            NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The  consolidated financial statements are unaudited and  reflect
     all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
     which  are,  in the opinion of management, necessary for  a  fair
     presentation of the financial position and operating results  for
     the interim periods.  The consolidated financial statements as of
     December  31,  1995  have  been derived  from  audited  financial
     statements, the report on which included an explanatory paragraph
     describing  uncertainties  concerning the  Company's  ability  to
     continue   as  a  going  concern.   The  consolidated   financial
     statements  should  be  read in conjunction  with  the  financial
     statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form  10-
     KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.  The results  of
     operations  for  the  six months ended  June  30,  1996  are  not
     necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal  year
     ending December 31, 1996.
     
          

2.   EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

     In April 1996, warrants to purchase 6,250 shares of common stock
     were exercised providing net proceeds of  approximately $13,000.
     In  addition,  the  Company incurred approximately  $131,000  of
     offering  costs relating to an S-3 registration statement  which
     was declared effective in April 1996.  These offering costs were
     charged against Additional paid-in-capital.

     On  July  17,  1996 the Registrant completed the acquisition  of
     certain assets of STAT through the issuance of 200,000 shares of
     International  Nursing  Services,  Inc.  ("NURS")  common  stock
     valued at $1.88 per share, $1,550,000 cash and the issuance of a
     warrant to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company's common stock
     at  $1.88  per share.   NURS is obligated to file a registration
     statement  covering  the  shares  of  common  stock  issued   in
     connection  with  the acquisition, including  the  common  stock
     covered by the warrant by November 14, 1996.

     The  assets  acquired  consisted  of  approximately  $10,000  of
     property and equipment.  The remainder of the purchase price  is
     allocated  to the current value of the future cash flow  of  the
     operations  of  STAT.  STAT is a home health care  provider  and
     NURS  intends to continue the business of STAT and  to  use  the
     assets  accordingly.  The funding for the cash  portion  of  the
     acquisition  price  was  provided by  funds  received  from  the
     private placement described below.

     Concurrent  with  the  acquisition of  STAT,  the  Company  also
     closed  a  private placement of 189 units at $10,000  per  unit,
     each  unit  consisting  of a new class of convertible  preferred
     stock which is convertible prior to December 31, 1997 to $10,000
     worth  of  common stock of the Company at a conversion price  of
     the  lesser  of  $1.25 per share or 75% of the  prior  five  day
     average closing price and a warrant to purchase 8,000 shares  of
     the Company's common stock at $2.50 per share.  The new class of
     convertible  preferred  stock carries  a  10%  dividend  payable
     quarterly  (which may increase to 18% in certain  circumstances)
     and  a  liquidation preference of $10,000 per  share.   NURS  is
     obligated  to file a registration statement covering the  common
     stock  underlying the new class of convertible  preferred  stock
     and the warrant by November 14, 1996

     Investors  in the private placement also received an  option  to
     purchase  an equivalent number of units until December 31,  1997
     on  equivalent terms.  The private placement raised net proceeds
     to the Company of approximately $1,800,000.

     In connection with the Company's acquisition of Ellis Home Health
     Services,  Inc.  ("Ellis")  in April  1996,  the  Company  issued
     256,250 shares of its common stock to the former owner of  Ellis.
     The Company guaranteed that the seller of Ellis would receive  at
     least  $4.00 per share on the sale of these shares,  and  if  the
     shares  were sold for less than the $4.00 per share, the  Company
     agreed to either issue additional shares or pay the shortfall  in
     cash.   During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the former  owner
     of  Ellis sold 63,000 shares at below the $4.00 guaranteed  price
     and  therefore the Company has recorded a liability to the former
     owner  of Ellis of approximately $100,000.  This was recorded  as
     an adjustment to the previous recorded stock value issued for the
     acquisition.
     

