                            ROMAC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1997
                                   (Unaudited)

Note A --- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  Principles of Consolidation.  The Consolidated Financial Statements
include the accounts of Romac International, Inc. (the "Company") and its
subsidiaries.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

  Interim Financial Information.  The Consolidated Financial Statements have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and 
Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in management's opinion, include all
adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for such interim
periods.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules or
regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures made are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 	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
Flexible Billings (Professional Temporary and Contract Services) based on 
hours worked by assigned personnel on a weekly basis.  Search Fees are 
recognized in contingency search engagements upon the successful completion 
of the assignment.  In a retained search engagement 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 costs 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.  As of June 30, 1997, there are no frachisees or licensees with
the Company.

  Cash and Cash Equivalents.  The Company classifies all highly-liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

  Income Taxes.  The Company accounts for income taxes under the principles of
FAS 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109").  SFAS 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 were reflected
in additional paid-in capital.

  Earnings Per Share.  In March 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128") was issued which requires
disclosure of basic earnings per share and modifies existing guidance for 
computing fully dilulted earnings per share.  Under the new standard, basic 
earnings per share is computed as earnings divided by weighted average shares
excluding the dilutive effects of stock options and other potentially 
dilutive securities.  The effective date of SFAS 128 is December 15, 1997
and early adoption is not permitted.  The pro forma impact of adoption of 
SFAS 128 had no impact on the period ended June 30, 1997, however the Company 
expects that this pronouncement could have a material impact on Earnings Per
Share for the year ended December 31, 1997.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, 
particularly with respect to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations.  Additional written or oral forward-looking statements may be made
by the Company from time to time, in filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission or otherwise.  Such forward-looking statements are within the
meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act') and Section 21 E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Exchange Act").  Such statements may include, but not be limited to,
projections of revenue, income, losses, cash flows, capital expenditures,
plans for future operations, financing needs or plans, plans relating to
products or services of the Company, estimates concerning the effects of
litigation or other disputes, as well as assumptions to any of the foregoing.

  Forward-Looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties,
some of which cannot be predicted.  Future events and actual results could
differ materially from those set forth in or underlying the forward-looking
statements.

             
Results of Operations for each of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 
1997 and 1996.

  Revenues.  Net service revenues increased 84.2% and 94.3% respectively,
to $39.6 million and $74.6 Million for the three and six month periods ending
June 30, 1997 as compared to $21.5 million and $38.4 million for the same 
periods in 1996.  These increases were compriseed of a $16.3 million and 
$32.0 million increase in Flexible Billings (Professional Temporary and 
Contract Services revenues combined) and a $1.8 million and $4.2 million 
increase in Search Fees for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 
1997, as described below.

 	Professional Temporary revenues increased 42.4% and 55.4% respectively, 
to $12.1 million and $24.4 million for the three and six month periods ending
June 30, 1997 as compared to $8.5 million and $15.7 million for the same 
periods in 1996.  This increase resulted from an increase in the number of 
hours billed by Company-owned operations compared to the same periods in 1996.
The average hourly bill rate for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 
increased 14.8% over the prior year due to a continued demand for the 
Company's knowledge workers and the Company's ability to pass on increased 
wage costs of its knowledge workers to its customers.

  Contract Services revenues increased 152.4% and 156.8% respectively, to 
$21.2 million and $38.0 million for the three and six month periods ending 
June 30, 1997 as compared to $8.4 million and $14.8 for the same periods in
1996.  This increase resulted from an increase in the number of hours billed
during the three months and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 as compared
to the same periods in 1996.  The average hourly bill rate for Company-owned
operations increased 13.9% for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 due 
to the continued penetration into existing markets where hourly bill rates 
are higher such as Boston and San Francisco, as well as the increased 
expansion of the Company's Emerging Technologies initiative which 
concentrates on placing knowledge workers in highly skilled technologies 
with the greatest demand.

  Search fees increased 40.1% and 53.1% respectively, to $6.4 million and 
$12.1 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 
compared to $4.5 million and $7.9 million for the same periods in 1996.  
The increase resulted primarily from an increase in the number of search sales 
consultants, which increased the number of placements made during the three
and six month periods ending June 30, 1997 as compared to the same periods 
in 1996.  The average fee for each placement made during the periods remained
relatively constant.

