our common stock. You should carefully read this entire prospectus, including

ABOUT OUR COMPANY

We are a leading global provider of career transition and organizational
consulting services. We were founded in 1980 as a local executive career
transition services firm and since then we have grown to offer a full spectrum
of services to meet the global workforce management needs of our clients and
their employees. Based on pro forma revenues, including Coutts Consulting
Group Limited, we believe that we are the largest provider of career
transition services in each of North America, Europe and Asia (excluding
Japan), and the second-largest provider in Japan. We provide our services to
clients from over 300 offices in over 35 countries. For the three months ended
March 31, 2002, on a pro forma basis including our recent acquisition of
Coutts, we generated approximately 51% of our revenues from the United States,
28% from Europe, 10% from Japan, 6% from Canada, 4% from the Asia-Pacific
region (excluding Japan) and 1% from Brazil.

Career Transition Services

Our career transition services help our clients plan and implement business
initiatives that entail reductions in their workforces. We are retained
exclusively by employers to provide services to their displaced employees on
an individual or group basis to assist them in finding new employment. We
provided career transition services to approximately 5,100 client companies
during 2001, including a majority of the companies that comprise the Fortune
500. Our career transition services provided approximately 83% of our total
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Individual Career Transition Services. Historically, approximately 75% of our
career transition revenue is generated from individual career transition
services. Our individual career transition services for employers include
advice on conducting the termination interview, terms of severance pay and
other termination benefits. Our services to terminated employees include:

o assistance in handling the initial difficulties of separation;

o identifying continuing career goals and options;

o planning an alternative career;

o aiding in the development of skills such as resume writing, effective
  networking, identifying and researching potential employers, and preparing
  and rehearsing for interviews;

o continuing consulting and motivation throughout the job search;

o assessing new employment offers and methods of accepting such offers; and

o assisting with financial planning.

Group Career Transition Services. Historically, approximately 25% of our
career transition revenue is generated from group career transition services,
which consist of providing transition services to groups of employees for
employers making large reductions in their workforces due to reorganizations,
restructurings or other reasons. Our group programs provide, as their core,
seminars for generally up to twelve employees per group, with sessions
extending over one to five days, which are often preceded or followed by
individual counseling. In addition, we can design, staff or manage career
centers for corporate clients that need to provide career transition services
in connection with a large-scale reduction in workforce. Career centers are
organized like our company offices, and are staffed with our consultants and
administrative personnel who provide office support technology and services.



                                                                              1


Organizational Consulting Services

We provide organizational consulting services that assist organizations and
their employees with:

o Organizational performance - building competencies by identifying the skills,
  knowledge and personal characteristics that determine success in a given
  company;

o Leadership development - developing leaders through executive coaching and
  customized leadership development programs; and

o Talent management - growing talent by attracting, motivating and retaining
  the best people in a highly competitive talent marketplace.

Our organizational consulting services provided approximately 17% of our total
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Our Growth Strategy

We believe we are well positioned to continue to expand into new markets and
offer new services to provide greater value to our clients. To serve our
clients better and grow our business, we intend to continue pursuing the
following strategic initiatives:

o leverage our global presence to increase our share of services to large
multinational clients;

o capitalize on cross-selling opportunities with our existing clients;

o identify and pursue strategic acquisitions;

o build our brand and culture; and

o develop our technology-based tools and delivery capabilities.

Coutts Acquisition

On March 22, 2002, we completed our acquisition of all of the outstanding
shares of Atlas Group Holdings Limited, the parent company of Coutts
Consulting Group Limited. Coutts is a London-based career transition and
organizational consulting services company with operations in Europe, Japan
and Canada.

The aggregate consideration paid for Coutts was approximately $106.3 million,
including acquisition costs, consisting of approximately $53.6 million in
cash, approximately $5.4 million in notes and approximately $44.6 million in
cash to repay Atlas' debt. The notes are payable in seven years and bear
interest at the rate of 4% per annum. Provisions in the notes allow the
noteholders to redeem the notes within six months of issuance.

In connection with the Coutts acquisition, we entered into a credit agreement
with a syndicate of lenders, which provides for $180.0 million of financing,
consisting of a $90.0 million revolving loan facility and a $90.0 million term
loan facility. We drew $130.0 million from these facilities to finance the
Coutts acquisition and to repay and terminate our existing credit facility.
The lenders under our credit facility include affiliates of the underwriters.

The Coutts acquisition solidifies our position as a leading provider of career
transition and organizational consulting services with the addition of
significant operations in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium and Japan. In
addition, Coutts has operations in Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Ireland,
four countries in which we did not have operations prior to the acquisition,
and provides additional volume to our existing businesses in Canada, the
Netherlands and Spain.

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
Kingdom, Coutts' revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 was
approximately $92.0 million. Approximately 46% of its revenue was derived in
the United Kingdom, approximately 21% in France and approximately 18% in
Japan.

Corporate Information

We were incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1980 and are headquartered at 1818
Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, telephone (215) 988-1588. We
maintain a website at www.right.com. Information on our website does not

(1)  We adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 regarding generally accepted
     accounting for revenue recognition effective January 1, 2000, which
     resulted in increased deferred revenue of approximately $19.0 million and
     a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, net of taxes, of
     approximately $11.4 million in 2000.

(2)  Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill
     and Other Intangible Assets," we discontinued the amortization of our
     goodwill as of January 1, 2002 and completed our transitional impairment
     testing of our goodwill and found no indication of impairment. Such
     impairment testing of goodwill may result in future, periodic write-downs
     of our goodwill. Our net income was $4.5 million and our diluted earnings
     per share was $0.32 for the three months ended March 31, 2001, after
     adjustment to exclude goodwill amortization.

(3)  We define EBITDA as income from operations plus depreciation and
     amortization expenses. We present EBITDA because it is a financial
     indicator used by investors and analysts to analyze and compare companies
     on the basis of operating performance and because we believe that EBITDA
     is an additional, meaningful measure of performance and liquidity. You
     should not consider this information as an alternative to any measure of
     performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles.
     Our calculation of EBITDA may be different from the calculation used by
     other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

Risk factors

Investing in our common stock involves various risks, including those
described below. You should carefully consider these risk factors, together
with all other matters contained or incorporated by reference into this
prospectus, before investing in our securities. If any of the risks described
below or in documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus actually
occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be
materially and adversely affected, the trading price of our common stock could
decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS

Our operations  and financial results  may suffer  if economic conditions  on a
local, regional, national or international basis improve or change.
The demand for our services, primarily our career transition services, is
impacted by local, regional, national and international economic conditions.
Generally, stronger economic conditions result in less corporate downsizing
and, in turn, less demand for our career transition services. While the recent
economic downturn in North America has prompted increased corporate
downsizing, enabling us to expand our operations, a decrease in corporate
downsizing activity would reduce demand for our career transition services.
Additionally, a stronger economy could lead to easier and more rapid job
change and reentry, which could reduce demand for career transition services
and compress the length of time that our career transition services are
required, negatively impacting the prices we can charge our clients for these
services.

Alternatively, our operations could be adversely affected by weaker economic
conditions, which could lead to reluctance on the part of corporations to
incur the expenditures associated with using our services, particularly our
organizational consulting services.

We are dependent upon acquisitions and  our growth would be limited if these do
not proceed as anticipated.
In the past, we have grown our operations both internally and through
acquisitions. We have historically acquired companies within the career
transition services industry to increase our geographic scope and will
continue to consider opportunistic acquisitions of career transition service
providers. It is more likely in the future, however, that we will look to
acquire organizational consulting service providers, allowing us to expand the
geographic scope of our organizational consulting services and to further
diversify the type of services we provide. As we look to acquire
organizational consulting service firms, increased competition for acquisition
candidates may develop, which may result in fewer acquisition opportunities
available to us as well as higher acquisition prices for those companies we do
acquire.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to identify,
acquire or profitably manage additional businesses or successfully integrate
acquired businesses, if any, without substantial cost, delays or other
operational or financial problems. Any acquisition involves a number of risks
that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations, including:

o diversion of management's attention;

o failure to retain key personnel of the companies we acquire;

o incurrence of additional debt or issuance of additional equity;

o unanticipated events or liabilities; and

o write-offs of acquired assets and impairment of intangible assets.

We cannot assure you that our recent or future acquisitions will achieve
anticipated revenues and earnings or that any anticipated synergies will be
realized.

                                                                              5


Risk factors
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We may  fail to  realize the  anticipated benefits  of the  Coutts acquisition,
which would reduce our potential earnings.
The success of the Coutts acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to
realize anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from combining our
business with the business of Coutts. To realize these anticipated benefits,
our management team must develop strategies and execute a business plan that
will effectively combine the Coutts business with our business in Europe,
Canada and Japan. If our management team is unable to develop strategies and
execute a business plan that successfully integrates these operations, the
anticipated benefits of the acquisition may not be realized. In particular,
the anticipated growth in revenue, earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and cash flow may not be realized,
which could have an adverse impact on us and the market price of our common
stock.

Because we  operate in foreign countries,  we face additional risks  related to
foreign political, legal and economic conditions.
Our international business operations are subject to a number of risks,
including, but not limited to:

o fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies;

o difficulties in building, integrating and managing foreign operations;

o longer sales cycles;

o different regulatory environments; and

o unexpected legal, economic or political changes in foreign markets.

Our operations could be adversely affected by any of these risks.

Competition from  competitors who  have greater  financial and  other resources
could harm our business.
We compete against other providers of career transition and organizational
consulting services. While we believe we are the world's largest provider of
career transition services, our primary national and international competitors
in this area are divisions of companies that, as a whole, are much larger than
us and have access to financial and other resources which are substantially
greater than those available to us. With respect to our organizational
consulting services, our competition is primarily regional and highly
fragmented, as we compete against local career and other organizational
consulting firms that are well established and respected in their particular
regions. In the future, we may also face competition from expansion by other
companies into the career transition and organizational consulting businesses.
Our business and revenues may be adversely affected as a result of increased
competitive or pricing pressures.

Our financial results are affected by the timing of large projects.
Our financial results are impacted by large projects that commence or involve
a significant amount of activity during a quarter. We cannot predict the
timing or nature of these projects in advance. Our deferred revenues are
affected by the level of current billings for these projects and their average
length, and our revenues and income could be adversely affected by issues
relating to these projects. Accordingly, our quarterly financial results may
fluctuate and may be more or less than investors' expectations.

