                         MANPOWER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
               FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999
                      (IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)


(1) Basis of Presentation

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report
to Shareholders.

The information furnished reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for
the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

(2) Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 1999 consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation.

(3) Acquisitions

During January 2000, the Company acquired Elan Group Limited ("Elan"), a
European specialty IT staffing company with significant operations in the U.K.
and several other countries throughout the world. As of March 31, 2000, the
total consideration paid for Elan was approximately $104.7. In addition, there
is approximately $44.0 in deferred consideration expected to be paid during the
remainder of 2000 and 2001. This transaction was accounted for as a purchase and
the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was
recorded as intangible assets. The March 31, 2000 consolidated financial
statements reflect the preliminary purchase price accounting for this
acquisition.

During the first quarter of 2000, the Company also acquired and invested in
several companies throughout the world. The total consideration paid for such
transactions was $25.7 as of March 31, 2000, the majority of which was recorded
as intangible assets.

(4) Income Taxes

The Company has provided for income taxes for the three month period ended March
31, 2000 at a rate of 35.5%, which is equal to the estimated annual effective
tax rate based on the currently available information. This rate is higher than
the U.S. Federal statutory rate due to foreign tax rate differences and U.S.
state income taxes.

(5) Euro Notes

On March 7, 2000, the Company issued Euro 150.0 in unsecured notes, due March
2005, with an effective interest rate of 6.3%. Net proceeds of $143.1 from the
issuance were used to repay amounts under the Company's unsecured revolving
credit agreement.

These notes, along with other Euro borrowings, provide a hedge of a portion of
the Company's net investment in its European subsidiaries with Euro functional
currencies. As a result, all translation gains or

losses related to these notes are included as a component of Accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss).

(6) Earnings Per Share

The calculations of net earnings per share and net earnings per share - diluted
are as follows:

(7) Retirement Plans

On February 29, 2000, the Company froze all benefits in each of its U.S. defined
benefit pension plans. The Company also offered a voluntary early retirement
package and certain other benefits to eligible employees. These benefits are
expected to be paid from the respective defined benefit pension plans. In
addition, the Company will no longer provide medical and dental benefits under
its U.S. retiree health care plan to newly retired employees who, as of January
1, 2000, were under the age of 45 or had less than five years of service. The
net impact of these plan changes were not material to the consolidated financial
statements.

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

Operating Results - Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

Revenues increased 18.1% to $2,568.3 million for the first quarter of 2000.
Revenues were unfavorably impacted by changes in currency exchange rates during
the first quarter of 2000 due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar, as
compared to the first quarter of 1999, relative to the currencies in most of the
Company's non-U.S. markets. At constant exchange rates, the increase in revenues
would have been 25.8%. Volume, as measured by billable hours of branch
operations, increased 16.7% in the quarter. All of the Company's major markets
experienced revenue increases, as measured in their local currencies, including
the United States (9.3%), France (25.5%) and the United Kingdom (36.3%). The
revenue increase in the United Kingdom was impacted by the Elan acquisition (see
Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Excluding the impact of this
acquisition, the revenue increase in the United Kingdom would have been 14.0% in
local currency. The Company's Other Europe and Other Countries segments reported
constant currency revenue increases of 40.8% and 28.5%, respectively.

Cost of services, which consists of payroll and related expenses of temporary
workers, increased as a percentage of revenues to 82.6% in the first quarter of
2000 from 82.5% in the first quarter of 1999. This fluctuation is primarily due
to continued pricing pressures and changes in business mix.

Selling and administrative expenses increased 15.2% to $395.5 million in the
first quarter of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. As a percent of
revenue, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 15.4% in the first
quarter of 2000 from 15.8% in the first quarter of 1999, due primarily to the
Company's continued cost control efforts. This decrease was realized despite the
Company's continued investments in new or expanding markets and an increase in
France's business tax (taxe professionnelle).

Interest and other expense was $10.8 million in the first quarter of 2000
compared to $4.8 million in the first quarter of 1999. This increase is
primarily due to an increase in interest expense related to the higher borrowing
levels needed to finance the acquisitions made during the first quarter of 2000,
the share repurchase program and the continued investments in new or expanding
markets.

The Company provided for income taxes at 35.5%, which is equal to the estimated
annual effective tax rate based on the currently available information. This
rate is higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate due to foreign tax rate
differences and U.S. state income taxes.

On a diluted basis, net earnings per share was $0.33 in the first quarter of
2000 compared to $0.26 in the first quarter of 1999. The net earnings per share,
on a diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2000 was negatively impacted by
$0.05 due to changes in exchange rates. The diluted weighted average shares
decreased by 3.3% for the first quarter of 2000, as compared to the first
quarter of 1999, due to the Company's share repurchases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities was $82.9 million in the first quarter of
2000 compared to $86.1 million in the first quarter of 1999. This change
reflects the increased earnings in the first quarter of 2000, offset by the
change in working capital requirements between periods. Cash provided by
operating activities before the changes in working capital requirements was
$49.4 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $41.8 million in the
first quarter of 1999 due to the higher earnings level. Cash provided by changes
in working capital requirements was $33.5 million and $44.3 million in the first
quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively.



