ROBERT HALF INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2001

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS. Robert Half International Inc. (the "Company")
provides specialized staffing services through such divisions as
ACCOUNTEMPS-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-, ROBERT HALF-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-,
OFFICETEAM-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-, RHI CONSULTING-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-, RHI
MANAGEMENT RESOURCES-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-, THE AFFILIATES-REGISTERED
TRADEMARK-, and THE CREATIVE GROUP-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-. The Company, through
its ACCOUNTEMPS, ROBERT HALF, and RHI MANAGEMENT RESOURCES divisions, is the
world's largest specialized provider of temporary, full-time, and project
professionals in the fields of accounting and finance. OFFICETEAM specializes in
highly skilled temporary administrative support personnel. RHI CONSULTING
provides information technology professionals. THE AFFILIATES provides
temporary, project, and full-time staffing of attorneys and specialized support
personnel within law firms and corporate legal departments. THE CREATIVE GROUP
provides project staffing in the advertising, marketing, and web design fields.
Revenues are predominantly from temporary services. The Company operates in the
United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. The Company is a
Delaware corporation.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION. The Consolidated Financial Statements include
the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned.
All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the 2000 financial statements to conform to
the 2001 presentation.

REVENUE RECOGNITION. Temporary and consultant staffing services revenues
are recognized when the services are rendered by the Company's temporary
employees. Permanent placement staffing revenues are recognized when employment
candidates accept offers of permanent employment. Allowances are established to
estimate losses due to placed candidates not remaining employed for the
Company's guarantee period, typically 90 days.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Intangible assets primarily consist of the cost of
acquired companies in excess of the fair market value of their net tangible
assets at acquisition date, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis
over a period of 40 years. The carrying value of intangible assets is
periodically reviewed by the Company and impairments are recognized when the
expected future operating cash flows derived from such intangible assets are
less than their carrying value. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company
believes that no material impairment of intangible assets existed at June 30,
2001.

INCOME TAXES. Deferred taxes are computed based on the difference between
the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the
enacted marginal tax rates.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The results of operations of the Company's
foreign subsidiaries are translated at the monthly average exchange rates
prevailing during the period. The financial position of the Company's foreign
subsidiaries is translated at the current exchange rates at the end of the
period, and the related translation adjustments are recorded as a component of
comprehensive income within Stockholders' Equity. Gains and losses resulting
from foreign currency transactions are included in the Consolidated Statements
of Income.

USE OF ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported

amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT. Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over
the shorter of the life of the related asset or the life of the lease.

ADVERTISING COSTS. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred.

NOTE B--NET INCOME PER SHARE

The calculation of net income per share for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 is reflected in the following table (in thousands, except
per share amounts):

NOTE C--BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company has two reportable segments: temporary and consultant staffing,
and permanent placement staffing. The temporary and consultant staffing segment
provides specialized personnel in the accounting and finance, administrative and
office, information technology, legal, advertising, marketing, and web design
fields. The permanent placement staffing segment provides full-time personnel in
the accounting, finance, and information technology fields.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
Note A: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company evaluates
performance based on profit or loss from operations before interest expense,
intangible amortization expense, and income taxes.

NOTE D--NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, and
No. 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS. SFAS No. 141 requires all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, to be accounted for using
the purchase method. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer subject to
amortization over its estimated useful life. The Company will adopt SFAS
No. 142 on January 1, 2002, resulting in the discontinuance of the amortization
of certain intangible assets currently amortized over 40 years. The methods used
for evaluating and measuring impairment of those assets will change. While the
Company has not applied the new impairment analysis, it is not expected to have
a material effect on the financial statements.

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

Certain information contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis and in
other parts of this report may be deemed forward-looking statements regarding
events and financial trends that may affect the Company's future operating
results or financial positions. These statements may be identified by words such
as "estimate", "project", "plan", "intend", "believe", "expect", "anticipate",
or variations or negatives thereof or by similar or comparable words or phrases.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the
statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the
following: changes in levels of unemployment and other economic conditions in
the U.S. or foreign countries where the Company does business, or in particular
regions or industries; reduction in the supply of qualified candidates for
temporary employment or the Company's ability to attract qualified candidates;
the entry of new competitors into the marketplace or expansion by existing
competitors; the ability of the Company to maintain existing client
relationships and attract new clients in the context of changing economic or
competitive conditions; the impact of competitive pressures, including any
change in the demand for the Company's services, on the Company's ability to
maintain its profit margins; the possibility of the Company incurring liability
for the activities of its temporary employees or for events impacting its
temporary employees on clients' premises; the success of the Company in
attracting, training and retaining qualified management personnel and other
staff employees; and whether governments will impose additional regulations or
licensing requirements on personnel services businesses in particular or on
employer/ employee relationships in general. Because long-term contracts are not
a significant part of the Company's business, future results cannot be reliably
predicted by considering past trends or extrapolating past results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR EACH OF THE THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000

