                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1995
                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    PRINCIPLES  OF CONSOLIDATION.  The Consolidated Financial Statements include
the  accounts  of  Robert  Half  International  Inc.  (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 1994 financial statements to conform  to
the 1995 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 six months  ended June 30, 1995, and
1994 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, 1994.

    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.

    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'  Equity.  Gains  and   losses  resulting  from  foreign   currency
transactions are included in the consolidated statements of income.

    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 June 30, 1995.

    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.

NOTE B -- SECURITIES REPURCHASE PROGRAM
    On  May 11, 1995,  the Company was  authorized by its  board of directors to
repurchase up to one million shares of  the Company's common stock from time  to
time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

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

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR EACH OF THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1995 AND 1994.

    Net  service  revenues increased  39.5% during  the  second quarter  of 1995
compared to the same  period in 1994.  Net service revenues  for the six  months
ended  June 30, 1995 increased  42.1% compared to the  six months ended June 30,
1994. Temporary service revenues increased approximately 40.6% and 42.8%  during
the  three and  six months ended  June 30, 1995,  relative to the  three and six
months ended June  30, 1994.  Permanent placement revenues  increased 29.8%  and
36.0%  during  the comparable  three and  six  months ended  June 30,  1995. The
revenue  comparisons  reflect  continued  improvement  in  the  demand  for  the
Company's specialized staffing services.

    Gross  margin dollars  increased 39.6%  and 42.2%  during the  three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1995, compared with the corresponding three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1994. Gross margin amounts equaled 38.9% and  38.8%
of  revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 38.8% of
revenue for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1994.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $41  million
and  $80 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to
approximately $29 million and $56 million during the three and six months  ended
June  30, 1994. Selling, general and  administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues was 27.3% and  27.2% in the  three and six months  ended June 30,  1995
compared to 27.1% and 27.2% in the three and six months ended June 30, 1994.

    Net interest income/expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995
decreased by 118% and 98% over the comparable 1994 periods due to an increase in
interest  income from an increase in cash and cash equivalents and a decrease in
interest expense due to a reduction in outstanding indebtedness.

    The provision for income taxes for the  three and six months ended June  30,
1995,  was 41.8% compared to 42.2% and 42.6% of income before taxes for the same
periods in 1994. The decrease in 1995  is the result of a smaller percentage  of
non-deductible intangible expenses relative to income.

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    As   of  June  30,   1995  the  Company's   sources  of  liquidity  included
approximately $23.9 million in  cash and cash equivalents  and $58.2 million  in
net working capital. In addition, as of June 30, 1995 $76.6 million is available
for  borrowing under the Company's $80.0  million bank revolving credit facility
at interest rates of either the Eurodollar rate plus 1% or at prime.

    The Company's liquidity during the first six months of 1995 has increased by
$25.5 million from funds generated by operating activities.

    On May 11, 1995,  the Company was  authorized by its  board of directors  to
repurchase  up to one million shares of  the Company's common stock from time to
time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

    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's offices, fixed payments and other long-term obligations.

     2.   PURPOSES OF THE PLAN.  The purposes of the Plan

Eligible Directors through their participation in the growth

Company's business.  To accomplish the foregoing objectives,
this Plan provides a means whereby Eligible Directors will
receive Options to purchase Stock.

     3.   STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.  The maximum number of
shares of Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of
Options is 200,000.  The shares of Stock covered by the

<PAGE>


grant.  The number of shares of Stock covered by Options is
subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 5.8.

     4.   ADMINISTRATION.  The Administrator shall have the
authority to grant Options upon the terms and conditions of
this Plan, and to determine all other matters relating to
this Plan.  The Administrator may delegate ministerial
duties to such employees of the Company as it deems proper.
All questions of interpretation, implementation and
application of this Plan shall be determined by the
Administrator, and such determinations shall be final and
binding on all persons.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Administrator is not composed of "disinterested persons"
within the meaning of the General Rules and Regulations
promulgated pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, said
Administrator shall delegate responsibility for

     5.   TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

          5.1. GRANT OF OPTION.  Options shall be granted
pursuant to this Plan as follows:

               5.1.1.    GRANT ON EFFECTIVE DATE.  Upon the
effective date of this Plan, an Option for 10,000 shares of
Stock shall be granted to each Eligible Director who shall
not previously have been granted an option by the Company
for the purchase of shares of Stock.

               5.1.2.    SUBSEQUENT GRANTS.  On the date of
each Annual Organizational Meeting subsequent to the
effective date of this Plan, an Option shall be granted to
each Eligible Director.  With respect to any Eligible

granted an option by the Company, whether pursuant to this
Plan or any other plan or arrangement with the Company, the
Option shall be for 5,000 shares of Stock.  Otherwise, the
Option shall be for 4,000 shares of Stock.

          5.2. EXERCISE PRICE.  The exercise price of an
Option shall be 100% of the value of the Stock on the Grant
Date, determined in accordance with Section 6 hereof.

