                    ACCUSTAFF INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have
     been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations
     of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, certain
     information and footnote disclosures usually found in financial statements
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
     been condensed or omitted.  The financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes
     included in the Company's Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and
     Exchange Commission on March 27, 1996.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
     (including normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of
     management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position and
     results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of
     operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the
     results of operations for a full fiscal year.

     All share and per share data have been restated to reflect the Company's
     stock splits in the form of a 100% stock dividend and a 200% stock dividend
     which were effective November 27, 1995 and March 27, 1996, respectively.
     In addition, the Company completed the acquisitions of The McKinley Group,
     Inc. and an affiliated company ("McKinley") on June 19, 1996 and PTA
     International ("Perma Temps") on January 2, 1996, each of which was
     accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Both McKinley and Perma Temps
     were treated as S-corporations for federal income tax purposes prior to
     their acquisition and accordingly were not subject to income tax at the
     corporate level.  Therefore, all prior period financial statements
     presented have been restated as if the acquisitions had taken place at the
     beginning of such periods and each was treated as a C-corporation for
     federal income tax purposes.

2.   AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER.

     On August 26, 1996, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
     Merger (the "Agreement") with Sunrise Merger Corporation, a wholly owned
     subsidiary of the Company and Career Horizons, Inc. ("Career") pursuant to
     which the Company will acquire Career through the merger of Career and
     Sunrise Merger Corporation.  The companies have received notice from the
     Federal Trade Commission of early termination of the waiting period under
     the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act.  The Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus relating
     to the Agreement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
     Commission on October 7, 1996, and proxy materials were mailed to
     shareholders of both companies on October 8, 1996, in advance of the
     companies' special meetings of stockholders which will each be held on
     November 14, 1996.  The transaction is currently expected to close the same
     day.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statement of
     operations as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, appear
     below.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the
     nine months ended September 30, 1996 give effect to (i) the acquisition of
     Career applying the pooling of interests method of accounting and (ii) all
     other acquisitions completed by AccuStaff and Career between January 1,
     1996, and September 16, 1996, as if each had been completed on January 1,
     1996. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of September 20,
     1996, presents the combined financial position of AccuStaff and Career as
     if the Merger were consummated as of September 30, 1996. The unaudited pro
     forma condensed balance sheet reflects (i) the Merger with Career applying
     the pooling of interests method of accounting, (ii) certain adjustments
     that are directly attributable to the Merger, including estimated non-
     recurring acquisition costs of $15.0 million and estimated non-recurring
     restructuring costs of $10.0 million,and (iii) all other acquisitions
     completed by AccuStaff and Career through September 16, 1996. In accordance
     with Securities and Exchange Commission Rules, the estimated non-recurring
     acquisition costs of $15.0 million and estimated non-recurring corporate
     restructuring costs related to the Merger of $10.0 million have not been
     included in the pro forma condensed statement of operations included
     herein.

    Pro Forma Adjustments
    ---------------------

    (a) This adjustment reflects the accrual of non-recurring acquisition and
        corporate restructuring costs related to the Merger and the related
        reduction of retained earnings.

    (b) This adjustment reflects the reclassification of stockholders' equity 
        required under the pooling of interests method of accounting.

    (c) This adjustment reflects the reclassification of the non-current 
        deferred tax asset of AccuStaff.

    (d) This adjustment primarily reflects the contractual reduction in officer
        compensation relating to the AccuStaff and Career Acquisitions as the
        result of negotiated employment agreements, which provides for
        substantially the same management duties or responsibilities, offset by
        increases in officers incentive compensation per employment agreements
        of AccuStaff Incorporated.

    (e) This adjustment reflects the increase in amortization expense related to
        the goodwill recorded under the purchase method of accounting for the
        AccuStaff and Career Acquisitions for the nine months ended September
        30, 1996.

    (f) This adjustment reflects the increase in interest expense for cash
        required to be borrowed at an interest rate of 6.5% and for the
        additional bank debt and notes payable at interest rates ranging from
        6.5% to 8% related to the purchase of the AccuStaff Acquisitions.

    (g) This adjustment reflects the increase to income tax expense based on the
        pro forma adjustments to income before provision for income taxes based
        on the Company's effective tax rate of approximately 40%.

