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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Comforce Global, Inc. as of
September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and the results of its operations and

Comforce Global, Inc.
Notes to Combined Financial Statements
1. Description of Business:
Comforce Global, Inc. (formerly Spectrum Global Services, Inc., the "Company"),
a Delaware Corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Spectrum Information
Technologies, Inc. through an acquisition of the Company's assets on October 31,
1993. On October 17, 1995, 100% of the stock of Spectrum Global Services, Inc.
was sold to Lori Corporation, at which time the Company changed its name to
Comforce Global, Inc.. The Company provides telecommunications and computing
staffing and consulting services worldwide.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Revenue Recognition
Revenue for providing staffing services is recognized at the time such services
are rendered.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents consists primarily
of money market funds.
Accounts Receivable and Unbilled Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of those amounts due to the Company for staffing
services rendered to various customers. Accrued revenue consists of revenues
earned and recoverable costs for which billings have not yet been presented to
the customers as of the balance sheet dates.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and
repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Expenditures for betterments and
major renewals are capitalized. The cost of assets sold or retired and the
related amounts of accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in
the year of disposal, with any resulting profit or loss included in income.
Depreciation and amortization of assets are provided using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Intangibles
Goodwill is amortized over 15 years on a straight line basis.
Notes to Combined Financial Statements, Continued
Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No.
109"). SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in
the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A
valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to their expected
realizable value. The cumulative effect of implementing SFAS No.
109 as of January 1, 1994 was not significant.
3. Purchase of Assets:
On October 31, 1993, Spectrum Information Technologies, Inc. purchased the
assets and assumed the liabilities of Yield Industries, Inc. ("Yield") and
Wintec Corporation ("Wintec"). Subsequent to this, the name was changed to
Spectrum Global Services, Inc. The acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase. The fair value of the assets acquired, including goodwill, was
$4,120,000 and liabilities assumed totaled $199,000. Goodwill of approximately
$2,465,000 is being amortized over 15 years on a straight-line basis.
4. Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are summarized as follows:
Life of
equipment 1995 1994
--------- --------- ---------
Office equipment 3-5 years $ 61,311 $ 37,211
Furniture and fixtures 5-years 65,144 32,577
--------- ---------
126,455 69,788
Less, accumulated depreciation 32,747 13,911
--------- ---------
$ 93,708 $ 55,877
========= =========
Notes to Combined Financial Statements, Continued
5. Income Taxes:
The provision for income taxes of $15,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 and $14,740 for the year ended December 31, 1994 reflects minimum state
and local income taxes as the Company has state net operating losses on separate
Company returns. The Company files its federal income tax return as part of its
parent's consolidated return. Due to significant losses of the parent, the
Company has provided a full valuation on the potential future benefit from its
federal net operating losses. Net losses for financial reporting purposes do not
differ significantly from net losses for income tax purposes.
6. Concentration of Credit Risk:
The Company's accounts receivable as of September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994
consist primarily of amounts due from telecommunication companies. As a result,
the collectibility of these receivables is dependent, to an extent, upon the
economic condition of the telecommunications industry. At September 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994, the Company had four customers with accounts receivable
balances that aggregated 48% and 46%, respectively, of the Company's total
accounts receivable. Percentages of total revenues from significant customers
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 and the year ended December
31, 1994 are summarized as follows:
September 30, December 31,
1995 1994
------------ ------------
Customer 1 19.2% 19.9%
Customer 2 12.9% 12.8%
Customer 3 10.5% 9.9%
The Company maintains cash in bank accounts which at times may exceed federally
insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and
believes they are not exposed to any significant credit risk on their cash
balances. The Company believes it mitigates such risk by investing its cash
through major financial institutions.
7. Accrued Expenses:
Accrued expenses consist of the following:
1995 1994
------------ ------------
Payroll and payroll taxes $ 274,864 $ 143,449
Workers' compensation 70,000 70,000
Professional fees 42,408 7,531
Vacation 27,595 8,723
Other 8,713
------------ ------------
$ 423,580 $ 229,703
============ ============
Notes to Combined Financial Statements, Continued
8. Commitments and Contingencies:
Leases
At September 30, 1995, future minimum annual rental commitments under
noncancelable operating leases are as follows:
1996 $ 57,388
1997 58,583
1998 60,703
1999 62,913
2000 54,111
----------
$ 293,698
==========
Total rent expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 and the
year ended December 31, 1994 was $25,627 and $46,498, respectively.
9. Charges From Parent:
For the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and the year ended December 31,
1994, approximately $1,139,560 and $803,280, respectively, was charged to the
Company by its parent, Spectrum Information Technologies, Inc. as a management
charge which reflects an allocation of corporate overhead. Management expects
that such charges will no longer continue as a result of the sale of the Company
to Lori Corporation. Such charges may not represent expenses that would have
been incurred had the Company operated as a stand-alone entity. In addition, the
Company is charged by its parent company for insurance, rent, payroll,
professional fees, and other miscellaneous office expenses. Such charges
amounted to $236,808 and $506,113 for the nine month period ended September 30,
1995 and for the year ended December 31, 1994, respectively, and are included in
general and administrative expenses. The Company purchased furniture and
equipment and was charged miscellaneous office expenses from its affiliates.
Such charges amount to $1,014 and $29,967 in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
10. Other Matters:
On January 26, 1995, Spectrum Information Technologies, Inc., filed petition for
relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Spectrum Global Services, Inc.,
was not included in such filing). The sale of the stock of Spectrum Global
Services, Inc. to Lori Corporation on October 17, 1995 was formally approved by
the bankruptcy court.
Notes to Combined Financial Statements, Continued
In March 1995, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York
handed down indictments naming a former officer, former directors and former
employees of Spectrum Information Technologies, Inc., including the former
president and founder of Spectrum Global Services, Inc., Mr. James Paterek, for
allegedly conspiring to commit mail/wire fraud in connection with the operations
of the Caserta Group. Mr. Paterek has entered a plea of not guilty. The
government agreed to dismiss the indictment effective June 1996, subject to
certain conditions. He has resigned his position as president in September 1995,
remains an owner of approximately 14.7% of Lori Corporation and continues as a
consultant to the Company.
Item 7(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet at September 30,
1995 presents the financial position of the Company at September 30, 1995 as if

30, 1995. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 and the year ended December 31,1994,
