COMFORCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of COMFORCE Corporation,
COMFORCE Operating, Inc. ("COI") and their subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary
for a fair presentation, have been included. Although management believes that
the disclosures made are adequate to ensure that the information presented is
not misleading, it is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1997. The results of the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.
2. NEWLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
On June 15, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES ("FAS 133"). FAS 133 is effective for all
fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 (January 1,
2000 for the Company). FAS 133 requires that all derivative instruments be
recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of
derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive
income, depending on whether a derivative is designed as part of a hedge
transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Management of the
Company anticipates that, due to its limited use of derivative instruments, the
adoption of FAS 133 will not have a significant effect on the Company's results
of operations or its financial position.
3. RECENT ACQUISITIONS
On January 26, 1998, COMFORCE Telecom, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, purchased all of the issued and outstanding stock of Camelot Consulting
Group Inc., Camelot Communications Group Inc, Camelot Control Group Inc. and
Camelot Group Inc. (collectively, "Camelot"), for total consideration of $3.7
million in cash and 203,307 shares of the Company's Common Stock. In addition,
the Company issued contingent payment certificates under which it could be
required to pay up to $3.25 million in cash over a three-year period. Camelot
is in the business of selling and installing telecommunications equipment and of
providing staffing services. This transaction is not material to the Company.
4. DEBT

5. EQUITY
During the first six months of 1998, warrants to purchase 108,132 shares of
common stock at prices ranging from $2.00 to $7.575 per share were exercised.
During the first six months of 1998, options to exercise 80,500 shares of common
stock at prices ranging from $1.125 to $6.00 per share were exercised.
In January 1998, 203,307 shares of common stock with a value of $1.5 million
were issued in connection with the acquisition of Camelot Consulting Group, Inc.
and certain affiliated companies. (See note 3.)
In February 1998, 54,561 shares of common stock with a value of $400,000 were
issued in connection with the contingent payment due on the acquisition of
AZATAR Computer Systems, Inc.
6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
At December 31, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per common share
is computed by dividing net earnings (losses) available for common shareholders
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each
period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed assuming the conversion
of stock options and warrants with a market value greater than the exercise
price. The following represents a reconciliation of the denominator for basic
and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997:

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The discussion set forth below supplements the information found in the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of
COMFORCE Corporation, COMFORCE Operating, Inc. ("COI") and their subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company").
OVERVIEW
Set forth below are discussions and analyses of financial condition and
results of operations of the Company. The Company believes that its future
operating results may not be directly comparable to historical operating results
because of the Company's increased size, related cost savings and marketing
synergies.
From October 1995 through June 30, 1998, the Company has completed 10
acquisitions. Each of these acquisitions has been accounted for on a purchase
basis and the results of operations of each of the businesses acquired have been
included in the Company's historical financial statements from the date of
acquisition. Certain of these acquisitions provide for contingent payments by
the Company as a part of the purchase consideration based upon the operating
results of the acquired businesses for specified future periods. The
acquisitions were financed by the Company principally through its issuance of
debt and equity securities and borrowings under bank credit facilities. As a
result, the Company's historical results of operations include bridge financing
costs which are not expected to be incurred in future periods and preferred
stock dividends. In addition, as a result of its rapid growth through
acquisitions, the discussion and comparison of the Company's historical results
of operations set forth below may not be meaningful.
Gross margins on staffing services can vary significantly depending on
factors such as the specific services being performed, the overall contract size
and the amount of recruiting required. Margins on the Company's sales in the
technical services sector are typically significantly lower than those in the
telecommunications and information technology sectors. Consequently, changes in
the Company's sales mix can be expected to impact the overall gross margins
generated by the Company.
Staffing personnel placed by the Company are employees of the Company. The
Company is responsible for employee related expenses for its employees,
including workers' compensation, unemployment compensation insurance, Medicare
and Social Security taxes and general payroll expenses. The Company offers
health, dental, disability and life insurance to its billable employees.
