HEADWAY CORPORATE RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1998
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and
include the results of operations of the parent corporation, Headway
Corporate Resources, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (i)
Headway Corporate Staffing Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries ("HCSSI") and (ii) Whitney Partners, L.L.C. and its
United Kingdom and Asian subsidiaries ("WPI"), (collectively
referred to as the "Company").
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 Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1997.
(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 Company's net income or shareholders' equity.
Statement 130 requires foreign currency translation adjustments,
which prior to adoption were reported separately in shareholders'
equity, to be included in other comprehensive income. During the
third quarter of 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive income amounted
to $1,400,000 and $435,000, respectively. Total comprehensive
income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was
$3,519,000 and $2,782,000, respectively.
Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications of 1997 balances have
been made to conform to the 1998 presentation.

(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 and incurred a
loss on the early retirement of this credit facility of $2,698,000
($1,457,000 net of tax benefit).
In October 1998, the Company expanded its senior credit facility to
$90,000,000 from $75,000,000. 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 6.92% to
7.19% per annum at September 30, 1998. The Company incurred
expenses in connection with the issuance of the senior credit
facility of $1,079,000 which have been deferred and are being
amortized over the five year life of the debt. As of September 30,
1998, $46,100,000 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.

notes of $759,000 which have been deferred and are being amortized
over the eight year life of the debt.

common stock over the two year period ending in March 2000. The

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Overview
The Company's financial performance remained strong for the third
quarter of 1998. The continued high demand for contingent and full
time workers as well as acquisitions made in the latter part of 1997
and the first half of 1998 are the primary reasons for the strong
results. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company
achieved record revenues and operating profits. Without exception,
all of the Company's operating units showed improvement over the
prior period. All of the acquisitions that the Company has made
over the past twenty four months have been integrated into the
Headway organization and are performing at or better than expected.
The Company expects to continue to grow both internally and through
acquisitions.
In July 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of a recruiting
firm in Chicago, specializing in real estate and management
consulting executive search. This acquisition is highly
complementary to Whitney Partners, L.L.C. as it extends their
capabilities into two new product areas as well as a new region. In
addition, the Company opened three new staffing offices; two in
California and one in Pennsylvania.
In September 1998, the Company's common stock began trading on the
Nasdaq National Market System. The Company is confident that this
listing will enhance the trading market of its common stock. In
addition, in response to the recent decline in the price of the
Company's common stock, as well as the general decline in stock
prices across the staffing industry, the Company's Board of
Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to 1.0 million
shares, or 10% of the shares outstanding. As of the date of this
report, the Company's purchases under this program have been
nominal.
Consolidated
Revenues increased $40,592,000 or 108% to $78,078,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998, from $37,486,000 for the same
period in 1997. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
revenues were $208,077,000, an increase of 122% from $93,738,000 a
year earlier. These increases are attributable to the temporary
staffing acquisitions completed in the latter part of 1997 and early
part of 1998, as well as strong internal growth. On a pro-forma
basis, for the first nine months of 1998, the Company experienced a
40% internal growth rate.
Operating expenses increased $38,677,000 to $74,569,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1998, from $35,892,000 for the same
period in 1997. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
operating expenses increased $109,505,000 to $197,610,000, up from
$88,105,000 a year earlier. For the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 1998 respectively, $60,183,000 and $158,440,000
were the direct costs of revenues relating to wages, taxes and
benefits of work site employees. This resulted in gross profit of
$17,895,000 or 22.9% and $49,637,000 or 23.9% for the three and nine
months respectively. The balance of the expenses, which represents
general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization,
increased $6,828,000 and $17,985,000 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1998, respectively, from the same periods in
1997, primarily due to the acquisition of the staffing companies
completed in the latter part of 1997 and the first nine months of
1998.
Operating income from continuing operations increased 120% or
$1,915,000 to $3,509,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1998, compared to $1,594,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1997. Operating income from continuing operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998, increased 86% or $4,834,000 to
$10,467,000 from $5,633,000 a year earlier. The increase is
directly related to the growth in revenue. Operating income from
continuing operations decreased as a percentage of revenues for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 as a result of the increase in
the Company's contract staff and payrolling business, which operates
at a substantially lower gross margin.
Diluted earnings per share were $0.10 for the third quarter of 1998,
compared to $0.04 from continuing operations for the third quarter
of 1997. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, diluted
earnings per share from continuing operations before an
extraordinary item were $0.36 compared to diluted earnings per share
from continuing operations of $0.30 for the same period in 1997.
Included in the results for the first nine months of 1998 and 1997
was an after-tax gain on the sale of investment of $0.04 and $0.08
per diluted share respectively. The extraordinary item in 1998 of
$(0.11) per share relates to the write-off of costs associated with
the early retirement of debt.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash used in operations during the nine months ended September 30,
1998 was $5,770,000, compared to cash used in operations of
$3,136,000 during the same period in 1997. The cash used was
primarily attributable to the increase in accounts receivable as a
result of the Company's 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 nine 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 Company's working capital improved dramatically to $31,366,000
at September 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 nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company used
$29,518,000 in investing activities primarily for the acquisitions
completed during the first nine months of 1998, compared to cash
used in investing activities of $15,340,000 for the same period in
1997. The cash used for investing activities in 1997 also related
to staffing acquisitions.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $37,126,000 for the
first nine months of 1998, compared to net cash provided by
financing activities of $17,832,000 for the same period in 1997.
The cash generated in 1998 related to the financing completed in
March, net of the retirement of debt.
In October 1998, the Company secured $15 million in additional
financing through expansion of its senior credit facility. The
credit facility was increased from $75 million to $90 million on
substantially the same terms as the existing facility. The Company
expects to use the proceeds of the facility for additional
acquisitions and future working capital needs.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Company's internal computer information system is Year 2000
compliant, since its database does not store dates as plain text.
The dates are converted into an internal date format that does not
rely on the year to determine the century. Any new software
purchases will conform to the same type of internal date storage
specifications, which should eliminate any internal Year 2000
issues.
The Company's Year 2000 issues and any potential business
interruptions, costs, damages or losses related thereto are
primarily dependent upon the Year 2000 compliance of third parties.
The Company's suppliers that provide mission-critical services are
primarily large companies, such as local and long distance telephone
service providers, banks, and utility companies. The Company has no
reason to believe that these suppliers will not be Year 2000
compliant. However, the Company is in the process of reviewing its
third party relationships in order to assess and address Year 2000
issues with respect to these third parties.
The costs associated with Year 2000 compliance have been nominal and
the Company believes that the remaining costs will be minimal and
will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition
or results of operations.
