                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
   
     The following is a summary of the more detailed information and financial
statements appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated,
the information in this Prospectus assumes that the Underwriters' over-allotment
option will not be exercised, and gives retroactive effect to a two-for-one
stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend to shareholders of record on
May 15, 1996, which was reflected on the Nasdaq National Market on May 23, 1996.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company" or "Romac"
are to Romac International, Inc.
    
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
     Romac International, Inc. is a specialty staffing services firm providing
temporary, contract, and permanent placement of professional and technical
personnel. The Company is organized into three divisions: the Professional
Temporary Division provides professional temporary personnel in the fields of
finance and accounting; the Contract Services Division provides information
systems, manufacturing services, human resources, health care, and
pharmaceutical personnel generally on a longer-term contractual basis; and the
Search Division provides permanent placement of specialized personnel in the
fields of accounting and finance, information systems, financial services,
pharmaceutical research, health care, human resources, insurance, manufacturing
services, and sales and marketing. The Company believes its range of services
provides clients with integrated solutions to their temporary, contract, and
permanent specialty staffing needs, allowing the Company to develop long-term,
consultative relationships with its clients. The Company also believes the
interaction among its three divisions generates increased placement
opportunities and enhances the Company's ability to attract and place higher
quality candidates. The Company principally serves Fortune 1000 companies in
twelve metropolitan markets through Company-owned locations and five additional
markets through franchisees and licensees.
 
     The Company's objective is to be the nationally recognized leader in
providing specialty staffing services. The Company strives to differentiate
itself from others in the staffing industry through innovative service
offerings, a consultative and results-oriented approach to client relationships,
and high-quality personnel placements. In pursuing its objective, the Company
focuses exclusively on providing professional and technical personnel, rather
than clerical or light industrial personnel, because of the generally higher
profitability and the opportunity for growth of this market segment. The Company
believes it has a recruiting advantage over those of its competitors that lack
the ability to offer candidates temporary, contract, and permanent
opportunities. Candidates seeking permanent employment frequently accept
temporary or contract assignments through the Company until a permanent position
becomes available. The Company also believes the ROMAC(R) name recognition,
coupled with its industry expertise and innovative use of technology, provide it
with competitive benefits.
 
     The Company's growth strategy is to increase revenue and profitability by
expanding its services in existing markets and introducing its full range of
services into new markets. In existing markets, the Company intends to further
develop existing clients and expand its client base by (i) introducing its full
range of services in all of its markets, (ii) taking advantage of the
cross-selling opportunities provided by the complementary services offered by
its three divisions, (iii) introducing new services, and (iv) acquiring
complementary businesses. The Company intends to enter new markets by opening
new Company-owned locations and making strategic acquisitions. In the last
twelve months, the Company has entered four new markets: two through start-ups,
one through franchise conversion to a Company-owned location, and one through
acquisition. In addition, the Company has developed a major accounts program,
which encourages large users of staffing services to "carve-out" the
professional and technical segments of staffing contracts and award such
business to the Company instead of large generalist staffing firms. As a result
of this program, the Company has signed several contracts with major national
corporations for certain of the Company's services. Management believes there is
substantial opportunity for growth through the continued implementation of this
strategy.

     The Company was formed by current management in August 1994 through the
combination of a specialty staffing services firm in operation under the
ROMAC(R) name since 1966 and three of its largest franchisees (the "1994
Combination"). Since the Company's initial public offering in August 1995, the
Company has introduced Contract Services in its Philadelphia and Chicago
locations, introduced Search services in its Houston location, and expanded into
the Pittsburgh market through a new Company-owned location. The Company has also
acquired certain assets of the following entities: Venture Networks Corporation,
Inc. (Boston), PCS Group, Inc. (Louisville), and Strategic Outsourcing, Inc.
(Boston) (collectively, the "Acquisitions"). These strategic acquisitions have
enhanced the Company's Contract Services capabilities, increased the Company's
geographic presence, and introduced human resource contract and outsourcing
services, and outplacement services, to the Company's existing product
offerings.
    
 
     The temporary staffing industry has grown rapidly in recent years as
companies have utilized temporary employees to manage personnel costs while
meeting specialized or fluctuating staffing requirements. According to a study
by the National Association of Temporary and Staffing Services ("NATSS"), the
United States temporary staffing industry grew from approximately $20.4 billion
in revenue in 1991 to approximately $39.2 billion in revenue in 1995, a compound
annual growth rate of 17.7%. Furthermore, according to the Staffing Industry
Report, the professional and technical segments of the temporary staffing
industry are estimated to have grown by 25.0% from 1994 to 1995 to $8.9 billion.
This compares with estimated 1994 to 1995 growth of 15.0% and 8.0%,
respectively, in the clerical and industrial segments.

                      SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
                     (In thousands, except per share data)
 
   
     Prior to September 1, 1994, the Company's business was conducted under
separate ownership and management by FMA International, Inc. ("Romac-FMA"),
which was a Romac franchisee, the Romac franchisor, and certain other Romac
franchisees. The 1994 Combination became effective on August 31, 1994 and all of
the financial data set forth below have been restated to give effect to the 1994
Combination, which has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. Since
August 31, 1994, the Company's business has been conducted under common
ownership and its operations have been conducted by the former management of
Romac-FMA, which became the management of the Company. The information below
reflects a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend to
shareholders of record on May 15, 1996, which was reflected on the Nasdaq
National Market on May 23, 1996.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     Prospective investors should consider carefully, in addition to the other
information contained in this Prospectus, the following factors in evaluating
the Company and its business before purchasing shares of the Common Stock
offered hereby. This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. Future events and the Company's actual results
could differ materially from the results expected in these forward-looking
statements, as a result of certain of the factors set forth below and elsewhere
in this Prospectus.
 
POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF FLUCTUATIONS IN THE GENERAL ECONOMY
 
     Historically, the general level of economic activity has significantly
affected the demand for employment services. As economic activity has slowed,
the use of temporary and contract personnel often has been curtailed before
permanent employees have been laid off. An economic downturn may adversely
affect the demand for temporary and contract personnel and may have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. As
economic activity has increased, temporary and contract personnel often have
been added to the work force before permanent employees have been hired. During
these periods of increased economic activity and generally higher levels of
employment, the competition among staffing services firms for qualified
temporary and contract personnel is intense. Further, the Company may face
increased competitive pricing pressures during such periods. There can be no
assurance that during these periods the Company will be able to recruit the
temporary and contract personnel necessary to fill its clients' needs or that
such pricing pressures will not adversely affect the Company's results of
operations. Additionally, during periods of slowed economic activity, the use of
executive search firms tends to decline significantly. See "Business -- Industry
Overview."
 
DEPENDENCE ON AVAILABILITY OF QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
 
     The Company depends upon its ability to attract and retain personnel,
particularly technical and professional personnel, who possess the skills and
experience necessary to meet the staffing requirements of its clients. The
Company must continually evaluate and upgrade its base of available qualified
personnel to keep pace with changing client needs and emerging technologies.
Competition for individuals with proven technical or professional skills is
intense and demand for such individuals is expected to remain very strong for
the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that qualified personnel will
continue to be available to the Company in sufficient numbers and upon economic
terms acceptable to the Company. See "Business -- Contract Services Division"
and "Business -- Competition."
 
ABILITY TO ACHIEVE AND MANAGE GROWTH
 
     The Company has experienced growth, driven primarily by industry trends
toward the increased use of temporary professional and technical personnel. The
Company's continued growth depends on a number of factors, including the ability
to maintain margins in the face of competitive pressures and changing regulatory
environments, the availability of sufficient working capital, continued
improvements in the recruitment, motivation, and retention of its operating
employees, and the strength of demand in the Company's markets. Any significant
delay in opening new Company-owned locations could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to attain its desired levels of growth. See
"Business -- Growth Strategy."
 
IMPLEMENTATION OF ACQUISITION STRATEGY
 
     The Company plans to pursue acquisitions of specialty staffing services
firms. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully
identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions, integrate
acquired businesses into its operations, or expand into new markets. Once
integrated, acquisitions may not achieve comparable levels of revenues,
profitability or productivity as the existing Company-owned locations or
otherwise perform as expected. The Company is unable to predict whether or when
any prospective acquisition candidate will become available or the likelihood
that any acquisition will be
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   7
 
completed. The Company competes for acquisition and expansion opportunities with
entities that have substantially greater resources. In addition, acquisitions
involve a number of special risks, such as diversion of management's attention,
difficulties in the integration of acquired operations and retention of
personnel, unexpected problems or legal liabilities, and tax and accounting
issues, some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations and financial condition. The Company currently
has no definitive arrangements or understandings in effect regarding possible
acquisitions. See "The Company" and "Business -- Growth Strategy."
 
DEPENDENCE ON CERTAIN CLIENTS
 
     The Company's largest client, GTE Corporation and its affiliates ("GTE"),
accounted for approximately 7.9% and 4.7% of the Company's total revenues in
1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1996, respectively. Although each
division and affiliate of GTE makes its own decisions concerning outside
vendors, the Company believes that the executive management of GTE has the
ability to prohibit dealings with particular vendors. The loss of all or a
significant part of the GTE business could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business. The Company's ten largest clients accounted for
approximately 17.8% of the Company's total revenues during 1995, and for
approximately 19.0% of the Company's total revenues during the three months
ended March 31, 1996. The loss of or material reduction of revenues from any
significant client could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The
Company provides services on an assignment-by-assignment basis and a client can
terminate an assignment at any time. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that
existing clients will continue to use the Company's services at historical
levels, if at all.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The Company faces significant competition in the markets it serves and
there are limited barriers to entry by new competitors. The Company competes for
potential clients with providers of outsourcing services, systems integrators,
computer systems consultants, other providers of staffing services, temporary
personnel agencies, and search firms. National clerical firms and accounting
firms have begun to penetrate the Company's target markets. A number of the
Company's competitors possess substantially greater resources than the Company.
From time to time the Company has experienced significant pressure from its
clients to reduce its price levels. The Company also faces the risk that certain
of its current and prospective clients will decide to provide similar services
internally. Additionally, the Company faces significant competition for
candidates in many professional and technical specialties. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to continue to compete effectively with
existing or potential competitors. See "Business -- Competition."
 
RELIANCE ON KEY EXECUTIVES AND QUALIFIED OPERATING EMPLOYEES
 
     The Company is highly dependent on its management. The Company expects that
its continued success will largely depend upon the efforts and abilities of
David L. Dunkel, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and certain
other executives. The loss of services of Mr. Dunkel or any other key executive
for any reason could have a material adverse effect upon the Company. The
Company maintains key man life insurance with respect to Mr. Dunkel. See
"Management." The Company's success also depends upon its ability to identify,
develop, and retain qualified operating employees, particularly management and
client servicing employees. The Company expends significant resources in
recruiting and training its employees, and the pool of available applicants for
these positions is limited. There can be no assurance that the Company will
continue to be able to identify, develop, and retain qualified operating
management and client servicing employees. In addition, the loss of some of the
Company's operating management and client servicing employees could have an
adverse effect on the Company's operations, including the Company's ability to
establish and maintain client relationships.
 
EMPLOYMENT LIABILITY RISK
 
     Providers of staffing services employ and place people in the workplaces of
other businesses. An inherent risk of such activity includes possible claims of
errors and omissions, misuse of client proprietary information, misappropriation
of funds, discrimination and harassment, employment of illegal aliens, theft of
client
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   8
property, other criminal activity or torts, and other claims. It is difficult to
define with precision the possible circumstances that may lead to claims against
the Company relating to the actions of its personnel. Perceived damages to the
Company's clients could arise from a variety of alleged mistakes or failures to
act by personnel placed by the Company (e.g., the alleged negligent action or
inaction of a computer technician could be perceived to cause disruption to a
client's management information systems or the alleged mistake of an accountant
could be perceived to result in a client's financial statements being
inaccurate). In some instances, the Company, pursuant to written contracts with
certain clients, is required to indemnify such clients against some or all of
the foregoing matters. A failure of any Company employee or personnel to observe
the Company's policies and guidelines intended to reduce exposure to these
risks, relevant client policies and guidelines, or applicable federal, state, or
local laws, rules and regulations, or other circumstances that cannot be
predicted, could result in negative publicity, injunctive relief, and the
payment by the Company of monetary damages or fines, or have other material
adverse effects upon the Company. Moreover, the Company could be held
responsible for the actions at a workplace of persons not under the direct
control of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will not
experience such problems in the future.
 
     Moreover, the Company is also exposed to potential claims with respect to
the placement process. Because of legal constraints and considerations, the
Company has found it increasingly difficult to perform background
investigations. To reduce its exposure, the Company maintains insurance and
fidelity bonds covering general liability, workers' compensation claims, errors
and omissions, and employee theft. There can be no assurance that such insurance
coverage will continue to be available economically in amounts adequate to cover
any such liability. See "Business -- Legal Proceedings" and
"Business -- Insurance."
 
   
POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
    
 
   
     The Common Stock has experienced a significant increase in its market price
since the Company's initial public offering in August 1995. The market price of
the Common Stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to
operating results of the Company, changes in general conditions in the economy,
the financial markets, the employment services industry, or other developments
affecting the Company, its clients, or its competitors, some of which may be
unrelated to the Company's performance. See "Price Range of Common Stock."
    
 
RELIANCE ON INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEMS
 
     The Company's business depends upon its ability to store, retrieve,
process, and manage significant databases, and periodically to expand and
upgrade its information processing capabilities. The Company's computer
equipment and software systems are maintained at its Tampa, Florida
headquarters. Interruption or loss of the Company's information processing
capabilities through loss of stored data, breakdown or malfunction of computer
equipment and software systems, telecommunications failure, conversion
difficulties, or damage to the Company's headquarters and systems caused by
fire, hurricane, lightning, electrical power outage, or other disruption could
have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company recently has
experienced problems with computer hardware supplied by a vendor. See 
"Business -- Professional Recruiters Operating System" and "Business -- 
Litigation."
 
