Prospective investors should carefully consider the matters set forth under "Risk Factors" herein. Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. was previously named Mega Force Staffing Services, Inc. In March 1997, the Company acquired The Hamilton-Ryker Company, LLC ("Hamilton-Ryker"), and in December 1997, it acquired CSR, Inc. ("CSR, Inc.") and adopted its current name. During 1998, Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. has acquired four additional staffing service companies. All references herein to the "Company" refer to Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. and, where appropriate, its subsidiaries and their respective operations. Industry information used in this Prospectus was obtained from industry publications that the Company believes to be reliable, but such information has not been independently verified. Unless indicated otherwise, all information contained in this Prospectus assumes that the Underwriters' over-allotment option will not be exercised. THE COMPANY Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. is a leading provider of diversified staffing, professional and consulting services to businesses, professional and service organizations, educational institutions and governmental agencies. The Company offers these services through over 130 branches located in 16 states. Since March 1997, the Company has acquired six additional staffing and professional service companies with 88 branches. The Company believes that a combination of internal growth and selective acquisitions will allow it to capitalize most effectively on opportunities in the large and rapidly growing staffing services industry. For the year ended December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company's pro forma revenues and operating income were $227.7 million and $61.3 million, and $10.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The Company primarily provides two types of staffing services: (i) commercial staffing services ("Commercial Staffing"), including vendor-on-premises ("VOP"), clerical, administrative and light industrial staffing services; and (ii) professional staffing services ("Professional Services"), including a comprehensive range of information technology ("IT"), accounting and finance staffing, placement and outplacement services. The Company's Commercial Staffing branches primarily serve small to mid-size cities, while its Professional Services branches primarily serve major metropolitan and national markets. For the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the three months ended March 31, 1998, Commercial Staffing generated approximately 82.0% and 80.3% of the Company's pro forma revenues and 71.7% and 69.1% of the Company's pro forma gross profits, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the three months ended March 31, 1998, Professional Services generated approximately 18.0% and 19.7% of the Company's pro forma revenues and 28.3% and 30.9% of the Company's pro forma gross profits, respectively. The Company has developed operating and growth strategies designed to emphasize high margin Professional Services while maintaining strong operating and financial controls. The key elements of the Company's operating strategy are: (i) maintain an entrepreneurial environment; (ii) continue disciplined financial management; (iii) integrate acquired companies quickly; (iv) maintain or establish leadership in existing geographic markets; and (v) deliver high value-added quality service. The key elements of the Company's growth strategy include: Increase Focus on Professional Services. The Company's strategy is to increase the percentage of total revenues and gross profits contributed by Professional Services by expanding its service offerings in the fields of IT staffing and consulting and accounting and finance staffing. The Company also intends to grow its pool of skilled professionals, hire additional sales consultants, target mid-size and large companies, leverage client relationships, open additional Professional Services branches and increase the pace of acquisitions of Professional Services companies in larger metropolitan markets. The Company believes that providing Professional Services to its clients offers attractive opportunities for growth in sales and profits. 3 5 Cross-Sell Service Offerings in Existing Markets and Expand Into New Markets. The Company continually identifies additional growth opportunities with existing and new clients as a result of the breadth of the Company's service offerings. The Company currently offers a complete range of IT, accounting and clerical staffing services in only a small number of its markets. As a result, the Company believes substantial opportunities exist to cross-sell service offerings, especially Professional Services, within its other markets. In addition, the Company continually evaluates potential expansion of existing services into new geographic areas. Focus on Commercial Staffing in Small to Mid-Size Cities. The Company provides Commercial Staffing primarily in small to mid-size cities with populations ranging from 10,000 to 250,000 and seeks to be the leading provider of Commercial Staffing in the markets in which it operates. The Company believes that it can achieve attractive margins in these markets and that in many cases it has a competitive marketing advantage over national providers because it has developed a strong local presence and has tailored its operations to meet the needs of local customers. Each of the Company's Commercial Staffing branches operates under established local brand names. The Company intends to continue building on the strong reputations of these local brand names in their markets while leveraging the sophisticated support services and low cost structures of a national provider. Increase Vendor-On-Premises Relationships. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had 20 VOP partnering relationships. Under these programs, the Company assumes administrative responsibility for coordinating some or all Commercial Staffing at a client's location or organization, including skills testing and training. The VOP relationships provide clients with dedicated on-site account management which can more effectively meet the client's changing staffing needs with high quality, timely and consistent service. The Company has expanded geographically by establishing new VOP sites to service existing clients and intends to establish additional sites for both existing and new clients as opportunities arise in the future. Expand through Acquisitions. The Company intends to acquire and integrate independent Professional Service and Commercial Staffing companies with strong management, profitable operating results and recognized local and regional presences. Since March 1997, the Company has acquired six companies with an aggregate of 88 branches and 1997 revenues of $160.7 million. Primarily, the Company intends to pursue strategic acquisitions in Professional Services that offer complementary services and expand the percentage of revenues generated by Professional Services and tuck-in acquisitions in Commercial Staffing that increase its penetration of existing markets. The Company has established a team of corporate officers responsible for identifying prospective acquisitions, performing due diligence, negotiating contracts and subsequently integrating the acquired companies. The Company is a Delaware corporation which was organized on December 31, 1996. The Company's executive offices are located at One Michiana Square, 100 East Wayne Street, Suite 100, South Bend, IN 46601, and its telephone number is (219) 233-8209. STAFFING SERVICES INDUSTRY OVERVIEW The staffing services industry has grown rapidly in recent years as companies have utilized supplemental employees to control personnel costs and to meet specialized or fluctuating personnel needs. According to Staffing Industry Report, a widely available industry newsletter, the U.S. market for temporary staffing services is estimated to have grown at a compound annual rate of approximately 17.3% from approximately $29.3 billion in 1992 to approximately $65.0 billion in 1997. Furthermore, according to Staffing Industry Report, revenues from information technology and technical staffing are estimated to have grown at a compound annual rate of 25.2% from approximately $5.1 billion in 1992 to approximately $15.7 billion in 1997. The Company believes the staffing services industry is highly fragmented with over 6,000 staffing companies and 2,500 professional/IT companies. Although the industry is experiencing increasing consolidation, in part because of client demand for comprehensive supplemental staffing solutions, the Company believes that there are numerous attractive acquisition targets. 4 6 THE OFFERING Common Stock offered by the Company.................. shares Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholders..... shares Common Stock to be Outstanding after the Offering(1)........................................ shares Use of proceeds by the Company.......................

(3) Pro forma information gives effect to the Completed Acquisitions and the consummation of the Offering described herein.

See "Capitalization." 6 8 RISK FACTORS Prospective purchasers of the Common Stock should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below, as well as the other information contained in this Prospectus. LIMITED COMBINED OPERATING HISTORY; INTEGRATION OF OPERATIONS The Company acquired Hamilton-Ryker in March 1997, CSR, Inc. in December 1997 and the other acquired companies in transactions that occurred from January 1998 to May 1998. The members of the Company's senior management have worked together and managed these entities as a combined business for only a short time. There can be no assurance that management will be able to oversee the Company and effectively implement the Company's operating or growth strategies or effectively manage the combined operations. The Company's historical financial results cover periods when the Company was not under common control or management and, therefore, may not be indicative of the Company's future financial or operating results. In addition, the Company's operating strategy includes the integration of all acquired companies, which requires resources, management time, training and the implementation of consistent management practices. If the Company is not able successfully to complete the integration of Hamilton-Ryker, CSR, Inc. and the other acquired companies, such failure could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." RISKS RELATED TO GROWTH STRATEGY The Company has experienced significant growth, primarily through acquisitions, internal growth and opening new branches. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to expand its market presence in its current locations or successfully enter new markets through acquisitions or the opening of new branches. The Company's ability to continue its growth and profitability will depend on a number of factors, including the availability of capital to fund acquisitions, existing and emerging competition, the ability to maintain sufficient profit margins despite pricing pressures and the strength of demand for temporary employees, consultants and professionals in the Company's markets. The Company must also manage costs in a changing regulatory environment, adapt its infrastructure and systems to accommodate growth and recruit and train additional qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that the Company's systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support its operation as the Company expands. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUISITIONS The Company intends to increase its revenues in part through the acquisition of additional providers of Professional Services and Commercial Staffing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition candidates (particularly professional/information technology ("IT") candidates), complete acquisitions at an acceptable price or integrate acquired businesses into its operations. Even if suitable acquisition candidates are identified, the Company may not be able to compete successfully with other companies in its industry that have adopted a strategy of growth through acquisition. Acquisitions also involve certain risks, including risks associated with the availability of acquisition financing, unanticipated problems, liabilities and contingencies, diversion of management attention, unanticipated costs associated with effecting or attempting to effect acquisitions and possible adverse effects on earnings resulting from increased goodwill amortization, increased interest costs, the issuance of additional securities and difficulties related to the integration of the acquired business. Once integrated, acquired companies may not achieve acceptable levels of revenue or profitability or otherwise perform as expected. The Company is unable to predict whether or when any prospective acquisition candidate will become available or the likelihood that any acquisition will be completed. The Company intends to finance future acquisitions by using cash and Common Stock for all or a portion of the consideration to be paid. In the event that the Common Stock does not maintain a sufficient market value, or potential acquisition candidates are unwilling to accept Common Stock as part of the consideration for their businesses, the Company may be required to utilize its cash resources, if available, in order to pursue additional acquisitions. Although the Company currently maintains a $75 million credit facility, if the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to pursue acquisitions, its growth could be 7 9 limited unless it is able to obtain additional capital through debt or equity financing. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Business -- Growth Strategy." RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OPENING NEW BRANCHES The Company intends to grow by opening new branches and, in certain circumstances, by expanding into new geographic areas. The Company anticipates that new branches initially may produce significant operating losses and will place demands on the Company's management and operational, administrative and financial resources. In addition, the Company's future performance and profitability will depend, in part, on its ability successfully to attract and retain qualified personnel to manage the growth and operations of the new branches. There can be no assurance that the Company's new branches will be profitable. The opening of additional branches, individually or in the aggregate, may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business -- Growth Strategy." DEPENDENCE ON AVAILABILITY OF QUALIFIED TEMPORARY PERSONNEL The Company depends on its ability to attract, train and retain personnel, including technical and professional personnel, who possess the skills and experience necessary to meet the staffing requirements of the Company's clients. Competition for individuals with proven skills in certain areas, particularly in IT, is intense. The Company places employees in several industries in which unemployment is relatively low thereby increasing competition for employees qualified for such placements. The Company must continually evaluate, train and upgrade its supply of available personnel to satisfy clients' needs. There can be no assurance that qualified personnel will continue to be available to the Company in sufficient numbers and on terms of employment acceptable to the Company. In addition, the Company's clients and other employers frequently hire the Company's temporary staff for permanent positions, thereby increasing the need to recruit and train qualified temporary personnel. The inability to attract and retain qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. See "Business -- Human Resources -- Employees." FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS; FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS AND SEASONALITY The Company's quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and will fluctuate in the future based on many factors. These factors include, among others, changes in the regulatory environment, gain or loss of a key client, failure to adequately integrate acquired companies, fluctuations in the general economy, increased competition, the opening of new branches, changes in operating expenses, expenses related to acquisitions and the potential adverse effect of acquisitions. It is possible that in the future, the Company's operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In such an event, the price of the Common Stock could be materially adversely affected. In view of the Company's recent significant growth, both internally and through acquisitions, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. The Company's quarterly operating results are affected primarily by the number of billing days in the quarter and the seasonality of its clients' businesses. Demand for services in Commercial Staffing has historically been lower from the year-end holidays through February of the following year, and has shown gradual improvement over the remainder of the year. Although less pronounced than in Commercial Staffing, the demand for Professional Services is typically lower during the first quarter. RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL The Company is highly dependent on its current management, including its Chief Executive Officer. The Company believes that its success will depend to a significant extent upon the efforts and abilities of the key executives of the Company. Furthermore, the Company will likely be dependent on the senior management of companies that may be acquired in the future. If any of these individuals does not continue in his/her position 8 10 with the Company, or if the Company is unable to attract and retain other skilled managers, the Company's business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. See "Management." RELIANCE ON INFORMATION SYSTEMS The Company's business depends upon its ability to store, retrieve, process and manage significant databases, and periodically to expand and upgrade its information processing capabilities. The Company's computer equipment and software systems are maintained at two locations and are backed-up on a daily basis. Interruption or loss of the Company's information processing capabilities through loss of stored data, breakdown or malfunction of computer equipment and software systems, telecommunications failure, conversion difficulties, or damage to the Company's headquarters and systems caused by fire, hurricane, lightning, electrical power outage, or other disruption could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. COMPETITION The staffing industry is intensely competitive and fragmented and has limited barriers to entry. The Company competes for employees and clients in national, regional and local markets with full-service and specialized temporary staffing services businesses. A significant number of the Company's competitors have greater marketing, financial and other resources and more established operations than the Company. Price competition in the staffing industry is intense, particularly for the provision of commercial personnel, and pricing pressures from competitors and clients are increasing. Many of the Company's clients have relationships with more than one staffing service company. However, in recent years, an increasing number of companies have consolidated their staffing services purchases and entered into exclusive contracts with a single temporary staffing company or a small number of temporary staffing companies. If current or potential clients enter into exclusive contracts with competitors of the Company, it will be difficult or impossible for the Company to obtain business from such clients. The Company expects that the level of competition will remain high in the future, which could limit the Company's ability to maintain or increase its market share or maintain or increase gross margins, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. See "Business -- Staffing Services Industry Overview" and "-- Competition." EFFECT OF FLUCTUATIONS IN THE GENERAL ECONOMY Demand for the Company's staffing services is significantly affected by the general level of economic activity and unemployment in the United States. When economic activity increases, temporary employees are often added before full-time employees are hired. However, as economic activity slows, many companies reduce their utilization of temporary employees prior to undertaking layoffs of full-time employees. In addition, the Company may experience more competitive pricing pressures during periods of economic downturn. Therefore, any economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." DEPENDENCE ON KEY CLIENTS Substantially all of the Company's contracts to perform services may be canceled or modified by the Company's clients at will without penalty. The Company's largest client accounted for approximately 3.0% of the Company's pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997. For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company's five largest clients accounted for approximately 9.9% of the Company's pro forma revenues. The loss of, or a material reduction in revenues from, one or more large clients could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. 9 11 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TRENDS Growth in the use of flexible staffing in the IT area in recent years has been driven largely by rapid technological advances. As the sophistication and complexity of business information systems increase, and as the recent corporate trend toward downsizing continues, businesses are increasingly turning to specialized, outside technical personnel to support their IT operations. The Company's success in the IT area depends in large part on its ability to keep pace with existing technology, predict new technological advancements and recruit and train qualified employees in response to these trends and in accordance with clients' needs. See "Business -- Services -- Professional Services." RISK OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS The Company's costs could increase if there are any material changes in applicable governmental regulations. Recent federal and state legislative proposals have included provisions extending health insurance benefits to employees not presently receiving such benefits. Due to the wide variety of national and state proposals currently under consideration, the impact of such proposals cannot be predicted. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to increase the fees charged to its clients in a timely manner and sufficient amount to cover increased costs related to any new benefits that may be extended to temporary employees. It is not possible to predict whether other legislation or regulations affecting the Company's operations will be proposed or enacted at the federal or state level. Such legislation, if enacted, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business -- Regulation." POTENTIAL LIABILITY; LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Providers of staffing services place employees in the workplaces of other businesses. An inherent risk of such activity includes possible claims of professional malpractice, errors and omissions, misuse of client proprietary or other confidential information, misappropriation of funds, discrimination and harassment, employment of illegal aliens, theft of client property, other criminal activity or torts and other claims. In addition, a small number of customers of the Company have required the Company to enter into indemnity agreements. Any substantial claim against the Company or an employee of the Company may result in negative publicity, injunctive relief or the payment by the Company of monetary damages or fines, or may have other material adverse effects upon the Company. Moreover, the Company could be held responsible for the actions at a workplace of persons not under the direct control of the Company. To reduce its exposure, the Company maintains insurance covering general liability, workers' compensation claims, errors and omissions and employee theft, but there can be no assurance that such insurance coverage will continue to be available at a reasonable cost for amounts adequate to cover any such liability. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is periodically threatened with or named as a defendant in various lawsuits, including discrimination, harassment and other similar claims, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE AND WORKERS' COMPENSATION COSTS The Company is required to pay unemployment insurance premiums and workers' compensation for its employees. The cost of unemployment insurance premiums may increase as a result of, among other things, increased levels of unemployment, the lengthening of periods for which unemployment benefits are available, changes in the Company's experience rating or changes in applicable laws. Although management believes its existing workers' compensation coverage amounts are adequate, there can be no assurance that the Company's actual workers' compensation claims will be within the coverage amounts. The Company may incur costs related to worker's compensation claims at a higher rate than expected due to such causes as greater than anticipated losses from known claims or an increase in the number and severity of new claims. In addition, the Company's workers' compensation insurance premiums may be subject to retroactive increases based upon audits of the Company's employee classification practices and other data provided to the insurance carrier. The Company has retained the services of an independent third-party administrator and an independent 10 12 actuary to assist the Company in establishing appropriate reserves for the uninsured portion of workers compensation claims. Although management believes its recorded reserve is adequate, there can be no assurance that the Company's actual future workers' compensation obligations will not exceed the amount of its workers' compensation reserve. See "Business -- Human Resources -- Risk Management and Workers' Compensation Program." CONTROL BY EXISTING MANAGEMENT AND STOCKHOLDERS After completion of the Offering, the Company's executive officers, directors and current stockholders will beneficially own approximately % of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. These persons acting together would likely be able to elect a sufficient number of directors to control the Board of Directors of the Company and to approve or disapprove any matter submitted to a vote of stockholders. See "Principal and Selling Stockholders." SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have shares of Common Stock outstanding. Of these shares, all of the shares sold in the Offering will be freely transferable without restriction or limitation under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), except any shares purchased by "affiliates" of the Company, as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The remaining shares constitute "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 and the resale of such shares is restricted for one year from the date they were acquired. The holders of such shares have certain rights to have shares registered in the future under the Securities Act pursuant to the terms of agreements between such holders and the Company. The Company and its executive officers, directors and principal shareholders have agreed not to offer or to sell any shares of Common Stock for a period of 180 days following the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC, except that the Company may issue shares of Common Stock in connection with acquisitions and pursuant to the exercise of stock options described in this Prospectus. On the date of this Prospectus, the Company had outstanding options to purchase 95,000 shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan. Concurrently with the completion of this Offering, the Company intends to grant options to employees to acquire 250,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company intends to register all of the 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's Stock Option Plan under the Securities Act for public resale. Sales of substantial amounts of shares of Common Stock in the public market after this Offering or the perception that such sales could occur may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale." NO PRIOR TRADING MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK; VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be sustained after this Offering or that the market price of the Common Stock will not fall below the offering price. The initial public offering price was determined through negotiations among the Company, the Selling Stockholders and representatives of the Underwriters based on several factors and may not be indicative of the market price of the Common Stock after this Offering. From time to time, there may be significant volatility in the market price for the Common Stock. Quarterly operating results of the Company or of other temporary staffing and service companies, extreme price and volume fluctuations in the stock market, changes in general conditions in the economy, analyst's earnings estimates, the financial markets or the staffing industry, natural disasters or other developments could cause the market price of the Common Stock to fluctuate substantially. See "Risk Factors -- Fluctuations in Operating Results; Fluctuations in Quarterly Results and Seasonality" "-- Effects of Fluctuations in the General Economy" and "Dividend Policy." ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, BYLAWS, DELAWARE LAW Upon completion of this Offering, the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate") and Bylaws will, and Delaware law does, contain provisions that could have the effect of 11 13 delaying, deferring or preventing an unsolicited change in control of the Company, which may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock or the ability of shareholders to participate in a transaction in which they might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over the then-current market price. Such provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in the management of the Company. These provisions will provide that all stockholder action must be taken at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, that only the Board of Directors may call special meetings of the stockholders and that the Board of Directors be divided into three classes to serve for staggered three-year terms. In addition, the Certificate will authorize the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock in one or more series ("Preferred Stock") without shareholder approval and on such terms as the Board of Directors may determine. Although no shares of Preferred Stock will be outstanding upon the closing of this Offering and the Company has no present plans to issue any shares of Preferred Stock, the rights of the holders of Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any Preferred Stock that may be issued in the future. In addition, the Company is subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Preferred Stock," "-- Anti-Takeover Provisions of Charter and Bylaws," and "-- Statutory Business Combinations Provision." DILUTION; NO DIVIDENDS Purchasers of Common Stock in this Offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value of $ per share of Common Stock and present stockholders will experience an increase in net tangible book value of $ per share of Common Stock. To the extent that currently outstanding options to purchase Common Stock are exercised, there will be further dilution. The Company does not intend to pay any dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. See "Dilution" and "Dividend Policy." 12 14 THE COMPANY The Company was organized on December 31, 1996 under the name "Mega Force Staffing Services, Inc." as the successor to The Mega Force Group, a group of operating companies providing clerical and light industrial staffing services in the southeastern United States, the first of which was founded in 1983. In March 1997, the Company acquired Hamilton-Ryker, a southeastern based clerical and light industrial staffing company with 27 branches in four states. In December 1997, the Company acquired CSR, Inc., a midwest-based clerical, light industrial and IT staffing company with 49 branches in ten states, subsequent to which the Company changed its name to Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. Since acquiring CSR, Inc., the Company has acquired four businesses, NPS of Atlanta, Inc., Intranational Computer Consultants Inc., and CMS Management Services Company (together with Hamilton-Ryker and CSR, Inc., the "Completed Acquisitions"), and on May 15, 1998, Monday Temporary Services, Inc. ("Monday").

