1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
                                           
      The consolidated financial statements include the operations of 
Diversified Corporate Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), 
all of which are wholly owned.  The financial information for the three and 
six months ended June 30, 1997 and 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 periods.  
The financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated 
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996, included in the 
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as amended ("Form 10-K").  Operating 
results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily 
indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending 
December 31, 1997. 

  RECLASSIFICATIONS

  Certain amounts in the June 30, 1996 consolidated financial statements have 
been reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation.

3.  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FROM RELATED PARTY

 During the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company paid 
various expenses on behalf of J. Michael Moore or various entities which he 
controls amounting to approximately $96,000 and $112,000, respectively.  Mr. 
Moore is the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the 
Company.  These amounts are included in receivables from related party shown 
in the Stockholders' Equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  Of 
these amounts, approximately $90,000 and $100,000, respectively, is related 
to the litigation defense associated with a lawsuit with Ditto Properties, 
Inc., in connection with the Company being named therein as garnishee.  (See 
Part 1, Item 3, Legal Proceedings, in the Company's Form 10-K for the year 
ended December 31, 1996.)

                         -----------   ----------     ----------  ----------

5.  OTHER SHORT-TERM DEBT

  On August 26, 1996, the Company entered into a $300,000 line of credit 
agreement for the purchase of fixed assets.  Interest is payable monthly at 
prime plus 2.5% and the fixed assets financed and certain subsidiary accounts 
receivable are pledged as collateral.  The line of credit of approximately 
$242,000 at June 30, 1997, will convert into long-term debt upon $300,000 
being advanced, depending on the Company's continued relationship with the 
lender. The long-term debt will have a five year term and bear interest 
monthly at prime plus 2.5%.

6.  CONTINGENCIES

  The Company is named as a garnishee in a lawsuit against the majority 
shareholder, which the Company believes is without merit.  As the result of 
an Agreed Temporary Order dated October 24, 1996, the Company was non-suited 
in this matter.  The Company has filed a separate lawsuit against the 
plaintiff seeking damages and reimbursement of expenses, alleging that 
plaintiffs interfered with Company business transactions and proposed 
financings resulting in delays of certain transactions, lost opportunities, 
lost profits and other significant losses.  Additionally, the Company has 
been named in a lawsuit filed by two former employees claiming damages for 
the fair market value of certain shares of common stock of certain 
subsidiaries of the Company as well as other damages for breach of contract 
and various other allegations.  The Company has filed a third party petition 
against one of these plaintiffs and a counterclaim against the other 
plaintiff.  The Company is also involved in certain other litigation and 
disputes not previously noted.  With respect to all the aforementioned 
matters, management believes they are without merit and has concluded that 
the ultimate resolution of such will not have a material effect on the 
Company's consolidated financial statements.

7.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

  In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" 
("Statement 128"), which is effective for 


<PAGE>

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


periods ending after December 15, 1997.  Statement 128 specifies the 
computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share 
("EPS").  Some of the changes made to current EPS standards include:  (i) 
eliminating the presentation of primary EPS and replacing it with basic EPS, 
with the principal difference being that common stock equivalents are not 
considered in computing basic EPS, (ii) eliminating the modified treasury 
stock method and the three percent materiality provision, and (iii) revising 
the contingent share provision and the supplemental EPS data requirements. 
Statement 128 also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the 
face of the income statement, as well as a reconciliation of the numerator 
and denominator used in the two computations of EPS.  Basic EPS is defined by 
Statement 128 as net income from continuing operations divided by the average 
number of common shares outstanding without the consideration of common stock 
equivalents which may be dilutive to EPS. The Company's current methodology 
for computing its fully diluted EPS will not change in future periods as a 
result of its adoption of Statement 128.


 During June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" 
and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures About 
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."  Preliminary analysis of 
these new standards by the Company indicates that the standards will not have 
a material impact on the Company.  The standards are effective for financial 
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.

