                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS






To the Norrell Corporation
401(k) Retirement Savings Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the NORRELL CORPORATION 401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN as of December 31,
1998 and 1997 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements and
the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for purposes
of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the statements of net
assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather
than to present the net assets available for



<PAGE>   5


plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each
fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

The schedule of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1998
does not disclose the number of units of certain of the Plan's investments.
Also, the schedule of reportable transactions does not disclose the number of
transactions for certain investments for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Disclosure of this information is required by the Department of Labor Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.

                               NORRELL CORPORATION

                         401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN


                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES

                           DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997



1.       DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

         The following brief description of the Norrell Corporation 401(k)
         Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general
         information purposes only. Participants should refer to the plan
         agreement for more complete information.

         The Plan is a defined contribution salary deferral and profit-sharing
         plan for the exclusive benefit of eligible employees of Norrell
         Corporation (the "Company"). An employee is eligible to participate on
         the next entry date following the date he/she completes 30 days of
         qualifying service and attains age 18. The entry date is the first day
         of each calendar month during the period in which the Plan remains in
         effect.

         Participants may contribute, via payroll deductions, up to 15% of their
         before-tax compensation, as defined, subject to certain provisions of
         the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), into any one of the seven existing
         investment options or a combination thereof in increments of 1%. The
         participant investment elections may be changed quarterly. For each $1
         of annual compensation deferred up to the first 4% of annual
         compensation, the participant will receive a matching company
         contribution of $.50. All participant and employer matching
         contributions are 100% participant-directed. The Company may, at its
         discretion, make an annual contribution, all of which is invested in
         the Norrell Stock Fund.

         Under the terms of the Plan, participants are eligible for distribution
         of their accounts upon the earlier of death, retirement, disability, or
         termination of employment. Distributions of a participant's deferral
         account, as defined, may also be made for certain defined hardships.

         The Plan provides each participant with an individual account, which
         reflects the participant's interest in the fund resulting from
         contributions, interest, dividends, realized and unrealized gains, and
         other sources of income, less realized and unrealized losses, expenses,
         and other distributions which are attributable to the interest of each
         participant. Contributions attributable to a specific participant are
         recorded to his/her account. The Company's discretionary contributions
         are allocated annually based on the ratio of the participant's annual
         salary to the total annual salaries of all participants who are
         eligible to receive an allocation and are made only to the named stock
         fund. In 1998 and 1997, the Company contributed $0 and $282,143,
         respectively, to the Plan. Income or loss of the individual funds shall
         be allocated to each participant based on the ratio of each


<PAGE>   17

         participant's average account balance to the average total account
         balances of all participants.

         Effective December 31, 1998, the Comtex 401(k) Savings Plan, the W.E.
         Carson Associates, Inc. 401(k) Plan, and the Valley Temporary Services,
         Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan were merged into the Plan. With this
         merger, 60 new funds (Fidelity Retirement Money Market Fund, Fidelity
         Investment Grade Bond Fund, Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund, Fidelity
         Fund, Fidelity Growth and Income Fund, Fidelity Contrafund, Fidelity
         Balanced Fund, Fidelity 401(k) Match Account, Valley Temporary Services
         Funds (16), Carson Growth Funds (30), Carson Growth and Income Funds
         (5), and Carson Money Market Fund) were added to the Plan.

         In addition, the American Technical Resources, Inc. plan and Norrell
         Technical Services, Inc. plan were merged with the Plan effective
         December 31, 1997. During 1998, the existing funds in these plans (the
         Pegasus Stable Asset Income, the Pegasus Intermediate Bond, the Pegasus
         Equity Index, the Pegasus Mid Capital Opportunity, the Cash Management,
         the American Century Growth Fund of America, the American Century New
         Economy, the American Century Income Fund of America, the American
         Century New Perspective, the American Century Small Capital World, the
         American Century Washington Mutual, and the American Century Bond Fund
         of America Funds) were liquidated, and the participants' balances in
         those funds were allocated to existing funds in the Plan based on
         common levels of risk.

                  common stocks.

                  CARSON GROWTH AND INCOME FUNDS

                  These funds consist of five individual funds that seek current
                  income and capital appreciation primarily through investments
                  in equity and debt securities.

                  CARSON MONEY MARKET FUND

                  This fund invests in high-quality money market instruments.

                  NORRELL STOCK FUND

                  This fund invests solely in the Company's common stock. This
                  fund seeks long-term appreciation based on increases in value
                  of the Norrell Corporation stock.

         Participants are fully vested in any contributions they make and vest
         in company contributions after two years of qualifying service.
         Forfeitures on nonvested company contributions are offset against the
         company contribution.

         Although the Company intends for the Plan to be permanent, the Company
         may terminate it at any time. In the event of plan termination,
         participants become 100% vested in their balances.


2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

         The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the
         accrual basis of accounting. The preparation of financial statements in
         conformity with generally accepted



                                      -5-
<PAGE>   21

         accounting principles requires the Plan's management to use estimates
         and assumptions that affect the accompanying financial statements and
         disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

         VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

         The value for the Plan's investments in the registered investment
         companies is determined by the trustee based on the quoted market unit
         value for each fund, which, in turn, is based on the market value of
         the investments' underlying assets.

         Investment in company common stock as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 is
         stated at market value as determined by the trade price on the New York
         Stock Exchange.

         American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of
         Position ("SOP") No. 94-4, "Reporting of Investment Contracts Held by
         Health and Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Pension
         Plans," requires fair value reporting of investment contracts that are
         not fully benefit-responsive. The pooled separate account of the Plan
         was previously reported at contract value. The Plan has adopted this
         SOP effective January 1, 1996, and because the Plan's pooled separate
         account is not fully responsive, it is required to be reported at fair
         value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows at a
         market interest rate for investments with similar characteristics.

         ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         The Company pays all administrative expenses of the Plan.

         RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the
         current year presentation.

5.       TAX STATUS

         The Plan obtained its latest determination letter dated August 12, 1997
         in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as amended
         and restated, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
         IRC; however, the Plan was amended effective December 31, 1998 and
         1997. Management believes that the Plan is designed and was being
         operated in accordance with applicable provisions of the IRC as of
         December 31, 1998 and 1997.


6.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On March 24, 1999, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
         Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Interim Services, Inc.
         ("Interim"). The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of the
         Company with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Interim. Pursuant to
         the terms of the Merger Agreement, the shareholders of the Company will
         receive 0.9 share of Interim common stock for each Norrell Corporation
         common



                                      -7-

         share. Therefore, all Norrell Corporation common stock held in the Plan
         will become Interim common stock. The transaction is expected to close
         in July 1999.

                  Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure, the cost presented
                  should be the historic cost of the assets. However, the
                  investment company is unable to provide historical cost
                  information on certain investments to the trustee due to the

                  been intentionally omitted.