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to repay outstanding indebtedness under its Credit Agreement (as defined herein) and certain notes payable to shareholders and for working capital and general corporate purposes, including future acquisitions. At March 31, 1998, the Company had $35.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement currently bears interest at a base rate or London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus an applicable margin and is scheduled to mature on December 3, 2001. At March 31, 1998, the weighted average interest rate for outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement was 8.75% and the interest rate for the shareholder notes payable was 8.0%. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement have been used to finance acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Certain Transactions." The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders. DIVIDEND POLICY The Company does not anticipate paying any dividends on Common Stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, the Credit Agreement prohibits the payment of dividends. See "Description of Capital Stock." 14 16 CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth: (i) the actual capitalization of the Company at March 31, 1998; (ii) the pro forma capitalization of the Company at March 31, 1998, giving effect to the acquisitions completed by the Company after that date, the issuance of $5.0 million of subordinated promissory notes and the sale of the shares of Common Stock offered by the Company hereby (at an assumed public offering price of $ per share), after deduction of the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in "Use of Proceeds."

(3) Excludes approximately 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Company's Option Plan (as defined herein) (of which: (i) 95,000 shares of Common Stock are issuable upon exercise of outstanding options at a weighted average exercise price of $8.00 per share; and (ii) 250,000 shares of Common Stock will be issuable upon exercise of options to be granted concurrently with the consummation of this Offering at a weighted average exercise price of $ ). See "Management," "Capitalization" and "Principal and Selling Stockholders." 15 17 DILUTION The pro forma net tangible book value of the Company at March 31, 1998 was approximately $ million, or $ per share of Common Stock. Pro forma net tangible book value per share prior to Offering adjustments, represents the Company's pro forma total tangible assets less its pro forma total liabilities prior to Offering adjustments, divided by 9,678,114 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 1998. After giving effect to the sale of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby (after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated Offering expenses) and the use of the net proceeds therefrom as described under "Use of Proceeds," the pro forma net tangible book value of the Company at March 31, 1998 would have been approximately $ million, or per share.

See "Capitalization." 18 20 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. Actual events and results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including the matters set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Prospectus. OVERVIEW Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. is a leading provider of diversified staffing, professional and consulting services to businesses, professional and service organizations, educational institutions and governmental agencies. The Company offers these services through over 130 branches located in 16 states. Since March 1997, the Company has acquired six additional staffing and professional service companies with 88 branches. The Company believes that a combination of internal growth and selective acquisitions will allow it to capitalize most effectively on opportunities in the large and rapidly growing staffing services industry. For the year ended December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company's pro forma revenues and operating income were $227.7 million and $61.3 million, and $10.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The Company primarily provides two types of staffing services: (i) commercial staffing services ("Commercial Staffing"), including vendor-on-premises, clerical, administrative and light industrial staffing services; and (ii) professional staffing services ("Professional Services"), including a comprehensive range of IT, accounting and finance staffing, placement and outplacement services. The Company's Commercial Staffing branches primarily serve small to mid-size cities, while its Professional Services branches serve primarily major metropolitan and national markets. The Company has grown significantly in the past 18 months through its Completed Acquisitions, including the acquisition of CSR, Inc. on December 3, 1997. The businesses owned by CSR, Inc. (the "CSR businesses") were founded by William W. Wilkinson with his son, William J. Wilkinson, in 1986 to provide clerical and light industrial staffing services. The revenues of the CSR businesses grew at a compound annual growth rate of over 29.6% during the two year and eleven month period ended December 3, 1997, and the gross profits of the CSR businesses grew at a compound annual growth rate of over 31.9% during the same period. During this period, the CSR businesses' growth was attributable to increased billable hours, higher hourly rates, the opening of new branches and a shift in its business mix toward Professional Services. The disciplined budgeting process and management practices implemented at the CSR businesses serve as the management model for all branches of the Company. The Company recognizes revenues based on hours worked by assigned personnel. Generally, the Company bills its clients a prenegotiated fixed rate per hour worked by its temporary employees. Temporary personnel placed by the Company are generally Company employees; accordingly, the Company is responsible for workers' compensation, unemployment compensation insurance, Medicare and Social Security taxes and general payroll expenses. These expenses are included within cost of services. Because the Company pays its temporary employees only for the hours they actually work, wages for the Company's temporary personnel are a variable cost that increases or decreases in proportion to revenues. Some of the temporary employees placed by the Company may decide to accept an offer of permanent employment from the client and thereby "convert" the temporary position to a permanent position, and in this case, a fee is generally paid to the Company. Such fees are included in revenues herein. Selling, general and administrative expenses include payroll for management and administrative employees, office occupancy costs, sales and marketing expenses and other general and administrative costs. The Completed Acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, with the results of operations of businesses acquired being included in the Company's results of operations beginning on the date of acquisition. As of the date hereof, the Company has recorded approximately $63.5 million as goodwill, representing the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the assets acquired. Approximately 23.0% of the goodwill is deductible for federal income tax purposes over 15 years. For 19 21 financial reporting purposes, goodwill is amortized over 40 years. The pro forma effect of this amortization expense is approximately $1.6 million annually. The Company incurred a non-recurring extraordinary item, net of taxes, of $1.7 million in the year ended December 31, 1997. This item represents a charge resulting from the early extinguishment of debt by the Company in December 1997. See Notes to Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. Financial Statements. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS The Company acquired Monday Temporary Services, Inc. ("Monday") on May 15, 1998, for a purchase price of approximately $3.8 million. Monday, which provides clerical and light industrial staffing services out of its office in Kalamazoo, Michigan, had 1997 revenues of $6.2 million. HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA OPERATING DATA The historical operating data of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1997 and three months ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998 includes the results of operations of the Completed Acquisitions in the Company's results of operations beginning on the date each acquisition was completed. The historical operating data of the Company as of and for the periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 represents the results of operations of the Company's predecessor, The Mega Force Group. Pro forma information gives effect to the Completed Acquisitions and the Consummation of the Offering described herein. The pro forma adjustments for the Completed Acquisitions include: (i) the Completed Acquisitions as if they were consummated as of the beginning of each of those periods; (ii) an adjustment to compensation expense for the difference between actual compensation paid to certain officers of the Company and the acquired companies and compensation expense agreed to in connection with the recent amendment and restatement of certain management employment contracts; (iii) an adjustment to income tax expense based upon a consolidated effective tax rate of 45%, which reflects the impact of nondeductible goodwill amortization; (iv) an adjustment to amortization expense relating to intangible assets recorded in conjunction with the Completed Acquisitions; and (v) an adjustment to interest expense to reflect incremental borrowings under the Company's borrowing facility necessary to finance the Completed Acquisition. Pro forma adjustments for the Offering include: (i) a reduction of interest expense resulting from repayment of outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement and repayment of shareholder notes payable; and (ii) the elimination of certain management and consulting fees pursuant to certain agreements which will be terminated upon consummation of the Offering. The pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred had these transactions been completed as of such date or the results that may be attained in the future.

