        HEADWAY CORPORATE RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           June 30, 1999

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Headway Corporate Resources, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries
provide  strategic staffing solutions and personnel on a  worldwide
basis.   Its  operations include information  technology  staffing,
temporary   staffing,  human  resources  administration,  permanent
placement  and  executive search.  Headquartered in New  York,  the
Company  has  offices  in  California,  Connecticut,  Florida,  New
Jersey,  North  Carolina, Virginia, and Texas and executive  search
offices  in New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, the United  Kingdom,
Japan,  Hong  Kong  and  Singapore.  These  consolidated  financial
statements  include  the accounts of Headway  Corporate  Resources,
Inc.  and  its  subsidiaries  (collectively  referred  to  as   the
"Company").

The  accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements  have
been  prepared  in  accordance with generally  accepted  accounting
principles   for  interim  financial  information  and   with   the
instructions  to  Form  10-Q  and Article  10  of  Regulation  S-X.
Accordingly,  they  do  not  include all  of  the  information  and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles  for
complete  financial statements.  In the opinion of management,  all
adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring  accruals)  considered
necessary  for  a fair presentation have been included.   Operating
results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999 are
not  necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 1999.

The  balance sheet at December 31, 1998 has been derived  from  the
audited financial statements at that date but does not include  all
of  the  information  and footnotes required by generally  accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.

For  further  information,  refer  to  the  consolidated  financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-
K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

Certain  reclassifications  of 1998  balances  have  been  made  to
conform to the 1999 presentation.

(2) INTANGIBLES

In  June 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
of a division of a North Carolina corporation resulting in goodwill
of  approximately  $4,024,000.  The acquisition was  accounted  for
under  the  purchase  method  of  accounting  and  the  results  of
operations   have been  included  in  the  accompanying   financial
statements from the respective date of acquisition.  On a pro forma
basis, if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of 1998,
the  effect on the Company's total revenue, net income and earnings
per share would have been immaterial.

During  the  six  months ended June 30, 1999,  additional  purchase
price of $3,823,000 was recorded as goodwill upon the determination
that the earnouts had been met on certain acquisitions made in 1998
and 1997.

(3) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT

In  March 1999, the Company incurred costs of $2,329,000 associated
with the termination of an employment contract.

(4) DEBT TRANSACTION

In  June  1999, the lender increased the amounts under  its  senior
credit  facility to $100,000,000 from $90,000,000.   The  revolving
credit  facility  bears interest at varying rates  based  on  LIBOR
ranging from 7.18% to 7.24% per annum at June 30, 1999.  As of June
30,  1999,  $60,250,000 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.

(6) BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The  Company  classifies its business into two  fundamental  areas,
staffing  and executive search.  Staffing consists of the placement
and  payrolling  of  temporary and permanent office,  clerical  and
information  technology professional personnel.   Executive  search
focuses on placing middle to upper level management positions.  The
Company  evaluates performance based on the segments'  profit  from
operations before unallocated corporate overhead.

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


Results of Operations

Overview

The  Company's  financial performance was  strong  for  the  second
quarter  of  1999.  This can be attributed to the  results  of  the
acquisitions  completed during 1998, strong internal  growth  as  a
result  of  the continued demand for contingent workers, and  solid
performance in the executive search division.  The Company  expects
this trend to continue as long as there is no drastic change in the
economy  or  the financial services industry.  For the  six  months
ended  June  30,  1999, the Company achieved  record  revenues  and
operating  profits. All of the acquisitions that  the  Company  has
made over the past twenty-four months have been integrated into the
Headway organization.  The Company expects to continue to grow both
internally and through acquisitions.

Consolidated

Revenues increased $19,891,000 or 28% to $92,172,000 for the  three
months ended June 30, 1999, from $72,281,000 for the same period in
1998.   For  the  six  months ended June 30,  1999,  revenues  were
$184,826,000, an increase of 42% from $129,999,000 a year  earlier.
These  increases  are  attributable to  the  staffing  acquisitions
completed  in  the latter part of 1998, as well as strong  internal
growth. For the first six months of 1999, the Company experienced a
19% internal growth rate.

The  executive search subsidiary, Whitney Partners, LLC  (Whitney),
contributed  $6,012,000  to consolidated  revenues  in  the  second
quarter  of 1999, an increase of $521,000 from $5,491,000  for  the
same  period  in  1998.  For the six months ended  June  30,  1999,
Whitney  revenues  were  $14,706,000,  an  increase  of  22%   from
$12,071,000  a  year earlier.  This increase is due to  the  strong
recovery  of the financial markets in the first half of  1999,  and
the related increase in the hiring activities of Whitney's clients,
as  well as the contribution that Carlyle Group, Ltd. (Carlyle) has
made since its acquisition in July 1998.

The  staffing subsidiary, Headway Corporate Staffing Services, Inc.
(HCSS) contributed revenues of $86,160,000 to consolidated revenues
in  the  second  quarter of 1999, an increase of  $19,370,000  from
$66,790,000  for second quarter of 1998. For the six  months  ended
June 30, 1999, HCSS revenues were $170,120,000, an increase of  44%
from  $117,928,000 a year earlier.  This increase  is  primarily  a
result  of  the  acquisitions completed during the latter  part  of
1998, as well as strong internal growth.

