NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------
1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 1997, the results of
its operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
and changes in its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. Operating results
for the six and three months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of operating results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1997. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996.
2. Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents assuming the exercise
of stock options, are included in the calculation of net income per share
when there is a dilutive effect.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on December
31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method
currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior
periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per
share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact
is expected to result in an increase in primary earnings per share for the
six and three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 of $.01 per share. The
impact of Statement No. 128 on the calculation of fully diluted earnings
per share for these quarters is not expected to be material.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.
REVENUES
Revenues increased by approximately $2,548,000 or 27%. The increase in the
quarter ended June 30, 1997 is primarily due to the increase in temporary
staffing and placement fee revenues of 28% and 33%, respectively as compared to
the corresponding period in 1996.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses increased approximately 26% in the quarter ended June 30,
1997 as compared to the corresponding period in 1996. Compensation and other
benefits increased approximately 27% mainly due to increased compensation and
compensation related costs associated with the increase in revenues. Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased 21% due to additions to the sales
force, commissions related to increased revenues, advertising, professional fees
and other costs related to maintaining the Company's branch operations.
Net interest expense decreased during 1997 due mainly to a lack of borrowings
under the Company's credit facility when compared to 1996.
The effective tax rate utilized was 45% for the three months ended June 30, 1997
as compared to 40% in the corresponding period in 1996. The lower prior year
rate was attributable to an income tax benefit resulting from a reduction in the
valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets that became realizable.
OPERATING RESULTS
Net income for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 was approximately
$343,000 or $.10 per common share as compared to net income of approximately
$201,000 or $.06 per common share in the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The
results reflect increased revenues partially being offset by the increase in
operating expenses.
10
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.
REVENUES
Revenues increased by approximately $4,197,000 or 23%. The increase for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 is primarily due to the increase in temporary
staffing and placement fee revenues of 22% and 26% respectively as compared to
the corresponding period in 1996.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses increased approximately 22% in the six months ended June 30,
1997 as compared to the corresponding period in 1996. Compensation and other
benefits increased approximately 21% mainly due to increased compensation and
compensation related costs associated with the increase in revenues. Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased 24% due to additions to the sales
force, commissions and related to increased revenues, advertising, professional
fees and other costs related to maintaining the Company's branch operations.
Net interest expense decreased during 1997 due mainly to lack of borrowings
under the Company's credit facility when compared to 1996.
The effective tax rate utilized was 45% for the six months ended June 30, 1997
as compared to 37% in the corresponding period in 1996. The lower prior year
rate was attributable to an income tax benefit as a result of a reduction in the
valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets that became realizable.
OPERATING RESULTS
Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 was approximately
$569,000 or $.17 per common share as compared to net income of approximately
$367,000 or $.11 per common share in the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The
results reflect increased revenues partially being offset by the increase in
operating expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital at June 30, 1997 was approximately $3,701,000 as compared to
$3,248,000 at December 31, 1996. Cash used in operating activities during the
six months ended June 30, 1997 was $453,000 primarily resulting from a cash
payment of income taxes and to support the growth in revenues as evidenced by an
increase in accounts receivable. The Company has no material commitments for
capital expenditures during 1997. Cash used in investing activities, purchase
of fixed assets and financing activities, primarily repayment of capital lease
obligations,
11
amounted to $149,000 and $29,000, respectively. Management believes that the
Company's $6,000,000 credit facility, working capital and internally generated
funds are sufficient to support current operations and any currently foreseeable
increase in activity.
INFLATION
To date, the impact of inflation and changing prices on the Company's business
has been minimal. The Company charges its customers percentages of the salaries
and wages of permanent and temporary employees, which causes its fee income to
increase proportionately as salary and wages increase.
