NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Kelly Services, Inc. (the “Company,” “Kelly,” “we” or “us”) have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. All adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, have been made which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2012, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 16, 2012 (the 2011 consolidated financial statements). The Company’s second fiscal quarter ended on July 1, 2012 (2012) and July 3, 2011 (2011), each of which contained 13 weeks. The corresponding 2012 and 2011 year-to-date periods each contained 26 weeks.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Effective with the first quarter of 2012, certain vendor management and other technology costs which were previously included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses are now included in cost of services, and the prior year’s results were revised to conform to this presentation. The only effect of this change was to increase cost of services and decrease SG&A expenses (and gross profit) by $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $5.0 million in the first six months of 2011 from those amounts previously reported in 2011.

Earnings from discontinued operations represent adjustments to costs of litigation, net of tax, retained from the 2007 sale of the Kelly Home Care business unit.

2. Fair Value Measurements

Trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, accrued payroll and related taxes and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following tables present assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of second quarter-end 2012 and year-end 2011 on the consolidated balance sheet by fair value hierarchy level, as described below.

Level 1 measurements consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 measurements include quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 measurements include significant unobservable inputs.

Money market funds as of second quarter-end 2012 and as of year-end 2011 represent investments in money market accounts, all of which are restricted as to use and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The valuations were based on quoted market prices of those accounts as of the respective period end.

Available-for-sale investment represents the Company’s investment in Temp Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Temp Holdings”), a leading integrated human resources company in Japan, and is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The valuation is based on the quoted market price of Temp Holdings stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange as of the period end. The unrealized gain of $7.3 million for the 13 weeks ended 2012 and unrealized gain of $0.1 million for the 13 weeks ended 2011 was recorded in other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. The unrealized gain of $10.3 million for the 26 weeks ended 2012 and unrealized loss of $0.5 million for the 26 weeks ended 2011 was recorded in other comprehensive income.

3. Acquisition

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company acquired the stock of Tradição Planejamento e Tecnologia de Serviços S.A. and Tradição Tecnologia e Serviços Ltda. (collectively, “Tradição”), a national service provider in Brazil, for $6.6 million in cash. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation at the time of purchase, along with measurement period adjustments recognized during the 26 weeks ended 2012. The purchase price allocation is still preliminary, subject to further information relating to liabilities assumed.

The acquisition adjustments relate to an increase in Tradição’s estimated identified intangibles balance, acquired contingency reserves and tax liabilities assumed.

4. Restructuring

Restructuring costs incurred in the second quarter and first six months of 2012 amounted to a credit of $2.2 million. Restructuring costs incurred in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 amounted to a credit of $0.6 million and expense of $3.4 million, respectively. These costs primarily related to adjustments to estimated lease termination costs for EMEA Commercial branches that closed in prior years, and were reported as a component of SG&A expenses. Total costs incurred since July 2008 for our restructuring efforts amounted to $44.2 million.

A summary of the balance sheet accrual related to the global restructuring costs follows (in millions of dollars):

Balance at beginning of year	$	4.5

Reductions for cash payments		(0.2	)

Balance at first quarter-end 2012		4.3

Amounts charged (credited) to operations		(2.2	)
Reductions for cash payments		(0.6	)

Balance at second quarter-end 2012	$	1.5

The remaining balance of $1.5 million as of the 2012 second quarter end represents primarily future lease payments and is expected to be paid by 2016. On a quarterly basis, the Company reassesses the accrual associated with restructuring costs and adjusts it as necessary.

7. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted an amendment and restatement of the Kelly Services, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) effective December 31, 2011, which was approved by the Company stockholders in May 2012. Under the Plan, the Company may grant stock options (both incentive and nonqualified), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance awards to key employees utilizing the Company’s Class A stock. The Plan provides that the maximum number of shares available for grants is 10 percent of the outstanding Class A stock, adjusted for Plan activity over the preceding five years. The Company issues shares out of treasury stock to satisfy stock-based awards. The Company has no intent to repurchase additional shares for the purpose of satisfying stock-based awards.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock awards and units (collectively, "restricted stock"), which typically vest over a period of 3 to 5 years, are issued to certain key employees and are subject to forfeiture until the end of an established restriction period. The Company utilizes the market price on the date of grant as the fair market value of restricted stock and expenses the fair value on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

A summary of the status of nonvested restricted stock under the Plan as of the 13 and 26 weeks ended 2012 and changes during these periods is presented as follows:

	Restricted Stock			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at year-end 2011		907,990		$	17.41

9. Other Comprehensive Income

Taxes allocated to components of other comprehensive income for the 13 and 26 weeks ended 2012 and 2011 were immaterial.