We are dependent on a number of  key personnel and our business could be harmed
if they left us.
As a service business, we depend upon the continued services of our senior
executives, including our Chief Executive Officer, Richard J. Pinola, and our
President and Chief Operating Officer, John J. Gavin, as well as our sales and
consulting personnel. Our success is dependent in large part on the continued
services of such employees. The loss of personnel, or the inability to attract
or retain new qualified personnel, could harm our business and limit our
ability to expand our operations. If we were to lose any of our key personnel,
we cannot assure you that we would be able to prevent the unauthorized
disclosure or use of our technical knowledge, practices or procedures by such
personnel. In addition, if one or more of our key employees resigns to join a
competitor or to form a competing business, the loss of such personnel could
cause us to lose existing or potential clients to such competitor.

Risk factors
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our  need to  comply  with  government regulations  may  limit  our growth  and
increase our expenses in the future.
Although career transition and organizational consulting services are not
currently subject to state and federal regulation, such regulation has been
considered by legislatures of several states. If such regulations are adopted
in the future, we may be prevented from expanding our career transition and
organizational services and may be required to devote more resources to
compliance programs. Such regulations could also expose us to greater
liabilities, which could harm our financial condition and results of
operations.

We are dependent in part upon  the receipt of royalties from our Affiliates and
could be harmed if our relationship with them changed.

Our revenue depends, in part, upon royalties paid to us by our franchisees,
which we call Affiliates, equaling 10% of an Affiliate's total gross revenue.
Approximately $8.1 million or 2.6% of our revenues in 2001 and $4.1 million or
2.2% of our revenues in 2000 resulted from royalty payments by our Affiliates.
While we have no current plans to reduce our royalty rates, there can be no
assurance that royalties will continue at such levels. We believe that our
relationships with our Affiliates are good, but there can be no assurance that
these relationships will remain so. Future deterioration in our relationships
with our Affiliates or among our Affiliates themselves, or our inability to
collect royalties and fees payable to us by Affiliates, could adversely affect
our business and results of operations.

If we  fail to meet our  clients' expectations, we could  damage our reputation
and have difficulty attracting new business.
Our ability to secure new business and attract and retain qualified employees
depends heavily on our overall reputation and the quality of the services we
provide. As a result, if we fail or are unable to meet a client's
expectations, we could damage our reputation. Such a failure, along with any
other factor that damages our reputation, could adversely affect our ability
to attract new business from that client or from other clients. In addition, a
negative change in our reputation could affect our ability to attract
qualified employees, further impacting our ability to secure new business from
current or new clients.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK

Our  securities  may  experience  price fluctuations,  which  could  result  in
substantial losses for investors purchasing securities in this offering.
The market price of our common stock has been and continues to be volatile.
These price fluctuations may be rapid and severe and may leave investors
little time to react. Factors that affect the market price of our common stock
include:

o  quarterly variations in operating results;

o  announcements of technological innovations or new products or services by us
   or our competitors;

o  general conditions in the career transition and organizational consulting
   services industries or the industries in which our clients compete;

o  changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts or us; and

o  general economic and political conditions, such as recessions and acts of war
   or terrorism.

There may be  risks and your recovery may  be limited as a result  of our prior
use of Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent public accounting firm.
On March 14, 2002, Arthur Andersen LLP, our independent public accounting firm
for the years ended December 31, 1992 through 2001, was indicted on federal
obstruction of justice charges arising from the U.S. government's
investigation of Enron. On April 8, 2002, we dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP as
our independent public accountants and hired Ernst & Young LLP as our
independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2002. As a public
company, we are required to file with the SEC periodic financial statements
audited or reviewed by an independent accountant, including those incorporated
herein by reference. Because our former audit partner has left Arthur Andersen
LLP, we have not been able to obtain the written consent of Arthur Andersen
LLP as required by Section 7 of the Securities Act after reasonable efforts.
Accordingly, investors will not be able to sue Arthur Andersen LLP pursuant to
Section 11(a)(4) of the Securities Act and therefore may have their recovery
limited as a result of the lack of consent.



                                                                              7



Risk factors
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Since our initial public offering in 1986, we have not declared or paid cash
dividends on our common stock and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the
foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any,
for use in the operation of our business and to fund future growth. In
addition, the terms of our credit facility prohibit us from paying cash
dividends.

Our articles  of incorporation could  delay or discourage a  take-over attempt,
which may  reduce the  chance of  a change in  control transaction  involving a
premium to our shareholders.
Our articles of incorporation contain provisions that may delay or discourage
a take-over attempt that a shareholder may consider in his or her best
interest, including take-over attempts that might result in a premium being
paid on shares of our common stock. Specifically, our articles of
incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred
stock at the discretion of our board of directors. Our board of directors may
fix, from time to time, the designation, limitations and preferences of any
such series of preferred stock, without any further action required by
shareholders. The right of our board of directors to issue preferred stock at
its discretion may make us less attractive to an entity or group considering
acquiring control of us or may make an acquisition materially more difficult,
resulting in a lower acquisition price per share.

We have  entered into  employment agreements with  our executive  officers that
contain provisions that could delay or discourage a take-over attempt.
All of our executive officers have change in control provisions in their
employment agreements which provide that if their employment is terminated
within 18 months of a sale of substantially all of our assets or a controlling
interest in our common stock, or the consummation of a merger or consolidation
which results in the acquisition of a controlling interest in us, they will
receive a severance payment equal to two years compensation. In addition, in
the event of a change in control, our Chief Executive Officer, Richard J.
Pinola, and our President and Chief Operating Officer, John J. Gavin, would
each be entitled to continue their employment with us for the greater of the
current term of their employment agreement or two years or to terminate their
employment and receive severance payments equal to two years compensation. The
rights of our executive officers to receive severance payments in the event of
a change in control may make us less attractive to an entity or group
interested in acquiring control of us or may make an acquisition materially
more difficult, affecting the ability of our shareholders to realize a premium
over the then-prevailing price of their shares of common stock.

Forward-looking statements

This prospectus and the information incorporated by reference in this
prospectus contain 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, that involve a number of risks
and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by, among
other things, the use of forward-looking terms such as "believes," "expects,"
"may," "will," "should," "seeks," "anticipates," "intends" or the negative of
any of these terms, or comparable terminology. Similarly, statements that
describe our future plans, strategies, intentions, expectations, objectives,
goals or prospects are also forward-looking statements. The expectations
reflected in forward-looking statements may prove to be incorrect.

A number of factors could cause our actual results, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance
or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
These factors include, but are not limited to:

o  improvement of local, regional, national or international economic
   conditions;

o  competition from other providers and from new delivery technologies;

o  the impact of losing one or more key executives or failing to attract and
   retain additional key personnel;

o  the inability to successfully integrate the Coutts business;

o  the inability to identify, acquire or successfully integrate other
   acquisition candidates; and

o  other factors referenced in this prospectus, including those set forth under
   the caption "Risk factors."

Forward-looking statements necessarily depend upon assumptions, estimates and
dates that may be incorrect or imprecise and involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors. In addition, past financial and/or operating
performance is not necessarily a reliable indicator of future performance and
you should not use our historical performance to anticipate results or future
period trends. Accordingly, any forward-looking statements included in this
prospectus do not purport to be predictions of future events or circumstances
and may not be realized. Given these risks and uncertainties, we caution
investors not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We
disclaim any obligation to update any of these factors or to publicly announce
any revisions to the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus
or incorporated by reference to reflect future events or developments.



                                                                              9



Use of proceeds

We expect to receive approximately $65.2 million from our sale of 3,000,000
shares of common stock at an assumed offering price of $23.40 per share, or
approximately $77.0 million if the underwriters' over-allotment option is
exercised in full, after deducting the estimated expenses and estimated
underwriting discounts payable by us. We also expect to receive $5.4 million, or
$5.7 million if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full, in
proceeds from the exercise of stock options by the selling shareholders to
acquire the shares being sold by them in this offering. We intend to use the net
proceeds from this offering to repay a portion of the indebtedness under our
credit facility that we used to fund the Coutts acquisition. As a result, a
portion of the net proceeds from this offering will be paid to affiliates of the
underwriters who are lenders under our credit facility. Our indebtedness under
our credit facility bears interest at a variable rate and matures on March 22,
2007. As of May 31, 2002, that indebtedness bore interest at a rate of
approximately 4.2% per annum. As a result of the repayment of approximately
$70.6 million in indebtedness under our credit facility, the interest rate will
be reduced by 0.75% per annum. Additionally, upon the repayment of such
indebtedness, the restrictions on our ability to make future acquisitions will
not be applicable to us for so long as our leverage ratio does not exceed 1.25
to 1.0 on a pro forma basis.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling
shareholders in this offering, except for the aggregate exercise price of
stock options exercised by the selling shareholders to acquire the shares
being sold by them in this offering.


Dividend policy

Since becoming a public company in 1986, we have not paid any cash dividends
on our common stock and do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common
stock in the foreseeable future. The terms of our credit facility prohibit us
from paying cash dividends. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if
any, to fund the development and growth of our business. Any future
determination as to the declaration and payment of cash dividends will be at
the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on then existing
conditions, including our financial condition, results of operations,
contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and any
other factors our board of directors deems relevant.

(1)  We adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 regarding generally accepted
     accounting for revenue recognition effective January 1, 2000, which
     resulted in increased deferred revenue of approximately $19.0 million and
     a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, net of taxes, of
     approximately $11.4 million in 2000.

(2)  Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill
     and Other Intangible Assets," we discontinued the amortization of our
     goodwill as of January 1, 2002 and completed our transitional impairment
     testing of our goodwill and found no indication of impairment. Such
     impairment testing of goodwill may result in future, periodic write-downs
     of our goodwill. Our net income was $4.5 million and our diluted earnings
     per share was $0.32 for the three months ended March 31, 2001, after
     adjustment to exclude goodwill amortization.

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our
pro forma and historical consolidated financial statements and the related
notes incorporated by reference in this prospectus. This discussion contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-
looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth
under "Risk factors," "Forward-looking statements" and elsewhere in this
prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein.

OVERVIEW

We are a leading provider of career transition and organizational consulting
services. We offer a full spectrum of services to meet the global workforce
management needs of client organizations. We provide career transition and
organizational consulting services to companies within all industries,
including a majority of the companies that comprise the Fortune 500. Our
worldwide operations include more than 250 owned offices and 67 affiliate
offices, providing us with the ability to service clients from locations in
more than 35 countries. For the year ended December 31, 2001, approximately
67% of our revenues were generated in the United States and approximately 33%
were generated from our international operations. For the three months ended
March 31, 2002, on a pro forma basis including Coutts, approximately 51% of
our revenues were generated in the United States and approximately 49% were
generated from our international operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2001, we generated approximately 83% of our
revenues from our career transition services and 17% of our revenues from our
organizational consulting services. For the three months ended March 31, 2002,
on a pro forma basis including Coutts, we generated approximately 86% of our
revenues from our career transition services and 14% of our revenues from our
organizational consulting services. Our career transition services are
generally provided on a per employee basis for individual services and on a
per employee, per month or fixed fee basis for group services, and our
organizational consulting services are generally billed on a per diem basis or
with a fixed fee for a specific deliverable.