Revenues increased 26.2% to $61.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $48.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase in revenues was a result of a 25.3% increase in revenues from Commercial Staffing to $49.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $39.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, and a 31.1% increase in revenues from Professional Services to $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Commercial Staffing revenues increased primarily as a result of increased billings to existing clients, the addition of new clients and the opening of 20 new branches. In addition, the Company established a new VOP relationship, which provided $6.4 million of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Professional Services revenues increased primarily as a result of increased billings to existing clients, the addition of new clients, increased billing rates, and the opening of six new branches. Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 26.7% to $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues remained relatively constant at 21.3% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to 21.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 27.2% to $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This increase was primarily due to salaries and related benefits arising from the hiring of additional management personnel necessary to identify, complete and integrate acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues remained constant at 16.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and the three months ended March 31, 1997. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 7.2% to $685,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $639,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 1.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 1.3% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Other Operating Expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company incurred other operating expenses of $59,000, related primarily to legal and accounting fees incurred by one of the acquired companies in a failed acquisition transaction. Operating Income. As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased 36.6% to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, and operating income as a percentage of revenues increased to 3.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 3.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 Revenues. Revenues increased 221.8% to $53.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $16.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Revenues increased primarily due to the inclusion of the full three months results of operations of CSR, Inc. and Hamilton-Ryker and partial period results for other acquired companies for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and the establishment of a new VOP relationship, which provided $6.4 million of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 264.7% to $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 19.4% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 17.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This increase resulted from the inclusion of the full three months of operations of CSR, Inc. and Hamilton-Ryker and partial period results for other acquired companies. CSR, Inc., Hamilton-Ryker and the other acquired companies had higher gross margins due to the higher proportion of Professional Services in their revenue mixes. 21 23 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 268.4% to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 15.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 13.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This increase was primarily due to salaries and related benefits arising from hiring several management personnel to identify, complete and integrate acquisitions. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 508.4% to $505,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $83,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 1.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 0.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase was due to a full three months of amortization of goodwill in 1998 in connection with the acquisitions of Hamilton-Ryker and CSR, Inc. Other Operating Expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company incurred other operating expenses of $163,000 related to amounts paid to a former member of management. Operating Income. As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased 356.3% to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $336,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, and operating income as a percentage of revenues increased to 2.9% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 2.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 Revenues. Revenues increased 74.8% to $114.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 from $65.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Hamilton-Ryker, which had revenues of $36.0 million from the date of its acquisition on March 12, 1997 to year end, and the acquisition of CSR, Inc., which had revenues of $5.3 million from the date of its acquisition on December 3, 1997 to year end. A significant portion of this increase was due to the establishment of a new VOP relationship, which provided $5.2 million of revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997. During both 1997 and 1996, the Company's revenues were generated primarily by Commercial Staffing, as the Company did not provide Professional Services prior to the acquisition of CSR, Inc. Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 94.0% to $21.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 from $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 18.3% for the year ended December 31, 1997 from 16.5% for the year ended December 31, 1996. This increase was due to lower costs associated with workers' compensation claims and the acquisition of Hamilton-Ryker and CSR, Inc., which had higher gross margins than the Company. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 46.0% to $13.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 from $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 12.1% for the year ended December 31, 1997 from 14.5% for the year ended December 31, 1996. This decrease resulted from greater operating efficiencies and economies of scale gained from a larger revenue base. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 194.4% to $836,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 from $284,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 0.7% for the year ended December 31, 1997 from 0.4% for the year ended December 31, 1996. The increase was due to the amortization of goodwill in connection with the acquisitions of Hamilton-Ryker and CSR, Inc. in 1997. Other Operating Expenses. During the year ended December 31, 1997 the Company incurred other operating expenses of $1.2 million which consisted primarily of severance fees paid to two former executive employees of the Company and amounts paid to a third former executive employee. Operating Income. As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased 392.1% to $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 from $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, and operating 22 24 income as a percentage of revenues increased to 4.5% for the year ended December 31, 1997 from 1.6% for the year ended December 31, 1996. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 Revenues. Revenues decreased 2.7% to $65.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 from $67.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. The decrease in revenues was a result of the closing of a client's operating facility in December 1995, at which the Company had a VOP site that generated $3.8 million of revenues in 1995, and the non-renewal of a second VOP relationship by the same client in April 1995, which generated $4.6 million of revenues in 1995. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in revenues of $6.6 million as a result of increased billings to existing clients and the addition of new clients. Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 6.4% to $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 from $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 16.5% for the year ended December 31, 1996 from 15.1% for the year ended December 31, 1995. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due to replacing the lost VOP revenues with higher margin revenues. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 1.7% to $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 from $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 14.5% for the year ended December 31, 1996 from 14.3% for the year ended December 31, 1995. This increase resulted from constant fixed costs distributed over a smaller revenue base. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased 3.7% to $284,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 from $295,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of revenues remained constant at 0.4% for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995. Operating Income. As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased 361.2% to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 from $227,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, and operating income as a percentage of revenues increased to 1.6% for the year ended December 31, 1996 from 0.4% for the year ended December 31, 1995. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash provided by operating activities was $746,000 and $529,000 in the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 and $1.5 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 1997, operations used $1.4 million in cash. The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997 was due to an increase in net income and an increase in accrued payroll and related taxes resulting from the timing of temporary staff payroll at March 31, 1998. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in 1997 as compared to 1996 was primarily due to (i) an increase in accounts receivable as a result of growth experienced by the Company during 1997; (ii) an increase in income taxes receivable due to timing of income tax payments made during the year; and (iii) amounts contributed to the worker's compensation insurance loss fund in excess of amounts accrued. The slight decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in 1996 as compared to 1995 was primarily due to a decrease in accrued payroll and related taxes due to the timing of such payments and amounts contributed to the workers' compensation insurance loss fund in excess of amounts accrued. Net cash used in investing activities was $411,000, $138,000 and $4.1 million in the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996, 1997 and $3.3 million and $14.0 million first three months of 1997 and 1998, respectively. Cash used in investing activities for the periods presented was attributable to the acquisitions and capital expenditures. During March 1997, the Company acquired Hamilton-Ryker and Data Resources, Inc., which, net of cash received, resulted in a use of cash of approximately $3 million during the three months 23 25 ended March 31, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1997. During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company completed the acquisitions of two staffing companies, resulting in a use of cash of approximately $12.0 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.0 million and $8.0 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 respectively, and was primarily attributable to borrowings for the acquisitions referred to above. Net cash used in financing activities was $529,000 and $250,000 during the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Financing activities provided $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. Financing activities during the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 consisted primarily of borrowings and payments on the Company's line of credit, borrowings and payments on shareholder notes payable and shareholder distributions. During the year ended December 31, 1997 the Company paid the outstanding borrowings on its line of credit in full with proceeds from the revolving credit agreement. Payments and borrowings on the revolving credit agreement were made throughout the year based upon the Company's cash needs. The Company anticipates that it will require significant amounts of cash to finance acquisitions after the Offering. The Company expects to fulfill these requirements for cash primarily through bank borrowings, cash from operations, and from the sale of debt or equity securities of the Company. The Company has entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with ING (U.S.) Capital Corporation, Creditanstalt Corporate Finance, Inc. and Societe Generale (the "Lenders") to provide a $75 million revolving credit facility, $45.0 million of which is outstanding. The Company expects that, immediately upon completion of the Offering and repayment of currently outstanding amounts with the proceeds of the Offering, the entire facility will be available. Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at rates based, at the Company's option, on either LIBOR or a base rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin is contingent upon the ratio of the Company's senior funded debt to its EBITDA and will vary from 2.50% to 3.25% per annum in the case of LIBOR loans and .50% to 1.25% per annum in the case of base rate loans. In addition, the Company is required to pay to the Lenders a monthly fee of .50% per annum with respect to the unused portion of the credit facility. The Credit Agreement also permits up to $10 million of the amount available for borrowings to be used for the issuance of letters of credit. A per annum fee based on the applicable margin for LIBOR loans is payable with respect to the face amount of letters of credit outstanding during the applicable month. See Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements of Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, by a pledge of the stock of the subsidiaries and by drop-down notes made by each subsidiary in favor of the Company and pledged by the Company to the Lenders. In addition, subsidiaries of the Company have guaranteed the Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains covenants requiring the maintenance of certain financial ratios and specified net worth and limiting the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the sale of substantial assets, consolidations or mergers by the Company and the payment of dividends. The Credit Agreement will terminate, and all borrowings will be required to be repaid on December 3, 2001. The Company believes that its cash flows together with available borrowings under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient for its capital expenditure requirements, including capital expenditures expected to be incurred to acquire and implement a system designed to standardize financial reporting and accounting controls. The net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, are expected to total approximately $ million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of this Offering as follows: (i) approximately $ million to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility; and (ii) the balance of the net proceeds, expected to be approximately $ million, for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and opening new offices. While there can be no assurance, the Company believes that the proceeds of this Offering, funds currently available on hand, funds to be provided by operations and funds available under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated needs for working capital until the end of 1998. The Company's estimate of the time that the proceeds of this Offering, funds currently on hand, funds 24 26 provided by operations and funds available under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital needs is a forward-looking statement that is subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results and working capital needs could differ materially from those estimated due to a number of factors, including the use of such proceeds to fund acquisitions. In addition, acquisitions may require additional debt and equity financing. SEASONALITY The Company's quarterly operating results are affected primarily by the number of billing days in the quarter and the seasonality of its customers' businesses. Demand for services in Commercial Staffing has historically been lower during the year-end holidays through February of the following year, showing gradual improvement over the remainder of the year. Although less pronounced than in Commercial Staffing, the demand for Professional Services is typically lower during the first quarter until customers' operating budgets are finalized. The Company believes that the effects of seasonality will be less severe in the future as revenues contributed by Professional Services continue to increase as a percentage of the Company's consolidated revenues. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and disclosure of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 131 changes the manner in which public companies report segment information in annual reports and requires companies to report selected segment information in interim financial reports. The Company will be required to report financial and descriptive information about the Company's operating segments. Both these statements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with reclassification of the financial statements for earlier periods required for comparative purposes. The Company plans to adopt these statements, for its year ending December 31, 1998. SFAS No. 130 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's historical financial statements, as comprehensive income will equal reported net income. The Company is evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 131. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE The Company believes that its computer software and systems are year 2000 compliant and that any costs that may be incurred to modify existing software will not be material. 25 27 BUSINESS GENERAL Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. is a leading provider of diversified staffing, professional and consulting services to businesses, professional and service organizations, educational institutions and governmental agencies. The Company offers these services through over 130 branches located in 16 states. Since 1997, the Company has acquired six additional staffing and professional service companies with 88 branches. The Company believes that a combination of internal growth and selective acquisitions will allow it to capitalize most effectively on opportunities in the large and rapidly growing staffing services industry. For the year ended December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company's pro forma revenues and operating income were $227.7 million and $61.3 million, and $10.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The Company primarily provides two types of staffing services: (i) Commercial Staffing, including VOP, clerical, administrative and light industrial staffing services; and (ii) Professional Services, including a comprehensive range of IT, accounting and finance staffing, placement and outplacement services. The Company's Commercial Staffing branches serve primarily small to mid-size cities, while its Professional Services branches serve primarily major metropolitan and national markets. For the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the three months ended March 31, 1998, Commercial Staffing generated approximately 82.0% and 80.3% of the Company's pro forma revenues and 71.7% and 69.1% of the Company's pro forma gross profits, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the three months ended March 31, 1998, Professional Services generated approximately 18.0% and 19.7% of the Company's pro forma revenues and 28.3% and 30.9% of the Company's pro forma gross profits, respectively. STAFFING SERVICES INDUSTRY OVERVIEW The staffing services industry has grown rapidly in recent years as companies have utilized supplemental employees to control personnel costs and to meet specialized or fluctuating personnel needs. According to Staffing Industry Report, the U.S. market for temporary staffing services is estimated to have grown at a compound annual rate of approximately 17.3% from approximately $29.3 billion in 1992 to approximately $65.0 billion in 1997. Within the U.S. staffing services industry, the market for office support grew at a compound annual rate of approximately 13.1% from approximately $8.5 billion in 1992 to approximately $15.7 billion in 1997, and the market for industrial staffing services grew at a compound annual rate of approximately 17.3% from approximately $6.0 billion in 1992 to approximately $13.3 billion in 1997. Furthermore, according to Staffing Industry Report, revenues from information technology and technical staffing are estimated to have grown at a compound annual rate of 25.2% from approximately $5.1 billion in 1992 to approximately $15.7 billion in 1997. The Company believes the staffing industry is highly fragmented with over 6,000 staffing companies and 2,500 professional/IT companies. Although the industry is experiencing increasing consolidation, in part because of client demand for comprehensive supplemental staffing solutions, the Company believes that there are numerous attractive acquisition targets. GROWTH STRATEGY The Company has implemented a strategy intended to continue its growth in existing and new markets, the key elements of which are to: (i) increase the Company's focus on Professional Services; (ii) cross-sell service offerings in existing markets and expand into new markets; (iii) focus on commercial staffing in small to mid-size cities; (iv) increase vendor-on-premises relationships; and (v) expand through acquisitions. Increase Focus on Professional Services. The Company's strategy is to increase the percentage of total revenues and gross profits contributed by Professional Services by expanding its service offerings in the fields of IT staffing and consulting and accounting and finance staffing. The Company also intends to grow its pool of skilled professionals, hire additional sales consultants, target mid-size and large companies, and leverage client relationships. The Company believes that providing Professional Services to its clients offers attractive opportunities for growth in sales and profits. Professional Services, primarily IT services, comprised 19.7% of 26 28 the Company's pro forma revenues and generated 30.9% of the Company's pro forma gross profit in the three months ended March 31, 1998. The Company currently employs 43 recruiters and 46 sales consultants in Professional Services, a 53.4% increase over the previous year. Based on client demand for Professional Services on a national basis, the Company intends to open additional Professional Services branches and to increase the pace of acquisitions of Professional Services companies in larger metropolitan markets. Cross-Sell Service Offerings in Existing Markets and Expand Into New Markets. The Company continually identifies additional growth opportunities with existing and new clients as a result of the breadth of the Company's service offerings. The Company currently offers a complete range of IT, accounting and clerical staffing services in only a small number of its markets. As a result, the Company believes substantial opportunities exist to cross-sell service offerings, especially Professional Services, within these markets. In addition, the Company continually evaluates potential expansion of existing services into new geographic areas. To facilitate the offering of new services in existing and new markets, the Company plans to transfer or recruit experienced personnel for positions in new locations as such locations are opened. The Company also seeks to leverage its relationships with existing clients to facilitate entry into new markets. Focus on Commercial Staffing in Small to Mid-Size Cities. The Company provides Commercial Staffing primarily in small to mid-size cities with populations ranging from 10,000 to 250,000 and seeks to be the leading provider of Commercial Staffing in the markets in which it operates. The Company believes that its existing and potential clients in these markets select service providers largely based on local brand awareness, specialized expertise and quality of service. Each of the Company's Commercial Staffing branches operates under established local brand names. The Company intends to continue building on the strong reputations of these local brand names in their markets while leveraging the sophisticated support services and low cost structures of a national provider. The Company believes that it can achieve attractive margins in these markets and that in many cases it has a competitive marketing advantage over national providers because it has developed a strong local presence and has tailored its operations to meet local client needs. Increase Vendor-On-Premises Relationships. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had 20 VOP partnering relationships. VOP relationships represented $39.6 million and $14.1 million of the Company's pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998, respectively. Under these programs, the Company assumes administrative responsibility for coordinating some or all Commercial Staffing at a client's location or organization, including skills testing and training. The VOP relationships provide clients with dedicated on-site account management which can more effectively meet the client's changing staffing needs with high quality, timely and consistent service. While these partnering relationships tend to have lower gross margins than traditional temporary staffing services, their higher volumes and relatively long-term relationships result in a more stable source of revenue. The Company has expanded geographically by establishing new VOP sites to service existing clients and intends to establish additional sites for both existing and new clients as opportunities arise in the future. Expand through Acquisitions. The Company intends to acquire and integrate independent Professional Service and Commercial Staffing companies with strong management, profitable operating results and recognized local and regional presences. Since March 1997, the Company has acquired six companies with an aggregate of 88 branches and 1997 revenues of $160.7 million. Primarily, the Company intends to pursue strategic acquisitions in Professional Services that offer complementary services and expand the percentage of revenues generated by Professional Services and tuck-in acquisitions in Commercial Staffing that increase its penetration of existing markets. The Company has established a team of corporate officers responsible for identifying prospective acquisitions, performing due diligence, negotiating contracts and subsequently integrating the acquired companies. The Company typically retains management of acquired companies and offers management of acquired companies contingent compensation based on improvement in financial performance of the acquired operating company. The Company intends to include Common Stock as part of the consideration in future acquisitions in order to incentivize management of acquired companies and align their interests with those of the Company. 27 29 OPERATING STRATEGY The key elements of the Company's operating strategy include: (i) maintain an entrepreneurial environment; (ii) continue disciplined financial management; (iii) integrate acquired companies quickly; (iv) maintain or establish leadership in existing geographic markets; and (v) deliver high value-added quality service. Maintain an Entrepreneurial Environment. The Company's management structure promotes an entrepreneurial environment that rewards performance at all levels of the Company. The Company has decentralized decisions regarding staff selection, pricing, business mix and advertising, resulting in significant local autonomy at the branch level. This permits each branch to be extremely flexible and responsive to the specific needs of its clients. The Company has an incentive compensation system for its managers which it believes: (i) allows the Company to capitalize on its managers' knowledge of local business conditions and markets; (ii) encourages local branch managers to develop long-term relationships with key decision makers at both existing and potential clients; and (iii) makes the Company more attractive to potential employees and acquisition candidates. Continue Disciplined Financial Management. The Company's corporate management has developed certain financial, risk management and administrative control procedures which are applied to each branch. These control procedures include the preparation of annual business plans and budgets and the submission of detailed monthly financial reports. This information is reviewed by the Company's executive officers together with branch managers at the end of each fiscal quarter. In addition, the Company produces weekly financial performance reports with respect to each of its branches that are supplied to branch managers as well as operating company management. This information allows management proactively to manage the Company down to the branch level and continuously to seek new opportunities to improve operations. The Company performs periodic operational audits of each of the Company's branches in order to effectively manage and control worker's compensation costs. The Company believes its system of disciplined financial management is readily adaptable and scalable as the Company continues to grow. Integrate Acquired Companies Quickly. As soon as practicable after an acquisition is completed, management begins integrating newly acquired companies. The Company has a dedicated team of professionals who implement a formal process of budgeting and quarterly performance reviews as well as its disciplined financial management system at all newly acquired companies. The integration process involves installing back-office management information systems and standardizing each acquired company's accounting and financial procedures with those of the Company. Acquired companies are brought under the Company's uniform risk management program, and key personnel of acquired companies often become a part of management of the Company. Marketing, sales, field operations and personnel programs of the acquired companies are reviewed and, where appropriate, conformed to the Company's practices. Maintain or Establish Leadership in Existing Geographic Markets. The Company believes that there are substantial growth opportunities within its existing geographic markets. On a pro forma basis, the Company has opened 40 branches since January 1, 1996, and the Company anticipates opening additional new branches in its existing geographic markets. A new branch typically takes up to six months to reach operating profitability and the Company believes that new branches typically achieve a relatively well-developed client base within two years after opening. The Company believes that as its relatively new branches mature through sustained sales and marketing efforts, the Company generally should realize increased revenues and profitability from such branches. To further penetrate existing geographic markets, the Company spins-off new branches from existing branches, which provides the Company greater coverage in these geographic markets at marginal cost. These branch clusters provide economies of scale by leveraging common costs such as recruiting, advertising and management over a larger revenue base as well as providing better service to clients and opportunities to temporary employees in these markets. Deliver High Value-Added Quality Service. The Company emphasizes recruiting, training and retaining experienced sales consultants and providing highly qualified temporary employees. The Company trains its sales consultants to operate as partners with their clients in evaluating and meeting the client's staffing requirements. The Company seeks to enhance client relationships and to provide highly qualified temporary 28 30 employees by generating referrals from existing temporary employees, utilizing in-depth interviews conducted by Company personnel experienced in the temporary employees' field, performing skill evaluations, contacting clients within hours of the beginning of a project to receive a preliminary determination of satisfaction and obtaining client satisfaction reports upon the completion of projects. The Company seeks to understand and proactively assess clients' needs, to respond promptly to clients' requests and to continually monitor job performance and client satisfaction. The Company believes that its commitment to providing quality service has enabled it to establish and maintain long-term relationships with clients. To assure its branch managers are equally committed to providing quality service, the Company reviews and evaluates them based, among other factors, on client retention. SERVICES The Company provides Commercial Staffing and Professional Services. Commercial Staffing generated approximately $186.8 million, or 82.0%, of 1997 pro forma revenues, and $34.0 million, or 71.7%, of 1997 pro forma gross profit. Professional Services generated approximately $40.9 million, or 18.0%, of pro forma revenues in the year ended December 31, 1997, and $15.2 million, or 28.3%, of pro forma gross profits in the year ended December 31, 1997. The Company expects the proportion of revenues and gross profits generated by Professional Services relative to Commercial Staffing to increase in the future. Commercial Staffing. The Company offers Commercial Staffing, ranging from workforce management to clerical, administrative and light industrial staffing, through 102 branches located primarily in the Midwest and the Southeast in small to mid-size cities with populations from 10,000 to 250,000. The Company's Commercial Staffing business consists of providing a wide variety of clerical, administrative, assembly and light industrial skills. In addition to providing personnel to perform general office tasks such as reception, copying and filing, the Company provides high-end niche clerical personnel who are proficient in word processing, graphics, spreadsheets or database management. In the light industrial area, the Company primarily provides skilled and semi-skilled personnel to perform tasks such as precision assembly, packaging, shipping and receiving, warehousing and equipment operation. Within Commercial Staffing, the Company offers Vendor-on-Premises services, whereby a client delegates management of its staffing needs to the Company, allowing the client to focus on its core business activities. VOP has evolved to include managing a client's entire staffing needs in some cases. Revenues from VOP clients have grown to 21.2% of Commercial Staffing pro forma revenue for fiscal 1997. In connection with its VOP services, the Company will continue to expand into new geographic areas for both existing and new clients. Once in place, clients are reluctant to terminate VOP arrangements, having become dependent on the Company's knowledge and management systems. Professional Services. The Company offers an expanding array of Professional Services, including IT, accounting and finance staffing, placement and outplacement services, through 29 branches located primarily in major metropolitan markets. In the IT area, the Company provides a broad spectrum of staff augmentation services, ranging from hardware systems support, desktop management and PC support, help desk support, and data center operations to software development and customization, programming and network configuration. The Company's IT services generally provide large numbers of personnel for shorter assignments. The Company also provides accounting and finance personnel at all levels, including bookkeepers, degreed accountants, certified public accountants, auditors and controllers. The Company's strategy is to increase the percentage of total revenues and gross profits contributed by Professional Services by expanding its service offerings in the fields of IT staffing and consulting and accounting and finance staffing. The Company also intends to grow its pool of skilled professionals, hire additional sales consultants, target mid-size and large companies, leverage whenever possible on existing client relationships, open additional Professional Services branches and increase the pace of acquisitions of Professional Services in major metropolitan markets. The Company believes that providing Professional Services to its clients offers the attractive opportunities for growth in sales and profits. 29 31 CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS The Company has a broad client base. The Company's largest client accounted for approximately 3.0% of the Company's 1997 pro forma revenues. The Company's five largest clients together accounted for 9.9% of the Company's 1997 pro forma revenues. In Commercial Staffing, the Company offers services to a broad range of clients, from small businesses to Fortune 500 corporations. In Professional Services, the Company typically targets Fortune 1000 corporations with sophisticated MIS needs. HUMAN RESOURCES Employees. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had approximately 490 full-time employees. On a pro forma basis, the Company employed over 12,000 temporary employees in a typical week in 1997. None of the Company's employees, including its temporary employees, is represented by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company believes its employee relations to be strong. Hourly wages for the Company's temporary employees are determined according to market conditions. The Company pays mandated costs of employment, including the employer's share of social security taxes, federal and state unemployment taxes, unemployment compensation insurance, general payroll expenses and workers' compensation insurance. The Company offers access to various insurance programs and other benefits, such as vacations, holidays and 401(k) programs to qualified temporary employees and professionals. Recruiting. The Company believes that successful recruiting is critical to the growth of its business. One of the Company's most successful recruiting tools is referrals by its temporary employees. The Company finds that referrals from existing employees provide a large number of high quality new temporary employees. In Commercial Staffing, the Company employs full-time regional recruiters who visit schools, clubs and professional associations and present career development programs at job fairs and to various organizations. In addition, the Company advertises in major newspapers, on radio, in the Yellow Pages and through other print media. In Professional Services, the Company employs 43 full-time recruiters and compensates its temporary employees for the recruitment and retention of qualified professionals. In addition, the Company seeks to offer its employees interesting and challenging assignments which enhance their professional skills and career development. The Company also obtains many IT applicants through its world wide web sites. The Company is in the process of expanding its primary web site to allow for the listing of certain jobs and processing applications on-line. Assessment, Training and Quality Control. The Company uses a comprehensive system to assess, select and train its temporary employees in order to assure the quality of its services. Applicants are given a range of tests, applicable to the position(s) they seek. Clerical and office-support applicants receive comprehensive tests in computer skills, word processing, typing, data entry, accounting and other business applications. These tests cover the latest software and evaluate each individual's skills and experience. Computerized tutorials are generally available for temporary employees who seek to upgrade their typing, data entry, office automation or word processing skills. The Company completes reference checks for its Professional Services employees and carefully monitors client satisfaction with the performance of temporary professionals. Risk Management and Workers' Compensation Program. The Company believes that higher operating margins can be achieved through careful risk management and monitoring of workers' compensation claims and unemployment compensation claims. The Company's risk management team therefore takes a proactive approach to safety, risk control, and cost containment. The team works diligently to train the Company's field staff to better screen and test candidates for employment and to orient the Company's temporary employees to a more safety-conscious environment. The field staff performs periodic safety inspections of new and existing clients in order to evaluate their safety environments. The field staff has the authority to decline service if a work environment is perceived to be unsafe or potentially hazardous. The Company's policies prohibit staffing of high-risk activities such as working on unprotected elevated platforms, handling of hazardous materials, or construction activities. The Company's goal is to work alongside the client to achieve a safe work environment through effective training and commitment to safety. In particular, the Company's risk management team analyzes all claims in order to produce the most effective cost containment methods. The integrity of the program is monitored through an internal audit process that reports directly to executive management. An 30 32 independent actuary provides advice on overall workers' compensation costs and periodically performs an actuarial valuation regarding the adequacy of the Company's reserve for workers' compensation claims. The Company implements its risk management program at newly acquired companies from the date of acquisition of such companies. The Company maintains workers' compensation insurance for claims in excess of a retention level of $250,000 per occurrence. Premium costs historically have trended downward due to the Company's successful management of workers' compensation claims. OPERATIONS Sales and Marketing. The Company's services are marketed through its network of over 130 branches whose managers and placement coordinators make regular personal sales visits to clients and prospective clients. The Company emphasizes long-term personal relationships with clients which are developed through regular assessment of client requirements and constant monitoring of temporary staff performance. New clients are obtained through sales calls, consultation meetings with target companies, client referrals, telemarketing and advertising in a variety of local and regional media, including radio, Yellow Pages, newspapers, magazines and trade publications and through the Company's world wide web sites. In addition, the Company sponsors job fairs and other community events and the Company's officers and senior management participate in national and regional trade associations, local chambers of commerce and other civic associations. The Company coordinates the sales, marketing and recruiting functions to identify prospective opportunities to deliver high value-added quality services. The Company believes that both its clients and its temporary employee candidates select service providers principally on the basis of local brand awareness, specialized expertise and quality of service. The Company provides Commercial Staffing under several established local brand names, most of which have been continuously in use for more than 10 years. The Company is considering establishing distinct national brands in its Professional Services operations that target specific staffing disciplines in order to provide clients and candidates with an easily identifiable source of specific staffing expertise. Branch Offices. The Company offers its services through over 130 branch offices in California, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. The Company's Commercial Staffing branches are primarily located in small to mid-size cities with populations of 10,000 to 250,000, and the Company's Professional Services branches are primarily located in major urban markets. Branch managers operate their branches with a combination of a significant degree of autonomy and specific areas of accountability to the Company and are eligible for compensation based on operating performance in excess of budgeted amounts at their branches. The compensation system is designed to motivate the managers and staff to maximize the growth and profitability of their branches while securing long-term client relationships. Branch managers report directly to area managers, regional vice presidents or division presidents, all of whom receive bonuses based upon the profitability of their regions or operating divisions against budgeted performance targets. Operating within the guidelines set by the Company, the branch managers are responsible for pursuing new business opportunities and focusing on sales and marketing, account development and retention and employee recruitment, development and retention. Management Information Systems. The Company licenses front office software for Commercial Staffing from several providers. The Company's IT services branches use the Staffsoft system, which permits access to a shared database of resumes and job orders at the branch level, allowing the branch office to fill client orders, communicate with clients regarding invoices and perform candidate screening for the most suitable job opportunity. The Company has licensed the MAS90 system for its accounting and administrative functions and is in the process of installing it in certain branches. The Company's systems allow the remote printing of paychecks at many of its branches. The Company believes that its systems can be readily expanded to meet increased demands without significant additional expenditures. The Company reviews its systems periodically and upgrades and implements new systems based on a cost-benefit analysis. 31 33 COMPETITION The staffing industry is intensely competitive and fragmented and has limited barriers to entry. The Company competes for employees and clients in national, regional and local markets with full-service and specialized temporary staffing service businesses. A significant number of the Company's competitors have greater marketing, financial and other resources and more established operations than the Company. Price competition in the staffing industry is intense, particularly for the provision of commercial personnel, and pricing pressures from competitors and customers are increasing. Many of the Company's clients have relationships with more than one staffing service company. However, in recent years, an increasing number of companies have consolidated their staffing services purchases and entered into exclusive contracts with a single temporary staffing company or small number of temporary staffing companies. If current or potential clients enter into exclusive contracts with competitors of the Company, it will be difficult or impossible for the Company to obtain business from such clients. The Company expects that the level of competition will remain high in the future, which could limit the Company's ability to maintain or increase its market share or maintain or increase gross margins, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the Company competes for acquisition candidates with other staffing services companies, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition candidates or complete acquisitions. See "Risk Factors - -- Competition" and "Risks Associated with Acquisitions." FACILITIES The Company's corporate headquarters are currently located at One Michiana Square, 100 East Wayne Street, Suite 100, South Bend, IN 46601. The Company has entered into a lease to rent new corporate headquarters space commencing in December 1998. The Company believes that the newly leased space will be adequate for its needs. The Company leases space for all of its branches and does not own any real property. The Company believes that its facilities are adequate for its needs and does not anticipate inordinate difficulty in replacing such facilities or opening additional facilities, if needed. A number of the Company's branch offices are leased from related parties. The Company believes that the lease terms are at least as favorable as could be obtained from any unrelated third party. See "Certain Transactions." REGULATION Generally, the Company's operations are not subject to state or local licensing requirements or other regulations specifically governing the provision of commercial and professional staffing services. There can be no assurance, however, that states in which the Company operates or may in the future operate will not adopt such licensing or other regulations affecting the Company. The laws of various states require the Company to maintain workers' compensation and unemployment insurance coverage for its temporary employees. The Company maintains state mandated workers' compensation and unemployment insurance coverage. The extent and type of health insurance benefits that employers are required to provide employees have been the subject of intense scrutiny and debate in recent years at both the national and state levels. Proposals have been made to mandate that employers provide health insurance benefits to staffing employees. In addition, some states could impose sales taxes, or raise sales tax rates, on staffing services. Further increases in such premiums or rates, or the introduction of new regulatory provisions, could substantially raise the costs associated with hiring and employing staffing employees. See "Risk Factors -- Unemployment Insurance and Workers' Compensation Costs" and "-- Risk of Government Regulation and Legislative Proposals." INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY The Company maintains a number of trademarks, tradenames, service marks and other intangible rights. The Company believes that it has all rights to trademarks and trade names necessary for the conduct of its 32 34 business and, except as set forth below, is not currently aware of any infringing uses or other conditions that would materially and adversely affect its use of proprietary rights. The Company is engaged in an unresolved trademark dispute with Mega Force Ltd. of Leawood, Kansas ("MFLtd"). The Company became aware of MFLtd after encountering an internet site for MFLtd early in 1997. MFLtd is apparently in the business of supplying contract computer personnel, such as programmers and system analysts. It is unclear whether these are temporary workers or simply "contract to hire" workers. MFLtd's service appears to be nationwide. On April 18, 1997, counsel forwarded to MFLtd a cease and desist letter that included a reference to Company's federally registered trademark for the name "Mega Force" for use in "temporary employment services." Counsel received a reply from MFLtd's counsel. The matter remains unresolved at this time. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is periodically threatened with or named as a defendant in various lawsuits, including discrimination, harassment and other similar claims. The Company maintains insurance in such amounts and with such coverage and deductibles as management believes are reasonable. The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings. 33 35 MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES The following table sets forth information regarding the executive officers, directors and other significant employees of the Company: NAME AGE POSITION - ---- --- -------- William W.

