and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company
and its results of operations for the interim periods set forth herein. The
results for the six months ended April 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

On June 13, 1997, the Company completed a public offering of 2,875,000
shares of Common Stock, of which, 2,698,187 shares were offerred and sold by the
Company and 176,813 shares were offered by certain selling stockholders. The

$23,486,882. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of
the shares by by the selling stockholders.
3. Acquisition
On January 7, 1997, the Company acquired Programming Alternatives of
Minnesota, Inc. ("PAMI"), a Minneapolis, Minnesota-based specialty provider
of information technology personnel, particularly those with high demand
client-server skills. The acquisition was completed effective as of
November 4, 1996 through a stock purchase transaction (the "Purchase")
pursuant to which PAMI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Purchase consideration paid to the former shareholders of PAMI consisted of
$4,500,000 cash and a $1,625,000 three year promissory note payable
contingent upon PAMI achieving certain base levels of operating income for
each twelve month period following the Purchase during the term of the
note. An additional earn-out payment may be made to the former shareholders
of PAMI at the end of the third anniversary of the Purchase to the extent
that operating income during this period exceeds these base levels. The
acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
The cost in excess of net assets acquired of $4,483,331 is included in the
Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as "Intangible Assets" and is being
amortized over a 40 year period.
On April 1, 1997, the Company acquired certain operating assets of
Programming Resources ("PRU") for $600,000 cash plus $300,000 of
consideration in the form of a three year promissory note payable upon
attaining certain earnings targets within the three-year period. The
Company also agreed to pay additional consideration to the shareholders of
PRU in the event that during the three-year period the performance of PRU
exceeds the established earnings targets. PRU generated revenues of
approximately $2.4 million during its fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