INCREASED COSTS FROM GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
     The Company is required to pay a number of federal, state, and local
payroll and related costs, including unemployment taxes, workers' compensation
and insurance, FICA, and Medicare, among others, for its employees and
personnel. Significant increases in the effective rates of any payroll related
costs likely would have a material adverse effect upon the Company. The
Company's costs could also increase as a result of health care reforms or the
possible imposition of additional requirements and restrictions related to the
placement of personnel. Recent federal and state legislative proposals have
included provisions extending health insurance benefits to personnel who
currently do not receive such benefits. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to increase the fees charged to its clients in a timely
manner and in a sufficient amount to cover increased costs, if any such
proposals are adopted. There is also no assurance that the Company will be able
to adapt to future regulatory changes made by the Internal Revenue Service, the
 
                                        8

Department of Labor, or other state and federal regulatory agencies. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
 
MANAGEMENT DISCRETION CONCERNING USE OF PROCEEDS
 
     The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for general
corporate purposes including expansion of the Company's operations, purchase of
capital equipment, and possible acquisitions. Accordingly, management will have
substantial discretion in spending the proceeds to be received by the Company.
Pending such uses, the net proceeds will be invested in short-term, investment
grade securities, certificates of deposit, or direct guaranteed obligations of
the United States government. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
 
     The Company's articles of incorporation and bylaws and Florida law contain
provisions that may have the effect of inhibiting a non-negotiated merger or
other business combination. In particular, the Company's articles of
incorporation provide for a staggered board of directors and permit the removal
of directors only for cause. Additionally, management may issue up to 15,000,000
shares of preferred stock, and fix the rights and preferences thereof, without a
further vote of the shareholders. In addition, the Company's officers have
employment agreements with the Company containing certain provisions that call
for substantial payments to be made to such officers upon any change in control
of the Company. Certain of these provisions may discourage a future acquisition
of the Company, including an acquisition in which shareholders might otherwise
receive a premium for their shares. As a result, shareholders who might desire
to participate in such a transaction may not have the opportunity to do so.
Moreover, the existence of these provisions may have a depressive effect on the
market price of the Common Stock. See "Management -- Employment Agreements,"
"Description of Capital Stock -- Certain Provisions of the Company's Articles of
Incorporation" and "Description of Capital Stock -- Certain Provisions of
Florida Law."
 
   
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
    
 
   
     No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of
Common Stock or the availability of additional Common Stock for sale in the
public market as a result of this offering will have on the market price of the
Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of
Common Stock (including shares issued upon the exercise of options) in the
public market following the Offering, or the perception that such sales could
occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Common Stock. Upon
completion of the Offering, the Company will have 11,291,782 shares of Common
Stock outstanding. Of this amount, 6,424,778 shares (6,826,778 shares if the
Underwriters' over-allotment is exercised in full) will be freely tradeable
without restriction. The remaining 4,867,004 shares will be "Restricted
Securities" and may only be sold pursuant to a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including
the exemption provided by Rule 144. These shares are subject to registration
rights agreements requiring the Company to register such shares under certain
circumstances and otherwise will be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 on
September 1, 1996. See "Principal and Selling Shareholders," "Description of
Capital Stock -- Registration Rights," "Shares Eligible for Future Sale," and
"Underwriting."

                                  THE COMPANY
 
   
     Romac International, Inc. was formed in August 1994 as a result of the 1994
Combination. The 1994 Combination was initiated by the largest franchisee, whose
management assumed control of the combined Company and the ROMAC(R) name. This
management group implemented the integration of the predecessor companies and
realized significant operating efficiencies. Management believes that the
integration enhanced the Company's ability to achieve uniform quality,
servicing, and pricing standards in providing its specialized services and
provides a strong base from which to expand.
    
 
   
     Since the Company's initial public offering in August 1995, the Company has
consummated the Acquisitions. The Acquisitions have enhanced the Company's
Contract Services capabilities, increased the Company's geographic presence, and
introduced outplacement services and human resource contract and outsourcing to
the Company's existing product offerings. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and
Capital Resources."
    
 
   
     The Company's principal office is located at 120 West Hyde Park Place,
Suite 200, Tampa, Florida 33606, and its telephone number is (813) 258-8855. The
Company's web site on the Internet is located at www.romacintl.com.
    
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
   
     The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 1,610,000 shares of
Common Stock offered by the Company hereby (after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses) are estimated to be
approximately $37.7 million (approximately $47.3 million if the Underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full).
    
 
   
     The Company intends to use its net proceeds from the Offering for expansion
of the Company's lines of service in existing Company-owned locations, for the
opening of new Company-owned locations, for possible acquisitions, and for
general corporate purposes. Pending such uses, the net proceeds will be invested
in short term, investment grade securities, certificates of deposit, or direct
or guaranteed obligations of the United States government. The Company is
currently in discussions with one of its franchisees for the purchase of certain
of such franchisee's assets. There can be no assurance that this possible
acquisition will be consummated. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources."
    
 
     The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares
offered by the Selling Shareholders. See "Principal and Selling Shareholders."
 
                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
     The Company does not intend for the foreseeable future to declare or pay
any cash dividends and intends to retain earnings, if any, for the future
operation and expansion of the Company's business.

                      SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
 
     The following table contains certain selected consolidated financial data
should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and
notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus. The balance sheet data as
of December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 and the operating statement data for each of
the years ended December 31, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995, are derived from the
audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company. The balance sheet data
as of December 31, 1991 and 1992 and March 31, 1995 and 1996 and the operating
statement data for of the year ended December 31, 1991 and for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, have been derived from the unaudited Consolidated
Financial Statements of the Company, which have been prepared on the same basis
as the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, and, in the opinion of
management, include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of
the results for such periods.
 
   
     During the first quarter of 1996, the Company completed the Acquisitions.
The pro forma statement of operations data gives effect to the Acquisitions as

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     The following discussion should be read in connection with the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto incorporated by
reference herein.
 
OVERVIEW
 
     The Company is a specialty staffing services firm providing temporary,
contract, and permanent placement of professional and technical personnel. The
Company currently operates in twelve metropolitan markets through Company-owned
locations and five additional metropolitan markets through franchised and
licensed locations. The Company offers its services through its three divisions,
the Professional Temporary Division, the Contract Services Division and the
Search Division.
 
  Strategy
 
     The Company's objective is to be the nationally recognized leader in
providing specialty staffing services. The Company strives to differentiate
itself from others in the staffing industry through innovative service
offerings, a consultative and results-oriented approach to client relationships,
and high-quality personnel placements. In pursuing its objective, the Company
focuses exclusively on providing professional and technical personnel, rather
than clerical or light industrial personnel, because of the generally higher
profitability and the opportunity for growth of this market segment. The Company
believes it has a recruiting advantage over those of its competitors that lack
the ability to offer candidates temporary, contract, and permanent
opportunities. Candidates seeking permanent employment frequently accept
temporary or contract assignments through the Company until a permanent position
becomes available. The Company also believes the ROMAC(R) name recognition,
coupled with its industry expertise and innovative use of technology, provide it
with competitive benefits.
 
     Since the Company's initial public offering in August 1995, the Company has
introduced Contract Services in its Philadelphia and Chicago locations,
introduced Search services in its Houston location, and expanded into the
Pittsburgh market through a new Company-owned location. The Company has also
consummated the Acquisitions. These strategic acquisitions have enhanced the
Company's Contract Services capabilities, increased the Company's geographic
presence, and added human resource contract and outsourcing, and outplacement
services, to the Company's existing product offerings.
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Net service revenues consist of sales from Company-owned and licensed
offices, and royalties received from franchised operations, net of credits and
discounts. The Company recognizes revenue from the Professional Temporary and
Contract Services Divisions based on hours worked by assigned personnel on a
weekly basis. Search Division revenues are recognized in contingency search
engagements upon the successful completion of the assignment. In retained search
engagements the initial retainer is recognized upon execution of the agreement,
with the balance recognized on completion of the search. Franchise fees are
determined based upon a contractual percentage of the revenue billed by
franchises. Costs relating to the support of franchised operations are included
in the Company's selling, general and administrative expenses. Under its
licensing arrangements, the Company is the legal employer of temporary and
contract personnel and accordingly includes revenues and related direct costs of
licensed offices in its net service revenues and direct cost of services,
respectively. Commissions paid to licensees are based upon a percentage of the
gross profit generated, and is included in the Company's direct cost of
services.
 
  Gross Profit
 
     Gross profit for the Professional Temporary and Contract Services Divisions
is determined by deducting the direct cost of services (temporary and contract
personnel payroll wages, payroll taxes, payroll-related insurances, and licensee
commissions) from the division's net service revenues. Consistent with industry
practices, the Search Division classifies all costs as selling, general, and
administrative.

</TABLE>
 
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1995
 
     Net Service Revenues.  Net service revenues increased 76.0% to $16.9
million in the first three months of 1996 from $9.6 million in the first three
months of 1995, primarily as a result of a $5.7 million increase in revenue from
existing Company-owned locations and a $1.6 million increase in revenues from
acquired operations.
 
     Professional Temporary Division revenues increased 35.8% to $7.2 million in
the first three months of 1996 from $5.3 million in the first three months of
1995. The increase resulted from an increase in the number of hours billed by
Company-owned operations during the three month period ended March 31, 1996
compared to the same period in 1995. Contract Services Division revenues
increased 231.6% to $6.3 million in the first three months of 1996 from $1.9
million in the first three months of 1995. This increase was a result of a $3.1
million increase in revenues from existing Company-owned operations and a $1.3
million increase in revenues from acquired operations. The increase attributable
to Company-owned operations resulted from an increase in the number of hours
billed during the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same
period in 1995. Search Division revenues increased 41.7% to $3.4 million in the
first three months of 1996 from $2.4 million in the first three months of 1995,
as a result of a $712,000 increase in revenues from existing Company-owned
operations and a $288,000 increase in revenues from acquired operations. The
increase in Company-owned operations resulted primarily from an increase in the
number of Search Division sales consultants, which increased the number of
placements made by the Search Division during the first three months of 1996 as
compared to the first three months of 1995. Franchise and license revenues,
which are included in the aforementioned division revenues, decreased 6.7% to
$836,000 in the first three months of 1996 from approximately $896,000 in the
first three months of 1995. The decrease was primarily due to the effects of
discontinued franchisee and licensee operations. The average hourly bill rate
for the Professional Temporary and Contract Services Divisions and the average
placement fee for the Search Division remained relatively constant for the
periods involved. The Company opened a new Company-owned location in Pittsburgh
during the three month period ended March 31, 1996.
 
     Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased 71.4% to $7.2 million in the first
three months of 1996 from $4.2 million in the first three months of 1995. Gross
profit as a percentage of net service revenues ("gross margin") decreased to
42.5% for the first three months of 1996 from 44.0% for the first three months
of 1995. This decrease was a result of the continuing changes in the Company's
business mix whereby revenues from the Professional Temporary and Contract
Services Divisions, traditionally with lower gross margins than Search Division
revenues, increased to 79.9% of the Company's net service revenues during the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 75.3% for the same period in
1995.
 
     Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general, and
administrative expenses increased 58.8% to $5.4 million in the first three
months of 1996 from $3.4 million in the first three months of 1995.
 
                                       15
<PAGE>   16
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net service
revenues decreased to 31.8% for the first three months of 1996 from 35.2% in the
first three months of 1995. This decrease in selling, general, and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net service revenues resulted from
greater operating efficiencies and economies of scale gained from a larger
revenue base.
 
     Other Income.  Other income decreased to approximately $147,000 in the
first three months of 1996 from approximately $461,000 in the first three months
of 1995. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in franchise termination
fees. Franchise termination income of approximately $107,000 was recorded in the
first three months of 1996 as compared to $435,000 during the same period in
1995. See "Business -- Markets and Organizational Structure."
 
     Income Before Taxes.  Income before taxes increased 41.7% to $1.7 million
in the first three months of 1996 from $1.2 million in the first three months of
1995, primarily as a result of the above factors.
 
     Provision for Taxes.  Provision for taxes in the first three months of 1996
was approximately $684,000 as compared to $485,000 in the first three months of
1995. The effective income tax rate was constant at approximately 40.0% for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.
 
     Net Income.  Net income increased to $1.0 million in the first three months
of 1996 from $727,000 in the first three months of 1995, primarily as a result
of the above factors.
 
1995 COMPARED TO 1994
 
     Net Service Revenues.  Net service revenues increased approximately 12.0%
to $45.7 million in 1995 from $40.8 million in 1994. The overall increase in net
service revenues takes into account an approximately $3.9 million decrease in
net service revenues from franchisee and licensee operations for 1995 as
compared to 1994, as several franchisee and licensee operations were
discontinued at the end of 1994.
 
     Professional Temporary Division revenues decreased approximately 2.0% to
$24.0 million in 1995 from $24.5 million in 1994. This decrease takes into
account an approximately $3.7 million decrease in professional temporary
revenues from franchisee and licensee operations for 1995 as compared to 1994,
as several professional temporary franchisee and licensee operations were
discontinued at the end of 1994. This decrease in revenues was attributable to a
decrease in the number of professional temporary hours billed in 1995 as
compared to 1994. Contract Services Division revenues increased approximately
45.1% to $11.9 million in 1995 from $8.2 million in 1994. This increase in
revenues was attributable to an increase in the number of Contract Service
Division hours billed in 1995 as compared to 1994. Search Division revenues
increased approximately 21.0% to $9.8 million in 1995 from $8.1 million in 1994.
This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in search sales
consultants and an improved economic environment which increased the number of
Search Division placements made in 1995 as compared to 1994. Franchise and
license revenues which are included in the aforementioned revenues, decreased
approximately 45.3% to $4.7 million in 1995 from $8.6 million in 1994. The
decrease was primarily attributable to the termination of four franchise and
license arrangements during the later part of 1994, offset in part by the growth
in existing service lines of continuing licensed operations.
 