                                       10
<PAGE>   11

Capital expenditures were $17.4 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to
$21.3 million during the first quarter of 1999. These expenditures were
comprised of purchases of computer equipment, office furniture and other costs
related to office openings and refurbishments.

During January 2000, the Company acquired Elan Group Limited ("Elan"), a
European specialty IT staffing company with significant operations in the U.K.
and several other countries throughout the world. As of March 31, 2000, the
total consideration paid for Elan was approximately $104.7. In addition, there
is approximately $44.0 in deferred consideration expected to be paid during the
remainder of 2000 and 2001.

During the first quarter of 2000, the Company also acquired and invested in
several companies throughout the world. The total consideration paid for such
transactions was $25.7 as of March 31, 2000.

Net cash used to repay borrowings was $10.8 million and $69.0 million in the
first quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company repurchased 274,000
common shares at a cost of $7.8 million during the first quarter of 2000.

Accounts receivable decreased to $1,875.9 million at March 31, 2000 from
$1,897.6 million at December 31, 1999. This decrease is primarily due to the
effect of the change in currency exchange rates during the first quarter of
2000, which negatively impacted the receivable balance by $73.0 million, offset
by the growth in many of the Company's foreign markets and the impact of recent
acquisitions. In addition, the amount advanced under the Company's U.S.
Receivable Facility was reduced by $30.0 million during the first quarter of
2000.

As of March 31, 2000, the Company had borrowings of $71.7 million and letters of
credit of $59.0 million outstanding under its $415.0 million U.S. revolving
credit facility, and borrowings of $6.1 million outstanding under its U.S.
commercial paper program. The commercial paper borrowings have been classified
as long-term debt due to the availability to refinance them on a long-term basis
under the revolving credit facility.

On March 7, 2000, the Company issued Euro 150.0 million in unsecured notes, due
March 2005, with an effective interest rate of 6.3%. Net proceeds of $143.1
million from the issuance were used to repay amounts under the Company's U.S.
revolving credit facility.

The Company and some of its foreign subsidiaries maintain separate lines of
credit with foreign financial institutions to meet short-term working capital
needs. As of March 31, 2000, such lines totaled $168.5 million, of which $115.7
million was unused.

In April, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per
share which is payable on June 14, 2000 to shareholders of record on June 2,
2000.

The Euro

On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European Union
(the "participating countries") established fixed conversion rates between their
existing sovereign currencies (the "legacy currencies") and the Euro and have
agreed to adopt the Euro as their common legal currency. The legacy currencies
will remain legal tender in the participating countries as denominations of the
Euro between January 1, 1999 and January 1, 2002 (the "transition period").
During the transition period, public and private parties may pay for goods and
services using either the Euro or the participating country's legacy currency.
Beginning on January 1, 2002, Euro-denominated bills and coins will be issued
and legacy currencies will be withdrawn from circulation.

The Company has significant operations in many of the participating countries
and is currently assessing the impact of the Euro on its business operations.
Since the Company's labor costs and prices are



                                       11
<PAGE>   12

generally determined on a local basis, the near-term impact of the Euro is
expected to be primarily related to making internal information systems
modifications to meet customer invoicing and external reporting requirements.
Such modifications relate to converting currency values and to operating in a
dual currency environment during the transition period. Modifications of
internal information systems will occur throughout the transition period and
will be coordinated with other system-related upgrades and enhancements.

On a long-term basis, the Company believes that the introduction of the Euro may
cause a greater level of price harmonization between participating countries,
notwithstanding certain country-specific costs. In addition, the Company expects
to begin paying permanent employees and temporary workers in the participating
countries in Euro during 2001.

The Company will account for all such system modification costs in accordance
with its existing policy and does not expect such costs to be material to the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

Item 5 - Other Information

         The Company's proxy statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
         held on April 17, 2000 incorrectly stated that Newton Minow failed to
         file a required Form 5 to report a gift of approximately 16 shares of
         the Company's common stock in 1999. Mr. Minow did not make such a gift
         during 1999, and therefore Mr. Minow was not required to file a Form 5
         to report such a transaction.

         On March 7, 2000, the Company issued Euro 150.0 million in unsecured
         notes ("Notes") with an effective interest rate of 6.3%, due in March
         2005. The Notes were offered outside the United States in reliance on
         Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, through a
         group of underwriters led by Goldman Sachs International. The Company
         applied to list the Notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
