Business PART I General The Company, through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Intertec Design, Inc. and Cataract, Inc. is a nationwide provider of temporary and contract personnel to businesses, professional and service organizations, manufacturers and public utilities. The Company provides a broad range of services to national, regional and local clients through 18 branch offices (as of October 31, 1995). The Company's business is organized into two primary groups: Technical Services Group and the Temporary Services Group. Effective August 31, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of Cataract,Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("Cataract") pursuant to a Merger Agreement, dated July 31, 1995 (by and among the Company, CI Acquisition Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("CI"), Cataract and the shareholders of Cataract ("Merger Agreement"). Cataract engages in approximately the same business as the Technical Services Group of the Company, in supplying contract technical personnel to U.S. corporations. Cataract's focus has been primarily in supplying such technical personnel to public utilities nationwide. Cataract's audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 1994 reported gross revenues of over $20 million and an operating profit of over $1.1 million before interest, depreciation, amortization and taxes. Cataract's unaudited interim results for the nine months ended July 2, 1995, the period immediately preceding the acquisition, reflected a net income of $360,587. Upon the closing of the Merger Agreement, and upon the filing of the Articles of Merger, Cataract was merged with and into CI and the separate corporate existence of Cataract ceased to exist, at which time CI remained as the surviving corporation, subsequently changing its name to "Cataract, Inc." Upon completion of the merger, all rights, title and interest to all property owned by Cataract was allocated to and vested in CI. Upon the Cataract shareholders tendering 100% of the Cataract shares to CI, the Company, as consideration pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, caused to be issued and paid the following: (i) share certificates of the Company in the name of each of the Cataract shareholders representing, in the aggregate, $1,200,000 shares worth of the Company's common stock (equal to 1,561,553 shares of the common stock of the Company); and (ii) the sum of $2,000,000 in cash. The Cataract shareholders were required to pledge the Company's stock they received pursuant to a Pledge Agreement, dated August 30, 1995 (the "Pledge Agreement") in order to guarantee certain performance criteria of Cataract established in the Merger Agreement. The Pledge Agreement is for a period of three years and three months from August 31, 1995, during which time the Company, as pledgee, has the right to exercise all voting rights with respect to the pledged stock. Upon completion of the pledge period, the remaining pledge shares, if any, shall be placed in a voting trust ("Trust Shares") pursuant to Voting Trust Agreement, dated August 30, 1995 (the "Voting Trust Agreement"). The shares of common stock of the Company held by the Cataract shareholders pursuant to the Voting Trust Agreement will be held in trust until the earlier of: (i) the public or private sale of the Trust Shares in an open market transaction to an Unaffiliated Third Party, as such term is defined in the Voting Trust Agreement; or (ii) the resignation, removal from office or if for any other reason Leon Kopyt ceases to serve as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company. 2 Item 1. Business (Continued) General (Contined) The Voting Trust Agreement also provides that notwithstanding the expiration of the Voting trust Agreement, one-third of the Trust Shares shall be released from trust on August 30, 2000, and thereafter an additional on-third of the Trust Shares shall be released on each of August 30, 2001 and August 30, 2002, at which time all of the Trust Shares will have been released from the voting trust, thereby causing the termination of the Voting Trust Agreement. The Technical Services Group, which provides on a fee basis, personnel to perform engineering, design, drafting or other functions either at the site of the client or, less frequently, at its own facilities, generated approximately 55%, 49% and 56.7% of the revenues for fiscal years ended October 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Revenues generated by the Technical Services Group are provided through Intertec Design, Inc. and Cataract, Inc.. Cataract, Inc, acquired on August 30, 1995, is a supplier of management, engineering, design and technical services to the nuclear power, fossil fuel, electric utilities and process industries. The Temporary Services Group, which provides office, clerical and light industrial personnel operated as a division of Intertec Design, Inc. provided 45% and 51% of the revenues for fiscal years ended October 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company's fees are based upon the number of hours worked by personnel assigned to a client (for either a designated or an indefinite term of engagement) or, in a few instances, an amount equal to the Company's actual direct costs and related overhead expenses plus a fixed fee. The rates per hour differ among the categories of personnel and are affected by the prevailing direct labor rates in the area of assignment. Billings by the Company are usually on a weekly basis, with invoices payable within thirty days of the date of the invoice. Engagements of personnel vary in duration. The average length of engagement for a project is nine months, and