3.   STOCK OPTIONS

     In  July  1996,  the Company granted options to purchase  250,000
     shares  of  common stock to employees of the Company, 200,000  of
     which  were issued to officers of the Company, under an  employee
     stock  option plan at an exercise price of $1.88, which  was  the
     fair  market  value at the date of the grant.  In  addition,  the
     Company  canceled an option to purchase 50,000  shares  at  $3.06
     which  was issued to an officer of the Company in March 1996  and
     replaced the canceled option with an option to purchase the  same
     number of shares at $1.88, which was the fair market value at the
     time of the issuance.

     
Item  2:   Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and
Results of Operations

      This  filing contains certain forward-looking statements  within
the  meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and  Section
21E  of  the  Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company  intends
that  such  forward-looking statements be subject to the safe  harbors
created  thereby.  These forward-looking statements include the  plans
and  objectives  of  the  management for future operations,  including
plans  and  objectives  relating to services  offered  by  and  future
economic performance of the Company.


      The  forward-looking statements included  herein  are  based  on
current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
These  forward-looking statements are based on  assumptions  that  the
Company  will  continue to be able to provide on a cost effective  and
competitive  basis  quality  home health  care  and  interim  staffing
services,  that  the  regulatory environment governing  the  Company's
industry  will not change in ways that are materially adverse  to  the
Company  and its operations, that the Company will be able to continue
to  fund operations, that the Company will be able to raise additional
equity  capital if required to fund operations and acquisitions,  that
the  Company will be able to achieve operating efficiencies  resulting
in  cost reductions, that a sufficient supply of qualified health care
personnel  will  be  available to the Company for  deployment  in  the
health  care  industry on a competitive and cost effective  basis  and
that  there will be no material adverse change in the demand  for  the
Company's  services  or  in  the  Company's  operations  or  business.
Assumptions  relating to the foregoing involve judgments with  respect
to,  among  other  things,  future economic,  competitive  and  market
conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are  difficult
or  impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond  the
control of the Company.  Although the Company believes the assumptions
underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any  of  the
assumptions  could prove inaccurate, and therefore, there  can  be  no
assurance   that  the  results  contemplated  in  the  forward-looking
statements will be realized.  In addition, the business and operations
of  the  Company are subject to substantial risks which  increase  the
uncertainty inherent in such forward-looking statements.

      Important  factors to be considered in connection with  forward-
looking statements include, without limitation, (a) the fact that  the
Company reported net losses in fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1995 and had  an
accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit in fiscal  1995  and
at  June  30,  1996;  (b) the Company's lack of  working  capital  may
require  the  Company to raise additional equity or debt financing  in
order  to  fund  operations and the cash portion  of  purchase  prices
payable in connection with acquisitions and the Company may be  unable
to raise such debt or equity financing; (c) the current uncertainty in
the  health care industry and government health care reform  proposals
considered  from  time  to time may adversely  affect  the  regulatory
environment in which the Company operates and specifically affect  the
reimbursement rate payable under government programs such as  Medicare
and  Medicaid, potentially resulting in decreased revenues  from  home
care  services; (d) the Company's dependence on customer relationships
makes  the  Company  vulnerable to consolidation in  the  health  care

Results of Operations

Comparison of three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

      The  Company generated approximately $3,216,000 in revenues from
operations   for  the  quarter  ended  June  30,  1996,  compared   to
approximately  $3,258,000 in revenue for the second quarter  of  1995.
The  decrease  in  sales for the quarter was due  to  an  increase  of
competition  in  the  Texas  market  from  consolidating  health  care
providers  which  resulted in employee turnover in administration  and
field staff and an approximate 40% drop in revenues from Texas.   This
decrease  was  offset by revenues from the acquisition of  Ellis  Home
Care  of  approximately $577,000 which was included  in  net  revenues
beginning February 1, 1996.

