1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have
been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include
all the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. All adjustments, consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments, have been made which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim
periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results of operations for a full year. The unaudited consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2000 (the 2000 consolidated financial statements).

2. Segment Disclosures

The Company's reportable segments, which are based on the Company's method of
internal reporting, are: (1) U.S. Commercial Staffing, (2) Professional,
Technical and Staffing Alternatives (PTSA) and (3) International. The following
table presents information about the reported sales and earnings from operations
of the Company for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 30, 2001 and
October 1, 2000. Segment data presented is net of intersegment revenues. Asset
information by reportable segment is not presented, since the Company does not
produce such information internally.

3. Contingencies

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and liabilities
which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Litigation is subject to
many uncertainties, the outcome of individual litigated matters is not
predictable with assurance and it is reasonably possible that some of the
foregoing matters could be decided unfavorably to the Company. Although the
amount of the liability at September 30, 2001 with respect to these matters
cannot be ascertained, the Company believes that any resulting liability will
not be material to the financial statements of the Company at September 30,
2001.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition.

Results of Operations:
Third Quarter
Sales of services in the third quarter of 2001 were $1.066 billion, a decrease
of 7.6% from the same period in 2000. Sales declined in the U.S. Commercial
Staffing segment by 14.3% in the third quarter as compared to last year. Sales
declined 14% in July, 13% in August and 15% in September. The trend improved
slightly in August, but worsened in September, leading the Company to expect
continued significantly negative U.S. Commercial sales comparisons for the
fourth quarter.

Professional, Technical and Staffing Alternatives (PTSA) sales decreased by 0.2%
compared to last year. Although this is a decrease compared to the second
quarter PTSA growth rate of 3.8%, individual business unit performance was
varied. Kelly Engineering Resources sales increased over 10% during the third
quarter as compared to prior year. This unit provides engineering support to the
aerospace, chemical, petrochemical and electrical industries. We continue to see
growth in demand in this unit in spite of the economic environment. In addition,
General Contractor Services experienced accelerating year over year sales growth
of nearly 50% in the third quarter. This small, but rapidly growing unit manages
multiple staffing suppliers on behalf of customers, primarily for professional
and technical temporary employees. Kelly Staff Leasing continued to contribute
positive sales growth during the quarter as well.

However, most units within PTSA experienced slower sales growth when compared to
the previous two quarters. In fact, three large units, the Automotive Services
Group, Kelly Law Registry and Kelly IT Resources experienced double-digit
revenue declines in the third quarter. These declines are consistent with the
trends in the industry.

Translated U.S. dollar sales in the International segment decreased by 0.5% as
compared to the third quarter of 2000. However, on a constant currency basis,
international revenue growth was approximately 2%, which reflected slowing from
the 4% growth rate in the second quarter. The Company experienced continued
slowing of demand in Canada, Puerto Rico and Australia, and the beginnings of
significant slowing throughout Continental Europe. Recruitment fee income also
decreased during the third quarter.

Cost of services, consisting of payroll and related tax and benefit costs of
employees assigned to customers, decreased 5.7% in the third quarter as compared
to the same period in 2000.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 16.1% in 2001, which was down from the
17.8% rate in 2000. The gross profit rates of all three of the Company's
business segments showed decreases, as compared to last year, primarily due to
an ongoing shift in mix of sales to larger customers, combined with decreases in
recruitment fee income.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $164.0 million in the third
quarter, an increase of 1.2% over the same period in 2000. That is a sequential
improvement from the 7.3% growth rate during the first quarter, and 4.4% growth
during the second quarter. The Company implemented a number of expense reduction
initiatives that began to show results during the third quarter. Expenses
averaged 15.4% of sales in the third quarter of 2001, a 1.4% increase versus the
14.0% rate in 2000.

Earnings from operations of $7.7 million were 82.3% lower than the third quarter
of 2000. U.S. Commercial earnings totaled $27.5 million, a decrease of 44.5%
compared to earnings of $49.6 million last year. Expenses were well managed, and
decreased nearly 3% versus last year. However, the 14.3% sales decrease,
combined with the decrease in gross profit rate, produced the significant
earnings decline.

PTSA earnings totaled $10.0 million, a 49.6% decrease compared to earnings of
$19.8 million last year. The Company continued to invest in the professional and
technical businesses, opening new branches and implementing new technology,
which impacted the expenses in the third quarter. In addition, recruitment fee
income decreased in many business units, which negatively impacted the gross
profit rate.

International earnings totaled $4.3 million, down 48.8%, compared to earnings of
$8.4 million last year. Decreases in recruitment fee income negatively impacted
profitability, despite a quarter of relatively good expense control.

Net interest expense was $135 thousand, a 54.5% improvement compared to last
year's net interest expense of $297 thousand. The improvement is primarily
attributable to higher cash levels than last year, combined with the impact of
lower interest rates on both investment and short term debt balances.
10






Earnings before income taxes were $7.6 million, a decrease of 82.5%, compared to
pretax earnings of $43.5 million earned for the same period in 2000. Income
taxes were 40.0% of pretax income in the third quarter of 2001 and 40.2% in the
third quarter of 2000.