Since January 1, 1997, we have completed 31 acquisitions using cash, shares of
our common stock and debt. Each acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase and the operating results of each entity have been consolidated with
our results since the effective date of the respective acquisition. The
purchase price of each acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired
based on their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition and is subject
to change. These acquisitions have helped us to expand our operations in the
United States and internationally, broaden our client base and increase our
organizational consulting services.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue for our services under the provisions of Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101). SAB 101 generally provides that revenue for time-
based services must be recognized over the average length of time that services
are provided. In general, we bill our career transition services in advance,
resulting initially in deferred revenue. Under SAB 101, we recognize deferred
revenue into income over the average period of time our projects remain open. We
adopted SAB 101 on December 31, 2000 and recorded the cumulative effect of the
change as of January 1, 2000, resulting in a $19.0 million increase in deferred
revenue and a $11.4 million charge, net of taxes, to operations at that time.
Our recognition of revenue under SAB 101 could be deemed to be a "critical
accounting policy" as defined by the SEC to include those accounting policies
that require application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex
judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of
matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.

In general, we recognize career transition revenue on a straight-line basis
over the average length of time it takes candidates we are serving to find
jobs, based on comprehensive statistical data we maintain. In some

results of operations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

instances, where statistical data is not available, we recognize career
transition revenue on a straight-line basis over the actual life of the
agreement with the employer. Historically, the average length of our projects
has not changed significantly from quarter to quarter. We generally have more
deferred revenue for individual than group career transition services.

The significant factors impacting our deferred revenues are the level of
current billings and the average length of our programs. Over time, an
increasing volume of new billings results in higher amounts of deferred
revenue, while decreasing levels of new billings results in lower amounts of
deferred revenue. Similarly, an increase in the length of time our programs
remain open increases the amount of deferred revenue, while a decrease in the
length of time our programs remain open decreases the amount of deferred
revenue.

With respect to our organizational consulting services, we generally bill and
recognize consulting contract revenue upon the performance of our obligations
under our consulting service contracts. As a result, our organizational
consulting services do not typically involve deferred revenues.

Valuation of intangible assets and goodwill
SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," requires the use of the purchase method
of accounting for all business combinations and broadens the criteria for
recording intangible assets separate from goodwill. SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets," requires that goodwill and other intangibles
determined to have an indefinite life are no longer to be amortized but are to
be tested for impairment at least annually. We have applied SFAS No. 141 in
our preliminary allocation of the purchase price for Coutts. Accordingly, a
value of $24.0 million was estimated and allocated to amortizable intangible
assets as client lists. The valuation of these client lists required us to use
our judgment. Non-amortizable goodwill of $94.6 million related to the
acquisition of Coutts was also recorded. The purchase price allocation for
this acquisition is tentative and is based upon information available at this
time, and is subject to change. The annual impairment testing required by SFAS
No. 142 will require us to use our judgment and estimates about market
conditions and operational performance of acquired businesses.

(1)  We adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 regarding generally accepted
     accounting for revenue recognition effective January 1, 2000, which
     resulted in increased deferred revenue of approximately $19.0 million and

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our references to office revenue in the table above and the discussion below
refer to revenue generated by all of our operations, excluding revenue
generated from royalties paid by our Affiliates.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 2001

For the three months ended March 31, 2002, revenue generated by our offices
increased by 60%, or $35.6 million, from the corresponding quarter in 2001.
This increase is due to $3.0 million in incremental revenues from acquisitions
consummated subsequent to the first quarter 2001, and to a same office revenue
increase of 55%, or $32.6 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2002, revenue generated by our offices
within the career transition line of business increased by 76%, or $35.5
million. This career transition revenue increase is due to $2.0 in incremental
revenues from acquisitions and a same office revenue increase of 72%, or $33.4
million. The same office career transition revenue increase reflects a
significantly higher volume of business in all geographic locations, as
corporations continue to downsize due to changes in business conditions partly
due to a weak global economy.

For the three months ended March 31, 2002, revenue generated by our offices
within the organizational consulting line of business was essentially flat as
compared to the same period in the prior year. Organizational consulting
revenue for the first quarter 2002 included $1.0 million in incremental
revenues from acquisitions and a same office revenue decrease of 7%, or $0.9
million. The same office organizational consulting revenue decrease also
reflects weak economic conditions, primarily in the United States and Europe.

For the three months ended March 31, 2002, Affiliate royalties increased 34%,
or $0.5 million, from the corresponding period in 2001. The increase in
Affiliate royalties is due to the aforementioned impact of higher sales volume
in career transition services due to weak economic conditions across North
America.

For the three months ended March 31, 2002, our total office expenses, which
include consultants' compensation, office sales and consulting support, office
depreciation and office administration, increased 42%, or $20.4 million, from
the corresponding period in 2001. This increase is due in part to incremental
costs from acquisitions consummated subsequent to the first quarter 2001,
totaling $3.5 million. The increase in our office expense is also due to
increases in employee incentive provisions, salaries for sales personnel and
delivery costs, including adjunct staffing, foreign correspondents and career
center staffing.

Our office operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was
$26.9 million with an office margin of 28%, compared to operating income of
$11.7 million and a margin of 20% for the same period in the prior year. This
increase in our office operating income is due to the aforementioned increase
in career transition revenues in 2002 as compared to 2001, leveraged across
our fixed and managed variable cost structure. This increase in operating
income is offset somewhat by a loss of $0.5 million from acquisitions
consummated subsequent to the first quarter 2001, which were primarily
acquisitions of organizational consulting firms.

For the three months ended March 31, 2002, general sales and administration
and depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 87%, or $5.4 million,
from the first quarter 2001. These expenses as a percentage of total revenue
were 12% for the first quarter 2002 and 10% for the first quarter 2001. The
increase in 2002 is due primarily to an increase in incentive costs of $3.1
million, an increase in the provision for bad debts of $1.0 million, an
increase in consulting services of $0.6 million and an increase in payroll
costs of $0.6 million, offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in amortization
expense due to a change in accounting rules.

Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to
March 31, 2001 decreased $0.2 million primarily due to a decrease in interest
rates in the current year.

The minority interest in net income of subsidiaries for the three months ended
March 31, 2002 was $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 for the minority interests related to Right WayStation in
Japan, Saad Fellipelli and Coaching in Brazil and Glenoit SL in Spain.

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our effective tax rate was 43% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and
44% for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000

For the year ended December 31, 2001, revenue generated by our offices
increased by 71%, or $127.2 million, over 2000. This increase is primarily
attributable to an increase in same office revenue of 48% and $40.6 million in
incremental revenues from acquisitions.

Our career transition services line of business reported total revenues of
$254.8 million, which represents an 80% increase from 2000. This increase is
due to an increase in same office revenue of 66%, or $93.3 million, and $19.8
million in incremental revenues from acquisitions. The same office revenue
increase reflects a significantly higher volume of business in all geographic
locations, as corporations continued to downsize in a weakening global
economy.

Our consulting line of business reported revenues of $52.5 million, which
represents a 37% increase from 2000. This increase is due to $20.9 million in
incremental revenues from acquisitions offset by a same office revenue
decrease of 18%, or $6.8 million. The same office consulting revenue decrease
reflects the weakening economy, primarily in the United States and Europe.

For the year ended December 31, 2001, Affiliate royalties increased 98%, or
$4.0 million, from 2000. The increase in Affiliate royalties is attributable
to increased business resulting from increased corporate downsizing promoted
by weakening economic conditions across North America.

For the year ended December 31, 2001, our total office expenses increased 63%,
or $91.2 million, from 2000. This increase is due in part to incremental costs
from acquisitions consummated subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2000,
totaling $40.6 million. These increased office expenses are also due to
increases in salaries for sales personnel and increases in employee incentive
provisions and delivery costs, including counseling materials, part-time
staff, foreign correspondents, career center staff and other career center
costs.

Pursuant to our revenue recognition policy, our deferred revenue as of
December 31, 2001 increased 115%, or $32.5 million, from December 31, 2000,
reflecting the higher level of career transition billings in 2001.

Our office operating income for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $72.1
million, with a margin of 23%, compared to operating income of $36.1 million,
with a margin of 20%, for 2000. This increase in our office operating income
is due to the aforementioned increase in career transition revenues in 2001,
spread across our fixed cost and variable cost structure.

For the year ended December 31, 2001, general sales and administration
expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 81%, or $18.1
million, from 2000. These expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 13%
for 2001 and 12% for 2000. The increase in 2001 is due primarily to an
increase in incentive costs of $9.8 million and amortization expense of $1.8
million, and an increase in the bad debt provision of $0.8 million and
consulting services of $0.8 million.

Net interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to 2000
was flat. The amount of outstanding debt during 2001 exceeded the outstanding
debt during 2000, due to borrowings made in the fourth quarter of 2000 and
first quarter of 2001 for acquisition activities and for funding incentives
and earnout payments. However, the decrease in interest rates in 2001 resulted
in a comparable level of interest expense compared to 2000.

The minority interest in net income of subsidiaries for the year ended
December 31, 2001 was $0.4 million for the minority interests related to Right
WayStation, Saad Fellipelli, Coaching and Glenoit S.L. The equity in earnings
of our unconsolidated joint venture for the year ended December 31, 2000
resulted from our 20% equity interest in Right WayStation at that time.

Our effective tax rate was 48% for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 46%
for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in the effective tax rate
is due to an increase in the impact of non-


                                                                             17

deductible amortization expense related to acquisitions and incentive
compensation amounts that exceeded the maximum deductibility level for income
tax purposes.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999

For the year ended December 31, 2000, revenue generated by our offices
increased by 2%, or $3.2 million, over 1999. This increase was primarily
attributable to $13.2 million in incremental revenues from acquisitions offset
by a decrease in same office revenue of 6%.

Our career transition services line of business reported total revenues of
$141.8 million, which represents a 6% decrease from 1999. The decrease was due
to a decrease in same office revenue of 8% offset by $4.1 million in
incremental revenues from acquisitions. The same office revenue decrease
within the career transition service line of business was impacted by low
unemployment rates primarily experienced in the western and northeastern
United States and in continental Europe.

Our consulting line of business reported total revenues of $38.4 million,
which represents a 44% increase over 1999. The increase was due to $9.1
million in incremental revenues from acquisitions and an increase in same
office revenue of 10%. The same office revenue increase within the consulting
line of business was primarily experienced throughout North America due to
positive economic conditions.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, Affiliate royalties decreased 6% due to
the impact of low unemployment rates in North America.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, total office expenses decreased 1%, or
$1.3 million, from 1999. This decrease primarily related to a decrease in
incentive payments, salaries for delivery personnel, career center staffing,
and other general office costs, offset by $10.6 million in incremental costs
from acquisitions. Our same office expenses for 2000 decreased 5% in
comparison to 1999, illustrating continued cost savings and efficiencies
during the year. We experienced an increase in the charges for depreciation
and for certain consulting services in 2000 over 1999.

