           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (UNAUDITED)

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 months ended March 31, 
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 period.  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. 
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1997, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending 
December 31, 1997. 

     RECLASSIFICATIONS AND RESTATEMENT

     Certain amounts in the December 31 and March 31, 1996, consolidated 
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation.
The December 31, 1996 consolidated financial statements have been restated and
reclassified from those previously filed in the 1997 first quarter Form 10-Q. 
Such restatement and reclassifications are described in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K/A-2 for
the year ended December 31, 1996.  Additionally, certain reclassifications have
been made to the previously filed March 31, 1997 consolidated financial 
statements.

3.   ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FROM RELATED PARTY

     During the first quarter of 1997, the Company paid various expenses on 
behalf of J. Michael Moore or various entities which he controls amounting to
approximately $16,000.  Mr. Moore is the Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company.  The $16,000 is included in receivables from
related party shown in the Stockholders' Equity section of the Consolidated
Balance Sheet.  Of this amount, approximately $10,000 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 subordinated accounts
receivable are pledged as collateral.  The line of credit of approximately
$182,000 at March 31, 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 expense, 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 in excess of $29 million each 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 PRONOUNCEMENT

     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 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.

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

     THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 
31, 1996

     Net service revenues increased approximately $1.1 million or 17.1% to $7.3
million in the first quarter of 1997, compared to $6.2 million for the
comparable 1996 quarter.  First quarter 1997 net service revenues were reduced
by approximately $350,000 for direct write-offs and  provisions taken by the
Company for actual and estimated losses for applicants who accepted employment
during the first quarter but did not start work or did not remain in employment
for the guaranteed period compared to $112,000 in 1996, which included an
$81,000 credit for a change in estimates of the December 1995 allowance.  In
spite of this provision, permanent placement revenues increased approximately
$903,000 or 32.5% to $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, compared
to $2.8 million for the comparable 1996 quarter.  Specialty service revenues
increased approximately $318,000 or 20.4% to $1.9 million for the first quarter
of 1997, compared to $1.6 million for the comparable 1996 quarter.  The
increases in permanent placement and specialty services were primarily
attributable to the Company's continued focus on high-end niche employment
markets, such as the information technology and engineering/technical
disciplines.  New offices opened since the end of the first quarter in 1996 also
contributed $170,000 to revenues during the first quarter of 1997.  Contract
placement revenues decreased approximately $157,000 or 8.3% to $1.7 million in
the first quarter of 1997, compared to $1.9 million for the comparable 1996
quarter.  Contract placement revenues declined slightly as a result of a lower
number of people on job assignments than were anticipated for the first quarter
of 1997.  The decrease in personnel on assignment was primarily attributable to
certain contracts coming to an end, the Company not replacing these contracts
until late in the quarter, and certain personnel being converted to permanent
positions.  In addition, due to unusually high recruiter turnover at the end of
1996, it took management longer to train new recruiters to assist in finding
qualified applicants for its job orders during the first quarter of 1997.  

     Gross margin increased approximately $237,000 or 13.8 % to $1.9 million in
the first quarter of 1997. Gross margin as a percentage of net service revenues
declined to 26.7% in the first quarter of 1997 compared to 27.5% in the
comparable period in 1996.  As discussed above, contract placement revenues were
down as a result of the lower number of personnel on assignment.  As the result
of lower contract placement revenues to cover certain field office and recruiter
compensation expenses, contract placement gross margins were lower than
anticipated during the first quarter of 1997.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 
$520,000 or 42.4% to $1.7 million in the first quarter of 1997 compared to $1.2 
million in the comparable quarter in 1996.  Selling, general and administrative 
expenses as a percentage of net service revenues increased to 24.0% in the first
quarter of 1997 from 19.7% in the comparable quarter in 1996.  The dollar 
increase was primarily the result of increased marketing and recruiting 
expenses, increased expenditures on the Company's back office to support the 
growth in sales, and litigation expenses. Included in the increase in selling, 
general and administrative expenses were increases in selling expenses of 
approximately $82,000, general and administrative expenses of approximately 
$329,000 and litigation expenses of approximately $109,000 for the first quarter
of 1997 compared to the comparable quarter in 1996. (See Part 1. Item 3. Legal
Proceedings, in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.) 
The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of
an increase in the provision for uncollectible accounts to approximately
$204,000 for the first quarter of 1997, compared to $5,000 for the comparable
1996 quarter.  The increase in the provision for uncollectable accounts was
primarily the result of a $56,000 reduction in the allowance during the first
quarter of 1996, resulting from a change in estimate of the December 31, 1995
allowance, and an increase in the provision for uncollectible accounts
receivable during the first quarter of 1997 to increase the allowance for bad
debt and for an increase in non-performing accounts aging beyond 75 days at
March 31, 1997.  During the first quarter of 1997, the Company also lowered its
provision for estimated outstanding medical insurance claims associated with its
self-insured medical insurance program, which reduced general and administrative
expenses by $50,000.

     Other expenses declined approximately $44,000 to $49,000 in the first 
quarter of 1997 compared to approximately $93,000 in the comparable quarter in 
1996.  The decrease in expenses was the result of a decrease in the loss from 
joint venture operations and the collection of a receivable previously written 
off associated with a prior year sale of assets.

     The income tax benefit was approximately $43,000 for the first quarter of
1997, compared to an income tax expense of approximately $50,000 for the first
quarter of 1996.  This decrease of approximately $93,000 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.

                                     7 
<PAGE>

     The extraordinary item-gain on debt restructuring, net of income taxes, of
approximately $43,000 during the first quarter of 1997 resulted from the Company
settling certain prior year delinquent accounts payable on a discounted basis.

     As a result of the above factors, net income decreased approximately 
$104,000 or 30.8% to approximately $234,000 in the first quarter of 1997 as 
compared to $338,000 in 1996.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Working capital was approximately $14,000 at March 31, 1997, compared to
working capital of approximately $95,000 at December 31, 1996.  The decrease in
working capital of approximately $81,000 during the first quarter of 1997 was
primarily due to an increase in the Company's current liabilities, including
borrowings of $85,000 on an equipment line of credit for the purchase of
computer equipment and other fixed assets to build its back office to support
the growth in sales.

     Cash flow provided by operating activities of approximately $171,000 
resulted primarily from the profitable operations of the Company during the 
first quarter of 1997.  The Company made capital expenditures of approximately
$286,000 during the first quarter of 1997, primarily to improve its computer 
systems, data base operations, and back office operations.  As mentioned above,
the Company borrowed approximately $85,000 on a line of credit to purchase 
computer equipment to support its back office operations, and increased its 
factored accounts receivable borrowings by $125,000 to fund its operations 
during the first quarter of 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 the cash flow from operations will
provide adequate liquidity to fund its operations for the foreseeable future.

     Inflation has not had a significant effect on the Company's operating
results.
