      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         APRIL 30, 1996
                           (unaudited)

1.    Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying financial statements have been
      prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and
      regulations of the Securities and Exchange
      Commission (SEC).  This Report on Form 10-Q should
      be read in conjunction with the Company's financial
      statements and notes thereto for the year ended
      October 31, 1995, included in the Company's 1995
      Annual Report to Shareholders.  Certain information
      and footnote disclosures that are normally included
      in financial statements prepared in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles have been
      condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and
      regulations.  The information reflects all normal
      and recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of
      management, are necessary for a fair presentation
      of the financial position of the Company and its
      results of operations for the interim periods set
      forth herein.  The results for the three months and
      six months ended April 30, 1996, are not
      necessarily indicative of the results to be
      expected for the full year.  The financial
      statements include the consolidated financial
      position, operations and cash flows for Personnel 
      Management, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
      hereafter referred as "the Company".  The Company
      intends to file concurrently with this report an
      amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB/A
      for the purpose of amending and restating its
      financial statements for the three and six month
      periods ended April 30, 1995.  The Company has
      previously reported in its 1995 Annual Report to
      Shareholders restated results of operations for
      each of its 1995 quarterly periods.  The results
      for the three and six month periods ended April 30,
      1995 in this report are restated on the basis of
      the results that will be included in the amendment
      on Form 10-QSB/A.

2.    Per Share Disclosures

      Per share amounts are based on the weighted average
      number of common shares outstanding during the
      respective periods (retroactively adjusted to give
      effect to subsequent stock dividends).  Stock
      options and warrants are considered common stock

8

      equivalents and are included in the computation of
      the number of outstanding shares using the treasury
      stock method, unless anti-dilutive.

3.    Shareholders' Equity

      On November 1, 1995, options to purchase 29,069
      shares with an exercise price of $7.73 per share
      were exercised.  Proceeds of $224,625 were received
      by the Company.

      On April 15, 1996, the Company extended a loan to
      an officer of the Company in the amount of $123,352
      for the purpose of paying income taxes in
      connection with the officer's December 29, 1994
      exercise of non-qualified stock options to purchase
      49,486 shares of common stock of the Company.  The
      loan bears interest at the prime rate which was
      8.5% as of the date of the loan, and is secured by
      24,670 shares of common stock of the Company.  The
      loan is reflected as a deduction from common stock
      and interest is credited to income as it accrues.

4.    Acquisitions

      The Company acquired the assets of a temporary
      services firm in Atlanta, Georgia, with one office
      and annual revenues of approximately $2,000,000 on
      November 13, 1995.  The business was acquired for
      approximately $600,000, plus 42% of future income 
      before taxes and other adjustments derived from the
      areas served by the business through October 2000. 
      The business operations acquired in Georgia provide
      mostly temporary clerical services.

      On February 5, 1996, the Company acquired the
      assets of a temporary services firm in northeastern
      Florida with annual revenues of approximately
      $4,700,000.  The business was acquired for
      approximately $250,000, plus 71% of future income
      before taxes and other adjustments derived from one
      significant customer served by the business through
      January 2001.  The business in northeastern Florida
      provides temporary clerical and warehousing
      services to its customers.

1995 period, to $16,388,262.  The increase was a result
of same office sales growth in the Tampa, Florida area,
and the acquisition of temporary services companies in
Atlanta, Georgia during November 1995, and Jacksonville,
Florida during February 1996.  Revenues from the
Company's Indiana customer base for the second quarter,
which accounted for approximately 69% of consolidated
revenues, decreased 13.7% compared to the previous year
period.  This decrease was due primarily to reduced
demand and competitive pressures.  Revenues remained
constant for the Company's Indiana customer base between
the first and second quarters of 1996.

For the six months ended April 30, 1996, revenues
decreased $258,977 or 0.8% compared to the 1995 period,
to $30,418,378.  This decrease was due to a 14.7%
decrease in revenues from the Company's Indiana customer
base compared to the prior year period.  Revenues from
the Company's southeastern U.S. operations, which
accounted for approximately 26% of consolidated revenues
for the six month period, almost entirely offset the
decrease in the Indiana revenues.

COST OF SERVICES.  Cost of services for the three months
ended April 30, 1996 increased $628,820 or 5.1% compared
to the 1995 period, to $12,981,063.  This increase was a
result of increased volume of services to clients.  Cost
of services as a percentage of revenues for the quarter
was 79.2% compared to 80.3% in the prior year period. 
This improvement was a result of favorable pricing of
temporary help services and lower workers' compensation
costs.

Cost of services for the six months ended April 30, 1996
decreased $559,533 or 2.3% compared to the 1995 period,
to $24,209,657.  As a percentage of revenues, cost of
services improved from 80.7% in 1995 to 79.6% in 1996.

