4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic Earnings Per Share was determined by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted
Earnings Per Share included these shares plus common stock equivalents
outstanding during the year. (Common stock equivalents are excluded if the
effects of inclusion are anti-dilutive.) Following is a reconciliation of the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period for basic and
diluted earnings per share.

5.  CONTINGENCIES

In 1996, the Company was named as a garnishee in a lawsuit against its largest
shareholder. 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.
Additionally, the Company was named in a lawsuit filed by two former employees
(the "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 had
filed a third party petition against one of these plaintiffs and a counterclaim
against the other plaintiff. All parties involved entered into a settlement on
April 15, 1999. Key terms of the settlement included, among other things, (a)
the former employees transferring 35,000 shares of the Company's common stock to
the Company, (b) the Company paying $20,000 to the former employees and their
attorney, (c) the Company obtaining a $5,000,000 judgment against one of the
former employees which will not be enforced and will expire on January 15, 2000
provided that the former employees abide by the terms of the settlement
agreement, (d) the former employees agreeing not to solicit any of the Company's
employees or customers for a period of two years, and (e) the parties executing
mutual releases of all claims against each of the parties involved. The Company
is also involved in certain other litigation and disputes. With respect to all
the aforementioned matters, management believes the claims 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. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On August 6, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the
outstanding stock of MOUNTAIN, LTD. ("Mountain"). The purchase price consists of
approximately $2,430,000 in cash, 75,000 shares of the Company's common stock
(subject to a lock-up agreement) and three annual deferred payments of
approximately $1,180,000 each, beginning October 1, 2000. The deferred payments
will be reduced up to 50% each if certain levels of profitability are not
maintained. Mountain is based in the Portland, Maine area and is engaged in
contract placements of technical and professional specialists, primarily in the
telecommunications industry. In connection with the acquisition, the Company
incurred acquisition costs amounting to approximately $337,000.

The Mountain acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting in accordance with APB 16. The results of the former Mountain
operations are included in the statement of operations beginning August 6,
1999. Goodwill is being amortized over twenty years utilizing the
straight-line method. The contingent deferred payments (approximately
$590,000 each) will be recorded as goodwill when earned.

The following unaudited pro forma results of operations for 1999 have been
prepared assuming the Mountain acquisition had taken place at the beginning of
the period. The following unaudited pro forma results of operations for 1998
have been prepared assuming the Mountain acquisition and the 1998 acquisition of
the Texcel companies had taken place at the beginning of the period. The results
of operations give effect to certain adjustments, including amortization of
intangible assets, interest effects of the transaction, income taxes and the
additional shares of common stock issued in the transaction. The pro forma
results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to
be indicative of results which may occur in the future.

8.  LINE OF CREDIT

On July 8, 1999, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement
with Compass Bank. The agreement permits borrowings of up to $4,500,000. The
borrowings are collateralized by the Company's accounts receivable and other
assets and are based upon a borrowing base as defined in the agreement. The
agreement also contains various financial and non-financial covenants.
Outstanding balances bear interest at the bank's index rate unless the Company
elects the LIBOR base rate plus 2 1/4% for specific advances under the
agreement. Interest is payable quarterly and all outstanding principal and
interest is due June 30, 2000. Borrowings at September 30, 1999 amounted to
$600,000, with a remaining balance of $3,900,000 available. The weighted average
interest rate on the borrowings was 8.18%.

9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's segment information has been presented in two reportable segments;
staffing services and training. The staffing services segment consists of three
functional lines; permanent placement, specialty services and contract

Corporate expenses (those not directly related to segment operations) are
allocated to the segments based upon net service revenues. Depreciation expense
and interest income and expense are not allocated directly to the segments, but
are included in the allocation of corporate expenses. Property and equipment are
included in the assets not allocated to segments. Net Service Revenues from one
customer represented approximately 10% and 17% of total staffing services
revenues in the third quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively. Revenues from that
same customer represented approximately 12% and 14% of total staffing services
revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net
Service Revenues from another customer represented approximately 7% of total
staffing services revenues in the third quarter of 1999.

