MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

OVERVIEW

     The Company is primarily  engaged in the  business of  providing  personnel
placement services in three sectors:  executive search,  contingency recruitment
and professional temporary staffing.  Executive search services are furnished in
three  industry-specific  categories  in the  publishing,  capital  markets  and
managed health care markets. The contingency recruitment sector of the Company's
business consists of four functional and one  industry-specific  practices.  The
functional  practices provide contingency  recruitment services to all companies
seeking  personnel  in the  legal,  human  resources,  information  systems  and
accounting   areas.  The   industry-specific   practice   provides   contingency
recruitment  services to the apparel industry.  Professional  temporary staffing
services are provided to the information  systems and technology  marketplace by
Information  Technology Partners,  Inc. (ITP), a wholly-owned  subsidiary of the
Company.

     The  following is a summary of the  Company's  consolidated  financial  and

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION  [Continued]

     The  increase in revenues for the three and six month  periods  ended March
31, 1996  compared to the three and six month  periods  ended March 31, 1995 for
the  Company's  executive  search  and  contingency  recruitment  sector  can be
attributed to the expansion of its client base, increased revenues from existing
clients and hiring of additional  experienced  counselors.  In addition,  during
1995 the Company  expanded  into  providing  executive  search to clients in the
publishing  industry and augmented its presence in the managed  health care area
through the  expansion  of  executive  search  services  to managed  health care
clients on the West Coast.  These expanded  operations  also  contributed to the
increase in revenues  for the three and six month  period  ended March 31, 1996.
The Company's  professional  temporary staffing business commenced operations in
November,  1994, therefore revenues increased for the three and six months ended
March 31, 1996  compared to the same periods in 1995.  In addition,  the Company
hired  experienced  sales and  recruiting  personnel and has  developed  various
customer relationships within ITP.

     Selling  expenses  for the three month  period ended March 31, 1996 totaled
approximately   $2,570,000  (74%  of  revenues)   compared  with   approximately
$1,350,000  (83% of  revenues)  for the three month period ended March 31, 1995.
Selling  expenses  for the  six  month  period  ended  March  31,  1996  totaled
approximately   $4,758,000  (73.5%  of  revenues)  compared  with  approximately
$2,471,000  (80% of revenues) for the six month period ended March 31, 1995. The
improvements  as a  percentage  of revenues  relates to the  economies  of scale
associated with increased revenues. The increase in selling expenses is directly
related  to  the  Company's  subsidiary  ITP  which  contributed   approximately
$1,023,000  and  $1,800,000 of the  increased  costs for the three and six month
periods ended March 31, 1996,  respectively.  The Company  anticipates  that the
revenue growth in ITP will further offset the increase in selling expenses. Such
costs consist primarily of payroll relating to temporary staffing  requirements,
salaries and commissions of sales and recruiting  personnel,  employee benefits,
advertising, public relations and various other costs.

     General and  Administrative  expenses  increased to approximately  $835,000
(24% of revenues) and $1,807,000  (28% of  revenues)for  the three and six month
periods ended March 31, 1996 from approximately  $713,000 (44% of revenues ) and
$1,163,000  (38% of revenues) for the three and six month period ended March 31,
1995. The increase in general and administrative  expenses is primarily a result
of the Company's planned business  expansion through the retention of additional
administrative  personnel,  leasing  additional  office space and,  professional
fees.

     Depreciation  and  Amortization  for the three and six month  periods ended
March  31,  1996  totaled   approximately   $58,000  and  $113,000  compared  to
approximately  $39,000 and $64,000 for same periods in 1995. The increase is due
to amortization  of intangible  assets related to the acquisition of trade names
along  with the  acquisition  of capital  assets,  such as  computer  equipment,
furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements.

     Due to the factors mentioned above net income was approximately $81,000 for
the  three  month  period  ended  March  31,  1996  compared  to a net  loss  of
approximately  $402,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1995. The net
loss was  approximately  $54,000 for the six month  period  ended March 31, 1996
compared to a net loss of approximately  $574,000 for the six month period ended
March 31, 1995.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION [Continued]

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March 31,  1996,  the  Company  had  working  capital  of  approximately
$4,247,000 a decrease of  approximately  $1,155,000  compared to  September  30,
1995.  The decrease is primarily due to investing  cash and cash  equivalents in
long-term investments.

     Cash flows used in operating  activities were approximately  $1,093,000 for
the six months  ended March 31,  1996.  The  primary  use of cash for  operating
activities  was to fund the  increase in accounts  receivable  related to higher
revenues.  Accounts receivable  increased  approximately  $1,511,000 compared to
September 30, 1995.  Cash used in investing  activities for the six months ended
March 31, 1996 totaled approximately $2,229,000,  most of which was used for the
purchase of investments.