10

SELLING EXPENSES.  Selling expenses for the three and six
months ended April 30, 1996 increased 28.9% and 10.4%,
respectively, compared to the 1995 periods as a result of
the Company's Atlanta, Georgia and Jacksonville, Florida
operations.  These operations were acquired by the
Company in the current fiscal year.  Selling expenses as
a percentage of revenues increased slightly from 0.7% in
the prior year quarter to 0.8% 
in the current year quarter.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and
administrative expenses for the three months ended April
30, 1996 increased $257,044 or 10.9% compared to the 1995
period, to $2,625,215.  This increase was due entirely to
the G&A expenses associated with the businesses purchased
by the Company in the current fiscal year.  G&A expenses
related to the Indiana and Tampa operations decreased
$8,500.  The results of the Company's ongoing expense
reduction program is reflected in the decreased G&A
expenses for the Indiana and Tampa operations but is
partially offset by higher professional fees and bad debt
expense.  Expenses related to the expense reduction
program decreased approximately $225,000 for the quarter
compared to the prior year period.  Professional fees and
bad debt expenses were higher compared to the prior year
quarter by approximately $25,000 and $100,000,
respectively.  Additional professional fees were incurred
for nonrecurring services related to the year-end
financial disclosures.  Credit policies and procedures
have been strengthened to address the credit problems
experienced by the Company in the current fiscal year. 
As a percentage of revenues, G&A expenses for the quarter
increased from 15.5% in the 1995 fiscal year to 16.1% in
the current fiscal year.

G&A expenses for the six months ended April 30, 1996
increased $166,633 or 3.4% compared to the prior year
period due entirely to the expenses associated with the
new businesses acquired by the Company in the current
fiscal year.  G&A expenses for the Indiana and Tampa
operations decreased approximately $153,000 primarily as
a result of the ongoing expense reduction program. 
Partially offsetting this decrease in G&A expenses for
the Indiana and Tampa operations were higher professional
fees and bad debt expense of approximately $114,000 and
$157,000, respectively, compared to the prior year
period.  As a percentage of revenues, G&A expenses for
the six months increased from 15.9% in the 1995 fiscal
year to 16.6% in the current fiscal year.

AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL.  Goodwill represents the
unamortized cost in excess of fair value of net assets
acquired and is being amortized on a straight-line basis
over 20 years.  Goodwill amortization for the three and
six month periods ended April 30, 1996 increased 23.7%
and 21.3%, respectively, compared to the 1995 periods. 
These increases were a result of the amortization of
goodwill related to the two businesses acquired in the
current fiscal year and the amortization of payments of
additional purchase price to the prior owners of acquired
businesses under the earnout provisions of the
acquisition agreements.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET.  The decrease in interest expense,
net for the three and six months ended April 30, 1996
compared to the prior year periods is due to lower
interest rates on borrowings.

INCOME TAXES.  Income tax expense for the three and six
months ended April 30, 1996 increased 9.9% and 9.4%,
respectively, compared to the prior year period as a
result of the increases in net income before income
taxes.  The effective income tax rate was 44% in the
current fiscal year compared to 48% in the prior fiscal
year.


FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six
months ended April 30, 1996 was $1,197,125 which resulted
primarily from net income before depreciation and
amortization, and an increase in accounts payable
outstanding.

Net cash used by investing activities during the six
months ended April 30, 1996 was $1,282,624 due to the
acquisitions of Temporaries of Atlanta, Inc. in November
1995 and Progressive Personnel II, Inc. in February 1996,
and payments of additional purchase price to owners of 
previously acquired businesses under the earnout
provisions of the acquisition agreements.

Management believes that cash provided by operations,
augmented by borrowings for working capital purposes
under the bank credit facility, will be adequate to
satisfy the Company's operating cash requirements during
fiscal 1996.  Due to the relatively short maturity of the
Company's bank credit facility in February 1997, the
Company may consider seeking new debt or equity financing

12
during fiscal 1996 or prior to the maturity of the credit
facility in February 1997.  Since the bank credit
facility will mature within a twelve month period, the
amount outstanding as of April 30, 1996 has been
reclassified on the balance sheet from a noncurrent to a
current liability.  Depending on market conditions, the
performance of the Company and other factors, this new
financing may be public or private.  This information
concerning the possibility that the Company may seek
additional financing is a forward-looking statement, and
the Company has not engaged in any discussions with
investors, banks, or financial intermediaries looking
toward such a financing transaction.  Furthermore, there
is no assurance that such financing would be available to
the Company if sought, or that such financing, even if
available, would carry terms that shareholders of the
Company would find attractive.
