1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the operations of Diversified Corporate Resources, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company", "our", "we", or "us"). The financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2003.

All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances to conform to the current year presentation.

Stock Based Compensation

We account for Stock Based Compensation to employees and directors under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations rather than the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation". No stock-based employee compensation expense for stock options was reflected in net income (loss) for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, as all stock options granted had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings (loss) per share as if the fair value method had been applied to all outstanding options:

2. Earnings Per (Loss) Share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") was determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS includes these shares plus common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. (Common stock equivalents are excluded if the effects of inclusion are anti-dilutive.)

Following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period for basic and diluted EPS:

3. Liquidity and Management Plans

On December 24, 2002, we entered into a secured line of credit agreement with Greenfield Commercial Credit, LLC (the "Greenfield Facility"), and, in the process, repaid in full the amounts owed under the credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation (the "GE Facility"). The Greenfield Facility is for a one-year term, pursuant to which the Company has the right to borrow up to $4.0 million. All of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries are pledged to secure this debt obligation, and most of these subsidiaries have guaranteed the repayment of the Company's obligations thereunder. Under the terms and conditions of the Greenfield Facility, all cash receipts deposited in our lock boxes are swept by the lender daily. This procedure, combined with the Company's policy of maintaining zero balance operating accounts, results in our reporting a balance of "obligations not liquidated because of outstanding checks" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Under the terms of the Greenfield Facility, outstanding loan balances bear interest at the lender's index rate plus 8%, and interest is payable monthly. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the weighted average interest rate on the borrowings under the facility was 13.0%; the interest rate at March 31, 2003 was 13.8%. As of March 31, 2003, the amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit amounted to $3,011,000 and the net borrowing availability was $4,000.

In connection with the Greenfield Facility, J. Michael Moore, our CEO and Chairman ("Moore") executed a Validity Guaranty (the "JMM Guaranty"). The JMM Guaranty basically obligates Moore to repay the Greenfield loan in the event and to the extent that the Company engages in any inappropriate activities related to the Greenfield Facility. As the result of Moore executing the JMM Guaranty, our Board of Directors has previously indicated that it is their intent to indemnify Moore against actions taken by others in the organization with which he had no knowledge.

At various times in 2002 and to date in 2003, we were or have been in default of our obligations to make debt payments with respect to our acquisition debt, i.e. obligations to the former owners of Datatek and Texcel. As of the date of this report, we are not in default with respect to any of the amounts payable to the former owners of Datatek and Texcel. We owe approximately $330,000 to the former owners of Datatek and approximately $743,000 (plus accrued and unpaid interest) to the former owners of Texcel.

Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement effective January 8, 1999, by and among the Company, Compass Bank (the "Bank"), DCRI L.P. No. 2, Inc. ("L.P. No. 2"), an entity controlled by Moore, and Moore, the Company is obligated to purchase from the Bank two promissory notes (the "Notes") issued to the Bank by LP No.2. We have been notified that an entity affiliated with Moore has entered into a purchase agreement with the Bank that, upon its consummation, will eliminate the Company's obligation to the Bank. As of November 13, 2002, when L.P. No. 2 filed for bankruptcy protection, the amount payable to the Bank pursuant to the Notes was approximately $270,000. The Notes are secured by 168,500 shares of the Company's common stock pledged to the Bank by L.P. No. 2 and Moore. Based on the market price of the Company's common stock on November 13, 2002, the unsecured balance of the liability to the Bank by all parties involved was approximately $252,000. The Company does not have the funds availab le to purchase the Notes if required to do so under the terms of the Purchase Agreement. As the Notes are guaranteed by Moore, we believe, based upon financial information provided by Moore, that Moore has the financial ability to satisfy the Notes.

Availability of credit under our only source of liquidity, the Greenfield Facility, is contingent on our success in generating eligible accounts receivable from operations. Consequently, a temporary contraction in revenue (and thus eligible accounts receivable) or an unfavorable outcome of litigation could cause us to default with respect to our acquisition debt and, generally, materially affect our cash flow and ability to stay in business. This factor, among others, indicates that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern.

We are, of course, continuing to evaluate various financing and restructuring strategies designed to expand our sources of liquidity, and to maximize shareholder value. We can provide no assurance that we will be successful in implementing the changes necessary to accomplish these objectives, or if we are successful, that the changes will improve our cash flow and liquidity.

As of March 31, 2003, we have a federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $7.4 million, which if unused, expires in 2021. In addition, we have various state net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $10.4 million as of March 31, 2003, which, if unused, expire in varying amounts over the next 20 years.

