THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

REVENUES

        Revenues increased $4,081,000 or 19% in the three months ended 
March 31, 1997 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996. Worksite 
employees, excluding certain seasonal employees, increased 5.7% from 3,073 at
March 31, 1996 to 3,249 at March 31, 1997. Average annualized payroll per
worksite employee increased 13.3% to $26,590 in the first quarter of 1997 from
$23,467 in the first quarter of


   10

1996. The increase in revenues per employee was the result of continued
emphasis on attracting clients in higher paying industries and full time
positions. The average annualized payroll per employee was $27,168 in the 
fourth quarter of 1996.

DIRECT COSTS

        Salaries and wages rose 19.8% to $21,597,700 in the three months ended
March 31, 1997 from $18,028,200 in the three months ended March 31, 1996.
Payroll taxes, etc., rose only 7.7% to $2,545,000 in the first quarter of 1997
from $2,363,000 in the first quarter of 1996. The increase in salaries and
wages in 1997's first quarter was in line with the increased headcount and the
higher wage client base. Payroll taxes and benefits rose only 7.7% as a result
of the Company's risk management efforts and a 20% premium credit dividend from
the State of Ohio worker's compensation fund.

EXPENSES

        Administrative salaries expense rose 15.3% to $723,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from $627,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996 as the Company continued to add headcount to support the growth of the
Company. Other general and administrative expenses rose 57.8% from the first
quarter of 1996 to the first quarter of 1997 as the result of higher legal and
external accounting expenses related to being a public company and higher
facilities costs.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

        As a result of the 19% increase in revenues and only a 7.7% increase in
direct costs, income from operations increased 39.8% to $235,000 in the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from $168,000 in the three months ended March 31,
1996.

OTHER INCOME

        Other income of $151,000 consists principally of interest income and
earnings on short-term investments and temporary cash investments. The
investments represent the cash proceeds from the initial public offering of TEAM
America stock in December, 1996. There were no excess cash investments in the
corresponding first quarter of 1996.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

        Income tax expense rose 99.8% from the first quarter of 1996 to the
first quarter of 1997. The effective tax rate was 40% for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 compared to 46% for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
The effective tax rate for all of calendar 1996 was 42.3%. The lower tax rate
in 1997 reflects the tax-exempt investment income in 1997 and the lessened
impact of non-deductible life insurance premiums due to increased pre-tax
income.

NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

        Net income increased $141,000 or 155% from the three months ended March
31, 1996 to the three months ended March 31, 1997 due to the higher revenues
and investment income. Earnings per share in the first quarter of 1997
increased only 75% over the first quarter of 1996 because average shares
outstanding increased from 2,093,000 in 1996's first quarter to 3,335,000


   11

in 1997's first quarter, or 59.5%, following the initial public offering of
1,250,000 shares of TEAM America stock in December, 1996. Basic earnings per 
share as calculated in accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, is the same as 
earnings per share presented in the accompanying financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        At March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company had a working capital surplus
(deficit) in the amounts of $13,366,000 and ($109,000), respectively.

        The Company's primary source of liquidity and capital resources has
historically been its internal cash flow from operations. In addition, in
December 1996 net cash of $13,314,000 was provided from an initial public
offering of Company stock. Net cash used in operating activities was $81,000
and $139,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

        The Company recognizes as revenue and as unbilled receivables, on an
accrual basis, any such amounts which relate to services performed by worksite
employees as of the end of each accounting period which have not yet been
billed to the client because of timing differences between the day the
Company's accounting period ends and its billing dates. The amount of unbilled
receivables, as well as accrued liabilities and client deposits, have increased
with the general growth of the Company. For work performed prior to the
termination of a client agreement, the Company may be obligated, as an
employer, to pay the gross salaries and wages of the client's worksite
employees and the related employment taxes and workers' compensation costs,
whether or not the Company's client pays the Company on a timely basis or at
all. The Company, however, historically has not incurred significant bad debt
expenses because the Company generally collects from its clients all revenues
with respect to each payroll period in advance of the Company's payment of the
direct costs associated therewith. The Company attempts to minimize its credit
risk by investigating and monitoring the credit history and financial strength
of its clients and by generally requiring payments to be made by wire transfer,
immediately available funds or ACH transfer. With respect to ACH transfers, the
Company is obligated to pay the client's worksite employees if there are
insufficient funds in the client's bank account on the payroll date. The
Company's policy, however, is only to permit clients with a proven credit
history with the Company to pay by ACH transfer. In addition, in the rare
event of nonpayment by a client, the Company has the ability to terminate
immediately its contract with the client. The Company also protects itself by
obtaining unconditional personal guaranties from the owners of a client and/or
a cash security deposit, bank letter of credit or pledge of certificates of
deposit. As of March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company held cash security deposits
in the amounts of $454,000 and $436,000 respectively. Additional sources of
funds to the Company are advance payments of employment taxes and insurance
premiums which the Company holds until they are due and payable to the
respective taxing authorities and insurance providers.

        Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $55,000 and
$(110,000) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996
respectively. The principal use of cash from investing activities was the
purchase of additional computer equipment and software to support the growth of
the business. Also in March, 1997 $262,375 was paid in advance of the April 1,
1997 effective date of the acquisition of a PEO located in Dover, Ohio.

        Financing activities are not material as the Company has no debt or
significant capital leases.


   12

        Presently, the Company has no material commitments for capital
expenditures. Primary new uses of cash may include acquisitions, the size and
timing of which cannot be predicted.

        The Company has executed a $500,000 promissory note to a bank which, at
the bank's sole discretion, would allow the Company to obtain loans up to such
amount without negotiating or executing any further agreements. Borrowings
under this credit facility are payable upon demand and bear interest at the
bank's prime rate (8.5%) at March 31, 1997. As of March 31, 1997 and 1996, no
borrowings were outstanding under this credit facility.

        The Company believes that the net proceeds from the sale of the common
shares in December 1996 which were invested in marketable securities and
certificates of deposit, together with existing cash, cash equivalents and
internally generated funds will be sufficient to meet the Company's presently
anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements both for the
next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. To the extent
that the Company needs additional capital resources, the Company believes that
it will have access to both bank financing and capital leasing for additional
facilities and equipment; however, there can be no assurance that additional
financing will be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all.

        Effective April 1, 1997 the Company acquired a PEO in Dover, Ohio in a
purchase transaction. The total consideration paid was $262,375 in cash in
March, 1997 and the issuance of 40,615 shares of Company stock. Fifty percent
of the shares of Company stock has been deposited in an escrow account at a
bank. The shares will be released from escrow in 1998, 1999 and 2000 subject
to the satisfaction of covenants pertaining to retention of worksite employees
and fees.

        The Company did not pay dividends in 1996, or thus far in 1997, and
does not expect to pay a dividend in the foreseeable future.

        The Company believes the effects of inflation have not had a
significant impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