Total  operating expenses increased $18,418,000 to $86,973,000  for
the three months ended June 30, 1999, from $68,555,000 for the same
period  in 1998. Of the increase, $15,905,000 relates to the direct
costs that are the wages, taxes and benefits of work site employees
of  the staffing companies.  Direct costs increased as a percentage
of  revenues  to  77.1% in 1999 from 76.3% in  1998.  For  the  six
months,  operating expenses increased $53,985,000  to  $177,026,000
from  $123,041,000 for the same period in 1998.  Of  the  increase,
$42,515,000  relates  to the direct costs.   For  the  six  months,
direct costs increased as a percentage of revenues to 76.2% in 1999
from  75.6%  in 1998.  The increase in direct costs as a percentage
of  revenues  is a result of the Company's changing  business  mix.
Specifically,  the  executive search business that  has  no  direct
costs  is  becoming  a  smaller percentage of the  Company's  total
revenues.   Direct costs for HCSS remained relatively stable  as  a
percentage of HCSS revenue at 82.5% for the three months ended June
30,  1999,  from 82.6% for the same period in 1998.   For  the  six
months,  direct  costs for HCSS declined as a  percentage  of  HCSS
revenue  to  82.8%  from  83.3% last  year.   This  improvement  is
primarily a result of the acquisitions completed in 1998 of several
information  technology  companies that have  higher  gross  margin
percentages  than  the  traditional temporary  staffing  companies.
General  and  administrative expenses

                                11
<PAGE>

decreased as a percentage  of
revenues  from  17.7% in the second quarter 1998 to  16.1%  in  the
second   quarter   1999.    For  the  six   months,   general   and
administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of revenues  from
18.2%  in  1998  to 17.2% in 1999.  The reduction  in  general  and
administrative  expenses as a percentage of revenues  reflects  the
operating efficiencies realized as a result of the acquisition  and
integration programs in place.

Included in operating expenses for the first quarter of 1999  is  a
special   charge  of  $2,329,000  paid  in  connection   with   the
termination  of  an  employment  agreement.   The  balance  of  the
increase in the six months ended June 30, 1999 is primarily due  to
operating expenses of the acquired staffing companies completed  in
the latter part of 1998.

Whitney's  operating expenses decreased $128,000 to  $4,254,000  in
the  second  quarter of 1999, from $4,382,000 for the  same  period
last  year.   For  the  six  months of  1999,  Whitney's  operating
expenses increased $1,339,000 to $10,396,000 in 1999 as compared to
$9,057,000 in 1998.  This increase is primarily a result of  higher
compensation expense directly related to the increase  in  revenue,
as  well as the operating expenses of Carlyle that was acquired  in
July 1998.

Operating income increased 40% or $1,473,000 to $5,199,000 for  the
three  months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $3,726,000  for  the
three  months ended June 30, 1998.  For the six month period  ended
June  30,  1999  operating  income increased  12%  or  $842,000  to
$7,800,000  compared  to $6,958,000 for the  comparable  period  in
1998.   Included  in  the 1999 six month operating  income  is  the
$2,329,000   termination  payment  paid  in  the   first   quarter.
Excluding   this  payment,  operating  income  increased   46%   to
$10,129,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to the
same period in 1998.

Net  income  declined $177,000 to $2,083,000 for the  three  months
ended June 30, 1999, compared to $2,260,000 for the same period  in
1998.  This decrease is a result of a gain on sale of investment of
$595,000,  net  of taxes in the second quarter of 1998.   Excluding
this  gain,  net income increased 25% to $2,083,000 for  the  three
months  ended  June 30, 1999, compared to $1,665,000 for  the  same
period in 1998. Net income increased $660,000 to $2,733,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $2,073,000 for the same
period in 1998.  This increase  includes the termination payment in
the  first  quarter  of  1999, which had an  after  tax  effect  of
$1,351,000.   The  results for the first half of 1998  include  the
gain  on sale of investment of $595,000, net of taxes and the  loss
on early retirement of debt of $1,457,000, net of taxes.  Excluding
all  of these items, net income increased 39% to $4,084,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $2,935,000 for the same
period in 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash  provided by operations during the six months ended  June  30,
1999  was  $1,676,000  compared with cash  used  by  operations  of
$4,303,000  for  the  comparable period  in  1998.   This  was  due
primarily to increased collection of accounts receivable.

For   the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1999,  the  Company  used
$10,005,000 in investing activities almost exclusively for payments
for acquisitions completed during 1997, 1998 and 1999, compared  to
cash  used  in  investing activities of $26,813,000  for  the  same
period  in  1998.  The cash used for investing activities  in  1998
related to acquisitions completed during 1998 and 1997.

Total net cash provided by financing activities was $6,909,000  for
the  six  months ended June 30, 1999, compared to net cash provided
by financing activities of $33,756,000 for the same period in 1998.
The  cash  generated in 1999 was a result of additional  borrowings
under the Company's senior credit facility.

In March 1999, the Company announced its plans to step up purchases
under its stock repurchase program.  The program was implemented in
October  1998  when  the  Company's Board of  Directors  authorized
purchases  of up to 1.0 million shares.  During the first  half  of
1999,  the  Company used $1,553,000 to repurchase  325,400  shares.
The  Company expects that it will continue to purchase shares under
the program as long as the current stock price weakness continues.

The  Company's working capital improved to $35,332,000 at June  30,
1999,  from  $32,139,000 at December 31, 1998.  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.

In  June  1999,  the  Company  secured $10  million  in  additional
financing  through  expansion of its senior credit  facility.   The
credit  facility was increased from $90 million to $100 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.   As  of  June  30,
1999, the Company had approximately $40 million available under its
senior credit facility.

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.

The Company has developed a contingency plan to be able to react to
any Year 2000 problems should they arise.
