ITEM 1 - CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ON ASSIGNMENT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 AND 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the
Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). This Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with
the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Certain information and footnote disclosures which are normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations.
The information reflects all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the
opinion of the Company's Management, are necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position of the Company and its results of operations for the
interim periods set forth herein. The results for the three months ended March
31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year or any other period.

2. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," is effective for all fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133, as amended, establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities.
Under SFAS No. 133, certain contracts that were not formerly considered
derivatives may now meet the definition of a derivative. The Company has adopted
SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not
have a significant impact on the financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows of the Company.

3. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

4. Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$1,538,000 and $1,460,000 at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

5. Office furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated net of
accumulated depreciation and amortization of $3,677,000 and $3,389,000 at March
31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

6. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of
the net assets acquired. It is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15
years. Goodwill is stated net of accumulated amortization of $524,000 and
$486,000 at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

7. Revenue from temporary assignments, net of credits and discounts, is
recognized when earned, based on hours worked by the Company's temporary
employees on a weekly basis. Permanent placement fees are recognized when
earned, upon conversion of a temporary employee to a client's regular employee.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB 101), which
provides additional guidance in applying generally accepted accounting
principles to revenue recognition in the financial statements. The Company has
implemented the provisions of SAB 101 and its impact on their revenue
recognition policy is immaterial.

8. At March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, Common Stock, at a par value of
$0.01 per share, consisted of 75,000,000 shares authorized and 22,757,670 and
22,476,618 shares issued and outstanding net of 660,000 treasury shares (Note
9), respectively.

9. On April 1, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase
up to $15,000,000 of its common stock. The Company plans to make such purchases
primarily in the open market, from time to time, at prevailing prices pursuant
to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. At March 31,
2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company had repurchased 660,000 shares of its
common stock at a total cost of $7,812,000.

10. The following is a reconciliation of the shares used to compute basic and
diluted earnings per share:

31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

11. Indicated below is the information required to comply with SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.

The Company has two reportable operating segments: Lab Support and Healthcare
Staffing. The Lab Support operating segment includes the combined results of Lab
Support and EnviroStaff, as they have similar economic characteristics and they
meet the aggregation criteria of SFAS No. 131. The Lab Support segment provides
temporary and permanent placement services of laboratory and scientific
professionals to the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, chemical
and environmental industries. The Healthcare Staffing segment includes the
combined results of Healthcare Financial Staffing and Clinical Lab Staff. The
Healthcare Staffing segment provides temporary and permanent placement services
of medical billing and collection professionals, and medical staffing personnel
to the healthcare industry.

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

The information in this discussion contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are based upon
current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Any statements
contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be
forward-looking statements. For example, the words "believes," "anticipates,"
"plans," "expects," "intends" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results could differ materially
from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, the Company's ability to attract,
train and retain qualified Account Managers and temporary employees in the
laboratory and scientific, environmental health and safety, medical billing and
collections and clinical laboratory and medical staffing fields, management of
growth, particularly in international markets, risks inherent in expansion into
new international markets and new professions, the integration of acquired
operations, and other risks discussed in "Risk Factors That May Affect Future
Results" in Item 1 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2000, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Report and
from time to time in the Company's other reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements in this document are based
on information available to the Company as of the date hereof and the Company
assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 AND 2000:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REVENUES - Revenues increased by 15.4% from $44,345,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000, to $51,181,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001,
as a result of the increased revenues of the Lab Support and Healthcare Staffing
segments.

Lab Support segment's revenues increased by 14.8% from $32,078,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, to $36,841,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2001. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a 8.4% increase in
the number of temporary employees on assignment and to a lesser extent to a 6.4%
increase in average hourly billing rates and a 9.5% increase in conversion fee
revenue from $872,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $955,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase in the number of temporary
employees on assignment was primarily attributable to the strong performance in
most of the markets in which the Lab Support segment has older, more established
branches and to a lesser extent the contribution of new offices opened in the
past year. The increase in the Lab Support segment's revenues was partially
offset by one fewer working day in the 2001 period.

