                        Report of Independent Auditors

The Shareholders of
AmeriCare Employer's Group

We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheets of the  professional  employer
organization business of AmeriCare Employer's Group ("AmeriCare Employer's Group
PEO Business" or the "PEO  Business"),  as of November 30, 1997 and December 31,
1996,  and the related  statements of income,  PEO Business net worth,  and cash
flows for the eleven months ended November 30, 1997 and the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1995. These financial  statements are the responsibility of the PEO
Business'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 AmeriCare Employer's Group PEO
Business,  at November 30, 1997 and  December  31, 1996,  and the results of its
operations  and its cash flows for the eleven months ended November 30, 1997 and
the years  ended  December  31,  1996 and 1995,  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

The professional  employer  organization  business of AmeriCare Employer's Group
("AmeriCare  Employer's  Group PEO Business" or the "PEO  Business")  provides a
comprehensive  personnel  management  system which  encompasses a broad range of
services  including  benefits and payroll  administration,  medical and workers'
compensation  programs,  tax filings,  personnel records  management,  liability
management,  and  other  human  resource  services  to  small  to  medium  sized
businesses in several strategically  selected markets. The PEO Business operates
primarily in the state of Arizona.

Basis of Presentation

The  financial  statements  include only the assets and  liabilities  of the PEO
Business that relate to its professional employer organization  operations.  PEO
Business  net worth  represents  the net assets of the PEO  Business.  Operating
results include revenues and expenses  directly  relating to the PEO Business as
well  as  certain  allocated  costs  of  AmeriCare   Employer's  Group  and  its
subsidiaries.

Allocations

Prior to 1997 AmeriCare  Employer's Group and its subsidiaries had only one line
of business,  the PEO Business. As the result of certain 1997 acquisitions,  the
AmeriCare  Employer's Group and its  subsidiaries  entered an additional line of
business  separate  from the PEO  Business.  From  the date of such  acquisition
management believes it has separately identified substantially all of the direct
costs of each of the businesses and reflected such cost as a direct cost of each
of  the  business  operations.   Accordingly,   the  Company  has  made  minimal
allocations of costs between the respective businesses. In 1996 and 1995 the PEO
business  represented 100 percent of AmeriCare  Employer Group and  subsidiaries
operations.

Cash

Cash  consists of cash held at banks with a maturity  of less than three  months
from the date acquired and highly liquid equity securities considered to be cash
equivalents.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounts Receivable/Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized as services are performed. Included in accounts receivable
at November 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, is $5,095 and $4,073,  respectively,
of earned revenues relating  principally to accrued salaries and wages which had
not been billed as of that date.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment,  including capital leased assets,  consists primarily of
office furniture and equipment and is recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded
on the straight-line  method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which
generally range from five to seven years.

Noncompete Agreement

Pursuant to a noncompete  agreement reached with a former shareholder of the PEO
Business, the PEO Business must pay to that individual $8 per month beginning on
or before the 15th day of January  1992 and  continuing  on the 15th day of each
month  thereafter  until a total of sixty  payments  have been  made.  Since the
agreement is  noninterest  bearing,  the present  value of the monthly  payments
using 10 percent  interest was  computed to determine a value of the  agreement.
The  intangible  asset was fully  amortized  in 1996.  Payments  are recorded as
payment of principal and  interest,  and the amount of principal due in the next
twelve months is disclosed as a current liability.  Amortization expense was $78
for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

Workers' Compensation Claims Payable

The  PEO  Business   maintains   indemnity   insurance   coverage  for  workers'
compensation  claims that are  individually  greater  than $150 per claim and is
responsible  for amounts up to $150 per claim.  The PEO  Business  recognizes  a
liability for workers' compensation claims at the time a claim is incurred.  The
amount of this liability is computed utilizing  statistics  developed from prior
claims experience by management and a third party  administrator.  The liability
recorded may be more or less than the actual  amount of the claims when they are
submitted  and paid.  Changes  in the  liability  are  charged  or  credited  to
operations as the estimates are revised.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Although  considerable  variability  is inherent in such  estimates,  management
believes that the liability for worker's compensation claims is adequate. During
1997 the PEO Business  entered into a different  arrangement  with the insurance
carrier whereby claims payments to the carrier to cover deductible  amounts were
accelerated. As a result of the change in insurance arrangements, claims for the
deductible portion of incidents relating to 1997 were paid at a rate faster than
in  previous  years  thereby  resulting  in a reduction  to the accrued  workers
compensation liability.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  Advertising  expense was $238, $164
and $87 for the eleven  months  ended  November  30,  1997,  and the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Income Taxes