     After taking into account the decreases in net service revenues
attributable to discontinued franchisee and licensee operations, the net service
revenues grew by approximately $4.9 million, reflecting a continued improvement
in demand for the Company's specialized staffing services. The average hourly
bill rate for the Professional Temporary and Contract Services Divisions and the
average placement fee for the Search Division remained relatively constant for
all the periods involved. The Company opened three new Company-owned locations
during 1995: Dallas in February; Philadelphia in March; and Houston in November.
 
     Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased approximately 27.0% to $20.2 million
in 1995 from $15.9 million in 1994. Gross margin increased to 44.2% in 1995 from
39.1% in 1994. The increase in gross margin resulted from the combined effects
of the decrease in franchisee and licensee revenue at lower margins and the
increase in Search Division revenue at higher margins.
 
                                       16
<PAGE>   17
 
     Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general, and
administrative expenses increased approximately 1.3% to $15.2 million in 1995
from $15.0 million in 1994. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net service revenues decreased to 33.3% in 1995 from 36.8% in
1994. This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net service revenues resulted from greater operating efficiencies
and economies of scale gained from a larger revenue base, along with expense
savings arising from the 1994 Combination.
 
     Combination Expenses.  The Company did not incur any combination expenses
in 1995 as compared to approximately $2.3 million of advisory services,
severance costs and other expenses related to the 1994 Combination that were
incurred in 1994.
 
     Other Income.  Other income decreased to $570,000 in 1995 from
approximately $1.2 million in 1994. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease
in franchise termination fees. Franchise termination income of approximately
$435,000 was recorded in 1995 as compared to $560,000 in 1994. In addition, the
Company received $500,000 in proceeds from a life insurance policy on a deceased
Company employee in 1994.
 
     Income (Loss) Before Taxes.  Income before taxes increased to $5.0 million
in 1995 from a loss of $413,000 in 1994, primarily as a result of the above
factors.
 
     Provision for Taxes.  Provision for taxes for 1995 was approximately $2.0
million or 40.0% of income before income taxes as compared to $186,000 for 1994.
Although the Company had an operating loss for financial reporting purposes in
1994, it had income tax expense of $186,000 primarily due to non-deductible
advisory fees related to the Combination.
 
     Net Income (Loss).  Net income increased to $3.0 million in 1995 from a
loss of $599,000 in 1994, primarily as a result of the above factors.
 
1994 COMPARED TO 1993
 
     Net Service Revenues.  Net service revenues increased 1.2% to $40.8 million
in 1994 from $40.3 million in 1993. In 1994, management focused its efforts on
effecting the 1994 Combination and restructuring the Company. These efforts
included the renegotiation of franchise and license agreements, the
implementation of uniform operating procedures and policies, training employees
of companies involved in the 1994 Combination, hiring additional employees and
the consolidation of the Company's operations.
 
     Professional Temporary Division revenues increased 0.8% to $24.5 million in
1994 from $24.3 million in 1993. Contract Services Division revenues decreased
9.9% to $8.2 million in 1994 from $9.1 million in 1993. The decrease resulted
primarily from the reallocation of resources from one of the Company's lower
margin customers, which decreased the number of hours billed by the Contract
Services Division during 1994 as compared to 1993. Search Division revenues
increased 17.4% to $8.1 million in 1994 from $6.9 million in 1993. The increase
was primarily attributable to an increase in Search Division sales consultants,
an expansion of services offered, and an improved economic environment, which
increased the number of placements made by the Search Division during 1994 as
compared to 1993. Franchise and license revenues, which are included in the
aforementioned division revenues, increased 19.4% to $8.6 million in 1994 from
$7.2 million in 1993. The increase was primarily attributable to the growth in
existing service lines of licensee operations, offset by the termination of four
franchise and license arrangements. The average hourly bill rate for the
Professional Temporary and Contract Services Divisions and the average placement
fee for the Search Division remained relatively constant for the periods
involved. The Company did not open any Company-owned locations in new markets in
1994.
 
     Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased 12.0% to $15.9 million in 1994 from
$14.2 million in 1993. Gross margin increased to 39.1% in 1994 from 35.2% in
1993. The increase was attributable to the increased proportion of Search
Division revenues to total revenues as Search Division revenues generate higher
gross margins than Professional Temporary and Contract Services Divisions
revenues.
 
     Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general, and
administrative expenses increased 17.2% to $15.0 million in 1994 from $12.8
million in 1993. The increase in selling, general and administrative
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   18
 
expenses was due primarily to the hiring of additional operating employees
necessary for parallel operations during the transition period after the
Combination, an increase in commissions associated with the increase in Search
Division revenues, and the payment of approximately $1.7 million in
non-recurring compensation expense.
 
     Combination Expenses.  In 1994, the Company recorded an expense of $2.3
million related to advisory services, severance costs and other expenses
associated with the Combination.
 
     Other (Income) Expense.  Other (income) expense increased to $1.2 million
of income in 1994 from $34,000 of expense in 1993. The increase was primarily
due to franchise termination fees. Franchise termination income of approximately
$560,000 was recorded in 1994. In addition, the Company received $500,000 in
proceeds from a life insurance policy on a deceased Company employee in 1994.
 
     Income (Loss) Before Taxes.  Income from operations decreased to a loss of
$413,000 in 1994 from income of $1.1 million in 1993, primarily as a result of
the above factors.
 
     Provision for Taxes.  Although the Company had an operating loss for
financial reporting purposes in 1994, it had income tax expense of approximately
$186,000 as compared to $448,000 in 1993. The primary reason for the income tax
expense in 1994, despite operating losses, was the non-deductibility of advisory
fees relating to the 1994 Combination.
 
     Net Income (Loss).  Net income (loss) decreased to a loss of $599,000 in
1994 from $650,000 of income in 1993, primarily as a result of the above
factors.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     The Company's principal sources of cash have been the proceeds of its
initial public offering, internally generated funds, and borrowings.
 
     The Company completed its initial public offering of 2,080,000 shares of
Common Stock on August 14, 1995. The proceeds of $11,402,146 (net of
underwriters' discounts and other offering costs) were used for paying down
debt, financing capital improvements, general working capital purposes, and
financing business acquisitions.
 
     The purchase price for the Acquisitions was approximately $5.9 million in
the aggregate and is subject to adjustment based upon attainment of certain
operating results of the acquired companies. The respective purchase agreements
require certain payments based on the earnings before income taxes for the
acquired company that are in excess of certain earnings levels. Such additional
purchase price payments, if made, will be reflected as additional goodwill and
amortized over the remaining life of the asset. See "Unaudited Pro Forma
Consolidated Financial Information."
 
     The Company's principal use of cash is to fund payroll expenses and
accounts receivable. Professional Temporary Division and Contract Services
Division personnel are paid weekly for their services, whereas customer payments
are generally received within 45 to 60 days from date of invoice. As new offices
are established or acquired, or as existing offices expand, there will be
increasing requirements for cash resources to fund operations. The start-up of
services by the Professional Temporary or Contract Services Division in a new or
existing Company-owned location has generally required expenditures of up to
$175,000 before generating positive cash flow. Historically, such new operations
have achieved operating profitability within nine months of inception but have
not contributed significant revenue for the first 12 to 18 months.
 
     For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company had negative cash
flow from operations of approximately $1.2 million, primarily as the result of
an increase in the Company's accounts receivable. During March 1996, the Company
entered into a new unsecured line of credit agreement with NationsBank, N.A.
(South). This agreement provides for up to $5.0 million of working capital to
the Company for general corporate purposes. This agreement matures on March 13,
1997 and bears interest at 150 basis points above the London Interbank Offering
Rate (LIBOR). The total amount that may be outstanding under this agreement is
limited to specified percentages of accounts receivable. This agreement contains
restrictive covenants and requires the maintenance of certain financial ratios.
As of March 31, 1996, no borrowings were
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   19
 
outstanding under this facility. Prior to entering into this new agreement, the
Company terminated its previous line of credit.
 
     The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for expansion
of the Company's lines of service in existing Company-owned locations, for the
opening of new Company-owned locations, for possible acquisitions, and for
general corporate purpose. Pending such uses, the net proceeds will be invested
in short term, investment grade securities, certificates of deposit, or direct
or guaranteed obligations of the United States government.
 
     The Company has entered into discussions regarding the possible purchase of
certain of the assets of one of its franchisees. In August 1995, the relevant
franchise agreement was amended (the "Amendment") to provide the Company with an
option to terminate the franchise arrangement upon 90 days notice, provided that
substantially all of the assets of the franchisee are purchased by the Company.
The purchase price established by the Amendment is determined by a formula, with
a minimum purchase price of $3.0 million. There can be no assurance that this
possible acquisition will be consummated. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
     The Company believes that the net proceeds from the Offering, combined with
cash flows from operations and credit facilities, will be adequate to meet its
capital requirements for at least the remainder of 1996.

GENERAL
 
     Romac International, Inc. is a specialty staffing services firm providing
temporary, contract, and permanent placement of professional and technical
personnel. The Company is organized into three divisions: the Professional
Temporary Division provides professional temporary personnel in the fields of
finance and accounting; the Contract Services Division provides information
systems, manufacturing services, human resources, health care, and
pharmaceutical personnel generally on a longer-term contractual basis; and the
Search Division provides permanent placement of specialized personnel in the
fields of accounting and finance, information systems, financial services,
pharmaceutical research, health care, human resources, insurance, manufacturing
services, and sales and marketing. The Company believes its range of services
provides clients with integrated solutions to their temporary, contract, and
permanent specialty staffing needs, allowing the Company to develop long-term,
consultative relationships with its clients. The Company also believes the
interaction among its three divisions generates increased placement
opportunities and enhances the Company's ability to attract and place higher
quality candidates. The Company principally serves Fortune 1000 companies in
twelve metropolitan markets through Company-owned locations and five additional
markets through franchisees and licensees.
 
     The Company's objective is to be the nationally recognized leader in
providing specialty staffing services. The Company strives to differentiate
itself from others in the staffing industry through innovative service
offerings, a consultative and results-oriented approach to client relationships,
and high-quality personnel placements. In pursuing its objective, the Company
focuses exclusively on providing professional and technical personnel, rather
than clerical or light industrial personnel, because of the generally higher
profitability and the opportunity for growth of this market segment. The Company
believes it has a recruiting advantage over those of its competitors that lack
the ability to offer candidates temporary, contract, and permanent
opportunities. Candidates seeking permanent employment frequently accept
temporary or contract assignments through the Company until a permanent position
becomes available. The Company also believes the ROMAC(R) name recognition,
coupled with its industry expertise and innovative use of technology, provide it
with competitive benefits.
 
     The Company's growth strategy is to increase revenue and profitability by
expanding its services in existing markets and introducing its full range of
services into new markets. In existing markets, the Company intends to further
develop existing clients and expand its client base by (i) introducing its full
range of services in all of its markets, (ii) taking advantage of the
cross-selling opportunities provided by the complementary services offered by
its three divisions, (iii) introducing new services, and (iv) acquiring
complementary businesses. The Company intends to enter new markets by opening
new Company-owned locations and making strategic acquisitions. In the last
twelve months, the Company has entered four new markets: two through start-ups,
one through franchise conversion to a Company-owned location, and one through
acquisition. In addition, the Company has developed a major accounts program,
which encourages large users of staffing services to "carve-out" the
professional and technical segments of staffing contracts and award such
business to the Company instead of large generalist staffing firms. As a result
of this program, the Company has signed several contracts with major national
corporations for certain of the Company's services. Management believes there is
substantial opportunity for growth through the continued implementation of this
strategy.
 
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
 
     The temporary employment service industry has experienced significant
growth in response to the changing work environment in the United States.
Fundamental changes in the employer-employee relationship continue to occur,
with employers developing increasingly stringent criteria for permanent
employees while moving toward project-oriented temporary and contract hiring.
This trend has been advanced by increasing automation that has resulted in
shorter technological cycles and by global competitive pressures. Many employers
have responded to these challenges by turning to temporary and contract
personnel to keep personnel costs variable, to achieve maximum flexibility, to
outsource highly specialized skills, and to avoid the negative effects of
layoffs.
 
                                       20
<PAGE>   21
 
     Rapidly changing regulations concerning employee benefits, health
insurance, and retirement plans and the highly competitive business climate have
also prompted many employers to take advantage of the flexibility offered
through temporary and contract staffing. Additionally, Internal Revenue Service
and Department of Labor regulations concerning the classification of employees
and independent contractors have significantly increased demand by prompting
many independent contractors to affiliate with employers like the Company.
 
     The temporary staffing industry has grown rapidly in recent years as
companies have utilized temporary employees to manage personnel costs while
meeting specialized or fluctuating staffing requirements. According to a study
by the National Association of Temporary and Staffing Services ("NATSS"), the
United States temporary staffing industry grew from approximately $20.4 billion
in revenue in 1991 to approximately $39.2 billion in revenue in 1995, a compound
annual growth rate of 17.7%. One of the fastest growing sectors for the Company,
as well as the industry, is information technology services. According to the
Staffing Industry Report, 1995 revenue for this sector is estimated to have been
$8.9 billion, a 25.0% increase over 1994. The Company believes that professional
and technical staffing within the temporary staffing industry requires
longer-term, more highly-skilled personnel services and offers the opportunity
for higher profitability than the clerical and light industrial staffing
segments, because of the value-added nature of professional and technical
staffing personnel. NATSS has estimated that more than 90.0% of all U.S.
businesses utilize temporary staffing services.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
     The Company's objective is to be a nationally recognized leader in
providing its specialty staffing services. The key elements of the Company's
business strategy in seeking to achieve this objective include:
 
     Focus on Specialty Staffing.  The Company focuses exclusively on providing
specialty staffing services to its clients. The Company believes that providing
these specialty services to its clients offers greater profitability than the
clerical and light industrial sectors of the temporary staffing industry. In
addition, the Company believes, based upon data published by the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics and other sources, that employment growth will be greater in
the Company's sectors than in the traditional clerical and light industrial
sectors. The placement of highly skilled personnel requires a distinct
operational knowledge to effectively recruit and screen candidates, match them
to client needs, and develop and manage client relationships. The Company
believes its historical focus in this market and name recognition, combined with
management's operating expertise, provide it with a competitive advantage.
 
