             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 and  twenty-six  week periods
ended June 29, 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  twenty-six  weeks ended June 29,  1997,  the Company  acquired
certain  assets  or  stock  and  substantially  all  of  the  operations  of six
businesses  and a customer list of a seventh.  The aggregate  purchase price was
approximately  $3,571,000  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  $3,400,000,  of which $3,182,000 has been
preliminarily  allocated to goodwill  and  $218,000 has been  allocated to other
intangible assets.


      Earnouts and  Acquisition  Costs - During the twenty-six  weeks ended June
29,  1997 the  Company  paid  earnouts  totaling  $406,000.  As of June 29, 1997
accrued  acquisition  earnouts totaled  $4,460,336.  During the twenty-six weeks
ended June 29, 1997 the  Company  incurred  direct  acquisition  costs  totaling
$136,238.

      Pro Forma Acquisition Information--Unaudited
      The unaudited pro forma  acquisition  information for the twenty-six weeks
ended June 29, 1997 and June 30, 1996  presents  the  results of  operations  of
material  acquisitions as if the  acquisitions  had occurred at the beginning of
each  twenty-six  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.

      On June 6,  1997,  Enerco,  Inc.  ("Enerco"),  a  former  customer  of the
Company,  filed a Complaint  against the Company in the  District  Court for the
Second Judicial District,  in and for Davis County,  State of Utah (hereinafter,
the "Action").  On August 1, 1997, Enerco filed an Amended Complaint against the
Company in the Action. In its Amended  Complaint,  Enerco alleges claims against
the Company for breach of contract, negligence, and fraud and misrepresentation.
Enerco's  claims  stem from the  alleged  theft of surplus  military  goods from
Enerco's warehouse by a former temporary  employee of the Company.  Enerco seeks
special,  general,  consequential,  and punitive  damages,  among others,  in an
amount in excess of $7,000,000.  Based on the information  currently  available,
the Company  believes that the allegations  contained the Amended  Complaint are
without  merit,  that it has valid  defenses  to each  allegation  raised in the
Amended Complaint and it intends to vigorously defend the Action.

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 twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 1997, options to purchase 4,260
shares of common  stock were  exercised by  employees  and the Company  received
$29,788.


Note 5.  Subsequent Events

      On July 1, 1997, the company purchased assets of one business and stock of
another for an aggregate  purchase  price of $5,520,000  plus future  contingent
earnouts up to a maximum of $6,000,000.

      Service Revenues.  Service revenues increased by $16.6 million or 55.3% to
$46.5  million  for the  thirteen  weeks  ended June 29,  1997  compared  to the
thirteen weeks ended June 30, 1996. Of the $16.6 million increase, approximately
$8.5 million was  attributable  to offices  acquired  during 1996 and 1997, $5.8
million was  attributable  to  increased  revenues in existing  offices and $2.3
million was  attributable to opening offices in new markets.  For the twenty-six
weeks ended June 29, 1997 service revenues increased by $32.4 million, or 58.9%,
to $87.4 million  compared to $55.0 million for the twenty-six  weeks ended June
30,  1996.  Of the $32.4  million  increase,  approximately  $16.7  million  was
attributable  to  offices  acquired  during  1996 and 1997,  $11.2  million  was
attributable  to  increased  revenues in existing  offices and $4.5  million was
attributable to 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  June 29,  1997 and June 30,  1996 was  21.9%  and  20.4%
respectively.  Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the twenty-six weeks
ended June 29,  1997 and June 30,  1996 was 21.7% and 20.6%,  respectively.  The
increase in gross  profit was  primarily  due to a shift in business mix towards
the information technology business segment.


      Selling,  General  and  Administrative  Expenses.   Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses as a  percentage  of service  revenues for the thirteen
weeks ended June 29,  1997 and June 30, 1996 was 16.1% and 15.4%,  respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of service revenues
for the  twenty-six  weeks  ended June 29,  1997 and June 30, 1996 was 16.2% and
15.8%,  respectively.  The  increase  in  selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses as a percentage of service  revenues was  attributable to a higher cost
structure in the information  technology and specialty areas and amortization of
intangible  assets of 0.6% and 0.2% of service  revenues for the thirteen  weeks
ended June 29, 1997 and June 30, 1996, respectively.

      Income Taxes. The effective combined federal and state income tax rate for
the  thirteen  weeks  ended June 29, 1997 and June 30, 1996 was 41.0% and 38.0%,
respectively.  The effective  combined federal and state income tax rate for the
twenty-six  weeks  ended  June 29,  1997 and June 30,  1996 was 40.4% 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  twenty-six  weeks  ended  June  29,  1997 net  cash  provided  by
operating  activities  was $0.6  million  compared to net cash used in operating
activities  of $1.5 million for the  twenty-six  weeks ended June 30, 1996.  The
increase in operating  cash flow was a result of higher net income and increased
depreciation and amortization.

      The Company's investing  activities used $0.7 million to purchase property
and equipment,  $3.8 million to purchase assets of acquired  businesses and $0.4
million  to  pay  earnouts  on  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 June 29, 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  June  29,  1997  the  Company  had
outstanding  borrowings  of  $0.5  million  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 June 29, 1997,  8.50%),  and long-term  borrowings
which bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 1.75% (at June 29, 1997,  7.50%). The
Company also had letters of credit of $3.7 million outstanding at June 29, 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 June 29, 1997, $15.8 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 on the Company's financial condition when adopted.

                         PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

      Item 1. Legal proceedings
            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.

      On June 6,  1997,  Enerco,  Inc.  ("Enerco"),  a  former  customer  of the
Company,  filed a Complaint  against the Company in the  District  Court for the
Second Judicial District,  in and for Davis County,  State of Utah (hereinafter,
the "Action").  On August 1, 1997, Enerco filed an Amended Complaint against the
Company in the Action. In its Amended  Complaint,  Enerco alleges claims against
the Company for breach of contract, negligence, and fraud and misrepresentation.
Enerco's  claims  stem from the  alleged  theft of surplus  military  goods from
Enerco's warehouse by a former temporary  employee of the Company.  Enerco seeks
special,  general,  consequential,  and punitive  damages,  among others,  in an
amount in excess of $7,000,000.  Based on the information  currently  available,
the Company  believes that the allegations  contained the Amended  Complaint are
without  merit,  that it has valid  defenses  to each  allegation  raised in the
Amended Complaint and it intends to vigorously defend the Action.


      Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.

            a) Exhibit 27 - Financial Data Schedule, filed herewith.

            b) No reports were filed on Form 8-K during the quarter for which
               this report is filed.
