                 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                               (In thousands)
                                (Unaudited)


1. Accounting Policies
   --------------------

   The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by The Olsten
   Corporation (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of
   the Securities and Exchange Commission and, in the opinion of
   management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
   of results of operations, financial position and cash flows for each
   period presented.

2. Merger with Lifetime Corporation ("Lifetime")
   ---------------------------------------------

   On July 30, 1993, Lifetime merged into the Company.  The merger was
   accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the
   consolidated financial statements of the Company were restated for all
   periods prior to the merger to combine the accounts and operations of
   the Company and Lifetime.

3. Long-Term Debt
   ---------------

   On April 12, 1994, the Company called for redemption all $14 million of
   its 11.2% convertible senior subordinated notes, representing the last
   of the high coupon debt assumed in the Lifetime merger.  At the option
   of the note holders, all $14 million has been converted into 636,109
   shares of Class B common stock.  

   In April 1994 and June 1994, the Company paid down $9 million and 
   $11 million, respectively, of outstanding debt under its revolving credit
   agreement. 
   
   Interest expense, net, consists of interest on long-term debt for the
   quarter of $2.3 million in 1994 and $6.0 million in 1993 offset by
   interest income from investments of $145,000 and $1.1 million,
   respectively.  Interest expense, net, for the six months was $4.8 million
   reduced by interest income of $531,000 in 1994 and $10.6 million reduced by
   interest income of $1.5 million in 1993.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
        -----------------------------------------------------------------
         Results of Operations.
        -----------------------

Results of Operations
- - ----------------------

Net income for the second quarter increased 52.1% to $16.4 million, or
$.39 per share, compared to $10.8 million or $.27 per share from the second
quarter of the prior year.  Net income for the first six months of 1994,
was $30.8 million, or $.74 per share, a 45.5% increase over the $21.1 million
or $.53 per share reported in 1993.  The increases over 1993 resulted from
increased revenues in Staffing Services as clients looked to Olsten for
flexible staffing alternatives along with operating efficiencies resulting
from the integration of the Olsten Kimberly QualityCare business.

Revenues increased $24 million or 4.4% to $563 million for the second
quarter and $46.1 million or 4.4% to $1.1 billion for the first six months
of 1994.  Staffing Services reported increased revenues for the second
quarter and the six months of 24% and 23%, respectively, due to an expanding
economy and our strategic role in generating creative staffing solutions for
companies which are realigning their operations to become more globally
competitive and efficient.  As anticipated, revenues for HealthCare Services
were essentially flat as the Company focused on integration activities,
consolidated and closed certain offices, and eliminated unprofitable business.
In addition, the results were impacted by non-recurring revenue adjustments
recorded by Lifetime in 1993 and the sale of non-strategic healthcare
businesses in the fourth quarter of that year.

Costs of services increased $27.3 million, or 7.3%, to $399 million for the
quarter and $49.6 million or 6.9% to $775 million for the six months of 1994
due primarily to the growth in revenues.  As a percentage of revenues, such
expenses increased 1.9% to 71% for the quarter and 1.6% to 70.4% for the six 
months of 1994.  Gross margins as a percentage of revenues decreased to 29.1%
for the quarter from 31% for last year's second quarter and decreased to 29.6%
from 31.2% for last year's six months.  This resulted from the faster rate of
growth of Staffing Services which operates at lower gross margins than
HealthCare Services, the non-recurring revenue adjustments recorded by
Lifetime in 1993, and the sale of selected businesses in the latter
part of that year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $10.1 million, or 7%,
to $133.2 million for the second quarter and $14.8 million or 5.2% to $267.9
million for the six months.  As a percentage of revenues, such expenses
decreased 2.9% to 23.7% for the second quarter and 2.5% to 24.3% for the six
months as a result of the Company's ability to effectively manage operating
costs and the operating efficiencies achieved in the integration of Olsten
Kimberly QualityCare.

Net interest expense was $2.1 million and $5 million for the second quarters
of 1994 and 1993, respectively, and $4.3 million as compared to $9.1 million
for the six month periods in 1994 and 1993, respectively.  This primarily
reflects borrowing costs on long-term debt offset by interest income on
investments.  The decrease resulted from repayment of Lifetime double-digit
coupon debt in the latter half of 1993 and in the second quarter of 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - --------------------------------

Working capital at July 3, 1994, including $56.7 million in cash, was $263.6
million.  The Company has temporarily invested available funds primarily in
short-term, interest-bearing investments.

The Company has revolving credit agreements with six banks for up to $200
million in borrowings and letters of credit.  At July 3, 1994, there were
outstanding borrowings of $11 million and $59 million in standby letters of
credit.  The Company believes that its levels of working capital and
liquidity and its available sources of funds are sufficient to support
present operations and to continue to increase its scope of services.
