1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The consolidated financial statements include the operations of 
Diversified Corporate Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), 
all of which are wholly owned.  The financial information for the three 
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, is unaudited but includes all 
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which the Company 
considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the period.  
The financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated 
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996, included in the 
Company's annual report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months 
ended March 31, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may 
be expected for the entire year ended December 31, 1997. 

  RECLASSIFICATIONS

    Certain amounts in the December 31 and March 31, 1996, Consolidated 
Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1997

3.  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FROM RELATED PARTY

    During the first quarter of 1997 and during 1996, the Company paid 
various expenses on behalf of J. Michael Moore or various entities which he 
controls amounting to approximately $16,000 and $160,000, respectively.  Mr. 
Moore is the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the 
Company.  Of these amounts, approximately $10,000 and $105,000 are related to 
the litigation defense associated with a lawsuit with Ditto Properties, Inc., 
in connection with the Company being named therein as garnishee. (See Part 1, 
Item 3, Legal Proceedings, in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended 
December 31, 1996.)  In addition, Mr. Moore and various entities that he 
controls owe the Company other uncollateralized advances amounting to 
approximately $30,000 and $25,000, respectively, at March 31, 1997 and 
December 31, 1996.  The balance of these uncollateralized receivables at 
March 31, 1997, of approximately $145,000 is reflected as receivables from 
related party in Stockholders' Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The 
balance of the uncollateralized receivables at December 31, 1996, of 
approximately $130,000 is reflected in notes receivable-related party and 
prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

5.  LONG-TERM DEBT

    On August 26, 1996, the Company entered into a $300,000 line of credit 
agreement for the purchase of fixed assets.  Interest is payable monthly at 
prime plus 2.5% and the fixed assets financed are pledged as collateral.  The 
line of credit of $182,000 at March 31, 1997, will convert into long-term 
debt upon $300,000 being advanced.  The long-term debt will have a five year 
term and bear interest monthly at prime plus 2.5%.

6.  CONTINGENCIES
 
    The Company was named as a garnishee in a lawsuit against the majority 
shareholder, which the Company believes is without merit. As the result of an 
Agreed Temporary Order dated October 24,1996, the Company was non-suited in 
this matter.  Additionally, the Company has been named in a lawsuit filed by 
two former employees claiming damages in excess of $29 million each for 
breach of contract and various other allegations.  Management believes these 
claims to be without merit.  (See Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings in the 
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.)

    The Company is involved in certain other litigation and disputes not 
previously noted.  Management believes claims are adequately provided for in 
accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Company's financial statements 
at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996. Management believes that these 
matters are without merit and has concluded that the ultimate resolution of 
such will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial 
statements.

7.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" 
("Statement 128") which is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning 
January 1, 1997.  Statement 128 specifies the computation, presentation and 
disclosure requirements for earnings per share ("EPS").  Some of the changes 
made to current EPS standards include:  (i) eliminating the presentation of 
primary EPS and replacing it with basic EPS, with the principal difference 
being that common stock equivalents are not considered in computing basic 
EPS, (ii) eliminating the modified treasury stock method and the three 
percent materiality provision, and (iii) revising the contingent share 
provision and the supplemental EPS data requirements.  Statement 128 also 
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income 
statement, as well as a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used 
in the two computations of EPS.  Basic EPS is defined by Statement 128 as net 
income

from continuing operations divided by the average number of common shares 
outstanding without the consideration of common stock equivalents which may 
be dilutive to EPS.  The Company's current methodology for computing its 
fully diluted EPS will not change in future periods as a result of its 
adoption of Statement 128.  Implementation of Statement 128 is not expected 
to have a material effect on the Company's EPS; however, the impact has not 
yet been determined by management. 

 

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF    
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 
1996

     Net service revenues increased approximately $1.1 million or 17.1% to 
$7.3 million in the first quarter of 1997, compared to $6.2 million for the 
comparable 1996 quarter.  First quarter 1997 net service revenues were 
reduced by approximately $350,000 for a provision taken by the Company for 
losses for applicants who accepted employment but did not start work or did 
not remain in employment for the guaranteed period compared to $112,000 in 
1996, which included an $81,000 credit for a change in estimates of the 
December 1995 allowance.  In spite of this provision, permanent placement 
revenues increased approximately $903,000 or 32.5% to $3.7 million for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1997, compared to $2.8 million for the comparable 
1996 quarter.  Specialty service revenues increased approximately $318,000 or 
20.4% to $1.9 million for the first quarter of 1997, compared to $1.6 million 
for the comparable 1996 quarter.  The increases in permanent placement and 
specialty services were primarily attributable to the Company's continued 
focus on high-end niche employment markets, such as the information 
technology and engineering/technical disciplines.  New offices opened since 
the end of the first quarter in 1996 also contributed $170,000 to revenues 
during the first quarter of 1997.  Contract placement revenues decreased 
approximately $157,000 or 8.3% to $1.7 million in the first quarter of 1997, 
compared to $1.9 million for the comparable 1996 quarter.  Contract placement 
revenues declined slightly as a result of a lower number of people on job 
assignments than were anticipated for the first quarter of 1997.  The 
decrease in personnel on assignment was primarily attributable to certain 
contracts coming to an end, the Company not replacing these contracts until 
late in the quarter, and certain personnel being converted to permanent 
positions.  In addition, due to unusually high recruiter turnover at the end 
of 1996, it took management longer to train new recruiters to assist in 
finding qualified applicants for its job orders during the first quarter of 
1997.  