assignments of individuals have ranged from four months to more than three years. Clients typically invite several companies to bid on requests for proposals and sometimes grant contracts to more than one company to provide personnel for the same project. Contracts with certain clients prohibit the Company and the client from hiring the employees of the other during the contract period and for a specified time thereafter. Management believes that there are a sufficient number of engineering, technical, professional and other personnel available to the Company to satisfy the requirements of its principal clients. The number and type of personnel available to the Company are affected by many factors including general economic conditions, and have fluctuated widely from time to time. The Company has reduced its reliance on major customers in fiscal year 1995. United Technologies was the only customer which contributed sales greater than or equal to 10% of revenues. The sales to United Technologies were approximately $3,300,000 or 12.3% of revenues. The Company does not anticipate significant revenues from United Technologies in the foreseeable future. Major Customers 3 Item 1. Business (Continued) Facilities The Company presently operates 18 offices in 9 states including 6 in California, 3 in Michigan, 3 in Connecticut, 1 in New York, 1 in Pennsylvania, 1 in South Carolina, 1 in Alabama, 1 in New Jersey, and 1 in Kentucky. Each of the offices operates as an independent profit center with each manager having overall responsibility for sales and marketing, recruiting and retention of temporary staffing employees and customer relations. An office staff typically consists of the manager and up to four regular staff personnel who market to the Company's customers, process applicants, match customer needs with available temporary staffing employees and monitor staffing employee performance. Where possible, the offices are grouped around a hub office in a key metropolitan center supervised by an area or district manager. Seasonal Variations 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. The Company usually experiences higher revenues in its fourth quarter due to increased economic activity and experiences lower revenues in its first quarter through February of the following year, showing gradual improvement over the remainder of the year. Expansion Plans The Company has adopted a long-term business strategy to increase its profitability through expansion of its existing operations and acquisitions of businesses that are strategically located or positioned to diversify the Company's customer base and geographical accessibility. The Company continues to carefully select acquisition candidates that meet specified criteria and that management believes will meet certain financial performance goals when integrated into the Company's proven operating model. The Company's acquisition of Great Lakes Design, Inc and Cataract, Inc. in December 1994 and August 1995, respectively, is consistent with this ongoing activity, and the Company periodically engages in discussions with possible acquisition candidates. On January 5, 1995 the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent regarding the possible acquisition of The Consortium, Inc. ("Consortium"), a privately-held provider of temporary technical employees based in Fairfield N J. The letter of intent contemplates the exchange of 6.5 million shares of the Company's common stock for all of the outstanding shares of Consortium. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 of Consortium approximated $26 million. Closing of the transaction is dependent on negotiation of definitive agreements and completion of due diligence. Because of these and other factors, there can be no assurance that the Consortium transaction will be successfully completed. The temporary services industry is fragmented and highly competitive, with limited barriers to entry. Within local markets, smaller firms actively compete with the Company for business, and in most of these markets, no single company has a dominant share of the market. The Company also competes with larger full-service and specialized competitors in national, regional and local markets, which have significantly greater marketing, financial and other resources than the Company. Competition 4 Item 1. Business (Continued) Competition (Continued) The Company believes that the primary competitive factors in obtaining and retaining clients are the ability to provide a wide range of staffing services and service an expansive geographic area, an understanding of clients specific job requirements, the ability to provide personnel with the appropriate skills in a timely manner, the monitoring of quality of job performance, and the pricing of services. The Company believes its strong emphasis on providing service and value to its customers and temporary staffing employees are important competitive advantages. Employees As of October 31, 1995, the Company employed on its permanent staff 68 persons, including 4 licensed professional engineers who, from time to time, participate in engineering and design projects undertaken by the Company. During the twelve months ended October 31, 1995, approximately 550 engineering and technical personnel were employed by the Company and provided to its clients to work on their projects for various periods. The Company has also employed approximately 5,700 temporary personnel during the year. None of the Company's employees, including its temporary employees, are represented by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good. Information pertaining to quarterly results can be found in footnote #12 to the