THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1998
REVENUES
Revenues increased 14.7% to $102,677,000 in the three months ended
September 30, 1999 from $89,499,000 in the three months ended September 30,
1998. Revenues from the acquisition of accounts in San Diego, California in
December 1998 accounted for approximately 20% of the additional revenue in the
third quarter of 1999 compared to the third quarter of 1998. The remainder of
the growth during the quarter came from internal sources which grew at a rate of
12%. The year to date internal growth rate is at 16%. New account sales tend to
slow in the third quarter as prospects may look to the first of the year as a
more appropriate time to begin a PEO relationship. New sales activity in the
Northwest region was also affected by reassignment of sales management
responsibilities in the third quarter of 1999.
-9-
<PAGE> 11
DIRECT COSTS/MARGIN
Direct costs increased 15.2% to $98,121,000 in the three months ended
September 30, 1999 from $85,184,000 in the three months ended September 30,
1998. Salaries and wages for worksite employees rose 14.5% while taxes and
insurance costs increased 20.9%. Margins were consistent between the second and
third quarters of 1999 at 4.4% of revenues.
EXPENSES
Total operating expenses increased 3.6% to $3,874,000 in the three
months ended September 30, 1999 from $3,739,000 in the three months ended
September 30, 1998. Salaries and wages declined 9.4% to $1,813,000 in the third
quarter of 1999 from $2,001,000 in the third quarter of 1998. Wages decreased as
a result of reallocation or reductions in administrative positions in connection
with the consolidation of functions to the corporate headquarters associated
with the conversion to the Company's new operating software. At September 30,
1999, 95% of the Company's worksite employees were being served by Company
locations operating on the new software. One Company location remains to be
converted to the new system which is scheduled to occur in the fourth quarter of
1999.
Reductions in executive level compensation of approximately $150,000 per
quarter have also had a significant effect on salary expense. Effective January
1, 1999, the Company's Chairman, CEO and founder resigned. The Company acquired
500,000 shares of common stock at $5 per share, the fair market value at that
date, in lieu of any other payments that may have been required under previous
employment agreements. Also, effective March 1, 1999, two executives from the
Oregon acquisition resigned their positions with a Company subsidiary. They
remain affiliated with the Company as independent marketing agents. The
President of the Company's California subsidiary also restructured his
arrangement with the Company. He remains under contract with the Company but now
is on a fee for services basis providing legal and consulting services to the
Company.

<PAGE> 12
Other general and administrative expenses rose 18.7% to $1,621,000 in
the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $1,365,000 in the three months
ended September 30, 1998 and increased to 1.6% of revenues in 1999 from 1.5% in
1998. This increase was due to internal growth of the Company, as well as
additional expenses related to the acquisition of business in San Diego. On a
year to date basis, these other operating expenses have increased 16% but have
declined from 1.6% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to
1.5% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Depreciation and amortization rose 18.0% to $440,000 in the three months
ended September 30, 1999 from $373,000 in the three months ended September 30,
1998. The increase comes from the amortization of the non-competition agreements
entered into with the former executives of the Oregon location and increased
depreciation from the ongoing investment in hardware and software for the new
payroll/operating system.
OPERATING INCOME
Primarily as a result of the lower administrative salaries and wages,
operating expenses declined to 3.8% of total revenues in 1999 from 4.1% in 1998
and operating income increased 18.5% to $682,000 in the three months ended
September 30, 1999 from $576,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1998.
INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE)
Net interest changed from income of $13,000 in the three months ended
September 30, 1998 to expense of $34,000 in the three months ended September 30,
1999. The 1999 results reflect interest expense from the $2,500,000 borrowed to
acquire 500,000 shares of common stock and $2,000,000 borrowed in mid-June and
placed in an interest bearing account. In the 1998 period, the Company had no
debt and had $2,500,000 invested in interest earning accounts.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income tax expense was $337,000 in the three months ended September 30,
1999 compared to $356,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1998. The
effective tax rate was 52.0% in 1999 compared to 60% in 1998. The effective tax
rate reflects the non-deductibility of goodwill amortization for income tax
purposes. The effect of non-deductible goodwill amortization on the effective
tax rate lessens as income before income taxes increases on a year-to-date
basis.
NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
Net income was $311,000 or $.07 per diluted share in the three months
ended September 30, 1999 compared to $233,000 or $.05 per diluted share in the
three months ended September 30, 1998. Average shares outstanding declined to
4,378,000 in the third quarter of 1999 from 4,795,000 in the third quarter of
1998 as a result of the repurchase by the Company of 500,000 shares in early
February 1999, offset by the issuance of 89,000 shares in April, 1999 from
escrow related to a 1998 acquisition.

<PAGE> 13
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1998
REVENUES
Revenues increased 20.9% to $294,711,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 from $243,589,000 in the nine months ended September 30,
1998. Approximately one-fourth of the increase came from acquisitions completed
in 1998. The remainder came from internal sources such as growth in the number
of employees and clients which indicates an internal growth rate of nearly 16%.
DIRECT COSTS/MARGIN
Direct costs increased 21.5% to $281,401,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 from $231,532,000 in the nine months ended September 30,
1998. Salaries and wages for worksite employees rose 20.9% while the costs of
taxes and insurances increased 26.8% primarily due to higher costs for workers'
compensation resulting from a lower benefit in 1999 from premium dividend
credits from the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation compared to 1998. Gross
profit increased 10.4% to $13,310,000 in the nine months ended September 30,
1999 from $12,057,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and declined
to 4.5% of revenues in the first half of 1999 compared to 5.0% of revenues in
the first half of 1998. The lower margin percentage in 1999 reflects the higher
workers' compensation costs and also the lower fees charged in the acquired
locations compared to the core business in the Midwest. As revenues from the
acquired locations have increased to more than 50% of total revenues, their
lower fees and margins have had a greater impact so as to reduce margin as a
percentage of revenues. The potential to increase fees charged at the acquired
locations remains as an opportunity for revenue and margin expansion.
EXPENSES
Total operating expenses increased 5.4% to $11,403,000 in the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 from $10,818,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. Administrative salaries and wages declined 4.4% to
$5,596,000 in 1999 from $5,855,000 in 1998. Wages decreased as a result of
reallocation or reductions in administrative positions as a result of the
consolidation of functions to the corporate headquarters in connection with, or
in anticipation of, the conversion to the Company's new operating software.
Reductions in executive level compensation have also had a significant
effect on salary expense. Effective January 1, 1999, the Company's Chairman, CEO
and founder resigned. The Company acquired 500,000 shares of common stock at $5
per share, the fair market value at that date, in lieu of any other payments
that may have been required under previous employment agreements. Also,
effective March 1, 1999, two executives from the Oregon acquisition resigned
their positions with the Company. They remain affiliated with the Company as
independent marketing agents. Also, in mid 1998, the Company's Chief
Administrative Officer left the Company. Those responsibilities were re-assigned
internally.

The President of the Company's California subsidiary also restructured
his arrangement with the Company. He remains under contract with the Company but
now is on a fee for services basis providing legal and consulting services to
the Company.
Other general and administrative expenses rose 15.9% to $4,498,000, or
1.5% of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $3,882,000, or
1.6% of revenue, in the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This increase in
other operating expenses was less than the 20.9% growth in the business during
the period due to lower spending on marketing and other discretionary costs.
Depreciation and amortization rose 21.1% to $1,310,000 in the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 from $1,081,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. The increase comes from the amortization of goodwill from
the acquisitions completed in 1998 and the depreciation arising from the
additional hardware and software for the TEAM Direct(TM) operating system.
OPERATING INCOME
The Company's operating income increased by $668,000 to $1,907,000 as a
result of the internal growth and acquisitions of the Company. Gross margins
increased by $1,253,000 and expenses increased by $585,000.
INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE)
Net interest changed from income of $92,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 to expense of $71,000 in the nine months ended September 30,
1999. The 1999 results reflect interest expense from the $2,500,000 borrowed to
acquire 500,000 shares of common stock, while interest income was lower as funds
remaining from the Company's December 1996 initial public offering had declined
to approximately $1,500,000 at December 31, 1998 and $1,200,000 at September 30,
1999, from $2,500,000 at September 30, 1998.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income tax expense was $1,034,000 in the nine months ended September 30,
1999 compared to $850,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The
effective tax rate was 56.3% in 1999 compared to 63.9% in 1998. The effective
tax rate reflects the non-deductibility of goodwill amortization for income tax
purposes. The effect of non-deductible goodwill amortization on the effective
tax rate lessens as income before income taxes increases.
NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
Net income was $802,000 or $.18 per diluted share in the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 compared to $481,000 or $.10 per diluted share in the
nine months ended September 30, 1998. Average shares outstanding declined to
4,422,000 in 1999 from 4,928,000 in 1998 as a result of the repurchase by the
Company of 500,000 shares in early February 1999, offset by the issuance of
89,000 shares in April, 1999 from escrow related to a 1998 acquisition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 1999, the Company had a working capital surplus of
$797,000. At December 31, 1998, the working capital surplus was $2,055,000. The
change in working capital is primarily due to the use of cash and an increase in
short-term borrowing to acquire $2.5 million of treasury stock in the first
quarter of 1999.
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 operating activities was $2,421,000 and $695,000
for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
increase in cash provided by operating activities was from an increase in net
income from $320,000, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $229,000
and the $1,197,000 reduction in the change in operating assets net of the change
in operating liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $2,514,000 in the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 compared to $2,563,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. The 1998 period reflected increased activity for the
acquisition of other businesses and development expenses and hardware
acquisitions for TEAM Direct(TM). There were no acquisitions in 1999 and the
TEAM Direct(TM) investment needs were less during the quarter as the activity
shifted towards implementation and away from new development. In 1999, $210,000
was paid to former executives of the Company's location in Oregon for covenants
not to compete in connection with their resignation from the Company. In the
second quarter of 1999, $2,000,000 was borrowed from a bank and is fully
collateralized by a certificate of deposit which was recorded in short-term
investments. The certificate of deposit and the related borrowing were retired
in October 1999.
Financing activities historically have not been significant for the
Company. However, during the first quarter of 1999, the Company acquired 500,000
shares of common stock from its former Chairman and founder. The Company
borrowed $800,000 on its line of credit with a bank towards the acquisition of
the shares. The borrowing bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%. The ninety day
fixed rate was 7.76% on the balance outstanding on September 30, 1999. The
Company also gave a $1,700,000 promissory note with a 5.75% interest rate to the
former chairman with $700,000 due upon demand, and $1,000,000 is due on February
19, 2000. $650,000 was repaid on the note prior to September 30, 1999 and an
additional $50,000 was repaid on October 1, 1999.
The Company did not make any other purchases of treasury stock during
1999. In September 1998 the Company's Board of Directors authorized a 200,000
share repurchase. Between September 1998 and December 1998, 60,000 shares were
repurchased.
-14-
<PAGE> 16
In connection with an acquisition in 1997, the Company guaranteed the
price of 68,468 shares at $10.25 per share. During 1999, $240,567 was paid to
one of the holders of the shares under this guarantee arrangement.
Presently, the Company has no material commitments for capital
expenditures. Primary uses of cash may include acquisitions, the size and timing
of which cannot be predicted. However, the Company is limited in its ability to
acquire other PEO companies unless it can raise additional capital since most
acquisitions involve the payment of cash and the issuance of stock for the
purchase price and may also require some additional working capital following
acquisition.
In July 1998, the Company obtained a $10,000,000 revolving credit
agreement with a bank. The credit agreement provided for borrowings at the prime
rate or LIBOR plus 2.25%. 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. $800,000 was borrowed on
February 11, 1999 on this facility. The Company renewed this line of credit
commitment for $3,500,000 in August 1999.
The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and
internally generated funds will be sufficient to meet the Company's presently
anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements, excluding
acquisitions of other PEO's for the for at least the next twelve months. As of
December 31, 1999, the Company had $3,087,051 in cash and cash equivalents. To
the extent that the Company needs additional capital resources, the Company
believes that it will have access to bank financing and other alternative
sources of capital. However, there can be no assurances that additional
financing will be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all.
