MANPOWER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004

(in millions, except share and per share data)

(1) Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

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 we believe 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 our 2004 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.

Stock Compensation Plans

We account for all of our fixed stock option plans and our 1990 Employee Stock Purchase Plan in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation expense related to stock options is reflected in Net Earnings as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on Net Earnings and Net Earnings Per Share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Account Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation,” to stock-based employee compensation.

	3 Months Ended March 31,
	2005			2004
Net earnings, as reported	$	32.2		$	39.6
Less: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value method for all awards, net of related tax effects		(2.2	)		(2.0	)
Pro forma net earnings	$	30.0		$	37.6
Net Earnings Per Share – Basic:
As reported	$	0.36		$	0.46
Pro forma	$	0.34		$	0.44
Net Earnings Per Share – Diluted:
As reported(1)	$	0.35		$	0.43
Pro forma(1)	$	0.33		$	0.41

⁽¹⁾ 2004 amounts have been restated to include the convertible debentures using the “if-converted” method in accordance with EITF 04-8. See note 5 for further information.

(2) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

During December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which revises SFAS 123 and supercedes APB 25. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as expense based on their fair values beginning with the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2005, with early adoption encouraged. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) amended the compliance date to the first annual period beginning after June 15, 2005. The pro-forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 will no longer be an alternative to expense recognition. We will adopt SFAS 123R using the modified-prospective method beginning in the first quarter of 2006.

During December 2004, the FASB issued FSP No. 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (“FSP 109-2”), which provides guidance on the accounting for the potential impact of the repatriation provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Jobs Act”) on enterprises’ income tax expense and deferred tax liability. The Jobs Act, which was signed into law on October 22, 2004, introduces relief on the potential income tax impact of repatriating foreign earnings and certain other provisions. FSP 109-2 states that an enterprise is allowed time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Jobs Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying SFAS 109. Based on our analysis to date, we are not yet in a position to decide on whether, or to what extent, we might repatriate foreign earnings under the provision of the Jobs Act. However, we expect to be in a position to finalize our assessment by June 2005.

(3) Acquisitions

On January 22, 2004, we completed our exchange offer to acquire Right Management Consultants, Inc. (“RMC”), the world’s largest career transition and organizational consulting services firm, operating through over 300 offices in 35 countries. The results of RMC’s operations are included in our consolidated financial statements since that date. The pro forma consolidated results to combine the historical results of our operations and RMC’s operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 to reflect the acquisition as if it had been completed on January 1, 2004 for Revenues, Net Earnings, Net Earnings Per Share and Net Earnings Per Share – Diluted were $3,358.1, $40.4, $0.46 and $0.43, respectively.

In connection with the acquisition of RMC, we established reserves for severances and other office closure costs related to streamlining RMC’s worldwide operations that totaled $24.5. As of March 31, 2005, approximately $12.9 has been paid from these reserves, of which $5.1 was paid in 2005.

(4) Income Taxes

We provided for income taxes during the first quarter of 2005 at a rate of 36.5%, based on our current estimate of the annual effective tax rate of 36.5%. This rate is higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to the impact of higher foreign income tax rates and U.S. taxes on foreign earnings. For the year ended December 31, 2004 we provided for income taxes at a rate of 33.5%, which includes the impact of non-operating gains and the reversal of a tax contingency reserve. Excluding these items, the 2004 effective tax rate would have been 36.0%. The estimated effective tax rate for 2005 is slightly higher than the 2004 rate due to changes in the mix of expected taxable income.

(5) Earnings Per Share

During September 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings Per Share” (“EITF 04-8”), which requires the effect of contingently convertible debt securities with a market price trigger to be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, using the “if-converted” method, regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. EITF 04-8 also requires restatement of previously reported earnings per share. Our unsecured zero-coupon convertible debentures, issued August 17, 2001 and redeemed March 30, 2005, had such a feature, and therefore we have restated our Net Earnings Per Share – Diluted, in accordance with EITF 04-8. Net Earnings Per Share – Diluted, as restated for EITF 04-8 for the three months ending March 31, 2004 was $0.43 per share compared to the $0.45 per share previously reported.