          5.3. OPTION TERM.  Each Option granted under this
Plan shall expire ten (10) years from the Grant Date.

          5.4. OPTION EXERCISE.

               5.4.1.    INITIAL EXERCISE.  No Option may be
exercised in whole or in part until the later to occur of
(i) the first Vesting Date following the Grant Date of such

<PAGE>


Option and (ii) six months after the Grant Date of such
Option.

               5.4.2.    STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.  If
stockholder approval of this Plan is required (a) under the
rules and regulations promulgated under Section 16 of the
Exchange Act in order to exempt any transaction contemplated
by this Plan from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or (b)
by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, if the
Company's securities are listed thereon, or (c) by the rules
of the National Association of Securities Dealers automated
quotation system ("NASDAQ"), National Market System, if the
Company's securities are quoted thereon, then no Option may
be exercised in whole or in part until the stockholders of
the Company have approved this Plan.

               5.4.3.    COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.
Stock shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an
Option unless the exercise of the Option and the issuance
and delivery of Stock pursuant thereto shall comply with all
relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation,
the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, applicable state
securities laws, the rules and regulations promulgated under
each of the foregoing, the requirements of the New York
Stock Exchange (if the Company's securities are listed
thereon) and the requirements of NASDAQ pertaining to the
National Market System (if the Company's securities are
quoted thereon), and shall be further subject to the
approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

          5.5. REGISTRATION AND RESALE.  If the Stock
subject to this Plan is not registered under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities laws, the
Administrator may require that the Participant deliver to
the Company such documents as counsel for the Company may
determine are necessary or advisable in order to
substantiate compliance with applicable securities laws and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

          5.6. VESTING SCHEDULE.  An Optionee's right to
exercise an Option shall vest, as to twenty-five percent
(25%) of the Stock (as adjusted, pursuant to Section 5.8.1
hereof, if applicable) initially subject to the Option, on
each of the first through fourth Vesting Dates following the
Grant Date.

          5.7. PAYMENT UPON EXERCISE.  At the time written
notice of exercise of an Option is given to the Company, the
Optionee shall make payment in full, in cash or check or by
one of the methods specified in Section 5.7.1 or Section
5.7.2 below, for all Stock purchased pursuant to the
exercise of such Option.  Proceeds of any such payment shall
constitute general funds of the Company.

<PAGE>


               5.7.1.    PROMISSORY NOTE.  An Option may be
exercised by delivery of the Optionee's full recourse
promissory note for any portion or all of the aggregate
exercise price of the Stock as to which the Option is being
exercised.  Such note shall (a) bear interest at the lowest
rate which will not result in interest being imputed
pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, (b) mature four years
after the date of exercise and (c) be on such other terms as
determined by the Administrator.  Such promissory note shall
be secured by a security interest in the Stock purchased
pursuant to the Option and in such other manner, if any, as
the Administrator shall approve.

               5.7.2.    DELIVERY OF STOCK.  An Option may
be exercised by delivery by the Optionee of Stock already
owned by the Optionee for all or part of the aggregate
exercise price of the Stock as to which the Option is being
exercised, so long as (i) the value of such Stock
(determined as provided in Section 6) is equal on the date
of exercise to the aggregate exercise price of the shares of
Stock as to which the Option is being exercised, or such
portion thereof as the Optionee is authorized to pay by
delivery of Stock and (ii) such previously owned shares have
been held by the Optionee for at least six months.

          5.8. ADJUSTMENTS.

               5.8.1.    CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE.  If
the Stock is changed by reason of a stock split, reverse
stock split, stock dividend, or recapitalization, or is
converted into or exchanged for other securities other than
as a result of a Change of Control, the Administrator shall
make such appropriate adjustments in (i) the number and
class of shares of Stock subject to this Plan, (ii) each
Option outstanding under this Plan, and (iii) the exercise
price of each outstanding Option; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares
as a result of any such adjustment.  Each such adjustment
shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole
discretion, which determination shall be final and binding
on all persons.  Any new or additional Stock to which an
Optionee may be entitled under this Section 5.8.1 shall be
subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in
Section 5 of this Plan.

               5.8.2.    CHANGE OF CONTROL.  In the event of
a Change of Control, all Options shall vest immediately.

          5.9. NO ASSIGNMENT.  No right or benefit under, or
interest in, the Plan shall be subject to assignment or
transfer (other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution), and no such right, benefit or interest shall
be subject to attachment or legal process for or against
Participant or his or her beneficiaries, as the case may be.

<PAGE>


During the life of the Optionee, an Option shall be
exercisable only by the Optionee or, in the event of
disability of the Optionee, by the Optionee's guardian or
legal representative.

          5.10.     TERMINATION; EXPIRATION OF UNVESTED
OPTIONS.  Options granted to an Optionee under this Plan, to
the extent such rights have not expired or been exercised,
shall terminate on such Optionee's Termination Date;
provided, however, that an Option may be exercised, to the
extent vested and exercisable on the Termination Date, for a
period of thirty (30) days after such Optionee's Termination
Date; and, provided further, that if exercise of an Option
during such thirty (30) day period would subject such
Optionee to liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act, such thirty (30) day period shall not begin to run
until six (6) months from the date of the last Stock
transaction made, indirectly or directly, by such Optionee
prior to such Optionee's Termination Date.

