MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Results of Operations:
First Quarter
Sales of services in the first quarter of 1998 were $959.4 million, an
increase of 8.9% from the same period in 1997. Sales growth was strong
in foreign operations while domestic sales expanded at a moderate rate.
Cost of services, consisting of payroll and related tax and benefit
costs of employees assigned to customers, increased 9.2% in the first
quarter as compared to the same period in 1997. Direct wage costs have
increased from 1997 at a rate somewhat higher than the general
inflation rate, due to strong worldwide demand for labor.
Gross profit of $167.9 million was 7.4% higher than the first quarter
of 1997, and gross profit as a percentage of sales declined from 17.7%
in 1997 to 17.5% in 1998. The growth of sales with our largest
customers where contracts require special pricing and additional
implementation costs, especially in the foreign markets, and the upward
pressure on wage costs noted above had the effect of reducing the
consolidated gross profit rate.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $143.1 million in the
first quarter, an increase of 8.2% over the same period in 1997.
Expenses averaged 14.9% of sales as compared to 15.0% in last year's
first quarter. The rate of growth of these expenses inclusive of year
2000 modification costs in relationship to the sales increases reflects
the Company's emphasis on expense control.
Earnings from operations of $24.8 million were 3.0% greater than the
first quarter of 1997. Interest income (net) of $.7 million increased
significantly as compared to the first quarter of 1997 due to higher
average cash and short-term investment balances.
Earnings before income taxes were $25.5 million, an increase of 5.8%,
compared to pretax earnings of $24.1 million for the same period in
1997. The pretax margin was 2.7% in the first quarters of both 1998
and 1997. Income taxes were 41.0% of pretax income in the first
quarters of 1998 and 1997.
Net earnings were $15.1 million in the first quarter of 1998, an
increase of 5.9% over the first quarter of 1997. Basic and diluted
earnings per share were $.39 compared to $.37 in the same period last
year.

Financial Condition
Assets totaled $1.0 billion at March 29, 1998, an increase of 3.8% over
the $967.2 million at December 28, 1997. Working capital increased
$8.9 million during the three-month period. The current ratio was 1.9
at March 29, 1998 and December 28, 1997.
During the first three months of 1998, net cash from operating
activities was $58.5 million, an increase of 36% over the comparable
period in 1997. This increase resulted principally from increases in
net earnings and accrued liability balances, along with a containment
on the growth of accounts receivable. Capital expenditures of $7.0
million in 1998 and $6.1 million in 1997 were principally for expanding
and improving the worldwide branch network and developing new
information systems.
The quarterly dividend rate applicable to Class A and Class B shares
outstanding was $.22 per share in the first quarter of 1998. This
represents a 5% increase compared to a dividend rate of $.21 per share
in the first quarter of 1997.
The Company's financial position continues to be strong. This strength
will allow it to continue to aggressively pursue growth opportunities,
while supporting current operations.
New Accounting Standard
Effective December 29, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This
Statement establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is
comprised of net earnings and other comprehensive income. Foreign
currency adjustments represent the only component of other
comprehensive income.
Forward Looking Statements
Except for the historical statements and discussions contained herein,
statements contained in this report relate to future events that are
subject to risks and uncertainties, such as: competition, changing
market and economic conditions, currency fluctuations, changes in laws
and regulations, the Company's ability to effectively implement and
manage its information technology programs and other factors discussed
in the report and in the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Actual results may differ materially from any
projections contained herein.