Net earnings were $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2001, a decrease of 82.4%
from the third quarter of 2000. Diluted earnings per share were $.13, a decrease
of 82.2% as compared to $.73 in the same period last year.

Year-to-Date

Sales of services totaled $3.220 billion during the first nine months of 2001, a
decrease of 3.6% from 2000. Sales in the U.S. Commercial Staffing segment
declined by 7.5%, while PTSA sales grew by 2.2% compared to last year.
Translated U.S. dollar sales in the International segment declined by 1.0% as
compared to the first nine months of 2000. However, on a constant currency
basis, international revenue growth was approximately 4%.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 16.5% in 2001, which decreased 1.2%
compared to the 17.7% rate recorded last year. This reflected decreases in the
gross profit rates of all three business segments, primarily due to a shift in
mix of sales to larger customers, combined with decreases in recruitment fee
income.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $504.6 million were 4.3% higher
than last year. The expense rate was 15.7% of sales in 2001 and 14.5% in 2000.
Compared to last year, the impact of lower sales, combined with increased
depreciation, drove most of the increase in the expense rate.

Net interest expense for the first nine months was $411 thousand, compared to
last year's net interest expense of $177 thousand. The increase in net interest
expense for the nine-month period is primarily attributable to higher average
short-term borrowing levels than last year, particularly during the first
quarter, partially offset by higher cash balances and lower interest rates
during the second and third quarters.

Earnings before taxes were $26.4 million, a decrease of 75.3% from 2000. These
earnings averaged a pretax margin of 0.8% in the first nine months of 2001 and
3.2% in 2000. Income taxes were 40.0% of pretax earnings in the first nine
months of 2001 and 40.2% in 2000.

Net earnings were $15.8 million or 75.2% below the first nine months of 2000.
Diluted earnings per share were $.44, a decrease of 75.3% as compared to $1.78
in the first nine months of 2000.

Financial Condition

Assets totaled $1.079 billion at September 30, 2001, a decrease of 1.0% from the
$1.090 billion at December 31, 2000. Working capital decreased $11.7 million
during the nine-month period. The current ratio was 1.6 at September 30, 2001
and December 31, 2000.

During the first nine months of 2001, net cash from operating activities was
$105.9 million, an increase of 2.2% from the comparable period in 2000. This
increase resulted principally from a decrease in the accounts receivable balance
offset by a decline in net earnings and lower growth of payroll and related
taxes. The Company's global day's sales outstanding for the third quarter were
50 days in 2001, an improvement of one day over the 51 days reported in 2000.

Capital expenditures for the first nine months totaled $31.1 million, down 11.6%
from the $35.2 million spent during the same period of 2000. Of the total, over
75% related to information technology investments. Capital expenditures peaked
in 1999 at $77 million. The Company reduced capital expenditures last year to
$54 million. Annual capital expenditures are projected to total between $40 to
$45 million in 2001.

During the first quarter, the Company acquired a fully leased commercial office
building that will be used for future expansion. This transaction was the second
leg of a tax-free exchange for undeveloped land the Company initiated in the
fourth quarter of 2000. The land was effectively swapped for the building, but
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, it is shown as a
cash acquisition for $11.8 million in the first nine months of 2001.

The quarterly dividend rate applicable to Class A and Class B shares outstanding
was $.25 per share in the third quarter of 2001.

The Company's financial position continues to be strong. The Company continues
to carry no long-term debt and expects to meet its growth requirements
principally through cash generated from operations.
11






Market Risk-Sensitive Instruments And Positions
The Company does not hold or invest in derivative contracts. The Company is
exposed to foreign currency risk primarily due to its net investment in foreign
subsidiaries. This risk is mitigated by the use of the Company's multi-currency
line of credit. This credit facility is used to borrow in local currencies which
mitigates the exchange rate risk resulting from foreign currency-denominated net
investments fluctuating in relation to the U.S. dollar. In addition, the Company
is exposed to interest rate risks through its use of the multi-currency line of
credit.

Overall, the Company's holdings and positions in market risk-sensitive
instruments do not subject the Company to material risk.

New Accounting Standards
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
No. 141, Business Combinations. Statement 141 requires that the purchase method
be used for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The Company
does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.

In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. Statement 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings,
but instead be reviewed for impairment. The provisions of this Statement are
required to be applied starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001. This Statement is required to be applied at the beginning of an entity's
fiscal year and to be applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets
recognized in its financial statements at that date. Impairment losses for
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets that arise due to the initial
application of this Statement are to be reported as resulting from a change in
accounting principle. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30,
2001, will be subject immediately to the nonamortization and amortization
provisions of this Statement. The Company has not completed its determination of
the impact that the adoption of this new accounting standard will have on its
consolidated financial statements.

In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This Statement supercedes FASB Statement No.
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations
- - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. This
Statement also amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated
Financial Statements. The provisions of this Statement are effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001,
and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application
encouraged. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, that this
Statement will have on its consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
