NOTE 1


  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the operations of 
Diversified Corporate Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company").  
The financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, is 
unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring 
accruals) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of 
the results for the period.  The financial information should be read in 
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 
December 31, 1995, included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K.  
Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, are not 
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire 
year ended December 31, 1996. 

  NATURE OF OPERATIONS

     Diversified Corporate Resources, Inc. (the "Company") is a Texas 
corporation.  The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is engaged 
in the full-time (regular) and temporary placement of personnel in various 
industries, and the contract placement services industry.  The Company 
operates branch offices in a number of cities which are responsible for 
marketing to clients, recruitment of personnel, operations, local 
advertising, credit and collections.  The Company's executive office provides 
centralized training, payroll, collections and certain accounting and 
administrative services for the branch offices.

  REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Fees for placement of full-time (regular) personnel are recognized as 
income at the time the applicants accept employment.  Provision is made for 
estimated losses in realization (principally due to applicants not commencing 
employment or not remaining in employment for the guaranteed period).  
Revenue from temporary and contract personnel placements is recognized upon 
performance of services by the Company.  The Company's operating expenses 
consist principally of commissions, direct wages paid to temporary personnel, 
payroll taxes, rent and a provision for uncollectible accounts (approximately 
$154,000 in 1996 and $66,000 in 1995).

  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Cash and cash equivalents includes certificates of deposit of 
approximately $22,000 at September 30, 1995.  The Company considers all 
highly liquid investment instruments purchased with remaining maturities of 
three months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of the consolidated 
statements of cash flow.

  JOINT VENTURE OPERATIONS

     During January, 1995, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement 
with CFS, Inc. for the purpose of providing personnel services to certain 
businesses requiring minority suppliers and to others.  CFS, Inc. is a 
minority operated corporation which, because of its status, supplies services 
to clients requiring a certain portion of its business to be allocated to 
minority owned and operated vendors.  The majority shareholder of CFS, Inc. 
purchased the 49% ownership interest of Laurie Moore, the wife of J. Michael 
Moore, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company, 
pursuant to a transaction which was made effective retroactive to January 1, 
1995.  Ms. Moore received no monetary gain on this transaction.

     The Company provides this joint venture with personnel and contract 
labor on a subcontractor basis.  The Company has a 49% ownership interest in 
the joint venture and is allocated 65% of the net income or loss resulting 
from the joint venture operations.  The joint venture recorded a net loss for 
the third quarter of 1996 of $22,000.  Accordingly, the Company recognized a 
$14,000 loss from joint venture operations in the Consolidated Statement of 
Operations for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  For the nine months 
ended September 30, 1996, the joint venture recorded a net loss of $114,000, 
and the Company recognized a $74,000 loss from joint venture operations.  For 
more discussion of joint venture operations, refer to the Company's Form 10-K 
for the year ended December 31, 1995.

  INCOME TAXES

     During 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for income 
taxes to conform to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."  Accordingly, income taxes 
are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial 
statements and consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred taxes related 
primarily to differences between the basis of installment sales, property and 
equipment and accounts receivable for financial and income tax reporting.  
The deferred taxes represent the future tax return consequences of those 
differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and 
liabilities are recovered or settled.

     The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $4.4 
million as of December 31, 1995, which, if unused, expires in 2002 through 
2008.  However, due to a more than 50% change in ownership of the Company's 
stock beginning with an April 1991 transaction, the Company's use of its net 
operating loss carryforward is subject to certain limitations pursuant to 
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  The amount of the Company's net 
operating loss available for use as of December 31, 1995, was approximately 
$1.6 million.  An additional amount of approximately $467,000 will become 
available annually through 2001.

  INCOME PER SHARE

     Income per share was determined by dividing net income by the weighted 
average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents 
outstanding.  The effect of the stock options granted in October of 1995 had 
a dilutive effect on the earnings per share calculations for the third 
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996.  Using the treasury stock 
method for computing weighted average

            DIVERSIFIED CORPORATE RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-CONTINUED


shares outstanding, it was assumed that an additional 119,512 shares were 
issued for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, compared to 1,758,211 in the 
same quarter in 1995.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, it was 
assumed that an additional 117,532 shares were issued compared to 1,758,211 
shares in the comparable period in 1995.

  USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     During the first quarter of 1996, the Company changed its valuation of 
long-lived assets to conform to the provisions of Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived 
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of."  Accordingly, the 
Company recognized a reduction in market value of certain long-lived assets.  
This write down resulted in a charge to current earnings of approximately 
$37,000 during the first quarter of 1996.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED 
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

     As a result of continued favorable market conditions for the Company's 
services and management's focus on the development of certain niche markets, 
total revenues were $7.2 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 
1996, compared to $5.0 million in the comparable quarter in 1995.  This 
increase of 45.9% resulted from an increase in all areas of the Company's 
business.  Cost and expenses were $6.0 million in the third quarter of 1996 
as compared to $4.4 million in the third quarter of 1995.  This represents a 
35.8% increase.  The increase in revenues and cost and expenses in the third 
quarter of 1996, as compared to the third quarter of 1995, resulted from an 
increase in the level of activities in all areas of the Company's operations 
during the third quarter of 1996.

     General and administrative expenses increased approximately $465,000, or 
121.2%, in 1996 as compared to the third quarter of 1995.  This increase is 
the result of an increase in corporate operating expenses for legal and other 
professional services, and for costs associated with the evaluation of 
possible acquisitions and related funding strategies.  Through October 24, 
1996, the Company incurred approximately $170,000 in legal fees related to 
certain litigation, of which amount $68,000 was expensed in the third quarter 
of 1996. A portion of such fees may be subject to reimbursement.  During the 
third quarter of 1996, the Company also increased its reserve for disputed 
claims established in the second quarter of 1996 by $165,000.  See Part II, 
Item 1 hereof for a discussion of certain legal matters involving the Company.

     The Company recorded a loss of approximately $14,000 during the third 
quarter of 1996 in connection with its joint venture operation with CFS, 
Inc.. This joint venture was formed in January of 1995 for the purpose of 
providing personnel services to certain businesses requiring minority 
suppliers and to others.  No accruals were made for such losses until the 
fourth quarter of 1995.

     Interest expense for the third quarter of 1996 increased approximately 
$4,000 over the prior year quarter.  Such increase is the result of the 
Company factoring a larger amount of accounts receivable in 1996 as compared 
to 1995, offset by a lower cost of funds in 1996 than in 1995. 

     Primarily as a result of these factors, the Company recorded net income 
of approximately $337,000 for the third quarter of 1996, compared to net 
income of approximately $147,000 for the third quarter of 1995.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

     Total revenues were $20.3 million for the nine months ended September 
30, 1996, compared to $14.4 million in the first nine months of 1995.  This 
increase of 40.9% resulted from favorable market conditions for the Company's 
services in 1996, and management's focus on the development of certain niche 
markets.  Cost and expenses were $16.8 million for the first nine months of 
1996 as compared to $12.6 million in the first nine months of 1995.  This 
represents a 33.1% increase.  The increase in both revenues and cost and 
expenses in the first nine months of 1996 as compared to the first nine 
months of 1995, resulted from an increase in the level of activities in all 
areas of the Company's operations during the first nine months of 1996.

     General and administrative expenses increased approximately $813,000, or 
65.7%, in 1996 as compared to the first nine months of 1995.  This increase 
is primarily the result of an increase in corporate operating expenses for 
payroll, legal and other professional services incurred in connection with 
litigation 

<PAGE>

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

and corporate matters, and for expenses incurred during the third quarter of
1996 associated with the evaluation of possible acquisitions and related funding
strategies.  In addition, the Company established a reserve totaling $275,000
for disputed claims during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  See Part
II, Item 1 hereof for a discussion of certain legal matters involving the
Company.

          The Company recorded a loss of approximately $74,000 during the first
nine months of 1996 in connection with its joint venture operation.  This joint
venture was formed in January of 1995 for the purpose of providing personnel
services to certain businesses requiring minority suppliers and to others.  No
accruals were made for such losses until the fourth quarter of 1995.

          Interest expense for the first nine months of 1996 increased 
approximately $29,000 over the same period during the prior year.  Such 
increase is the result of the Company factoring a larger amount of accounts 
receivable to fund growth in its employment placement business during the 
first nine months of 1996 as compared to 1995.  Such increase was partially 
offset by a reduction in the cost of funds in 1996 compared to 1995. 

          As a result of these and other factors, the Company recorded net
income of approximately $1.1 million for the first nine months of 1996, compared
to net income of approximately $415,000 for the first nine months of 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          The Company had a working capital deficit of $154,000 at September 30,
1996, compared with an approximately $1.1 million deficit at December 31, 1995. 
This working capital improvement of approximately $906,000 during the first nine
months of 1996 can be primarily attributed to the increase in revenues that
resulted in a significant increase in the accounts receivable of the employment
placement business, partially offset by an increase in the related accounts
payable. 

          Cash flow provided by operating activities of $1.1 million resulted
primarily from the profitable operations of the Company's employment placement
business and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, offset in
part by a corresponding increase in accounts receivable.   