10. Contingencies

The Company is continuously engaged in litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business, typically matters alleging employment discrimination, alleging wage and hour violations or enforcing the restrictive covenants in the Company’s employment agreements. There is no expectation that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. However, litigation is always subject to inherent uncertainty and the Company is not able to reasonably predict if any matter will be resolved in a manner that is materially adverse to the Company.

11. Segment Disclosures

The Company’s segments are based on the organizational structure for which financial results are regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to determine resource allocation and assess performance. The Company’s seven reporting segments are: (1) Americas Commercial, (2) Americas Professional and Technical (“Americas PT”), (3) Europe, Middle East and Africa Commercial (“EMEA Commercial”), (4) Europe, Middle East and Africa Professional and Technical (“EMEA PT”), (5) Asia Pacific Commercial (“APAC Commercial”), (6) Asia Pacific Professional and Technical (“APAC PT”) and (7) Outsourcing and Consulting Group (“OCG”).

The Commercial business segments within the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions represent traditional office services, contact-center staffing, marketing, electronic assembly, light industrial and, in the Americas, substitute teachers. The PT segments encompass a wide range of highly skilled temporary employees, including scientists, financial professionals, attorneys, engineers, IT specialists and healthcare workers. OCG includes recruitment process outsourcing (“RPO”), contingent workforce outsourcing (“CWO”), business process outsourcing (“BPO”), payroll process outsourcing (“PPO”), executive placement and career transition/outplacement services. Corporate expenses that directly support the operating units have been allocated to the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions and OCG based on a work effort, volume or, in the absence of a readily available measurement process, proportionately based on revenue from services.

The following tables present information about the reported revenue from services and gross profit of the Company by segment, along with a reconciliation to consolidated earnings before taxes, for the 13 and 26 weeks ended 2012 and 2011. Asset information by reportable segment is not presented, since the Company does not produce such information internally, nor does it use such data to manage its business. Our segments themselves did not change from prior periods, however, effective with the first quarter of 2012, we changed the manner in which we evaluate and internally report segments, such that our primary measure of segment performance is now gross profit. Historically, our primary measure of segment performance was gross profit less an allocation of SG&A expenses. We revised the prior period’s segment results to conform to the current manner in which we evaluate segment performance.

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

Executive Overview

The second quarter of 2012 brought a deceleration in the U.S. labor market, continued global economic uncertainty with the Eurozone crisis and slowdowns in emerging economies. Most European economies slid further into recession during the first half of 2012, and low business confidence and government austerity measures are constraining hiring in the Eurozone. U.S. employment gains averaged only 75,000 jobs per month in the second quarter, after growing three times as fast in the first quarter, reflecting a more cautious approach to job creation.

Despite these macroeconomic headwinds, Kelly made positive strides in the second quarter:

Total company revenue was flat and fee-based income increased 9% year over year.

Our gross profit rate improved to 16.3%, compared to 15.8% in the second quarter of 2011.

SG&A expenses were relatively flat in comparison to the prior year.

OCG earnings more than doubled, increasing year over year by $2 million.

We remain focused on achieving a competitive return on sales by growing our professional and technical, fee-based and other higher margin offerings, and maintaining our lower cost of service delivery. Though the recovery is slow, we believe demand for our services is increasing. We are committed to responding to customers’ needs for flexible, innovative solutions for managing their workforce – from traditional staffing to professional and technical specialties to outsourcing and consulting programs.