     Build Long-Term, Consultative Relationships.  The Company has developed
long-term relationships with its clients by providing integrated solutions to
their specialty staffing requirements. Romac strives to differentiate by working
closely with its clients to maximize their return on human assets. In addition,
the Company's ability to offer a broad range of temporary and contract personnel
services coupled with its permanent placement capability, offers the client a
single-source provider of specialty staffing services. This ability enables the
Company to emphasize consultative rather than transactional client
relationships.
 
     Segment Specialty Needs.  The Company has begun implementation of its
"carve-out" marketing strategy, which encourages large contractors of staffing
services to "carve-out" the professional and technical sectors of staffing
contracts and award such business to specialty staffing services providers
instead of large generalist staffing firms. As a result of this strategy the
Company has signed several contracts with major national corporations for
certain of the Company's services. Management believes there is substantial
opportunity for growth through the continued implementation of this strategy.
 
     Achieve Extensive Client Penetration.  The Company's client development
process focuses on repeated contacts with client personnel responsible for
staffing decisions. Contacts are made within numerous functional departments and
at many different organizational levels within the client. The Company's
operating employees are trained to develop a thorough understanding of each
client's total staffing requirements. In addition, although the Company is
organized divisionally its employees are trained and incentivized to recognize
cross-selling opportunities for all of the Company's other divisions.
 
     Apply Innovative Technology.  The Company utilizes proprietary technologies
and processes in the staffing, marketing, and management of its operations. The
Company's Professional Recruiters Operating
 
                                       21
<PAGE>   22
 
System ("PROS") provides operating employees with a systematic approach to
identifying, monitoring, and serving the needs of the Company's clients. Once
operating employees obtain information regarding a client's environment, the
data is entered into the Company's integrated operating system and is coded for
future follow-up. Operating employees are then prompted by means of an automated
planner to contact the client periodically to monitor and service the needs that
have been identified. The Company's emphasis on the utilization of technology
has resulted in the delivery of higher quality service, greater operating
efficiency, and increased employee productivity. See "Business -- Professional
Recruiters Operating System."
 
     Recruit High-Quality Professionals.  The Company places great emphasis on
recruiting qualified temporary, contract, and permanent placement candidates.
The Company believes it has a recruiting advantage over those of its competitors
that lack the ability to offer candidates both temporary, contract and permanent
opportunities. Candidates seeking permanent employment frequently accept
temporary or contract assignments through the Company until a permanent position
becomes available. Each candidate is screened by an operating employee with a
compatible technical background to determine qualifications and match them with
client needs.
 
     Encourage Operating Employee Achievement.  The Company's management
promotes a quality-focused, results-oriented culture. Operating employees are
selected based on their willingness to assume responsibility and promote the
Company's philosophy. All marketing, staffing, and management employees are
given numerous incentives to encourage the achievement of corporate goals. The
Company fosters a team-oriented and high energy environment, celebrates the
successes of its employees, and attempts to create a "spirited" work
environment.
 
GROWTH STRATEGY
 
     The Company's growth strategy is to expand its services in existing markets
where it does not offer its full range of services, and to enter new markets.
The key elements of the Company's growth strategy are as follows:
 
     Introduce Full Services in Markets with Existing Company-Owned
Locations.  The Company currently offers its full range of services in seven of
its twelve Company-owned locations. The Company has been implementing a plan to
introduce the Contract Services Division's services into each of the remaining
Company-owned locations. As part of its expansion strategy, the Company recently
introduced Contract Services into the following Company-owned locations: Dallas
(March 1995), Boston (June 1995), Chicago (October 1995), and Philadelphia
(March 1996). The Company introduced Search Division services into Houston in
February 1996. See "Business -- Markets and Organizational Structure."
 
     Open Company-Owned Locations.  The Company continually evaluates potential
geographic expansion into new metropolitan areas. To facilitate new market
entry, the Company plans to transfer or recruit experienced personnel for
positions in new Company-owned locations as they are opened. The Company has
opened offices in Dallas (February 1995), Philadelphia (March 1995), Houston
(November 1995), Pittsburgh (February 1996), and Minneapolis (April 1996).
 
     Leverage Existing Client Relationships and Develop New Clients.  The
Company continually identifies additional growth opportunities within existing
and new clients as a result of the interrelationships among its three divisions.
The Company has established goals for cross-selling and has trained and
incentivized its operating employees to actively sell the Company's full range
of services, in an effort to maximize its reach into the marketplace.
 
     Introduce New Services.  The Company continually evaluates the introduction
of new services in an effort to meet client demands. The Company has recently
introduced contract placement of pharmaceutical, health care, and manufacturing
services personnel to complement its existing search capabilities in these
areas. Additionally, the Company recently acquired an entity that provides
outplacement services and human resource contract and outsourcing services. To
enhance the technical capabilities and perceived quality of the Contract
Services Division, the Company has formed an emerging technologies group in
which selected employees receive extensive training in information technologies
and are assigned to client environments for periods ranging from six months to
two years.
 
                                       22
<PAGE>   23
 
     Develop Major Accounts Program.  The Company will continue to market its
full range of services to existing and new clients in order to position the
Company as the preferred vendor for specialty staffing services. The Company
believes the major accounts program enables it to further penetrate its clients
by giving the Company greater access to key staffing decision makers including
the support of the client's purchasing and procurement team. This increased
access allows the Company to achieve greater operating leverage through improved
efficiencies in the marketing process. The Company has successfully secured
several national agreements for technical and professional specialty staffing
services. The Company intends to aggressively pursue such agreements to
facilitate geographic expansion and existing market penetration.
 
     Acquire Strategic Businesses.  The Company will continue to pursue the
acquisition of complementary specialty staffing businesses. The Company's
preference is to acquire businesses in markets in which the Company currently
has a Company-owned location or formerly maintained a franchised or licensed
location, although other markets will also be explored. The Company has as its
primary acquisition candidates local or regional specialty staffing firms with
established client relationships, in markets targeted by the Company.
 
THE PROFESSIONAL TEMPORARY DIVISION
 
     The Professional Temporary Division provides professional temporary
personnel in the fields of finance and accounting. For the year ended December
31, 1995, and the three months ended March 31, 1996, this division accounted for
approximately 52.5% and 42.4%, respectively, of the Company's net service
revenues. The Company currently offers professional temporary services in eleven
metropolitan markets through Company-owned locations and five other metropolitan
markets through franchised and licensed locations. In the first three months of
1996, the average bill rate for the Professional Temporary Division was
approximately $18 per hour.
 
     The Professional Temporary Division offers its clients a reliable and
cost-effective means of handling uneven or peak workloads caused by events such
as periodic financial reporting deadlines, tax deadlines, special projects,
systems conversions, and unplanned staffing fluctuations. The Professional
Temporary Division meets such clients' needs with personnel who have an
extensive range of accounting and financial experience, including corporate
taxation, budget preparation and analysis, financial reporting, regulatory
filings, payroll preparation, cost analysis, and audit services. Through the use
of the Company's services, clients are able to avoid the cost and inconvenience
of hiring and terminating permanent employees. Typically, the duration of
assignments in the Professional Temporary Division is six to eight weeks.
 
     Candidates for the Professional Temporary Division are obtained from the
Search Division, referrals, and advertising in local newspapers and on the
Company's home page on the World Wide Web. The Company believes it has a
competitive advantage in attracting candidates because of the interaction
between its Professional Temporary and Search Divisions. Access by the
Professional Temporary Division to the Search Division's candidate pool provides
a candidate the opportunity to obtain permanent employment as a result of a
temporary assignment, earnings that may allow a candidate to be more selective
when evaluating permanent opportunities, and additional experience that can
enhance a candidate's skills and overall marketability. Each candidate is
screened by an operating employee with a compatible background to determine his
qualifications and to match these qualifications with individual client needs.
This screening includes an in-depth interview, skill testing, reference checks,
and, in some cases, credit checks and additional background checks.
 
     The Professional Temporary Division targets Fortune 1000 companies and
other large organizations, with a primary focus on organizations determined to
have the potential need for the Company's full range of services. In order to
maximize its marketing effectiveness, the Company provides extensive training to
its employees which emphasizes the consulting nature of its business. The
Company's employees develop marketing plans composed of multiple visits,
frequent telemarketing activity, monthly mailings, and other actions supported
through the use of the PROS and daily staff meetings. The Company believes that
these techniques and processes provide the opportunity to expand its business
within its clients' organizations, solidify client relationships, and develop
new clients. The Company recognizes that in some cases Professional Temporary
Division personnel will be offered permanent positions. If a client requests
that a temporary employee become a permanent employee, the Company typically
charges a "conversion" fee that is calculated as a percentage of the candidate's
initial annual compensation.
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   24
 
THE CONTRACT SERVICES DIVISION
 
     The Contract Services Division provides information systems, manufacturing
services, human resources, health care, and pharmaceutical personnel on a
contractual basis, which typically averages six to nine months in duration. For
the year ended December 31, 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1996, this
division accounted for approximately 26.0% and 37.5%, respectively, of the
Company's net service revenues. In the three months ended March 31, 1996, this
division had an average bill rate of approximately $49 per hour. The Company
currently provides Contract Services in eight metropolitan markets through
Company-owned locations and two additional metropolitan markets through a
franchised location. The Company plans to introduce Contract Services to three
additional Company-owned locations in 1996.
 
     The Contract Services Division has traditionally focused on providing
information systems personnel to assist clients whose needs range from mainframe
environments to single work stations. These consultants perform a wide range of
services, including software development, database design and management, system
administration, end-user training and acceptance, network design and
integration, information strategy development, business and systems plans, and
standardization of technology and business procedures. The size and growth of
the information services industry in recent years have been driven largely by
rapid technological advances. These advances have included the availability of
increased computing power at lower costs and the emergence of new information
systems capabilities. As a result, the ability of companies to benefit from the
application of computer technology has been greatly enhanced and has been
accompanied by a dramatic increase in the number of end users. At the same time,
the sophistication and complexity of the systems needed to serve these companies
and to deliver the desired benefits have greatly increased. Additionally, the
need to contain costs has caused many businesses to reduce the number of
personnel resulting in increased dependence upon information systems to support
important functions and to improve productivity.
 
     The Company's base of skilled technical personnel is integral to its
success. Because technical needs are diverse and technology advances occur
frequently, technical talent is in high demand. As a result, the Contract
Services Division focuses heavily on its recruiting efforts. In addition, the
Company focuses on training its contract services personnel in sophisticated
technology applications. For example, the Company has formed an emerging
technologies group in which selected personnel receive extensive training in
information technologies and are assigned to client environments for periods
ranging from six months to two years. The Company believes that building a base
of skilled technical personnel who are available for assignment is as integral
to its success as are its client relationships.
 
     The March 1996 acquisition of Strategic Outsourcing, Inc. ("SOI"), expanded
the Company's Contract Services capabilities with the introduction of human
resource personnel contracting. SOI, which was formed in 1989 in Boston,
provides its clients human resource personnel on a contractual basis to assist
in the development, implementation, and maintenance of a wide variety of human
resource processes. The Company currently provides human resource contracting
only in the Boston market. The Company intends to introduce this new service
offering into its existing markets.
 
     The Company recently expanded its Contract Services Division in the first
quarter of 1996 to include manufacturing services, health care, and
pharmaceutical personnel. In the field of manufacturing services personnel, the
Contract Services Division provides a wide range of quality engineers and
quality assurance personnel. The Contract Services Division provides all levels
of hospital administration and management with respect to health care. The
Contract Services Division also serves the pharmaceutical industry through
pharmaceutical research and regulatory personnel. Because the Company recently
began serving these fields, there can be no assurance that the Company's
performance in these new areas will be as successful as the Company's
performance has been in information systems.
 
     Company recruiters develop and maintain an active personnel inventory
designed to meet the needs of the Company's clients. To recruit qualified
personnel, the Company uses targeted telephone recruiting, obtains referrals
from its existing personnel and clients, and places newspaper advertisements.
The Search Division's services complement the Contract Services Division's
recruiting efforts, and the Company believes that this combination distinguishes
it from its competitors. To foster loyalty and commitment from its existing
personnel, the Company maintains frequent contact and offers competitive wages,
flexible schedules, and exposure to a variety of working environments.
 
                                       24

     The Contract Services Division concentrates on marketing its services to
Fortune 1000 companies and other businesses with information systems,
manufacturing services, human resources, health care, and pharmaceutical
personnel requirements. Sales personnel emphasize the Companys's ability to
provide contract personnel who can perform a wide range of services within each
of these areas through consultative contacts with client end-users, personal
visits, mailings, and telemarketing efforts.
 
THE SEARCH DIVISION
 
     The Search Division provides clients with extensive search services for
professional and technical candidates. The professional skills offered by the
Search Division are in the areas of accounting and finance, information
services, financial services, pharmaceutical research, health care, human
resources, insurance, manufacturing services, and sales and marketing. For the
year ended December 31, 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1996, this
division accounted for approximately 21.5% and 20.1%, respectively, of the
Company's net service revenues. The Company currently offers Search services in
eleven metropolitan markets in which it has Company-owned locations and in five
additional metropolitan markets through franchised or licensed locations.
 
     The Company performs both contingency and retained searches. A contingency
search results in payment to the Company only when a candidate is actually hired
by a client. The Company's strategy is to perform contingency searches only for
skills the Company targets as its "core-business." Client searches that are
outside a core-business area typically are at a management or executive level
and require a targeted research and recruiting effort. The Company typically
performs these searches as retained searches where the client pays a part of the
search fee in advance and the remainder upon completion of the search. The
Company's fee is typically structured as a percentage of the placed candidate's
first-year annual compensation.

     The Search Division maintains an active database of placement candidates as
the result of its continuous recruiting efforts and reputation in the industry.
In addition, the Search Division consultants locate many potential candidates as
the result of referrals from the Professional Temporary and Contract Services
Divisions.
 