      The Company's gross margin percentage increased from 16% for the
quarter  ended  June 30, 1995 to 25% for the quarter  ended  June  30,
1996.   The  increase  was  due  to approximately  32%  gross  margins
achieved  by  its newly acquired Ellis Home Care division  and  a  new
rehabilitation  consulting division which provided  gross  margins  of
well  over  50%.  The decreased revenue in Texas and the  addition  of
high-margin business in Denver and New York provided the Company  with
approximately $282,000 of increased gross margin in the quarter  ended
June 30, 1996 versus the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased  for  the
quarter  ended  June  30, 1996 by approximately  $392,000  or  34%  as
compared  to  the  quarter  ended June 30,  1995.   The  decrease  was
primarily attributable to the effort by management to reduce corporate
overhead  during  1995 by installing a new computer system  which  was
fully implemented in 1996, reducing employee headcount and terminating
certain  highly paid management personnel.   In addition, the  Company
wrote  off approximately $200,000 in acquisition-related costs in  the
quarter ended June 30, 1995 due to the termination of the pursuit of a
potential acquisition.

      Net income (loss) improved from a $1,092,000 loss in the quarter
ended June 30, 1995 to a net loss of $61,000 in the quarter ended June
30,  1996.   The  decreased  loss  was  attributable  to  the  factors
discussed above.

 Comparison of six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

      The  Company generated approximately $6,580,000 in revenues from
operations  for  the  six  months ended June  30,  1996,  compared  to
approximately $7,124,000 in revenue for 1995.  The decrease  in  sales
for  the  quarter was due to an increase of competition in  the  Texas
market  from  consolidating health care providers  which  resulted  in
employee  turnover  in administration and field staff  and  caused  an
approximate 40% decrease in Texas revenues.  Revenues in Colorado also
decreased  for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared  to  the
six  months  ended June 30, 1995 due to similar increased  competition
issues.  This decrease was offset by revenues from the acquisition  of
Ellis  Home Care of approximately $577,000 which was included  in  net
revenues beginning February 1, 1996.

      The  Company  has implemented a sales and marketing  program  in
Texas which is intended to recapture some of the business lost to  the
competition  and  intends to replace the lost low-margin  business  in
Colorado   with  higher  margin  sales  from  its  new  rehabilitation
consulting  division.   There  can be no assurance  given  that  these
programs and activities will be successful in increasing its revenue.

      The Company's gross margin percentage increased from 19% for the
six  months  ended June 30, 1995 to 26% for the six months ended  June
30,  1996.   The  increase was due to approximately 32% gross  margins
achieved  by  its newly acquired Ellis Home Care division  and  a  new
rehabilitation  consulting division which provided  gross  margins  of
well  over  50%.   In addition, the Company reflected the  benefit  of
approximately  $40,000 in workers compensation adjustments  from  1995
due to payroll being less than anticipated.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased  for  the
six  months ended June 30, 1996 by approximately $509,000  or  26%  as
compared  to  the  six months ended June 30, 1995.  The  decrease  was
primarily attributable to the effort by management to reduce corporate
overhead  during late 1995 by installing a new computer  system  which
was  fully  implemented  in  1996,  reducing  employee  headcount  and
terminating  certain  highly  paid  management  personnel.    Selling,
general  and  administrative  expenses  as  a  percentage  of  revenue
decreased from 28% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to  22%  for
the  six months ended June 30, 1996.  In addition, the Company reduced
its bad debt reserve by approximately $120,000 in the six months ended
June  30,  1996  from December 31, 1995.  Management anticipates  that
this  trend  of  selling,  general and administrative  expenses  as  a
percentage of sales decreasing will continue throughout the  remainder
of  1996  as  the  Company sees economies of  scale  result  from  its
acquisition activity and its integration strategy of centralizing  the
general and administrative functions of each branch in Colorado.