                                 ======      ======        ======

For the quarter ended September 30, 1999, net service revenues increased $4.2
million, or 39%, to $14.9 million as compared to $10.7 million in the third
quarter ended September 30, 1998. Substantially all of this increase was
attributable to the inclusion of the revenue of companies acquired.
Specifically, revenue generated by the Texcel companies ("Texcel"), which were
acquired in October 1998 amounted to $2.0 million and an additional $2.0 million
of revenue was generated by the operations of Mountain, which were acquired in
August 1999. Revenue generated by the other operations of the Company's staffing
business were essentially the same as in the previous year period with gains in
some regions being offset by reductions in other regions. Revenue from training
operations doubled as compared to the previous year period and amounted to $0.5
million.

Net staffing services revenue increased $3.9 million, or 37%, to $14.4 million
in the third quarter of 1999, compared to $10.5 million in the third quarter of
1998. As a percentage of net revenue, revenue derived from permanent placements
comprised 46% of the revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to 51% of the revenue for the previous year period. The inclusion of
revenue for Texcel accounted for all of the increase in permanent placement
revenue. Contract placements revenue accounted for 37% of net service revenue
for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, as compared to 34% of the revenue for
the previous year period. The inclusion of revenue from Mountain accounted for
substantially all of the increase in contract placement revenue. Specialty
service revenue increased $0.7 million, or 48%, as compared to $1.4 million in
the third quarter of 1998.

As a result of the increase in revenue, total gross margin increased $1.1
million, or 33%, to $4.3 million in the third quarter of 1999, compared to $3.2
million in the third quarter of 1998. As a percentage of net service revenue,
the gross margin percentage for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 was 29%,
down 1% as compared to the previous year period. Gross margin for the staffing
services segment of the business increased $1.0 million, or 33%, to $4.1 million
in the third quarter of 1999, compared to $3.1 million in the third quarter of
1998. As a percentage of staffing services revenue, the gross margin percentage
for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 was 29%, down 1% as compared to the
previous year period. This decrease in margin is due largely to the fact that a
greater percentage of fiscal 1999 period revenue was generated from contract
placements, which are at lower margins than permanent placements, and the
inclusion of the results of the Mountain contract placement operations, which
generated a gross margin percentage of 18%. Gross margin for the training
segment of the business amounted to approximately $0.1 million in the third
quarter of 1999 and 1998. As a percentage of training revenue, the gross margin
percentage for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 was 30%, essentially the
same as experienced in the second quarter of fiscal 1999, but down from the 50%
gross margin achieved in the previous year period. Management believes, that as
the training segment expands its revenue base, it will continue to
achieve a gross margin at similar levels to that experienced in the quarter
ended September 30, 1999.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased $1.1 million, or
41%, to $3.9 million in the third quarter of 1999, as compared to $2.8 million
in the third quarter of 1998. A significant portion of the increase in SG&A was
attributed to the increase in revenue, as SG&A as a percentage of net service
revenue was essentially the same in both fiscal periods. In addition, the
Company incurred increased costs associated with the development of back office
support staffs and computer systems upgrades, as well as additional costs
associated with employee insurance escalation and increased rents. Management is
currently evaluating these increased costs and intends to achieve synergies in
fiscal year 2000 through consolidations and integration of back office functions
of its recent acquisitions. For the quarter ended September 30, 1999,
depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $0.3 million, an increase of
$0.2 million over the previous year period. This increase was due in part to
amortization expense related to the Company's acquisitions.

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


The Company reported other expense, principally interest expense, of $0.1
million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, which resulted from
borrowings and deferred payment obligations associated with the Company's
acquisitions of Texcel and Mountain. The Company reported interest income of
$0.1 million in the comparable 1998 quarter.

For the quarter ended September 30, 1999, income before taxes amounted to
$0.3 million, down $0.2 million as compared to the third quarter of fiscal
1998. The reduction in income before taxes is the result of several factors
noted above: (1) greater percentage of the current period revenue being
generated from contract placements and specialty services versus higher
margin permanent placements, (2) increased SG&A costs, as noted above and (3)
the incursion of interest expense from acquisitions. The training segment of
the business reported a loss before taxes of $0.2 million during the period
ended September 30, 1999 as compared to a loss of $0.3 million for the
previous year period.