provides information technology staffing services. The cost in excess of
net assets acquired of $582,000 is included in the Company's Consolidated
Balance Sheet as "Intangible Assets" and is being amortized over a 40 year
period.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Safe Harbor Statement
When used in or incorporated by reference into this Report, the words
"estimate," "project," "intend," "expect" and similar expressions are intended
to identify forward-looking statements regarding events and financial trends
which may affect the Company's future operating results and financial position.
Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the
Company's actual results and financial position to differ materially. Such
factors are set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended October 31, 1996, under the heading "Business-Risk Factors."
Overview
The Company provides contract and temporary personnel in the information
technology, professional engineering and technical, specialty healthcare and
general support sectors of the staffing industry to a diversified base of
national, regional and local customers. The Company's business and strategy have
changed dramatically since its inception in 1971. Through 1981, the Company's
business focused on the development of environmental technologies and the
operation of related environmental businesses. In 1981, the Company diversified
its operations through the acquisition of Intertec Design, Inc., a staffing
company that provided technical, clerical and light industrial personnel. Under
current management in 1992, the Company chose to discontinue its environmental
business and from 1992 through 1994 repositioned its core staffing business to
improve profitability and to take advantage of consolidating market dynamics.
Significant revenue growth was experienced beginning in fiscal 1995 as the
Company implemented a growth strategy that resulted in the acquisition of six
businesses in the staffing industry. This resulted in an increase in the
Company's gross margins and net income as the mix of the Company's business
shifted towards the higher margin information technology and specialty
healthcare sectors and as the Company elected to discontinue providing certain
lower margin general support services. General support services, which from
fiscal 1992 to 1994 accounted for approximately 51% of the Company's revenues,
decreased as a percentage of the Company's revenues to approximately 20% during
the six months ended April 30, 1997. Corresponding increases were experienced in
the Company's newly acquired information technology and specialty healthcare
groups, accounting for approximately 41% and 6%, respectively, of the Company's
revenues during the six months ended April 30, 1997.
The Company realizes revenues from the placement of contract and temporary
staffing personnel. These services are normally provided to the customer on a
time and material basis at fixed hourly rates that are established for each of
the Company's staffing personnel, based upon their skill level, experience and
type of work performed. Billable hourly rates range from an average of
approximately $55 - $75 within the information technology group, $30 - $60 in
the professional engineering group, $35 - $65 within the specialty healthcare
group and $8 - $15 in the Company's general support group. Approximately 90% of
the Company's revenues are currently realized on the basis of agreed upon hourly
billing rates. In some instances, billing rates can be adjusted based upon
increases in workmen's compensation, taxes and other agreed upon costs. A small
percentage of the Company's business is presently derived from fixed-bid
projects. In view of the diversification of the Company's service offerings, and
by drawing upon the skills developed within the Company's engineering and
technical group, management intends to develop project management skills within
its information technology and other groups and believes that an additional
percentage of its business may be derived in the future from larger-scale
consulting projects.
12
RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - (Continued)
Overview - (Continued)
Approximately 40% of the Company's services are provided under contract. The
remainder are provided under purchase orders. Contracts are utilized on certain
of the more complex assignments where the engagements are for longer terms or
where precise documentation of the nature and scope of the assignment is
necessary. Contracts, although they normally relate to longer-term and more
complex engagements, generally do not obligate the customer to purchase a
minimum level of services and are generally terminable by the customer on 60 -
90 days notice. The average length of engagement varies from three months to one
year within the information technology and engineering sectors, three months to
six months within the specialty healthcare sector and one week to three weeks
within the general support sector. Approximately 70% of the Company's services
are billed to customers on a weekly basis. The remainder are billed on a
bi-weekly and monthly basis based upon the type of project and arrangement with
the customer. Revenues are recognized when the services are provided.
Costs of services consist primarily of salaries and compensation related
expenses for billable staffing personnel, including payroll taxes, employee
benefits, worker's compensation and other insurance. Principally all of the
billable personnel are treated by the Company as employees, although
approximately 5% of information technology personnel are treated as independent
contractors. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of
salaries and benefits of personnel responsible for operating activities,
including certain administrative, marketing and reporting responsibilities,
including legal, accounting and corporate office overhead. The Company records
these expenses when incurred. Depreciation relates primarily to the fixed assets
of the Company. Amortization relates principally to the goodwill resulting from
the Company's acquisitions. These acquisitions have been accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting for financial reporting purposes and have created
goodwill estimated at $14.6 million which is being amortized over a 40 year
period currently resulting in amortization expense aggregating approximately
$365,000 annually.
The Company's net income for each of the three fiscal years in period ended
October 31, 1996, has been determined after giving effect to the utilization of
a net operating loss carryforward. This effectively reduced to a minimal amount
federal tax accruals during those periods and subjected the Company to composite
tax rates of between 9.9% and 16.1%, principally as a result of state income
taxes. During and through fiscal 1996, the Company had utilized principally all
of its net operating loss carryforward and, accordingly, expects that for the
foreseeable future its net income will be subject to taxation at full federal
and state rates of approximately 40.5%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has historically funded its capital requirements with cash generated
from operations and advances under its outstanding credit facility. In addition,
during fiscal 1996, the Company secured $1 million through a private placement
of its Common Stock. The Company typically maintains minimal cash balances, and
at April 30, 1997, had approximately $35,000 in cash.
During the six months ended April 30, 1997, operating activities used $1.2
million of cash compared to $.4 million during the comparable period in fiscal
1996. The increased use of cash used in operating activities of $.8 million was
primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable of $3.9 million for
October 31, 1996. The increase was partially offset by increased levels of
profitability along with an increase in depreciation and amortization during the
comparable period in fiscal 1996.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Liquidity and Capital Resources - (Continued)
Cash used in investing activities was $6.0 million for the six months ended
April 30, 1997. In January 1997, the Company purchased PAMI for $4.5 million in
cash and a three year contingent promissory note. In addition, the acquisition
of PAMI required the use of $660,000 in working capital funds. In April 1997,
the Company acquired PRU for $600,000 in cash and a three year contingent
promissory note. During fiscal 1996, the Company purchased three staffing
companies which required $1.0 million of cash as part of the purchase price.
During fiscal 1995, the Company purchased two staffing companies which required
$2.3 million in cash as part of the purchase price. The Company financed the
cash portion of the acquisitions with internal funds and bank borrowings. These
acquisitions collectively resulted in goodwill estimated at $14.6 million which
is being amortized at approximately $365,000 per year.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $7.2 million and $1.4 million for
the six months ended April 30, 1997. Cash was primarily provided under the
Company's Revolving Credit Facility during the six months ended April 30, 1997.
On December 19, 1996, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into an amended
and restated loan agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A. providing for a credit
facility of up to $20,000,000 (the "Revolving Credit Facility") which expires on
June 30, 1999. The Revolving Credit Facility is collateralized by accounts
receivable, contract rights and furniture and fixtures together with unlimited
guarantees from the Company. The Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company
and its subsidiaries to meet certain financial objectives and maintain certain
financial covenants with respect to net income, effective net worth, working
capital, senior indebtedness to effective net worth ratios, capital
expenditures, current assets to current liabilities ratios, consolidated working
capital and consolidated tangible net worth. At October 31, 1996, and April 30,
1997, the Company and its subsidiaries were in compliance with all financial
covenants contained within the Revolving Credit Facility.
Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility are to be used to meet cash flow
requirements for the subsidiaries as well as operating expenses for the Company.
Borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on 85% of accounts
receivable on which not more than ninety days have elapsed since the date of
invoicing. The interest rate charged by the bank, under the revoling credit
facility is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.25%.
The Company anticipates that its primary uses of capital in future periods will
be for acquisitions and the funding of increases in accounts receivables. The
Company believes that the net proceeds from its recent public offerring of
Common Stock on June 13, 1997, (See Note 2) and borrowings under the Revolving
Credit Facility and any net cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet
the Company's capital needs for at least the next twelve months.
Prior to 1977, the Company operated a facility located in Fontana, California
(the "Facility") at which it processed certain materials to recover aluminum.
The property on which the Facility was located (the "Property") was owned by a
former shareholder and officer ("Former Officer") of the Company. In 1977, the
Company sold certain assets (the "1977 Transaction") utilized in its operation
to a company (the "Purchaser") that continued processing similar materials at
the Facility until 1982. As part of the 1977 Transaction, the Company was
permitted to store on the Property an existing stockpile of aluminum oxide
materials (the "Stockpile") which was available for consumption in the
Purchaser's operations. From 1977 to 1980, the Purchaser utilized a significant
amount of material from the Stockpile in its operations. Material generated by
the Purchaser's operations were also added to the Stockpile. The Purchaser
acquired the Property in 1985 from the Former Officer.
Purportedly in response to an order from a state environmental agency (which,
along with a subsequent order, is referred to herein as the "Order") relating to
potential ground water degradation, the Purchaser performed a number of actions,
including, in 1992, disposal of the then existing Stockpile at an approximate
cost of $5.6 million. The Purchaser has sought