On February 28, 2005, we called our convertible debentures, which resulted in 1,378,670 shares being issued as of March 30, 2005 for those debentures that were converted to shares. The remaining debentures were settled for cash. (See footnote 6 for further information.) The dilutive effect of these debentures is included in our Net Earnings Per Share - Diluted calculation using the “if-converted” method, in accordance with EITF 04-8, for the period January 1, 2005 through March 29, 2005.

The calculations of Net Earnings Per Share and Net Earnings Per Share – Diluted are as follows:

	3 Months Ended March 31,
	2005		2004
Net Earnings Per Share:
Net earnings available to common shareholders	$	32.2	$	39.6
Weighted average common shares outstanding (in millions)		89.8		85.9
	$	0.36	$	0.46
Net Earnings Per Share – Diluted:
Net earnings	$	32.2	$	39.6
Add: Amortization related to convertible debt, net of taxes		1.2		1.2
Net earnings available to common shareholders		33.4		40.8
Weighted average common shares outstanding (in millions)		89.8		85.9
Effect of dilutive securities - stock options (in millions)		1.2		1.9
Effect of convertible debentures (in millions)		5.9		6.1
		96.9		93.9
	$	0.35	$	0.43

The calculation of Net Earnings Per Share – Diluted does not include certain stock option grants because the exercise price for these options is greater than the average market price of the common shares during the period. There were 100,000 and 200,000 of such options excluded from the calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(6) Debt

Our €150.0 notes ($198.4), due March 2005, were retired on March 7, 2005 with available cash. In September 2002, we entered into derivative financial instruments, to swap these notes to floating U.S. LIBOR, which expired concurrently with the notes. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations throughout the contract term on the derivative instruments were recorded in the consolidated statements of operations, offsetting the foreign currency exchange gain or loss recorded on the notes. Cash received from settlement of the foreign currency component of these derivative financial instruments was approximately $50.7 resulting in a net repayment of $147.7 related to the €150.0 notes (reflected in financing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows.) The interest rate swap components of these derivative financial instruments were designated as a fair value hedge, which offset changes in the fair value of the notes that were due to interest rate fluctuations. Changes in the fair values of these interest rate swap components and the notes, throughout the term of the agreements, were reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

On February 28, 2005, we elected to call our Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures due August 17, 2021 (the “Debentures”) at a redemption price of $613.99 per $1,000 of principal amount at maturity of the Debentures. Under the Indenture, the Debentures could be converted at a conversion rate of 13.9559 shares of Manpower common stock per $1,000 of principal amount at maturity of Debentures, at the option of the debenture holders. On March 30, 2005, the Debentures were redeemed, and of the $435.2 principal amount at maturity of Debentures, $336.4 principal amount at maturity was redeemed for an aggregate cash payment of $206.6, and $98.8 principal amount at maturity ($60.6 in accreted value) was converted into 1,378,670 shares of Manpower common stock. These shares were issued from Treasury Stock at the average price per treasury share, which totaled $41.4. The remaining $19.2 was recorded as Capital in Excess of Par Value. The cash payment was financed through borrowings under our U.S. Receivables Facility ($187.0) and our revolving credit agreement ($20.0). The amount borrowed under our U.S. Receivables Facility is classified as Short-Term Borrowings on our consolidated balance sheet.

(7) Retirement Plans

The components of the net periodic benefit cost for our plans are as follows:

	3 Months Ended March 31,
	Defined Benefit Pension Plans						Retiree Health Care Plan
	2005			2004			2005			2004

Amortization of unrecognized loss (gain)		0.8			0.6			(0.1	)		(0.1	)
Total benefit cost	$	4.3		$	3.5		$	0.4		$	0.3

During the first quarter of 2005, $4.7 of contributions have been made to our pension plans and $0.2 of contributions have been made to our retiree health care plan. We continue to expect contributions of $17.9 to our pension plans and $1.2 to our retiree health care plan during 2005.

