    Registrant hereby amends to read in its entirety as set forth herein Item 7,
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and Item 8, Financial Statements. The only portion of Item 8 that has
been changed is the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity to state the
number of common shares affecting the transactions disclosed. Exhibit 23.1 is
added hereby, and is in addition to Exhibit 23 as originally filed.
 
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS
 
    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
    Temporary services revenues were $577 million, $406 million and $279 million
for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, increasing
by 42% during 1995 and 46% during 1994. The increase in revenues during these
periods reflected in part revenues generated from the Company's OfficeTeam and
RHI Consulting divisions, which were started in 1991 and 1994, respectively.
Permanent placement revenues were $52 million, $40 million and $27 million for
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, increasing by
30% during 1995 and 48% during 1994. 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 1995, 1994 and 1993 were not material.
 
    The Company currently has more than 185 offices in 36 states and five
foreign countries. Domestic operations represented 90%, 91% and 92% of revenues
for the three years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Foreign operations represented 10%, 9% and 8% of revenues for those years.
 
    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 $192 million, $133 million and $91 million for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, increasing by 44% in 1995 and
46% in 1994. Gross margin amounts equaled 33% of revenues for temporary services
for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, 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 $52 million, $40 million and $27 million for each of the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, increasing by 30% and 48% in
1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
    Selling, general and administrative expenses were $171 million during 1995
compared to $122 million in 1994 and $88 million in 1993. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 27% in both the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, and 29% for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of staff
compensation, advertising and occupancy costs, most of which generally follow
changes in revenues. The percentage decline from 1993 primarily reflected
revenue growth and management of staff compensation costs.
 
    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 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 December 31, 1995.
Intangible assets represented 52% of total assets and 68% of total stockholders'
equity at December 31, 1995.
 
    Interest income for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was
$1,237,000, $144,000 and $0, respectively. Interest expense for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $774,000,
<PAGE>
$1,714,000 and $3,992,000, respectively. These changes reflect an increase in
cash and cash equivalents and a decrease in outstanding indebtedness.
 
    The provision for income taxes was 42% for both the years ended December 31,
1995 and 1994 and 46% for the year ended December 31, 1993. The decrease in 1994
is the result of a smaller percentage of non-deductible intangible expenses.
 
    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    The change in the Company's liquidity during the past three years is the net
effect of funds generated by operations and the funds used for the personnel
services acquisitions, capital expenditures, principal payments on outstanding
notes payable, and the securities repurchase program. No open market purchases
of the Company's stock were made during the year ended December 31, 1995. For
the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company generated $42.2 million from
operations, used $9.4 million in investing activities and provided $6 million
from financing activities.
 
    The Company's working capital at December 31, 1995 included $41.3 million in
cash and cash equivalents. In addition at December 31, 1995, the Company had
available $76.6 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 December 31, 1995, 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 November 1994, the Company issued 633,555 shares of its common stock. The
net proceeds from the sale of shares were approximately $12.6 million. The
Company used the proceeds for repayment of the borrowing under the Company's
revolving credit agreement.
 
    On December 10, 1993, substantially all the Company's outstanding
convertible subordinated debentures were converted into common stock of the
Company. See Note F in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
    In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
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 Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 121 in 1996 and believes that the adoption
will not have a material impact upon its financial statements.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
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.
All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the 1994 and 1993 financial statements to
conform to the 1995 presentation.
 
    REVENUE RECOGNITION.  Temporary services 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. Allowances 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.  The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with an original 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
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 is less than their carrying
value. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no
material impairment of intangible assets exists at December 31, 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.
 
    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 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.
 
    USE OF ESTIMATES.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make

NOTE K--PREFERRED SHARE PURCHASE RIGHTS
 
    Pursuant to the Company's stockholder rights agreement, each share of common
stock carries one right to purchase one two-hundredth of a share of preferred
stock. The rights become exercisable in certain limited circumstances involving
a potential business combination transaction or an acquisition of shares of the
Company and are exercisable at a price of $32.50 per right, subject to
adjustment. Following certain other events after the rights become exercisable,
each right entitles its holder to purchase for $32.50 an amount of common stock
of the Company, or, in certain circumstances, securities of the acquiror, having
a then-current market value of twice the exercise price of the right. The rights
are redeemable and may be amended at the Company's option before they become
exercisable. Until a right is exercised, the holder of a right has no rights as
a stockholder of the Company. The rights expire on July 23, 2000.

the years ending December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively). An assumed

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors
of Robert Half International Inc.:
 
    We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
position of Robert Half International Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Robert Half International
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