Operating margin (earnings from operations divided by revenue from services) in the above and following tables is a ratio used to measure the Company’s pricing strategy and operating efficiency. Constant currency (“CC”) change amounts in the above and following tables refer to the year-over-year percentage changes resulting from translating 2012 financial data into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates used to translate financial data for 2011. We believe that CC measurements are an important analytical tool to aid in understanding underlying operating trends without distortion due to currency fluctuations.

Total Company revenue for the second quarter of 2012 was down 3% in comparison to the prior year, and down 4% excluding the Company’s acquisition of Tradição in Brazil late last year. CC revenue for the second quarter of 2012 was flat in comparison to the prior year, and down 1% excluding Tradição. This reflected an 11% decrease in hours worked, partially offset by a 10% increase in average bill rates on a CC basis.

Effective with the first quarter of 2012, certain vendor management and other technology costs which were previously included in SG&A expenses are now included in cost of services, and the prior year’s results were revised to conform to this presentation. The effect of this change was to increase cost of services and decrease SG&A expenses (and gross profit) by $3 million in the second quarter of 2011.

Compared to the second quarter of 2011, the gross profit rate improved due to higher fee-based income and an improved temporary gross profit rate in the Americas and APAC regions. Fee-based income, which is included in revenue from services, has a significant impact on gross profit rates. There are very low direct costs of services associated with fee-based income. Therefore, increases or decreases in fee-based income can have a disproportionate impact on gross profit rates.

SG&A expenses excluding restructuring costs were flat in comparison to the prior year. Restructuring costs related primarily to revisions of the estimated lease termination costs for previously closed EMEA Commercial branches.

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2012 was $8 million (35.5%), compared to $1 million (3.3%) for the second quarter of 2011. The increase in 2012 tax expense is primarily due to reduced tax credits. The 2011 expense included the favorable impact of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (“HIRE”) Act retention credits, which were available only in 2011, and work opportunity credits. In 2012, work opportunity credits are available only for employees hired in prior years and certain U.S. veterans, due to expiration of the program at the end of 2011. While the work opportunity credit program has expired and been retroactively reinstated many times in the past, extension of this program is uncertain.

Diluted earnings from continuing operations per share for the second quarter of 2012 were $0.40, as compared to $0.53 for the second quarter of 2011.

Loss from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2011 represented adjustments to the estimated costs of litigation, net of tax, retained from the 2007 sale of the Kelly Home Care business unit.

On an organic basis, excluding the Tradição acquisition, CC revenue increased by 1%. This increase represents a 5% increase in average bill rates on a CC basis, partially offset by a 4% decrease in hours worked. On a CC basis, the PT segment grew by 6%, while the Commercial segment, excluding Tradição, declined 2%. Americas represented 68% of total Company revenue in the second quarter of 2012 and 65% in the second quarter of 2011.

The change in the gross profit rate was primarily due to lower payroll taxes and higher fee-based income in both the Commercial and PT segments. On an organic basis, Americas SG&A expenses were flat in comparison to last year, reflecting careful management of expenses throughout the region.

The change in EMEA revenue from services reflected a 13% decrease in hours worked, due to the unfavorable economic environment, partially offset by a 6% increase in average bill rates on a CC basis. The increase in average bill rates is due to a change in country mix. On a CC basis, the Commercial segment declined 9% and the PT segment was flat. EMEA represented 19% of total Company revenue in the second quarter of 2012 and 22% in the second quarter of 2011.

The EMEA gross profit rate decreased due to margin erosion in the Commercial segment. The decrease in SG&A expenses excluding restructuring charges was primarily due to decreases in variable costs in the Commercial segment in line with the level of activity, coupled with the lower costs resulting from the restructuring last year in the UK operations, partially offset by some targeted investments in the PT segment.

The change in total APAC revenue represents a 37% decrease in hours worked and a decrease in fee-based income, partially offset by a 38% increase in average bill rates on a CC basis. The Company has exited a number of low-margin customers in Australia and India, resulting in the significant increase in average bill rates and significant decrease in hours worked. APAC revenue represented 7% of total Company revenue in the second quarter of 2012 and 8% in the second quarter of 2011.

The change in the APAC gross profit rate also reflects the decision to exit low-margin Commercial customers in Australia and India. Fee-based income was down due to slower conversions from more developed countries such as Singapore and Malaysia, partially offset by growth in China. The change in SG&A expenses was due to careful management of expenses.