Staffing and consulting companies, including the Company, typically pay their
billable employees for their services before receiving payment from their
customers, often resulting in significant outstanding receivables. To the extent
the Company increases revenues through acquisitions and/or internal growth,
these receivables will grow and there will be greater requirements for borrowing
availability under its credit facilities to fund current operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
Revenues of $118.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were
$62.4 million, or 112% higher than revenues for the three months ended June 30,
1997. The increase in 1998 revenues is attributable principally to the Company's
acquisition of Uniforce Services, Inc. ("Uniforce") on November 26, 1997.
Cost of services for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was 81.4% of
services compared to cost of services of 87.4% for the three months ended June
30, 1997. The cost of services decrease of 6% for the second quarter of 1998 is
a result of the Company's business mix in the 1998 period, which reflected the
full period impact of acquisitions completed
9
during 1997, as well as the Company's growth in the information technology,
telecommunications and financial services sectors. These sectors have
historically generated higher gross margin than the more mature technical
staffing sector.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was
12.2% for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 7.7% for the three
months ended June 30, 1997. Included in selling and general and administrative
expenses are $1.7 million in licensee costs related to the Company's franchise
operations.
Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $6.2 million,
compared to operating income of $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997. This increase was principally attributable to the Company's completion of
the Uniforce acquisition.
The Company's interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998 is
attributable to the interest on (i) the Loan and Security Agreement with Heller
Financial, Inc., as lender and agent for other participating lenders, to provide
to the Company a secured revolving credit facility (the "Current Credit
Facility"), (ii) $110.0 million principal amount of 12% Senior Notes due 2007
issued by COI (the "Notes") and (iii) $21.5 million principal amount of 15%
Senior Secured PIK Debentures issued by the Company (the "Senior Debentures"),
all of which obligations were incurred in November 1997. For the three months
ended June 30, 1997, interest expense is principally attributable to the $25.2
million principal amount of the Subordinated Convertible Debentures (the "Old
Subordinated Debentures") issued by the Company in February and March 1997, the
proceeds of which were used to partially fund the acquisition of The Rho Company
Incorporated ("Rhotech") and for working capital purposes. The amortization of
the costs payable on the Old Subordinated Debentures is reflected in bridge and
financing charges for such three-month period.
The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was
$617,000 on pretax income of $768,000, compared to a tax credit of $1.1 million
on a loss before taxes of $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
The difference between the Federal statutory income tax rate and the Company's
effective tax rate relates primarily to state income taxes and the
nondeductibility of certain intangible assets.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
Revenues of $230.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were
$138.6 million, or nearly 152% higher than revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. The increase in 1998 revenues is attributable principally to the
Company's acquisition of Uniforce on November 26, 1997.
Cost of services for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was 81.6% of
services compared to cost of services of 87.2% for the six months ended June
30, 1997. The cost of services decrease of 5.6% for the first six months of
1998 is a result of the Company's business mix in the 1998 period, which
reflected the full period impact of acquisitions completed during 1997 as well
as the Company's growth in the information technology, telecommunications and
financial services sectors. These sectors have historically generated higher
gross margin than the more mature technical staffing sector.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was
12.3% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 8% for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. Included in selling general and administrative expenses
are $3.5 million in licensee costs related to the Company's franchise
operations.
Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $11.2 million,
compared to operating income of $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997. This increase was principally attributable to the Company's completion of
the Rhotech and Uniforce acquisitions.
The Company's interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998 is
attributable to the interest on the Current Credit Facility, the Notes and the
Senior Debentures, all of which obligations were incurred in November 1997. For
the six months ended June 30, 1997, interest expense is principally attributable
to the $25.2 million principal amount of the Old Subordinated Debentures issued
by the Company in February and March 1997, the proceeds of which were used to
partially
10
fund the acquisition of Rhotech and for working capital purposes. The
amortization of the costs payable on the Old Subordinated Debentures is
reflected in bridge and financing charges for such six-month period.