                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                           

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

  NET SERVICE REVENUES.  Net service revenues increased approximately $1.6 
million or 22.9% to $8.4 million in the second quarter of 1997, compared to 
$6.8 million for the comparable 1996 quarter.  Permanent placement revenues 
increased approximately $1.1 million or 35.1% to $4.3 million for the quarter 
ended June 30, 1997, compared to $3.2 million for the comparable 1996 
quarter.  Specialty service revenues increased approximately $188,000 or 
10.4% to $2.0 million for the second quarter of 1997, compared to $1.8 
million for the comparable 1996 quarter. Contract placement revenues 
increased approximately $256,000 or 14.1% to $2.1 million in the second 
quarter of 1997, compared to $1.8 million for the comparable 1996 quarter. 
The increases in net service revenues were primarily attributable to the 
Company's continued focus on high-end niche employment markets such as the 
information technology and engineering/technical disciplines.

 GROSS MARGIN.  Gross margin increased approximately $587,000 or 29.2% to 
$2.6 million in the second quarter of 1997, compared to $2.0 million for the 
comparable 1996 quarter.  Gross margin as a percentage of net service 
revenues increased to approximately 31.0% in the second quarter of 1997 
compared to approximately 29.5% in the comparable period in 1996.  The 
increase in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in permanent 
placement revenues.

 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses increased approximately $367,000 or 25.8% to $1.8 
million in the second quarter of 1997, compared to $1.4 million for the 
comparable 1996 quarter.  Selling, general and administrative expenses as a 
percentage of net service revenues increased to approximately 21.4% in the 
second quarter of 1997 from approximately 20.9% in the comparable 1996 
quarter. The increase was primarily the result of increased expenses on the 
Company's back office to support the growth in sales and an increase in 
litigation expenses.  Included in these increases were increases in 
litigation expenses of approximately $116,000 and approximately $41,000 for 
the establishment of the Company's training facilities. 

 OTHER EXPENSES.  Other expenses declined approximately $46,000 to $31,000 in 
the second quarter of 1997, compared to approximately $76,000 in the 
comparable 1996 quarter.  The decrease in expenses was the result of a 
decrease in the loss from joint venture operations and a decrease in interest 
expense as a result of the lower cost of funds. 

 INCOME TAXES.  Income tax expense increased approximately $74,000 to 
$136,000 for the second quarter of 1997, compared to approximately $62,000 
for the comparable 1996 quarter.  
    
 NET INCOME.  Net income increased approximately $192,000 or 42.5% to 
approximately $643,000 in the second quarter of 1997 as compared to 
approximately $451,000 in 1996.

COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

  NET SERVICE REVENUES.  Net service revenues increased approximately $2.6 
million or 20.2% to $15.7 million in the first six months of 1997, compared 
to $13.0 million for the comparable 1996 period.  Permanent placement 
revenues increased approximately $2.0 million or 33.9% to $8.0 million for 
the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $6.0 million for the 
comparable 1996 period. Specialty service revenues increased approximately 
$506,000 or 15.0% to $3.9 million for the first six months of 1997, compared 
to $3.4 million for the comparable 1996 period.  Contract

              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
                                           

placement revenues increased approximately $99,000 or 2.7% to $3.8 million in 
the first six months of 1997, compared to $3.7 million for the comparable 
1996 period.  The increase in net service revenues were primarily 
attributable to the Company's continued focus on high margin, high-end niche 
employment markets, such as the information technology and engineering 
technical disciplines.  


 GROSS MARGIN.  Gross margin increased approximately $907,000 or 24.0% to 
$4.7 million in the first six months of 1997, compared to $3.8 million for 
the comparable 1996 period.  Gross margin as a percentage of net service 
revenues increased to approximately 29.9% in the first six months of 1997 
compared to approximately 29.0% in the comparable period in 1996, primarily 
due to an increase in permanent placement revenues.