contribution from the Company for its proportionate share of the disposal costs,
as well as anticipated maintenance costs of approximately $700,000, on common
law grounds and pursuant to certain federal and state environmental laws. Based
upon, among other things, an analysis of environmental studies performed before
and after the 1977 Transaction as well as a review of the compliance records of
the state environmental agency, the Company has concluded that: (i) the Facility
was in material compliance with all applicable federal and state environmental
laws at the time of the 1977 Transaction; (ii) the Purchaser was cited for
numerous violations of applicable environmental laws after the 1977 Transaction,
thus, any violations of laws after 1977, including any consequent remediation
and disposal obligations, were likely the responsibility of the Purchaser; (iii)
neither the costs incurred by the Purchaser, nor the events leading up to the
incurrence of these costs, appear to support a claim under federal environmental
laws; (iv) certain actions taken and costs incurred by the Purchaser may not
have been necessary or required to comply with the Order; (v) liability, if any,
would only apply to the minority percentage of the Stockpile attributable to the
Company's operations; and (vi) the Purchaser's contribution claims for costs
incurred in 1992 and earlier in response to the Order may be barred under the
statute of limitations relating to the state law claims.
The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the Purchaser's claims and,
in management's opinion, the Company's exposure under the claims is not likely
to have a materially adverse impact on the Company's overall financial
condition. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will not incur
material expenses and costs in connection with the defense and resolution of any
claims brought by the Purchaser or that the Company will not ultimately be
responsible for certain of the costs incurred by the Purchaser, which may
include pre- and post-judgment interest, in an amount that may be material to
the Company. Furthermore, since the Company has not established any reserves in
connection with such claims, any such liability, if at all, would be recorded as
an expense in the period incurred or estimated. This amount, even if not
material to the Company's overall financial condition, could adversely affect
the Company's results of operations in the period recorded. Management intends
to vigorously oppose any such claims.

Revenues. Revenues increased 106.0%, or $25.0 million, for the six months ended
April 30, 1997, as compared to the comparable prior year period. Of this
increase, approximately $17.1 million was attributable to revenue growth through
acquisitions that occurred after the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and
approximately $7.9 million was from internal growth. Internal growth was
experienced in the information technology and healthcare sectors and was offset
by discontinued business in the general support sector due to unacceptable
margins and workers' compensation rates.