     The Company believes that it has developed a reputation for quality search
work and that it is recognized as a leader in its search specialties. To
minimize the risk of changes in skill demand, the Company's marketing plan
incorporates a continual review of client recruitment plans for future periods
to allow for rapid changes to "in-demand" skills. The quality of the
relationship with client personnel is a key component of the strategy, and the
Company seeks to use consultative relationships to obtain insight into emerging
growth areas. The clients targeted by the Search Division are typically the same
as those targeted by the Professional Temporary and the Contract Services
Divisions. This common focus is intended to contribute to the Company's
objective of providing integrated solutions to its clients' personnel needs.
 
     The Company's search business is highly specialized. Certain skills, such
as accounting and finance and information systems, may be served by local
offices, while other, more highly specialized areas require a
 
                                       26
<PAGE>   27
 
regional or national focus. The Company believes that a trend toward greater
selectivity in its clients' hiring processes has contributed to an increased
demand for its search services. This emphasis on quality fits well with the
Company's inventory of personnel. The Company expects that the Search Division
will continue to add specialties in the majority of markets served.
 
MARKETS AND ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
 
     The Company serves twelve markets through Company-owned locations and an
additional five markets through franchisees and licensees. Management of the
Company-owned operations is coordinated from its headquarters in Tampa. The
Company's headquarters provides its Company-owned offices with administrative,
marketing, accounting, training, legal, and information systems support,
particularly as it relates to the standardization of the operating processes of
its offices.
 
     The Company operates through a network of Company-owned locations,
franchised locations, and licensed locations. The following table lists the
services offered by the Company on a market by market basis.

     ROMAC(R) franchisees pay a royalty in return for use of the ROMAC(R) name
based upon a contractual percentage of the revenue billed by the franchisee.
Licensees enter into a joint marketing and payroll processing arrangement with
the Company. In the case of licensees, the Company collects all accounts on
behalf of the licensee and pays the licensee a percentage of gross profits
generated. The Company does not intend to grant additional franchises or
licenses in the future.
 
     In August 1994, all franchisees and licensees were offered the opportunity
to continue operating under current agreements or to terminate their
relationships with the Company on terms that included the ability to continue in
business in their previously franchised or licensed geographic areas. Because
current franchise and license agreements upon termination invoke non-competition
and non-solicitation provisions and require that certain assets (such as office
telephone numbers, customer lists, and candidate records) be turned over to the
Company, some franchisees and licensees paid termination fees in order to obtain
releases from non-competition and non-solicitation provisions and to retain the
rights to such assets. To date, all but five franchisees or licensees have
agreed to terminate their relationship with the Company.

PROFESSIONAL RECRUITERS OPERATING SYSTEM
 
     The Company has developed a proprietary integrated system designed to
maximize productivity and to aid in the management of its business. PROS is
designed to be a comprehensive approach to the operation and management of a
specialty staffing firm. It comprises sophisticated and proprietary operating
and computer systems initially developed in 1982 and continually enhanced. The
system links each Company-owned location through the use of its private network
to the Company's corporate headquarters.
 
     PROS offers several advantages in providing information to support the
goals of the Company. Through the use of PROS, market information concerning
target clients is tracked and prioritized to focus marketing and development
efforts. Readily available management reports indicate the frequency and nature
of contact with the targeted companies to support the marketing plans. By using
these reports, managers provide direction and support to operating personnel to
ensure that priority accounts are properly served. A manager, concerned with the
status of a particular assignment at any point, can examine the detailed status
and degree of coverage on each assignment. PROS offers both detailed and summary
reports to provide a continuous view of key factors related to client service
and development and employee productivity.
 
     In addition to client service considerations, PROS enhances the
productivity and efficiency of the operating employees. One of the primary
problems facing operating employees is the effective and productive use of
information. PROS simplifies the information recording and retrieval problem and
enables operating employees in different divisions and different geographical
areas to share information and communicate more effectively.
 
     Finally, PROS helps the Company manage information by passing data from the
operating divisions software to the accounting software. This approach increases
productivity, as data have a single point of entry and can be readily accessed
by all functional areas within the Company. The Company intends to continue to
enhance its systems capabilities to streamline processes in order to improve
customer servicing.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The specialty staffing services industry is very competitive and
fragmented. There are relatively limited barriers to entry and new competitors
frequently enter the market. A number of the Company's competitors possess
substantially greater resources than the Company. The Company faces substantial
competition from large national firms and local specialty staffing firms. Large
national firms that offer specialty staffing services include Robert Half
International, Computer Horizons, Inc., and Alternative Resources Corporation.
The local firms are typically operator-owned, and each market generally has one
or more significant competitors. In addition, the Company competes with national
clerical and light industrial staffing firms which also offer specialty
services. These companies include Interim Services, Inc., Norrell Corporation,
AccuStaff Incorporated, and Olsten Corp. In addition, national and regional
accounting firms also offer certain specialty staffing services.
 
     The Company believes that the availability and quality of candidates, the
level of service, the effective monitoring of job performance, scope of
geographic service and the price of service are the principal elements of
competition. The Company believes that availability of quality candidates is an
especially important facet of competition. In order to attract temporary and
contract assignment candidates, the Company places emphasis upon its ability to
provide permanent placement opportunities, competitive compensation, quality and
varied assignments, and scheduling flexibility. Because many temporary and
contract assignment candidates pursue other employment opportunities on a
regular basis, it is important that the Company respond to market conditions
affecting temporary candidates. Additionally, in certain markets the Company has
experienced significant pricing pressure from some of its competitors. Although
the Company believes it competes favorably with respect to these factors, it
expects competition to increase, and there can be no assurance that the Company
will remain competitive.
 
PROPERTIES
 
     The Company owns no real estate. It leases its corporate headquarters in
Tampa, Florida (see "Certain Transactions"), as well as space for its other
Company-owned locations. The aggregate square footage of office space under
leases for Company-owned locations is approximately 46,000. The leases generally
run for three to
 
                                       28
<PAGE>   29
 
five-year terms and the aggregate annual rent paid by the Company in 1995 was
approximately $750,000. The Company believes that its facilities are adequate
for its needs and does not expect difficulty replacing such facilities or
locating additional facilities, if needed.
 
INSURANCE
 
     The Company maintains a number of insurance policies. Its general liability
policy has aggregate coverage of $2.0 million, with a $1.0 million limit per
occurrence. The Company maintains an automobile liability policy with a combined
single coverage limit of $1.0 million. The Company also carries an excess
liability policy, which covers liabilities that exceed the policy limits of the
above policies, with an aggregate and a per occurrence limit of $2.0 million.
 
     The Company also maintains professional liability and errors and omissions
policies, each with aggregate coverage of $1.0 million, covering certain
liabilities that may arise from the actions or omissions of its temporary or
permanently-placed personnel. The Company currently maintains key man life
insurance on Mr. Dunkel in the amount of $3.0 million. There can be no assurance
that any of the above coverages will be adequate for the Company's needs. See
"Risk Factors -- Employment Liability Risk."
 
EMPLOYEES
 
     As of March 31, 1996, the Company and its subsidiaries employed
approximately 280 persons. Additionally, as of such date, the Company had
approximately 1,150 individuals on assignment providing professional temporary
or contract services to its clients. As the employer, the Company is responsible
for the regular and temporary payrolls and employer's share of social security
taxes (FICA), federal and state unemployment taxes, workers' compensation
insurance, and other direct labor costs relating to its temporary and contract
personnel (including temporary and contract personnel of its licensees). The
Company offers access to various insurance programs and other benefits for its
temporary and contract personnel. The Company has no collective bargaining
agreements covering any of its employees or personnel, has never experienced any
material labor disruption, and is unaware of any current efforts or plans to
organize its employees or personnel. The Company considers relations with its
employees and personnel to be good.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is from time to time
threatened with or named as a defendant in various lawsuits, including
discrimination and harassment and other similar claims. The Company maintains
insurance in such amounts and with such coverages and deductibles as management
believes are reasonable. The principal risks that the Company insures against
are workers' compensation, personal injury, bodily injury, property damage,
professional malpractice, errors and omissions, and fidelity losses. The Company
is not currently involved in any material litigation and is not aware of any
threatened material litigation; however, the Company does have a current dispute
with a computer hardware vendor. The Company believes that the vendor delivered
computer equipment that did not meet promised performance standards. There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain a satisfactory settlement
without instituting litigation or that the vendor will not assert counterclaims
against the Company. The Company does not believe that the results of any
litigation would have a material effect on its financial condition. See "Risk
Factors -- Reliance on Information Processing Systems."

COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
     Pursuant to the terms of the Company's articles of incorporation and
bylaws, the Board of Directors has the power to set the number of directors (but
not to more than 12 members) by resolution adopted by the directors of the
Company. The directors are divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number
as possible. Each director in a particular class is elected to serve a
three-year term or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. The
classes are staggered so that their terms expire in successive years.
Accordingly, only one class of directors is elected each year and currently the
number of directors is set at seven. The Company intends to maintain at all
times at least two independent directors on its Board of Directors.
 
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
     Audit Committee.  The Company has established an Audit Committee composed
of Messrs. Dominici, Tunstall, and Carey. The Audit Committee makes
recommendations concerning the engagement of independent public accountants,
review with the independent public accountants the plans and results of the
audit engagement, approve professional services provided by the independent
public accountants, review the independence of the independent public
accountants, consider the range of audit and non-audit fees and review the
adequacy of the Company's internal accounting controls.
 
     Compensation Committee.  The Company has established a Compensation
Committee, consisting of Messrs. Dunkel, Tunstall and Carey. The Compensation
Committee determines the compensation of the Company's executive officers.
 
     Stock Option Committee.  Messrs. Dunkel and Sutter are the members of the
Company's Stock Option Committee and are ineligible to receive discretionary
grants of stock, stock options or stock appreciation rights, under any plan of
the Company during the time they serve on the Committee. The Stock Option
Committee administers the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan, and makes all
determinations as to grants of options. See "Management -- Incentive Stock
Option Plan."
 
     Other Committees.  The Board of Directors may establish other committees as
deemed necessary or appropriate from time to time, including, but not limited
to, an Executive Committee of the Board of Directors.
 
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
 
     Directors who are not employees of the Company are paid $5,000 annually
plus $500 for each board meeting attended, and $500 for each committee meeting
attended if such meetings occur on a day other than a scheduled meeting of the
Board of Directors. In addition, the Company reserved 200,000 shares of Common
Stock for future issuance upon the exercise of stock options that may be granted
to such non-employee directors. During 1995, Messrs. Tunstall and Carey were
each granted ten-year options to purchase 20,000

shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $9.375 per share. These
options vest 50% per year beginning one year from the option grant date. All
directors receive reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with meetings of the Board of Directors. No director who is an
employee of the Company receives separate compensation for services rendered as
a director.

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
     The Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") provides for
the grant to employees of incentive stock options within the meaning of Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Option
Plan is intended to provide incentives to key employees and to enhance the
Company's ability to attract and retain qualified employees. The Option Plan
originally was adopted by the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Company
in September 1994. A total of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock has been reserved
for issuance under the Option Plan. Between September 19, 1994 and April 1,
1996, the Company's Stock Option Committee granted stock options covering a
total of 1,220,748 shares of Common Stock (net of forfeitures) to various
employees (including options to purchase 369,864 shares issued to certain
directors and executive officers) at exercise prices ranging from $2.73 per
share to $15.375 per share.
 
     The duration of options granted under the Option Plan is ten years from the
date of grant, or such shorter period as determined by the Stock Option
Committee. The options are non-transferable other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
     The Company has entered into employment agreements with David L. Dunkel,
Maureen A. Rorech, Howard W. Sutter, and Peter Dominici effective January 1,
1995. Each of these agreements is for a period of two years and provides for an
annual base salary and certain other benefits. The annual base salaries for
fiscal 1996 for Mr. Dunkel, Ms. Rorech, Mr. Sutter, and Mr. Dominici are
$200,000, $150,000, $150,000, and $110,000, respectively. The employment
agreements prohibit these executives from participating in the Company's bonus
incentive pool during the term of the agreements. The employment agreements also
provide that the executives are entitled to severance benefits if their
employment is terminated by the Company "without cause" (as defined in the
employment agreements). In such a case, the executive would receive his or her
full compensation for a period of two years. The employment agreements also
provide that upon a change in control of the Company each executive would be
entitled to receive an immediate lump sum payment equal to twice the executive's
annual salary, subject to certain limitations. In general, a change in control
is defined by the employment agreements to be any replacement of 50% or more of
the directors of the Company that follows and is directly or indirectly the
result of certain extraordinary corporate occurrences, such as a merger or other
business combination involving the Company, a tender offer for the Company's
stock, a solicitation of proxies other than by the Company's management or Board
of Directors, or an acquisition by a person or group of 25% or more of the
Company's stock. Each agreement contains a covenant not to compete, which
continues for one year following any termination.
 
SPLIT DOLLAR ARRANGEMENTS
 
     In 1995, the Company entered into split dollar and cross-purchase split
dollar life insurance agreements with Messrs. Dunkel, Sutter and Cocchiaro and
Ms. Rorech and their estates whereby the Company pays part of the life insurance
premiums on behalf of the officers and their estates. The Company has been
granted a security interest in the cash value and death benefit of each policy
equal to the amount of the cumulative premium payments made by the Company. The
intent of these agreements is to provide liquidity, in the event of an executive
officer's or director's death, to pay estate taxes and to provide surviving
executive officers and directors with the ability to purchase shares from a
deceased executive officer's or director's estate, and to minimize the
possibility of a large block of the Company's common shares being put on the
open market to the potential detriment of the Company's market price. The total
premiums paid during 1995 were approximately $381,000 and are included in the
Company's financial statements as related party receivables at December 31,
1995.
 
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
 
     The Board's Compensation Committee currently consists of Messrs. Dunkel,
Tunstall and Carey. Messrs. Tunstall and Carey are not employees of the Company.
Set forth below is a description of certain transactions and relationship
between the Compensation Committee members, the Chief Executive Officer and the
Company.
 