financial statements. Quarterly Results Item 2. Properties The Company maintains its principal executive offices in Pennsauken, New Jersey. In addition, the Company leases branch offices in states listed under the caption "Facilities" in Item 1 hereof. The Company anticipates that it will not experience difficulties in renewing any of its current leases upon their expiration or obtaining different space on comparable terms if such leases cannot be renewed. Item 3. Legal Proceedings From time to time disagreements with individual employees and disagreements as to the interpretation, effect or nature of individual agreements arise in the ordinary course of business and may result in legal proceedings being commenced against the Company. The Company is not currently involved in any litigation or proceedings which are material, either individually or in the aggregate, and, to the Company's knowledge, no other legal proceedings of a material nature involving the Company are currently contemplated by any individuals, entities or governmental authorities. The principal risks that the Company insures against are workers' compensation, personal injury, property damage, professional malpractice, errors and omissions, and fidelity losses. The Company maintains insurance in such amounts and with such coverages and deductibles as management believes are reasonable and prudent. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders There were no matters submitted to the vote of security holders during the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995. 5 PART II Item 5.

It is the current policy of the Company's Board of Directors to retain all earnings to finance the development and expansion of the Company's business. The Company's Revolving Credit Facility prohibits the payment of dividends or the making distributions on account of the capital stock without the consent of Mellon Bank, N.A.. 6 Item 6.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview The Company continues to direct its resources and streamline its operations in response to changing economic conditions. The Company has developed an operating model which consists of a strong balanced approach to management, while maintaining an entrepreneurial spirit. Corporate management focuses on the overall performance of the Company. It establishes and maintains financial controls and provides financial data processing and administrative assistance to all its operating offices. It develops the business strategy, goals, and general operating guidelines for the Company, maintains strong relationships with the Company's principal customers, and oversees local management of operations. The Company believes that its performance-based compensation structure is a key factor to its success. The present downsizing of U.S. Corporations is a "permanent phenomenon" and management believes is essential in order to achieve productivity improvements, payroll cost reduction and work force flexibility. 1995 Compared To 1994 As a result of the current year acquisitions, the Company expects to increase future profitability. This is expected to be achieved by the increased sales generated by the Cataract, Inc. acquisition, cost savings related to the elimination of duplicate operating costs of the combined companies, the spreading of the Company's fixed expenses over a larger revenue base, as well as management's ability to control expenses during a period of revenue growth. On January 5, 1995 the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent regarding the possible acquisition of The Consortium, Inc. ("Consortium"), a privately-held provider of temporary technical employees based in Fairfield, NJ. The letter of intent contemplates the exchange of 6.5 million shares of the Company's common stock for all of the outstanding shares of Consortium. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 of Consortium approximated $26 million. Closing of the transaction is dependent on negotiation of definitive agreements and completion of due diligence. Because of these and other factors, there can be no assurance that the Consortium transaction will be successfully completed. The Company's net sales decreased $2,323,258 or 7.9% from 1994. This results principally from a reduction of services provided to a major customer who in turn has reduced its requirements for contract technical workers. Management believes the loss of this contract is not representative of current or future business conditions. Sales to the major customer decreased by $4,511,000 or 57.8% from 1994. The reduction in sales to the major customer was partially offset by sales generated from the current year acquisitions of Great Lakes Design, Inc. and Cataract, Inc. Cost of sales decreased $1,485,072 or 6.2% from 1994. The gross profit percentage for 1995 was 16.9% as compared to 18.4% for 1994. This was a consequence of the reduction in higher gross profit sales mix which was attributed to the decline in sales to the major customer. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $124,292 or 3.4% from 1994. This resulted from continuing efforts to streamline operating expenses as well as efforts to increase productivity of administrative and support activities. 