The PEO Business's operations are included in the consolidated income tax return
of AmeriCare Employer's Group and subsidiaries. Under the tax sharing principles
used by  AmeriCare  Employers  Group Inc.  and  subsidiaries,  the PEO  Business
accounts  for its  portion of income  taxes as if it was a  separate  income tax
paying entity. Accordingly,  income taxes receivable represents amounts due from
the  related  taxing   authority  and/or  other  operating  units  of  AmeriCare
Employer's  Group and  subsidiaries.  Deferred income taxes arise from temporary
differences  resulting  from  certain  revenue and expense  items  reported  for
financial accounting and tax reporting purposes in different periods.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial  statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the 1995 and 1996 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform with the 1997 presentation.

2. Long-Term Debt, Capital Leases and Line of Credit

The  components of long-term  debt as of November 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996
were as follows:



                                                     1997         1996

                                                 ============ ============


The noncompete  obligation requires monthly payments of $8 including interest at
10  percent,   through  December  1996.  Capital  lease  obligations   represent
obligations  at interest  varying  from 8.5  percent to 12.2  percent and mature
through 2000.

The PEO  Business  has a line of credit which  authorizes  borrowings  for up to
$350. The line expires in May 1998 and is collateralized by accounts  receivable
and  certain  equipment.  The  interest  rate on the  line is 9.75  percent.  At
November  30, 1997 and  December  31,  1996,  $-0- and $100,  respectively,  was
available  under  the line of  credit.  Interest  paid on the  above  obligation
totaled $27 and $26 for the eleven  months ended  November 30, 1997 and the year
ended December 31, 1996, respectively.

Future maturities of long-term debt, including capitalized lease obligations are
as follows:

Income taxes paid for the eleven  months  ended  November 30, 1997 and the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, were $380, $494 and $450, respectively.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities  (see Note 1) are comprised of the following
temporary differences at November 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996:

5. Defined Contribution Plan

The PEO Business established two money purchase pension plans on August 1, 1991.
The PEO Business makes  contributions  of 7.5 percent of each  employee's  gross
taxable  earnings to Money  Purchase  Pension Plan and Trust I and 10 percent of
each employee's  gross taxable earnings to Money Purchase Pension Plan and Trust
II. Each  employee who performs  services for a recipient of the PEO  Business's
employee leasing services,  and whose recipient elects to provide coverage under
one of these plans, is an eligible  participant as of the first day the employee
performs  services for such recipient.  The PEO Business  contributed $279, $273
and $266 to the

pension  plans  during the eleven  months ended  November  30,1997 and the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The PEO Business  established  a 401(k) plan on April 1, 1993.  The PEO Business
makes  contributions  equal to funds  withheld from  employee  paychecks and the
amount  matched  by  selected  clients  of the PEO  Business.  The PEO  Business
contributed  $975,  $726 and $497 to the plan  during  the eleven  months  ended
November 30, 1997 and the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

6. Related Party Transactions

The related party receivable represents amounts due to the PEO Business from the
other  businesses  of AmeriCare  Employer's  Group Inc. and  subsidiaries.  Such
amounts consist  principally of billings  related to the leasing of employees by
the PEO Business to the other  businesses.  Such amounts are considered to be in
the ordinary course of business and as such do not bear interest and are settled
periodically.

The  related  party  payable  represents  short-term  amounts due to the non-PEO
Business.

Payable to  shareholder  represents  a  short-term  loan to the Company that was
repaid after November 30, 1997.

