                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 JUNE 30, 2000

                                  (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-, RHI
MANAGEMENT RESOURCES-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-, THE AFFILIATES-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-
and THE CREATIVE GROUP-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 highly
skilled temporary administrative support personnel. RHI CONSULTING provides
contract information technology professionals. THE AFFILIATES provides
temporary, project, and full-time staffing of attorneys and specialized support
personnel within law firms and corporate legal departments. THE CREATIVE GROUP
provides project staffing in the advertising, marketing, and Web design fields.
Revenues are predominantly from temporary services. The Company operates in the
United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. 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 1999 financial statements to conform to
the 2000 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, 2000, and
1999 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, 1999.

    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,
2000.

                                 JUNE 30, 2000

                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    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.

    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 a component of
comprehensive income within 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--BUSINESS SEGMENTS

    The Company has two reportable segments: temporary and consultant staffing;
and permanent placement staffing. The temporary and consultant staffing segment
provides specialized personnel in the accounting and finance, administrative and
office, information technology, legal, advertising, marketing, and Web design
fields. The permanent placement staffing segment provides full-time personnel in
the accounting, finance, and information technology fields.

    The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
Note A: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company evaluates
performance based on profit or loss from operations before interest expense,
intangible amortization expense, and income taxes.

NOTE C--STOCK SPLIT

a stock dividend. All shares and per share amounts in the financial statements
have been restated to retroactively reflect the two-for-one stock split.

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

    Certain information contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis and in
other parts of this report may be deemed forward-looking statements regarding
events and financial trends that may affect the Company's future operating
results or financial positions. Such statements may be identified by words such
as "estimate", "project", "plan", "intend", "believe", "expect", "anticipate",
or variations or negatives thereof or by similar or comparable words or phrases.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the
statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the
following: changes in general or local economic conditions or in the economic
condition of any industry, the availability of qualified staff employees and
temporary candidates, government regulation of the personnel services industry,
general regulations relating to employers and employees, liability risks
associated with the operation of a personnel services business and competitive
conditions in the personnel services industry. In addition, it should be noted
that, because long-term contracts are not a significant portion of the Company's
business, future results cannot be reliably predicted by considering past trends
or extrapolating past results.

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR EACH OF THE THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE
     30, 2000 AND 1999

    Temporary services revenues were $606 million and $460 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, increasing by 32% during the
three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. Temporary
services revenues were $1,180 million and $910 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, increasing by 30% during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. Permanent placement
revenues were $65 million and $37 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, respectively, increasing by 76% during the three months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. Permanent placement revenues
were $124 million and $72 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, respectively, increasing by 72% during the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to the same period in 1999. Overall revenue increases reflect continued
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 280 offices in 40 states and eight
foreign countries. Domestic operations represented 89% of revenues for both the
three and six months ended June 30, 2000, and 88% of revenues for both the three
and six months ended June 30, 1999. Foreign operations represented 11% of
revenues for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, and 12% revenues
for both the three and six months ended June 30, 1999.

    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 $224 million and $437 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to $167 million and $330 million for the
comparable periods in 1999, increasing by 34% and 32% for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2000, respectively. Gross margin amounts equaled 37% of
revenues for temporary services for both the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000, compared to 36% of temporary service revenues for both the three
and six months ended June 30, 1999, 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
$65 million and $124 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000,
respectively, compared to $37 million and $72 million for the comparable periods
in 1999, increasing by 76% and 72% for the three and six months ended June 30,
2000, respectively.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses were $215 million and
$416 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively,
compared to $149 million and $288 million during the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage

                                       8
<PAGE>
of revenues were 32% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2000,
compared to 30% and 29% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999,
respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of
staff compensation, advertising, depreciation and occupancy costs. The increase
in 2000 relates primarily to various candidate recruitment initiatives, both
online and through traditional means.

    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, 2000. Intangible
assets represented 19% of total assets and 26% of total stockholders' equity at
June 30, 2000.

    Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was
$2,660,000 and $1,604,000, respectively, while interest expense for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $202,000 and $87,000, respectively.
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $4,416,000
and $3,142,000, respectively, while interest expense for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $502,000 and $318,000, respectively. The increase in
interest income is primarily attributable to increased balances in
interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents.

    The provision for income taxes was 38% for both the three and six months
ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to 39% and 40% for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999, respectively. This decrease reflects the impact of
various state tax planning initiatives undertaken during 1999.

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The change in the Company's liquidity during the six months ended June 30,
2000 is the net effect of funds generated by operations and the funds used for
capital expenditures, repurchases of common stock and principal payments on
outstanding notes payable. As of June 30, 2000, the Company has authorized the
repurchase from time to time, of up to 18 million shares of the Company's common
stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, depending on
market conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company
repurchased approximately 867,000 shares of common stock on the open market
bringing the total shares repurchased under the authorization to 12,682,000. All
shares have been restated to retroactively reflect the stock split described in
Note C: Stock Split. Repurchases of the securities have been funded with cash
generated from operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company
generated $115 million from operations, used $29 million in investing activities
and used $9 million in financing activities.

    The Company's working capital at June 30, 2000, included $229 million in
cash and cash equivalents. In addition at June 30, 2000, the Company had
available $75 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, 2000, the Company had no material capital
commitments.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

    The Company's market risk sensitive instruments do not subject the Company
to material market risk exposures.