As of March 31, 2003, because of the factors discussed in Footnote No. 3, "Liquidity and Management Plans," we recorded a net valuation allowance of $2.7 million against the entire amount of the net deferred tax asset.

5. Contingencies

In 1996, Ditto Properties Company ("DPC") filed suit against L.P. No. 2. Moore and the Company were also initially named as garnishees in this lawsuit (the "Ditto Litigation") with respect to 899,200 shares (the " LP Shares") of common stock of the Company which were the subject matter of a series of transactions in 1993 (collectively referred to herein as the "1993 Transactions") which ultimately resulted in the LP Shares being conveyed by DPC to L.P. No. 2. Subsequent to the initial filing of this litigation, Moore was added as a defendant in such proceedings and F. Scott Otey and Jeffery Loadman intervened as parties to the litigation. On April 12, 2001, DPC and Donald R. Ditto Sr. filed an amended petition in the Ditto Litigation and named the Company as a defendant in such lawsuit. The venue for the Ditto Litigation is the District Court of Dallas County, Texas, 298th Judicial District (the "Court"). The relief sought by the plaintiffs include, among other things, ownership of the LP Shares, at least $6.5 million in compensatory damages and at least $26.1 million in punitive and exemplary damages. As of the date of this report, no amount of loss reserves has been established by the Company in connection with the Ditto Litigation because management does not believe that the likely result of the litigation will adversely impact our financial position or results of operation.

In the past, the Company has incurred legal fees on its own behalf and has funded certain of the legal fees and expenses of Moore and/or L.P. No. 2 in connection with the Ditto Litigation. As the result of the Company being named as a defendant in 2001, the Company retained counsel separate from Moore and (a) approved the payment to Moore of up to $250,000 to fund legal fees and expenses anticipated to be incurred by Moore and L.P. No. 2 in the Ditto Litigation; (b) entered into an Indemnification Agreement with each of the officers and directors of the Company pursuant to which these individuals will be indemnified in connection with matters related to the Ditto Litigation; and (c) amended the Bylaws of the Company to require the Company to indemnify its present and former officers and directors to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Texas, in connection with any litigation in which such persons became a party subsequent to March 29, 2001, and in which such persons a re involved in connection with performing their duties as officers or directors of the Company. Through March 31, 2003, the Company has expended approximately $200,000 as part of the aforesaid $250,000 to be paid to or for the benefit of Moore.

We are also involved in certain other litigation and disputes not noted. With respect to these matters, management believes the claims against us are without merit and has concluded that their ultimate resolution will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

6. Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition and Cost of Services

Fees from permanent personnel placement are recognized as income at the time the applicant accepts employment. A provision is made for estimated losses in realization of such fees (principally due to applicants not commencing employment, or not remaining in employment for the guaranteed period). Revenues from contract and specialty staffing are recognized upon performance of services. Direct costs of contract and specialty staffing consists of direct wages and related payroll taxes paid to non-permanent personnel.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement requires the following three-step approach for assessing and recognizing the impairment of long-lived assets: (1) consider whether indicators of impairment of long-lived assets are present; (2) if indicators of impairment are present, determine whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the assets in question is less than their carrying amount; and (3) if less, recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their respective fair values. In addition, SFAS No. 144 provides more guidance on estimating cash flows when performing a recoverability test, requires that a long-lived asset to be disposed of other than by sale (such as abandoned) be classified as "held and used" until it is disposed of, and establishes more restrictive criteria to classify an asset as "held for sale ". The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on our financial statements since it retained the fundamental provisions of SFAS No, 121, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," related to the recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be "held and used."

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF Issue No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the fair value is the objective for the initial measurement of the liability. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit and disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. This statement will impact the timing of our recognition of liabilities for costs associat ed with exit or disposal activities.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, overall net revenue decreased $0.6 million, or 5%, to $12.1 million as compared to $12.7 million for the previous year period. As noted in the table above, revenue derived from contract and specialty staffing increased $0.2 million, or 2%, as an increase in revenues from our Datatek operations exceeded the decrease of $2.4 million, resulting from the sale of our Mountain division in December 2002. Permanent placement revenue decreased $0.8 million, or 29%, as a result of the continuing effect of hiring freezes and staff reductions implemented by our customers due to the recession in the economy. We continue to experience a change in our business mix as revenue derived from contract and specialty staffing comprised 83% of total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, as compared to 77% of total revenue in the previous year period.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, we continued the process of exiting the Telecommunications core industry vertical and increasing revenue from the Biological Technologies/Pharmacies and Healthcare core industry vertical. Following is a breakdown of the relative percentage contributions to our gross revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 of each of the three solutions within each of the four core verticals:

For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, our total gross margin decreased by $0.8 million, or 17%, to $3.9 million as compared to $4.7 million in the previous year period. The decline in permanent placement revenues accounted for all of the absolute decrease in total gross margin. Overall gross margin, as a percentage of net service revenue, declined to 32%, as compared with 37% in the previous year period, primarily due to the change in business mix noted above. As a percentage of contract and specialty staffing, the gross margin derived therefrom for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was 18%, the same as in the previous year period.

