ROBERT HALF INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

(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- and RHI Consulting-Registered Trademark-. The
Company, through its Accountemps and Robert Half divisions, is the world's
largest specialized provider of temporary and permanent personnel in the fields
of accounting and finance. OfficeTeam specializes in skilled temporary
administrative personnel and RHI Consulting provides contract information
technology professionals. Revenues are predominantly from temporary services.
The Company operates in the United States, Canada and Europe. 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.
The company is a Delaware corporation. All significant intercompany balances
have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995
financial statements to conform to the 1996 presentation.

INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The Consolidated Financial Statements have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in management's opinion, include all
adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for such interim periods.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules or regulations; however,
the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.

The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. It is
suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

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

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of
Cash Flows, the Company classifies all highly-liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less as cash equivalents.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Intangible assets represent the cost of acquired
companies in excess of the fair market value of their net tangible assets at the
acquisition date, and 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 exist at September 30, 1996.

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 rate.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. Foreign income statement items are translated
at the monthly average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Foreign
balance sheets are translated at the current exchange rates at the end of the
period, and the related translation adjustments are recorded as part of
Stockholders'

SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 comformity
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.

NOTE B--STOCK SPLIT

In June 1996, the Company effected a two-for-one stock split in the form of
a stock dividend. All share and per share amounts in the financial statements
have been restated to retroactively reflect the two-for-one stock split.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR EACH OF THE THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

Temporary services revenues were $215 million and $146 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, increasing by 47% during
the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.
Temporary services revenues were $589 million and $414 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, increasing by 42% during
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.
Permanent placement revenues were $18 million and $13 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, increasing by 38% during
the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.
Permanent placement revenues were $51 million and $38 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, increasing by 34% during
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.
Overall revenue increases reflect continued improvement in demand for the
Company's services, which the Company believes is a result of increased
acceptance in the use of professional staffing services. Revenues from companies
acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were not material.

The Company currently has more than 190 offices in 36 states and five
foreign countries. Domestic operations represented 91% of revenues for both the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, and 90% of revenues for both the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1995. Foreign operations represented
9% of revenues for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, and
10% of revenues for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995.

Gross margin dollars from the Company's temporary services represent
revenues less direct costs of services, which consists 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
services were $74 million and $202 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996, respectively, compared to $49 million and $138 million for
the comparable periods in 1995, increasing by 51% and 46% for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1996, respectively. Gross margin amounts equaled 34%
of revenues for temporary services for both the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996, compared to 34% and 33% of temporary service revenues for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, 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 $18 million and $51 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, compared to $13 million and $38
million for the comparable periods in 1995, increasing by 38% and 34% for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $64 million and $176
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively,
compared to approximately $43 million and $123 million during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1995, respectively. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 27% and 28% for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, compared to 27%
for the same periods in 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses
consist primarily of staff compensation, advertising and occupancy costs, most
of which generally follow changes in revenues.

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
strategy of making 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

7
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 September
30, 1996. Intangible assets represented 43% of total assets and 56% of total
stockholders' equity at September 30, 1996.

Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was
$783,000 and $381,000, respectively, while interest expense for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $174,000 and $164,000, respectively.
Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was
$2,006,000 and $739,000, respectively, while interest expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $429,000 and $539,000,
respectively. These changes reflect an increase in cash and cash equivalents and
a decrease in outstanding indebtedness.

The provision for income taxes for both the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 was 41% compared to 41% for the three months ended September
30, 1995 and 42% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The decrease for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 is the result of a smaller percentage of non-deductible
intangible expenses relative to income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The change in the Company's liquidity during nine months ended September 30,
1996 is the net effect of funds generated by operations and the funds used for
the personnel services acquisitions, capital expenditures and principal payments
on outstanding notes payable. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the
Company generated $37.9 million from operations, used $14.3 million in investing
activities and provided $6.1 million by financing activities.

The Company's working capital at September 30, 1996 included $71.0 million
in cash and cash equivalents. In addition at September 30, 1996, the Company had
available $68.8 million of its $75 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 September 30, 1996, the Company had no material capital
commitments. The Company's revolving bank line has scheduled reductions in
availability through 2001 when the agreement terminates.

In June 1996, the company effected a two-for-one stock split in the form of
a stock dividend. All share and per share amounts in the financial statements
have been restated to retroactively reflect the two-for-one stock split.

In 1996, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of".
The adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material impact upon the Company's
financial statements.
