                             June 30, 1998

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

            These financial statements are presented on a consolidated
basis  and  include  the results of operations  of  Headway  Corporate
Resources,  Inc.,  and  its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  (i)   Headway
Corporate  Staffing  Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries
(OHCSSIO)  and (ii) Whitney Partners, LLC and its United  Kingdom  and
Asian   subsidiaries  (OWPIO),  (collectively  referred  to   as   the
OCompanyO).

            In  the  opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
financial   statements  included  in  this  Form  10-Q   reflect   all
adjustments  (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)  necessary
for  a  fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods
presented.   The results of operations for the periods  presented  are
not  necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.

            For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes included in the CompanyOs Form 10-KSB for the year ended

(2)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

            Comprehensive Income - As of January 1, 1998, the  Company
adopted Statement 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income.  Statement  130
establishes  new rules for the reporting and display of  comprehensive
income and its components, however, the adoption of this Statement had
no  impact  on  the  CompanyOs  net income  or  shareholdersO  equity.
Statement 130 requires foreign currency translation adjustments, which
prior to adoption were reported separately in shareholdersO equity, to
be  included in other comprehensive income.  During the second quarter
of  1998  and 1997, total comprehensive income amounted to  $2,278,000
and  $811,000, respectively.  Total comprehensive income for  the  six
months  ended  June  30,  1998  and 1997 amounted  to  $2,119,000  and
$2,347,000, respectively.

            Reclassifications  -  Certain  reclassifications  of  1997
balances have been made to conform to the 1998 presentation.

(3) ACQUISITIONS

          In March 1998, the Company acquired directly and through its
subsidiaries  three  businesses in three separate  transactions.   The
Company  acquired substantially all of the assets of Cheney Associates
and   Cheney   Consulting  Group  of  New  Haven,   Connecticut,   for
approximately $3,772,000 paid at closing, plus an earnout for  certain
periods  through  the end of March 2001 equal to a percentage  of  the
earnings, as defined.  The Company also acquired substantially all  of
the  assets  of  the  Southern  Virginia offices  of  Select  Staffing
Services, Inc. for approximately $2,993,000 paid at closing,  plus  an
earnout for certain periods through the end of March 2001, equal to  a
percentage of the earnings, as defined.  The Company acquired  all  of
the outstanding capital stock of Shore Resources, Incorporated, of Los
Angeles,  California, for approximately $5,051,000  paid  at  closing,
plus  an  earnout for certain periods through the end of  March  2001,
equal to a percentage of the earnings, as defined.  The purchase price
for  these  acquisitions exceeded the fair value  of  assets  acquired
resulting in goodwill of approximately $11,700,000.

          In  June 1998, the Company acquired through its wholly owned
subsidiary three businesses in two separate transactions. The  Company
acquired substantially all the assets of Staffing Solution, Inc.,  and
Intelligent   Staffing,  Inc.  (collectively  OSSIO),   both   Florida
corporations.  The  purchase  price for SSI  was  $1,300,000  paid  at
closing in the form of cash and 9,170 shares of common stock, plus  an
earnout over the three-year period commencing June 22, 1998, equal  to
a  specified portion of the future earnings, as defined. The  Company
also  acquired  substantially all the assets of Phoenix  Communication
Group,  Inc.  of  N.J.  (OPCGO).  The  purchase  price  for  PCG   was
approximately  $17,000,000 paid at closing in the  form  of  cash  and
85,608  shares  of  common stock, plus an earnout over  the  four-year
period  commencing June 29, 1998, equal to a multiple  of  the  future
earnings,  as  defined.  The  purchase price  for  these  acquisitions
exceeded  the fair value of assets acquired resulting in  goodwill  of
approximately $16,200,000.

          The aforementioned acquisitions were accounted for under the
purchase  method  of accounting and their results of  operations  have
been  included  in  the accompanying financial statements  from  their
respective dates of acquisition.  Any additional purchase price  based
on  future earnings related to the aforementioned acquisitions will be
recorded  as  goodwill upon the determination that the  earnouts  have
been met.