Aggregate office margins were 20% for 2000 and 18% for 1999. This increase was
attributable primarily to the previously mentioned increase in consulting
revenues and decrease in incentive compensation expense.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, general sales and administration
expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 10%, or $2.1
million, over 1999. This increase was attributable to increased charges for
depreciation and amortization, travel expenses, professional fees and pension
expenses related to the new supplemental executive retirement plan. General
sales and administration expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses
as a percentage of total revenues were 12% for 2000 and 11% for 1999.

Our effective tax rate was 46% for the year ended December 31, 2000 and 43%
for the year ended December 31, 1999. A higher effective tax rate in 2000 was
primarily a result of an increase in non-deductible goodwill from acquisitions
completed in 2000 and 1999.

The equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint venture represented our 20%
equity interest for Way Station, Inc., which totaled $62,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2000 and $290,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The
minority interest in net income of subsidiaries for the year ended December
31, 1999 was $343,000 for the minority interest related to Davidson &
Associates.

The cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of taxes, was
$11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This represents the
cumulative effect of the change in accounting for revenue recognition related
to the adoption of SAB No. 101.

SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The demand for our career transition services is impacted by economic
conditions on a local, regional, national and international basis. A stronger
economy may result in less downsizing and less demand for our career
transition services. Our operating results are also subject to seasonality.
While seasonality may vary by geographic regions, traditionally, our
consolidated operating results are lower in the third quarter

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(July, August and September) due to vacation time in North America and Europe
and higher in the fourth quarter. During 2001, however, corporations continued
to downsize their operations during the third quarter resulting in significant
career transaction activity during all four quarters of 2001. Our quarterly
results are also impacted by large projects during a quarter. The timing of
these projects could result in our revenues being higher or a client
representing a higher than usual percentage of our revenues for a particular
quarter.

The following table, which is unaudited, sets forth certain unaudited
consolidated quarterly income statement data for each of the eight fiscal
quarters ended March 31, 2002. In our opinion, this information has been
prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements that are
incorporated by reference in this prospectus and includes all necessary
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that we consider
necessary to present fairly this information in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. This information should be read together with
our consolidated condensed financial statements and the notes thereto
incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Our operating results for any
quarter are not necessarily indicative for results for any future period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We had cash and cash equivalents of $25.1 million as of March 31, 2002 and
$48.7 million as of December 31, 2001. The decrease in cash was primarily a
result of paying incentive bonuses to employees in the first quarter 2002 that
related to 2001 performance and cash payments in connection with the Coutts
acquisition. As of March 31, 2002, we had a working capital deficit of $32.8
million due principally to $81.3 million of deferred revenue and $24.0 million
of current debt. Deferred revenue is eventually recognized into income over
time, with no cash impact. At December 31, 2001, we had positive working
capital of $11.0 million.

Net cash utilized in operating activities amounted to $5.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2002, as opposed to $74.3 million of net cash
generated for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. The cash used in
operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2002 reflects the
aforementioned payment of 2001 incentive bonuses to employees in the first
quarter 2002.

Net cash utilized in investing activities amounted to $110.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2002 and $29.9 million for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2001. This investment activity in 2002 is the result of our
acquisition of Coutts. Our investment activity in 2001 related to our final
payment with respect to our acquisition of a 31% equity interest in Right
WayStation Inc., as well as earnouts related to


                                                                             19

acquisitions made in prior years. Additionally, we continue to purchase
equipment and technology to meet the needs of our expanding operations and to
enhance our operating efficiency.

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $92.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2002 and net cash utilized in financing
activities amounted to $7.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31,
2001. The financing activity for 2002 related to our borrowings in connection
with our acquisition of Coutts. Our financing activity for 2001 was primarily
related to payments made to complete the acquisition of Right WayStation, Inc.
and payments of incentives and earnouts.

In addition to cash flow provided by operations, we have borrowing facilities to
provide for increases in our working capital needs as well as to provide for
future acquisition opportunities. Prior to March 22, 2002, we had an existing
borrowing capacity of up to $60.0 million under a credit facility with our two
primary lenders. On March 22, 2002, in connection with the Coutts acquisition,
we terminated this credit facility and certain related interest rate and
currency swap agreements and entered into a new credit facility. Under our new
credit facility, we have borrowing capacity of up to $180.0 million, consisting
of a $90.0 million revolving loan facility and a $90.0 million term loan
facility. We drew $130.0 million from our new credit facility to finance the
Coutts acquisition and to repay and terminate our prior credit facility. As of
April 30, 2002, approximately $31.0 million remained available to us under the
revolving loan portion of our new credit facility. The revolving loan facility
has a five-year term over which we may borrow, repay and reborrow funds. The
term loan facility provides for repayment over its five-year term, with
provisions for mandatory and voluntary repayments upon the occurrence of certain
events. Interest on both loans is variable and bore interest at a rate of
approximately 4.2% per annum as of May 31, 2002. We are required to meet
certain financial and non-financial covenants under the credit agreement,
including a restriction on future acquisitions. That restriction will no longer
be applicable to us following our application of the net proceeds from this
offering to repay a portion of the existing debt under these credit facilities
for so long as our leverage ratio remains less than 1.25 to 1.0 on a pro forma
basis.

In connection with our recent acquisition of Coutts we will incur certain
costs to integrate Coutts' offices and personnel into our network. At this
time we have not determined the timing, nature or amount of these costs. We
anticipate concluding our integration review during the second quarter of
2002.

We anticipate that our cash and working capital will be sufficient to service
our existing debt, outstanding commitments and to maintain our operations at
current levels for the foreseeable future. We have outstanding commitments for
contingent earn-out payments that will be payable, if earned, over the next
three years. We estimate the amount of contingent earn-out payments will range
between $9.0 million and $12.0 million in total. We will continue to consider
acquisitions and other expansion opportunities as they arise, subject to
access to capital on acceptable terms and provided that the economics,
strategic implications and other circumstances justify such expansion.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting and broadens the criteria for recording
intangible assets separate from goodwill. Goodwill and intangibles already
recorded will be evaluated by this criteria and may result in certain
intangibles being subsumed into goodwill, or alternatively, amounts initially
recorded as goodwill being separately identified and recognized apart from
goodwill. SFAS No. 142 also establishes a new method of testing goodwill for
impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs or
circumstances change that could reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below
its carrying value. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 resulted in our discontinuation
of amortization of our goodwill, which is expected to add between $0.30 and
$0.33 per share to earnings in 2002. The amount of recorded amortization expense
related to goodwill was approximately $5.7 million for 2001, $4.5 million for
2000 and $3.0 million for 1999. During the third quarter of 2002, we will again
perform impairment testing of our goodwill, including new acquisitions.
Impairment testing of goodwill may result in future, periodic write-downs of our
goodwill.

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In August 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 provides guidance on financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.
SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
We do not believe that adoption of this statement will materially impact our
financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We have from time to time entered into cross currency and interest rate swap
agreements in order to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on
debt and foreign currency fluctuations. At March 31, 2002, there were no open
swap agreements, although we expect to enter into new swap agreements or other
hedging instruments in the future to limit our exposure to interest rate or
foreign currency fluctuation risk, as we consider prudent. All of our long-
term debt bears floating interest rates.

Our earnings and cash flow are subject to fluctuations due to changes in
foreign currency exchange rates. We do not anticipate any material currency
risk to our business or financial condition resulting from other currency
fluctuations, as it is unlikely that all other relevant foreign currencies
would uniformly strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. As of March
31, 2002, we had no currency swap or hedge instruments.



                                                                             21

COMPANY OVERVIEW

We are a leading global provider of career transition services and
organizational consulting services. We were founded in 1980 as a local
executive career transition services firm and since then we have grown to
offer a full spectrum of services to meet the global workforce management
needs of our clients and their employees. Based on revenues, we believe that
we are the largest provider of career transition services in each of North
America, Europe and Asia (excluding Japan), and the second-largest provider in
Japan. We provide our services to clients from over 300 offices in over 35
countries. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, on a pro forma basis
including Coutts, we generated approximately 51% of our revenues from the
United States, 28% from Europe, 10% from Japan, 6% from Canada, 4% from the
Asia-Pacific region (excluding Japan) and 1% from Brazil.

Our operations are divided into two lines of business: career transition and
organizational consulting services. The career transition segment provides
services on both an individual and group basis to employees who have been
displaced from their employment. The organizational consulting segment
provides services to companies that require assistance in organizational
performance, leadership development and talent management.

Our customers consist primarily of mid-size and large industrial and service
companies across a broad range of industries. We are retained by corporate
clients to provide our services to individuals and our fees are paid
exclusively by employers on behalf of their employees. We do not offer our
services directly to individuals for purchase.

We believe that our global presence, operating history, strong reputation and
brand recognition, long- standing client relationships and innovative
technology-based solutions provide us with significant competitive advantages.
We focus on delivering value-added services that help our clients effectively
manage the human side of change, whether offering assistance to individuals or
groups of employees displaced from employment, or providing solutions that
assist clients to manage the evolving performance, leadership and talent
management needs of their workforces.

THE MARKET FOR CAREER TRANSITION AND ORGANIZATIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES

Career transition services
Career transition services offer assistance to individuals or groups of
employees displaced from employment. Services range from advising employers on
severance packages to assisting displaced employees with resume writing,
networking and interviewing. Services to displaced employees are provided in
individual or group programs. Managerial-level employees generally receive
longer-term, individual services, while lower-level employees receive shorter-
term, group-based services. Programs frequently begin with the displaced
employee receiving counseling immediately after the layoff notification,
followed by a combination of classroom training, support services and web-
based tools to guide them along the remainder of their career transition
process.

International Data Corporation estimates that the market for career transition
services in North America was approximately $1.8 billion in 2000 and will
reach $2.5 billion by 2005, which represents a compound annual growth rate of
6.6%. These services have become increasingly common as part of comprehensive
employee benefits packages in North America, where displaced employees feel
entitled to some career transition support when employers downsize or
restructure their workforces. These services are available to employees at all
levels of organizations and many senior executives now request career
transition services in their employment contracts.

While somewhat less common outside the United States, career transition
services are prevalent in the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada and are
becoming more common in continental Europe and Japan. We estimate that the
international career transition services markets are smaller than the North
American market but will grow at a faster rate than in North America as these
markets continue to mature.

