              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)




Note 1.  Basis of Presentation
         The accompanying  condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Certain  information  and  disclosures
normally included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted  accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments),  which in the
opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the results of operations
of the Company for the periods  presented.  It is suggested that these condensed
consolidated  financial  statements  be read in  conjunction  with the condensed
consolidated  financial  statements  and  the  notes  thereto  included  in  the
Company's Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K.

         The results of operations  for the thirteen week period ended March 30,
1997 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.


Note 2.  Asset Acquisitions
         All of the  Company's  acquisitions  have been  accounted for using the
purchase method.  Certain acquisitions have contingent earnout components of the
purchase price.  Earnout  amounts are accrued when payment becomes  probable and
increase the amount of goodwill related to the acquisition.

         During the quarter ended March 30, 1997, the Company  acquired  certain
assets or stock and substantially  all of the operations of six businesses.  The
aggregate   purchase  price  was   approximately   $3,521,000  and  one  of  the
acquisitions has contingent  future earnouts up to a maximum of $1,300,000.  The
excess of the initial  purchase  price  (excluding  earnouts) over the estimated
fair  market  value  of the  acquired  tangible  net  assets  was  approximately
$3,309,000, of which $3,145,000 has been preliminarily allocated to goodwill and
$164,000 has been allocated to other intangible assets.

         Earnouts  and  Acquisition  Costs - During the quarter  ended March 30,
1997 the Company paid earnouts totaling  $293,975.  As of March 30, 1997 accrued
acquisition earnouts totaled $4,572,048. During the quarter ended March 30, 1997
the Company incurred direct acquisition costs totaling $136,238.

         Pro Forma Acquisition Information--Unaudited
         The unaudited pro forma acquisition  information for the thirteen weeks
ended March 30, 1997 and March 31, 1996  presents the results of  operations  of
material  acquisitions as if the  acquisitions  had occurred at the beginning of
each  thirteen  week period.  The results of  operations  give effect to certain
adjustments, including amortization of intangible assets and interest expense on
debt  borrowings  utilized to fund certain  acquisitions.  The pro forma results
have been  prepared  for  comparative  purposes  only and do not  purport  to be
indicative  of what would have  occurred had the  acquisitions  been made at the
beginning  of the  applicable  period or of the  results  which may occur in the
future.

Note 3.   Legal Matters
         From time to time the Company is involved  in legal  matters  generally
incident to its business.  It is the opinion of  management,  after  discussions
with legal  counsel,  that the ultimate  dispositions  of these matters will not
have a  material  impact on the  financial  condition,  liquidity  or results of
operations of the Company.



Note 4.  Equity Transactions
         In connection with the Company's secondary public offering completed in
December 1996, the underwriters exercised their overallotment option to purchase
330,000  common  shares in January  1997.  The Company  received net proceeds of
approximately $3.0 million.

         During  the  quarter  ended March 30, 1997,  options to purchase  1,800
shares of common stock were  exercised  by an employee and the Company  received
$11,700.

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

         The following  discussion  and analysis  should be read in  conjunction
with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this report.  The Company's fiscal year consists of a 52-or 53-week
period ending on the Sunday closest to December 31.


Results of Operations
         The following table sets forth unaudited income  statement  information
for the comparative thirteen week periods.



                                                         13 Weeks Ended
                                                 March 30,             March 31,
                                                    1997                 1996
                                                 ----------            --------
             Service revenues                     100.0%                100.0%
             Direct cost of services               78.7%                 79.1%
                                                   -----                ------
               Gross profit                        21.3%                 20.9%

             Selling, general and
                administrative expenses            16.2%                 16.4%
                                                   -----               --------

             Operating income                       5.1%                  4.5%


         Service Revenues.  Service revenues increased by $15.8 million, or 63%,
to $40.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 1997,  compared to $25.0
million  for the  thirteen  weeks  ended March 31,  1996.  Of the $15.8  million
increase, approximately $8.2 million was attributable to offices acquired during
1996 and 1997, $5.4 million was  attributable to increased  revenues in existing
offices and $2.2  million  resulted  from opening  offices in new  markets.  The
increase in service  revenues was also  generally  consistent  with increases in
hours billed, customers served and temporary staffing employees utilized.

         Gross Profit.  Gross profit as a percentage of service revenues for the
thirteen  weeks  ended  March 30,  1997 and March 31,  1996 was 21.3% and 20.9%,
respectively.  The  increase  in gross  profit was  primarily  due to a shift in
business  mix  towards  information  technology  and  other  specialty  lines of
business.

         Selling,  General and  Administrative  Expenses.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses as a  percentage  of service  revenues for the thirteen
weeks   ended  March  30,  1997  and  March  31,  1996  were  16.2%  and  16.4%,
respectively.  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of service revenues was attributable to expenses growing less rapidly
than  revenues  partially  offset  by a higher  cost  structure  in  information
technology and specialty areas.

         Income Taxes. The effective  combined federal and state income tax rate
for the  thirteen  weeks  ended  March 30, 1997 and March 31, 1996 was 39.7% and
38.0%,  respectively.  The increased combined tax rate was due to an increase in
non-deductible   amortization   of   intangible   assets   relating  to  certain
acquisitions  and  increasing  profits  generated in states which assess  higher
state tax rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
         For the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 1997 and March 31, 1996 net cash
provided by operations was $2.1 million and $0.6 million,  respectively. The net
cash  provided by  operations  increased  as a result of the decline in accounts
receivable and higher net income.

         The  Company's  investing  activities  used $0.3  million  to  purchase
property and equipment,  $3.4 million to purchase assets of acquired  businesses
and $0.3  million to pay  earnouts on previous  acquisitions.  See Note 2 to the
condensed  consolidated financial statements of the Company for a description of
the material terms of these acquisitions.

         The Company's primary sources of short-term and long-term liquidity and
capital  resources at March 30, 1997 were cash flows from  operating  activities
and a secured line of credit with a bank.  The  Company's  line of credit allows
for maximum  borrowings of $20 million.  As of March 30, 1997 the Company had no
outstanding  borrowings  on the  line  of  credit.  Short-term  borrowings  bear
interest at the prime rate charged by the Company's lender which is periodically
adjusted  (at March 30,  1997,  8.50%),  and  long-term  borrowings  which  bear
interest at the LIBOR rate plus 1.75% (at March 30,  1997,  7.45%).  The Company
also had letters of credit of $3.7 million  outstanding  at March 30, 1997,  for
purposes of securing its workers' compensation premium obligation. The aggregate
amount of such letters of credit reduces the borrowing  availability on the line
of credit.  At March 30, 1997,  $16.3 million was  available  for  borrowings or
additional letters of credit under the line of credit.  Management believes that
the present  credit  facility,  together  with cash  reserves and cash flow from
operations,  will  be  sufficient  to fund  the  Company's  operations,  capital
expenditure requirements and acquisitions presently anticipated for at least the
next  12  months.  However,  if  the  Company  were  to  expand  its  operations
significantly, especially through unanticipated acquisitions, additional capital
may be  required.  There can be no  assurance  that the Company  will be able to
obtain additional capital at acceptable rates.


Other Matters
         During 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share." This
statement is  effective  for periods  ending  after  December 15, 1997 and early
application is prohibited.  The statement will require that the Company  present
basic earnings per share and diluted  earnings per share data to replace current
earnings per share  information  previously  presented and all prior period data
must be restated.  SFAS No. 128 provides new guidelines expected to simplify the
computation  of diluted  earnings per share.  This  statement is not expected to
have a material impact when adopted.