          The  pro  forma unaudited consolidated results of operations
assuming consummation of the above mentioned transactions, and certain
acquisitions  in 1997, as of the beginning of the respective  periods,

 (4) DEBT AND EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

           In  March  1998,  the  Company completed  debt  and  equity
financing totaling $105,000,000.  The financing includes a $75,000,000
senior credit facility, $10,000,000 of senior subordinated notes,  and
$20,000,000  of  Series F Convertible Preferred  Stock.   The  Company
retired  its  credit facility with ING (U.S.) Capital Corporation  for
$37,998,000 from the proceeds of the new financing.

          The senior credit facility is payable within five years with
mandatory  reductions of $5,000,000 in March 2001 and  $10,000,000  in
March  2002.  This revolving credit facility bears interest at varying
rates based on LIBOR ranging from 7.22% to 7.29% per annum at June 30,
1998.   The Company incurred expenses in connection with the  issuance
of  the  senior credit facility of $1,062,000 which have been deferred
and  are being amortized over the five year life of the debt.   As  of
June  30, 1998, $39,500,000 was drawn on this facility.  Substantially
all  assets  of the Company have been pledged as collateral  for  this
credit  agreement.  The credit agreement requires the Company to  meet
certain financial ratios, as defined.

           The senior subordinated notes are payable in March 2006 and
bear  interest  at  a fixed rate of 12% per annum  until  March  2001,
increasing to 14% per annum thereafter. The Company incurred  expenses
in  connection with the issuance of the senior subordinated  notes  of
$759,000  which  have been deferred and are being amortized  over  the
eight year life of the debt.

           The  Series F Convertible Preferred Stock accrues dividends
at the rate of 5.5% per annum and is convertible to common stock at  a
conversion  price to be determined based on the market  price  of  the
common  stock over the next two years.  The Company incurred  expenses
in  connection with the issuance of the preferred stock of  $1,367,000
which  have  been  accounted for as a reduction in additional  paid-in
capital.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

Overview

           The  CompanyOs strong financial performance for the  second
quarter  of  1998 was a continuation of the first quarter.   The  high
demand  for  contingent workers as well as acquisitions  made  in  the
latter  part  of  1997 and the first quarter of 1998 are  the  primary
reasons for the strong results. For the first six months of 1998,  the
Company  acheived record revenues and operating profits.  All  of  the
acquisitions  that the Company has consummated over  the  past  twenty
four months have performed at or above expectations for the first  six
months of 1998.  The Company expects this trend to continue as long as
there  is  no drastic change in the economy or the financial  services
industry.  The Company expects to continue to grow both internally and
through acquisitions.

      In  June  1998,  the Company completed the acquisitions  of  two
staffing companies; one has offices in South Florida and the other is
located  in  New  Jersey.  In March 1998, the  Company  completed  the
acquisition  of  three staffing companies.  In addition,  the  Company
closed on $105,000,000 of new financing consisting of a combination of
debt and equity.

Consolidated

      Revenues  increased $38,105,000 or 111% to $72,281,000  for  the
three months ended June 30, 1998, from $34,176,000 for the same period
in  1997.   For  the  six months ended June 30,  1998,  revenues  were
$129,999,000,  an increase of 131% from $56,252,000  a  year  earlier.
These   increases   are   attributable  to  the   temporary   staffing
acquisitions  completed in the later part of 1997 and  early  part  of
1998, as well as strong internal growth from existing businesses.

