                  The Olsten Corporation and Subsidiaries
                 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, the Company paid down
   $9 million of outstanding debt under its revolving credit agreement. 
   These items are reflected in current liabilities.

   Interest expense, net consists of interest on long-term debt for the
   quarter of $2.5 million in 1994 and $4.6 million in 1993 offset by
   interest income from investments of $386,000 and $379,000,
   respectively.

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


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

Net income for the first quarter increased 39% to $14.3 million, or $.35
per share, compared to $10.3 million or $.26 per share.  The increases over
1993 resulted from increased revenues in Staffing Services as clients look
to Olsten for flexible staffing alternatives along with the integration of
the Olsten Kimberly QualityCare business which resulted in operating
efficiencies.

Revenues for the first quarter were $537 million, as compared to $515
million for last year's first quarter.  Staffing Services reported
increased revenues of 20% which resulted from a gain in hourly volume and
increased bill rates.  As anticipated, revenues for HealthCare Services
were essentially flat as the Company focused on integration activities,
consolidated and closed certain offices, eliminated non-profitable business
and was impacted by non-recurring revenue adjustments recorded by Lifetime
in 1993.  Also, the sale of non-strategic health care businesses in the
fourth quarter of 1993 affected revenue comparisons.

Costs of services increased $22 million, or 6%, to $376 million for the
quarter due primarily to the growth in revenues.  As a percentage of
revenues, such expenses increased 1.3% to 70% for the quarter.  Gross
margins as a percentage of revenues decreased to 30.1% for the quarter from
31.5% for last year's first quarter as a result of the faster rate of
growth of Staffing Services which operates at lower gross margins than
HealthCare Services and the non-recurring revenue adjustments recorded by
Lifetime in 1993.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter
decreased $4.7 million, or 3%, to $134.7 million.  As a percentage of
revenues, such expenses decreased 2% to 25% for the quarter 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 $2.2 million and $4.2 million for the first
quarter of 1994 and 1993, respectively, and 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.

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

Working capital at April 3, 1994, including $34.4 million in cash, was $245
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 April 3, 1994, there were
outstanding borrowings of $31 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.