Income tax expense was $0.1 million in the third quarter of 1999, compared to
approximately $0.2 million in the third quarter of 1998.

For the quarter ended September 30, 1999, net income amount to $0.2 million,
as compared to $0.3 in the third quarter of 1998.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net service revenue increased
$8.8 million, or 29%, to $39.0 million as compared to $30.2 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998. Substantially all of this increase was
attributable to the inclusion of the revenue of companies acquired.
Specifically, revenue generated by Texcel, which amounted to $5.9 million and
an additional $2.0 million of revenue was generated by the operations of
Mountain. Revenue generated by the other operations of the Company's staffing
business was essentially the same as in the previous year period with gains
in some regions being offset by reductions in other regions. Revenue from
training operations more than doubled as compared to the previous year period
and amounted to $1.3 million.

Net staffing services revenue increased $8.0 million, or 27%, to $37.7
million during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $29.7
million in the previous year period. As a percentage of net revenue, revenue
derived from permanent placements comprised 51% of the revenue for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to 53% of the revenue for the
previous year period. The inclusion of revenue for Texcel accounted for all
of the increase in permanent placement revenue. Contract placement revenue
accounted for 31% of net service revenue for the nine months ended September
30, 1999, as compared to 30% of the revenue for the previous year period. The
inclusion of revenue from Mountain accounted for $2.0 million of the increase
in contract placement revenue, with the remainder coming from the Company's
other operations. Specialty service revenue increased $1.0 million, or 22%,
over the previous year period. All of this increase was contributed by the
Texcel operations. Revenue generated by the Training segment increased $0.8
million, or 181%, and amounted to $1.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999.

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


As a result of the increase in revenue, total gross margin increased $2.2
million, or 24%, to $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 as compared to $9.1 million in the previous year period. As a percentage
of net service revenue, the gross margin percentage for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 was 29%, down 1% as compared to the previous year period.
Gross margin for the staffing services segment of the business increased $2.0
million, or 22%, to $10.9 million in the nine months ended September 30,
1999, compared to $8.9 million in the previous year period. As a percentage
of staffing services revenue, the gross margin percentage for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 was 29%, down 1% as compared to the previous year
period. This decrease is due largely to the fact that a larger percentage of
fiscal 1999 period revenue was generated from contract placements, which are
at lower margins than permanent placements, and the inclusion of the results
of the Mountain contract placement operations, which generated a gross margin
percentage of 18%. Gross margin for the training segment of the business
amounted to $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to $0.2 million in the previous year period. As a percentage of
training revenue, the gross margin percentage for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 was 31%, down from the 42% gross margin achieved in the
previous year period. The Company expects gross margin to continue at this
level as it increases its customer base and revenue stream.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased $2.8 million,
or 38%, to $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to $7.4 million in the previous year period. A significant portion
of the increase in SG&A was attributed to the increase in revenue. In
addition, the Company also incurred increased costs associated with the
development of back office support staffs and computer systems upgrades as
well as additional costs associated with employee insurance escalation and
increased rents. Management is currently evaluating these increased costs and
intends to achieve synergies in fiscal year 2000 through consolidations and
integration of back office functions of its recent acquisitions. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, depreciation and amortization expense
amounted to $0.9 million as compared to $0.4 million in the previous year
period. This increase was due in part to amortization expense related to the
Company's acquisitions.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company reported interest
expenses of $0.1 million, primarily associated with borrowings and deferred
payment obligations related to the Company's acquisitions of Texcel and
Mountain. The Company reported interest income of $0.3 million in the
previous year period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, income before taxes amounted to
$1.0 million, down $1.0 million as compared to the previous year period. The
reduction in income before taxes is the result of several factors: (1)
greater percentage of the current period revenue being generated from
contract placements and specialty services versus higher margin permanent
placements, (2) increased SG&A costs, as noted above, (3) increased losses
from training operations, and (4) the incursion of interest expense from
acquisitions.

Income tax expense was approximately $0.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to $0.7 million in the previous year period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net income amounted to $0.6
million, down $0.6 million from the previous year period.