Operating expenses amounted to $4.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 23%, as compared to the previous year period. Included in operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $1.9 million of variable sales expenses, which were down $0.5 million as compared to the previous year period due primarily to the reduction in commissions associated with the decline in revenue from permanent placement. In addition, for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, general and administrative expenses amounted to $1.9 million, a decline of $0.7 million, or 25%, as compared to the previous year period. Business initiatives implemented throughout 2002, including a review of our business processes, organizational structure and the level of permanent workforce, accounted for the decrease in general and administrative expenses.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, net interest expense was $176,000, as compared to $247,000 in the previous year period. The decrease was due to the absence, in 2003, of forbearance fees being charged to the Company in 2002 by its previous lender. Depreciation expense amounted to $0.3 million in both the current and the previous year period.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, as a result of an increase to our deferred tax valuation allowance, we reported no income tax benefit. As a result of the finalization of the 2001 Federal Income Tax Return and the associated 1996 through 2000 Amended Federal Income Tax Returns, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

Overall, we reported a $0.4 million net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, as compared to a net loss of $0.7 million for the previous year period.

As a result of the significant decrease in variable selling, selling and general and administrative expenses, we realized, for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, a net profit before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization, (i.e. a positive EBITDA), of $51,000, compared to a net loss before such items (i.e. a negative EBITDA) of $327,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Following is a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002:

Management believes that the above presentation of EBITDA shows that efforts to streamline our business by exiting a less than promising core industry vertical, obtaining less expensive debt financing and cutting other costs can cause a dramatic turnaround in operating results. The presentation of EBITDA also permits the investors to compare a peer goup's core operations without regard to differences in capital costs, income tax status or non-cash items. Presentation of the EBITDA should, therefore, provide useful information to investors in their evaluation of management's future efforts to streamline the core operations of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, cash provided by operating activities was approximately $0.2 million, principally from the collection of receivables. Substantially all of such cash was used to repay borrowings under the Greenfield Facility.

As discussed in Item 1 above, the Greenfield Facility is our sole source of liquidity, with our borrowing capacity thereunder at any given time depending on the amount of eligible accounts receivable. Management is continuing in its efforts to increase the gross margin, in spite of the relative growth in revenue of the lower margin contract and special staffing as a percentage of total revenues, and decrease operating expenses, i.e. to utilize this source of liquidity as efficiently as possible and survive in these difficult times for our industry. The risk remains, however, that management's efforts may not be sufficient to offset the impact of a temporary contraction in revenue or an unfavorable outcome of litigation and we might be unable to continue as a going concern.

We are, of course, continuing to evaluate various financing strategies, including an injection of equity capital which should strengthen our balance sheet and enlarge our borrowing capacity. We can provide no assurance that our efforts in this regard will be successful or that our cash flow and liquidity will improve.

Inflation has not had a significant effect on our operating results.

Actual Results May Differ From Forward Looking Statements

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts, including, but not limited to, projections or expectations of future financial or economic performance of the Company, and statements of our plans and objectives for future operations are "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. No assurance can be given that actual results or events will not differ materially from those projected, estimated, assumed or anticipated in any such "forward-looking" statements. Important factors (the "Cautionary Disclosures") that could result in such differences include: general economic conditions in our markets, including inflation, recession, interest rates and other economic factors; the availability of qualified personnel; our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions or joint ventures with our operations (including the ability to successfully integrate businesses that may be diverse as to their type, geographic area or customer base); the level of competition experienced by us; our ability to implement our business strategies and to manage our growth; the level of development revenues and expenses; the level of litigation expenses; our ability to effectively implement an e-commerce strategy; and other factors that affect businesses generally. Subsequent written and oral "forward-looking" statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified by the Cautionary Disclosures.

ITEM 3. Quantative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks from fluctuations in interest rates and the effects of those fluctuations on the earnings of our cash equivalent short-term investments, as well as interest expense on line of credit borrowings. Assuming that interest rates increase by 200 basis points (2%) above the interest rates at March 31, 2003, on an annualized basis interest over expense would increase by approximately $0.1 million based on the outstanding line of credit borrowings of $3.0 million at March 31, 2003.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures performed by the Company's management within 90 days of the filing date of this report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that the Company has appropriate disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its periodic reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission.

Since the date of such evaluation, there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
