Item 5.  Other Events

         As previously reported, Outsource International, Inc., a Florida
corporation (the "Company"), together with all of its operating subsidiaries,
filed voluntary Petitions for Relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of
California ("Bankruptcy Court"), Case Nos. LA-01-28160-BB, LA-01-28173-BB,
LA-01-28179-BB, LA-01-28185-BB, LA-01-28191-BB, LA-01-28197-BB and
LA-01-28201-BB Jointly Administered, on June 11, 2001. The Company retains
control of its assets and is authorized to operate its business as a debtor in
possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court.

         As a result of the Chapter 11 proceeding, the Company is filing with
the Office of the U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee ("Bankruptcy Trustee") the Company's
Monthly Operating Report (the "Monthly Operating Report") and Interim Statement
(the "Interim Statement"). The Company intends to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), each under the cover of a Form 8-K, the Monthly
Operating Report and Interim Statement filed with the Bankruptcy Trustee.

         On September 14, 2001, the Company filed with the Bankruptcy Trustee
its Monthly Operating Report and Interim Statement for the period from July 30,
2001 to August 26, 2001 in connection with the Company's ongoing proceeding
under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Exhibit 99.1 to this Current
Report and Interim Statement on Form 8-K contains the text of the Monthly
Operating Report and Interim Statement filed with the Bankruptcy Trustee.

         The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place
undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report
and Interim Statement. The Monthly Operating Report and Interim Statement
contain unaudited information. There can be no assurance that, from the
perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company's securities,
the Monthly Operating Report and Interim Statement are complete. The Monthly
Operating Report and Interim Statement also contain information for periods
which may be shorter or otherwise different from those required in the Company's
reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange
Act"). Such information may not be indicative of the Company's financial
condition or operating results for the periods which would be reflected in the
Company's financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act.

         Moreover, the Monthly Operating Report and Interim Statement and other
communications from the Company may include forward-looking statements subject
to various assumptions regarding the Company's operating performance that may
not be realized and subject to significant business, economic and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies many of which are beyond the Company's control.
Consequently, such matters should not be regarded as a representation or
warranty by the Company that such matters will be realized or are indicative of
the Company's financial condition or operating results for future periods.
Actual results for such periods may differ materially from the information
contained in the Monthly Operating Report and Interim Statement, and the Company
undertakes no obligations to update or revise the Monthly Operating Report or
the Interim Statement.

         Effective as of the close of business on October 4, 2001, the Company's
common stock was delisted from the OTC Bulletin Board due to the Company's
failure to file its quarterly report with the SEC. The Company's common stock
now trades in the Pink Sheets.