                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (Continued)


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net cash flow from operating
activities of $0.6 million resulted primarily from the profitable operations
of the Company. This cash, combined with $2.3 million of existing cash on
hand (the net decrease in cash), $0.2 million of proceeds from the issuance
of capital stock and $0.6 million of net short-term borrowings under the
Company's new line of credit facility were used primarily to fund the
Mountain acquisition, which amounted to $2.8 million and capital expenditures
of $0.9 million, primarily for additional equipment associated with the
upgrade of the Company's computer systems.

After consideration of the above items, net working capital at September 30,
1999 amounted to $5.9 million as compared to $6.5 million at December 31,
1998.

The Company continues to evaluate various financing strategies to be utilized
in expanding its business and to fund future growth or acquisitions.
Management of the Company anticipates cash flows from operations and its line
of credit will provide adequate liquidity to fund its internal 1999 growth
plans and operations for the foreseeable future. The Company's internal 1999
growth plans include the expansion and improvement of its applicant database
and back office, and the expansion of profit centers in cities in which the
Company has existing offices. In addition, the Company continues to pursue
avenues for growth including, but not limited to, possible strategic
acquisitions. The Mountain acquisition (described in Note 7 to the
consolidated financial statements) is part of the Company's strategic
acquisition program and planned transition to a business model more focused
on contract placement. The Company will be required to obtain additional
financing through either debt or equity in order to consummate additional
significant acquisitions.

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



YEAR 2000 ISSUE

As a result of certain computer programs being written using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year, any of the Company's computer
programs that have date sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000 (the "Year 2000 Issue"). This could
result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of
operations, including among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices or engage in normal business activities.

The Company has made an assessment of the Year 2000 Issue and, as a result,
has replaced its accounting software so that the Company's computer system
will function properly with respect to the Year 2000 Issue. The cost of the
software and implementation to date was approximately $0.2 million. Because
the remainder of the Company's systems applications and hardware were built
on up-to-date client server architecture, they should require no
modifications with respect to the Year 2000 Issue. In addition, the Company
is communicating with key third party vendors to understand their ability to
minimize their own Year 2000 Issues. The Company intends to continue to
communicate with these vendors to avoid any business interruptions. The
Company is dependent upon its customers for revenues and cash flows. The
Company currently does not believe that it is subject to significant business
risks related to its customers' or vendors' Year 2000 Issues, although, if
the Company's customers and vendors experience Year 2000 Issue problems, the
Company's results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

The effect of the Year 2000 Issue on the Company is difficult to predict
because the Company's customers may utilize contract staffing as a way of
addressing their Year 2000 Issues. The Company will continue to monitor the
status of its key third party vendors as a means of determining risks and
alternatives. The Company is also in the process of completing a contingency
plan for dealing with the most reasonably likely worst case scenario.

ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER FROM FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this Quarterly Report on 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 within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 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 (the "Cautionary Disclosures") 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, including the ability to effectively integrate new
acquisitions; the level of litigation expenses; the level of developmental
expenses; the ability of the Company to adequately and cost-effectively
address the Year 2000 issue; those factors identified in the Company's
Prospectus dated September 30, 1997 as risk factors; and other factors that
affect businesses generally. Subsequent written and oral "forward-looking"
statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are
expressly qualified by the Cautionary Disclosures.

Business Acquisition

On August 6, 1999, the Company, MAGIC Northeast ("MNE"), a Delaware
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Joseph H. Hosmer
and Sandra Hosmer, shareholders of MOUNTAIN, LTD. ("Mountain"), entered into
a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") whereby MNE acquired all of
the outstanding capital stock of Mountain. The purchase price consisted of
approximately $2,430,000 in cash, 75,000 of the Company's Common Stock and
three annual deferred payments of approximately $1,180,000 each beginning
October 1, 2000. The deferred payments will be reduced if the level of 1998
adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
approximately $1,100,000, is not maintained. The reduction will be on a
pro-rata basis up to a maximum of 25% unless a service contract with a
specific customer is not renewed or cancelled, in which case the maximum
reduction will be 50%. Mountain is based in the Portland, Maine area and is
engaged in contract placements of technical and professional specialists,
primarily in the telecommunications industry.
