                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                                 MARCH 31, 1997
 
                                  (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.
All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the 1996 financial statements to conform to
the 1997 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 months ended March 31, 1997, and 1996 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, 1996.
 
    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 March 31, 1997.
 
    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.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
                                 MARCH 31, 1997
 
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
    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.
 
    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.
 
NOTE B--NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
    In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), Earnings Per Share. SFAS No. 128
requires the disclosure of basic earnings per share and modifies existing
guidance for computing fully diluted earnings per share. Under the new standard,
basic earnings per share is computed as earnings divided by weighted average
shares, excluding the dilutive effects of stock options and other potentially
dilutive securities. The effective date of SFAS No. 128 is December 15, 1997 and
early adoption is not permitted. The Company intends to adopt SFAS No. 128
during the quarter and year ended December 31, 1997. The Company does not expect
this pronouncement to have a material impact on Earnings Per Share.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS
 
    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR EACH OF THE THREE MONTHS MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996.
 
    Temporary services revenues were $261 million and $180 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, increasing by 45% during the
three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. Permanent
placement revenues were $22 million and $16 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, increasing by 38% during the three months
ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. 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 the company acquired during the
three months ended March 31, 1997 were not material.
 
    The Company currently has more than 200 offices in 38 states and five
foreign countries. Domestic operations represent 91% and 90% of revenues for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Foreign operations
represent 9% and 10% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively.
 
    Gross margin dollars from the Company's temporary services represent
revenues less direct cost 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 $90 million and $61 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively, increasing by 48% in 1997. Gross margin amounts equaled 34%
of revenues for temporary services for both the three months ended March 31,
1997 and 1996, 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 $22 million and $16 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, increasing by 38%
for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
 
    Selling, general and administrative expenses were $78 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 compared to $53 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues were 27% for both for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.
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 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 March 31, 1997. Intangible
assets represented 39% of total assets and 53% of total stockholders' equity at
March 31, 1997.
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
    Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was
$949,000 and $544,000, respectively. Interest expense for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 was $200,000 and $156,000, 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 months ended March 31,
1997 and 1996 was 41% of income before taxes.
 
    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    The change in the Company's liquidity during the three months ended March
31, 1997 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 three months ended March 31,
1997, the Company generated $20 million from operations, used $13 million in
investing activities and generated $948,000 in financing activities.
 
    The Company's working capital at March 31, 1997 included $87.6 million in
cash and cash equivalents. In addition at March 31, 1997, the Company had
available $62.7 million of its $67.5 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 March 31, 1997, the Company had no material capital commitments.
The Company's revolving bank line has scheduled reductions in availability
through 2001 when the agreement terminates.
 
    The Company has 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.
 
    In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings Per Share. SFAS No. 128
requires the disclosure of basic earnings per share and modifies existing
guidance for computing fully diluted earnings per share. Under the new standard,
basic earnings per share is computed as earnings divided by weighted average
shares, excluding the dilutive effects of stock options and other potentially
dilutive securities. The effective date of SFAS No. 128 is December 15, 1997 and
early adoption is not permitted. The Company intends to adopt SFAS No. 128
during the quarter and year ended December 31, 1997 and does not expect this
pronouncement to have a material impact on Earnings Per Share.