Revenue from services in the OCG segment for the second quarter of 2012 increased in the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions, due primarily to growth in our BPO, PPO, RPO and CWO practices. This growth is due to both new programs in these practice areas as well as the continued expansion of existing programs. OCG revenue represented 7% of total Company revenue in the second quarter of 2012 and 5% in the second quarter of 2011.

The OCG gross profit rate increased primarily due to mix as volume increased in the higher margin RPO and CWO practice areas. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily the result of support costs associated with new customer programs, as well as increased volumes on existing programs in our BPO and CWO practice areas.

Total Company revenue for the first six months of 2012 was flat in comparison to the prior year, and declined 2% excluding the Company’s acquisition of Tradição. On a CC basis, total Company revenue was up slightly and down slightly, excluding the Company’s acquisition of Tradição. This reflected a 9% decrease in hours worked, partially offset by an 8% increase in average bill rates on a CC basis.

Compared to the first six months of 2011, the gross profit rate improved due to higher fee-based income and an improved temporary gross profit rate. The improvement in the temporary gross profit rate was due to lower benefit and workers’ compensation costs. We regularly update our estimates of open workers’ compensation claims. As a result, we reduced our estimated costs of prior year workers’ compensation by $4 million for the first six months of 2012. This compares to an adjustment reducing prior year workers’ compensation claims by $2 million for the first six months of 2011.

SG&A expenses excluding restructuring increased slightly year over year due primarily to the Brazil acquisition. Restructuring costs related primarily to revisions of the estimated lease termination costs for previously closed EMEA Commercial branches.

Income tax expense for the first six months of 2012 was $13 million (35.2%), compared to $1 million (3.4%) for the first six months of 2011. The 2011 expense included the favorable impact of the HIRE Act retention credits, which were available only in 2011, and work opportunity credits. In 2012, work opportunity credits are available only for employees hired in prior years and certain U.S. veterans, due to expiration of the program at the end of 2011. While the work opportunity credit program has expired and been retroactively reinstated many times in the past, extension of this program is uncertain.

Diluted earnings from continuing operations per share for the first six months of 2012 were $0.64, as compared to $0.56 for the first six months of 2011.

Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations for the first six months of 2012 and 2011 represent adjustments to the estimated costs of litigation, net of tax, retained from the 2007 sale of the Kelly Home Care business unit.

APAC revenue represented 7% of total Company revenue in the first six months of 2012 and 8% in the first six months of 2011.

The change in the APAC gross profit rate also reflects the decision to exit low-margin Commercial customers in Australia and India. Fee-based income was slightly down due to slower conversions from more developed countries such as Singapore and Malaysia, partially offset by growth in China.

Revenue from services in the OCG segment for the first six months of 2012 increased in the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions, due primarily to growth in our BPO, PPO, RPO and CWO practices. This growth is due to both new programs in these practice areas as well as the continued expansion of existing programs. OCG revenue represented 7% of total Company revenue in the first six months of 2012 and 5% in the first six months of 2011.

The OCG gross profit rate increased primarily due to improved mix, as volume increased in the higher margin BPO, RPO and CWO practice areas. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily the result of support costs associated with new customer programs, as well as increased volumes on existing programs in our BPO and CWO practice areas.

Financial Condition

Historically, we have financed our operations through cash generated by operating activities and access to credit markets. Our working capital requirements are primarily generated from temporary employee payroll and customer accounts receivable. Since receipts from customers generally lag payroll to temporary employees, working capital requirements increase substantially in periods of growth. Conversely, when economic activity slows, working capital requirements may substantially decrease. As highlighted in the consolidated statements of cash flows, our liquidity and available capital resources are impacted by four key components: cash and equivalents, operating activities, investing activities and financing activities.

Cash and Equivalents

Cash and equivalents totaled $65 million at the end of the second quarter of 2012 and $81 million at year-end 2011. As further described below, we generated $6 million in cash from operating activities, used $10 million of cash for investing activities and used $12 million of cash for financing activities.

