Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations for the Three Months ended March 31, 1999 compared to the
Three Months ended March 31, 1998.
Revenues
Revenues increased by approximately $ 397,000 or 3%. The increase in the quarter
ended March 31, 1999 is primarily due to the increase in temporary staffing
revenues as compared to the corresponding period in 1998.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased approximately 3% in the quarter ended March 31,
1999 as compared to the corresponding period in 1998. Compensation and other
benefits increased approximately 4% mainly due to increased compensation and
compensation related costs associated with the increase in revenues. Selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased slightly as compared to the
corresponding period in 1998.
Interest expense net of interest income increased slightly in 1999. There were
no borrowings under the Company's credit facility in 1999 and 1998.
Operating Results
Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 was approximately
$360,000 or $.11 basic earnings per common share and $.11 diluted earnings per
common share as compared to net income of approximately $355,000 or $.11 basic
earnings per common share and $.10 diluted earnings per common share in the
quarter ended March 31, 1998. The results reflect increased revenues being
partially offset by the increase in operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash provided by operating activities was $526,000 in 1999. In addition to net
income, cash flow from operating activities was affected by a decrease in
accounts receivable offset by increases in prepaid expenses and other current
assets, and decreased accounts payable and accrued expenses. In 1998, cash
provided by operating activities was $593,000. Working capital on March 31, 1999
was approximately $6,615,000 as compared to $6,296,000 on December 31, 1998.
Cash used in investing activities was $44,000 due to the purchase of property
and equipment and financing activities used cash of $3,000 (exercise of options
offset by the repayment of capital lease obligations) in 1999. The Company has
no material commitments for capital expenditures during 1999.
The Company has a secured credit facility providing for short-term advances to a
maximum of $6,000,000 based on up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable, as
defined, under which no amounts are outstanding.
Management believes that the Company's facility and cash from its operations
will be 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 salaries and wages increase.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements and information that is based on
management's beliefs and assumptions, as well as information currently available
to management. Such beliefs and assumptions are based on, among other things,
the Company's operating and financial performance over recent years and its
expectations about its business for the current fiscal year. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will
prove to be correct. Such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties
and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the possibility that (a)
prevailing economic conditions may significantly deteriorate, thereby reducing
the demand for the Company's services, (b) the Company might experience a
significant deterioration in its collection of accounts receivable and (c)
regulatory or legal changes might affect an employer's decision to utilize the
Company's services, although none of such risks are anticipated at the present
time. Should one or more of these or any other risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual
results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or expected.

Year 2000 Issues
The Company has assessed its computer information systems and has taken
necessary steps to ensure its systems are Year 2000 compliant. The Company's
computer systems consultants have represented to the Company in writing that, as
presently configured, the Company's systems are Year 2000 compliant. No special
costs were incurred in order to make the systems compliant, and the cost of
testing such compliance, which was completed at December 31, 1998, was not
material.
The Company also is in the process of determining the extent to which it may be
vulnerable to any failures by its service providers to resolve their own Year
2000 issues. The Company has initiated formal communications with such providers
and, at this time, has received formal written responses from a number of such
providers indicating that their systems are Year 2000 compliant. The Company is
continuing to collect such responses and will be developing such contingency
plans as it believes are warranted, based on such responses. At this time, the
Company is unable to estimate the extent of any adverse impact from failure by
these service providers with regard to Year 2000 compliance, and the nature by
which their problems might materially affect the Company's business, financial
condition or results of operations.
The Company has implemented a contingency plan involving creation of a back-up
computer capability as a result of which all of its systems and files will be
redundant so that if its principal offices in New York City become inaccessible,
its operations may be conducted from other Company offices located in New
Jersey. Such contingency plan was implemented in the first quarter of 1999.
Failure by the Company to eliminate Year 2000 problems within its computer
systems could result in a possible failure or miscalculations, causing
disruption of operations. Under a worst case scenario, such problems would be
addressed by manually processing data and transactions. However, this would
cause delays and additional costs to the administrative process. Further
contingency plans are being developed to address this issue.
Based upon the current information, the Company does not anticipate that, in the
aggregate, costs associated with the Year 2000 issue will have a material
financial impact. However there can be no assurances that, despite the steps
taken by the Company to insure that it and its customers and vendors are Year
2000 compliant, there will not be interruptions or other limitations of systems
functionality or that the Company will not incur significant costs to avoid such
interruptions or limitations. The Company's expectations about future costs
associated with the Year 2000 issue are subject to uncertainties that could
cause actual results to have a greater financial impact than currently
anticipated. Factors that could influence the amount and timing of future costs
include unanticipated vendor delays, technical difficulties, the impact of tests
of vendors' and customers' systems and similar events. If, despite the Company's
efforts under its Year 2000 planning, there are Year 2000-related failures that
create substantial disruptions to the Company's business, the adverse impact on
the business could be material.
