ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On January 19, 1998, OutSource International of America, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("OSIA"), completed the purchase of
substantially all of the assets, excluding accounts receivable, of Tempus, Inc.,
a Tennessee corporation ("Tempus") pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase
Agreement dated January 12, 1998. The purchase price for the assets was $4.75
million, which amount was paid by the delivery of $3.25 million in cash and $1.5
million in the form of a two-year, junior subordinated promissory note, which
note bears interest at an annual rate of six and one-half percent. In connection
with the acquisition, OSIA entered into a six-month employment agreement and
five and one half-year non-competition agreement with John Bechard, the
President and sole stockholder of Tempus.

         The purchase price was arrived at through arm's length negotiations
between the parties. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded from the
Registrant's revolving credit agreement with BankBoston, N.A., as agent.

         Tempus is one of the largest industrial temporary help firms in the
Memphis, Tennessee metropolitan area with estimated 1997 revenues of $17.5
million. The assets purchased by the Company included 17 business locations in
Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi and substantially all of the tangible and
intangible assets, excluding accounts receivable, at those locations.

         Immediately following the closing of the acquisition transaction with
Tempus, OSIA resold four of the business locations in Arkansas which it
purchased from Tempus, and the related assets at those locations, to Cruel Dave
Enterprises, LLC ("CDE"), an Arkansas limited liability company. The sale price
for the four business locations (representing approximately $3.0 million of 1997
revenues) was $780,000, paid in the form of a five-year promissory note, which
note bears interest at an annual rate of eight percent. A holder of fifty
percent of the membership interests in CDE was a franchisee of OutSource
Franchising, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant and an affiliate
of OSIA. In connection with the purchase, that franchise agreement (which
covers the four locations sold by OSIA to CDE) was assigned and transferred to
CDE. The sale price was arrived at through arm's length negotiations between the
parties.

         The Registrant currently intends to continue to operate the business
formerly conducted by Tempus, at all but one of the locations retained by OSIA,
with the purchased assets for the foreseeable future. The foregoing statement of
the Registrant's intention is a forward looking statement within the meaning of
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is based on certain
assumptions, including among others, general economic conditions, management's
expectations regarding the operating results of the Registrant and the purchased
locations, the capital requirements of continuing Tempus' current business, and
others. Should these assumptions change, or prove to be inaccurate, the
Registrant's actual future conduct of Tempus' business could differ materially
from the intention stated.

         The above descriptions of the purchase and sale agreements, and the
related promissory notes do not purport to be complete and are qualified in
their entirety by the full text of such documents which are attached as Exhibits
hereto.