     6.   DETERMINATION OF VALUE.  For purposes of this
Plan, the value of the Stock shall be the closing sales
price on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ National
Market System, as the case may be, on the date the value is
to be determined as reported in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
(Western Edition).  If there are no trades on such date, the
closing sale price on the last preceding business day upon
which trades occurred shall be the fair market value.  If
the Stock is not listed on the New York Stock Exchange or
quoted on the NASDAQ National Market System, the fair market
value shall be determined in good faith by the
Administrator.

     7.   MANNER OF EXERCISE.  An Optionee wishing to
exercise an Option shall give written notice to the Company
at its principal executive office, to the attention of the
Secretary of the Company, accompanied by an executed Stock
Purchase Agreement and by payment of the Option exercise
price in accordance with Section 5.7.  The date the Company
receives written notice of an exercise hereunder accompanied
by payment of the Option exercise price will be considered
the date such Option was exercised.  Promptly after receipt
of such written notice and payment, the Company shall
deliver to the Optionee or such other person permitted to
exercise such Option under Section 5.9, a certificate or
certificates for the requisite number of shares of Stock.
The Company shall pay any stock issue or transfer tax
incurred with respect to such exercise and issuance.

     8.   RIGHTS.

          8.1. RIGHTS AS OPTIONEE.  No Eligible Director
shall acquire any rights as an Optionee unless and until an
Option Agreement has been duly executed on behalf of the

<PAGE>


Company, delivered to the Optionee and executed by the
Optionee.

          8.2. RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER.  No person shall have
any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to
any Stock subject to an Option until the date that a stock
certificate has been issued and delivered to the Optionee.

          8.3. NO RIGHT TO REELECTION.  Nothing contained in
the Plan or any Option Agreement shall be deemed to create
any obligation on the part of the Board to nominate any
Director for reelection by the Company's stockholders, or
confer upon any Director the right to remain a member of the
Board for any period of time, or at any particular rate of
compensation.

     9.   REGISTRATION AND RESALE.  The Board may, but shall
not be required to, cause the Plan, the Options, and Stock
subject to the Plan to be registered under the Securities
Act and under the securities laws of any state.  No Option
may be exercised, and the Company shall not be obliged to
grant Stock upon exercise of an Option, unless, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such exercise and grant
is in compliance with all applicable federal and state
securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.  As a condition to the grant of an Option for
the issuance of Stock upon the exercise of an Option, the
Administrator may require that the Optionee agree to comply
with such provisions and federal and state securities laws
as may be applicable to such grant or the issuance of Stock,
and that the Optionee delivers to the Company such documents
as counsel for the Company may determine are necessary or
advisable in order to substantiate compliance with
applicable securities laws and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder.

     10.  AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.
The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, or
discontinue this Plan, except to the extent that stockholder
approval is required for any amendment or alteration (a) by
Rule 16b-3 or applicable law in order to exempt from Section
16(b) of the Exchange Act any transaction contemplated by
this Plan, or (b) by the rules of the New York Stock
Exchange, if the Company's securities are listed thereon, or
(c) by the rules of NASDAQ pertaining to the National Market
System, if the Company's securities are quoted thereon;
provided, however, no amendment, alteration, suspension or
discontinuation shall be made that would impair the rights
of any Optionee under an Option without such Optionee's
consent; and provided further, that if the Administrator is
not composed of "disinterested persons" within the meaning
of the General Rules and Regulations promulgated pursuant to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any provision in this Plan
relating to the eligibility of Directors to participate in

<PAGE>


this Plan, the timing of Option grants made under this Plan
or the amount of Options granted to a Director under this
Plan shall not be amended more than once every six months,
other than to comport with the changes in the Code or the
rules thereunder.  Subject to the foregoing, the
Administrator shall have the power to make such changes in
the regulations and administrative provisions hereunder, or
in any Option (with the Optionee's consent), as in the
opinion of the Administrator may be appropriate from time to
time.

     11.  INDEMNIFICATION OF ADMINISTRATOR.  Members of the
group constituting the Administrator shall be indemnified
for actions with respect to the Plan to the fullest extent
permitted by the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
and the By-laws of the Company and by the terms of any
indemnification agreement that has been or shall be entered
into from time to time between the Company and any such
person.

     12.  HEADINGS.  The headings used in this Plan are for
convenience only, and shall not be used to construe the
terms and conditions of the Plan.

     13.  EFFECTIVE DATE.  This Plan shall become effective
upon adoption by the Board.  If stockholder approval is
required (a) under the General Rules and Regulations
promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act in order to
exempt any transaction contemplated by this Plan from
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or (b) by the rules of the
New York Stock Exchange, if the Company's securities are
listed thereon, or (c) by the rules of NASDAQ pertaining to
the National Market System, if the Company's securities are
quoted thereon, then this Plan shall be submitted to the
stockholders of the Company for consideration at the next
annual meeting of stockholders.  The Administrator may make
Options conditioned on such approval, and any Option so made
shall be effective as of the date of grant, subject only to
such approval.