     Gross margin increased approximately $38,000 or 2.2 % to $1.7 million in 
the first quarter of 1997. Gross margin as a percentage of net service 
revenues declined to 23.9% in the first quarter of 1997 compared to 27.4% in 
the comparable period in 1996.  The decrease in percentage was primarily the 
result of an increase in the provision for uncollectible accounts of 
approximately $204,000 for the first quarter of 1997, compared to $5,000 for 
the comparable 1996 quarter.  This increase was primarily the result of a 
$56,000 reduction in the allowance during the first quarter of 1996, 
resulting from a change in estimate of the December 31, 1995 allowance, and 
an increase in the provision for uncollectible accounts receivable during the 
first quarter of 1997 to increase the allowance for bad debt due to an 
increase in non-performing accounts aging beyond 75 days at March 31, 1997.  
Subsequent to March 31, 1997, approximately $48,000 has been collected on 
these accounts.  As discussed above, contract placement revenues were down as 
a result of the above mentioned lower number of personnel on assignment.  As 
the result of lower contract placement revenues to cover certain field 
payroll and related costs, contract placement gross margins were lower than 
anticipated during the first quarter of 1997.  The above mentioned increase 
in the provision for uncollectible accounts receivable and the decrease in 
contract margins for the first quarter of 1997, resulted in an approximately 
3.5% decrease in gross margins in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the 
first quarter of 1996.  

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 
$322,000 or 26.3% to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 1997 compared to 
$1.2 million in the comparable quarter in 1996.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses as a percentage of net service revenues increased to 
21.2% in the first quarter of 1997 from 19.7% in the comparable quarter in 
1996.  The dollar increase was primarily the result of increased marketing 
and recruiting expenses for the Company's back office to support the growth 
in sales and litigation expenses. Included in the increase in selling, 
general and administrative expenses were increases in selling expenses of 
approximately $150,000, general and administrative expenses of approximately 
$44,000 and litigation expenses of approximately $128,000 for the first 
quarter of 1997 compared to the comparable quarter in 1996.  (See Part 1. 
Item 3. Legal Proceedings, in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended 
December 31, 1996.)  During the first quarter of 1997, the Company also 



lowered its provision for estimated outstanding medical insurance claims 
associated with its self-insured medical insurance program, which reduced 
general and administrative expenses by $50,000.

     Other expenses declined approximately $44,000 to $49,000 in the first 
quarter of 1997 compared to approximately $93,000 in the comparable quarter 
in 1996.  The decrease in expenses was the result of a decrease in the loss 
from joint venture operations and the collection of a receivable previously 
written off associated with a prior year sale of assets.

     The income tax benefit was approximately $43,000 for the first quarter 
of 1997, compared to an income tax expense of approximately $50,000 for the 
first quarter of 1996.  This decrease of approximately $93,000 resulted 
primarily from a first quarter 1997 credit of approximately $68,000 relating 
to an estimated prior year provision taken by the Company for state income 
tax expense.

     The extraordinary item-gain on debt restructuring, net of income taxes, 
of approximately $43,000 during the first quarter of 1997 resulted from the 
Company settling certain prior year delinquent accounts payable on a 
discounted basis.  

     As a result of the above factors, net income decreased approximately 
$104,000 or 30.8% to approximately $234,000 in the first quarter of 1997 as 
compared to $338,000 in 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Working capital was approximately $14,000 at March 31, 1997, compared to 
working capital of approximately $361,000 at December 31, 1996.  The decrease 
in working capital of approximately $347,000 during the first quarter of 1997 
was primarily due to an increase in the Company's current maturities of 
long-term debt associated with borrowing on an equipment line of credit for 
the purchase of computer equipment and other fixed assets of $182,000 during 
the first quarter of 1997, a reclassification made as of March 31, 1997, of 
receivables from a related party of approximately $155,000 to stockholders' 
equity from current assets (notes receivable-related party and prepaid 
expenses and other current assets) at December 31, 1996. 

     Cash flow provided by operating activities of approximately $146,000 
resulted primarily from the profitable operations of the Company during the 
first quarter of 1997.  The Company made capital expenditures of 
approximately $392,000 in the first quarter of 1997, primarily to improve its 
computer systems, data base operations, and back office operations.  In 
addition, the Company borrowed approximately $182,000 on a line of credit to 
purchase computer equipment to support its back office operations, and 
increased its factored accounts receivable borrowings by $125,000 to fund its 
operations during the first quarter of 1997.

     The Company is continually evaluating various financing strategies to be 
utilized in expanding its business and to fund future growth or acquisitions. 
 Management of the Company anticipates that the cash flow from operations 
will provide adequate liquidity to fund its operations for the foreseeable 
future.

     Inflation has not had a significant effect on the Company's operating 
results.