      Net  income (loss) improved from a $1,402,000 loss  in  the  six
months ended June 30, 1995 to net income of $446,000 in the six months
ended  June 30, 1996.  The improvement was attributable to the factors
discussed  above.  In addition, all of its then outstanding  preferred
stock automatically converted to common stock in the first quarter  of
1996  which resulted in the Company recapturing approximately $441,000
of accrued but undeclared dividends which were outstanding at December
31,  1995.  This recapture of dividends payable accounted for  99%  of
the Company's income for the six months ended June 30, 1996.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The  Company's  current liabilities at June 30, 1996  aggregated
approximately  $3,116,000  and  current  assets  at  June   30,   1996
aggregated approximately $2,512,000.  The Company successfully reduced
its working capital deficiency from approximately $799,000 at December
31,  1995 to $604,000 at June 30, 1996 and reduced its checks  written
in  excess  of bank balances by $207,000.  The Company benefited  from
its acquisition of Ellis in April 1996 which increased its receivables
by  approximately  $407,000 while only increasing its  advances  under
financing  agreement  by  approximately $300,000.   In  addition,  the
Company  was able to convert a note payable due the former  owners  of
Paxxon  to  common  stock  which reduced its  current  liabilities  by
approximately $500,000.

     The Company is currently in default concerning its ability to pay
a  note payable with a principal balance of $120,000 and will continue
to  be  in  default  unless and until the company  is  able  to  raise
additional debt or equity funds.  The note is personally guaranteed by
a  stockholder, officer and director of the company and  the  note  is
collateralized by certain intangibles.  In addition, the note  may  be
converted to common stock of the company at $3.00 per share.  On  July
26,  1996,  the  note  holder  filed a  lawsuit  against  the  Company
demanding  payment  of  the entire outstanding principal  and  accrued
interest  totaling  approximately $156,000.   The Company  intends  to
make payment as funds are available and has adequately accrued for the
amounts owing in the accompanying financial statements.   See Item  1.
Legal Proceedings

      In  order  to continue the company's stated goal of  growth  via
acquisition,  management believes that it will be  necessary  for  the
company to raise additional equity or debt capital.

      Until  August 1996, the company utilized an accounts  receivable
factoring  arrangement whereby approximately 85% of its billings  were
advanced to the Company on a weekly basis.  The financing agency  then
collected the accounts receivable on behalf of the company and charged
back  to  the company any receivables which exceed 90 days outstanding
(120  days in New York).  This arrangement has allowed the company  to
receive  approximately 68% of its receivables  in  cash  as  they  are
billed.   This arrangement has resulted in an effective interest  cost
to the Company of approximately 25%.

     In August 1996, the Company renegotiated its arrangement with its
financing  agency whereby the effective interest rate was  reduced  to
approximately 12% (with the exception of STAT which will  continue  to
have  an additional 2% purchase discount until December 31, 1997)  and
the  availability  of advances outstanding under the  arrangement  was
increased  to $5,000,000.  With its acquisition of  STAT, the  Company
expects  to  use approximately $3,000,000 of the line of credit.   The
additional   credit  limit  is  available  to  be  used   for   future
acquisitions or internal sales growth.

      Management of the company believes that it generates  sufficient
cash  from  operations to continue the business as  a  going  concern.
However,  the company's ability to pay the note payable  which  is  in
default  and  to  pursue further acquisitions is  dependent  upon  the
raising  of  additional  debt  or equity  capital.  There  can  be  no
assurance given that the company will be successful in raising debt or
equity capital on terms which are satisfactory to the Company.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

           See Item 3 - "Legal Proceedings" in the Company's Form 10-
     KSB as of December 31, 1995 and for the year then ended.

           On July 26, 1996, Staffbuilders, Inc. filed a civil action
     in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
     demanding payment of an outstanding note payable.  The plaintiff
     alleges  that  the  principal balance  due  under  the  note  is
     $145,000  with accrued interest outstanding of $11,606.48.   The
     Company has referred this litigation to its outside counsel  for
     review.   The Company has adequately accrued for the amounts  in
     the accompanying financial statements.