    (h) The provision for income taxes includes the provision which was recorded
        on a pro forma basis for all companies acquired at the Company's
        effective tax rate of 40%.


    Calculation of Earnings Per Share
    ---------------------------------

    Historical earnings per share of AccuStaff is presented after giving effect
    to AccuStaff's November 1995 2-for-1 stock split and February 1996 3-for-1
    stock split. The pro forma earnings per share is calculated on the basis of
    the weighted average number of shares and common share equivalents of
    AccuStaff, after giving effect to the splits, and the issuance of shares to
    consummate the Merger, calculated by multiplying the weighted average
    shares outstanding for Career by an assumed 1.53 conversion ratio.

3.   INVESTMENTS.

     Investment in Payroll Transfers, Inc.  On August 8, 1996,  the Company
     established a strategic operating relationship with Payroll Transfers,
     Inc., ("PTI") a Tampa, Florida based professional employer organization.
     As part of this strategic relationship, the Company has agreed for a period
     of eight years not to enter into any contract or understanding involving
     the use of leased employees without first offering such business
     opportunity to PTI.  Likewise, PTI has agreed for a period of eight years
     not to enter into any contract or understanding involving the use of
     services of temporary employees without first offering such business
     opportunity to the Company.  In connection with entering into the
     relationship, the Company invested in PTI in the form of an 8% Convertible
     Subordinated Note (the "Note") from PTI which is convertible into PTI
     common stock representing approximately 9.9% of PTI's outstanding common
     stock.  The Company also acquired an Option (the "Option") to purchase an
     additional amount of PTI common stock equal to approximately 10% of the
     outstanding shares of PTI after conversion of  the Note and issuance of
     the stock under the Option.


4.   ACQUISITIONS.

     The Company completed seven acquisitions in the three months ended
     September 30, 1996.  In July  1996, the Company acquired the operating
     assets and business operations of Alta Technical Services, Inc., In-House
     Counsel, Inc. and TRAK Services, Inc. and affiliated companies.  In August
     1996, the Company acquired the stock of Perspective Technology Corporation,
     Datacorp Business Systems, Inc. and Staffware, Inc.  In addition, in
     September 1996, the Company acquired the operating assets and business
     operations of North American Consulting Services, Inc.

     The acquisition of Staffware has been accounted for under the pooling of
     interests method of accounting while the other acquisitions completed
     during the three months ended September 30, 1996 have been accounted for
     under the purchase method of accounting. The aggregate purchase price of
     the acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting was
     $41.1 million, which was comprised of $34.0 million in cash, aggregate
     notes payable to certain former shareholders acquired companies f $5.1
     million, and common stock with a fair market value of $2.0 million. In
     addition, certain former shareholders of the acquired companies are
     eligible to receive contingent consideration upon attainment of certain
     earnings targets. For acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method
     of accounting, the excess of the purchase price (including any contingent
     consideration paid) over the fair value of the tangible assets (goodwill)
     is being amortized on a straight line basis over periods ranging from 15 to
     30 years.

                                       9

 
     The pro forma results of operations for the nine months ended September 30,
     1996 and October 1, 1995 listed below reflect purchase accounting
     adjustments and pro forma adjustments, including reduction of officers'
     compensation as the result of negotiated employment agreements and
     calculation of a tax provision for subsidiaries which were formally treated
     as S-corporations for federal income tax purposes, assuming the
     acquisitions which occurred during the three months ended September 30,
     1996 had occurred at the beginning of the nine month periods ended
     September 30, 1996 and October 1, 1995.  These pro forma amounts are not
     necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if the
     acquisitions had been in effect for the entire period presented.  In
     addition, they are not intended to be projections of future results and do
     not reflect any synergies that might be achieved from combined operations.

     year from the period ending on the Sunday closest to December 31 of each
     year to a calendar year.

6.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS.