7. Commitments

The PEO Business has entered  into  contracts  with  individuals  for  incentive
compensation  related to customers they were responsible for bringing to the PEO
Business.  The  compensation  is based on a percentage of the margin realized by
the PEO  Business  and is  payable  to the  individual  as long as the  customer
remains with the PEO Business. Under the terms of the contract, the PEO Business
does have an option to discontinue that payment  obligation by making a lump sum
payment in cash and/or  AmeriCare  Employer's Group common stock under a formula
defined  in  the  agreement.   Payments   under  such   incentive   compensation
arrangements were approximately  $438, $416 and $327 for the eleven months ended
November 30, 1997 and the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Effective  November  30, 1997,  the PEO  Business was sold to NovaCare  Employee
Services,  Inc.  There is no  assurance  that the  operating  results of the PEO
Business as set forth in these financial statements will be indicative of future
operating results.

9. Year 2000

The PEO  Business  is in the  process  of  assessing  the  effects  of Year 2000
software issues on its present information technology structure.  As of November
30, 1997, that assessment,  including a determination of the exposure of the PEO
Business's  business  processes to these  issues and the need for and  estimated
costs associated with any necessary conversions had not been completed.

(b)   Pro Forma Financial Information. 
The required pro forma financial information is set forth below.

                 PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

The  following  unaudited  pro forma  financial  statements  give  effect to the
acquisition of AmeriCare  Employers Group, Inc. ("PEO Business of AmeriCare") by
NovaCare  Employee  Services,  Inc. (the  "Registrant")  in a transaction  to be
accounted for as a purchase.

The purchase  agreement was dated as of December 1, 1997,  the effective date of
acquisition. Accordingly, the historical condensed consolidated balance sheet as
of December 31, 1997 includes the effect of the  acquisition and is incorporated
by reference to the  Registrant's  Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended  December  31,  1997.  The  unaudited  pro  forma  condensed  consolidated
statements of operations  for the six months ended December 31, 1997 and for the
period from October 1, 1996 (the  Registrant's  commencement  of  operations) to
June 30, 1997 have been  prepared  giving effect to the  acquisition  of the PEO
Business of AmeriCare as if the  transaction had taken place at the beginning of
the respective period.

The  unaudited  pro  forma  information  is based  on  certain  assumptions  and
estimates that the Registrant  believes are reasonable in the  circumstances and
does not purport to be indicative of the results which  actually would have been
attained  had the above  transaction  occurred as of the date  indicated,  or to
project the results of operations or financial position for any future period or
date. The pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the
historical   consolidated   financial  statements  of  the  Registrant  and  the
historical financial statements of the PEO business of AmeriCare.

(1)   Includes  adjustments  representing the reduction of selling,  general and
      administrative expenses.

                                              For the Six       For the Period

                                            =================   ================

(2)   Reflects additional  amortization of the excess of the purchase price over
      the fair value of net assets acquired. The additional amortization results
      from  non-compete  agreements,  customer  lists,  assembled work force and
      goodwill,  amortized on a straight  line basis over the  estimated  useful
      lives of the  assets  which  range  from  five to forty  years,  as if the
      business was acquired as of October 1, 1996.

(3)   Represents  additional  interest  expense  for  funds  borrowed  from  the
      Registrant's  revolving  credit  facility  to finance the  acquisition  of
      AmeriCare.

(4)   Represents an adjustment to state and federal income taxes relating to the
      net effect of the foregoing adjustments.

(5)   Under the terms of the  Purchase  Agreement,  the  Registrant  issued  723
      shares of $.01 par value common stock as purchase price consideration. The
      historical  weighted average shares  outstanding  reflects the issuance of
      these shares on December 1, 1997, the effective date of  acquisition.  The
      unaudited pro forma financial  statements  gives effect to the issuance of
      these shares on October 1, 1996, resulting in an increase to the pro forma
      weighted  average  shares  outstanding  of 602 and 723  shares for the six
      months  ended  December  31,  1997 and the  period  ended  June 30,  1997,
      respectively.

(6)   The historical  weighted average shares outstanding for the period October
      1, 1996 to June 30, 1997 have been restated in accordance  with Securities
      and Exchange  Commission Staff Accounting  Bulletin No. 98 ("SAB 98"). SAB
      98 revised the  computation  of the  historical  weighted  average  shares
      outstanding from the methods previously employed under SAB 83.