8 1995 Compared To 1994 (Continued) Depreciation and amortization increased $37,256 or 40.0% from 1994. This resulted principally from the amortization of intangible assets attributable to the business acquisitions completed in 1995. Interest expense increased $3,962 or 11.6% from 1994. This resulted from the use of the Company's credit facility in the two months following the acquisition of Cataract, Inc. Other, net included in the caption Other Income (Expense) consisting principally of interest income increased $86,669 or 215% from 1994 due to the short term placement of the Company's cash reserves prior to the acquisition of Cataract, Inc. Income tax expense decreased $93,543 as a result of the lower level of pre-tax profit in the current year. Accounts receivable increased $1,633,583 at October 31, 1995 as compared to October 31, 1994. This results from the acquisition of Cataract, Inc. on August 30, 1995 and the increased level of sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995 as compared to fiscal year 1994. Property and equipment and intangible assets increased $458,651 and $3,568,932, respectively at October 31, 1995 as compared to October 31, 1994. This results principally from the Company's business acquisitions in fiscal 1995. Cash flows used in investing activities for the years ended October 31, 1995 and 1994 were $2,420,798 and $21,176, respectively. Most of the cash used in investing activities in 1995 was for acquisitions ($2,345,966). Cash flows used in financing activities for the years ended October 31, 1995 and 1994 were $916,084 and $34,463, respectively. The principal use of cash in 1995 was the repayment of $1,000,000 of long-term debt assumed with the acquisition of Cataract, Inc. 1994 Compared To 1993 The Company, with continued implementation of its strategic business plan, continued to show operational improvements. Results of operations reflected a net income of $1,426,005 ($.10 per share) in 1994 as compared to $733,025 ($.05 per share) in 1993. The continuing focus on operational improvements has improved profitability by $692,980 or 94.5% over the results for 1993. Sales increased $605,587 or approximately 2.1% from sales for 1993. Sales by IDI Personnel Services increased $1,870,000. Sales to offices servicing Dow Chemical and Dow Corning decreased by $1,116,000. Sales to Sikorsky Aircraft decreased by $569,053. This reduction in sales resulted from reduced personnel demand on the part of Dow Chemical, Dow Corning and Sikorsky Aircraft. Cost of sales decreased $522,636 or approximately 2.1% from 1993. This was achieved along with an increase in sales of $605,587. This results from an increase in gross profit margin of 3.9%. Gross profit increased by $1,128,223 or approximately 26.6% from 1993. This increase occurred as a direct result of the Company's continuing efforts to control its workmen's compensation and payroll related costs as well as its efforts to increase mark-ups with new and existing clients. Operating costs increased by $373,268 or approximately 11.0% from 1993. The 1994 increase in operating costs resulted from the addition of two offices in the New England area as well as bad debts of approximately $93,000. The two additional offices were merged together on April 1, 1994 to achieve efficiency and cost effectiveness. 9 1994 Compared To 1993 (Continued) Interest expense decreased by $21,079 or approximately 38.2% from 1993. The majority of this decrease resulted from the reduction of financing and interest costs associated with the Company's line of credit. Income tax expense increased by $109,178 or approximately 140.2% from 1993. This is the result of the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards on the state level in 1994 and the Company's becoming subject to the alternative minimum tax on the federal level. Liquidity and Capital Resources Key indicators of liquidity, balance sheet strength and capital resources are as shown in the following table: October 31, October 31, 1995 1994 Current assets $6,102,874 $6,234,472 Current liabilities 2,754,880 1,033,863 --------- --------- Working capital $3,347,994 $5,200,609 ========== ========== Current ratio 2.21 to 1 6.03 to 1 Borrowed capital $132,035 $ 74,397 Shareholders' equity $7,526,585 $5,477,480 Borrowed capital/ Shareholders' equity 1.7% 1.4% Common shares outstanding 15,961,118 14,399,565 Book value per common share .47 .38 During the year ended October 31, 1995, working capital decreased by $1,852.615. This was due to the use of $2,000,000 of cash to acquire Cataract, Inc. on August 30, 1995. The Company, at October 31, 1995 had $20,090 in long-term debt and the Company held $297,550 of cash (along with $3,240,883 of loan availability on its line of credit of $6,000,000). 10 Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued) On August 31, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A. for providing a credit facility in the maximum amount of $6,000,000. The agreement expires on June 30, 1998. The credit facility is collateralized by Intertec's and Cataract's accounts receivable, contract rights and furniture and fixtures with unlimited guarantees from RCM Technologies, Inc. The credit facility is used to supply Intertec and Cataract with the cash requirements needed to finance payroll relating to the provision of services to clients by Intertec and Cataract personnel prior to the time that Intertec and Cataract is paid by its customers. The loan requires both Intertec Design, Inc., Cataract, Inc., and RCM Technologies, Inc. to meet certain objectives with respect to financial ratios and earnings. Credit facility advances are to be used to meet cash flow requirements for Intertec Design, Inc., and Cataract, Inc. as well as operating expenses for RCM Technologies, Inc. Advances to RCM Technologies, Inc. in excess of its operating expenses must have prior bank approval. The Company believes this will sufficiently support the operations of both Intertec Design, Inc., Cataract, Inc., and RCM Technologies, Inc. Borrowings under the credit facility are based on 85% of accounts receivable on which not more than ninety days have elapsed since the date of invoicing. The interest rate charged is the prime rate of the Bank (effective rate of 8.75% and 9.00% at October 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively). At October 31, 1995 the outstanding borrowings under the credit facility was $914,435. The Company does not currently have material commitments for capital expenditures and does not anticipate entering into any such commitments during the next twelve months. The Company continues to evaluate for acquisition various businesses which are complementary to its current operations. The Company's current commitments consist primarily of lease obligations for office space. The Company believes that its capital resources are sufficient to meet its obligations incurred in the normal course of business for at least the next twelve months. 