We believe that there are several primary drivers of demand for career
transition services:


22


o  Corporate earnings pressure. Economic uncertainties in the United States and
   other industrialized countries and ongoing pressure to increase corporate
   earnings frequently lead to layoffs as organizations attempt to quickly
   reduce costs.

o  Significant level of mergers and acquisitions. Merger and acquisition
   activity leads to restructured workforces and the elimination of redundant
   job functions. In recent years, consolidation activity has increased
   significantly as a result of low costs of capital and globalization trends.

o  Technological innovation. Improvements in technology and the migration from
   human-intensive employee functions to automated systems has continued to make
   some workers obsolete. As technology continues to improve, the need for
   workers in particular industries and functions will continue to decline.

Companies choose to provide career transition services for several reasons.
First, as the competition for attracting and retaining qualified employees
increases, companies are increasingly attempting to distinguish themselves in
the marketplace as attractive employers. Consequently, more companies are
providing career transition services as part of a comprehensive benefits
package that provide for the well being of employees not only during their
period of employment, but also after their employment ceases. Additionally,
when companies complete layoffs, many believe that providing career transition
services projects a positive corporate image and improves morale among
remaining employees. Finally, companies may provide career transition services
to reduce costs by preparing and assisting separated employees to find new
employment, thereby diminishing the likelihood of employment-related
litigation.

Organizational consulting services
Organizational consulting services provide assistance in addressing companies'
evolving human capital needs, focusing on assisting organizations in
addressing the human side of change. Organizational consultants help companies
to build high performance organizations. Organizational consulting services
are designed to improve employees' commitment, skill sets and confidence
levels, overall teamwork and leadership development to align the workforce
with an organization's overall business strategy and positively impact the
success of the business. Organizational consulting services includes a wide
range of services centered around organizational performance, leadership
development and talent management. These services also address the need for
companies to retain productive human capital and minimize employee turnover,
which can otherwise result in lost productivity, lost business, decreased
customer satisfaction, decreased morale and lost intellectual capital.

We believe that there are several primary drivers of demand for organizational
consulting services:

o  Growing emphasis on human capital. As economies continue to become more
   knowledge-based, businesses are increasingly focused on the effective
   management of human capital in order to attract, retain and develop the most
   talented employees. Consequently, companies seek to maximize the skill sets
   of their human capital within the context of their broader business
   objectives.

o  Changing workforce demographics. Companies in many countries today are faced
   with an aging workforce, a shortage of talented employees and an increasingly
   mobile workforce. These trends, along with employees' increasing desire for
   lifelong learning opportunities, are prompting companies to design and deploy
   effective leadership, talent development and career management programs to
   maximize their return on capital invested in human resources.

o  Significant level of mergers and acquisitions. In recent years, industry
   consolidation has become increasingly complex and cross-border in nature. As
   a result, companies must develop consistent and integrated recruitment,
   deployment and retention programs to address pre-merger planning and post-
   merger human resources integration issues.

o  Globalization of business. As businesses become increasingly multinational,
   companies are seeking to deploy human resources programs on a global basis
   while recognizing unique local requirements and social policies, and to
   establish consistency in worldwide reporting and quality control.

Companies frequently augment their internal human resources professional staff
with external consultants for many reasons. First, the growing importance and
complexity of employee issues is creating an

                                                                             23


Business
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

unprecedented administrative burden on human resources departments.
Additionally, human resources departments have historically been viewed as
cost centers within organizations, and pressures to contain costs decrease the
resources available to managers. Finally, companies increasingly choose to
outsource non-core functions that can be addressed either more effectively or
less costly by outside professionals.

OUR COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS

Global reach and scale
We believe that, based on pro forma revenues, we are the largest provider of
career transition services in North America, Europe and Asia (excluding
Japan), and the second-largest provider in Japan. Our operations are
structured into geographic regions that provide management, leadership and
resources to ensure seamless, consistent and responsive delivery of our
services. Our offices are managed and staffed by consultants fluent not only
in local languages, but also in the nuances of local business customs and
cultures. Our global network of approximately 2,900 employees in over 35
countries allows us to act as a single-source provider of career transition
and organizational consulting services to large multinational clients,
enabling us to meet the needs of our clients effectively at single or multiple
locations and successfully compete for new accounts that draw on our
international footprint and experience.

Our geographic diversification also diminishes the risk associated with demand
fluctuations that result from changes in economic activity around the world.
For example, while robust economic activity in one economy may decrease demand
for career transition services in that country, the economy of another country
may be at a different stage of the economic cycle that creates an offsetting
demand for career transition services. For the three months ended March 31,
2002, on a pro forma basis including Coutts, we derived approximately 51% of
our total revenues from the United States and approximately 49% of our total
revenues from our international operations.

Strong reputation and brand recognition
We believe that we have established a strong reputation and brand name that
distinguishes us from competitors. We also believe that we are widely
recognized as a thought leader on matters relating to career transition and
organizational change. We regularly conduct proprietary research on issues of
career transition and organizational change in a wide range of industries so
that we are able to keep our clients thoroughly informed on topical and timely
issues. Some of our recent proprietary publications and surveys include:
PeopleBrand; Lessons Learned from Mergers & Acquisitions: Best Practices in
Workforce Integration; Career Transition and Redeployment: Best Practices at
Employers of Choice; Retaining Employees During Critical Organizational
Transitions; Valuing the Dual Career Workforce; and several studies examining
severance practices across major industries.

Long-standing relationships with large global clients
We work with many of the world's largest and most successful organizations.
Although the demand for career transition and organizational consulting
services from a particular client can fluctuate significantly from year to
year, we have been successfully providing career transition services for over
20 years and many of our clients represent stable, long-term relationships. We
believe that our commitment to client satisfaction serves to strengthen and
extend our relationships, leading to high customer retention rates and repeat
business. For example, all of our top 10 clients in fiscal year 2001, ranked
by revenues, have been our clients for each of the last three years.

Innovative technology-based solutions
We believe that we are a leader in the development and application of
technology-based solutions that create value for our clients. Our innovative
solutions offer a variety of proprietary online services including
standardized skills assessments, web-based classes, web-based career
counseling and customized portals aggregating online resources. In addition,
our technology-based solutions enhance our ability to deploy our services
cost-effectively by empowering employees and decreasing their reliance on more
costly one-on-one coaching. Our proprietary application, RightTracksm,
significantly enhances our delivery capacity across our global network.

Business
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Variable cost structure
Our scalable technology, flexible workforce and target-driven incentive plan
enable us to operate with a highly variable cost structure. We have used
technology to standardize many of our services, enabling us to deliver them
more effectively and conveniently for our clients and to better manage our
consultant utilization. Furthermore, the employment of part-time consultants -
who receive limited benefits and no incentive compensation - allows us to
staff more quickly and efficiently in the short-term to address changing
client needs. Finally, our target-driven incentive plan ties a significant
portion of employee compensation to meeting growth-oriented performance goals,
including increases in regional revenue, group profitability and company
earnings per share.

Complementary lines of business
Our career transition and organizational consulting services lines of business
are complementary to each other in that they allow us to provide services to a
client's displaced employees as well as its remaining employees. We are
therefore able to guide the entire organization through the process of change
by helping displaced employees find new employment and ensuring that remaining
employees are refocused on their tasks going forward. In addition to
complementing each other, both lines of business can also operate
independently of one another. This allows us to manage certain risks created
by different economic cycles. For example, historically during periods of
economic decline the demand for career transition services has tended to grow
as organizations try to contain costs through workforce reductions. On the
other hand, we believe that the demand for organizational consulting services
tends to increase during times of economic growth as organizations become more
interested in utilizing organizational performance and leadership development
tools to better manage their workforce and compete for, retain and develop
additional talent. Over the last three years, we derived approximately 79% to
85% of our total revenues from career transition services and approximately
15% to 21% of our total revenues from organizational consulting services.

OUR GROWTH STRATEGY

We believe we are well positioned to continue to expand into new markets and
offer new services to provide greater value to our clients. To serve our
clients better and grow our business, we intend to continue pursuing the
following strategic initiatives:

Leverage global presence  to increase share of services  to large multinational
clients
Large, geographically diverse corporations increasingly desire a single source
provider that has both the critical mass to staff large engagements and the
scope to deploy resources throughout the world. We intend to draw upon our
global resources and local execution capabilities to increase our share of
services to multi-national corporations that are seeking a single source
provider of career transition and organizational consulting services. We
believe we are well positioned to serve our clients' growing needs for
integrated career transition and organizational consulting services worldwide.

Capitalize on cross-selling opportunities to existing clients
We intend to capitalize on our long-term client relationships to cross-sell
our full range of services to our client base. Having developed strong client
relationships with critical decision-makers as a result of our career
transition services work, we have a unique advantage and opportunity to cross-
sell our organizational consulting services to capture additional business
opportunities and market share. To facilitate cross-selling opportunities, we
maintain a dedicated group of approximately 250 client service consultants.
This group functions independently of delivery personnel and is responsible
for coordinating sales opportunities in the career transition and
organizational consulting segments as well as coordinating sales opportunities
across differing geographic regions. We believe that by continuing to deliver
high-quality career transition services and by further developing our
relationships with our clients, we are well positioned to capture a
significantly larger share of our clients' expenditures for organizational
consulting services.


                                                                             25




Business
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Identify and pursue strategic acquisitions
The markets for career transition and organizational consulting services are
highly fragmented. We have a history of successfully completing and
integrating strategic acquisitions, including career transition firms in new
geographic locations and organizational consulting firms that add desired
competencies, personnel or geographic coverage. We believe that strategic
acquisitions can significantly decrease the cost, time and commitment of
management resources necessary to attain a meaningful competitive position
within a targeted market. Since January 1, 1997, we have successfully
completed and integrated acquisitions involving 31 firms offering career
transition and/or organizational consulting services. Given the fragmented
nature of the worldwide career transition and organizational consulting
markets, we believe there is a significant opportunity for us to increase our
market share on a global basis through further acquisitions.

Build our brand and culture
We will continue to increase the awareness of our brand name in order to build
our market share, develop new client relationships and attract the best
people. Our leadership position in career transition services is our most
important competitive advantage and presents us with significant opportunities
for growth. We carefully migrate the brands of acquired companies to the Right
Management brand to ensure both client continuity and maximum marketplace
visibility. We intend to hire and retain outstanding professionals, provide
incentives to achieve corporate goals and maintain a culture that fosters
outstanding customer service. We will also continue to emphasize the
professional development and training of our employees.

Develop technology-based delivery capabilities
We will continue to develop and apply new technology-based delivery
capabilities to improve customer service and develop and leverage cost
efficiencies. Our technology investments help to drive our growth and improve
our profitability by providing flexibility in pricing and delivery choices to
corporate clients, facilitating increased access to resources for individuals
participating in our programs and shifting our delivery costs from fixed to
variable.