     In October 1995, the Company entered into a strategic consulting agreement
with Corporate Resource Development, Inc., a company affiliated with William R.
Carey, Jr., a director of the Company. Services under this agreement are to be
completed by December 1996 at a cost of approximately $200,000.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
     The Company leases office space and parking facilities from a limited
partnership in which David L. Dunkel, Howard W. Sutter, and Richard M.
Cocchiaro, officers and directors of the Company, are limited partners. Payments
under the lease are approximately $24,000 per month, expiring in 2001. Total
lease payments to the partnership were approximately $164,000, $165,000, and
$266,000 in 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively. The Company believes the lease
payments are comparable to those that would be made to an unrelated third party.
 
     David L. Dunkel, Maureen A. Rorech, Howard W. Sutter and Richard M.
Cocchiaro, directors and executive officers of the Company, received 2,354,592,
416,754, 1,106,658 and 988,928 shares of Common Stock, respectively, in exchange
for shares of Romac-FMA and its affiliates, pursuant to the combination of a
number of entities in connection with the 1994 Combination. These individuals
received shares of the Company at the same exchange rate as did all of the other
shareholders of the entities involved in the Combination.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
GENERAL
 
   
     The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 15,000,000 shares of
Common Stock having a par value of $.01 per share and 15,000,000 shares of
preferred stock having a par value of $.01 per share. A total of 9,681,782
shares of Common Stock and no shares of preferred stock were issued and
outstanding, as of May 15, 1996.
    
 
COMMON STOCK
 
     Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share held.
Shareholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes in elections of
directors. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding
Common Stock will have the right to elect all the Company's directors and
otherwise control the affairs of the Company.
 
     Holders of Common Stock are entitled to dividends on a pro rata basis upon
declaration of dividends by the Board of Directors. Dividends are payable only
out of unreserved and unrestricted surplus that is legally available for the
payment of dividends. The Board of Directors is not required to declare
dividends, and it currently expects to retain any funds generated from
operations to finance the development of the Company's business. The payment of
dividends in the future will depend upon earnings, capital needs, and other
factors. See "Dividend Policy."
 
     Upon a liquidation of the Company, holders of the Common Stock will be
entitled to a pro rata distribution of the assets of the Company, after payment
of all amounts owed to the Company's creditors, and subject to any preferential
amount payable to holders of preferred stock of the Company, if any.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
     The Company's articles of incorporation permit the Company's Board of
Directors to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and to fix
the relative rights, preferences, and limitations of each series. Among such
rights, preferences, and limitations are dividend rights and rates, provisions
for redemption, rights upon liquidation, conversion privileges, and voting
powers. The Board of Directors of the Company currently has no plans to issue
any shares of preferred stock. See "Risk Factors -- Availability of Preferred
Stock for Issuance."
 
     The purpose for authorizing the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock
is, in part, to eliminate delays associated with a shareholder vote in specific
instances. The issuance of preferred stock, for example in connection with a
shareholder rights plan, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a
third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, a
majority of the outstanding existing stock of the Company.
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
   
     Pursuant to two registration rights agreements, certain shareholders
holding a total of 4,867,004 shares of Common Stock may require the Company to
use its best efforts to effect the registration of all or part of the shares
currently held by such shareholders, subject to certain terms and conditions. In
addition, if the Company proposes to register any shares of its Common Stock
under the Securities Act in the future, these shareholders will be entitled to
include their shares in the registration, subject to certain conditions and
limitations. The Company will be required to bear all the expenses of such
registration except for underwriting discounts and selling commissions. In
addition, fees and expenses of counsel for a particular selling shareholder
shall be borne by such shareholder.
    
 
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
 
     The Company's articles of incorporation provide for a classified Board of
Directors. The directors are divided into three classes, as nearly equal in
number as possible. The directors are elected for three-year terms,
 
                                       37
<PAGE>   38
 
which are staggered so that the terms of one-third of the directors expire each
year. The articles of incorporation permit removal of directors only for cause
by the shareholders of the Company at a meeting by the affirmative vote of at
least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The articles of
incorporation establish an advance notice procedure for the nomination of
candidates for election as directors, as well as for other shareholder proposals
to be considered at shareholders' meetings.
 
     The articles of incorporation also contain a "fair price" provision, which
is intended to ensure that the consideration paid by an acquiror in certain
transactions involving the Company that follow a successful tender offer must be
no less than the highest consideration offered pursuant to the tender offer.
Among other things, such transactions must be approved by (i) the holders of at
least 80% of the outstanding Common Stock, and (ii) the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Common Stock other than the interested shareholder.
 
     The above-described provisions may have certain anti-takeover effects. Such
provisions, in addition to the provisions described below and the possible
issuance of preferred stock discussed above, may make it more difficult for
other persons, without the approval of the Company's Board of Directors, to make
a tender offer or acquisitions of substantial amounts of the Common Stock or to
launch other takeover attempts that a shareholder might consider in such
shareholder's best interests, including attempts that might result in the
payment of a premium over the market price for the Common Stock held by such
shareholder.
 
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF FLORIDA LAW
 
     The Company is subject to several anti-takeover provisions under Florida
law that apply to a public corporation organized under Florida law, unless the
corporation has elected to opt out of those provisions in its articles of
incorporation or bylaws. The Company has not elected to opt out of those
provisions. The Florida Business Corporation Act (the "FBCA") prohibits the
voting of shares in a publicly-held Florida corporation that are acquired in a
"control share acquisition" unless the holders of a majority of the
corporation's voting shares (exclusive of shares held by officers of the
corporation, inside directors, or the acquiring party) approve the granting of
voting rights as to the shares acquired in the control share acquisition. A
"control share acquisition" is defined as an acquisition that immediately
thereafter entitles the acquiring party to vote in the election of directors
within each of the following ranges of voting power: (i) one-fifth or more but
less than one-third of such voting power, (ii) one-third or more but less than a
majority of such voting power, and (iii) more than a majority of such voting
power.
 
     The FBCA also contains an "affiliated transaction" provision that prohibits
a publicly-held Florida corporation from engaging in a broad range of business
combinations or other extraordinary corporate transactions with an "interested
shareholder" unless (i) the transaction is approved by a majority of
disinterested directors before the person becomes an interested shareholder,
(ii) the interested shareholder has owned at least 80% of the corporation's
outstanding voting shares for at least five years, or (iii) the transaction is
approved by the holders of two-thirds of the corporation's voting shares other
than those owned by the interested shareholder. An interested shareholder is
defined as a person who together with affiliates and associates beneficially
owns more than 10% of the corporation's outstanding voting shares.

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
   
     After completion of the Offering, the Company will have 11,291,782 shares
of Common Stock outstanding (11,693,782 shares if the Underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full). Of these shares, 6,424,778
(6,826,778 shares if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in
full), will be freely tradeable without restriction or further registration
under the Securities Act. The remaining 4,867,004 shares outstanding are
"Restricted Securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Securities
Act. The holding period imposed upon these shares by Rule 144 began to run in
August 1994. Accordingly, none of these shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144
prior to August 1996.
    
 
   
     In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, any affiliate of the
Company or any person (or persons whose shares are aggregated in accordance with
the Rule) who has beneficially owned Restricted Securities for at least two
years would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares
that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
(approximately 113,000 shares based upon the number of shares outstanding after
the Offering) or the reported average weekly trading volume in the
over-the-counter market for the four weeks preceding the sale. Sales under Rule
144 are also subject to certain manner of sale restrictions and notice
requirements and to the availability of current public information concerning
the Company. Persons who have not been affiliates of the Company for at least
three months and who have held their shares for more than three years are
entitled to sell Restricted Securities without regard to the volume, manner of
sale, notice and public information requirements of Rule 144.
    
 
   
     As of May 15, 1996, stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,195,970
shares of Common Stock were outstanding under the Company's incentive stock
option plan and its non-employee director plan. In addition, as of such date,
1,939,252 shares were available for future stock option grants under these
plans. Shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of options are eligible for
resale in the public market without restriction unless such shares are held by
affiliates. See "Management -- Incentive Stock Option Plan" and
"Management -- Director Compensation."
    
 
                                  UNDERWRITING
 
     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting
Agreement, the Company and the Selling Shareholders have agreed to sell to each
of the underwriters named below (the "Underwriters"), and each of the
Underwriters has severally agreed to purchase from the Company the respective

</TABLE>
    
 
   
     In the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters have agreed, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase all 2,680,000 shares of
Common Stock offered hereby if any such Common Stock are purchased. In the event
of a default by any Underwriter, the Underwriting Agreement provides that, in
    
 
                                       39
<PAGE>   40
 
certain circumstances, purchase commitments of the non-defaulting Underwriters
may be increased or the Underwriting Agreement may be terminated.
 
   
     The Company and the Selling Shareholders have been advised by the
Underwriters that the several Underwriters propose to offer such Common Stock to
the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus, and to certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess
of $0.75 per share. The Underwriters may allow and such dealers may re-allow a
concession not in excess of $0.10 per share to other dealers. After the shares
of Common Stock are released for sale to the public, the offering price and
other selling terms may be changed by the Underwriters.
    
 
   
     The Company has granted the Underwriters an option, expiring 30 days from
the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to 402,000 additional shares of
Common Stock at the public offering price less underwriting discounts and
commissions set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus. The Underwriters may
exercise such option solely to cover over-allotments, if any, made in connection
with the sale of the Common Stock that the Underwriters have agreed to purchase.
To the extent the Underwriters exercise such option, each of the Underwriters
will have a firm commitment, subject to certain conditions, to purchase a number
of option shares proportionate to such Underwriter's initial commitment.
    
 
     The Company, its officers and directors, and the Selling Shareholders have
agreed that, except with the prior written consent of Robert W. Baird & Co.
Incorporated, during the 90 days following the date of this Prospectus they will
not offer for sale, sell, grant any options, right or warrants with respect to
any shares of Common Stock or any other Company capital stock, securities or
instruments convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or other Company
capital stock, securities or instruments convertible into or exchangeable for
common stock of other company capital stock, or otherwise dispose of, or reduce
any risk of ownership, directly or indirectly, of any shares of Common Stock,
such other capital stock or any other securities, instruments, options or rights
convertible into or exchangeable for, or otherwise exercisable for Common Stock
or other Company capital stock, except for the Common Stock offered hereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may (i) grant options pursuant to the
Company's stock option plans in the ordinary course consistent with past
practice and issue shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such options
or under options currently outstanding, (ii) issue shares of Common Stock or
other securities convertible into Common Stock or any other capital stock of any
company solely to owners of capital stock of any company acquired by the Company
subsequent to the date 45 days from the date of this Prospectus. Any permitted
shortening of such periods and any related sales of Common Stock would not
necessarily be preceded by a public announcement of the Company or the
Representatives that such consent has been given.
 
     The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Company and the Selling
Shareholders will indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933 or contribute to payments the Underwriters may be
required to make in respect thereof.
 
     In connection with this offering, certain Underwriters and selling group
members who in the past have acted as market makers in the Common Stock may
engage in passive market making activities in the Common Stock on the Nasdaq
National Market in accordance with Rule 10b-6A under the Exchange Act.
Underwriters and other participants in the distribution of the Common Stock
generally are prohibited during a specified time period (the "qualifying
period") determined in light of the timing of the distribution, from bidding for
or purchasing the Common Stock or a related security except to the extent
permitted under applicable rules, primarily Rules 10b-6 and 10b-6A. Rule 10b-6A
allows, among other things, an Underwriter or member of the selling group for
the Common Stock to effect "passive market making" transactions on the Nasdaq
National Market in the Common Stock during the qualifying period at a price that
does not exceed the highest independent bid for that security at the time of the
transaction. Such a passive market maker must not display a bid for the subject
security at a price in excess of the highest independent bid, and generally must
lower its bid if all independent bids are lowered. Moreover, the passive market
maker's net purchases of such security on each day of the qualifying period
shall not exceed 30% of its average daily trading volume during a reference
period preceding the distribution.

                INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED
                             FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
   
     The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for
the year ended December 31, 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1996 have
been prepared to reflect the financial position of Romac International, Inc.
(the "Company") as if the acquisitions of Venture Networks Corporation, Inc.
("Venture Networks") in January 1996, PCS Group, Inc. ("PCS") in February 1996,
and Strategic Outsourcing, Inc. ("Strategic Outsourcing") in March 1996, had
occurred effective January 1, 1995. As all three acquisitions occurred prior to
March 31, 1996, the pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1996 is
not required.
    
 
                          VENTURE NETWORKS ACQUISITION
 
     The acquisition was treated as a purchase for financial reporting purposes.
The Company acquired Venture Networks for $1.1 million in cash and is subject to
an earn-out agreement wherein all earnings before income taxes of Venture
Networks in excess of $325,000 for the years ending December 31, 1996, 1997 and
1998, shall be paid to Venture Networks' prior owners in the form of additional
purchase price. The transaction was financed by the proceeds of the Company's
initial public offering which had been invested in short-term securities since
August 1995.
 
                                PCS ACQUISITION
 
     The acquisition was treated as a purchase for financial reporting purposes.

to an earn-out agreement wherein two times all earnings before income taxes of
PCS in excess of $500,000, for the years ending December 31, 1996, 1997 and
1998, shall be paid to PCS's prior owners in the form of additional purchase
price, to a cumulative maximum dollar amount of $1.2 million. The transaction
was financed by the proceeds of the Company's initial public offering which had
been invested in short-term securities since August 1995.
 
                       STRATEGIC OUTSOURCING ACQUISITION
 
     The acquisition was treated as a purchase for financial reporting purposes.
The Company acquired Strategic Outsourcing for approximately $2.5 million in
cash and is subject to an earn-out agreement wherein two times all earnings
before income taxes of Strategic Outsourcing in excess of $500,000 and 50% of
any earnings before income taxes greater than $1.0 million for the years ending
December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, shall be paid to Strategic Outsourcing's
prior owners in the form of additional purchase price. The agreement also calls
for a minimum payout of $500,000, $600,000, and $600,000 for fiscal years 1996,
1997 and 1998 if Strategic Outsourcing's earnings before income taxes exceed
$625,000, $750,000, and $750,000, respectively. The transaction was financed by
the proceeds of the Company's initial public offering which had been invested in
short-term securities since August 1995.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Romac International, Inc.
 