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. The Company usually experiences higher revenues in its fourth quarter due to increased economic activity and experiences lower revenues in its first quarter through February of the following year, showing gradual improvement over the remainder of the year. Impact of Inflation The effects of inflation on the Company's operations were not significant during the periods presented in the financial statements. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data The Company's financial statements, together with the report of the Company's independent auditors, are contained on pages F-1 through F-26. Item 9.

Executive Compensation (Continued) Employment Agreement Pursuant to an Employment Agreement dated April 15, 1994, the Company has agreed to employ Mr. Kopyt as President and Chief Executive Officer for a period of two years with a base annual salary of $235,000 and $260,000 per annum and an annual auto expense allowance of $14,400 for the twelve months ended April 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. In addition to the compensation provided for under the Agreement, Mr. Kopyt is to receive a bonus based on the consolidated operating profits before taxes for fiscal years ending October 31, 1994 and 1995 as follows: 1) up to $750,000 - 3% bonus, 2) in excess of $750,000 - 2% bonus. The bonus earned for fiscal 1995 amounted to $26,300. Termination Benefits Agreement The Company has a termination benefits agreement with the President which grants the right to receive up to 2.99 times the average aggregate annual compensation as reported for federal income tax purposes for the past five years plus continuation of certain benefits, and provides for the surrender of stock options in exchange for the payment by the Company of the difference between the option price and the share price on the date of change of control (as defined) within a period of five years thereafter or termination (as defined), whichever is higher. The maximum contingent liability as of October 31, 1995 for salary and incentive compensation is approximately $684,500. Compensation Pursuant to Plans 401K Retirement Plans The Company maintains two 401K plans as of October 31, 1995 which consists of a plan for the eligible employees of Intertec Design, Inc. and a plan for the eligible employees of Cataract, Inc., both wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. Both plans are substantially identical. Each of the plans is a profit-sharing plan, including a cash or deferred arrangement pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, sponsored by the Company for purposes of providing eligible employees an opportunity to defer compensation and have such deferred amounts contributed to the 401K Plan on a pre-tax basis, subject to certain limitations. The Company may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, make contributions of cash to match deferrals of compensation by participants. The Company made no contributions of cash to the 401K Plans to match deferrals of compensation by participants in the fiscal years ending October 31, 1995, 1994, or 1993. Amounts contributed to the 401K Plans by executive officers during the fiscal years ended October 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $11,035, $0 and $0 respectively. The amounts contributed by all employee participants, excluding officers, during the period November 1, 1992 to October 31, 1995 totaled $641,298. 18 Item 11. Executive Compensation (Continued) Item 11. Executive Compensation (Continued) Report of the Compensation Committee The compensation committee annually reviews the compensation of the Company's executive officers, Messrs. Kopyt (Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer) and Remer (Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer). As noted above, Mr. Kopyt has an employment agreement which commenced April 15, 1994 which provides for base compensation, an auto allowance and a bonus calculated as a percentage of the Company's consolidated operating profits before taxes. Annual increases in base compensation were provided for based upon expected inflation. As of the date of this report, Mr. Remer does not have an employment agreement, and his compensation is set annually by the Board based upon the Compensation committee's recommendation. In addition to compensation provided pursuant to their employment agreements, the executive officers were granted stock options pursuant to the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan. Grants of options are intended to be a significant portion of total executive compensation and are intended to align the executive's interest with those of the Company's stockholders. In light of the relatively limited trading volume in the Company's common stock, the compensation committee believes that financial performance is a better indicator of executive performance than the Company's share price. In assessing such performance, the compensation committee examines a number of financial indicators, such as net sales, operating income, net income and earnings per share. However, compensation decisions are not based upon any precise formula and no factor is accorded any greater weight than the other factors. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Company achieved records in each of the four indicators of financial performance. In light of these results, the Board, with the Compensation Committee's approval, provided Mr. Kopyt with an increase in the number of options granted to 201,500 from 150,000 the year before. In addition, Mr. Remer's base salary was increased to $100,000 per year from the prior level of $80,000. 19 Item 11. Executive Compensation (Continued) Comparison of Five -Year Cumulative Total Returns The following graph compares the performance of the Company's Common Stock with the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index ("S&P 500 Index") and a peer group index by measuring the changes in common stock prices from October 31, 1990, plus assumed reinvested dividends. The Securities and Exchange Commission's rules require, if a published peer group does not exist, that a company create a peer group index with which to compare its stock performance by selecting a group of companies in lines of business similar to its own. The Company has found no published peer group which accurately mirrors the Company's business. Accordingly, the Company has created a special peer group index that includes companies in the principal lines of business in which the Company does business. The common stocks of the following companies have been included in the Peer Group Index: Amserv Healthcare, Inc., General Employment Enterprises, C.H. Heist Corp., Joule, Inc., National Technical Systems, Inc., Right Management Consultants, Winston Resources, Brandon Systems Corp., GTS Duratek, Inc., Keane, Inc., On Assignment, Inc., Uniforce Temp Personnel, Inc. and Care Group, Inc. The chart assumes that $100 was invested on October 31, 1990 in the Company's Common Stock, the S&P 500 Index and the peer group index, and that all dividends were reinvested. In addition, the graph weighs the peer group on the basis of its respective market capitalization, measured at the beginning of each relevant time period.

F - 7 RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS October 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business RCM Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Intertec Design, Inc. (IDI), and Cataract, Inc. (CAT) provides contract technical services and the furnishing of engineering and technical personnel to and performing of engineering projects for other companies throughout the country, principally those in the aerospace, electronics, energy and public utility industries. The Company also provides temporary office, clerical and industrial personnel through IDI Personnel Services, a division of Intertec Design, Inc. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Property, equipment and capital leases Depreciation of equipment is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives on the straight line basis. Estimated useful lives range from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Leases which meet certain criteria are classified as capital leases and assets and liabilities are recorded at amounts equal to the lesser of the present value of the minimum future lease payments or the fair value of the leased properties at the inception of the respective lease terms. Assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the related lease terms or their economic lives. Interest expense relating to the lease obligations is recorded to effect constant rates of interest over the terms of the leases. Leases not meeting the criteria of capital leases are classified as operating leases and rentals are charged to expense as incurred. Income taxes The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. F - 8 RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS October 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized concurrently with the performance of services. When the Company enters into long-term contracts for the supply of temporary personnel, billings are rendered for employee hours worked according to contractual billing rates. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on cost plus fixed fee contracts represents billings in excess of revenue recognized. Labor and overhead costs, and earnings on contracts with government contractors are subject to audit by the primary contractor or a division of the United States government. Profit sharing plan The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan (401-K Plan). Participation in the plan is available to all eligible employees as defined in the plan. Company contributions to the plan are based on a percentage of the employee's contributions to the plan subject to management's election to make a contribution. There were no contributions charged to operations by the Company for fiscal years ended October 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. Cash Equivalents For purposes of presenting the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Certain reclassification have been made to the 1994 and 1993 financial statements to conform to the 1995 presentation. Income per share Reclassification Income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. For fiscal years ended October 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 common stock equivalents of 370,754, 275,995 and 47,506 shares, respectively, computed under the treasury stock method were included as common shares outstanding. F - 9 RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS October 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Intangible Assets Intangible assets primarily consist of goodwill associated with the acquired businesses. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed if the facts and circumstances suggest that it may be impaired. If this review indicates that goodwill will not be recoverable, as determined based on the undiscounted cash flows of the entity acquired over the remaining amortization period, the Company's carrying value of the goodwill is reduced by the estimated shortfall of cash flows. Other intangible assets consist primarily of a noncompete agreement, which is amortized over the term of the agreement. The FASB issued a new standard, SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," which provides guidance on when to recognize and how to measure impairment losses of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles and how to value long-lived assets to be disposed of. The Company anticipates that adoption of this new statement will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company is required to adopt this new standard for its year ended October 31, 1997. Concentration of credit risk The Company has invested its excess cash in commercial paper and money market funds and in deposits with a major bank. The Company has not experienced any losses on its investments. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to each of its customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains adequate allowances for potential credit losses. The AICPA's Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position (SOP) 94-6, "Disclosures of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties," which requires disclosures addressing an entities unique risks and uncertainties, as well as increased "early warning disclosures" identifying possible risks and uncertainties. The Company has provided these disclosures in the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 1995. 2. Acquisitions During fiscal year ended October 31, 1995, the Company had acquired two businesses in the staffing services industry. These acquisitions, which are described below, have been accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in the consolidated results of operations of the Company from the date of acquisition. On December 15, 1994, the Company purchased certain operating assets of Great Lakes Design, Inc. for $200,000 in the form of a $150,000 note payable and $50,000 in cash. In addition, the Company will share with the seller a portion of the operating income for a period of five years. Costs in excess of assets acquired of $52,800 are being amortized over a period of forty years. F - 10 RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS October 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 2. Acquisitions - (Continued) A covenant not to compete of $107,100 is being amortized over a five year period. The note payable is uncollateralized, bears interest at 8% per annum and is payable in quarterly installments of $20,490 including interest with a final maturity date of December 1, 1996.On August 30, 1995, RCM Technologies, Inc. ("Registrant") acquired Cataract, Inc., a supplier of management, engineering, design and technical services to the nuclear power, fossil fuel, electric utilities and process industries. The acquisition was completed through a merger transaction (the "Merger") pursuant to which Cataract, Inc. was merged with and into a newly-created subsidiary of the Registrant, which then concurrently changed its name to "Cataract, Inc." The Merger consideration payable to the former shareholders of Cataract, Inc. consisted of $2,000,000 cash and 1,561,553 restricted shares of the Registrant's common stock (the "Shares") valued at $1,200,000 (based upon the average closing bid price of the Registrant's common stock for the 30 calendar days immediately preceding the closing date). The cost in excess of net assets acquired was $3,385,966. The cost in excess of net assets acquired is being amortized over a 40 year period. The shares issued to the former Cataract, Inc. shareholders have been pledged to the Company for a period of three years to secure the performance of certain conditions subsequent to the Merger relating to the achievement of certain levels of sales revenues that have been warranted by the former Cataract, Inc. shareholders. Following the expiration of the pledge period, the Shares are to be placed in a voting trust until the earlier of: (i) the public or private sale of such Shares in open market transactions to unaffiliated third parties; or (ii) the resignation or removal from office of Leon Kopyt, currently Chief Executive Officer and President of the Registrant. Notwithstanding the above, one-third of the Shares shall be released from trust commencing upon the fifth anniversary of the closing, and thereafter an additional one-third of the Shares shall be released from trust upon each of the sixth and seventh annual anniversaries of the closing date. During the period in which the Shares are subject to pledge and the voting trust, the Shares are to be voted by the Registrant's Board of Directors on behalf of the former shareholders of Cataract, Inc. The following unaudited results of operations have been prepared assuming the acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented. Those results are not necessarily indicative of results of future operations nor of results that would have occurred had the 1995 acquisitions been consummated as of the beginning of the periods presented.

