financial statements and results of operations.
NOTE 7 - RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In June of 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This
standard shall be effective for all fiscal quarters for all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. The company is currently evaluating the impact,
if any, of this standard on its financial reporting.

dividend on all classes of stock. The dividend is to be distributed on June 1,
1999, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 16, 1999. After
the distribution of the dividend, there will be 9,939,350 shares of common stock
outstanding and 4,521,846 shares of series B preferred stock outstanding. Also,

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Financial Condition
- -------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Net income for the first quarter of 1999 increased by 40% to $1.7 million, up
from $1.2 million reported in the first quarter of 1998. Pre-tax earnings
increased by 57% to $2.8 million, compared to $1.8 recorded in the 1998 quarter.
Diluted earnings per share were $.22 in 1999, compared with $.16 in the 1998
first quarter, reflecting an increase of 38%. Revenues for the first quarter of
1999 were $105.9 million, slightly below the $106.7 million recorded in the same
period of 1998.
Substantial profitability increases in both the Telecom Services and Technology
Solutions businesses were responsible for the quarter-on-quarter growth in
earnings. The ongoing improvement in business mix provided by the growth of
those divisions resulted in an increase in gross margins to 20.8% in the 1999
first quarter, up from 17.1% in the 1998 quarter. These increases more than
offset reduced profits in the Fleet Services and Technical Group, which were due
to expected reductions.
The Company's Technology Solutions and Telecom Services businesses reported
revenue increases of $15.1 million, or 99% and $5.2 million, or 30%,
respectively, above the first quarter of 1998. Acquisitions accounted for
approximately $13.6 million of the increase. This substantial growth however
was offset by a decrease of approximately $21 million in the Technical Group and
Fleet Services businesses. The decrease in the Technical Group was in line with
the Company's ongoing strategy of transforming its business mix towards its
high-end service offerings. The reduction in Fleet Services revenue was
directly related to the restructuring of a major contract later on in 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The Company's primary sources of funds are generated from operations and
borrowings under its revolving credit facility and acquisition line of credit.
As of March 31, 1999, $30.2 million was outstanding under the credit facility,
with an additional $5.5 million used to collateralize letters of credit. As of
March 31, 1999, $24.5 million was outstanding on the acquisition line. Proceeds
from the credit facility are used by the Company to finance its internal
business growth, working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions.
The Company's credit agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation
("GECC") provides for a revolving credit facility for loans up to $50.0 million,
including $9.0 million for letters of credit and an additional acquisition
facility for up to $35.0 million. The interest rate on the revolving credit
facility at the end of the first quarter of 1999 was 125 basis points above the
30-day commercial paper rate, or 6.10%. Interest reductions are available based
upon the Company achieving certain financial results. The acquisition facility
bears interest at 250 basis points above the 30 day commercial paper rate. The
interest rate in effect on March 31, 1999, was 7.35%. The Company has guaranteed
all obligations incurred or created under the credit agreement. The Company is
in compliance with the required affirmative and financial covenants.
The GECC credit facility excludes the U.K operation, which has its own
(Pounds)1.5 million facility. As of March 31, 1999, (Pounds)563,000 was
outstanding under the U.K. facility.
The Company has a seven year mortgage for its corporate office facility. The
mortgage consists of a $6.4 million loan that is repayable based upon a 15 year
amortization schedule and a $375,000 loan that is repayable based on a 4 year
schedule. The variable interest rate on these loans is one month Libor plus 225
basis points. The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with its
9
mortgage holder. The Company makes monthly interest payments at the fixed rates
of 8.6% and 8.42% on the $6.4 million and $375,000 loans, respectively. The
Company receives payments based upon the one month Libor plus 225 basis points.
The net gain or loss from the exchange of interest rate payments is included in
interest expense.
The Company believes that its operating cash flow and credit facilities will
provide sufficient liquidity for at least the next twelve months.
The Company does not have any off balance sheet financial instruments or
derivatives subject to significant market risk.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
- --------------------
Description:
At midnight on December 31, 1999, certain computer systems may not be able to
distinguish the Year 2000 from the Year 1900. This is because computer software
has, until recently, been written utilizing two digits rather than four to
express years. This programming flaw may debilitate computer systems worldwide,
because date-sensitive applications may recognize the Year 2000 as 1900, or not
at all. This may cause miscalculations or system failures. This situation has
become known as the Y2K problem, or the Millennium Bug.
Compliance:
The Company has established a Y2K Oversight Committee to ensure compliance of
all systems.
Beginning in 1995, the Company began the strategic process of upgrading and
replacing all of its financial systems. The new systems are all Y2K-compliant,
server driven operating systems. The final phase of this project is expected to
be completed by the end of the second quarter of 1999. With regard to all other
computerized systems, the Company has nearly completed its Y2K compliance, and
is currently testing its ability to correctly identify and process the Year
2000. This process is expected to be complete by the end of the second quarter
of 1999. All desktop and laptop computers have been checked for Y2K readiness.
Any computers that are not compliant are being replaced. This process will be
completed in the second quarter of 1999. All PC operating systems have been
upgraded. All telecommunications and PBX systems have been evaluated and are
expected to be compliant in the second quarter of 1999. All building systems
(e.g., elevators, HVAC) were also reviewed. The majority of these systems are
day-dependent, not date-dependent, so they should not be impacted by Y2K. The
Company has been contacting major clients and vendors to evaluate their Y2K
compliance plans and readiness, to determine whether a Y2K event will have a
significant impact on the Company.
Costs:
Due to the scheduled conversion of the Company's financial systems there are no
specific Y2K costs related to those areas. The cost incurred to date to upgrade
non-compliant PCs is approximately $137,000, of which $24,000 has been expensed
and $113,000 has been recorded to property and equipment. The estimated cost to
complete the PC upgrade is approximately $20,000. The cost to upgrade or
replace non-compliant telecommunication systems to date has been approximately
$35,000. The estimated cost to complete the telecommunication system upgrades
is approximately $55,000.
Worst-Case Scenarios:
The following are worst-case scenarios that could have an impact on the Company
if they were to occur: The Company could be negatively impacted if several of
its
10
larger clients were affected by either their inability to retain contract
employees supplied by the Company or by their inability to process payables
promptly. This may become a benefit to the Company because it has the ability to
provide Y2K solutions to the affected customers. The Company would incur
additional financing costs during any extended receivable period. The Company
could be adversely affected if financial institutions were unable to wire
payroll funds. Such an occurrence would require the Company to issue paper
checks which may not be well received by its contract employees.
Contingency Planning:
The Company has developed a contingency plan that would enable it to print
checks manually and mail them to all employees in the event of a bank problem.
Appropriate contingency plans are being developed to deal with potential client
or vendor Y2K events.
Summary:
Based on the activities reviewed above, the Company expects all internal systems
to be Y2K compliant by June 30, 1999. The Company does not believe that the Y2K
issues will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results
of operations. It is anticipated that the Y2K issue is not substantial with
respect to the Company's property and equipment, though the Company is
continuing to assess and modify computer systems, facilities and business
processes to provide for their continuing functionality.
Information contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition, other than historical information, may be
considered forward-looking in nature. As such, it is based upon certain
assumptions and is subject to various risks and uncertainties, which may not be
controllable by the Company. To the extent that these assumptions prove to be
incorrect, or should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, the actual
results may vary materially from those which were anticipated.