 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses increased approximately $1.0 million or 37.3% to $3.7 
million in the first six months of 1997, compared to $2.7 million for the 
comparable 1996 period.  Selling, general and administrative expenses as a 
percentage of net service revenues increased to approximately 23.7% in the 
first six months of 1997 from approximately 20.8% in the comparable 1996 
period.  The increase was primarily the result of increased expenses on the 
Company's back office to support the growth in sales, litigation expenses and 
an increase in the provision for uncollectible accounts.  Included in these 
increases were increases in litigation expenses of approximately $225,000, 
provision for uncollectible accounts of approximately $185,000 and 
approximately $76,000 for the establishment of the Company's training 
facilities.

 OTHER EXPENSES.  Other expenses declined approximately $130,000 to $40,000 
in the first six months of 1997, compared to approximately $170,000 in the 
comparable 1996 period.  The decrease in expenses was the result of a 
decrease in the loss from joint venture operations, a decrease in interest 
expense as a result of the lower cost of funds and the collection of a 
receivable, previously written off, associated with a prior year sale of 
assets. 

 INCOME TAXES.  Income tax expense decreased approximately $19,000 to $93,000 
in the first six months of 1997, compared to approximately $112,000 for the 
comparable 1996 period. This decrease resulted primarily from a first quarter 
1997 credit of approximately $68,000 relating to an estimated prior year 
provision taken by the Company for state income tax expense.
 
 EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS.  The extraordinary item-gain on debt restructuring, net 
of income taxes, of approximately $43,000 during the first six months of 1997 
resulted from the Company settling certain prior year delinquent accounts 
payable on a discounted basis.
    
 NET INCOME.  Net income increased approximately $88,000 or 11.1% to 
approximately $877,000 in the first six months of 1997, compared to 
approximately $789,000 in the comparable 1996 period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 Working capital was approximately $297,000 at June 30, 1997, compared to 
working capital of approximately $95,000 at December 31, 1996.  The increase 
in working capital of approximately $202,000 during the first six months of 
1997 was primarily due to the profitable operations of the Company.

               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION - CONTINUED
                                           

 Cash flow provided by operating activities of approximately $503,000 
resulted primarily from the profitable operations of the Company during the 
first six months of 1997.  The Company made capital expenditures of 
approximately $509,000 during the first six months of 1997, of which $144,000 
was financed on a line of credit, primarily to improve its computer systems, 
data base operations, and back office operations.  The Company decreased its 
factored accounts receivable borrowings by $40,000 during the first six 
months of 1997.  

 The Company has entered into factoring arrangements involving advances on 
its outstanding accounts receivable for fees ranging from 2% to 7% of 
factored receivables, based on the number of days the receivable is 
outstanding.  The proceeds from factored accounts receivable were used to 
fund the operations of the Company's business during the first six months of 
1997, and during 1996, 1995 and 1994.  In addition, in 1996 a subsidiary of 
the Company entered into an accounts receivable based revolving line of 
credit agreement with a finance company, which replaced one of the Company's 
factoring arrangements.  The term of the credit agreement is for one year but 
may be renewed if the subsidiary and lender so agree.  Fees and interest are 
based on the monthly average outstanding balance under the line of credit.  
The amount available under the line of credit is based upon eligible accounts 
receivable up to a maximum aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of 85% 
of the aggregate amount of eligible receivables or $1.0 million.  The 
subsidiary had approximately $1.1 million in accounts receivable at June 30, 
1997.  All eligible receivables are pledged as collateral.  Interest is 
payable monthly at prime plus 2.5% (11% at June 30, 1997) plus an 
administrative fee of 0.6% on the average daily outstanding balance during 
the preceding month.  The loan requires that the monthly interest and 
administrative fees be at least $7,500.  At June 30, 1997, borrowings under 
the line of credit amounted to approximately $226,000.  The loan agreement 
requires such subsidiary to maintain positive cash flow (as defined) and net 
income of no less than $50,000 per quarter and restricts dividend payments 
and certain transactions of such subsidiary with its affiliates.