Operating Activities

In the first six months of 2012, we generated $6 million in cash from operating activities, as compared to using $7 million in the six months of 2011. The increase in cash generated was due to improved operating results in 2012, combined with slowing year-to-date growth in trade accounts receivable.

Trade accounts receivable totaled $985 million at the end of the first six months of 2012. Global days sales outstanding were 53 days at the end of the first six months of 2012, compared to 52 days at the end of the first six months of 2011.

Our working capital position was $443 million at the end of the first six months of 2012, an increase of $26 million from year-end 2011. The current ratio was 1.6 at the end of the first six months of 2012 and 2011.

Investing Activities

In the first six months of 2012, we used $10 million of cash for investing activities, compared to $5 million in the first six months of 2011. Capital expenditures in both years relate primarily to the Company’s information technology programs, including costs for the implementation of the PeopleSoft payroll, billing and accounts receivable project.

Financing Activities

In the first six months of 2012, we used $12 million of cash for financing activities, compared to generating $8 million in the first six months of 2011. Debt totaled $89 million at the end of the second quarter of 2012 and $96 million at year-end 2011. Debt-to-total capital (total debt reported on the balance sheet divided by total debt plus stockholders’ equity) is a common ratio to measure the relative capital structure and leverage of the Company. Our ratio of debt-to-total capital was 11.1% at the end of the second quarter of 2012 and 12.5% at year-end 2011.

The net change in short-term borrowings in the first six months of 2012 was due to payments on our U.S. and Brazilian revolving credit facilities totaling $12 million, partially offset by additional borrowings of $4 million on our securitization facility. The net change in short-term borrowings in the first six months of 2011 was primarily due to borrowings on our securitization facility of $57 million. During the first six months of 2011, we repaid term debt of $63 million.

During the first six months of 2012, we made dividend payments of $4 million.

New Accounting Pronouncements

None.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and in various states and foreign countries that are subject to audit by various tax authorities. Our accrual for unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties includes approximately $6 million related to uncertain income tax positions which are reasonably possible to reverse within the next twelve months due to income tax audits, settlements and statute expirations.

There are no other material changes in our obligations and commitments to make future payments from those included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed February 16, 2012. We have no material, unrecorded commitments, losses, contingencies or guarantees associated with any related parties or unconsolidated entities.

Liquidity

We expect to meet our ongoing short- and long-term cash requirements principally through cash generated from operations, available cash and equivalents, securitization of customer receivables and committed unused credit facilities. Additional funding sources could include public or private bonds, asset-based lending, additional bank facilities, issuance of equity or other sources.

We utilize intercompany loans, dividends, capital contributions and redemptions to effectively manage our cash on a global basis. We periodically review our foreign subsidiaries’ cash balances and projected cash needs. As part of those reviews, we may identify cash that we feel should be repatriated to optimize the Company’s overall capital structure. At the present time, these reviews have not resulted in any specific plans to repatriate a majority of our international cash balances. We expect much of our international cash will be needed to fund working capital growth in our local operations. The majority of our international cash is concentrated in a cash pooling arrangement (the “Cash Pool”) and is available to fund general corporate needs internationally. The Cash Pool is a set of cash accounts maintained with a single bank that must, as a whole, maintain at least a zero balance; individual accounts may be positive or negative. This allows countries with excess cash to invest and countries with cash needs to utilize the excess cash.

We manage our cash and debt very closely to optimize our capital structure. As our cash balances build, we tend to pay down debt as appropriate. Conversely, when working capital needs grow, we tend to use corporate cash and cash available in the Cash Pool first, and then access our borrowing facilities.

At the 2012 second quarter end, we had $150 million of available capacity on our $150 million revolving credit facility and $6 million of available capacity on our $150 million securitization facility. The securitization facility carried $88 million of short-term borrowings and $56 million of standby letters of credit related to workers’ compensation. Together, the revolving credit and securitization facilities provide the Company with committed funding capacity that may be used for general corporate purposes. While we believe these facilities will cover our working capital needs over the short term, if economic conditions or operating results change significantly, we may need to seek additional sources of funds. As of the 2012 second quarter end, we met the debt covenants related to our revolving credit facility and securitization facility.