OUR SERVICES

Career transition services
Our career transition services help our clients plan and implement business
initiatives that entail reductions in their workforces. We are retained
exclusively by employers to provide services to their displaced employees on
an individual or group basis to assist them in finding new employment. We
provided career transition services to approximately 5,100 client companies
during 2001, including a majority of the companies that comprise the Fortune
500. Our career transition services provided approximately 83% of our total
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001.

We develop specific action plans for each client to ensure that career
transition services are delivered to employees in an appropriate tone and
style that promotes constructive reactions from employees and broader business
and social communities.

These programs are designed to prepare our clients for all facets of workforce
reductions, including:

o  configuring programs and services;

o  drafting messages for required internal and external communications;

o  providing or preparing facilities and equipment for delivery of services;

o  planning and coordination for the notification of employees regarding the
   separation event, including preparing, coaching and supporting managers in
   conducting notification meetings and delivering separation messages in an
   effective manner;

o  planning and executing separation logistics, including quickly engaging
   separating employees with our individual and group career transition
   services;

o  addressing issues and reengaging continuing employees with their work and
   careers within the organization; and


26


o tracking the progress and status of former employees in our individual and
  group career transition services programs.

Individual career transition services
Our individual career transition services are focused on assisting individuals
in finding interesting and challenging career opportunities that recognize and
utilize their specific talents and enable them to make constructive steps in
their career continuum rather than simply finding them new employment.
Historically, approximately 75% of our career transition revenue is generated
from individual career transition services.

We work with individuals from all levels and backgrounds of an organization,
from senior executives, managers and professionals to technical specialists
and front-line staff. Our services to separated employees include assistance
in handling the initial difficulties of termination; identifying continuing
career goals and options; planning an alternative career; aiding in developing
skills such as resume writing, effective networking, identifying and
researching potential employers, preparing and rehearsing for interviews;
continuing consulting and motivation throughout the job search; assessing new
employment offers and methods of accepting such offers; and assisting with
financial planning.

Our process is administered by experienced consultants who are knowledgeable
about current employment market conditions and the latest in employment search
trends and techniques. We build teams of consultants whose styles and
strengths effectively address the needs and preferences of our candidates to
help them achieve their specific goals. Our process is delivered in small-
group facilitated learning sessions that provide essential, elective and
special-needs learning, one-on-one counseling, specific coaching relationships
and just-in-time, needs-driven coaching advice. We also provide our candidates
with twenty-four hour a day, seven day a week support and internet access to
job search tools and market resources.

These learning sessions and coaching programs are designed to address a range
of career options, including comprehensive reemployment, career change,
contract work, consulting practice, entrepreneurship, retirement/work
combination and full retirement.

We offer the following individual career transition services:

o  Key Executive Service. The separation and career transition of a top
   executive presents a complex set of considerations for both the organization
   and the individual. Our Key Executive Service is targeted to provide fully-
   customized, high-value counseling and assistance to high-impact and high-
   level executives as they develop and manage their career transition. Our Key
   Executive Service includes helping executives assess business, career and
   personal/lifestyle options; assisting the evaluation and negotiation of
   competitive opportunities; advising on governance, executive compensation and
   venture capital sources; and providing access to a rich pool of new contacts.
   Senior consultants, who have an in-depth understanding of and personal
   experience in the senior executive community, deliver our Key Executive
   Service.

o  Executive Service. We provide a customized consultative program that helps
   executives plan and implement a career strategy, assess particular job
   options and opportunities, and successfully redeploy expertise and skills,
   while positioning the executive to achieve their short-term goals and long-
   term career objectives.

o  Professional/Management Service. We assist managers and professionals in
   assessing job options and opportunities while redeploying strengths and
   skills to achieve job goals as quickly as possible. Our services include
   career assessment, definition of career direction, resume preparation,
   development and implementation of a personal market plan, enhancement of
   interview skills, and the negotiation of job offers and compensation
   packages.

o  Market Readiness Service. We provide a comprehensive overview of the job-
   transaction process and practical strategies for conducting a successful job-

Group career transition services

We also provide career transition services in group settings for companies
making large reductions in their workforces at one time. The core of our group
programs are seminars that are typically from one to five days in duration and
for up to twelve employees. These seminars are often preceded or followed by
individual counseling. Our group workshops leverage proven and replicable
frameworks, models and samples of effective resumes, market approaches,
marketing plans, networking and contact actions, interview and negotiation
protocols and tips, and guidelines for effective self-management of a job-
search campaign. Historically, approximately 25% of our career transition
revenue is generated from group career transition services.

We can accommodate group programs in our facilities, or we can quickly design,
staff or manage career centers for corporate clients needing to provide career
transition services during a large-scale reduction in workforce of 250 or more
participants. For large scale workforce reductions, we often help our clients
to prepare the physical facilities for career centers, which are exclusively
dedicated to support the individual and group career transition services for
employees from one specific organization. We provide a turnkey solution for
career centers whereby we find and furnish an appropriate facility, provide or
obtain all necessary equipment and supplies, and staff the facilities with our
consultants and administrative support staff. For clients that wish to use
their own existing facilities, equipment and supplies, we provide our
consultants and limited administrative support. For small scale workforce
reductions, we frequently provide individual and group career transition
services to displaced employees in our own corporate facilities. Career
centers are run like company offices and are staffed with our consultants and
administrative personnel who provide office support technology and services.

Organizational consulting services
Organizational consulting services provide effective solutions to the evolving
human resource needs of clients, focusing on assisting organizations in
managing the human side of change. We are hired both to perform organizational
consulting services on a stand-alone basis and in conjunction with our career
transition services. Specifically, we focus on services addressing
organizational performance, leadership development and talent management.

Organizational performance
We provide the expertise, experience and proven approaches to help position
our clients for strategic success by helping them to ensure that their
employees are committed and working to achieve corporate objectives. Our
organizational performance experts help clients turn strategy into results by
assessing organizations, executing strategy and managing change. These
services are offered independently and are also provided in connection with
large-scale workforce reductions.

Our assessments often include conducting rigorous interviews and focus groups
of employees around the world, which can provide unique and valuable insights
and enable us to gather data consistently and cost-effectively. We serve as an
objective, outside resource for data gathering that encourages honest
communication about our clients' current practices and identifies areas for
improvement. We then help our clients to execute their strategies by
developing and articulating comprehensive and compelling messages that provide
employees with detailed action plans. We provide tools and training that
managers can use to communicate corporate strategy and build commitment
throughout the organization.

Leadership development
We help our clients to develop leaders who are capable of transforming their
businesses and helping to create sustainable competitive advantages. Our
consultants help clients to assess leaders by developing a clear picture of
each employee's strengths and weaknesses. We develop these assessments using
well-researched surveys, written responses, interviews and web-based
exercises, and we help our clients to measure and evaluate these
characteristics accurately in an objective, quantitative format. We then help
our clients by coaching employees to become effective leaders. We help them to
clarify behaviors that are contributing to success on the job, as well as
those that limit their effectiveness, identify their strengths and development
needs, recognize ways to become more open to constructive feedback, create an
action plan for development and identify resources such as mentors to ensure
continued success.

Talent management
We also help our clients to select the best talent by creating profiles of
high performers capable of significant contribution to the organization. Some
of our specific services include consulting on recruiting strategies,
designing and administering selection systems, training people how to conduct
effective interviews and consulting on new hire assimilation programs.

We then help our clients with issues of career development and management. We
use a combination of consulting, mentoring, coaching, training, communications
strategies, web-based tools and self-development initiatives to help employees
manage their careers and advancement opportunities.

We assist our clients to retain talent by developing and promoting diversity and
inclusiveness programs, mapping opportunities for people to move and grow within
an organization, and aligning rewards and recognition with business strategy.
With respect to succession issues, we help clients identify future workforce
needs, identify high- potential talent and design programs that assure the next
generation of leadership is adequately prepared to assume greater
responsibility.

Technology solutions
Our technology solutions are designed to be an integral part of our career
transition and organizational consulting services. We have made significant
investments in technology to augment our core services with online, twenty-
four hours a day, seven days a week access and support.

SALES AND MARKETING

We rely primarily on our reputation and our relationships to market our
services to new and existing clients. Most of our work is repeat work for
existing clients or referrals from existing clients. Our sales professionals
develop close, personal relationships with clients and often learn about new
business opportunities from their frequent contact with clients. Consequently,
we encourage our professionals to generate new business and reward them with
increased compensation and promotions for sales generating new business.

Our sales professionals consist of approximately 50 regional managing
principals and 250 client service consultants. We also have dedicated groups
of regional managing principals and client service consultants to pursue
specific business opportunities. Our strategic accounts group focuses on the
needs of 50 targeted companies, consisting of current and potential clients.
Our global response team pursues larger career transition opportunities on a
geographic basis as they develop.

We also pursue new clients using cross-disciplinary teams of consultants as
well as dedicated business developers to initiate relationships with carefully
selected companies. Our client expansion and new client acquisition efforts
are supported by market research, comprehensive sales training programs and
extensive marketing databases. Our sales efforts are also supported by

also constantly improving the quality and functionality of our websites, where
we describe our services and experience and promote our reputation.

COMPETITION

The market for career transition and organizational consulting services is
highly competitive. In the market for services required by global clients, we
believe that there are several barriers to entry, such as the global coverage,
specialized local knowledge and technology required to provide outstanding
services to corporations on a global scale.

Our current and anticipated competitors include:

o   major career transition services firms, such as Drake Beam Morin, a
    subsidiary of Thomson Corporation, a publishing company, and Lee Hecht
    Harrison, owned by Adecco Group SA, a provider of personnel and career
    services. Additionally, there are regional firms and numerous smaller
    boutiques operating in either limited geographic markets or providing
    limited services;

o   major organizational consulting firms that compete in serving the large
    employer market worldwide, such as William M. Mercer, Towers Perrin, Watson
    Wyatt and Hewitt Associates;

o   the organizational consulting practices of public accounting and consulting
    firms, such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte & Touche, Cap Gemini Ernst
    & Young and Accenture; and

o   boutique consulting firms comprised primarily of professionals formerly
    associated with the firms mentioned above.

The market for our services is subject to change as a result of competitive
and technological developments and increased competition from established and
new competitors. We believe that the primary determinants of selecting a
career transition and organizational consulting firm include reputation,
global scale, service quality, price and the ability to tailor services to a
client's unique needs in a timely manner. We believe we compete favorably in
all of these areas.

AFFILIATE ARRANGEMENTS

We have previously entered into agreements with independent franchisees, which
we call Affiliates, to provide career transition and organizational consulting
services within a defined geographic area. We assist our Affiliates in
providing career transition and organizational consulting services and permit
them to render such services exclusively under our trademarks and service marks.
We currently have five Affiliates, all in the United States. We have no
present intention to add any Affiliates, and as part of our operating
strategy, we have acquired ten of our former Affiliates since 1993.