 In August 1996, the Company entered into a $300,000 line of credit agreement 
for the purchase of fixed assets.  Interest is payable monthly at prime plus 
2.5% (11% at June 30, 1997) and the fixed assets financed are pledged as 
collateral.  The line of credit will convert into long-term debt upon 
$300,000 being advanced, depending on the Company's continued relationship 
with the lender.  The long-term debt will have a five year term and bear 
interest monthly at prime plus 2.5%.  In addition, the Company has pledged as 
collateral on this line of credit $450,000 of one of its subsidiary company's 
accounts receivable. The outstanding balance of approximately $242,000 under 
this line of credit is reflected in other short-term debt in the Consolidated 
Balance Sheet at June 30, 1997.

 The Company is continually evaluating various financing strategies to be 
utilized in expanding its business and to fund future growth or acquisitions. 
Management of the Company anticipates that cash flow from operations will 
provide adequate liquidity to fund its operations for at least the next 12 
months.  
 
 Inflation has not had a significant effect on the Company's operating 
results.
 
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

  In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" 
("Statement 128"), which is effective for periods ending after December 15, 
1997.  Statement 128 specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure 
requirements for earnings per share ("EPS").  Some of the changes made to 

<PAGE>

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


current EPS standards include:  (i) eliminating the presentation of primary 
EPS and replacing it with basic EPS, with the principal difference being that 
common stock equivalents are not considered in computing basic EPS, (ii) 
eliminating the modified treasury stock method and the three percent 
materiality provision, and (iii) revising the contingent share provision and 
the supplemental EPS data requirements.  Statement 128 also requires dual 
presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement, as 
well as a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the two 
computations of EPS.  Basic EPS is defined by Statement 128 as net income 
from continuing operations divided by the average number of common shares 
outstanding without the consideration of common stock equivalents which may 
be dilutive to EPS. The Company's current methodology for computing its fully 
diluted EPS will not change in future periods as a result of its adoption of 
Statement 128.

 During June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" 
and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures About 
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."  Preliminary analysis of 
these new standards by the Company indicates that the standards will not have 
a material impact on the Company.  The standards are effective for financial 
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.

ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER FROM FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 Statements in this Form 10-Q that reflect projections or expectations of 
future financial or economic performance of the Company, and statements of 
the Company's plans and objectives for future operations are 
"forward-looking" statements.  No assurance can be given that actual results 
or events will not differ materially from those projected, estimated, assumed 
or anticipated in any such forward looking statements.  Important factors 
that could result in such differences include:  general economic conditions 
in the Company's markets, including inflation, recession, interest rates and 
other economic factors; the availability of qualified personnel; the level of 
competition experienced by the Company; the Company's ability to implement 
its business strategies and to manage its growth; and other factors that 
affect businesses generally.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    In September, 1996, a lawsuit (the "Suit") was filed by Ditto Properties 
Company ("Ditto Properties"), whose manager is a business associate of J. 
Michael Moore, against the USFG-DHRG L.P. No. 2, Inc. (the "Controlling 
Shareholder"), J. Michael Moore individually and USFG-DHRG #1 Ltd. 
(collectively, the "Defendants").
    
    The Suit alleges, among other things, that the Defendants fraudulently 
induced Ditto Properties to sell 899,200 shares (the "Shares") of Common 
Stock to the Controlling Shareholder and failed to perform under the related 
Stock Purchase Agreement dated March 26, 1993 (the "Stock Purchase 
Agreement").  The Suit asks for injunctive relief and damages but also had 
sought to rescind the Stock Purchase Agreement.  However, summary judgment on 
the issue of rescission was granted in favor of the Controlling Shareholder 
and Ditto Properties' rescission claim was dismissed on June 2, 1997.
    
    Because the Company believes that the Suit has interfered with certain of 
the Company's business activities, the Company filed a separate lawsuit 
against Ditto Properties on October 7, 1996.  This lawsuit seeks in excess of 
$100 million in damages and the reimbursement of certain expenses.
    