Each of the Senior Executive Agreements contains certain non-compete and confidentiality provisions that extend for a period of two years after the respective Senior Executive's termination of employment with the Company or its affiliates, which period is automatically extended for another two years if the confidentiality clause or the non-compete clause is violated by the Senior Executive. Option Grants. The Company granted an option to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Murphy at a price of $8.00 per share on January 29, 1998. The Company has not granted options to any other officers of directors. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Non-Qualified Option Plan. Effective , 1998 the Company will adopt the Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") for key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries or its parent ("Key Employees"). The Option Plan is intended to advance the best interests of the Company by allowing the Key Employees to acquire an ownership interest in the Company, thereby motivating Key Employees to contribute to the success of the Company and to remain in the employ of the Company and its subsidiaries through grants (the "Grants") of non-qualified stock options (the "Options") to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock. Under the Option Plan, not more than 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock are authorized for issuance upon exercise of the Options (subject to adjustment in the event of certain changes in the capitalization of the Company). The Options are not "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. As of January 29, 1998, Options to purchase 95,000 shares of Common Stock were outstanding under the Option Plan and concurrent with the consummation of the Offering, options for an additional 250,000 shares will be granted. The Board administers the Option Plan upon consultation with the Chairman and CEO of the Company. Subject to the terms of the Option Plan, the Board will have the authority to determine which employees are Key Employees, to select the Key Employees, if any, to whom Grants are to be made, to determine the 38 40 number of shares to be subject thereto and the terms and conditions thereof, and to make all other determinations and to take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the Option Plan. The Board is also authorized to adopt, amend and rescind rules relating to the administration of the Option Plan and to delegate its duty thereunder to a committee or other persons as the Board deems appropriate. The terms and conditions of each Option granted under the Option Plan will be set forth in a separate agreement between the Company and the option holder ("Option Agreement"), consistent with the terms of the Option Plan. The Board, in its sole discretion, shall determine the per share exercise price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option, and each Option shall become exercisable at such times and in such installments as the Board shall provide in each Option Agreement. No Option may be exercised after the expiration of ten years from the date such Option was granted. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the acquisition by another corporation of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or 80% or more of the Company's then outstanding voting stock, the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or certain initial public offerings of the Company's Common Stock, the Board, at its sole discretion, may determine that any Option shall be exercisable as to all shares covered thereby. The Board does not currently intend to accelerate the exercise of any Options in connection with the Offering. Under current federal income tax laws, in general, recipients of the Grants are taxable under Section 83 of the Code upon their receipt of Common Stock or cash with respect to such Grants and, subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, the Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction with respect to the amounts taxable to such recipients. 401(k) Savings Plan. The Company maintains a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, a defined contribution pension plan with a cash or deferred arrangement as described in section 401(k) of the Code (the "401(k) Plan"). The 401(k) Plan is intended to qualify under section 401(a) of the Code, so that contributions, and income earned thereon, are not taxable to employees until withdrawn. All regular full-time Company employees over the age of 18 are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan. The 401(k) Plan provides that each participant may make elective pre-tax salary deferrals up to 15% of his or her annual compensation, subject to statutory limits. The Trustee of the 401(k) Plan invests each employee's account at the direction of the employee, who may choose among several investment alternatives, which do not include shares of the Company's Common Stock. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS In connection with the formation of The Hamilton-Ryker Company, LLC ("HRC-LLC"), on January 1, 1996, the equity of Hamryk Services, Inc., a predecessor company, was recapitalized into a $1,373,169 note payable to each of Wayne T. McCreight ("McCreight") and D. Crawford Gallimore ("Gallimore"). During 1997, $811,252 was repaid on each of McCreight's and Gallimore's note. The balance of each note of $561,917 is recorded as notes payable to shareholders. During 1996, Mega Force Staffing Services, Inc. ("MFSS") made cash distributions of $3,860,000 and $772,000 to H. Ronald Stone ("Ronald Stone") and Jerry F. Stone ("Jerry Stone"), respectively. Of theses amounts, $1,256,000 and $251,000, respectively, was reinvested as additional paid in capital. In addition, Ronald Stone and Jerry Stone loaned the Company $1,667,000 and $333,000, respectively, which was reflected as notes payable to shareholders. These notes were repaid in full in 1997. On March 12, 1997, MFSS and HRC-LLC effected a business combination. Simultaneously, HRC-LLC was merged into The Hamilton-Ryker Company, Inc., a newly formed North Carolina Corporation ("HRC-Inc."). The business combination resulted in HRC-Inc. and MFSS becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of The Mega Force Staffing Companies, Inc. ("MF-Inc."), a newly formed Delaware corporation. On March 12, 1997 McCreight and Gallimore contributed their membership interests in HRC-LLC to MF-Inc. and each received cash of $1,751,000, a note payable for $500,000 and 796,750 shares of MF-Inc. common stock. As a result of this transaction, McCreight and Gallimore each owned approximately 11% of the common equity of MF-Inc. The MFSS shareholders, Ronald Stone and Jerry Stone, received 1,772,880 39 41 and 829,306 shares, respectively, of MF-Inc. common stock, 48.68% and 22.88% respectively, of MF-Inc. common stock as of the date of the merger. In 1997, a note payable of $450,000 by HRC-LLC to a third party was assumed equally by McCreight and Gallimore. A total of $150,000 of such note was repaid to McCreight and Gallimore during 1997. In addition, in 1997, McCreight and Gallimore each received a cash distribution of $625,000 from HRC-LLC. On May 14, 1997, CSR, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CSR Acquisition Corp., an Indiana corporation ("CSRA"), acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc., an Indiana corporation ("CSR-Ind"). As part of the acquisition, William W. Wilkinson and William J. Wilkinson, contributed all of the membership interests of Corporate Staffing Resources, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company ("CSR-LLC"), directly owned by them and shares of capital stock of CSR-Ind with a combined aggregate value of $2,200,000 to CSR, Inc. in exchange for 22,000 shares of 14% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of CSR, Inc. ("CSR, Inc. Preferred Stock") and 22,000 shares of common stock of CSR, Inc. ("CSR, Inc. Common Stock"). Concurrent with such contribution, William E. Simon & Sons, LLC, through certain affiliates, contributed $8,320,000 in cash to CSR, Inc. and as a result of such contribution, received 83,200 shares of CSR, Inc. Preferred Stock and 83,200 shares of CSR, Inc. Common Stock. William E. Simon & Sons, LLC, together with its affiliates, is sometimes referred to herein as "Simon." Each of William W. Wilkinson and William J. Wilkinson also received $8,808,500 in cash. The acquisition agreement also provided for a contingent payment of CSR, Inc. equity be paid to the Wilkinsons if CSR-Ind received certain insurance payments by specified dates (which obligation was satisfied in December 1997 by a cash payment to the Wilkinsons of $ and issuance of shares of CSR, Inc. Common Stock and shares of CSR, Inc. Preferred Stock). Pursuant to the acquisition, CSR, Inc. also agreed to award to William W. Wilkinson up to 11,688 shares of restricted CSR, Inc. Common Stock and to William J. Wilkinson up to 11,687 shares of restricted CSR, Inc. Common Stock, which restricted CSR, Inc. Common Stock, in each case, was subject to certain time vesting requirements. Concurrently with the acquisition, Simon and CSR-LLC entered into an executive management agreement (the "May Management Agreement") pursuant to which, in consideration of certain services being provided by Simon thereunder, CSR-LLC would pay Simon an annual fee (the "Management Fee") equal to $250,000. Immediately after giving effect to the acquisition of CSR-Ind, CSRA merged with and into CSR-Ind, with CSR-Ind being the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSR, Inc. On June 6, 1997, Mellon Ventures, L.P. ("Mellon") acquired 30,000 shares of CSR, Inc. Preferred Stock and 30,000 shares of CSR, Inc. Common Stock from CSR, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000 and Simon acquired 9,075 shares of CSR, Inc. Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $9,075. Concurrent with such purchase, Mellon purchased 26,600 shares of CSR, Inc. Preferred Stock and 26,600 shares of CSR, Inc. Common Stock from Simon for an aggregate purchase price of $2,670,476. On June 6, 1997, the May Management Agreement was amended and restated to provide that an annual Management Fee of $250,000 be paid to Simon and $125,000 to Mellon. Effective December 3, 1997 CSR, Inc., merged with and into The Mega Force Staffing Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MFSC") (the "Acquisition"). MFSC continued as the surviving corporation and the separate existence of CSR, Inc. ceased. In addition, the name of the surviving corporation, MFSC, was changed to Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. (the "Surviving Corporation"). As part of the Acquisition: (i) each share of MFSC Non-Voting Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Acquisition was converted into 0.3994 fully paid and nonassessable shares of MFSC Voting Common Stock; (ii) each share of CSR, Inc. Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition was converted into 5.9871 fully paid and nonassessable shares of MFSC Voting Common Stock; (iii) each share of CSR, Inc. Preferred Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Acquisition was converted into 7.8975 shares fully paid and nonassessable shares of MFSC Voting Common Stock; and (iv) the 258,944 warrants which were, at the time of the Acquisition, exercisable into one share of either MFSC Voting Common Stock or MFSC Non-Voting Common Stock, were automatically converted into 258,944 warrants exercisable into .699718858 shares of MFSC Voting Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.1 per warrant, and such warrants were exercised immediately upon the effective date of the Acquisition. No fractional shares of MFSC Voting Common Stock were issued as part of the Acquisition. In lieu thereof, each shareholder otherwise entitled to 40 42 fractional shares received cash equal to the product of the fraction of an MFSC share to which the shareholder was otherwise entitled multiplied by $10. Immediately following the consummation of the Acquisition, the stockholders of CSR, Inc. prior to the Acquisition including William W. Wilkinson, William J. Wilkinson, Mellon and Simon, owned, in the aggregate, 45.72% of the outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation and the stockholders of MFSC prior to the Acquisition, including McCreight, Gallimore, Ronald Stone and Jerry Stone owned in the aggregate, 54.28% of outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. All holders of common and preferred stock and MFSC Non Voting Common Stock was cancelled and retired pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition.