We train our Affiliates and their employees in marketing and delivering career
transition and organizational consulting services. We are responsible for
overall guidance and have established company standards and policies relating
to our services. We provide proprietary sales and consulting materials,
administrative forms, training materials and materials relating to our system
of monitoring the progress of separated employees. We also provide marketing
support, public relations, advertising and promotional support, consisting of
national and international media efforts.

In consideration of our services provided, training and use of our trademarks
and service marks, our Affiliates pay us a 10% royalty on their total gross
receipts and a fee for services rendered in providing career transition
services to separated employees on certain contracts and accounts sold and
managed by Affiliates, but delivered outside an Affiliate's territory by a
company-owned office. Also, we pay our Affiliates for services delivered to
our clients by an Affiliate in its exclusive territory.

PEOPLE AND CULTURE

As of March 31, 2002, we employed approximately 2,900 full-time personnel and
part-time professional consultants. This included 20 in senior management,
approximately 525 in other managerial and professional roles, approximately

professionals and approximately 250 are organizational consulting services
professionals. Part-time professional consultants are generally required to
have prior executive or management experience and are provided company
training. None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining
agreements. In general, we believe that relations with our employees are good.

We have developed a corporate culture that promotes excellence in job
performance, respect for the ideas and judgment of our colleagues and
recognition of the value of the unique skills and capabilities of our
professional staff. We seek to attract highly qualified and ambitious
personnel. We strive to establish an environment in which all employees can
make their best personal contribution and have the satisfaction of being part
of a unique team. We believe that we have successfully attracted and retained
highly skilled employees because of the quality of our work environment, the
professional challenge of our assignments and the financial and career
advancement opportunities we make available to our staff.

To encourage the achievement of these core values, we reward teamwork and
promote individuals who demonstrate these values. Also, we have an intensive
orientation program for new employees to introduce them to our core values, as
well as a number of internal communications and training initiatives defining
and promoting these core values.

Principal and selling shareholders

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership
of our common stock as of April 30, 2002 for:

o   each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than five percent of
    our common stock;

o   each of our directors and named executive officers, including the selling
    shareholders; and

o   all directors and executive officers as a group.

Information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock for each selling
shareholder reflects such shareholder's holdings prior to the offering of our
common stock contemplated hereby, as adjusted to reflect the sale of 3,000,000
shares of common stock by us and 850,000 shares of common stock by the selling
shareholders in this offering and as adjusted to reflect the sale of 532,500
shares of common stock by us and 45,000 shares of common stock by one of our
shareholders if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full.

Richard J. Pinola, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our Board of
Directors, will be selling 640,000 shares of our common stock in this offering
and Joseph T. Smith, the Vice Chairman of our Board of Directors, will be
selling 210,000 shares of our common stock. It is anticipated that the shares
to be sold by Mr. Pinola and Mr. Smith will be acquired by them upon the
exercise of currently exercisable options held by them.

John J. Gavin, our President and Chief Operating Officer, will sell 45,000
shares of our common stock if the undewriters exercise in full the option we
and Mr. Gavin have granted them to purchase up to an additional 577,500 shares
of common stock to cover any over-allotments. It is anticipated that any shares
to be sold by Mr. Gavin will be acquired by him upon the exercise of currently
exercisable options held by him.

The following table is based upon information supplied by our directors,
officers and principal shareholders and information contained in Schedules 13D
and 13G and periodic statements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act that
have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information
regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock has been presented
according to rules of the SEC and is not necessarily indicative of beneficial
ownership for any other purpose. In computing the number of shares
beneficially owned by a person or a group and the percentage ownership of that
person or group, shares of common stock subject to options that are presently
exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of April 30, 2002 are deemed
outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the
person or group holding the options but are not treated as outstanding for the
purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or group.
Except as indicated by footnote, and subject to community property laws where
applicable, the shareholders named in the table below have sole voting and
investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as
beneficially owned by them. Percentage ownership in the table is based on
15,070,678 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 30, 2002, together
with applicable options for each shareholder.

Description of capital stock

Our authorized capital stock consists of 30,000,000 shares of common stock,
par value $.01 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par
value. As of April 30, 2002, 15,070,678 shares of common stock were issued and
outstanding. There are no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
The following summary description, which includes all of the material terms of
our capital stock, is qualified in its entirety by reference to our articles
of incorporation, as amended, and our amended and restated by-laws, each of
which are incorporated herein by reference.

COMMON STOCK

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters
submitted to a vote of our shareholders. Holders of our common stock are not
entitled to cumulate their votes for the election of our directors. Subject to
the preferential rights of any class or series of preferred stock that may be
issued by us in the future, holders of common stock are entitled to receive
equally any dividends declared on our common stock and, in the event of our
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, are entitled to share equally in all
of our remaining assets. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights
or rights to convert common stock into any other securities and are not
subject to future calls or assessments. Our common stock is quoted on the
Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "RMCI."

PREFERRED STOCK

Our board of directors, without any further vote or action by our
shareholders, has the authority from time to time to designate and issue one
or more classes or series of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares
to be included in each such class or series and the voting rights,
preferences, qualifications, privileges, limitations, restrictions, options,
conversion rights and other special or relative rights of the shares of each
such class or series. Our ability to issue preferred stock, while providing
flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate
purposes, could adversely affect the voting power of our common stock holders.
It could also have the effect of making it more difficult for a third-party to
acquire control of us and it may discourage a third party from attempting to
acquire us. At this time, we have no plans to issue any preferred stock.

PENNSYLVANIA BUSINESS CORPORATION LAW

We are subject to several provisions under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation
Law of 1988 which may make us less attractive to an entity or group interested
in acquiring control of us or may make an acquisition of us materially more
difficult. The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988 expressly permits
directors of a corporation to consider the interests of constituencies other
than shareholders, such as employees, suppliers, customers, creditors, the
communities in which the corporation operates and all other relevant factors, in
discharging their fiduciary duties. Furthermore, the Pennsylvania Business
Corporation Law of 1988 expressly provides that directors do not violate their
fiduciary duty solely by relying on shareholders' rights plans or anti- takeover
provisions under Pennsylvania law. In fact, the fiduciary duties of directors
are not increased with respect to any act taken by them that relates to or
affects a potential or proposed acquisition.

We are also subject to the provisions of Subchapter F of Subchapter 25 of the
Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988. In general, Subchapter F
prohibits a publicly held corporation from engaging in a "business
combination" with an "interested shareholder" unless the business combination
is approved by:

o   the corporation's board of directors prior to the interested shareholder
    becoming such;

o   a majority of the corporation's voting stock (not including voting stock
    beneficially owned by the interested shareholder or its affiliates and
    associates) at a meeting held more than three months after the interested
    shareholder became such, provided that the interested shareholder owns more
    than 80% of the corporation's voting stock and the transaction complies with
    the "fair price" and payment provisions;

o   a majority of the corporation's voting stock (not including voting stock
    beneficially owned by the interested shareholder or its affiliates and
    associates) at a meeting held more than five years after the interested
    shareholder became such;


                                                                             39



Description of capital stock
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o   by a vote of all the corporation's voting stock; or

o   by the corporation's shareholders at a meeting called for such purpose more
    than five years after the interested shareholder became such, provided that
    the transaction complies with the fair price and payment provisions.

In addition, Subchapter F does not apply to a business combination where the
board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which the interested
shareholder became such. A "business combination" includes certain mergers,
consolidations, share exchanges, asset transactions, stock issuances,
reclassifications and other transactions with an interested shareholder. An
"interested shareholder" includes any person who beneficially owns, directly
or indirectly, 20% or more of the corporation's voting stock.

The effect of these provisions may be to deter hostile takeovers involving
tender offers or other off-market acquisitions of shares that are made at
above-market prices. In addition, persons attempting to acquire control often
make market purchases that increase the market price of a company's stock.
Because these anti-takeover provisions may discourage any or all of such
acquisitions, particularly those of less than all of our common stock, holders
of our common stock may be denied the opportunity to sell their shares at a
temporarily higher market price.

The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988 contains three additional
provisions that would have applied to us had we not opted out of them. Our
articles of incorporation were amended to opt out of the "control share"
provision, which limits the voting power of certain shareholders owning 20% or
more of a corporation's voting stock, and our by-laws were amended to opt out of
the "disgorgement" provision, which permits a corporation to recover profits
from a controlling person or group from the sale of such person's or group's
shares in certain situations, and the "control transaction" provision, which
provides that if a corporation is involved in a control transaction, the
shareholders of such corporation have the right to demand from the controlling
person or group payment of the fair value of their shares.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS AND INDEMNIFICATION

Our amended and restated by-laws provide that none of our directors shall be
personally liable to us or our shareholders to the maximum extent permitted by
law. The effect of this provision is to limit our ability and the ability of
our shareholders to recover monetary damages from a director for a breach of
certain fiduciary duties (including breaches resulting from grossly negligent
conduct). This provision does not, however, exonerate a director from
liability (i) pursuant to any criminal statute or (ii) for the payment of
taxes pursuant to federal, state or local law. Our amended and restated by-
laws provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum
extent permitted by law, unless a court has determined that the act or failure
to act constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Stocktrans, Inc.,
Ardmore, Pennsylvania.

Material U.S. federal tax considerations for non-U.S. holders

The following is a general discussion of certain U.S. federal income and
estate tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our
common stock purchased pursuant to this offering by a non-U.S. holder. In
general, you are a non-U.S. holder if you are, for U.S. federal income tax
purposes: a non-resident alien individual, a foreign corporation or a foreign
partnership, or an estate or trust that in either case is not subject to U.S.
federal income tax on a net income basis on income or gain from common stock.
We assume in this discussion that you will hold our common stock issued
pursuant to this offering as a capital asset (generally, property held for
investment), and not, for example, for sale to customers in the ordinary
course of your trade or business. We do not discuss all aspects of U.S.
federal taxation that may be important, or have tax relevance, to you in light
of your particular circumstances, such as special tax rules that may apply to
you, for example, if you are a dealer in securities, financial institution,
bank, insurance company, tax-exempt organization or U.S. expatriate. We also
do not discuss certain aspects of the federal tax treatment of beneficial
owners that are partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships or
other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes Our
discussion is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, Treasury regulations, judicial opinions, published positions
of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other applicable authorities, all as
in effect on the date of this prospectus and all of which are subject to
differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. We have
not sought, and will not seek, any ruling from the IRS with respect to the tax
consequences discussed in this prospectus, and there can be no assurance that
the IRS will not take a position contrary to the tax consequences discussed or
described herein or that any position taken by the IRS will not be sustained.
We urge you to consult your tax advisors about the U.S. federal tax
consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of our common stock in your
particular circumstances, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under
the laws of any foreign, state, local or other taxing jurisdiction.