   
     In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of operations and changes in shareholders'
equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Romac International, Inc., and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Organization
 
   
     Romac International, Inc. (the "Company") was formed on August 31, 1994 as
a result of a business combination of a specialty staffing services firm, in
operation under the ROMAC(R) name since 1966, and three of its largest
franchisees, by exchanging 7,498,660 shares of its common stock for
substantially all of the outstanding stock of FMA International, Inc. and its
subsidiaries ("Romac-FMA"), Romac and Associates, Inc. and Subsidiary ("Romac
Portland"), Romac and Associates of Boston, Inc. ("Romac Boston") and by
exchanging 376,718 shares of its common stock for all of the outstanding stock
of Temporary Accounting Professionals, Inc. ("TAP"). The Company is organized
into three divisions: the Professional Temporary Division provides professional
temporary personnel in the fields of finance and accounting; the Contract

  Share Exchanges
 
     The share exchanges described above were accounted for as poolings of
interests, and accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been
restated to include the accounts and operations of the combined companies for
all dates and periods prior to the Combination. Shares of the Company were also
exchanged for minority interests of the merged subsidiaries of Romac-FMA
resulting in excess fair market value of the minority interest shares over the
net book value of the minority interest which is recorded as goodwill. The
results of operations attributable to the minority interests have been included
in the Company's consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition
date (Notes 4 & 13).
 
  Stock Split
 
   
     On April 21, 1995, the Company declared a 1.023-for-1 stock split on its
common stock. All share-related data in these consolidated financial statements
have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to this split as if it had
occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Additionally, the
Company declared a 2-for-1 stock split effected as a 100% stock dividend on its
common stock effective as of May 15, 1996. See footnote 14.
    
 
  Initial Public Offering
 
   
     The Company completed its initial public offering of 2,080,000 shares of
common stock on August 12, 1995. The proceeds of $11,402,146, net of
underwriters' discounts and other offering costs, were used to pay down debt,
reacquire stock, general working capital purposes, and to finance business
acquisitions.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  Principles of Consolidation
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
 
  Use of Estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  Minority Interest
 
     Minority interest represented other shareholders' interest in certain
majority-owned subsidiary companies of Romac-FMA. Prior to the share exchange
agreement, minority interests were reduced by outstanding stock subscriptions
receivable due from the minority shareholders (Note 7). Subsequent to the share
exchange agreement, stock subscriptions receivable from minority shareholders of
Romac-FMA were exchanged for stock subscriptions of the Company's shares and are
now reflected as a reduction of shareholders' equity.
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     The Company classifies all highly-liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less as cash equivalents.
 
  Investments
 
     Investments in mutual funds and common stock have been classified as
available for sale and, as a result, are stated at fair value. Mutual funds
available for current operations are classified in the balance sheet as
short-term investments while investments in common stock are classified as other
assets. Unrealized holding gains and losses are included as a component of
shareholders' equity until realized. At December 31, 1995, there were no
unrealized gains or losses.
 
  Furniture and Equipment
 
     Furniture and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Major additions are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to
expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of leasehold
improvements is amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the
related leases which range from 3 to 7 years (Note 3).
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Net service revenues consist of sales from Company-owned and licensed
offices, and royalties received from franchised operations, less credits and
discounts. The Company recognizes revenue for the Professional Temporary and
Contract Services Divisions based on hours worked by assigned personnel on a
weekly basis. Search Division revenues are recognized in contingency search
engagements upon the successful completion of the assignment. In retained search
engagements the initial retainer is recognized upon execution of the agreement,
with the balance recognized on completion of the search. Reserves are
established to estimate losses due to placed candidates not remaining in
employment for the Company's guarantee period, typically 90 days. Franchise fees
are determined based upon a contractual percentage of the revenue billed by

franchisees. Costs relating to the support of franchised operations are included
in the Company's selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company
includes revenues and related direct costs of licensed offices in its net
service revenues and direct cost of services, respectively. Commissions paid to
licensees is based upon a percentage of the gross profit generated, and is
included in the Company's direct cost of services.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     The Company accounts for income taxes under the principles of FAS 109
Accounting for Income Taxes. FAS 109 requires an asset and liability approach to
the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future
tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases
of other assets and liabilities. The tax effects of deductions attributable to
employees' disqualifying dispositions of shares obtained from incentive stock
options are reflected in additional paid-in capital.
 
     TAP elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be an S corporation.
Historically, the shareholders of TAP included their pro rata share of income or
loss in their individual returns. Accordingly, these financial statements
reflect no provision for income taxes related to pre-tax earnings of TAP through
August 31, 1994. Effective with the share exchange on August 31, 1994, TAP's S
corporation status was converted to C corporation status and TAP's subsequent
earnings are subject to corporate taxes (Note 6).
 
  Stock Based Compensation
 
     The Company will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") during 1996. Upon
adoption of SFAS 123, the Company intends to retain the intrinsic value method
of accounting for stock based compensation and disclose pro forma net income and
earnings per share amounts.
 
  Earnings Per Share
 
     Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), by the
weighted average number of common and common share equivalents outstanding.
Common stock equivalents consist of shares subject to stock options.
 
  Reclassifications
 
     Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
statements to conform with 1995 presentation.
 
  Interim Financial Information
 
     The interim financial data is unaudited; however, in the opinion of the
Company, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim
periods.
 
2. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by
the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting data
to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented
herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could
realize in a current market exchange. The fair value estimates presented herein
are based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31,
1995. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly
affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been
comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that
date and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the

amounts presented herein. The fair values of the Company's financial instruments
are estimated based on current market rates and instruments with the same risk
and maturities. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, short-term investments, accounts payable, notes payable and payables
to related parties approximate the carrying values of these financial
instruments.

  Goodwill
 
     Goodwill of $602,592 relating to the exchange of the minority interests of
the merged subsidiaries of Romac-FMA (Notes 1 & 13) was recorded at August 31,
1994 and is being amortized straight-line over a period of 15 years.
Approximately $550,000 remains unamortized at December 31, 1995. The remaining
goodwill of $24,444 relates to previous business acquisitions and is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years. Management
periodically reviews the potential impairment of goodwill in order to determine
the proper carrying value of goodwill as of each balance sheet date presented.
Goodwill amortization expense of $87,800, $102,300 and $107,859 was recorded for
the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively. Goodwill
related to acquisitions subsequent to December 31, 1995 is discussed in Note 14.

     In December 1994, the Company reached an agreement to consolidate its line
of credit arrangements to a $1.5 million credit facility bearing an interest
rate of 2.9% plus the 30 day commercial paper rate, (8.93% and 8.71% as of
December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively), expiring and subject to renewal on
November 30, 1995. In November, this credit facility agreement was extended
through March 31, 1996 and was increased to $2.0 million. The consolidated line
of credit is secured by the Company's accounts receivable and deposit accounts.
This line of credit agreement contains restrictive covenants which require the
maintenance of certain financial ratios. The Company is in compliance with all
covenants as of December 31, 1995. No amounts were outstanding on any of these
lines of credit at December 31, 1994 and 1995.
 
6. INCOME TAXES
 
     Prior to the August 31, 1994 share exchanges (Note 1) the various entities
that combined with the Company filed separate income tax returns. The provision
for income taxes has been calculated based upon those individual tax reporting
entities and does not represent the provision for income taxes as if the
entities filed a consolidated income tax return through the date of the share
exchanges. Subsequent to the share exchanges, the provision is calculated on a
consolidated basis.
 
     The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

     The provision for income taxes for 1993 and through the date of the share
exchanges in 1994, does not include a provision for the income of TAP during the
period that TAP was an S Corporation. If TAP were taxable as a C corporation at
the highest federal marginal tax rate, the provision for income taxes would
increase, on a pro forma basis, by $13,813 and $27,615 for the years 1993 and
1994, respectively.
 
     The provision for income taxes shown above varied from the statutory
federal income tax rates for those periods as follows:

  Related Party Leases
 
     The Company has operating leases with related parties as discussed in Note
11.
 
  Subsidiary Stock Subscription Notes Receivable
 
     From 1989 to August 31, 1994, certain subsidiaries of Romac-FMA issued
stock to key employees of its respective majority owned subsidiaries of
Romac-FMA in exchange for stock subscription notes receivable. At December 31,
1994 and 1995, $36,182 and $17,589, respectively, of subscription notes
receivable were outstanding and collateralized by the respective shares of the
subsidiaries' stock. The outstanding balances of these notes receivable were
reflected as a reduction of the minority interest through August 31, 1994, at
which time the minority interests of certain subsidiaries of Romac-FMA were
exchanged for shares in the Company and the remaining outstanding subscription
receivables are now shown as a reduction of shareholders' equity.
 
  Accrued Liabilities
 
     In October 1995, the Company entered into a strategic consulting agreement
with a company affiliated with one of its outside board members. Services under
this agreement are to be completed by December 1996 at a cost of approximately
$200,000.
 
8. FRANCHISE REORGANIZATION
 
     During fiscal 1994, the Company reached an agreement with two of its
franchisees (the Philadelphia and Memphis locations) wherein the Company agreed
to terminate the remaining term of their franchise
 
                                      F-13

                           ROMAC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
agreements in exchange for immediate cash payments and notes receivable
aggregating $560,000 and, with respect to the Philadelphia agreement, a
percentage of gross revenue for a specified time period, in lieu of the future
cash flows anticipated under the franchise agreement. The revenues from these
transactions have been reflected as other income for the period and are included
in cash flows from operations. Approximately $100,000 and $35,174 of note
payments remain receivable from these two franchisees at December 31, 1994 and
1995, respectively.
 
     In January 1995, the Company reached agreements with the Arlington and
Dallas franchisees to terminate their franchise agreements. The terms of the
Arlington agreement included a $260,000 note receivable at 9% interest, payable
in 18 equal monthly installments. The agreement also includes a covenant not to
compete in the Arlington market for a four month period beginning January 1,
1995. The Dallas arrangement included a $175,000 cash settlement and the Company
retained the rights to the phone listing and other business records at the
Dallas location. The revenues from these transactions have been reflected as
other income in the first quarter of 1995. Approximately $90,475 of payments
remain receivable form Arlington at December 31, 1995.
 
     The remaining notes receivable from franchisees consists primarily of
unsecured notes for franchise fees due from various franchisees. Repayment terms
range from one to five years at rates of 7% to 9%.
 
     Franchise royalties amounted to $1,600,000, $886,000 and $487,000, for the
years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
  401(k) Savings Plan
 
     Effective May 1, 1993, Romac-FMA implemented a qualified defined
contribution 401(k) plan covering substantially all full-time employees, except
officers and certain highly compensated employees. The plan offers a savings
feature and Company matching contributions. Employer matching contributions are
discretionary and are funded annually as approved by the Board of Directors.
Assets of this plan are held in trust for the sole benefit of employees.
Employer contributions to the 401(k) totalled $23,500 $28,236 and $22,406 in
1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively. Romac Boston and Romac Portland also have
qualified defined contribution 401(k) plans covering substantially all full-time
employees. No employer matching contributions were made for the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995.
 
  Employee Stock Ownership Plan
 
   
     Romac Boston maintains an employee stock ownership plan covering all
eligible employees meeting the length of service requirements. Effective with
the share exchange described in Note 1, the outstanding shares of the employee
stock ownership plan for Romac Boston were exchanged for 59,786 shares of the
Company. Contributions are determined solely at the discretion of its Board of
Advisors. No contributions were made for the three years ended December 31,
1995. These shares were sold during the Company's initial public offering and
the cash proceeds were entrusted to the plan.
    
 
  Deferred Compensation Plan
 
     The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan pursuant to
which eligible officers and highly compensated key employees may elect to defer
part of their compensation to later years. The Company accrues interest and
discretionary Company matching contributions. These amounts, which are
classified as other long-term liabilities, are payable upon retirement or
termination of employment, and at December 31, 1994 and 1995, aggregated
$332,440 and $433,075, respectively. The Company has insured the lives of the
participants in the deferred compensation program, to assist in the funding of
the deferred compensation liability. The cash surrender value of these
Company-owned life insurance policies of $139,386 and $262,392
 
                                      F-14

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
at December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively, is included in other assets.
Compensation expense of $108,300, $129,200 and $45,100 was recognized for the
plan for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively.
 
  Split Dollar Life Insurance
 
     In 1995, the company entered into split dollar and cross-purchase split
dollar life insurance agreements with several officers and their estates whereby
the Company pays a portion of the life insurance premiums on behalf of the
officers and their estates. The Company has been granted a security interest in
the cash value and death benefit of each policy equal to the amount of the
cumulative premium payments made by the Company. The intent of these agreements
is to, in the event of an officer's death, provide liquidity to pay estate taxes
and to provide surviving officers with the ability to purchase shares from a
deceased officer's estate, minimizing the possibility of a large block of the
Company's common shares being put on the open market to the potential detriment
of the Company's market price and to allow the Company to maintain a
concentration of voting power among its officers. The total premiums paid of
$381,300 is included in related party receivables for the year ended December
31, 1995 (see Note 7).
 
10. STOCK OPTION PLANS
 
   
     During 1994, the Company established an incentive stock option plan which
authorized the issuance of options to purchase common stock to employees. The
maximum number of shares of common stock that could be issued under the plan
could not exceed 818,400. In 1995 the employee stock option incentive plan was
amended to increase the number of shares of common stock that may be issued
under the plan to 1,534,500. During 1995, the Company established a non-employee
director stock option plan which authorized the issue of options to purchase
common stock to non-employee directors. The maximum number of shares of common
stock that can be issued under the plan is 200,000.
    