Pursuant to the Executive Management Agreement, Simon and Mellon provide executive management services, including consultation, advice and direct management assistance with respect to operations, strategic planning, financing and other aspects of the business of the Company. In consideration for the services provided, the Company pays $250,000 per year to Simon and $125,000 per year to Mellon and reimburses reasonable expenses incurred in the provision of such services.

As of the date of this Prospectus, there were shares of Common Stock outstanding, held of record by 25 persons. In addition, on January 29, 1998, there were outstanding options to acquire up to an additional 95,000 shares of Common Stock, and concurrent with the consummation of this offering, options for an additional 250,000 shares will be granted. COMMON STOCK Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote. There are no cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. The shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared and paid by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor and to share, ratably, in the net assets, if any, of the Company upon liquidation. The stockholders have no preemptive rights to purchase any shares of the Company's capital stock. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be, when issued and paid for, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. PREFERRED STOCK From the time the Offering is consummated, the Board of Directors, without further action by the holders of the Common Stock, will be authorized to classify any shares of its authorized but unissued Preferred Stock as preferred stock in one or more series, from time to time. With respect to each series, the Board of Directors shall determine the number of shares which shall constitute such series; the rate of dividend, if any, payable on shares of such series; whether the shares of such series shall be cumulative, non-cumulative or partially cumulative as to dividends, and the dates from which any cumulative dividends are to accumulate; whether the shares of such series may be redeemed, and, if so, the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions on which shares of such series may be redeemed; the amount payable upon shares of such series in the event of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; the sinking fund provisions, if any, for the redemption of shares of such series; the voting rights, if any, of the shares of such series; the terms and conditions, if any, on which shares of such series may be converted into shares of capital stock of the Company of any other class or series; whether the shares of such series are to be preferred over shares of capital stock of the Company of any other class or series as to dividends, or upon the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the affairs of the Company, or otherwise; and any other characteristics, preferences, limitations, rights, privileges, immunities or terms not inconsistent with the provisions of the Charter. The availability of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of discouraging takeover proposals, and the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company not approved by the Board of Directors. ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS OF CHARTER AND BYLAWS Upon the consummation of the Offering, the Company's Charter will provide for a Board of Directors of three classes, with the initial classes having one, two and three year terms, respectively, and thereafter staggered three year terms. Under the Bylaws, the number of directors will be fixed at nine. The Company's Charter will also prohibit actions by the Company's stockholders by written consent. Following the consummation of the Offering, the foregoing provisions of the Charter may be amended or repealed by the stockholders only upon the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon, could have the effect of discouraging takeover proposals and delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company not approved by the Board of Directors. 44 46 STATUTORY BUSINESS COMBINATIONS PROVISION The Company is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Section 203"). Section 203 provides, with certain exceptions, that a Delaware corporation may not engage in any of a broad range of business combinations with a person or an affiliate, or associate of such person, who is an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years from the date that such person becomes an interested stockholder unless: (i) the transaction resulting in a person becoming an interested stockholder, or the business combination, is approved by the Board of Directors of the corporation before the person becomes an interested stockholder; (ii) the interested stockholder acquired 85% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation in the same transaction that makes such person an interested stockholder (excluding shares owned by persons who are both officers and directors of the corporation, and shares held by certain employee stock ownership plans); or (iii) on or after the date the person becomes an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved at an annual or special meeting by the corporation's board of directors and by the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the corporation's outstanding voting stock, excluding shares owned by the interested stockholder. Under Section 203, an "interested stockholder" is defined as any person who is: (i) the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation; or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and who was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to be determined whether such person is an interested stockholder. A corporation may, at its option, exclude itself from the coverage of Section 203 by amending its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, through action of its stockholders, to exempt itself from coverage, provided that such bylaw or certificate of incorporation amendment shall not become effective until 12 months after the date it is adopted. The Company has not adopted such an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. LIMITATION ON DIRECTORS' LIABILITIES Pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and under Delaware law, directors and executive officers of the Company are not liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except liability in connection with a breach of duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, dividend payments or stock repurchases illegal under Delaware law or any transaction in which a director has derived an improper personal benefit. As permitted by Delaware law, the Company will enter into an indemnification agreement with its directors, pursuant to which the Company will agree to pay certain expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred by such directors in connection with certain actions, suits or proceedings. These agreements will require directors to repay the amount of any expenses advanced if it shall be determined that the directors shall not have been entitled to indemnification. Further, the Company maintains liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers. TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Common Stock is Harris Trust and Savings Bank, Chicago, Illinois. 45 47 SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE Upon completion of this offering, the Company will have outstanding shares of Common Stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock in the public market following this offering could adversely affect the market price for the Company's Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock sold in this Offering will be freely tradable without restriction or limitation under the Securities Act, except for shares purchased by "affiliates" (as defined under the Securities Act), which will be subject to the resale limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

In addition, the Company intends, as soon as practicable after the completion of this Offering, to register approximately shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance to its employees, directors, consultants and advisors under the Company's Plan. Options to purchase an aggregate of 345,000 shares of Common Stock will be outstanding under the Plan upon the consummation of this Offering. All directors, executive officers, principal stockholders and certain other officers of the Company, who hold in the aggregate shares of Common Stock (excluding options), have each agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus, without the prior written consent of NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC. However, NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC may, in its sole discretion and at any time without notice, release for public sale all or any portion of these shares subject to such lock-up agreements. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) is entitled to sell restricted shares if at least one year has passed since the later of the time such shares were acquired from the Company or any affiliate of the Company. Rule 144 provides, however, that within any three-month period such person may only sell up to the greater of: (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (approximately shares immediately following this offering); or (ii) the average weekly trading volume in the Common Stock during the four calendar weeks immediately preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the Commission. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner-of-sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the Company. All shares held by persons who are deemed to be affiliates of the Company are subject to the volume limitations and other requirements of Rule 144 regardless of how long the shares have been owned or how they were acquired. Restricted shares held by non-affiliates of the Company for more than two years may be sold without limitation under Rule 144. Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock, and no prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of Common Stock or the availability of shares of Common Stock for future sale will have on the market price of the Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock following this offering, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Common Stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital through an offering of its equity securities. The Company has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the current holders of the Common Stock. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, following this Offering, each of H. Ronald Stone, Mellon Ventures, L.P. and William E. Simon and Sons L.L.C. has the right to make two demands upon the Company to file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of such holder's shares (a "Demand Registration"). The Company is not obligated to effect more than three Demand Registrations within any twelve month period and no holder may make more than one demand during any twelve month period. In addition, the Company may defer the requested registration for up to ninety days after the receipt of a demand for registration. Other current holders of the Common Stock have the right to participate in Demand Registrations and all holders of the Common Stock have the right to participate in certain other registrations of the Common Stock by the Company. The rights to request a Demand Registration shall expire thirty months following the effectiveness of this Offering. Each current stockholder has agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares for a period of 180 days after the effectiveness of this Offering and for ninety days after any registration effected subsequent to this Offering. The Registration Rights Agreement terminates on the tenth anniversary of the closing of this Offering. 46 48 UNDERWRITING The underwriters named below (the "Underwriters"), represented by NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC, BT Alex. Brown Incorporated and The Robinson-Humphrey Company, LLC (the "Representatives"), have severally agreed, subject to the terms and conditions in the underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") by and among the Company and the Underwriters, to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock indicated below opposite its name, at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discount set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus. The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters are subject to certain conditions precedent and that the Underwriters are committed to purchase all of the shares of Common Stock, if they purchase any. NUMBER OF SHARES ---------- NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC....................... BT Alex. Brown Incorporated................................. The Robinson-Humphrey Company, LLC.......................... ---------- Total............................................. ========== The Representatives have advised the Company that the Underwriters propose initially to offer the Common Stock to the public on the terms set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus. The Underwriters may allow selected dealers a concession of not more than $ per share; and the Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession of not more than $ per share to certain other dealers. After the initial public offering, the public offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the Representatives. The Common Stock is offered subject to receipt and acceptance by the Underwriters, and to certain other conditions, including the right to reject orders in whole or in part. The Company has granted an option to the Underwriters, exercisable during the 30-day period after the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to a maximum of additional shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any, at the same price per share as the initial shares to be purchased by the Underwriters. To the extent that the Underwriters exercise such over-allotment option, the Underwriters will be committed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase such additional shares in approximately the same proportion as set forth in the above table. The Underwriters may purchase such shares only to cover over-allotments made in connection with the Offering. The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Company, [its subsidiaries and certain stockholders] will indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act, or will contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. The Company's officers and directors [and substantially all of the stockholders of the Company prior to the Offering] have agreed that during the Lock-up Period they will not, without the prior written consent of NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC, directly or indirectly sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell, pledge, transfer, establish an open put equivalent position or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, options or warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock. The Company also has agreed not to issue, offer, sell, grant options to purchase or otherwise dispose of any of the Company's equity securities during the Lock-up Period without the prior written consent of NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC, except for securities issued by the Company in connection with acquisitions and for grants and exercises of stock options, subject in each case to any remaining portion of the Lock-up Period applying to shares issued or transferred. In evaluating any request for a waiver of the Lock-up Period, NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC will consider, in accordance with its customary practice, all relevant facts and circumstances at the time of the request, including, without limitation, the recent trading market for the Common Stock, the size of the request, and, with respect to a request by the Company to issue additional equity securities, the purpose of such an issuance. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale." 47 49 In connection with the Offering, certain Underwriters and selling group members and their respective affiliates may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Common Stock. Such transactions may include stabilization transactions effected in accordance with Rule 104 of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), pursuant to which such persons may bid for or purchase Common Stock for the purpose of stabilizing its market price. The Underwriters also may create a short position for the account of the Underwriters by selling more Common Stock in connection with the Offering than they are committed to purchase from the Company and, in such case, may purchase Common Stock in the open market following completion of the Offering to cover all or a portion of such short position. The Underwriters may also cover all or a portion of such short position, up to shares of Common Stock, by exercising the Underwriters' over-allotment option referred to above. In addition, NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC, on behalf of the Underwriters, may impose "penalty bids" under contractual arrangements with the Underwriters whereby it may reclaim from an Underwriter (or dealer participating in the Offering), for the account of the other Underwriters, the selling concession with respect to Common Stock that is distributed in the Offering but subsequently purchased for the account of the Underwriters in the open market. Any of the transactions described in this paragraph may result in the maintenance of the price of the Common Stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. None of the transactions described in this paragraph is required, and, if they are undertaken, they may be discontinued at any time. The Representatives have informed the Company that the Underwriters do not expect to make sales of Common Stock offered by this Prospectus to accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority in excess of 5% of the number of shares of Common Stock offered hereby. Prior to the Offering, there has been no public trading market for the Common Stock. Consequently, the initial public offering price of the Common Stock has been determined by negotiations between the Company and the Representatives. Among the factors considered in such negotiations were the results of operations of the Company in recent periods, the prospects for the Company and the industry in which the Company competes, an assessment of the Company's management, its financial condition, the prospects for future earnings of the Company, the present state of the Company's development, the general condition of the economy and the securities markets at the time of the Offering and the market prices of and demand for publicly traded common stock of comparable companies in recent periods. LEGAL MATTERS The legality of the issuance of the Common Stock offered hereby and certain other matters will be passed upon for the Company by Latham & Watkins, Chicago, Illinois. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Underwriters by Winston & Strawn, Chicago, Illinois.

