1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as
of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 1998 and
1997. The results of operations for such interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The 1997
condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company's
audited financial statements which have been restated to include the
results of acquisitions accounted for as poolings (see Note 3), but
does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1997.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", on January 1, 1998. As required
by the Statement, the Company displays the accumulated balance of other
comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional
paid-in capital in the equity section of the Balance Sheet. Items
considered to be other comprehensive income are the adjustments made
for unrealized holding gains and losses on available for sale
securities. Comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997 was $7.7 million and $1.2 respectively. Comprehensive
income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $14.2
million and $2.5 million, respectively.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share are based on the average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during each period and such shares issuable upon
assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, using the treasury
stock method. The following data show the amounts used in computing
earnings per share and the effect on the weighted average number of
shares of dilutive potential common stock (in thousands, except per
share data):

3. ACQUISITIONS (continued)

Eleven of the acquisitions were accounted for as purchases, and
accordingly, the operating results of the acquired companies have been
included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements since the dates of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price
of these acquisitions was approximately $45.070 million, and includes
future contingent consideration of up to $3.742 million in cash and
$9.750 million of restricted common stock of the Company (estimated
stock value at date of acquisition), based on the acquired companies'
ability to meet certain performance goals. The aggregate purchase
price, excluding future contingent consideration, has been allocated to
the net assets of the Company based upon their respective fair market
values.

The unaudited pro forma information for the periods set forth below
give effect to the acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1,
1998 and January 1, 1997. The pro forma information is presented for
informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations that actually would have been achieved had these
transactions been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented
(in thousands, except per share data):

The Company exchanged 1.975 million shares of its common stock for all
of the common stock of the five acquisitions accounted for under the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations.
Accordingly, the Company's financial statements have been restated to
include the results of the pooled entities for all periods presented.

4. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Since June 30, 1998, the Company has closed the following four
acquisitions: one national franchisor of financial and tax services,
two accounting, consulting and tax advisory businesses and one
property tax management and consulting firm. In addition, the Company
has announced the acquisition of twelve additional companies which
include the following: ten accounting, consulting and tax advisory
businesses and two benefits design, consulting and administration
firms. The combined cost of these transactions is approximately
$36.584 million in cash, $44.160 million of restricted Company common
stock, and $6.321 million of unrestricted Company common stock.

On August 10, 1998, the Company amended and restated its revolving
credit facility dated October 3, 1997 which resulted in an increase in
the amount of available credit from $50 million to $100 million and a
change in the term from three to five years. Other than that noted
above, there were no other substantial changes in terms or conditions.

5. RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 financial
statements to conform to the 1998 presentation.

CENTURY BUSINESS SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Century Business Services, Inc. ("the Company") is a leading provider of
outsourced business services to small and medium sized companies throughout the
United States. The Company provides integrated services in the following areas:
accounting systems, advisory and tax, employee benefits design and
administration, human resources, information technology systems, payroll
administration, specialty insurance, valuation, and workers' compensation.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues

Total revenues increased to $69.7 million and $134.1 million for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, from $26.0
million and $47.2 million for the comparable periods in 1997. The increase in
revenues was primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition activity in
outsourced business services.

Business service fees and commissions increased to $56.3 million and
$108.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998,
respectively, from $15.0 million and $26.0 million for the comparable periods in
1997. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions completed in
1998. Due to the majority of recent acquisitions having been accounted for under
the purchase method, the Company's consolidated financial statements give effect
to such acquisitions only from their respective acquisition dates.

Premiums earned increased to $11.3 million and $21.8 million for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, from $8.4 million
and $16.4 million for the comparable periods in 1997. The increase in premiums
earned was primarily attributable to the growth in surety bonds and commercial
liability premiums over 1997 levels, the introduction of workers compensation
coverage emanating from an August 1997 business transaction and the assumption
of contract surety premiums under a certain reinsurance agreement entered into
in 1997.

Net investment income increased to $1.2 million and $2.6 million for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, from $1.1
million and $2.3 million for the comparable periods in 1997. This decrease was
primarily attributable to increased invested assets.