Temporary and consultant staffing services revenues were $594 million and
$606 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively,
decreasing by 2% during the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the
same period in 2000. Temporary and consultant staffing services revenues were
$1,249 million and $1,180 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
2000, respectively, increasing by 6% during the six months ended June 30, 2001
compared to the same period in 2000. Permanent placement revenues were
$54 million and $65 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, decreasing by 17% during the three months ended June 30, 2001
compared to the same period in 2000. Permanent placement revenues were
$119 million and $124 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, decreasing by 3% during the six months ended June 30, 2001
compared to the same period in 2000. Results were impacted by the weakening
economy.

As of June 30, 2001, the Company had 334 offices in 40 states and the
District of Columbia and ten foreign countries. Revenues from domestic
operations represented 86% of revenues for both the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001, and 89% of revenues for both the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000. Revenues from foreign operations represented 14% of revenues for
both the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, and 11% of revenues for both
the three and six months ended June 30, 2000.

Gross margin dollars from the Company's temporary and consultant staffing
services represent revenues less direct costs of services, which consist of
payroll, payroll taxes and insurance costs for temporary employees. Gross margin
dollars from permanent placement services are equal to revenues, as there are no
direct costs associated with such revenues. Gross margin dollars for the
Company's temporary and consultant staffing services were $219 million and
$465 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively,
compared to $224 million and $437 million for the comparable periods in 2000,
decreasing by 2% for the three months ended June 30, 2001, and increasing by 6%
for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Gross margin amounts equaled 37% of
revenues for temporary and consultant staffing services for both the three and
six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to 37% of temporary and consultant
staffing service revenues for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2000,
which the Company believes reflects its ability to adjust billing rates and wage
rates to underlying market conditions. Gross margin dollars for the Company's
permanent placement division were $54 million and $119 million

8
<Page>
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively, compared to
$65 million and $124 million for the comparable periods in 2000, decreasing by
17% and 3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $213 million and
$448 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively,
compared to $215 million and $416 million during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues were 33% for both the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001, compared to 32% for both the three and six months ended June 30,
2000, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist
primarily of staff compensation, advertising, depreciation, and occupancy costs.
The increase in 2001 relates primarily to additional field staff and ongoing
technology investments.

The Company allocates the excess of cost over the fair market value of the
net tangible assets first to identifiable intangible assets, if any, and then to
goodwill. Although management believes that goodwill has an unlimited life, the
Company amortizes these costs over 40 years. Management believes that its
previous acquisitions of established companies in established markets and
maintaining its presence in these markets preserves the goodwill for an
indeterminate period. The carrying value of intangible assets is periodically
reviewed by the Company and impairments are recognized when the expected future
operating cash flows derived from such intangible assets is less than their
carrying value. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that
no material impairment of intangible assets existed at June 30, 2001. Net
intangible assets represented 16% of total assets and 21% of total stockholders'
equity at June 30, 2001.

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 was
$2.4 million and $2.7 million respectively. Interest expense for both the three
months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 was $.2 million. Interest income for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 was $5.1 million and $4.4 million
respectively, while interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
2000 was $.4 million and $.5 million, respectively.

The provision for income taxes was 38% for both the three and six months

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The change in the Company's liquidity during the six months ended June 30,
2001 is the net effect of funds generated by operations and the funds used for
capital expenditures, repurchases of common stock and principal payments on
outstanding notes payable. As of June 30, 2001, the Company has authorized the
repurchase, from time to time, of up to 28 million shares of the Company's
common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions,
depending on market conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the
Company repurchased approximately 2.1 million shares of common stock on the open
market bringing the total shares repurchased under the authorization to
17.8 million. Repurchases of the securities have been funded with cash generated
from operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company generated
$144 million from operations, used $53 million in investing activities and used
$52 million in financing activities.

The Company's working capital at June 30, 2001, included $278 million in
cash and cash equivalents. In addition at June 30, 2001, the Company had
available $75 million of its $80 million bank revolving line of credit. The
Company's working capital requirements consist primarily of the financing of
accounts receivable. While there can be no assurances in this regard, the
Company expects that internally generated cash plus the bank revolving line of
credit will be sufficient to support the working capital needs of the Company,
the Company's fixed payments, and other obligations on both a short and
long-term basis. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had no material capital
commitments.
