                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
    consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only
    of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) necessary to present fairly
    the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 1997, the results of
    its operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 and
    changes in its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
    1996.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
    statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
    instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not
    include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
    accounting principles for complete financial statements.  Operating results
    for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of
    operating results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
    1997.  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should
    be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
    the year ended December 31, 1996.

2.  Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of
    common shares outstanding.  Common stock equivalents assuming the exercise
    of stock options, are included in the calculation of net income per share
    when there is a dilutive effect.

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
    No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on December
    31, 1997.  At that time, the Company will be required to change the method
    currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior
    periods.  Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per
    share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.  The impact
    is expected to result in no increase in primary earnings per share for the
    first quarter ended March 31, 1997 and an increase for the quarter ended
    March 31, 1996 of $.01 per share.  The impact of Statement No. 128 on the
    calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for these quarters is not
    expected to be material.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996.

REVENUES

Revenues increased by approximately $1,649,000 or 18%.  The increase in the
quarter ended March 31 1997 is primarily due to the increase in temporary
staffing and placement fees revenues of 15% and 17%, respectively as compared to
the corresponding period in 1996.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses increased approximately 18% in the quarter ended March 31,
1997 as compared to the corresponding period in 1996.  Compensation and other
benefits increased approximately 15% mainly due to increased compensation and
compensation related costs associated with the increase in revenues.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased 28% due to additions to the sales
force, commissions related to increased revenues, advertising, professional fees
and other costs related to maintaining the Company's branch operations.

Net interest expense decreased during 1997 due mainly to a lack of borrowings
under the Company's credit facility when compared to 1996.

The effective tax rate utilized was 45% for the three months ended March 31,
1997 as compared to 34% in the corresponding period in 1996.  The lower prior
year rate was attributable to an income tax benefit as a result of a reduction
in the valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets that became
realizable.

OPERATING RESULTS

Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 was approximately
$226,000 or $.07 per common share as compared to net income of approximately
$166,000 or $.05 per common share in the quarter ended March 31, 1996.  The
results reflect increased revenues partially being offset by the increase in
operating expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital at March 31, 1997 was approximately $3,386,000 as compared to
$3,248,000 at December 31, 1996.  Cash used in operating activities during the
three months ended March 31, 1997 was $646,000 primarily a result of a cash
payment of income taxes and an increase in accounts receivable.  The increase in
accounts receivable was due to increased revenues.  The Company has no material
commitments for capital expenditures during 1997.  Cash used in investing
activities, purchase of fixed assets and financing activities, primarily
repayment of capital lease obligations amounted to $90,000 and $14,000,
respectively.  Management believes that the Company's $6,000,000 credit
facility, working capital and internally generated funds are sufficient to
support current operations and any currently foreseeable increase in activity.

INFLATION

To date, the impact of inflation and changing prices on the Company's business
has been minimal.  The Company charges its customers percentages of the salaries
and wages of permanent and temporary employees, which causes its fee income to
increase proportionately as salary and wages increase.