                                         6
=============================================================================
<PAGE>

  Franchise and licensee revenues, which are included in the aforementioned
revenues, decreased 66.8% and 58.3% to approximately $332,000 and 
$793,000 for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 1997 from 
approximately $1.0 million and $1.9 million for the same periods in 1996. 
The decrease was primarily due to the effects of discontinued franchisee and
licensee operations in Minneapolis, St. Louis, and Portland during 1996, the
acquisition of the San Francisco franchisee in June 1996 and the 
discontinuance of franchisee and licensee operations in Raleigh on March 31,
1997.

  Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased 71.3% and 80.7% respectively, to $16.1
million and $30.0 million for the three and six month periods ending June 30,
1997 as compared to $9.4 and $16.6 million for the same periods in 1996.   
Gross profit as a percentage of net service revenues decreased to 40.1% and 
40.2% respectively, for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 1997
as compared to 43.7% and 43.2% for the same periods in 1996.  This decrease 
was result of the continuing change in the Company's business mix whereby 
revenues from Flexible Billings, traditionally lower gross margins than 
Search Fees, increased to 84.1% and 83.6% of the Company's total revenues 
for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 1997 as compared to 78.6% 
and 79.4% for the same periods in 1996.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses increased 67.6% and 79.2% respectively, to $11.9 and
$22.4 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 as 
compared to $7.1 million and $12.5 million for the same periods in 1996.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net service 
revenues decreased to 30.1% and 30.0% respectively, for the three and six 
month periods ended June 30 1997 compared to 33.0% and 32.6% in 1996.  
This decrease in selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage
of net service revenues resulted from greater operating efficiencies and 
economies of scale gained from a larger revenue base.

  Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation and amortization 
expense increased 16.5% and 67.7% respectively, to approximately $627,000 and
$1.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared
to approximately $538,000 and $775,000 for the same periods in 1996.
Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of net service revenues
decreased to 1.6% and 1.7% for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1997 as compared to 2.5% and 2.0% for the same periods in 1996.  This 
decrease as a percentage of net service revenues is due to a change in 
accounting estimate of the amortization period for goodwill related to 
certain acquisitions from 15 to 30 years of approximately $160,000 which 
reduced expense during the quarter.  This decrease was offset by increased 
depreciation of approximately $114,000 on computer equipment for new 
locations and additional employees. 

  Other (income) expense.  Other (income) expense increased 44.1% and 138.1%
respectively, to approximately $454,000 and $1.1 million for the three and 
six month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to approximately $315,000 and
$462,000 respectively, for the same periods in 1996.  This increase was 
primarily due to interest earned on the investment of the proceeds from the 
May 1996 secondary offering.

  Income Before Taxes.  Income before taxes increased 90.5% and 94.7% 
respectively, to $4.0 million and $7.4 million for the three and six month 
periods ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $2.1 million and $3.8 million for
the same periods in 1996, primarily as a result of the above factors.

  Income Taxes.  The effective tax rate was 39.9% and 39.1% for the three 
and six month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to 40.0% for all periods in
1996.

  Net Income.  Net income increased to $2.4 million and $4.5 million for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to $1.3 million and 
$2.3 million for the same periods in 1996, primarily as a result of the above
factors.

 	Liquidity and Capital Resources

 	As of June 30, 1997 the Company's sources of liquidity included 
approximately $30.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, approximately 
$3.9 million in short-term investments, and approximately $15.3 million in 
additional net working capital.  In addition, as of June 30, 1997, $5.0 
million was available for borrowing under the Company's line of credit.  
The Company is currently negotiating with various lending institutions to 
expand its line of credit facilities.

                                         8
==============================================================================
<PAGE>


 	During the first six months of 1997, cash flow provided by operations was 
approximately $2.7 million, resulting primarily from net income, non-cash 
expenses (depreciation and amortization) and increases in operationg payroll
liabilities, offset by a significant increase in accounts receivable.  The 
increase in accounts receivable reflects the increased volume of business 
during the first six months of 1997 from Company-owned locations and the 
initial funding of the accounts receivable base in acquired operations.

 	During the first six months of 1997, cash flow used in investing 
activities was approximately $15.7 million, resulting primarily from the 
Company's use of approximately $11.5 million in cash for acquisitions.

The Company believes its cash balance, short-term investments and available 
line of credit borrowings will be sufficient to meet it's anticipated cash
requirements for at least the next twelve months unless it uses a substantial
portion of it's cash balances to fund additional acquisitions.  In the event
that the Company does complete significant acquisitions, the Company beleives
it has the ability to raise additional funds through its available line of 
credit and through other financing vehicles.