Subsequent to March 31, 2005, 732,000 additional shares have been repurchased, through April 26, 2005, for a total cost of $29.0.

On April 26, 2005, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $.20 per share, which is payable on June 14, 2005 to shareholders of record on June 3, 2005.

(9) Interest and Other Expense (Income)

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

Operating Results - Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004

Revenues from Services increased 12.7% to $3,758.7 million for the first quarter of 2005 from the same period in 2004. Revenues were favorably impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates during the period due to the weakening of the U.S. Dollar relative to the currencies in most of our non-U.S. markets. In constant currency, revenues increased 8.8%. Excluding dispositions made during 2004, revenues increased 13.1%, or 9.2% on an organic constant currency basis. This growth rate is a result of increased demand for our services in many of our markets, including EMEA, Jefferson Wells and Other Operations, where revenues increased 11.8%, 83.7% and 14.9%, respectively, on a constant currency basis. (See Financial Measures on page 17 for further information on constant currency and organic constant currency.)

Gross Profit increased 10.6% to $682.0 million for the first quarter of 2005. In constant currency, Gross Profit increased 6.9%. Gross Profit Margin was 18.1%, a decrease of 40 basis points (0.4%) from the first quarter of 2004. Dispositions did not impact Gross Profit Margin for the first quarter of 2005 compared to the year earlier period. This decline in Gross Profit Margin is primarily a result of the following (along with the impact of each on consolidated Gross Profit Margin): declines in EMEA (-24 basis points or 0.24%), France (-22 basis points or 0.22%), Jefferson Wells (- 8 basis points or 0.08%) and Japan (-11 basis points or 0.11%) (see separate segment discussion below), partially offset by a change in the mix of services provided (+11 basis points or 0.11%), toward countries with higher Gross Profit Margins, and by a 25.4% increase in permanent placement fees (+19 basis points or 0.19%).

Selling and Administrative Expenses increased 10.6% from the first quarter of 2004, to $619.5 million in the first quarter of 2005. These expenses increased 7.0% in constant currency. This increase is primarily due to investments made in the permanent placement business and in new office openings in France, EMEA and Japan. Dispositions did not have an impact on these expenses. As a percent of revenues, Selling and Administrative Expenses were 16.5% in the first quarter of 2005 compared to 16.8% in the first quarter of 2004. This improvement reflects a combination of cost control efforts and productivity gains as most expense components have increased at a lower rate than revenue growth.

Operating Profit increased 11.2% for the first quarter of 2005 compared to 2004, with an Operating Profit Margin of 1.7% in both periods. On a constant currency basis, Operating Profit increased 6.4%, which reflects the favorable impact of the cost control efforts and productivity gains, offset by the decline in Gross Profit Margin.

Interest and Other Expense (Income) was expense of $11.7 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared to income of $4.0 million for the same period in 2004. Net Interest Expense increased $0.6 million in the quarter to $9.3 million due primarily to our Euro-denominated interest expense being translated into U.S. Dollars at a higher rate in 2005 compared to 2004, as well as increased interest rates. Translation losses in the first quarter of 2005 were $0.8 million compared to $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2004.

Miscellaneous Expenses (Income), Net, which consists of bank fees and other non-operating income and expenses, was expense of $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared to income of $12.8 million in the year earlier period. The income in 2004 includes non-operating gains of $14.2 million ($0.11 per share – diluted), primarily related to the sale of our equity interest in a European internet job board. Net proceeds from this transaction in 2004 were $29.8 million.