Dividends
Distributions paid on our common stock will constitute dividends for U.S.
federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current and
accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax
principles. Distributions in excess of earnings and profits will constitute a
return of capital that is applied against, and reduces, your adjusted tax
basis in our common stock, and thereafter as capital gain. Dividends paid to a
non-U.S. holder will generally be subject to withholding of U.S. federal
income tax at the rate of 30% or at a lower rate if you are eligible for the
benefits of an income tax treaty that provides for a reduction of (or
exemption from) withholding taxes or dividends. If the dividend is effectively
connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and (if
a tax treaty applies) is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment
maintained by you, the dividend will not be subject to any withholding tax
(provided certain certification requirements are met, as described below).

To claim the benefit of a tax treaty or an exemption from withholding because
the dividend is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business
in the United States, a non-U.S. holder must provide us with a properly
executed IRS Form W-8BEN for treaty benefits or W-8ECI for effectively
connected income, or in the case of payments made outside the United States to
an offshore account, as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, other
documents or evidence establishing your entitlement to a lower treaty rate or
exemption in accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulations. These forms must be
periodically updated. Non-U.S. holders who are eligible for a reduced rate of
U.S. withholding tax under a tax treaty, may seek a refund of any excess
amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund. Moreover, a
non-U.S. holder claiming the benefit of a tax treaty must provide notice of
such a position to the IRS.

A non-U.S. holder may also have to file an income tax return with the IRS. If
a non-U.S. holder is engaged in a United States trade or business, the non-
U.S. holder must file an income tax return even if the non-U.S. holder's
income is exempt from U.S. taxes under a statute or treaty, or in the case
where the non-U.S. holder has no effectively connected income from United
States trade or business in a tax year. Non-U.S. holders should consult with
their own tax advisors regarding U.S. income tax filing requirements for their
particular situations.






                                                                             41



Material U.S. federal tax considerations for non-U.S. holders
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are a corporate non-U.S. holder, "effectively connected" dividends that
you receive may, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional
"branch profits tax" at a 30% rate or at a lower rate if you are eligible for
the benefits of an income tax treaty.

Gain on disposition
A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, or
withholding, on gain recognized (or proceeds received) on a sale or other
disposition of our common stock unless any one of the following is true:

o   the gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder's conduct of a
    trade or business in the United States and, if a tax treaty applies,
    attributable to a United States permanent establishment maintained by such
    non-U.S. holder; or

o   the non-U.S. holder is an individual, holds stock as a capital asset and is
    present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of the
    disposition.

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first
bullet point above will be subject to the U.S. federal income tax imposed on
net income on the same basis that applies to U.S. persons generally (and, for
corporate holders under certain circumstances, the branch profits tax), but
will generally not be subject to withholding. Gains described in the second
bullet point above, to the extent not offset by U.S. source capital losses,
will be subject to a flat 30% U.S. Federal income tax, but will generally not
be subject to withholding. In both cases, non-U.S. holders will be required to
file a U.S. income tax return. Non-U.S. holders should consult any applicable
income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

U.S. federal estate taxes
Our common stock owned or treated as owned by an individual who at the time of
death is a non-U.S. holder will be included in his or her estate for U.S.
federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides
otherwise.

Information reporting and backup withholding
Under U.S. Treasury regulations, we must report annually to the IRS and to
each non-U.S. holder the amount of dividends paid to the non-U.S. holder and
the amount of tax withheld with respect to those dividends. These information
reporting requirements apply even if withholding was not required because, for
example, the dividends were effectively connected with a trade or business
conducted by the recipient in the United States, or withholding was reduced or
eliminated by an applicable tax treaty. Pursuant to an applicable tax treaty,
that information may also be made available to the tax authorities in the
country in which a non-U.S. holder is a citizen and/or a resident.

Backup withholding will generally not apply to payments of dividends made by
us or our paying agents (or other withholding agents) to a non-U.S. holder of
our common stock or with respect to dispositions of our common stock by a non-
U.S. holder if the non-U.S. holder has provided us with a U.S. taxpayer
identification number or the required certification that the non-U.S. holder
is not a U.S. person.

Backup withholding (as well as regular withholding, as described above) is not
an additional tax. Rather, amounts that are withheld under the backup (or
regular) withholding rules are potentially eligible to be refunded or credited
against the non-U.S. holder's federal income tax liability if certain required
information is furnished to the IRS. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own
tax advisors regarding application of backup withholding in their particular
circumstances and the availability of, and procedure for obtaining, an
exemption from backup withholding under current Treasury Regulations.

Underwriting

We, the selling shareholders and the underwriters for the offering named below
have entered into an underwriting agreement concerning the shares of our
common stock being offered. The underwriters' obligations are several, which
means that each underwriter is required to purchase a specified number of
shares, but it is not responsible for the commitment of any other underwriter
to purchase shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting
agreement, each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase the number of
shares of common stock set forth opposite its name below.




                                                                       Number of

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters
are conditional and may be terminated at their discretion based on their
assessment of the state of the financial markets. The obligations of the
underwriters may also be terminated upon the occurrence of the events
specified in the underwriting agreement. The underwriters are severally
committed to purchase all of the common stock being offered if any shares are
purchased, other than those covered by the over-allotment option described
below.

We and one of our shareholders have granted the underwriters an option to
purchase up to 577,500 additional shares at the public offering price, less
the underwriting discount and commissions, set forth on the cover of this
prospectus to cover over-allotments, if any. This option is exercisable for a
period of 30 days. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option,
the underwriters have severally agreed, subject to conditions, to purchase
shares in approximately the same proportion as set forth in the table above.

The following table provides information regarding the per share and total
underwriting discounts and commissions we and the selling shareholders will
pay to the underwriters. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and
full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase up to an additional
577,500 shares.




                                                                                         Paid by the selling

We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding
underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $1.1 million.

The underwriters propose to offer the common stock directly to the public
initially at the offering price set forth on the cover page of this
prospectus. The underwriters may offer the common stock to securities dealers
at that price less a concession not in excess of $__ per share. Securities
dealers may reallow a concession not in excess of $__ per share on sales to
certain other brokers or dealers. The underwriters reserve the right to reject
any order for the purchase of shares. If all of the shares are not sold at the
public offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and
other selling terms.

We, each of our directors and executive officers and the selling shareholders
have agreed with the underwriters not to sell, offer to sell, contract to sell,
grant any option to sell or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or in
our case file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act
relating to, any shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our common stock or other similar
securities during the period from the date of this prospectus continuing through
the date 90 days after the date of this prospectus, without the prior written
consent of UBS Warburg LLC.


                                                                             43



Underwriting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, in connection with this offering certain of the underwriters and
selling group members may engage in passive market making transactions in the
common stock on the Nasdaq National Market prior to the pricing and completion
of this offering. Passive market making consists of displaying bids on the
Nasdaq National Market no higher than the bid prices of independent market
makers and making purchases no higher than these independent bids in response
to order flow. Net purchases by a passive market maker on each day are limited
to a specified percentage of the passive market maker's average daily trading
volume in the common stock during a specified period and must be discontinued
when such limit is reached. Passive market making may cause the price of the
common stock to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in the
open market in the absence of such transactions. If passive market making is
commenced, it may be discontinued at any time.

The underwriters may engage in over-allotment transactions, stabilizing
transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance
with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Over-allotment
transactions involve syndicate sales in excess of the offering size, which
creates a syndicate short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to
purchase the underlying securities so long as the stabilizing bids do not
exceed a specified maximum. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases
of the common stock in the open market after the distribution has been
completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. Penalty bids permit the
underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the
common stock originally sold by such syndicate member is purchased in a
stabilizing transaction or syndicate covering transaction. These stabilizing
transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the
price of the common stock to be higher than it would otherwise be in the
absence of these transactions. Neither we nor the underwriters make any
representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described
above may have on the price of our common stock. These transactions may be
effected on the Nasdaq National Market, in the over-the-counter market or
otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

We and the selling shareholders have agreed in the underwriting agreement to
indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to contribute to
payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, the underwriters and
their affiliates have in the past performed, and may continue to perform,
investment banking, broker-dealer, lending, financial advisory, or other
services for us, including the provision of certain advisory services and making
loans to us, for which they have received, or may receive, customary
compensation. Affiliates of UBS Warburg LLC, Banc of America Securities LLC,
First Union Securities, Inc. and SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc. are lenders
under our revolving credit facility and our term loan facility.

Affiliates of UBS Warburg LLC, Banc of America Securities LLC, First Union
Securities, Inc. and SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc. will each receive more than
10% of the net proceeds of this offering upon the repayment of amounts
outstanding under our new credit facility, and therefore this offering is being
conducted in accordance with Conduct Rule 2710(c)(8) of the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc.

First Union Securities, Inc., acting under the trade name Wachovia Securities,
is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation. Wachovia
Corporation conducts its investment banking, institutional and capital markets
businesses through its various bank, broker-dealer and non-bank subsidiaries,
including First Union Securities, Inc., under the trade name of Wachovia
Securities. Any references to Wachovia Securities in this prospectus, however,
do not include Wachovia Securities, Inc., member NASD/SIPC and a separate
broker-dealer subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation and an affiliate of First
Union Securities, Inc., which may or may not be participating as a selling
dealer in the distribution of the securities offered by this prospectus.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.


         To the fullest extent permitted by the Pennsylvania Business
Corporation Law of 1988, we are required to indemnify our officers and
directors. Our by-laws provide that any director or officer who was or is a
party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any proceeding by reason of
the fact that they are or were a director or officer or were serving in any
capacity for another entity at the request of or for the benefit of us shall be
indemnified by us against any liability (including attorneys fees) reasonably
incurred by them in connection with such proceeding unless a court has
determined that the act or failure to act constituted willful misconduct or
recklessness. We are also required to promptly pay for or reimburse all expenses
incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of the
proceeding if the director or officer agrees to repay such advance if it is
ultimately determined that they are not entitled to such indemnification. We are
authorized to purchase and maintain insurance against our indemnification
obligations, or insure any person who is or was our director, officer, employee
or agent against any liability asserted against or incurred by them in any such
capacity or arising from their status as such, whether or not we have the power
to indemnify them against such liability. We currently maintain directors and
officers liability insurance. We are also empowered, by a majority vote of a
quorum of disinterested directors, to enter into a contract to indemnify any
director or officer against liability, whether occurring before or after the
execution of the contract. Except to the extent contrary to our by-laws or the
Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, we are not prevented or
restricted from making or providing for indemnities in addition to those
provided in our by-laws.


         The Underwriting Agreement provides for indemnification by the
underwriters of our directors, officers and controlling persons against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
under certain circumstances.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 15 above or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:


         For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.


         For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

SIGNATURES

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the

Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Philadelphia, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on the
