Comments to Financial Statements
Earnings per share of common stock are based on the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common share
equivalents, which arise from stock options, outstanding during the
periods. No further dilution resulted from a computation of fully
diluted earnings per share. The number of shares used to compute
earnings per share was 19,871,616 for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and 19,822,600 for the three months ended March 31, 1995.

During the three months ended March 31, 1996, there were 5,500
shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of stock options
granted under the Company s non-qualified stock option and stock
appreciation rights plan. The issuance of these shares resulted in an
increase in additional paid-in capital of $98,000.
At the end of 1995 the Company adopted a plan to sell the
manufacturing technology division of a subsidiary which serves the
automotive market. That division is classified as a discontinued
operation in the Company s financial statements. The operations of a
small portion of the discontinued business were terminated by March 31,
1996. The remainder of the discontinued business continues to operate
and is expected to be sold prior to the end of 1996. Costs incurred
during the three months ended March 31, 1996 of $1.7 million, primarily
operating losses during the period, relating to the discontinued
business were charged against a reserve established at December 31,
1995 for estimated costs and losses to be incurred in 1996 through
termination and sale of the discontinued business. The charges to the
7
reserve were for items and in amounts that corresponded to estimates
used in establishing the reserve. Only very minor amounts of assets
of the discontinued business were disposed of as of March 31, 1996.
The net assets for discontinued operations of $19 million as of March
31, 1996 were not significantly different from December 31, 1995 and
are comprised primarily of working capital and fixed assets.
The financial statements included in this report are unaudited
and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods
presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
These comments contain only the information which is required by
Form 10-Q. Further reference should be made to the comprehensive
disclosures contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1995.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Discontinued Operations
-----------------------
At the end of 1995 the Company adopted a plan to sell the
manufacturing technology division of a subsidiary which serves the
automotive market. That division is classified as a discontinued
operation in the Company's financial statements.
Results of Operations
---------------------
Consolidated revenues from continuing operations for the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 were 20% above the comparable quarter a year ago.
Operating profit margins from continuing operations were 4.4% of
revenues for the first quarter of this year compared to 4.0% for the
same period in 1995.
Technical Services' revenues from continuing operations increased
21% over the first quarter a year ago. Operating profit margins from
continuing operations for Technical Services were 4.5% in the first
quarter of 1996 compared to 4.1% for the 1995 first quarter. Technical
Services is benefitting from the broad-based trend in American business
and industry toward greater use of outsourced services. Telecommunica-
tions and information systems services markets remain particularly
strong, and petrochemicals continues to improve. In the automotive
sector, CDI Technical Services' continuing operations returned to above
breakeven after incurring losses in last year's third and fourth
quarters.
Temporary Services' revenues were up 19% over last year s first
quarter. Operating profit margins for Temporary Services were 4.4% for
the first quarter of 1996, compared with 4.0% for the 1995 first
quarter. Temporary Services markets remain firm.
8
Management Recruiters' revenues for the first quarter of 1996 grew
7% over last year's first quarter. Operating profit margins were 14%
of revenues for the first quarter of this year and 15% for the first
quarter of last year. Management Recruiters' markets also remain firm
and performance continued at a steady pace.
The operations of a small portion of the discontinued business
were terminated by March 31, 1996. The remainder of the discontinued
business continues to operate and is expected to be sold prior to the
end of 1996. Costs incurred during the first quarter of 1996 of $1.7
million, primarily operating losses during the quarter, relating to the
discontinued business were charged against a reserve established as of
December 31, 1995 for such costs and losses. For the first quarter of
1995, the discontinued business had revenues of $26,563,000 and
earnings from operations of $811,000. These earnings were included in
reported earnings for that quarter.
Financial Condition
-------------------
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.5 to 1
for both March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995. The ratio of long-term
debt to total capital (long-term debt plus shareholders' equity) was
32% for both March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995. The Company
believes that capital resources available from operations and financing
arrangements are adequate to support the Company's businesses.