     The  Company  anticipates  that it may incur a charge to earnings in one or
more of the fiscal years ending on or prior to September  30, 1999 in connection
with the possible release from escrow of shares of Common Stock to the Company's
principal   executive  officers  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  their  employment
agreements  with the  Company.  Three  officers  of the  Company  have placed an
aggregate of 794,136 shares of Common Stock of the Company in escrow pending the
Company's  attainment of certain minimum earnings  thresholds.  In the event the
Company  attains any of theearnings  thresholds  required for the release of the
escrowed  shares,  the  release of the  escrowed  shares to the  officers of the
Company (an aggregate of 794,136 shares) will be deemed additional  compensation
expense to the Company. The criteria for releasing such shares from escrow is as
follows:  (i) if pre-tax  net income for any fiscal  year  ending on or prior to
September 30, 1999 equals or exceeds $1,000,000,  264,712 shares of Common Stock
shall be  released to such  officers;  (ii) if pre-tax net income for any fiscal
year ending on or prior to  September  30,  1999  equals or exceeds  $2,000,000,
264,712  shares of Common  Stock  shall be released  to such  officers  (iii) if
pre-tax net income for any fiscal year ending on or prior to September  30, 1999
equals or exceeds  $3,000,000,  264,712 shares of Common Stock shall be released
to  such  officers.  For  purposes  of  determining  satisfaction  of the  above
criteria,  each of such  criteria may only be satisfied in one of the  measuring
years and only one of such  criteria may be  satisfied in any year.  Pre-tax net
income for each year shall be determined,  and the right to receive shares shall
vest, on the December 31 following  each fiscal year.  In computing  pre-tax net
income  for  purposes  of  determining  whether  the  above  criteria  have been
satisfied,  any charges to earnings arising solely as a result of the release of
escrowed  shares shall be excluded.  Because of the  compensatory  nature of the
arrangement,  each release of escrowed shares pursuant to such  arrangement will
result  in a  non-cash  charge to the  Company's  earnings.  The  amount of such
compensation  charge  will be  equal  to the fair  market  value  of the  shares
released  from  escrow at the date of  release.  While the amount of such future
charges to earnings,  if any, and the timing of such charges cannot be estimated
at  this  time  due to the  uncertainty  as to the  future  satisfaction  of the
earnings  criteria  and the future  value of the Common  Stock,  any such future
charge to earnings can be expected to be substantial.

     As of March 31, 1996 the Company had  approximately  $2,241,000 in cash and
cash equivalents and short-term investments as well as approximately  $1,069,000
in long-term  investments.  The Company's  $500,000  revolving  credit  facility
expired in December,  1995. The Company is in the process of investigating other
credit  facilities.  Management  believes  that its current  cash  position  and
investment  balances  will be  sufficient  to support  current  working  capital
requirements and planned expansion through at least the next 12 months.

NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting Standards [SFAS] No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" in March of 1995
[SFAS] No. 121 establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long lived
assets, certain identifiable  intangibles,  and goodwill related to those assets
to be held  and  used,  and  for  long-lived  assets  and  certain  identifiable
intangibles  to be  disposed  of.  [SFAS] No.  121 is  effective  for  financial
statements  issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.  Adoption
of SFAS No.  121 is not  expected  to have a  material  impact on the  Company's
financial statements.

     The  FASB  has  also  issued  SFAS No.  123,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation,"  in October of 1995.  SFAS No. 123 uses a fair value based method
of accounting for stock options and similar equity  instruments as contrasted to
the  intrinsic  valued  based  method of  accounting  prescribed  by  Accounting
Principles Board [APB] Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.
The  Company  has not decided if it will adopt SFAS No. 123 or continue to apply
APB Opinion No. 25 for financial reporting  purposes.  SFAS No. 123 will have to
be adopted for financial note disclosure  purposes in any event.  The accounting
requirements  of SFAS No. 123 are  effective  for  transactions  entered into in
fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995; the disclosure  requirements of
SFAS No. 123 are  effective for  financial  statement for fiscal year  beginning
after December 15, 1995.

     On  December  30,  1994,  the  American   Institute  of  Certified   Public
Accountants  issued  Statement  of Position  [SOP] 94-6,  Disclosure  of Certain
Significant Risks and  Uncertainties,  the provisions of which are effective for
financial  statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1995. In
general,  [SOP]  94-6  requires  disclosures  about the  nature  of a  company's
operations and the use of estimates in the preparation of financial  statements.
The  Company  does not  anticipate  a  significant  expansion  of its  financial
statement note disclosure as a result of SOP 94-6.