Acquisitions Subsequent to September 30, 1996

     In October 1996, the Company acquired the assets and business operations of
     Contracted Services Group, Inc. d/b/a/ The Blackstone Group and the stock

     1996 was $36.4 million, which was comprised of cash in the amount of $32.4
     million and notes payable to certain former shareholders aggregating $4.0
     million. In addition, certain shareholders are eligible to receive

     acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, the
     excess of the purchase price (including any contingent consideration paid)
     over the fair value of the tangible assets (goodwill) is being amortized on
     a straight line basis over 30 years.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED 
OCTOBER 1, 1995.

Revenues.  Revenues increased $134.7 million, or 160.2%, to $218.8 million in
the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $84.1 million in the three months
ended October 1, 1995.  The increase was attributable by division to:
Professional Services, $93.5 million, or an increase of 649.4%; Commercial,
$38.0 million, or an increase of 87.8%; and Telecommunications, $3.2 million, or
an increase of 12.0%.  Of the increase in the Professional Services division,
$85.9 million was attributable to acquisitions in the information technology and
technical service lines while the remaining $7.6 million was attributable to

significant  acquisitions: Excel Temporary Services, Inc. ("Excel"), $11.4
million;  HR Management Services, Inc. ("HR Management"), $5.8 million; and
TempsAmerica, $12.1   million.  The remaining $8.7 million was attributable to
internal growth and less significant acquisitions.  The increase in the
Telecommunications division was due to internal growth.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased $32.3 million, or 195.4%, to $48.9 million
in the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $16.6 million in the three
months ended October 1, 1995.  The overall gross profit as a percentage of sales
increased  from 19.7% to 22.4%, due to the increase in the mix of revenue
contributed by the Professional Services division which produces a higher gross
profit.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales remained constant  in the
Commercial division at 21.7%, while decreasing by 480 basis points to 26.3% in
the Professional Services division, due primarily to the acquisition of certain
technical service companies which generate lower margins compared to the types
of services which were provided by the Company's Professional Services division
in the three months ended October 31, 1995.  Gross profit as a percentage of
sales in the Telecommunications division decreased by 40 basis points to 9.8%.

revenues increased to 14.1% in the three months ended September 30, 1996 from
13.3% in the three months ended October 1, 1995.  The increase is attributable
to the increase in depreciation and amortization expense and an increase in the
mix of professional services being provided by the Company in comparison to
Commercial division and Telecommunications division services.  Higher operating
expenses are required to operate the Professional Services division compared to
the Commercial and Telecommunications divisions

Income from Operations.   Income from operations increased $12.6 million, or
234.9%, to $18.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 1996, from $5.4

sales increased  from 18.2% to 21.5%, due to the increase in the revenue from
the Professional Services division which produces a higher gross profit. Gross
profit as a percentage of sales increased by 140 basis points to 21.4% in the
Commercial division, due to an overall increase in the division's gross profit
including existing and acquired companies, while decreasing by 510 basis points
to 25.2% in the Professional Services division, due primarily to the
acquisitions of certain technical service companies which generate lower margins

                                       12

 
compared to the types of services which were provided by the Company's

revenues increased to 14.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from
12.6% in the nine months ended October 1, 1995.  The increase is attributable to
the increase in depreciation and amortization expense and an increase in the mix
of professional services being provided by the Company in comparison to
Commercial division and Telecommunication division services.  Higher operating
expenses are required to operate the Professional Services division compared to
the Commercial and Telecommunications divisions

Income from Operations.   Income from operations increased $27.9 million, or
225.7%, to $40.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1996, from $12.4
million in the nine months ended October 1, 1995.  Income from operations as a

Interest Income.  Interest income was $2.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to $364,000 for the nine months ended October 1,
1995, due to the interest income obtained from the proceeds of the Company's
April 1996 public offering of common stock.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense was $2.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to  $405,000 for the nine months ended October 1,
1995.  The increase is attributable to the utilization of the Company's credit
facility to fund  acquisitions completed in 1996 prior to the Company's April
1996 public common stock offering of 1996.

