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 for the third quarter and nine months of 1996 was
19,859,328 and 19,870,938 shares, respectively. For the third quarter
and nine months of 1995, 19,838,623 and 19,829,130 shares,
respectively, were used.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, there were 8,000
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 $152,000.
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 will be sold pursuant to the plan. A reserve was established at
December 31, 1995 for estimated costs and losses to be incurred through
termination and sale of the discontinued business. During the nine
7
months ended September 30, 1996 costs charged against the reserve
amounted to $1,800,000 and were for items that corresponded to those
used in establishing the reserve. Operating results for the
discontinued operations, on the other hand, have been above
expectations. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 the
discontinued operations had pre-tax operating earnings of $2,100,000
which increased the reserve. The net assets for discontinued
operations of $7 million as of September 30, 1996 were 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 for the nine months and quarter ended
September 30, 1996 were 16% and 13% higher, respectively, compared to
the same periods a year ago. Operating profit for the nine months and
third quarter in 1996 was 4.7% and 5.0% of revenues, respectively,
compared to 4.5% and 4.9% for the nine months and third quarter in
1995.
Technical Services' revenues for the nine months and third quarter
of 1996 grew 15% and 12%, respectively, from last year s comparable
periods. Operating profit margins for both the nine months and third
quarter of 1996 were 4.7%, vs. 4.5% and 4.8% for last year s comparable
periods.
The Company previously reported that it will sell the
manufacturing technology division of its automotive business,
designated as a discontinued operation, and that it is exploring ways
to maximize the value of the remaining continuing Technical Services
business serving the automotive market. In 1996, the discontinued
business has performed above expectations. On the other hand, the
continuing automotive business has had disappointing results that
8
included a loss relating to a marginally priced contract that was
terminated and the settlement of which is currently being negotiated.
CDI s information technology revenues have grown significantly
over the past few years to a current third quarter annualized run-rate
of over $200 million. Substantially all of this growth has been
internal.
CDI has been taking a less aggressive approach to expanding its
managed technical staffing business because of a tighter margin
environment in certain types of that business. Most all of CDI s
existing managed staffing contracts with its blue-chip customer roster
are performing well, but the mix of profitability is a bit lean
compared with traditional staffing and especially compared with current
and potential information technology margins. Accordingly, managed
staffing has settled down to a more modest growth rate and a third
quarter annualized run-rate of $260 million.
CDI s telecommunications markets remained strong during the third
quarter, but chemicals/petrochemicals growth rates have eased back
during the second and third quarters.
Temporary Services' revenues for the nine months and third quarter
of 1996 were 16% and 15% higher, respectively, compared to the same
periods a year ago. Operating profit margins for the nine months and
third quarter of 1996 were 5.2% and 6.6%, respectively, vs. 4.8% and
6.2% for last year s comparable periods. The Temporary Services
segment is continuing to be favorably affected by the trends in U.S.
business and industry toward outsourcing.
Management Recruiters' revenues were up 17% for the nine months of
this year and up 24% compared to last year s third quarter. Operating
profit margins for the nine months and third quarter of 1996 were 14.7%
and 14.8%, respectively, compared to 15.0% and 14.8%, respectively, for
the same periods in 1995. Management Recruiters is also continuing to
be favorably affected by the trends in U.S. business and industry
toward outsourcing.
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 will be sold pursuant to the plan
adopted in 1995. A reserve was established as of December 31, 1995 for
costs and losses to be incurred relating to the discontinued business.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 costs charged against
the reserve amounted to $1,800,000 and were for items that corresponded
to those used in establishing the reserve. Operating results for the
discontinued operations, on the other hand, have been above
expectations. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 the
discontinued operations had pre-tax operating earnings of $2,100,000
which increased the reserve. For the nine months and quarter ended
September 30, 1995, the discontinued business had revenues of
$55,386,000 and $9,291,000, respectively. After tax losses were
9
$5,007,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and $5,732,000
for the quarter then ended. These losses are included in reported
earnings for each of the periods in 1995.
Financial Condition
-------------------
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.5 to 1
for both September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995. The ratio of long-
term debt to total capital (long-term debt plus shareholders' equity)
was 28% for September 30, 1996 and 32% for December 31, 1995. The
Company believes that capital resources available from operations and
financing arrangements are adequate to support the Company's
businesses.