We provided for income taxes during the first quarter of 2005 at a rate of 36.5%, based on our current estimate of the annual effective tax rate of 36.5%. This rate is higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to the impact of higher foreign income tax rates and U.S. taxes on foreign earnings. For the year ended December 31, 2004 we provided for income taxes at a rate of 33.5%, which includes the impact of non-operating gains and the reversal of a tax contingency reserve. Excluding these items, the 2004 effective tax rate would have been 36.0%. The estimated effective tax rate for 2005 is slightly higher than the 2004 rate due to changes in the mix of expected taxable income.

Net Earnings Per Share, on a diluted basis, decreased 18.6% to $0.35 in the first quarter of 2005 compared to $0.43 in the first quarter of 2004. The 2004 amount includes $0.11 related to non-operating gains. The higher foreign currency exchange rates positively impacted Net Earnings Per Share – Diluted by approximately $0.01 in the first quarter of 2005 compared to 2004.

During September 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings Per Share” (“EITF 04-8”), which requires the effect of contingently convertible debt securities with a market price trigger to be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, using the “if-converted” method, regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. EITF 04-8 also requires restatement of previously reported earnings per share. Our convertible debentures, issued August 2001, had such a feature, and therefore we have restated Net Earnings Per Share – Diluted for all periods since the issuance.

On February 28, 2005, we called our convertible debentures, which resulted in 1,378,670 shares being issued as of March 30, 2005 for those debentures that were converted to shares. The remaining debentures were settled for cash. (See note 6 for further information.) The dilutive effect of these debentures is included in our Net Earnings Per Share – Diluted calculation using the “if-converted” method, in accordance with EITF 04-8, for the period January 1, 2005 through March 29, 2005.

Segment Operating Results

United States

In the United States, revenues increased 0.3% for the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004, due primarily to higher staffing volume and an increase in our permanent placement business. Revenue increased 2.3% excluding the impact of Transpersonnel, our truck driving operation that was disposed of in July 2004. The year-over-year growth rate in the industrial sector has declined from previous quarters, but the year-over-year variance for the office sector has continued to improve since the first quarter of 2004.

The Gross Profit Margin increased during the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004 primarily due to a better recovery of increased state unemployment taxes through higher bill rates. The increased permanent placement revenue also favorably impacted Gross Profit Margin in 2005 compared to 2004.

Selling and Administrative Expenses were well controlled during the quarter, resulting in a decrease of 0.2% in 2005 compared to 2004.

Operating Unit Profit (“OUP”) Margin in the United States was 1.0% and 0.6% for the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. This improvement is primarily related to the increased gross profit margin.

14

France

In France, revenues increased 9.8% (4.6% in Euro) during the first quarter of 2005 compared to 2004, representing a slight decline from the 4.9% growth (in Euro) reported in the fourth quarter of 2004.

The Gross Profit Margin declined in the first quarter of 2005 compared to 2004 primarily as a result of continued pricing pressures in the French market.

Selling and Administrative Expenses increased during the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter 2004, primarily due to investments made in new offices, and in the permanent placement business, and expenses related to an advertising campaign, during the quarter. Expenses as a percentage of revenue improved in the quarter, despite these investments.

During the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, OUP margin in France was 2.2% and 2.5% respectively. This decrease reflects the decline in Gross Profit Margin levels, partially offset by good expense management.

EMEA

In EMEA, which represents operations throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa (excluding France), revenues increased 16.8% in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004 (an increase of 11.8% on a constant currency basis). Local currency revenue growth was experienced in all major markets, with the highest growth rates reported in Elan, Italy, Spain, and Germany. Permanent placement revenues increased over 30% during the quarter as a result of our investments in this business.

The Gross Profit Margin declined in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004 due to higher social costs in Germany and Norway, higher sick pay expense in Italy and continued pricing pressures throughout the segment.

Selling and Administrative Expenses continue to be well controlled despite investments in new offices and in the permanent placement business during the first quarter of 2005. Expenses as a percentage of revenues improved in the quarter compared to the first quarter of 2004.

OUP Margin for EMEA was 1.1% and 1.2% for the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Gross Profit Margin decline was almost entirely offset by good expense management.