The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was for
$947,000 on pretax income of $641,000, compared to a tax credit of $1.0 million
on a loss before taxes of $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
The difference between the Federal statutory income tax rate and the Company's
effective tax rate relates primarily to state income taxes and the
nondeductibility of certain intangible assets.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has historically paid its billable employees weekly for their
services before receiving payment from its customers. Additionally, certain
statutory payroll and related taxes, as well as other fringe benefits, are
generally paid by the Company before the Company receives payment from its
customers. Consequently, a significant portion of the Company's cost of revenues
is normally paid by the Company prior to receiving payment from its customers.
Increases in the Company's revenues, resulting from expansion of existing
offices or establishment of new offices, will require additional cash resources
necessary to support such growth. The debt service costs associated with the
borrowings under the Notes and the Current Credit Facility have significantly
increased liquidity requirements. The debt service costs associated with the
Senior Debentures may be satisfied through the issuance of new notes. To date,
the Company has chosen to issue new notes to pay these costs. Management of the
Company believes that, based on the results of operations and anticipated
growth, including growth through acquisitions, cash flow from operations and
funds anticipated to be available under the Current Credit Facility will be
sufficient to service the Company's indebtedness, to fund growth at anticipated
levels and to meet anticipated working capital requirements for the foreseeable
future. However, various factors, including those described or referenced under
"Forward Looking Statements" in Item 1 of the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 could prevent the Company from
realizing these objectives.
As of June 30, 1998, the Company had outstanding $21.5 million in principal
amount of Senior Debentures bearing interest at a rate of 15%, $110.0 million in
principal amount of Notes issued by COI bearing interest at a rate of 12%,
$48 million outstanding under the Current Credit Facility bearing interest at a
rate of 7.94% and $3.1 million outstanding under the Current Credit Facility
bearing interest at a rate of 9.0%. As of June 30, 1998, approximately $139.4
million, or 53%, of the Company's total assets were intangible assets. These
intangible assets substantially represent amounts attributable to goodwill
recorded in connection with the Company's acquisitions and will be amortized
over a five to 40 year period, resulting in an annual charge of approximately $
4.0 million. Various factors could impact the Company's ability to generate the
earnings necessary to support this amortization schedule, including those
described or referenced under "Forward Looking Statements" in Item 1 of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
The Company is obligated under various acquisition agreements to make
earn-out payments to the sellers of acquired companies, subject to the acquired
companies' meeting certain contractual requirements. The maximum amount of the
remaining potential earn-out payments is $8.3 million in cash and $4.1 million
in stock payable in the three-year period from 1998 to 2000. The Company cannot
currently estimate whether it will be obligated to pay the maximum amount;
however, the Company anticipates that the cash generated by the operations of
the acquired companies will provide all or a substantial part of the capital
required to fund the cash portion of the earn-out payments.
During the first six months of 1998, the Company's primary sources of funds
to meet working capital needs were (i) cash from operations, (ii) the proceeds
of the Notes and Senior Debentures and (iii) and borrowings under the Current
Credit Facility.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $2.3 million during the six months
ended June 30, 1998. Cash flows used in operating activities of $3.8 million
and cash flows used in investing activities of $8.8 million were in excess of
cash flows provided by financing activities of $10.3 million. Cash flows used in
operating activities were principally attributable to the need to fund growth in
accounts receivable and their carrying costs. Cash flows used in investing
activities were principally related to the purchase of Camelot Consulting Group,
Inc. and certain affiliated companies and addition of property plant and
equipment. Cash flows provided by financing activities were principally
attributable to net borrowings under the Current
11
Credit Facility.
YEAR 2000
The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems to identify
those areas that could be affected by the Year 2000 issue and has developed an
implementation plan to ensure compliance. The Company presently believes that
with modest modifications to existing software, the Year 2000 problem will
neither pose significant operational concerns nor have a material impact on the
financial position or results of operations in any given year.
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 the technical services sector has
historically been lower during the year-end holidays through January of the
following year, showing gradual improvement over the remainder of the year.
Although less pronounced than in technical services, the demand for services in
the telecommunications and IT sectors 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 if revenues
contributed by the information technology and telecommunications sectors
continue to increase as a percentage of the Company's consolidated revenues.