The Company did not pay dividends in 1996, 1997, 1998, or through the
third quarter of 1999, and does not expect to pay a dividend in the foreseeable
future.
INFLATION
The Company believes the effects of inflation have not had a significant
impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
YEAR 2000
STATE OF READINESS
The Company's primary business is the delivery of payroll and HR
services to a widely diverse and geographically dispersed small business
clientele. The Company's data processing systems are integral and critical to
the efficient and effective delivery of its services. More specifically, the
Company relies on these systems for preparing and processing client payrolls,
payroll tax filings, benefits plan activities, insurance costs and client
invoicing.
Beginning in 1996, the Company began developing a new system that would
better meet the needs of a rapidly growing company and that would also improve
client service and operational efficiency. This new system is TEAM Direct(TM).
-15-
<PAGE> 17
Although this systems project was not embarked upon to address the Year 2000
issue, the result of this project is that TEAM Direct(TM) has been designed to
be Year 2000 compliant. The Company believes TEAM Direct(TM) is Year 2000
compliant in all respects. The Company has tested the system for Year 2000
compliance and is satisfied that the system is Y2K compliant.
Since September 1997, the Company has acquired eight PEO's outside of
Ohio. These companies have operated on their own systems since being acquired.
Their systems have not been evaluated for Year 2000 compliance because they will
be converted to TEAM Direct(TM) before the year 2000. As of October 31, 1999
only one acquired location remains to be converted to TEAM Direct(TM).
The Company believes it does not have any non-IT Systems that would
result in a material adverse impact to the Company if they are not Year 2000
compliant.
The Company relies upon large regional banks to process its electronic
and non-electronic banking and disbursement activities. It also contracts with
large well-known national and regional insurance carriers to provide and/or
administer its employee benefits plans and insurance programs. The Company has
not specifically approached these institutions about their ability to handle the
Company's business transactions in the Year 2000. The Company has received
correspondence from its primary providers and banks that indicate they are or
will be substantially Y2K compliant.
The Company's customer base is primarily small businesses located
throughout the mid-west, south and western regions of the United States. No one
client is material to the Company's operations. The Company has not evaluated
the extent of Year 2000 readiness by its customers.
The Company believes it has adequate alternative sources to maintain
systems processing in the event of a temporary disruption of electric utility
service at its main corporate headquarters. It also has alternative means of
transmitting data, etc. if either of the Internet or its private frame relay is
not enabled because of vendor Y2K problems. If neither the Internet nor the
private frame relay are operational the Company's business could be adversely
affected. Similarly, the loss of telephone service for an extended period at the
Company's headquarters facility or at its service locations could adversely
affect operations and ultimately the profitability of the Company.
The Company believes that the disruption of electric utility service at
any of its locations outside of its main corporate office would not have a
material effect on its operations as long as either Internet or phone access is
possible. More than a temporary disruption of both phone service or Internet
service nationally or regionally would adversely affect the Company's operations
and ultimately its profitability.
COSTS
The Company has not separately identified costs associated with Year
2000 compliance because it has not undertaken Year 2000 compliance as a specific
project and has not employed outside consultants, etc. to address Year 2000
compliance. The Company believes that its development of TEAMDirect(TM) will
result in its primary operating systems being Year 2000 compliant.
-16-
<PAGE> 18
RISKS OF FAILURE
The Company believes that if its primary operating system is not Year
2000 compliant, or if its banking and insurance vendors are not Year 2000
compliant, there would be significant material adverse consequences. The Company
could have difficulty meeting its obligations to its clients to provide timely
payrolls and administer employee benefits and insurance programs. This could
result in lost business and/or significant increases in operating costs which
may not be recoverable through price increases to our clients. The potential
loss of business or increases in costs could have a material adverse effect on
the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
CONTINGENCY PLAN
While the Company believes that its internal technology systems are Year
2000 compliant, there are risks in connection with the loss of electric utility
service or telecommunication service. As of November 1999, the Company has not
developed a contingency plan to address needed actions in the event of failure
of its systems or significant vendor systems to be Year 2000 compliant.
QUARTERLY RESULTS
The following table sets forth certain unaudited operating results of
each of the eleven consecutive quarters for the period ended September 30, 1999.