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

CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 AND 2000: (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Healthcare Staffing segment's revenues increased by 16.9% from $12,267,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $14,340,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a 13.0%
increase in the number of temporary employees on assignment and to a lesser
extent to a 4.5% increase in average hourly billing rates and a 28.8% increase
in conversion fee revenue from $111,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2000 to $143,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase in the
number of temporary employees on assignment was primarily attributable to the
strong performance in most of the markets in which the Healthcare Staffing
segment has older, more established branches and to a lesser extent the
contribution of new offices opened in the past year. The increase in the
Healthcare Staffing segment's revenues was partially offset by one fewer working
day in the 2001 period.

COST OF SERVICES - Cost of services consists solely of compensation for
temporary employees and payroll taxes, benefits and employment related expenses
paid by the Company in connection with such compensation. Cost of services
increased 15.2% from $29,899,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to
$34,454,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The Lab Support segment's
cost of services as a percentage of segment revenues decreased by 0.2% from
67.2% in the 2000 period to 67.0% in the 2001 period. This decrease was
primarily attributable to a 1.0% decrease in temporary employee compensation and
payroll taxes, partially offset by a 0.7% increase in employer paid benefits and
training expenses and a 0.1% increase in workers' compensation expense. The
Healthcare Staffing segment's cost of services as a percentage of segment
revenues increased by 0.1% from 67.9% in the 2000 period to 68.0% in the 2001
period. This increase was primarily attributable to a 0.6% increase in employer
paid benefits and training expenses and a 0.1% increase in workers' compensation
expense, partially offset by a 0.6% decrease in temporary employee compensation
and payroll taxes. The increase in employer paid benefits for both segments was
due to planned enhancements of existing programs designed to retain temporary
employees so they will be available for additional assignments.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Selling, general and
administrative expenses include the costs associated with the Company's network
of Account Managers and branch offices, including Account Manager compensation,
rent, other office expenses and advertising for temporary employees, and
corporate office expenses, such as the salaries of corporate operations and
support personnel, management compensation, Account Manager recruiting and
training expenses, corporate advertising and promotion, rent and other general
and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased 21.1% from $8,190,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to
$9,919,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from 18.5% in the
2000 period to 19.4% in the 2001 period. This increase was primarily
attributable to expenses incurred in the recruiting of new Account Managers for
the opening of new offices and the expansion of existing offices and increased
marketing expenses related to promotional activities for clients and employees.

INTEREST INCOME - Interest income increased 80.9% from $446,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, to $807,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2001. This increase was primarily the result of interest earned on higher
interest-bearing cash, cash equivalent and marketable security account balances
in the 2001 period.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES - Provision for income taxes increased 11.7% from
$2,496,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $2,789,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2001. The Company's effective tax rate decreased
from 37.2% in the 2000 period to 36.6% in the 2001 period. The decrease in the
effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in non-taxable interest
income and to a lesser extent a lower effective tax rate experienced on foreign
taxable income.

OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's primary sources of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2000
and 2001 were funds provided by operating activities. For the three months ended
March 31, 2000, operating activities provided $5,956,000 of cash compared to
$6,458,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. This increase was
primarily attributable to a smaller increase in accounts receivable in the 2001
period, higher net income, an increase in the tax benefit of disqualifying
dispositions and a larger increase in allowance for doubtful accounts. The
increase was partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses in the 2001 period compared to an increase in 2000, no change in income
taxes receivable in the 2001 period compared to an increase in the 2000 period,
a decrease in income taxes payable in the 2001 period compared to an increase in
2000 and an increase in prepaid expenses in the 2001 period compared to a
decrease in 2000.

Cash provided by investing activities totaled $792,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000, compared to cash used for investing activities of
$1,072,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. This decrease was
primarily attributable to purchases of marketable securities in the 2001 period.
The marketable securities purchased consisted principally of Tax Exempt
Municipal Bonds. This decrease was partially offset by decreases in advances and
deposits and in other assets during the 2001 period, compared to increases in
the 2000 period.

Cash provided by financing activities was $3,706,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, compared to $2,960,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower proceeds from the
exercise of common stock options in the 2001 period.

The Company believes that its cash balances, together with funds from operations
and its borrowing ability, will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements
through at least the next twelve months.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions in the
normal course of business, principally risks associated with interest rate and
foreign currency fluctuations. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk from
its held to maturity investments. The interest rate risk is immaterial due to
the short maturity of those investments. The Company is exposed to foreign
currency risk from the translation of foreign operations into U.S. dollars.
Based on the relative size and nature of its foreign operations, the Company
does not believe that a ten percent change in foreign currencies would have a
material impact on its financial statements.
