ROBERT HALF INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1998
(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-, RHI CONSULTING-REGISTERED TRADEMARK- and RHI
MANAGEMENT RESOURCES-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-. The Company, through its
ACCOUNTEMPS, ROBERT HALF and RHI MANAGEMENT RESOURCES divisions, is the world's
largest specialized provider of temporary, full-time, and project professionals
in the fields of accounting and finance. OFFICETEAM specializes in skilled
temporary administrative personnel. RHI CONSULTING provides contract information
technology professionals. RHI MANAGEMENT RESOURCES places senior-level
accounting and financial professionals on longer term, more complex projects
lasting for several months to a year or longer. 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 1997 financial statements to conform to
the 1998 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, 1998, and
1997 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, 1997.
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 employed for the Company's guarantee period, typically
90 days.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Intangible assets primarily consist of the cost of
acquired companies in excess of the fair market value of their net tangible
assets at acquisition date, which 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 existed at June 30,
1998.
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 rates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 1998
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 is 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.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT. Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over
the shorter of the life of the related asset or the life of the lease.
NOTE B--NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income", which defines the concept of "comprehensive
income" and establishes reporting requirements effective for financial
statements beginning in the first quarter of 1998. The adoption of SFAS No. 130
does not affect the Company's earnings, liquidity, or capital resources.
Currently, foreign currency translation adjustments is the only "comprehensive
income" item relevant to the Company. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130 and
"comprehensive income" is presented in the Consolidated Statements of
Stockholders' Equity.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR EACH OF THE THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 1998 AND 1997
Temporary services revenues were $407 million and $288 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, increasing by 41% during the
three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. Temporary
services revenues were $778 million and $549 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, increasing by 42% during the six months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. Permanent placement
revenues were $35 million and $24 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively, increasing by 46% during the three months ended
June 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. Permanent placement revenues
were $65 million and $46 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997, respectively, increasing by 41% during the six months ended June 30, 1998
compared to the same period in 1997. 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.
The Company currently has more than 225 offices in 39 states and five
foreign countries. Domestic operations represented 89% and 90% of revenues for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, and 90% of revenues
for both the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. Foreign operations
represented 11% and 10% of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30,
1998, respectively, and 10% of revenues for both the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997.
Gross margin dollars from the Company's temporary services represent
revenues less direct costs of services, which consist 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 $143 million and $274 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1998, respectively, compared to $100 million and $190 million for the
comparable periods in 1997, increasing by 43% and 44% for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998, respectively. Gross margin amounts equaled 35% of
revenues for temporary services for both the three and six months ended June 30,
1998, compared to 35% of temporary service revenues for both the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997, 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 $35 million
and $65 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively,
compared to $24 million and $46 million for the comparable periods in 1997,
increasing by 46% and 41% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,
respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $124 million and $236
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared
to $86 million and $164 million during the three and six months ended June 30,
1997, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of revenues were 28% in both the three and six months ended June 30, 1998
compared to 28% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. 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 existed at June 30, 1998. Intangible
assets represented 26% of total assets and 35% of total stockholders' equity at
June 30, 1998.

<PAGE>
Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was
$1,828,000 and $1,148,000, respectively, while interest expense for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $310,000 and $211,000, respectively.
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $3,278,000
and $2,097,000, respectively, while interest expense for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $586,000 and $411,000, respectively. The change in
interest income reflects an increase in cash and cash equivalents.
The provision for income taxes was 41% for all periods presented.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The change in the Company's liquidity during the six months ended June 30,
1998 is the net effect of funds generated by operations and the funds used for
capital expenditures and principal payments on outstanding notes payable. For
the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company generated $81.6 million from
operations, used $31.5 million in investing activities and provided $9.8 million
by financing activities.
The Company's working capital at June 30, 1998, included $191.3 million in
cash and cash equivalents. In addition at June 30, 1998, the Company had
available $73.8 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 June 30, 1998, the Company had no material capital
commitments.
In 1997, the Company initiated a number of major system projects to replace
core systems. Management expects these new systems to be in place before Year
2000 and to resolve any major existing Year 2000 issues. The Company expects to
spend in excess of $40 million on these projects.
The Company will adopt SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed for Internal Use," which requires the capitalization of
certain costs related to the development of software for internal use in fiscal
year 1999. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will not have
a material impact on its financial results.