(3) Represents reductions to selling, general and administrative expenses and other operating expenses for expenses of the Company and the Completed Acquisitions that would not have been incurred had the acquisitions been completed at the beginning of the period, primarily compensation paid to stockholders in excess of compensation that would have been payable under their terms of employment agreements entered into connection with the Completed Acquisitions and severance paid to an executive terminated in conjunction with an acquisition. (4) Represents an increase to amortization expense resulting from goodwill recorded as a result of the Completed Acquisitions. The excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired (goodwill) is being amortized over 40 years. The terms of the purchase agreements for certain of the Completed Acquisitions require the Company to pay additional amounts to the sellers if the acquired companies meet certain financial targets. The Company estimates that the total increase in the purchase price from these requirements will not exceed approximately $10.5 million, which would result in additional amortization expense of $262,500 per year. (5) Represents additional interest expense to reflect incremental borrowings under the Company's borrowing facility necessary to finance the Completed Acquisitions, less the reduction in interest expense resulting from repayment of the borrowings of certain of the acquired companies. Interest expense is computed using the Company's weighted average interest rate of 9.2% for the year ended December 31,1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 8.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1998. (6) Represents the elimination of the extraordinary item resulting from the Company's termination of its previous borrowing arrangements in connection with the refinancing that occurred in December 1997. (7) Reflects the issuance of additional shares of common stock in connection with certain of the Completed Acquisitions. (8) Represents the elimination of certain expenses related to management fees and consulting fees subject to certain agreements which will be terminated upon consummation of the Offering. (9) Represents the reduction in interest expense resulting from the Company repaying outstanding borrowings under its credit agreement and shareholder notes with proceeds from the Offering. (10) Reflects the federal and state income tax effects of the above adjustments, excluding the portion of the goodwill related to the Completed Acquisitions which is nondeductible for federal and state tax purposes. (11) Reflects the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock in connection with the public offering described in this Prospectus. F-10 61 CORPORATE STAFFING RESOURCES, INC.

F-13 64 CORPORATE STAFFING RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (individually and collectively referred to as the "Company"). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997, included elsewhere in this Prospectus. 2. ACQUISITIONS During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company acquired two staffing companies for a combined purchase price of approximately $12 million. In addition, in connection with these acquisitions the Company entered into earnout agreements which could result in additional purchase price of approximately $7.5 million over the next three years based upon the achievement of certain operating results, as defined. The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method, and the operating results of the companies acquired have been included in the Company's 1998 consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition. The excess of the combined purchase price over the cost of acquired net assets ("goodwill") of $10.8 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Subsequent to March 31, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of an additional staffing company. The initial purchase price of this acquisition was approximately $15.5 million ($10.5 million cash and $5 million in subordinated notes), which could be increased by a contingent earnout not expected to exceed approximately $3 million over 3 years based upon the achievement of certain operating results, as defined. The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method and the operating results will be included in the Company's 1998 consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The goodwill of approximately $13.6 million will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. As more fully disclosed in Note 2 to the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997, included elsewhere in this Prospectus, in March 1997, the Company acquired The Hamilton-Ryker Company, LLC and in December 1997, the Company acquired CSR, Inc. Certain costs associated with these acquisitions were paid during the three months ended March 31, 1998. F-14 65 CORPORATE STAFFING RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The following table presents, on an unaudited pro forma basis, a condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1998, giving effect to the acquisition occurring subsequent to March 31, 1998, as if it had occurred on that date. All other acquisitions discussed above are reflected in the Company's March 31, 1998 historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. MARCH 31, 1998 -------------- (IN THOUSANDS) Current assets.............................................. $30,145 Property and equipment...................................... 3,023 Other assets................................................ 64,541 ------- Total assets...................................... 97,709 ======= Current liabilities......................................... 17,771 Long-term debt.............................................. 50,838 Other liabilities........................................... 166 Shareholders' equity........................................ 28,934 ------- Total liabilities and shareholders' equity........ $97,709 ======= The following unaudited pro forma results for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 were developed assuming all acquisitions discussed above had been completed at the beginning of each of the periods described below. For both periods, the unaudited pro forma results are after giving effect to certain adjustments, including interest expense, amortization of intangibles, add back of excess compensation paid to shareholders of certain companies and assuming all entities had been C Corporations for the entirety of the three month periods. FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED ----------------------- MARCH 31, MARCH 31, 1997 1998 ---------- ---------- (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) Total revenues.............................................. $48,541 $61,286 Net income.................................................. 366 513 Net income per share (Basic and diluted).................... $ .04 $ .05 The unaudited pro forma data shown above is not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results that would have occurred had the acquisitions taken place at the beginning of each period shown. On May 15, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of an additional staffing company for approximately $3.8 million cash. The acquired company had revenues of approximately $6.2 million during the year ended December 31, 1997. The pro forma information shown above does not reflect this acquisition as results would not differ materially from those shown. 3. INCOME TAXES The Company was formed on January 1, 1997 as the successor to a group of ten operating corporations which were controlled and managed by two related shareholders and which operated under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Upon formation, the Company elected to be taxable as a C Corporation and accordingly adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Upon electing to be taxable as a C Corporation and adopting SFAS No. 109, F-15 66 CORPORATE STAFFING RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) the Company established a net deferred tax liability of $284,000 representing the tax effect of cumulative temporary differences as of January 1, 1997. 4. STOCK OPTIONS On January 29, 1998, the Company adopted the Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") for key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under the Option Plan, not more than 1,500,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance upon exercise of the options. Options granted under the Option Plan expire after ten years and the exercise price and vesting period are set by the Company's Board of Directors at the date of grant. On January 29, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors granted options to purchase 95,000 shares at the then estimated fair value of $8.00 per share. The options become exercisable ratably over a three year period. There were no exercises or forfeitures during the three months ended March 31, 1998. At March 31, 1998 there were 95,000 options outstanding with a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 9.83 years of which none were exercisable. The Company is accounting for the options according to the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" have been adopted and accordingly the appropriate disclosures will be made in the December 31, 1998 financial statements of the Company. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the Company accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for the three months ended March 31, 1998: risk-free interest rate of 6%, no expected dividends, a volatility factor of .5 and a weighted average expected life of the options of 3 years. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 --------------------- (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) Pro forma net income........................................ $ 483 Pro forma earnings per share Basic..................................................... $0.05 Diluted................................................... $0.05 5. EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company computes earnings per share under SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" which requires the Company to present basic and diluted earnings per share. F-16 67 CORPORATE STAFFING RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of stock options. During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the dilutive effect of stock options increased the weighted average number of shares of common stock considered to be outstanding by 15,000 shares. During the three months ended March 31, 1997, 561,564 shares of common stock issued under warrants are considered to have been issued on January 1, 1997. 6. PENDING ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the reporting and disclosure of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 131 changes the manner in which public companies report segment information in annual reports and requires companies to report selected segment information in interim financial reports. The Company will be required to report financial and descriptive information about its operating segments. Both these statements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with reclassification of the financial statements for earlier periods required for comparative purposes. The Company plans to adopt these statements, to the extent they are applicable, for its year ending December 31, 1998. SFAS No. 130 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's historical financial statements, as comprehensive income will equal reported net income. The Company is evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 131. F-17 68 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors and Shareholders Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

