Management's Discussion and Analysis of
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. Certain of
these factors have been identified within the Company's various Reports,
Registration Statements and other filings previously made with the SEC.
Overview
The Company is a multi-regional provider of information technology and other
professional staffing services though its 41 branch offices located in 17
states.
The Company's business and strategy have changed dramatically since its
inception in 1971. From 1992 through 1994, current management repositioned its
core staffing business to improve profitability and to take advantage of
consolidating market dynamics. Significant revenue growth began in Fiscal 1995
as the Company implemented a growth strategy that since then has resulted in the
acquisition of thirteen businesses in the staffing industry. These acquisitions
shifted the Company's business toward the higher margin information technology
and specialty healthcare sectors. During this time, the Company also elected to
discontinue providing certain lower margin general support services. General
support services, which from Fiscal 1992 to Fiscal 1994 accounted for
approximately 51.0% of the Company's revenues, decreased as a percentage of the
Company's revenues to 13.1% during the six months ended April 30, 1998.
Correspondingly, revenues from the Company's specialty professional services
accounted for 86.9% of the Company's revenues during the six months ended April
30, 1998.
The Company realizes revenues from the placement of contract and temporary
staffing personnel. Principally all of these services are provided to the
customer on a time and material basis at hourly rates that are established for
each of the Company's staffing personnel, based upon their skill level,
experience and type of work performed. In some instances, the Company derives
revenues on a fixed fee basis in connection with consulting 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.
The majority of the Company's services 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 on 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 to 90 days notice. Revenues are recognized when
services are provided.
13
RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - (Continued)
Overview - (Continued)
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. Selling, general and
administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits of personnel
responsible for operating activities and include corporate overhead expenses.
Corporate overhead expenses relate to salaries and benefits of personnel
responsible for corporate activities, including the company's acquisition
program and corporate marketing, administrative and reporting responsibilities.
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 which is being amortized over 40-year
periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To support its acquisition program and related working capital requirements, the
Company has historically used borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility and
proceeds from offerings of Common Stock. On June 13, 1997, the Company completed
a public offering which raised $23.3 million in proceeds for the Company. The
net offering proceeds through April 30, 1998, have been used to fund
acquisitions and retire bank debt. During February 1998, the Company completed
the acquisition of two companies which required the use of $6.7 million of loan
availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. At April 30, 1998, the Company
had approximately $424,000 in cash and approximately $10.0 million in unused
loan availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.
On June 3,1998, the Company completed a public offering of 2,700,000 shares of
Common Stock, of which 2,509,980 shares were sold by the Company and 190,020
were sold by certain selling stockholders. The proceeds to the Company net of
estimated offering costs was approximately $50 million.
Cash provided by operating activities was $1.2 million for the six months ended
April 30, 1998 compared to a use of cash of $1.2 million for the six months
ended April 30, 1997. The increase of $2.4 million was the result of the
increase of $2.6 million in net income before depreciation and amortization and
other non-cash charges and a decrease of $200,000 from changes in working
capital, primarily an increase in accounts payable and taxes other than income
taxes which was in turn offset by an increase in accounts receivable.
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended April 30, 1998 was
$12.1 million compared to $6.0 million for the six months ended April 30, 1997.
This increase was principally the result of larger acquisitions completed by the
Company during the six months ended April 30, 1998 as compared to those
acquisitions completed during the six months ended April 30, 1997.
Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended April 30, 1998
was $10.3 million compared to $7.2 million for the six months ended April 30,
1997. This increase was principally the result of proceeds from the exercise of
stock warrants, and borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility.
The increase in cash for the six months ended April 30, 1997 represented a net
increase in borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility.

RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - (Continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources - (Continued)
On December 19, 1996, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into an amended
and restated loan agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A. to provide the Revolving
Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured 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, 1997 and April 30,
1998, the Company and its subsidiaries were in compliance with all financial
covenants contained within the Revolving Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are to be used to meet cash flow
requirements for the Company's subsidiaries as well as operating expenses for
the Company. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at
the Company's option, at LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) or the bank's
prime rate, plus applicable margin. At October 31, 1997 and April 30, 1998 there
was approximately $14.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, of unused loan
availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company utilized
approximately $8.0 million of the net proceeds from its June 3, 1998 Offering to
pay down the Revolving Credit Facility which had a balance of approximately
$10.0 million as of June 3, 1998, although the Company does intend to draw on
this line as needed in the future.
The Company anticipates that its primary uses of capital in future periods will
be for acquisitions and the funding of increases in working capital. The
Company's business strategy is to achieve growth both internally through
operations and externally through strategic acquisitions. The Company's
liquidity and capital resources may be affected in the future as the Company
continues to grow through implementation of this strategy which may involve
acquisitions facilitated through the use of cash and/or debt and equity
securities. Funding for future acquisitions will be obtained from the proceeds
of the June 3, 1998 Offering, the Revolving Credit Facility, funds generated
through operations and future financing transactions.
The Company does not currently have material commitments for capital
expenditures and does not anticipate entering into any such commitments during
the next twelve months. The Company continues to evaluate acquisitions of
various businesses which are complementary to its current operations. The
Company's current commitments consist primarily of lease obligations for office
space. The Company believes that its capital resources are sufficient to meet
its present obligations and those to be incurred in the normal course of
business for the next twelve months.
During the six months ended April 30, 1998, the Company derived $2.2 million of
proceeds from the issuance of 148,749 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise
of its Class C Warrants (the "Warrants") at an effective exercise price of
$15.00 per share. The Warrants were issued in a public offering undertaken by
the Company during 1989, and after several extensions, expired on April 30,
1998.

Revenues. Revenues increased 77.6%, or $37.6 million, for the six months ended
April 30, 1998 as compared to the comparable prior-year period. Of this
increase, approximately $25.0 million was attributable to revenue growth through
acquisitions made during Fiscal 1997 and the six months ended April 30, 1998,
and approximately $12.6 million was attributable to internal growth. For the six
months ended April 30, 1998 internal growth was 38.7% for the Professional
Engineering and Information Technology groups and 26.0% for the Company as a
whole.
Cost of Services. Cost of services increased 75.9%, or $28.2 million, for the
six months ended April 30, 1998 as compared to the comparable 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 75.9% for the six months ended
April 30, 1998, from 76.6% for the comparable prior-year period. This
improvement was primarily due 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 65.4%, or $5.2 million, for the six months ended April 30,
1998, as compared to the comparable prior-year period. This increase was
primarily due to selling, general and administrative expenses associated with
increased revenues during the six months ended April 30, 1998, as compared to
the comparable prior-year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of revenues decreased to 15.2% for the six months ended April
30, 1998, from 16.4% in the comparable prior-year period, primarily attributable
to the sharing of administrative overhead over a larger revenue base.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased 149.1%,
or $355,000, for the six months ended April 30, 1998, as compared to the
comparable prior-year period. This increase was primarily due to the
amortization of intangible assets acquired in connection with the acquisitions
that occurred after April 30, 1997.
Interest Expense. Actual interest expense of $207,000, for the six months ended
April 30, 1998, was partially offset by $16,000 of interest income, which was
earned from the investment in interest-bearing deposits of the net proceeds of
the Company's public offering in June 1997, after the repayment of bank debt.
Interest expense decreased 21.4%, or $56,000, for the six months ended April 30,
1998 as compared to the comparable prior-year period. This decrease was due to
the decreased borrowings necessary to provide the funds for working capital.
Income Tax. Income tax expense increased 136.1%, or $1,637,000, for the six
months ended April 30, 1998, as compared to the comparable prior-year period.
This increase was due to increased levels of income.
