necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of TEAM America Corporation.

NOTE 2 -- Accounting Policies

         The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements contained in TEAM America Corporation's Form 10-K Annual
Report for the year ended December 31, 1996. Since December 31, 1996, the
Company acquired PEO businesses in transactions accounted for as purchases.
Intangible assets recorded as a result of the purchase were covenants not to
compete, which are amortized over their stated life of seven years, and
goodwill. Goodwill was recorded as the amount by which the consideration paid,
including the value of stock issued and liabilities assumed, exceeded the fair
market value of assets acquired. Goodwill is being amortized over a twenty-five
year period.

THREE MONTHS ENDED  SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED  SEPTEMBER
30, 1996 

REVENUES

         Revenues increased $11,894,000 or 48% in the three months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996.
Worksite employees, excluding certain seasonal employees and the employees at
Workforce Strategies which was acquired September 8, 1997, increased 37% from
3,254 at September 30, 1996 to 4,465 at September 30, 1997. Total worksite
employees including the Workforce acquisition increased to nearly 6,300 at
September 30, 1997 from 3,600 at December 31, 1996.





                                       10
<PAGE>   11

         Average annualized wages per worksite employee increased 3.6% to
$26,912 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $25,975 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996. The average annualized wage per employee is
down slightly from the 1996 average of over $27,000 due to a higher mix of
manufacturing based clients added as a result of the AEM acquisition on April 1,
1997.

DIRECT COSTS

         Salaries and wages rose 50% to $31,765,000 in the three months ended
September 30, 1997 from $21,130,000 in the three months ended September 30,
1996. Payroll taxes, etc., rose 45% to $3,236,000 in the third quarter of 1997
from $2,226,000 in the third quarter of 1996. The increase in salaries and wages
in 1997's third quarter was in line with the increased headcount. The increase
in the cost of payroll taxes and benefits primarily reflects higher costs for
the Company's Ohio workers' compensation program in the third quarter of 1997.

EXPENSES

         Administrative salaries expense rose 35% to $863,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from $640,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 as the Company continued to add headcount to support the
growth of the Company. Other general and administrative expenses rose 18% from
the third quarter of 1996 to the third quarter of 1997 as the result of higher
external expenses to support a larger public entity.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

         As a result of the decrease in gross profit and higher operating
expenses, income from operations decreased 46% to $152,000 in the three months
ended September 30, 1997 from $284,000 in the three months ended September 30,
1996.

OTHER INCOME

         Other income of $148,000 consists principally of interest income and
earnings on short-term investments and temporary cash investments. The
investments represent the cash proceeds from the initial public offering of TEAM
America stock in December 1996. There were no excess cash investments in the
corresponding third quarter of 1996.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

         Income tax expense rose 21% from the third quarter of 1996 to the third
quarter of 1997. The effective tax rate was 42% for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to 36% for the three months ended September 30,
1996. The effective tax rate for all of calendar 1996 was 42.3%. The lower tax
rate in 1997 reflects the tax-exempt investment income in 1997 and the lessened
impact of non-deductible life insurance premiums due to increased pre-tax income
in 1997.


                                       11
<PAGE>   12


NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Net income decreased $13,000 or 7% from the three months ended
September 30, 1996 to the three months ended September 30, 1997 due to the lower
gross profit and higher operating expenses offset by higher investment income.
Earnings per share in the third quarter of 1997 decreased 44% from the third
quarter of 1996 because average shares outstanding increased from 2,089,000 in
the third quarter of 1996 to 3,502,000 in the third quarter of 1997, or 68%,
following the initial public offering of 1,250,000 shares of TEAM America stock
in December 1996 and shares issued in the acquisitions in March and September
1997. Basic earnings per share, as calculated in accordance with FASB Statement
No. 128, is the same as earnings per share presented in the accompanying
financial statements.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1996 

REVENUES

         Revenues increased $24,345,000 or 35% in the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The
year-to-date average number of worksite employees, excluding certain seasonal
employees and the Workforce employees, increased 22% from 3,226 at September 30,
1996 to 3,934 at September 30, 1997. The average annualized wages per worksite
employee increased 9.6% to $26,735 in 1997 from $24,400 in 1996 reflecting a
continued emphasis on attracting new clients in higher paying industries.

DIRECT COSTS

         Salaries and wages rose 37% to $80,605,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from $59,017,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
Payroll taxes, etc., rose only 26% to $8,538,000 in from $6,789,000 in 1996. The
increase in salaries and wages was in line with the increased revenues. Payroll
taxes and benefits costs rose only 26% as a result of the Company's risk
management efforts and a 20% premium credit dividend from the State of Ohio
worker's compensation fund during the first six months of 1997.

EXPENSES

         Administrative salaries expense rose 28% to $2,423,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 from $1,895,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as the Company continued to add headcount to support the
growth of the Company. Other general and administrative expenses also rose 28%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as the result of higher external expenses related to being a
public company, higher facilities costs and expenses to support a larger
organization and staff.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

         As a result of the 26% increase in gross profit, offset by higher
operating expenses, income from operations increased only 4% to $808,000 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $774,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.


                                       12

OTHER INCOME

         Other income of $441,000 consists principally of interest income and
earnings on short-term investments and temporary cash investments. The
investments represent the cash proceeds from the initial public offering of TEAM
America stock in December 1996. There were no excess cash investments in the
corresponding period of 1996.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

         Income tax expense rose 55% from 1996 to 1997. The effective tax rate
was 41% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 42% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. The effective tax rate for all of calendar
1996 was 42.3%. The lower tax rate in 1997 reflects the tax-exempt investment
income in 1997 and the lessened impact of non-deductible life insurance premiums
due to increased pre-tax income in 1997.

NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Net income increased $280,000 or 62% from the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 to the nine months ended September 30, 1997 due to the higher
revenues and investment income. Earnings per share were flat between the periods
because average shares outstanding increased from 2,089,000 in 1996 to 3,355,000
in 1997, following the initial public offering of 1,250,000 shares of TEAM
America stock in December 1996 and shares issued in acquisitions in March, 1997
and September, 1997. Basic earnings per share, as calculated in accordance with
FASB Statement No. 128, is the same as earnings per share presented in the
accompanying financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At September 30, 1997, the Company had a working capital surplus of
$8,947,000. At December 31, 1996, the working capital surplus was $13,484,000.

         The Company's primary source of liquidity and capital resources has
historically been its internal cash flow from operations. In addition, in
December 1996, net cash of $13,314,000 was provided from an initial public
offering of Company stock. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
was $(196,000) and $23,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively.

         The Company recognizes as revenue and as unbilled receivables, on an
accrual basis, any such amounts which relate to services performed by worksite
employees as of the end of each accounting period which have not yet been billed
to the client because of timing differences between the day the Company's
accounting period ends and the billing dates for client payroll periods that
include the day the Company's accounting period ends. The amount of unbilled
receivables, as well as accrued liabilities and client deposits, have increased
with the general growth of the Company.


                                       13
<PAGE>   14

         For work performed prior to the termination of a client agreement, the
Company may be obligated, as an employer, to pay the gross salaries and wages of
the client's worksite employees and the related employment taxes and workers'
compensation costs, whether or not the Company's client pays the Company on a
timely basis or at all. The Company, however, historically has not incurred
significant bad debt expenses because the Company generally collects from its
clients all revenues with respect to each payroll period in advance of the
Company's payment of the direct costs associated therewith. The Company attempts
to minimize its credit risk by investigating and monitoring the credit history
and financial strength of its clients and by generally requiring payments to be
made by wire transfer, immediately available funds or ACH transfer. With respect
to ACH transfers, the Company is obligated to pay the client's worksite
employees if there are insufficient funds in the client's bank account on the
payroll date. The Company's policy, however, is only to permit clients with a
proven credit history with the Company to pay by ACH transfer. In addition, in
the rare event of nonpayment by a client, the Company has the ability to
terminate immediately its contract with the client. The Company also protects
itself by obtaining unconditional personal guaranties from the owners of a
client and/or a cash security deposit, bank letter of credit or pledge of
certificates of deposit. As of September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company held
cash security deposits in the amounts of $504,000 and $470,000, respectively.

         Additional sources of funds to the Company are advance payments of
employment taxes and insurance premiums which the Company holds until they are
due and payable to the respective taxing authorities and insurance providers.

         Net cash used in investing activities was $922,000 and $339,000 for the
nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
principal use of cash from investing activities was the purchase of additional
computer equipment and software to support the growth of the business. In March
and April, 1997 $289,485 was paid for the acquisition of AEM, a PEO located in
Dover, Ohio. The 40,615 shares of TEAM America stock with a value of $394,000
were also issued from treasury stock to the shareholders of AEM as part of the
purchase price. Fifty percent of the shares of TEAM America stock has been
deposited in an escrow account at a bank. The shares will be released from
escrow in 1998, 1999 and 2000 subject to the satisfaction of covenants
pertaining to retention of worksite employees and fees. In September, 1997
approximately 495,000 shares of TEAM America stock and 176,000 options to
acquire shares of TEAM America stock at $8.50 per share were issued to the
shareholders of Workforce to acquire that PEO. In addition $2,133,000 was paid
in September and $1,954,000 is payable at September 30, 1997 to the shareholders
of Workforce and to others for the acquisition of Workforce and certain costs
related thereto.

         Two acquisitions of PEO's were completed subsequent to September 30,
1997. Total cash paid in these acquisitions was $4,105,000. Also 796,000 shares
of TEAM America stock was issued in these transactions along with 333,333
options to acquire additional TEAM America stock at $11.00 per share.

         The principal source of cash provided by investing activities was the
maturation of short-term investment instruments which were reinvested in
temporary cash investments at September 30, 1997 or used towards the
acquisitions of AEM and Workforce.




                                       14
<PAGE>   15


         Financing activities are not material as the Company has no debt or
significant capital leases.

         Presently, the Company has no material commitments for capital
expenditures. Primary new uses of cash may include acquisitions, the size and
timing of which cannot be predicted.

         The Company had executed a $500,000 promissory note to a bank which, at
the bank's sole discretion, would allow the Company to obtain loans up to such
amount without negotiating or executing any further agreements. Borrowings under
this credit facility are payable upon demand and bear interest at the bank's
prime rate (8.25% at September 30, 1997). As of September 30, 1997 and 1996, no
borrowings were outstanding under this credit facility. In July 1997 this credit
facility was replaced by a $5,000,000 revolving credit agreement with a bank.
The credit agreement provides for borrowings at the prime rate or LIBOR plus 2%.
The credit agreement requires the Company to maintain certain financial
standards as to net worth, current ratio and cash position and also requires the
bank's consent to acquisitions. There were no borrowings under the revolving
credit agreement in the third quarter.

         The Company believes that the net proceeds from the sale of the common
shares in December 1996 which were invested in marketable securities and
certificates of deposit, together with existing cash, cash equivalents and
internally generated funds will be sufficient to meet the Company's presently
anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements both for the
next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. To the extent that
the Company needs additional capital resources, the Company believes that it
will have access to both bank financing and capital leasing for additional
facilities and equipment. However, there can be no assurance that additional
financing will be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all.

         The Company did not pay dividends in 1996, or thus far in 1997, and
does not expect to pay a dividend in the foreseeable future.

         The Company believes the effects of inflation have not had a
significant impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