F-22 73 CORPORATE STAFFING RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1997 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. (the "Company"), formerly known as Mega Force Staffing Companies, Inc., operates in one business segment as a provider of diversified staffing, professional and consulting services to businesses, professional and services organizations and governmental agencies. The Company offers these services throughout the United States. Mega Force Staffing Companies, Inc. is the successor to The Mega Force Group, a group of ten operating corporations which were controlled and managed by two related shareholders. The accompanying financial statements for 1995 and 1996 are not those of a separate legal entity, but represent the combined operations of the ten operating corporations. Effective January 1, 1997, all of these corporations were merged into Mega Force Staffing Companies, Inc., with ownership being retained by the same two related shareholders. On December 3, 1997, Mega Force Staffing Companies, Inc. acquired CSR, Inc. and changed its name to Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. Effective with this merger, the Company formed two of its three wholly owned subsidiaries, Mega Force Staffing Services, Inc. and CSR, Inc. The Company's third wholly owned subsidiary, The Hamilton-Ryker Company, Inc., was acquired on March 12, 1997. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its three wholly owned subsidiaries. All 1997 significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the 1995 and 1996 combined financial statements. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to seven years. Property and equipment consists of the following: DECEMBER 31, ------------------------- 1996 1997 ---------- ----------- Office furniture and equipment............................. $1,209,052 $ 3,000,678 Leasehold improvements..................................... 308,593 576,013 ---------- ----------- 1,517,645 3,576,691 Accumulated depreciation................................... (947,601) (1,398,901) ---------- ----------- $ 570,044 $ 2,177,790 ========== =========== Goodwill The Company has classified as goodwill the cost in excess of fair value of the net assets acquired in purchase transactions. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over forty years. Amortization F-23 74 CORPORATE STAFFING RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) charged to operations amounted to $73,389, $21,105 and $388,425 in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively, of which $12,331, $21,105 and $304,753 was attributable to goodwill amortization. Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized as income in the period the related services are provided. Income Taxes During 1995 and 1996, the operating companies of the Mega Force Group were primarily entities subject to the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and, consequently, were not subject to federal income tax; rather the shareholders were liable for individual income taxes on their respective share of taxable income. Accordingly, the statements of income for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 do not include a provision for federal and state income taxes. A pro forma provision for federal and state income taxes is presented as if the Company were taxed as a C corporation for the entirety of all periods presented. Effective January 1, 1997, the Company began operating under the provisions of Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, the Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method as prescribed by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The liability method recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Advertising Expense The cost of advertising is expensed when incurred. The Company incurred advertising expense of $270,326, $240,810 and $367,782 in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company's principal financial instrument subject to potential concentration of credit risk is accounts receivable which are unsecured. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management's evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts. Because of the short-term maturity of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable, their carrying amounts approximate fair value. The carrying value of notes payable to shareholders approximates fair value based upon the Company's current effective borrowing rate. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company regularly evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred which may indicate that the carrying amount of intangible or other long-lived assets warrant revision or may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that an asset or assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, an evaluation would be performed pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." If an evaluation is required, the estimated future F-24 75 CORPORATE STAFFING RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be compared to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow value is required. Management considers the intangible and other long-lived assets to be fully recoverable as of December 31, 1997. Cash Flows and Noncash Activities For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flow, cash and cash equivalents include cash, cash investments and any highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company's acquisitions of subsidiaries and associated financing transactions included certain noncash activities (See Note 3). Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and disclosure of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 131 changes the manner in which public companies report segment information in annual reports and requires companies to report selected segment information in interim financial reports. The Company will be required to report financial and descriptive information about its operating segments. Both these statements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with reclassification of the financial statements for earlier periods required for comparative purposes. The Company plans to adopt these statements, to the extent they are applicable, for its year ending December 31, 1998. SFAS No. 130 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's historical financial statements, as comprehensive income will equal reported net income. The Company is evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 131. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and, accordingly, accounts for its stock option plan under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Through December 31, 1997, the Company had not granted any stock options. 3. ACQUISITIONS Business Combinations On March 12, 1997, the Company acquired all of the membership interests of The Hamilton-Ryker Company, LLC, a company located in Tennessee which provides temporary personnel services. Total consideration was approximately $10,876,000, consisting of: (i) $3,502,000 in cash; (ii) $1,000,000 in certain notes payable to sellers; and (iii) 1,593,500 shares of common stock of the Company. On March 17, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Data Resources, Inc., a company located in North Carolina which provides temporary personnel services. Total consideration consisted of approximately $600,000 in cash. On December 3, 1997, the Company acquired the stock of CSR, Inc., a company located in Indiana which provides temporary personnel services for total consideration of approximately $22,125,000 consisting of 4,425,002 shares of common stock. All of the above business combinations have been accounted for as purchases and the results of operations have been included in the accompanying financial statements since the respective dates of the acquisitions. Costs in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired ("goodwill") is being amortized using F-25 76 CORPORATE STAFFING RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) the straight-line method over forty years. Unaudited pro forma financial information for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 is presented in Note 14. 4. OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company incurred operating expenses aggregating $1,158,301 which consisted primarily of severance paid to two former executives of the Company and amounts paid to a third former executive. These expenses are presented as other operating expenses in the statements of operations. 5. LINE OF CREDIT During 1996 the Company maintained a $5,500,000 line of credit with a bank, bearing interest at the bank's prime rate (8.25% at December 31, 1996) plus 1/2%. Collateral was provided by a security agreement covering all personal property, including accounts receivable, property and equipment and personal guarantees of the shareholders. Borrowings under this line of credit were $3,421,741 at December 31, 1996. Borrowings under this line of credit were repaid in full on March 12, 1997. 6. LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consists of the following: DECEMBER 31, ----------------------- 1996 1997 -------- ----------- Borrowings under revolving credit agreement................. $ -- $26,966,755 Other....................................................... 126,229 100,971 -------- ----------- Total....................................................... 126,229 27,067,726 Less current portion........................................ (48,670) (31,362) -------- ----------- Long-term portion........................................... $ 77,559 $27,036,364 ======== =========== Aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the years subsequent to December 31, 1997 are as follows: 1998............................................ $ 31,362 1999............................................ 22,586 2000............................................ 16,039 2001............................................ 26,983,125 2002 and thereafter............................. 14,614 ----------- $27,067,726 =========== On March 12, 1997, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility with a new lender permitting advances of up to $25,000,000. The revolving credit facility bore interest at prime (8.5% at December 31, 1997) plus 1 1/2% for the Base Rate Loans, and LIBOR (5.9% at December 31, 1997) plus 3 1/2% for the Eurodollar loans, and was collateralized by primarily all accounts receivable and equipment of the Company. In connection with the credit facility, the Company issued a warrant to the lender to purchase 517,888 shares of the Company's common stock for $0.005 per share. Upon issuance, the Company recorded the estimated value of this warrant of $2,068,963 as additional paid in capital and related debt discount. The debt discount was amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan using the straight-line method. In connection with the Company's acquisition of CSR, Inc. on December 3, 1997, the number of shares subject to the warrant was reduced to 363,176. F-26 77 CORPORATE STAFFING RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) On December 3, 1997, the Company entered into a new loan agreement to refinance the existing agreement. As a result of this early extinguishment, the Company recorded in the accompanying financial statements, net of related income tax benefit, an extraordinary loss of $1,672,184 which consists of the difference between the principal amount and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt. The net carrying amount on December 3, 1997 reflected the unpaid amount of the debt along with the unamortized amount of the related debt discount and deferred debt issuance costs. All of the warrants issued in connection with the extinguished debt were exercised by the lender in 1997. Also in connection with the March 1997 credit facility, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 198,388 shares of the Company's stock at $0.005 per share. This warrant was exercisable by the lender in the event the Company's borrowings under the credit facility exceeded $20,000,000 at any point in time. In the event the credit facility never reached that level, the warrants became exercisable by two of the Company's shareholders. As a result of the extinguishment of the debt discussed above, the warrants became exercisable by the two stockholders and were exercised on December 3, 1997. On December 3, 1997, the Company entered into a new revolving credit agreement with two banks providing loans or letters of credit of up to $50 million through December 3, 2001. Borrowings under the credit agreement are collateralized by all of the Company's accounts receivable, equipment and intangibles as well as a pledge of the Company's stock. The agreement provides for advances under a Base Rate loan or a Eurodollar loan plus an applicable margin as defined in the loan agreement depending on the pricing option selected by the Company. On May 14, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with the banks to increase availability under the agreement from $50 million to $75 million. Additionally, a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum is payable on any unused portion of the credit facility. The revolving credit agreement contains restrictive covenants relating to leverage ratios, requirements for limitations on future acquisitions and declaration of dividends. The Company has entered into a standby letter of credit agreement in the amount of $1,363,000 relating to workers' compensation self-insurance requirements. 7. WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE Through December 31, 1997, the Company maintained separate workers' compensation programs for each of its subsidiaries. The Hamilton-Ryker Company, which was acquired on March 12, 1997, was fully-insured by a commercial insurance carrier for all workers' compensation claims for the period March 12, 1997, through December 31,1997. CSR, Inc. which was acquired on December 3, 1997, maintained an insurance plan whereby CSR, Inc. retained the first $250,000 of exposure per occurrence with an annual aggregate loss exposure of approximately $1.6 million. Mega Force Staffing Services, Inc. (and the Mega Force Group prior to January 1, 1997) maintained an insurance program whereby they retained the first $250,000 of exposure per occurrence with an annual aggregate exposure of approximately $2.3 million. Mega Force Staffing Services, Inc. was required to make periodic deposits to a loss fund (which accrues interest at a rate of 5%) from which their workers' compensation claims will be paid by a third party administrator. At December 31, 1996, and 1997, the loss fund had a balance of $860,236 and $2,112,689, respectively, available to fund future claims, which is included as a current asset under the caption insurance loss fund in the accompanying balance sheets. The Company has recorded a reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses related to the programs of CSR, Inc. and Mega Force Staffing Services, Inc. of $695,000 and $2,054,785 at December 31, 1996 and 1997 respectively, which includes an actuarially determined reserve for incurred but unreported losses. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in loss severity and frequency, and could vary significantly from F-27 78 CORPORATE STAFFING RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) the amounts reported at December 31, 1996 and 1997. Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, management believes that the workers' compensation insurance reserve is adequate. However, there can be no assurance that the Company's actual future obligations will not exceed the amount of the reserve. 8. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Recapitalization Effective January 1, 1997, the ten existing operating companies comprising The Mega Force Group were merged together forming Mega Force Staffing Companies, Inc. The ownership both prior to and after the merger was retained by the two related shareholders. Earnings per Share The Company computes earnings per share under SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" which requires the Company to present basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. The only common stock equivalents outstanding during the year ended December 31, 1997 were the warrants discussed in Note 6. For purposes of diluted earnings per share, the shares issued under the warrants of 561,564 are considered to have been issued on January 1, 1997. The number of shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 1997 for the year ended December 31, 1997 were 5,061,306 and 5,579,791, respectively. 9. 401(K) SAVINGS PLANS The Company established defined contribution plans under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering certain employees who meet specified criteria. The Company matches 50% of employee contributions up to 4% of the respective employee's annual salary. Employer contributions were $31,600, $28,125 and $75,561 in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. 10. LEASES The Company leases office space under various noncancelable and month-to-month operating leases with related and unrelated parties. Future minimum lease payments for noncancelable operating leases with initial terms of one year or more are as follows at December 31, 1997: 1998............................................. $1,552,948 1999............................................. 955,135 2000............................................. 559,721 2001............................................. 275,177 2002............................................. 35,230 ---------- Total future minimum lease payments.............. $3,378,211 ========== Rent expense totaled approximately $642,000, $633,000 and $1,065,000 in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $135,000, $211,000 and $218,000 in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively, represented rent paid to a shareholder. 11. INCOME TAXES The Company was formed on January 1, 1997 as the successor to a group of ten operating corporations which were controlled and managed by two related shareholders and which operated under Subchapter S of F-28 79 CORPORATE STAFFING RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) the Internal Revenue Code. Upon formation, the Company elected to be taxed as a C Corporation and accordingly adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Upon electing to be taxed as a C Corporation and adopting SFAS No. 109, the Company established a net deferred tax liability of $284,000 representing the tax effect of cumulative temporary differences as of January 1, 1997. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities consisted of the following at December 31, 1997: Deferred tax liabilities: Transaction costs and other............................... $ 65,000 Goodwill.................................................. 96,000 Depreciation.............................................. 5,000 ---------- Total deferred tax liabilities.............................. $ 166,000 ========== Deferred tax assets: Allowance for bad debts................................... $ 93,000 Accrued vacation.......................................... 20,000 Other current liabilities................................. 229,000 Accrued workers' compensation............................. 778,000 ---------- Total current deferred tax assets........................... $1,120,000 ========== The components of income tax expense are as follows: Current: Federal................................................... $ 828,000 State..................................................... 122,000 ---------- Total current............................................... 950,000 ---------- Deferred: Federal................................................... 835,000 State..................................................... 119,000 ---------- Total deferred.............................................. 954,000 ---------- Total income tax expense.................................... $1,904,000 ========== Following is a reconciliation of the 1997 provision for income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate (34%) to the reported provision for income taxes: AMOUNT % ----------- ---- Income taxes on income before extraordinary item at federal statutory rate............................................ $ 1,260,000 34.0 State taxes, net of federal benefit......................... 180,000 4.9 Nondeductible goodwill...................................... 170,000 4.6 Other, net.................................................. 10,000 0.3 Conversion from S Corporation to C Corporation at January 1, 1997...................................................... 284,000 7.6 ----------- ---- Provision for income taxes.................................. $ 1,904,000 51.4 =========== ==== F-29 80 CORPORATE STAFFING RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 12. OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company has notes payable to shareholders of $2,423,833 at December 31, 1997, which bear interest at 8.0%. Of these notes, annual payments of $150,000 are due during 1998 and 1999. The remaining notes outstanding, which are payable on demand, are classified as long-term as the shareholders do not have the ability or intent to call the notes during the subsequent year as these notes are subordinate to borrowings on the Company's new revolving credit facility. Notes payable to shareholders totaling $2,000,000 at December 31, 1996 were repaid in full during 1997. Interest expense on notes to related parties totaled approximately $1,400 and $183,000 during 1996 and 1997, respectively. At December 31, 1996 and 1997, notes receivable from shareholders, which bear interest at 7.0%, totaled $422,277 and $560,100, respectively, and are due on December 31, 2002. On December 3, 1997, the Company purchased 321,888 shares of common stock from two stockholders for consideration of $1,609,440 in cash. These shares, along with 5,100 shares of treasury stock existing at December 31 1996, were retired by the Company during 1997. Also on December 3, 1997 a cash distribution of $1,090,560 was made to the same two stockholders. 13. CONTINGENCIES The Company is engaged in certain legal and administrative proceedings incidental to its normal business activities. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of those actions at this time, in the opinion of management and counsel, it is unlikely that the outcome of such litigation and other proceedings, will have a material adverse effect on the results of the Company's operations or on its financial position or cash flows. 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On February 25, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved, by written consent, the increase of authorized shares of common stock to 15,000,000, all of which was common stock with a par value of $0.01. In addition, by the same consent, the Board of Directors approved a 2-for-1 stock split of each outstanding share of common stock. The authorization of the common stock and the effects of the stock split have been reflected retroactively in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as if they had been consummated at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Board of Directors also authorized and the stockholders of the Company approved and adopted a stock option plan. A total of 1,500,000 shares of common stock are authorized and reserved for issuance under this plan. Options granted under the plan may be either in the form of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. On January 29, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors granted nonqualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 95,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share. The options have a term of 10 years and vest over 3 years. Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the Company acquired three staffing companies for a combined purchase price of approximately $27.5 million. In addition, in connection with these acquisitions, the Company entered into earnout agreements which could result in additional purchase price of approximately $10.5 million over the next three years based upon the achievement of certain operating results by the acquired operations, as defined. The acquisitions will be accounted for using the purchase method, and the operating F-30 81 CORPORATE STAFFING RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) results of the companies acquired will be included in the Company's 1998 consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition. The excess of the combined purchase price over the cost of acquired net assets ("goodwill") of $25.2 million will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The following unaudited pro forma results for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 were developed assuming all acquisitions discussed above, as well as those discussed in Note 3, had been completed at the beginning of each of the periods described below. For both periods, the unaudited pro forma results are after giving effect to certain adjustments, including interest expense, amortization of intangibles, add back of excess compensation paid to shareholders of certain companies and assuming all entities had been C Corporations for the entirety of the three month periods.

The acquired company had revenues of approximately $6.2 million during the year ended December 31, 1997. The pro forma information shown above does not reflect this acquisition as results would not differ materially from those shown. F-31 82 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Board of Directors CSR, Inc. and Subsidiaries South Bend, Indiana We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CSR, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 3, 1997 and May 14, 1997 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the period from May 15, 1997 through December 3, 1997, and the consolidated balance sheet of the Predecessor as of December 31, 1996 and the statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows of the Predecessor for the period from January 1, 1997 through May 14, 1997 and for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

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.

F-36 87 CSR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES AND PREDECESSOR NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 -- NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CSR, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc., Corporate Staffing Resources, LLC and Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. of St. Louis. The financial statements of December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the statements of income and cash flows for the period from January 1, 1997 through May 14, 1997 represent the results of the predecessor. The balance sheet at May 14, 1997 and the financial statements of December 3, 1997 represent the results of the successor Company. The Company is a regional employee staffing organization with emphasis in skilled light industrial, clerical and outplacement on a regional basis and information technology staffing on a national basis. On May 14, 1997, CSR, Inc., a newly formed corporation, acquired 100% of the stock of Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. The former shareholders of Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc., own 20% of the common stock of CSR, Inc. This transaction was accounted for as a purchase. The equity of CSR, Inc. includes 20% of the carryover basis in net assets of Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. Subsequent to the transaction Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. changed its name to Corporate Staffing Resources of Indiana, Inc. The total purchase price amounted to approximately $20,381,000 of which $17,617,000 was paid in cash to shareholders. The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by approximately $14,900,000. The consolidated balance sheet as of May 14, 1997 presents the financial position of CSR, Inc. and Subsidiaries immediately subsequent to the purchase. During 1995, Corporate Staffing Resources of St. Louis, Inc. was contributed by its shareholders to Corporate Staffing Resources, LLC. Also during 1995, Corporate Staffing Resources of Sturgis, Inc. and Corporate Staffing Resources of Tennessee, Inc., formerly affiliated companies, were merged into the Company. These transactions were accounted for at historical cost as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, all consolidated financial statements reflect the transactions as effective as of the beginning of the year. The distributions for 1995 of $241,918 were all paid by the merged companies prior to the actual merger date. NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Estimates and Assumptions: The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accrual for workers' compensation expenditures and the estimate of amortization on the goodwill require the use of significant estimates. The Company believes the techniques and assumptions used in establishing these amounts are appropriate. Revenue Recognition: Service revenues are recognized as income at the time staffing services are provided. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is provided for the amount not probable of collection. Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment: Furniture, fixtures and office equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Intangible Assets: Intangible assets consist of the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets (goodwill) acquired from Corporate Staffing Resources, Inc. and loan issuance costs. The goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Goodwill is periodically assessed for impairment based on undiscounted projected cash flows. The loan issuance costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related loans. F-37 88 CSR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES AND PREDECESSOR NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Workers' Compensation: A liability is recorded for workers' compensation claims when amounts to be paid can be reasonably estimated. Income Taxes: Income taxes are provided based on the liability method of accounting pursuant to ("SFAS") No. 109 which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets consist primarily of the tax effects of accrued expenses. Advertising Expense: The cost of advertising is expensed when incurred. The Company incurred advertising expense of $419,524 for the year ended December 31, 1995, $531,327 for the year ended December 31, 1996, $288,498 for the period ended May 14, 1997 and $540,294 for the period ended December 3, 1997. Reclassifications: Certain items in the financial statements from prior years have been reclassified to conform with current presentation.

AND SUBSIDIARIES AND PREDECESSOR NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The interest rates for all of the above debt are based on periodic elections made by the Company and are at a rate related to the prime rate or LIBOR and are subject to change depending upon the Company's attainment of certain financial ratios. All of the above debt is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and life insurance policies on certain officers. In conjunction with the merger (Note 13), another financial institution refinanced all of the Company debt which is reflected in the above classification of long-term debt. As of December 3, 1997 the Company had an outstanding letter of credit of $663,000. Prior to May 15, 1997, the Company maintained a revolving credit facility with a bank which enabled it to borrow up to the lesser of $5,000,000 or a percentage of the Company's accounts receivable. Interest was payable at the bank's prime rate plus .5% depending upon the Company's attainment of certain financial ratios. The line was secured by accounts receivable and furniture, fixtures and equipment and matured May 31, 1998. Debt is due over the next five years as follows: DECEMBER 3, 1997 ---------------- 1998........................................ $ 833,334 1999........................................ 1,150,000 2000........................................ 1,300,000 2001........................................ 1,600,000 2002........................................ 1,900,000 NOTE 5 -- INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes in the accompanying balance sheet consist of the following: DECEMBER 31, MAY 14, DECEMBER 3, 1996 1997 1997 ------------ -------- ----------- Deferred tax assets............................... $65,000 $143,000 $176,382 Deferred tax liabilities.......................... -- -- -- There is no provision for a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.

Shares of common stock were purchased at $1 per share which was considered fair market value. The shares are subject to a stock restriction agreement. As of December 3, 1997 all committed shares were purchased. NOTE 7 -- RETIREMENT PLAN During 1996, the Company implemented a defined contribution plan covering substantially all of its employees. Eligible employees may contribute a percentage of their compensation to this plan, and their contributions are matched by the Company on a discretionary basis. Total costs under this plan was approximately $17,800 for the year ended December 31, 1996, $12,122 for the period ended May 14, 1997, and $11,403 for the period ended December 3, 1997. NOTE 8 -- WARRANTS, PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCK Pursuant to the acquisition, the Company issued $.01 par common stock warrants to the debt holder that entitled them to purchase 4,235 shares of common stock for a nominal amount. Subsequently, in June 1997, a note for $3,000,000 was paid in full reducing the amount of warrants eligible to 1,810 shares. All warrants had been exercised at December 3, 1997. The value of the warrants was considered nominal based on the belief of management and representations by the holders. In addition, the Company entered into an agreement that entitles a shareholder to purchase 9,075 shares of common stock for $1 per share. These shares were purchased during the period ended December 3, 1997. The preferred stock is redeemable at the Company's option with debt holders approval at $99 per share. The preferred stock also has a liquidation preference at $99 per share. As a result of the merger (Note 13) the preferred shareholders converted all their shares and accumulated dividends of approximately $1,050,000 into common stock. Common stock consisted of the following: DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, MAY 14, DECEMBER 3, 1995 1996 1997 1997 ------------ ------------ --------- ----------- Shares issued and outstanding........ 150 150 110,000 183,050 Par value............................

AND SUBSIDIARIES AND PREDECESSOR NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) NOTE 9 -- LEASE COMMITMENTS The Company has entered into various lease agreements for the use of its facilities. The leases expire at various times through fiscal year 2000 with total monthly payments of approximately $76,000, plus insurance and property taxes for the facilities. Total lease expense under these agreements for the periods ended December 31, 1995, December 31, 1996, May 14, 1997 and December 3, 1997 were approximately $428,000, $475,000, $258,000 and $359,000, respectively. Minimum rental provisions over the terms of the leases are approximately as follows: DECEMBER 3, 1997 ---------------- 1998........................................ $ 666,000 1999........................................ 248,000 2000........................................ 92,000 ---------- $1,006,000 ========== NOTE 10 -- CONTINGENCIES In addition to workers' compensation claims, the Company is a defendant in certain legal actions or claims arising from normal business activities primarily related to employment matters. Legal counsel is unable to determine the likelihood of loss or the amount, if any, to be incurred by the Company in settlement of these claims. Accordingly, the probability of loss is undeterminable, and no provision has been recorded. It is reasonably possible that this estimate may change. NOTE 11 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Effective May 14, 1997 the Company entered into an agreement with a shareholder that requires an annual base fee of $250,000 plus expenses in exchange for consulting services through May 2002. The expense for these services was $139,454 for the period ended December 3, 1997. NOTE 12 -- SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW DISCLOSURES DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, MAY 14, DECEMBER 3, 1995 1996 1997 1997 ------------ ------------ -------- ----------- Cash paid during the period for Interest............................ $236,016 $226,607 $ 78,371 $542,401 Income taxes........................ 347,860 492,836 366,869 726,744 Effective May 14, 1997, the Company issued 4,800 shares of common and preferred stock in satisfaction of a loan financing fee of $480,000.