    The Company has incurred legal expenses on its own behalf and on behalf 
of the Defendants in an effort to prevent potential adverse impact of the 
Suit on the Company.  The Controlling Shareholder and Mr. Moore have entered 
into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which Mr. Moore has agreed to 
reimburse any legal fees and expenses deemed personal in nature by the Board 
of Directors. The Board of Directors determined that approximately 50% of 
such legal fees paid through October 24, 1996, should be reimbursed by the 
Controlling Shareholder and that all of such fees after that date should be 
reimbursed to the Company.
    
    Pursuant to the terms of an agreed order entered by the court in the 
Suit, the Controlling Shareholder has deposited $1.5 million with the special 
master appointed by the court.  The funds for such deposit were obtained 
pursuant to a loan made by Imperial Bank to the Controlling Shareholder.
    
    In September, 1996, a lawsuit was filed in Texas State Court, in Dallas
County, by Billie Jean Tapp ("Ms. Tapp"), since joined by Gary K. Steeds ("Mr.
Steeds") against the Company, two of the Company's subsidiaries, Management
Alliance Corporation ("MAC") and Information Systems Consulting Corp. ("ISCC")
and three of the Company's officers and directors (J. Michael Moore, M. Ted
Dillard and Donald A. Bailey).
    
    In their lawsuit, Ms. Tapp and Mr. Steeds (former employees of the 
Company) each allege that the Company breached an agreement purporting to 
convey up to 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of MAC and ISCC to each 
of Ms. Tapp and Mr. Steeds pursuant to a vesting schedule set forth in such 
agreement, and certain other alleged agreements.  They allege damages for the 
fair market value of such shares in which they were vested and other damages 
for breach of contract, conspiracy and tortious conduct, as well as 
mismanagement, misappropriation of corporate assets and self-dealing by 
Company officers and directors.  The Company denies the existence of any such 
contractual relationship, believes that Ms. Tapp's and Mr. Steeds' claims are 
without merit, has filed an answer and counterclaim against Ms. Tapp and a 
third party petition against Mr. Steeds and is vigorously defending the 
lawsuit.  In addition, the

          DIVERSIFIED CORPORATE RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES - CONTINUED
                                            

Company believes that even if any such contractual relationship existed, 
based upon the vesting schedule set forth in such agreements, any potential 
damages of Ms. Tapp and Mr. Steeds would not have a material adverse effect 
on the Company. The Company has moved to dismiss certain of Ms. Tapp's and 
Mr. Steeds' claims on summary judgment.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

    Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the annual meeting of shareholders (the 
"Annual Meeting") was held on August 12, 1997.  At the meeting the 
shareholders voted to elect J. Michael Moore, M. Ted Dillard, Donald A. 
Bailey and Samuel E. Hunter to serve as directors of the Company to hold 
office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their 
respective successors are duly elected and qualified.  The results of the 
vote were as follows:

              FOR                    AGAINST                 ABSTAIN


           1,036,162                   -0-                    1,652

    The shareholders voted to adopt and ratify the Board's adoption of the 
Company's Amended and Restated 1996 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan.  The 
results of the vote were as follows:

              FOR                    AGAINST                 ABSTAIN

            991,026                    5,658                 41,130

    The shareholders voted to ratify the appointment of Coopers & Lybrand 
L.L.P. as independent auditors for the 1997 fiscal year.  The results of the 
vote were as follows:

              FOR                    AGAINST                 ABSTAIN

          1,037,814                     -0-                     -0-

    Prior to the Annual Meeting, the Company's Board of Directors determined, 
in consultation with its investment bankers, that it was in the best 
interests of the Company to withdraw the proposal discussed in the Company's 
Proxy Statement to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to effect a 
forward stock-split of the Company's common stock.  It was therefore 
withdrawn prior to the Annual Meeting.