      Operating expenses increased $36,608,000 to $68,555,000 for  the
three months ended June 30, 1998, from $31,947,000 for the same period
in  1997.   Of  these  amounts, $55,137,000 and $24,153,000  were  the
direct  costs  of  revenues relating to wages, taxes and  benefits  of
worksite employees for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and  1997,
respectively.  This resulted in gross profit of $17,144,000  or  23.7%
of  revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared  to
$10,023,000  or  29.3% of revenues for the second quarter  last  year.
For  the  six  months  ended June 30, 1998,  operating  expenses  were
$123,041,000, up from $52,213,000 a year earlier.   Of these  amounts,
$98,257,000 and $38,586,000 were the direct costs of revenues relating
to  wages, taxes and benefits of worksite employees for the six months
ended  June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  This resulted  in  gross
profit  of  $31,742,000 or 24.4% of revenues for the six months  ended
June 30, 1998, as compared to $17,666,000 or 31.4% of revenues for the
same period last year.  The decline in the CompanyOs gross margin is a
direct  result of the strong internal growth in the CompanyOs contract
staff  and  payrolling business, which operates at a gross  margin  of
approximately 5%.

      Operating  income from continuing operations  increased  67%  or
$1,497,000  to  $3,726,000 for the three months ended June  30,  1998,
compared  to  $2,229,000 for the three months  ended  June  30,  1997.
Operating  income from continuing operations for the six months  ended
June  30,  1998,  increased  72%  or  $2,919,000  to  $6,958,000  from
$4,039,000  a year earlier.  The increase is directly related  to  the
growth  in  revenue.  As a result of an increase in the  lower  margin
contract staff and payrolling business, operating income declined as a
percentage of revenues for the second quarter of 1998 and for the  six
months ended June 30, 1998.

      Diluted earnings per share were $0.15 for the second quarter  of
1998,  compared to $0.08 for the second quarter of 1997.  Included  in
the  1998  results was an after-tax gain on the sale of an  investment
(Incepta)  of  $595,000  or  $0.04 per diluted  share.   1997  results
included  a  loss from discontinued operations of $(0.02)  per  share.
For  the  six months ended June 30, 1998, diluted earnings  per  share
were  $0.27 before extraordinary items compared to $0.24 for the  same
period  in 1997.  Included in the results for the first six months  of
1998  was  an  after-tax gain on the sale of investment of  $0.04  per
diluted  share.  1997 results included income of $0.07 per share  from
the  after-tax  gain on the sale of investment, net of the  loss  from
discontinued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash used in operations during the six months ended June 30, 1998
was $4,303,000, compared to cash used in operations of $597,000 during
the  same  period in 1997.  The cash used in the current  quarter  was
primarily  attributable to the increase in accounts  receivable  as  a
result  of the CompanyOs growth in revenue.  This is a trend  that  is
likely  to  continue  as the Company continues to  grow  the  staffing
business.

      In  March 1998, the Company completed a new financing consisting
of  a  $75,000,000  senior credit facility and $30,000,000  of  junior
capital.   The  junior  capital included  $20,000,000  of  convertible
preferred  stock  and  $10,000,000 of senior  subordinated  debt.  The
Company used a portion of the new financing to pay down existing  debt
obligations  and  a  portion  to finance the  acquisitions  which  the
Company completed in the first six months of 1998.  The balance of the
financing will be used for future acquisitions and for general working
capital.   Primarily  as  a  result of the  financing,  the  CompanyOs
working capital improved dramatically to $29,100,000 at June 30, 1998,
from  $450,000  at  December 31, 1997.  Management  expects  that  the
Company's working capital position will be sufficient to meet  all  of
the working capital needs for the remainder of the year.

      For  the  six  months  ended June 30,  1998,  the  Company  used
$26,813,000  in  investing  activities  almost  exclusively  for   the
acquisitions  completed in March and June, compared to  cash  used  in
investing  activities of $3,042,000 for the same period in 1997.   The
cash  used  for investing activities in 1997 also related to  staffing
acquisitions.

     Total net cash received from financing activities was $33,756,000
for the first half of 1998, compared to net cash provided by financing
activities  of  $6,022,000  for the same period  in  1997.   The  cash
generated in 1998 related to the financing completed in March.