Net realized gain on investments decreased to $0.7 million and $1.4
million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively,
from $1.1 million and $2.0 million for the comparable periods in 1997. This
decrease was primarily attributable to the composition of investments sold
during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 versus the comparable
periods in 1997.

Expenses

Total expenses increased to $57.5 million and $111.3 million for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, from $22.6
million and $40.4 million for the comparable periods in 1997. Such increase was
primarily attributable to the increase in operating expenses, which reflects the
impact of the Company's acquisitions made in 1998 and the corresponding increase
of corporate staff and related integration costs. As a percentage of revenues,
total expenses decreased to 82.4% and 87.0% for the three-month periods ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and 83.0% and 85.7% for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Operating expenses for the business services operations increased to
$43.2 million and $83.2 million for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1998, respectively, from $12.6 million and $21.5 million for the comparable
periods in 1997. Such increase was attributable to business services
acquisitions completed in 1998. As a percentage of fees and commissions,
operating expenses decreased to 76.6% and 84.1% for the three-month periods
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and 76.9% and 82.8% for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.


-9-
10

Loss and loss adjustment expenses increased to $5.2 million and $10.8
million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively,
from $4.6 million and $9.4 million for the comparable periods in 1997. Such
increase was attributable to increased premium volume for commercial liability
coverage and workers compensation. As a percentage of premiums earned, loss and
loss adjustment expenses decreased to 45.6% and 55.0% for the three-month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and 49.5% and 57.4% for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Such decreases
were the result of better than expected incurred loss results for certain lines
of business.

Policy acquisition and other expenses increased to $5.6 million and
$10.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998,
respectively, from $3.5 million and $6.8 million for the comparable periods in
1997. The increase corresponds primarily to the increase in premium volume and
regionalization of the property and casualty operation.

Corporate general and administrative expenses increased to $1.8 million
and $3.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998,
respectively, from $1.3 million and $1.6 million for the comparable periods in
1997. Such increase was attributable to the expanding of the corporate function
to accommodate the Company's acquisition strategy. Corporate general and
administrative expenses represented 2.6% and 4.8% of total revenues for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and 2.5% and
3.4% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $1.8 million and
$3.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998,
respectively, from $1.0 million for the comparable periods in 1997. The increase
is a result of the increase of goodwill amortization resulting from the
acquisitions completed by the Company in 1998 and 1997. As a percentage of total
revenues, depreciation and amortization expense was 2.6% for the three-month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, and was 2.6% and 2.2% for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Such increase was
attributable to the implementation of the Company's acquisition strategy.

OTHER

The Company's 1998 condensed consolidated balance sheet includes net
increase in goodwill of $78.0 million since December 31, 1997 and relates to
goodwill recorded in accordance with APB Opinion No. 16 upon the consummation of
seventeen acquisitions which were accounted for as purchases during 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first six months of 1998, cash and cash equivalents
increased $25.8 million as cash generated from financing activities of $70.2
million exceeded cash used in operating activities of $0.8 million and
cash used in investing activities of $43.7 million. The normal seasonal changes
occurred between year-end and the end of the second quarter and resulted in
increased accounts receivable and premiums receivable. Cash used in investing
activities consisted primarily of investment activity, new business
acquisitions, and capital expenditures. Cash provided by financing activities
consisted primarily of proceeds received from a private placement of 3.8 million
shares during the first quarter 1998.

YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE

The Company has begun to modify its information systems to enable
proper processing of transactions relating to the year 2000 and beyond. Project
completion is planned for the end of 1998. The Company is expensing as incurred
all costs associated with these system changes and such costs are not expected
to exceed $2.0 million. Most of such costs will be incurred in the latter part
of 1998 and will be funded from operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company does not engage in trading market risk sensitive
instruments and does not purchase hedging instruments or "other than trading"
instruments that are likely to expose the Company to market risk, whether
interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodity price or equity price risk.
The Company has issued no debt instruments, entered into no forward or futures
contracts, purchased no options and entered into no swaps. The Company's primary
market risk exposure is that of interest rate risk. A change in the Federal
Funds Rate, or the Reference Rate set by the Bank of America (San Francisco),
would affect the rate at which the Company could borrow funds under its Credit
Facility.