Six Months Ended April 30, 1997,
Compared to Six Months Ended April 30, 1996 - (Continued)
COST OF SERVICES. Cost of services increased 92.7% , or $17.9 million, for the
six months ended April 30, 1997 as compared to the equivalent prior year period.
This increase was primarily due to increased salaries and compensation
associated with the increased revenues experienced during this period. Cost of
services as a percentage of revenues decreased to 76.6% for the six months ended
April 30, 1997, from 81.9% for the comparable prior year period. This decline
was primarily attributable to a greater percentage of the Company's revenues
being derived from specialty staffing services.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 157.7%, or $4.9 million, for the six months ended April 30,
1997, as compared to the comparable prior year period. This increase resulted
from the change in the mix of the business during the six months ended April 30,
1997, which required higher marketing, sales, recruiting and administrative
expenses than the comparable prior year period. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 16.4% for the
six months ended April 30, 1997, from 13.1% in the comparable prior year period,
primarily attributable to the increased sales, recruiting and administrative
expenses necessary to support the Company's continued growth within the
information technology sector.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization increased 79.7%, or
$105,600, for the six months ended April 30, 1997, as compared to the comparable
prior year period. This increase was primarily due to the amortization of
intangible assets incurred in connection with the acquisitions that occurred
after the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased 414.1%, or $212,000, for the six
months ended April 30, 1997, as compared to the comparable prior year period.
This increase was due to the increased borrowings necessary to provide the funds
required for certain of the Company's acquisitions as well as to refinance the
working capital debt of some of the acquired companies.
INCOME TAX. Income tax expense increased 1002.0%, or $1,093,000 for the six
months ended April 30, 1997, as compared to the comparable prior year period.
This increase was due to an increase in the effective tax rate from 10.9% to
41.5% and increased levels of net income. The increase in the effective tax rate
was primarily due to the utilization of principally all of the remaining net
operating loss carryforward which offset net income in prior periods.

Revenues. Revenues increased 98.6%, or $13.6 million, for the three months ended
April 30, 1997, as compared to the comparable prior year period. Of this
increase, approximately $7.2 million was attributable to revenue growth through
acquisitions that occurred after the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and
approximately $6.4 million was from internal growth. Internal growth was
experienced in the information technology and healthcare sectors and was offset
by discontinued business in the general support sector due to unacceptable
margins and workers' compensation rates.
Cost of Services. Cost of services increased 86.8% , or $9.8 million, for the
three months ended April 30, 1997 as compared to the equivalent prior year
period. This increase was primarily due to increased salaries and compensation
associated with the increased revenues experienced during this period. Cost of
services as a percentage of revenues decreased to 77.2% for the three months
ended April 30, 1997, from 82.1% for the comparable prior year period. This
decline was primarily attributable to a greater percentage of the Company's
revenues being derived from specialty staffing services.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 123.8%, or $2.4 million, for the three months ended April 30,
1997, as compared to the comparable prior year period. This increase resulted
from the change in the mix of the business during the three months ended April
30, 1997, which required higher marketing, sales, recruiting and administrative
expenses than the comparable prior year period. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 15.8% for the
three months ended April 30, 1997, from 14.0% in the comparable prior year
period, primarily attributable to the increased sales, recruiting and
administrative expenses necessary to support the Company's continued growth
within the information technology sector.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased 48.5%, or
$38,999, for the three months ended April 30, 1997, as compared to the
comparable prior year period. This increase was primarily due to the
amortization of intangible assets incurred in connection with the acquisitions
that occurred after the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased 557.0%, or $146,200, for the three
months ended April 30, 1997, as compared to the comparable prior year period.
This increase was due to the increased borrowings necessary to provide the funds
required for certain of the Company's acquisitions as well as to refinance the
working capital debt of some of the acquired companies.
Income Tax. Income tax expense increased 1378.3%, or $665,000 for the three
months ended April 30, 1997, as compared to the comparable prior year period.
This increase was due to an increase in the effective tax rate from 11.1% to
43.7% and increased levels of net income. The increase in the effective tax rate
was primarily due to the utilization of principally all of the remaining net