Income Taxes.  The Company's effective tax rate was 41.1% in the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 compared to 38.7% in the nine months ended October 1,
1995. The increase was due primarily to non-tax deductible acquisition expenses
of $2.8 million related to the McKinley acquisition, which were recognized in
the second quarter of 1996.

increased $14.8 million, or 196.1%, to $22.4 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, from $7.6 million in the nine months ended October 1, 1995.
Pro forma net income as a percentage of revenues, increased to 4.0% in the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 from 3.4% in the nine months ended October 1,
1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of funds are from operations, proceeds of Common
Stock offerings and borrowings under its $150 million revolving credit facility.
The Company's principal uses of cash are to fund acquisitions, working capital
and capital expenditures.  The Company generally pays its temporary employees
weekly for their services while receiving payments from customers 35 to 60 days
from the date of invoice.  As new offices are established or acquired, or as
existing offices expand, there will be increasing requirements for cash
resources to fund current operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company experienced a large
increase in accounts receivable which was the primary cause for the decrease in
the Company's net cash provided by operating activities.  The increase in
accounts receivable was primarily due to several acquisitions in which the
Company purchased the business operations and certain assets of the acquired
companies, excluding accounts receivable.  Therefore, the Company must finance
the acquired companies' initial accounts receivable balances causing a large
increase in accounts receivable.  The Company may continue to experience these
temporary fluctuations if any similarly structured acquisitions are completed in
the future. The Company will use either its credit facility or other cash on
hand to fund these temporary operational cash flow needs.

During April 1996, the Company completed an offering of 11.79 million shares of
common stock from which the Company received net proceeds of approximately
$304.7 million.  The net proceeds have been used, in part, to repay  $92.8
million in outstanding indebtedness under the Company's revolving credit
facility, while an additional $81.5 was used to fund acquisitions and for other
general corporate purposes through September 30, 1996.  As of September 30,
1996, the Company had $130.4 million in cash and cash equivalents which are
available for other general corporate purposes, including possible acquisitions.

The Company is obligated under various acquisition agreements to make earn-out
payments to former stockholders of acquired companies over the next five years.
The Company cannot currently estimate the total amount of these payments;
however, the Company anticipates that the cash generated by the operations of
the acquired companies will provide a substantial part of the capital required
to fund the earn-out payments.

The Company anticipates that improvements to its management information and
operating systems will require capital expenditures during the next twelve
months of approximately $3.4 million.  The Company anticipates recurring capital
expenditures in future years to be approximately $1.5 million per year.

The Company believes that funds provided by operations, available borrowings
under the credit facility and current amounts of cash will be sufficient to meet

                                       14

 
its presently anticipated needs for working capital expenditures and
acquisitions for at least the next 12 months.

INDEBTEDNESS OF THE COMPANY

On May 2, 1996, the Company's revolving credit facility was  amended and
restated to increase the available line from $100 million to $150 million in
connection with the syndication of the facility.  The facility was syndicated to
a group of 13 banks, with NationsBank, N.A. as agent.  The facility has a term
of five years expiring February 1, 2001.  Outstanding amounts under the facility
bear interest at floating rates.  The facility contains certain affirmative and
negative covenants relating to the Company's operations, including a provision
requiring approval by the lenders holding not less than two-thirds of the credit
exposure under the facility for any business acquisitions if the cost of the
acquisition exceeds the lesser of $20 million or 10% of the Company's
consolidated stockholders' equity.  As of September 30, 1996, the Company had no
outstanding borrowings under the facility.

The Company has certain notes payable to shareholders of acquired companies.
The notes payable bear interest at rates ranging from 5% to 8% and have
repayment terms from June 1996 to March 1999.  As of September 30, 1996, the
Company owed approximately $19.5 million in such acquisition indebtedness.

The company has outstanding $1.0 million of 6% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures outstanding which are convertible into Common Stock at $1.38 per
share.  The debentures mature in January 1997 and are not redeemable.

INFLATION

The effects of inflation on the Company's operations were not significant during
the periods presented in the financial statements.  Generally, throughout the
periods discussed above, the increases in revenue have resulted primarily from
higher volumes, rather than price increases.

OTHER MATTERS

In 1996, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."  This standard establishes a fair value method of accounting for
stock-based compensation plans, either through recognition or disclosure.  The
Company intends to adopt this standard by disclosing the pro forma net income
and earnings per share amounts assuming the fair value method was adopted on
January 1, 1995.  The adoption of this standard will not impact results of
operations, financial positions or cash flow.