 
     A summary of the Company's stock option activity is as follows:

which approximated the fair value of the limited partnership investment. The
principal asset of the partnership is an office building in which the Company
leases space for use as its headquarters. The Company leases this space under an
operating lease with monthly payments of $24,324, expiring in April 2001. The
Company also leases office space for Romac Portland from a related party at an
annual rental of $74,700 subject to adjustment as defined through December 31,
2000. The Company leases other space and various equipment under operating
leases expiring at various dates with some leases cancellable upon 30 to 90 days
notice. The leases require payment of taxes, insurance and maintenance costs in
addition to rental payments.
 
     Future minimum lease payments under operating leases are summarized as
follows: 1996, $988,961; 1997, $869,316; 1998, $818,384; 1999, $692,732; and
$511,572 thereafter. Minimum obligations have not been reduced by minimum
sublease rentals of $221,500 due under a noncancellable sublease.
 
     Rental expense under all operating leases was $712,904, $621,696 and
$759,452 for 1993, 1994 and 1995.

  Noncancellable Processing Commitment
 
     The Company has an agreement with a third party processor ("processor") who
provides certain services for some of the Company's franchised and licensed
temporary placement operations; the cost of such services is a percentage of
gross billings as defined within the agreement. Pursuant to certain contract
termination provisions, the Company would be required to pay $500,000 in the
event of termination of such agreement. The agreement continues in effect until
the aggregate of all amounts actually collected and paid to the processor from
September 1, 1985 exceeds $5,000,000. The cumulative amounts processed were
$2,963,873, $3,840,205 and $4,093,619 as of December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995,
respectively.
 
  Stock Repurchase Agreements
 
     Stock repurchase agreements between certain subsidiaries of the Company
(former Romac-FMA subsidiaries) and certain shareholders provide for the
purchase of their shares of the subsidiaries' stock in the event of disability
or death of the shareholder, at market value as determined by an independent
third party. The commitment under such agreements is partially funded by term
life insurance and disability policies on these shareholders owned by the
Company. In connection with these redemption agreements, the Company had
employment agreements with such key employees until consummation of the share
exchange, wherein all such employment agreements were terminated, with the
exception of those discussed below and the repurchase agreements were amended to
reflect the receipt of shares of the Company in exchange for shares owned in the
former Romac-FMA subsidiaries. On April 26, 1995, all such agreements were
amended to convert the Company's repurchase obligation to an option to purchase,
at the discretion of the Company.
 
   
     In October 1994, the Company became liable to repurchase approximately
338,220 shares under one of the stock repurchase agreements due to the death of
the shareholder. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, the liability was
to be paid in five equal annual installments beginning March 1, 1995, with
interest payable at 9%. The liability of $924,072 is included in the amount of
$184,814 and $739,258 in accrued liabilities (current portion) and other
long-term liabilities, respectively, as of December 31, 1994. The note was paid
in full as of December 31,1995. The related life insurance proceeds of
approximately $500,000 is included in other current assets and other income for
the year ended December 31, 1994. The total remaining contingent obligation
under these stock repurchase agreements at December 31, 1994 is approximately
$2,500,000. The amendment of the stock purchase agreements on April 26, 1995 by
the Company and its

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
certain shareholders eliminated all contingent stock repurchase obligations.
Accordingly, the related life insurance policies have been terminated.
 
  Indemnifications
 
     Certain contingencies existing at the date of the share exchange
transaction have been specifically indemnified through escrow accounts
established under the share exchange agreements.
 
  Litigation
 
     The Company is involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business
which will not, in the opinion of management, have a material effect on the
results of operations or financial condition of the Company.
 
  Employment Agreements
 
     Effective January 1, 1995, the Company entered into employment agreements
with certain executive officers which provide for minimum compensation and
salary and certain benefit continuation for a two year period under certain
circumstances. The agreements also provide for a payment of amounts two times
their annual salary if a change in control (as defined) of the Company occurs
and include a covenant against competition with the Company which extends for
one year after termination for any reason. The Company's liability at December
31, 1995 would be approximately $1.2 million in the event of a change in control
or if all of the employees under contract were to be terminated by the Company
without good cause (as defined) under these contracts.

     As described in Note 1, certain minority shares exchanged under the share
exchange agreement resulted in excess fair market value of the minority interest
shares over the net book value of the minority interest being recorded as
goodwill. In connection with the share exchange agreements and related
restructuring, approxi-

mately $2,250,000 of combination expenses were incurred. Included in this amount
is approximately $1.3 million of merger and acquisition costs, primarily related
to brokerage, legal and accounting fees, which were incurred and expensed in
1994. Additionally, in 1994 the Company announced the decision to consolidate
and restructure its operations. As a result, management closed its Portland
office (former corporate headquarters) effective February 1995, and terminated
eight employees at the Portland and Boston locations at an approximate cost of
$900,000 which was expensed in 1994. As of December 31, 1994 and 1995,
approximately $390,000 and $70,000 of severance remains accrued in accounts
payable and other accrued expenses and $190,000 and $160,000 of lease costs
remain accrued in other long-term liabilities, respectively.
 
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
     On January 10, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the
assets except for cash and accounts receivable of Venture Network Corporation,
Inc. ("Venture"), a business engaged in the business of providing permanent and

including a non-compete agreement, is approximately $1.1 million and is subject
to adjustment upon attainment of certain operating results. In February 1996,
the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with PCS Group, Inc., a
provider of contract service information systems personnel. The purchase price,
including a non-compete agreement, is approximately $2.3 million, subject to
adjustment upon attainment of certain operating results.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Organization
 
     Venture Networks Corporation, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in November
1987 for the purpose of providing contract personnel services and permanent
placement of specialized personnel in the fields of information systems,
software engineering, banking and finance. In 1993, the Company discontinued
providing services in the areas of banking and finance. The Company serves
primarily the Boston market area.
 
  Furniture and Equipment
 
     Furniture and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Major additions are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to
expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Net service revenues consist of sales less credits and discounts. The
Company recognizes revenue for Contract Services based on hours worked by
assigned personnel on a weekly basis. Search Division revenues are recognized in
contingency search engagements upon the successful completion of the search.
Reserves are established to estimate losses due to placed candidates not
remaining employment for the Company's guarantee period, typically 90 days.
 
  Major Customers
 
     The Company provided contract and permanent placement services of $473,000
in 1995 to two customers representing approximately 22% of total service
revenues for 1995.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     The Company elected to be taxed under the S Corporation provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code which provide for the taxable income of the Company to be
included in the income tax return of the individual shareholders. Accordingly,
there is no provision for income taxes included in the operating results for the
Company.
 
  Use of Estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
2. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by
the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies. The fair values of the Company's financial instruments are
estimated based on current market rates and instruments with the same risk and
maturities. The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
line of credit approximate the carrying values of these financial instruments.

4. LINE OF CREDIT
 
     The Company maintains a $200,000 bank line of credit agreement under which
$30,000 was outstanding at December 31, 1995. The use of this line generally is
restricted to the extent that the company is required periodically to liquidate
its indebtedness to the bank for 30 days each year. Additionally, the Company is
subject to various covenants under the line of credit agreement. At December 31,
1995, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. Interest on borrowings
under the agreement is 1.25% above the bank's base rate; 9.50% at December 31,
1995. The line is secured by the Company's assets. The line extends through
April 30, 1996 and will not be renewed (see Note 8).
 
5. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
     Venture Networks distributed $85,000 to a stockholder in 1995, a portion of
which was to fund the shareholder's individual income tax liability related to
the S corporation taxable earnings.

     The Company incurred operating lease expense of $10,395 for the year ended
December 31, 1995, under a noncancelable operating lease for office facilities.
The lease expires August 31, 1997 and contains options for renewal at the end of
the lease term.
 
7. PROFIT SHARING PLAN
 
     The Company adopted a defined contribution Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan")
effective January 1, 1988. All employees of the company who are credited with at
least 1,000 hours of service during the Company's fiscal year are eligible to
participate in the Plan. Following the first year of employment, company
contributions deposited into profit sharing accounts for each employee vest 20%
for each year of service, and

become fully vested after six years of service or upon retirement, death,
disability or termination of the Plan. Benefits are generally payable following
retirement, disability, death, hardship or termination of employment. During
1995, the company authorized a $50,000 contribution to the Plan to be allocated
to the participants on the basis of a percentage of their annual compensation.
This amount is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The
payment will be made to the Plan trustee prior to the filing of the 1995 tax
return and in accordance with the terms of the Plan. As a result of the asset
sale subsequent to year end (see Note 8), management intends to terminate the
Plan subsequent to payment of the contribution.
 
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
     On January 10, 1996, the Company completed the sale of all of its assets
except for cash and trade receivables to Romac International, Inc. The sale
price, including a non-compete agreement, is in excess of book value of the
assets acquired and is subject to adjustment upon attainment of certain
operating results.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Organization
 
     PCS Group, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in 1992 for the purpose of
providing contract and contract to hire services in the area of information
systems. The Company serves primarily the Louisville, Kentucky market area.
 
  Furniture and equipment
 
     Furniture and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Major additions are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to
expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using accelerated methods over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
 
  Revenue recognition
 
     Net service revenues consist of sales less credits and discounts. The
Company recognizes revenue for contract services based on hours worked by
assigned personnel on a weekly basis. Contract to hire services are recognized
based upon the successful completion of the assignment.
 
  Major customers
 
     The Company provided contract and contract to hire services of $1,472,470
in 1995 to three customers, representing approximately 41% of total service
revenues for 1995.
 
  Income taxes
 
     The Company elected to be taxed under the S Corporation provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code which provide for the taxable income of the Company to be
included in the income tax return of the individual shareholders. Accordingly,
there is no provision for income taxes included in the operating results for the
Company.
 
  Use of estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
2. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by
the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies. The fair values of the Company's financial instruments are
estimated based on current market rates and instruments with the same risk and
maturities. The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
line of credit approximate the carrying values of these financial instruments.

                                                                                   ==========
</TABLE>
 
4. LINE OF CREDIT
 
     The Company maintains a $250,000 bank line of credit agreement under which
$187,047 was outstanding at December 31, 1995. Interest on borrowings under the
agreement is 1.5% above the bank's base rate; 10% at December 31, 1995. The line
is secured by the Company's assets. The line was repaid in full on February 27,
1996 (see Note 8).
 
5. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
     The Company distributed $205,685 to two stockholders in 1995, a portion of
which was to fund the stockholders' individual income tax liability related to
the S corporation taxable earnings (see Note 8).
 
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  Operating leases
 
     Future minimum lease payments under operating leases for office space and
equipment are summarized as follows:
 
<TABLE>
          <S>                                                               <C>
          1996............................................................  $74,830
          1997............................................................   31,731
          1998............................................................    6,551
</TABLE>
 
     Total rental expense for 1995 for all leases was $80,939, which is net of
amounts received under sub-leases with affiliates of $12,960.
 
  Litigation
 
     The Company and its shareholders have been sued by the former employer of a
shareholder/employee for alleged violations of various business contractual
relationships. The suit is in the discovery stage and if an unfavorable outcome
results, it is estimated that the range of loss could be $50,000 to $500,000
under the net profits method of damage estimation. In management's opinion, the
Company has sufficient legal defenses to prevent a judgment that would
materially affect its financial position.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
     On February 16, 1996, the Company completed the sale of the intangible
assets to Romac International, Inc. The sale price, including a non-compete
agreement, is in excess of book value of the assets acquired and is subject to
adjustment upon attainment of certain operating results. Subsequent to January
1, 1996, the Company made significant stockholder distributions approximately
$1,800,000. These distributions were a result of the sale described above and to
fund the stockholders' individual income tax liability.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT
 
To the Board of Directors of
Strategic Outsourcing, Inc.
 
     In my opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements
of income and retained earnings and of cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Strategic Outsourcing, Inc. at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are
the responsibility of Strategic Outsourcing Inc.'s management; my responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits. I
conducted my audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that I plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Organization
 
     Strategic Outsourcing, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in 1989 as a human
resources consulting firm that specializes in assisting companies in
implementing a wide variety of outsourcing, outplacement, and career planning
programs. The Company serves primarily the Northeast United States market area.
 
  Furniture and Equipment
 
     Furniture and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Major additions are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to
expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the modified accelerated
cost recovery method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Net service revenues consist of sales less credits and discounts. The
Company recognizes revenue for Contract Services based on hours worked by
assigned personnel on a weekly basis. Outplacement services are billed for the
total fee for the program selected and recognized over the period services are
rendered. Deferred income reflects those outplacement services billed but not
rendered as of year end.
 
  Major Customers
 
     The Company provided human resources services of $1,253,246 and $958,543 in
1994 and 1995, respectively, to a customer representing approximately 22% and
13% of total service revenues for 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     The Company, with the consent of its shareholders, has elected to have its
income taxed under Section 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under those
provisions, the Company is not taxed directly, for federal purposes for the
years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995. Instead, the taxable income of the
Company is included in the income tax return of the individual shareholders.
Accordingly, there is no federal provision for income taxes included in the
operating results of the Company.
 
  Earnings Per Share
 
     Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
 
  Use of Estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
2. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by
the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies. The fair values of the Company's financial instruments are
estimated based on current market rates and instruments with the same risk and
maturities.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and current
portion of note payable approximate the carrying values of these financial
instruments.

4. LINE OF CREDIT
 
     The Company maintains a $300,000 bank line of credit arrangement with the
Bank of Boston under which $202,000 was outstanding at December 31, 1994.
Amounts borrowed on the line bear interest at the prime rate plus 1.25% and is
secured by all business assets of the Company and personally guaranteed by the
stockholders. The use of this line generally is restricted to the extent that
the Company is required periodically to liquidate its indebtedness to the bank
for 30 days each year. Effective August 1995, the Company terminated its
agreement with the Bank of Boston and entered into a new one year facility in
the amount of $400,000 with Merrill Lynch. Amounts borrowed on the line bear
interest at the prime rate plus 1.0% and is secured by all of the business
assets of the Company and personally guaranteed by the stockholders.

covenants. The line was terminated on March 4, 1996 (see Note 8).
