Company's  results  of  operations  and its
ability to develop higher margin professional  services.  Sales by the Company's
subsidiaries,  PrO  Unlimited,  and to a lesser  degree  LabForce,  continued to
increase as the Company emphasized the marketing of these services.

                  The Company's strategy is to expand through the development of
higher margin professional services such as IS, technical,  automated office and
other  professional  support  services as well as its PrO Unlimited and LabForce
subsidiaries,  while  continuing  to reduce the  percentage of its sales derived
from light industrial assignments.  In addition, the Company intends to continue
to pursue acquisitions of established independent  supplemental staffing service
companies that offer specialty services.

                  Service  revenues and fees increased by 17.3% from  $1,269,340
in the first quarter of 1994 to  $1,488,349  in the first quarter of 1995.  This
reflects  increased  service  revenues  and fees  generated  by existing and new
clients of Temporary  Help  Industry  Servicing  Company,  Inc.  ("THISCO")  and
Brentwood Service Group, Inc. ("BSG"),  two of the Company's  subsidiaries.  The
Company  intends to  continue  to expand this  portion of its  business  through
THISCO and BSG during 1995. In addition,  system wide sales, which include sales
of  Associated  Offices  serviced by THISCO and BSG,  increased  by 30.5%,  from
$51,437,121  in the first quarter of 1994 to $67,133,526 in the first quarter of
1995.

                  Cost of supplemental  staffing  services was 77.8% of sales of
supplemental  staffing  services in the first quarter of 1995, as well as in the
first quarter of 1994.

                  Licensees'  share of gross margin is principally  based upon a
percentage of the gross margin  generated  from sales by licensed  offices.  The
gross margin from sales of supplemental staffing services amounted to $6,486,854
and $4,939,437 for the first quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Licensees'
share of gross  margin was 34.2% for the first  quarter of 1995 as  compared  to
45.3% for the first  quarter of 1994.  The lower share as a percentage  of total
gross margin in 1995 is due, in part, to the

                                        5

sales of Brannon &  Tully/Uniforce  Information  Services for which there are no
related  licensee  distributions,  and to the sales of PrO  Unlimited  for which
there are limited distributions.

                  General and administrative expenses increased by $1,469,471 or
48.8% during the first quarter of 1995 as compared to the first quarter of 1994.
As a percentage of revenues,  general and administrative expenses were 14.6% and
12.8% for 1995 and 1994, respectively. These increases resulted principally from
expenses  relating  to  the  Brannon  &  Tully/Uniforce   Information   Services
operations  and higher  payroll and marketing  costs at PrO  Unlimited.  Further
contributing to the increase were higher expenses relating to payroll costs with
respect to permanent staff and professional fees.

                  In 1994, the Company earned net interest  income of $30,180 on
its short term  investments and notes  receivable from  licensees.  However,  in
1995, as a result of the borrowings for the acquisition of Brannon & Tully, Inc.
and working capital  requirements,  the Company incurred net interest expense of
$84,125.

                  As a result  of the  factors  discussed  above,  net  earnings
increased by 11.6% from  $540,324  ($.12 per share) in the first quarter of 1994
to $602,993 ($.14 per share) in the first quarter of 1995.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

                  As of March 31, 1995 the Company's  working capital  decreased
to  $18,115,339,  as compared to $19,281,230 at December 31, 1994. This decrease
was due primarily to the continuing  profitable  operations of the Company being
more than offset by the repurchase of its common stock, the acquisition of fixed
assets and the payment of the cash dividend detailed below.

                  On  January  3,  1995,  the  Board  of  Directors  declared  a
quarterly  cash dividend on shares of common stock of Uniforce of $.03 per share
which was paid on January 27,  1995,  to holders of record on January 13,  1995.
Subsequent to March 31, 1995,  the Board of Directors  declared a quarterly cash
dividend  of $.03 per  share,  which was paid on April 28,  1995 to  holders  of
record on April 14, 1995.

                  On April 18,  1994,  the Company  acquired  certain  assets of
Brannon & Tully,  Inc.,  a provider of IS contract  professionals.  The purchase
price  consisted of  $3,150,000  in cash and the  issuance of 127,720  shares of
common stock of the Company.  The Company  also  acquired  from Brannon & Tully,
Inc.  certain  accounts  receivable,  with recourse,  for  $1,301,595.  The cash
portion  of the  purchase  price  and  the  accounts  receivable  acquired  were
initially  financed through a $4,500,000  borrowing under the Company's  working
capital credit facility noted below.

<PAGE>


                  The  Company  maintains,  with two  banks,  a working  capital
credit  facility  and a  revolving  credit and term loan  facility.  The working
capital credit  facility,  the amount of which was increased from  $9,000,000 to
$10,000,000 in June,  1994,  comprises an open line of credit,  borrowings under
which are  payable on  demand.  Outstanding  borrowings  bear  interest,  at the
Company's  option,  at the banks' prime rate or at a rate 120 basis points above
the banks' LIBOR Rate (a rate based upon the London Interbank  Offered Rate). At
March 31,  1995,  the Company had  outstanding  borrowings  of  $4,600,000  with
interest being charged at the banks' prime rate.

                  On August 31, 1994,  the Company  entered into a new revolving
credit and term loan  agreement  establishing  a two-year  $6,000,000  facility,
outstanding borrowings under which, at the Company's option, may be converted at
the maturity of the revolving  credit  facility into a five-year  term loan. The
loan agreement contains  restrictive  covenants relating to, among other things,
minimum net worth and  profitability  with which the  Company is in  compliance.
Borrowings  under  the  revolving  credit  portion  of the  facility  will  bear
interest,  at the Company's option, either at the banks' prime rate or at a rate
120 basis points above the banks' LIBOR Rate. Such borrowings, if converted to a
term loan,  will bear interest,  at the Company's  option,  either at the banks'
prime rate plus 1/4%,  or at a rate 145 basis points above the LIBOR Rate.  This
facility  replaced a prior revolving credit facility that matured in June, 1994.
Borrowings under the prior facility,  which  aggregated  $4,000,000 at maturity,
were  converted  into a five-year  term loan. At March 31, 1995,  $3,400,000 was
outstanding  with  interest  being  charged at 7.7% (145 basis  points above the
LIBOR Rate). The terms of the prior facility are substantially  identical to the
new revolving credit and term loan facility.

                  The Company does not currently have material  commitments  for
capital  expenditures and does not anticipate entering into any such commitments
during the next 12 months.  The Company believes that internally  generated cash
flow and  existing  borrowing  facilities  will be  adequate  to meet  operating
requirements. The Company intends to expand its business through the development
of  higher  margin  professional  services  as well as  through  PrO  Unlimited,
LabForce and Brannon & Tully/Uniforce  Information Services.  Additionally,  the
Company continues to pursue expansion by acquisition of established  independent
supplemental  staffing  service  companies that offer  specialty  services.  The
Company  anticipates  that  this  expansion  will be  financed  from  internally
generated cash flow and existing  borrowing  facilities (of which  $6,000,000 is
available under the long term revolving credit facility described above).