          The Company has undertaken a program to significantly upgrade its
existing office equipment, including improving its existing database and
accounting information systems.  As a result, net cash used in investing
activities of $310,000 resulted from capital expenditures made by the Company
during the first nine months of 1996.  The Company retired approximately $16,000
in debt obligations during the first nine months of 1996, and decreased its
utilization of proceeds from factored accounts receivable by approximately
$125,000 during the nine month period ended September 30, 1996.

          Presently, the Company's only major source of income relates to the
operations of its employment placement business.  Management of the Company
anticipates that the cash flow of its employment placement business will provide
sufficient liquidity to fund its future operations, and enable the Company to
continue to make reductions in its current obligations.

          The Company is continuing to evaluate the possibility of expanding its
employment placement business.  Management is presently evaluating potential
acquisitions and related funding strategies.  In addition, subsequent to
September 30, 1996, the Company has opened an office in Raleigh-Durham, North
Carolina, and has plans to expand its existing operations in Austin, Texas and
Chicago, Illinois.

                            PART II OTHER INFORMATION
            DIVERSIFIED CORPORATE RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          On September 5, 1996, a lawsuit was filed in the 114th Judicial 
District of the District Court of Wood County, Texas, by Ditto Properties 
Company against USFG-DHRG L.P. No. 2, Inc., aka DCRI L.P. No. 2, Inc. ("USFG 
No. 2"), J. Michael Moore and the Company, as garnishees.  The suit sought 
injunctive relief, rescission, or in the alternative, imposition of a 
constructive trust, damages, and an order of judicial foreclosure upon shares 
constituting a controlling interest in the Company.  Such shares are now 
owned by USFG No. 2, the controlling shareholder of the Company.  The sole 
stockholder of USFG No. 2 is J. Michael Moore, Chairman of the Board and 
Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  On October 24, 1996, an Agreed 
Temporary Order [the "Temporary Order"] was entered by the Court.  Under the 
Temporary Order, certificates evidencing the controlling block of the 
Company's common stock, owned directly or beneficially by USFG No. 2, are 
required to be delivered to a Special Master pursuant to the terms of the 
Temporary Order. The Temporary Order provides that USFG No 2., its officers, 
directors and shareholders may conduct all lawful business, but shall obtain 
the approval of the Special Master prior to taking certain actions regarding 
the shares of common stock.  All of USFG No. 2's duties, responsibilities and 
other obligations under the Temporary Order will expire upon USFG No.2 
satisfying its obligations pursuant to the terms of the Temporary Order.  Mr. 
Moore and the Company, both named garnishees in the suit, were non-suited as 
a result of the Temporary Order.  However, the Company has filed a separate 
lawsuit in Dallas County, Texas, against Ditto Properties for damages and 
reimbursement of legal expenses.

          In connection with the litigation proceedings, the Company incurred
legal expenses on its own behalf and, in addition, has funded the legal expenses
of USFG No. 2 incurred in connection with the suit.  Management has caused funds
to be advanced on behalf of USFG No. 2 to insure that this litigation did not
adversely impact the Company's ability to pursue acquisitions and related
funding strategies.  It is expected that (a) the Board of Directors of the
Company will ultimately determine the portion of these legal fees which, in its
opinion, should have been incurred by the Company and (b) the remaining legal
fees will be repaid to the Company by USFG No. 2.  Management does not expect
the Company to incur or advance any significant amounts for legal fees in the
future relating to the initial legal proceedings discussed above.  (See
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of
Operations.)

          On September 13, 1996, a lawsuit was filed in the 44th Judicial
District of the District Court of Dallas County, Dallas, by Billie Jean Tapp
("Ms. Tapp") against the Company, two of the Company's subsidiaries (Management
Alliance Corporation and Information Systems Consulting Corp.) and three of the
Company's officers and directors (J. Michael Moore, M. Ted Dillard and Donald A.
Bailey).

          In her lawsuit, Ms. Tapp (a former employee of the Company) alleges
damages of approximately $29 million for breach of contract, conspiracy and
torts, as well as mismanagement, misappropriation of corporate assets and self-
dealing by Company officers and directors. The Company has filed an answer,
counterclaim and plea in abatement and is vigorously defending the lawsuit.  In
addition, the Company has filed a third party petition against Gary K. Steeds,
Ms. Tapp's husband, and also a former employee of the Company.  The Company
maintains that there were no contractual agreements with Ms. Tapp and that she
is not owed anything by the Company or any of the other defendants in this case.
The Company further denies conspiring to injure Ms. Tapp.