We monitor the credit ratings of our major banking partners on a regular basis. We also have regular discussions with them. Based on our reviews and communications, we believe the risk of one or more of our banks not being able to honor commitments is insignificant. We also review the ratings and holdings of our money market funds and other investment vehicles regularly to ensure high credit quality and access to our invested cash.

As of the 2012 second quarter end, we had no holdings of sovereign debt in Italy, Portugal, Ireland, Spain or Greece. Our investment policy requires our international affiliates to contribute any excess cash balances to the Cash Pool. We then manage this as counterparty exposure and distribute the risk among our Cash Pool provider and other banks we may designate from time to time.

As of the 2012 second quarter end, our total exposure to European receivables from our customers was $276 million, which represents 28% of total trade accounts receivable, net. The percentage of trade accounts receivable over 90 days past due for Europe was consistent with our global experience. Net trade accounts receivable for Italy, Portugal and Ireland, specific countries currently experiencing economic volatility, totaled $42 million as of the 2012 second quarter end, and we have not experienced a significant deterioration in these amounts during the second quarter of 2012.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this report are "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements which are predictive in nature, which depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or which include words such as "expects,” "anticipates,” "intends,” “plans,” "believes,” “estimates,” or variations or negatives thereof or by similar or comparable words or phrases. In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance (including future revenues, earnings or growth rates), ongoing business strategies or prospects, and possible future actions by us that may be provided by management, including oral statements or other written materials released to the public, are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions about our company and economic and market factors in the countries in which we do business, among other things. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we have no specific intention to update these statements.

Actual events and results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. The principal important risk factors that could cause our actual performance and future events and actions to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, competitive market pressures including pricing, changing market and economic conditions, our ability to achieve our business strategy, including our ability to successfully expand into new markets and service lines, material changes in demand from or loss of large corporate customers, impairment charges triggered by adverse industry or market developments, unexpected termination of customer contracts, availability of temporary workers with appropriate skills required by customers, liabilities for employment-related claims and losses, including class action lawsuits and collective actions, liability for improper disclosure of sensitive or private employee information, unexpected changes in claim trends on workers’ compensation and benefit plans, our ability to maintain specified financial covenants in our bank facilities, our ability to access credit markets and continued availability of financing for funding working capital, our ability to sustain critical business applications through our key data centers, our ability to effectively implement and manage our information technology programs, our ability to retain the services of our senior management, local management and field personnel, the impact of changes in laws and regulations (including federal, state and international tax laws and the expiration of the U.S. work opportunity credit program), the net financial impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on our business, and risks associated with conducting business in foreign countries, including foreign currency fluctuations. Certain risk factors are discussed more fully under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to foreign currency risk primarily due to our net investment in foreign subsidiaries, which conduct business in their local currencies. We may also utilize local currency-denominated borrowings.

In addition, we are exposed to interest rate risks through our use of the multi-currency line of credit and other borrowings. A hypothetical fluctuation of 10% of market interest rates would not have had a material impact on 2012 second quarter earnings.

Marketable equity investments, representing our investment in Temp Holdings, are stated at fair value and marked to market through stockholders’ equity, net of tax. Impairments in value below historical cost, if any, deemed to be other than temporary, would be expensed in the consolidated statement of earnings. See the Fair Value Measurements footnote in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

We are exposed to market risk as a result of our obligation to pay benefits under our nonqualified deferred compensation plan and our related investments in company-owned variable universal life insurance policies. The obligation to employees increases and decreases based on movements in the equity and debt markets. The investments in mutual funds, as part of the company-owned variable universal life insurance policies, are designed to mitigate, but not eliminate, this risk with offsetting gains and losses.

Overall, our holdings and positions in market risk-sensitive instruments do not subject us to material risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) are effective.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company acquired the stock of Tradição Planejamento e Tecnologia de Serviços S.A. and Tradição Tecnologia e Serviços Ltda. (collectively, “Tradição”). As a result of the acquisition, the Company is in the process of reviewing the internal control structure of Tradição and, if necessary, will make appropriate changes as the Company incorporates its controls and procedures into the acquired business.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