Also, a note payable-shareholder of approximately $26,000 was contributed to the Company as additional paid in capital. NOTE 13 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Effective December 3, 1997 the Company merged with another staffing company Mega Force Staffing Companies, Inc. (Mega Force). Costs expended by the Company in connection with the merger that are the responsibility of Mega Force are recorded as an asset at December 3, 1997, and are to be reimbursed. F-41 92 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors and Members The Hamilton-Ryker Company, LLC We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of The Hamilton-Ryker Company, LLC ("the Company") as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the related statements of income and members' capital and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company'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.

See accompanying notes. F-46 97 THE HAMILTON-RYKER COMPANY, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business The Hamilton-Ryker Company, LLC (the "Company") is a human resource staffing company. The Company operates primarily in Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi and Missouri serving predominantly the clerical and light industrial markets. The Company was formed for the purpose of continuing the operations of Myron Services, Inc., Temp Team, Inc. and Hamryk Services, Inc., all of which were involved in the staffing services industry. In connection with the formation of the Company, a portion of the shareholders' equity of the predecessor companies was recapitalized into a $2,746,337 note payable to the members. In March 1997, the Company ceased operating as a limited liability company when the members exchanged 100% of their interests for ownership in Mega Force Staffing Companies Inc. (Note 7). Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company's principal financial instrument subject to potential concentration of credit risk is accounts receivable which are unsecured. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to estimated losses expected to be incurred in the collection of accounts receivable. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 7 years. Depreciation expense was $56,665 and $137,907 in 1995 and 1996, respectively. Advertising Expense The cost of advertising is expensed when incurred. The Company incurred advertising expense of $129,309 and $115,355 in 1995 and 1996, respectively. Intangible Assets Intangible assets consists primarily of goodwill and capitalized professional fees related to a business acquisition. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over forty years. Amortization expense was $0 and $5,188 in 1995 and 1996, respectively. Related Party Transactions The Company routinely transacts business with various individuals that are members of the Company. In 1995 and 1996, the Company paid $858,000 and $394,000, respectively, of management fees to a related party. Receivable from shareholder of $217,945 at December 31, 1995 represents an unsecured, non-interest bearing obligation and has no fixed repayment schedule. Income Taxes During 1995, the Company operated under the provisions of Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, the Company accounted for income taxes using the liability method as prescribed by SFAS No. 109 F-47 98 THE HAMILTON-RYKER COMPANY, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) "Accounting for Income Taxes." The liability method recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Effective January 1, 1997, the Company began operating under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code, and consequently, was not subject to federal income tax; rather the shareholders were liable for individual income taxes on their respective share of taxable income. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts. Because of the short-term maturity of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable, their carrying amounts approximate fair value. The fair value of notes payable is based upon the Company's effective current borrowing rate for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. 2. ACQUISITION On October 30, 1996, the Company acquired the assets of CM Management Services, a human resource staffing company for $1,300,000. The Company accounted for the acquisition under the purchase method of accounting and recorded $1,183,145 of related goodwill. The results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 included the results of operations from the purchased business from the date of acquisition. The business combination agreement provides for contingent cash consideration to be paid on an annual basis over the next three years if certain earnings levels are achieved. 3. LINE-OF-CREDIT The Company maintains a $1,350,000 line of credit facility with a bank due on demand or February 1997. The agreement is a closed end credit facility in which the Company can borrow up to the maximum amount once. The facility bears interest at the prime rate plus 0.75% (9% at December 31, 1996). The facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets and is personally guaranteed by members of the Company. Borrowings under the facility were $850,000 at December 31, 1996. Additionally, the Company maintains a $850,000 line of credit facility with a bank, due on demand or February 1997. The facility bears interest at the prime rate plus 0.75% (9% at December 31, 1996). The facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets and is personally guaranteed by the members of the Company. There were no borrowings under the facility at December 31, 1996. F-48 99 THE HAMILTON-RYKER COMPANY, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 4.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Profit Sharing Plans The Companies maintain a contributory profit-sharing plan with 401(k) provisions for the benefit of all eligible fulltime employees. The Companies match 25% of the first 6% of employee contributions. Contributions were approximately $44,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. Deferred Compensation Obligations Effective January 1, 1994, the Companies entered into deferred compensation agreements with certain key employees which provide benefits payable over a ten-year period commencing at retirement as defined in the agreement. Under certain circumstances, including death, total disability or a change in ownership control of the Companies, the payment of the benefit would be accelerated. The accumulated benefit of the agreements as of December 31, 1997 was $176,000, of which $21,000 was vested. The net present value of the accumulated benefit as of December 31, 1997 was not material to the combined financial statements and no liability has been recorded. The Companies have purchased life insurance policies to fund a portion of this obligation. Effective December 14, 1995, CMS/TemPro of Indianapolis, Inc. entered into a deferred compensation agreement with a key executive which provides benefits payable either in a lump sum amount or over a fifteen-year period commencing at retirement as defined in the agreement. Under certain circumstances, including death, total disability, or a change in ownership control of the Company, payment of the benefit would be accelerated. The accumulated and vested benefit of the agreement as of December 31, 1997 was approximately $111,000. The Company has purchased life insurance policies to fund a portion of this obligation. Incentive Pay The Companies have an incentive plan pursuant to which certain members of management and key employees receive discretionary and formula driven incentive pay principally based upon the achievement by the Companies of annual performance goals. 7. INCOME TAXES CMS Management Services Co., TemPro Resources, Inc. and CMS Services, Inc., with the consent of their stockholders, have elected to have their income taxed under Section 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code and a similar section of the state tax laws which provide that, in lieu of corporation income taxes, the stockholders account for their proportionate shares of the Companies' items of income, deduction, losses, and credits. Also, CMS/TemPro of Nashville, LLC is a limited liability company and its members account for F-62 113 CMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) their proportionate shares of the Company's items of income, deduction, losses, and credits. Therefore, these statements do not include any provision for income taxes for these entities. The amount of net income included in the combined statement of income related to these entities was approximately $295,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. For CMS/TemPro of Indianapolis, Inc., deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. This entity files its income tax returns under the cash basis method. Therefore, the composition of the deferred tax assets and liabilities in the accompanying combined balance sheet at December 31, 1997 primarily relates to the difference between the accrual basis of reporting for financial statement purposes and the cash basis of reporting for income tax purposes and consist of the following: Gross deferred tax assets: Accrued expenses.......................................... $ 20,000 Deferred compensation..................................... 44,000 Net operating losses...................................... 21,000 --------- 85,000 --------- Gross deferred tax liabilities: Trade receivables.........................................

(230,000) --------- $(189,000) ========= The provision for federal and state income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1997 consists of a $61,000 reduction in the net deferred tax liabilities. 8. LEASE OBLIGATIONS The Companies lease their office space under operating leases which require monthly rentals currently totaling $19,096, plus the payment of property taxes, normal maintenance, and insurance on the properties, and which expire at various dates through December 2004.

F-68 119 INTRANATIONAL COMPUTER CONSULTANTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Operations Intranational Computer Consultants, Inc., is a professional services firm specializing in providing technical support for mainframe and mid-range computer operations, technical consulting, and software development services, to organizations with large-scale information processing and distribution needs located in the San Francisco Bay Area. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts was not considered necessary at December 31, 1997. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using accelerated and straight line methods over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years. Additions or improvements are capitalized at cost, while maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to operations. Income Taxes Income taxes are recognized using enacted tax rates and are composed of taxes on financial accounting income that is adjusted for requirements of current tax law, and deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The amounts estimated could differ from actual results. Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $47,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. Concentrations of Risk Financial instruments potentially subjecting the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. This credit risk is limited due to the financial strength of the Company's customers. Three customers account for 30% of revenues and $305,100 of trade receivables for the year ended and as of December 31, 1997. 2. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Trade............................................ $1,631,200 Other receivables................................ 9,700 ---------- $1,640,900 ========== F-69 120 INTRANATIONAL COMPUTER CONSULTANTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 3. NOTE RECEIVABLE -- STOCKHOLDER The note receivable from stockholder is due in semi-monthly installments of $200, including interest at 7% and is secured by computer equipment. The note was repaid in full subsequent to December 31, 1997. Interest received from the stockholder was $3,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. 4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Computers and equipment..................................... $125,900 Furniture and fixtures...................................... 45,700 Other....................................................... 15,900 -------- 187,500 Less accumulated depreciation............................... 78,600 -------- $108,900 ======== 5. BORROWINGS UNDER LINE OF CREDIT The Company has available a $1,000,000 line of credit that is subject to a limitation equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. Interest is at the bank's prime rate plus 1.5%. The line of credit matures November 1998, and is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and the stockholders' personal guarantees. 6. COMMITMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company rents office space under an operating lease expiring in February 1999. The monthly lease payment, currently $6,350, is adjusted annually based on increases in the Consumer Price Index, as defined in the agreement. In no case will the annual increase be less than 3% nor more than 6%. The Company is responsible for substantially all costs associated with repairs, maintenance, taxes, and insurance. An option exists to extend the lease for an additional four year period. The Company leases computer equipment from a stockholder under an operating lease expiring in July 2000. The lease requires semi-annual payments of $17,000, with the Company responsible for maintenance, taxes and insurance. The Company leases additional office space under operating leases expiring through August 1998. Future minimum lease payments are as follows: YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1998.............................................. $112,300 1999.............................................. 40,600 2000.............................................. 17,000 -------- $169,900 ======== Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 1997, was $133,700, including $34,000 paid to a stockholder. 7. PENSION PLAN The Company provides an Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) Plan covering substantially all employees meeting certain age and service requirements. Plan contributions are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Company did not contribute to the plan during the year ended December 31, 1997. F-70 121 INTRANATIONAL COMPUTER CONSULTANTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 8. BENEFIT FROM INCOME TAXES The significant temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities include using a different method of depreciation for tax purposes; deduction of paid vacation pay, actual bad debt write-offs, paid stockholder salaries, and the current state tax liability in the following year. During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company changed from the cash method of accounting for income taxes to the accrual method. The Company is allowed to recognize the tax liability generated by this change over a four year period, which is recognized as a deferred tax liability. Provision for income taxes Federal................................................... $ 1,900 California................................................ 900 -------- 2,800 Change in deferred income taxes............................. (42,000) -------- $(39,200) ======== Current deferred income taxes consist of the following: Gross deferred tax assets................................. $ (8,200) Gross deferred tax liabilities............................ 51,200 -------- $ 43,000 ======== Non-current deferred income taxes consist of the following: Gross deferred tax assets................................. $ (9,800) Gross deferred tax liabilities............................ 152,800 -------- $143,000 ======== 9. PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT The Company, in reviewing certain transactions associated with accrued commissions, concluded that the full accrual required for commission expense had not been included in the December 31, 1996, financial statements. Accordingly, to reflect the impact those liabilities would have had on the prior year's financial statements, the Company has reduced retained earnings by $61,500 from that previously reported. As the Company was on the cash basis of accounting for tax purposes, this adjustment has no effect on prior year income taxes. 10. CONTINGENCIES The Company has employment agreements with certain of its executive officers that provide for lump sum severance payments upon termination of employment under certain circumstances or a change of control, as defined in the agreements. The maximum contingent liability under these agreements is approximately $150,000. See Note 11. The Company has been notified of a potential claim regarding amounts owed to a former hourly contractor. Damages, if any, can not be estimated at this time. Management believes the claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position. 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Subsequent to year end, the stockholders of the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding stock to a previously unrelated corporation. Subsequent to year end, the Company was notified that its insurance coverage would be discontinued in March, 1998. Management believes it will be able to obtain adequate insurance upon expiration of the current policy.

F-76 127 NPS OF ATLANTA, INC. AND AFFILIATE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OCTOBER 31, 1997 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The financial statements are presented on a combined basis. Both companies are located in Atlanta, Georgia, incorporated in the State of Georgia, and are under common control and ownership. The following companies are included in these combined financial statements: TAX DATE FISCAL NAME OF COMPANY STATUS INCORPORATED YEAR END - --------------- ------ ------------ -------- NPS of Atlanta, Inc............................. C-Corporation 01-11-91 10/31 NPS Staffing Specialist, Inc.................... S-Corporation 02-22-95 12/31 Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in combination. Organization and Business NPS of Atlanta, Inc. provides temporary and permanent staffing solutions to companies and organizations located throughout metro Atlanta on a fee basis. NPS Staffing Specialists, Inc. provides promotional and marketing services to the staffing industry. NPS Staffing Specialists, Inc.'s sole customer is NPS of Atlanta, Inc. NPS of Atlanta, Inc. and its Affiliate (the "Company") operate five offices throughout the Atlanta, metropolitan area. Business and Credit Concentrations Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are accounts receivable. The Company continually evaluates the credit worthiness of its customers; however, the Company generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains cash balances in various accounts at a financial institution which, in the aggregate, may exceed federally insured amounts at times. 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and investments with purchased original maturities of three months or less. As of October 1997, the Company held no investments. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue as services are performed net of estimated credits and uncollectible amounts. The company sells its services to its customers primarily on a fee basis. F-77 128 NPS OF ATLANTA, INC. AND AFFILIATE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Unbilled Revenue The Company accrues the earned revenues and the related costs of employee services which have not been billed at the end of an accounting period. Financial Instruments The fair market value of financial instruments is determined by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. The Company believes that the fair values of financial instruments approximate their recorded values. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Management evaluates on a regular basis the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts and provides for amounts which may eventually become uncollectible and any disputed charges. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of October 31, 1997 is $10,000. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for financial statement purposes is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the depreciable assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred, while major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of property and equipment are capitalized. Income Taxes NPS Staffing Specialists, Inc., with the consent of its stockholder, elected under the Internal Revenue Code and comparable state regulations to be an S Corporation. Under these provisions, the Company does not pay federal or state corporate income taxes on its taxable income, rather, the stockholder of the S Corporation reports the Company's taxable income (or loss) and any tax credits on his personal income tax returns. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included for this entity in these combined financial statements as it relates to NPS Staffing Specialists, Inc. For tax purposes, NPS of Atlanta, Inc. is a regular corporation subject to federal and state income taxes. See Note 8 regarding the tax provision (benefit) as it relates to NPS of Atlanta, Inc.'s taxable income or loss. Generally, income tax expense (benefit) for this entity includes federal and state taxes currently payable and deferred taxes arising from temporary differences in bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purpose.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS [The Company's Charter provides that, to the fullest extent that limitations on the liability of directors and officers are permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), no director or officer of the Company shall have any liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages. The DGCL provides that a corporation's charter may include a provision which restricts or limits the liability of its directors or officers to the corporation or its stockholders for money damages except: (1) to the extent that it is provided that the person actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services, for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property or services actually received, or (2) to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the person is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the person's action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. The Company's Charter and Bylaws provide that the Company [shall] indemnify and advance expenses to its currently acting and its former directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and that the Company shall indemnify and advance expenses to its officers to the same extent as its directors and to such further extent as is consistent with law.] [The Charter and Bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers and may indemnify employees or agents of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with the Company. However, nothing in the Charter or Bylaws of the Company protects or indemnifies a director, officer, employee or agent against any liability to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office. To the extent that a director has been successful in defense of any proceeding, the DGCL provides that he shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.] The form of underwriting agreement, filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto, contains provisions by which the Underwriters agree to indemnify the Company and each officer, director and controlling person of the Company against certain liabilities.

UNDERTAKINGS Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in this Registration Statement or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling persons of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser. II-3 136 The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each posteffective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. II-4 137 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly caused this Registration Statement or Amendment to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in South Bend, Indiana on , 1998.