Note Payable - Bank The Company maintains a $6,000,000 credit facility with Mellon Bank, N.A. with a maturity date of June 1998. The credit facility is collateralized by accounts receivable, contract rights, and furniture and fixtures with unlimited guarantees from RCM Technologies, Inc. The credit facility requires both IDI and CAT and RCM Technologies, Inc. to meet certain covenants with respect to financial ratios and earnings. Advances to RCM Technologies, Inc. in excess of its operating expenses must have prior bank approval. Borrowings under the credit facility are based on 85% of receivables on which not more than ninety days have elapsed since the date of invoicing. The current interest rate charged is the prime rate of the bank. The previous rate was 1.25% above the prime rate at October 31, 1994. The effective rates were 8.75% and 9.00% at October 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The bank charges a fee of .25% per annum on the unused portion of the credit facility. At October 31, 1995, there was $3,240,883 available under the credit facility. F - 13 RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

The warrants expire on October 1, 1996 unless otherwise extended by the Board of Directors. Incentive Stock Option Plans On April 20, 1982, the shareholders approved the RCM Technologies, Inc. 1982 Incentive Stock Option Plan ("1982 Plan") which authorized the issuance not later than April 13, 1992 of up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock to officers, directors and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. On February 27, 1986, the shareholders approved the RCM Technologies, Inc. 1986 Incentive Stock Option Plan ("1986 Plan") which authorizes the issuance not later than October 30, 1995 of up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock to officers, directors and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. On April 23, 1992, the shareholders approved the RCM Technologies, Inc. 1992 Incentive Stock Option Plan ("1992 Plan") which authorizes the issuance not later than February 13, 2002 of up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock to officers, directors and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The 1986 and 1992 Plans contain substantially the same terms as the 1982 Plan. Options under all plans are intended to be incentive stock options pursuant to Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code. The option terms for all plans cannot exceed ten years and the exercise price cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares at the time of grant. On May 19, 1994, the shareholders approved the RCM Technologies, Inc. 1994 Nonemployee Directors Stock Option Plan ("1994 Plan") as a means of recruiting and retaining nonemployee directors of the Company. There are 400,000 shares of Common Stock reserved under the plan for issuance no later than July 19, 2004. All director stock options are granted at fair market value at the date of grant. The exercise of options granted is contingent upon service as a director for a period of one year. If the optionee ceases to be a director of the Company, any option granted shall terminate.

Compensation is then recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Alternatively, the standard permits entities to continue accounting for employee stock options and similar equity instruments under APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issue to Employees." Entities that continue to account for stock options using APB Opinion 25 are required to make pro forma disclosures of net income and income per share, as if the fair value-based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has not determined which method it will follow in the future, but anticipates following APB Opinion 25. The Company will be required to adopt the new standard for its year ended October 31, 1997. 8. Commitments Employment Contract and Termination Benefits Agreement The Company has an employment agreement with its President which expires on April 30, 1996. In addition to a base salary, the agreement provides for a bonus based on pre-tax earnings. No maximum compensation limit exists. The aggregate commitment for future salaries at October 31, 1995, excluding bonuses, was $130,000. In addition to the above compensation, an option plan is available for all employees to receive stock options resulting from recommendations by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company has a termination benefits agreement with the President which grants the right to receive up to 2.99 times the average aggregate annual compensation as reported for federal income tax purposes for the past five years plus continuation of certain benefits, and provides for the surrender of stock options in exchange for the payment by the Company of the difference between the option price and the share price on the date of change of control (as defined) within a period of five years thereafter or termination (as defined), which ever is higher.