Jefferson Wells

Revenues for Jefferson Wells in the first quarter of 2005 increased 83.7% compared to the first quarter of 2004 due to the increased demand for technology risk management and internal audit and control services (including services assisting companies to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements). Jefferson Wells’ revenues of $92.7 million in the first quarter reflect a decrease from the $102.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. Most of this decline was expected due to the planned completion of a few large projects. Approximately 13% of Jefferson Wells’ revenues for the first quarter of 2005 were generated from providing services to one customer. We do not anticipate a significant change during the coming year, to the current level of these services to this customer, that would have a significant impact on our operating results.

The Gross Profit Margin in the first quarter of 2005 has declined compared to the first quarter of 2004 due to lower utilization of their permanent staff.

15

Selling and Administrative Expenses have been well controlled but have increased 43.4% since the first quarter of 2004 to support the increased revenue level. As a percentage of revenue, expenses have declined compared to the first quarter of 2004. Expense increases are primarily due to variable expenses, such as commissions and broad-based incentive compensation costs associated with the increased volume of business and improved profitability, and an expense related to an employee retention program. Investments in new offices are also being made in the U.S. and foreign markets.

The OUP Margin for Jefferson Wells in the first quarter of 2005 was 8.7% compared to 4.0% in the first quarter of 2004. This increased margin is primarily the result of improved leveraging of the Sales and Administrative Expenses with the significant increase in revenues.

Right

On January 22, 2004, we completed our exchange offer to acquire Right Management Consultants, Inc. (“RMC”), the world’s largest career transition and organizational consulting services firm, operating through over 300 offices in 35 countries. The results of RMC’s operations are included in our consolidated financial statements since that date. We have merged our Empower operations into RMC, and the results of the combined entity are reported as the Right segment.

Revenues for Right in the first quarter of 2005 increased 2.2% compared to the first quarter of 2004 (a decrease of 0.3% on a constant currency basis). This decrease in constant currency is the result of lower demand for the career transition services, as economies in major markets continue to improve, offset by improving demand for Right’s organizational consulting services. Throughout the quarter, we saw stabilization of career transition business and continued improvement in the organizational consulting business.

Gross Profit Margin decreased in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004 as a result of changes in the mix of business between career transition and organizational consulting services.

Sales and Administrative Expenses improved as a percent of revenue for the quarter as Right maintained good expense management in response to the changing revenue levels.

OUP Margin for Right was 9.4% in the first quarter of 2005 compared to 9.0% in the first quarter of 2004. This increased margin is primarily the result of the careful expense management.

Other Operations

Revenues for Other Operations increased 17.6% (14.9% in constant currency) during the first quarter of 2005 compared to 2004. Revenue increases, in local currency, were experienced in virtually all markets in this segment, including Mexico, Australia and Argentina, which experienced revenue growth rates of 19.5%, 9.7%, and 36.9%, respectively.

The Gross Profit Margin decreased in the first quarter of 2005 compared to 2004 primarily due to increased social costs in Japan and lower margins on certain large contracts in Australia.

Selling and Administrative Expenses increased 22.3% in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004 to support increasing revenue levels and as a result of investments in new office openings and permanent placement business in certain markets.

The OUP Margin for Other Operations in the first quarter of 2005 was 2.5% compared to 3.6% for the same period in 2004. This decline is due to the lower gross profit margins coupled with the higher Selling and Administrative Expenses.

Financial Measures - Constant Currency and Organic Constant Currency Reconciliation

Changes in our revenues and operating profits include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions and dispositions. We provide “constant currency” and “organic constant currency” calculations in this quarterly report to remove the impact of these items. We typically express year-over-year variances that are calculated in constant currency and organic constant currency as a percentage.

When we use the term “constant currency,” it means that we have translated financial data for a period into U.S. Dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that we used to translate financial data for the previous period. We believe that this calculation is a useful measure, indicating the actual growth of our operations. We utilize constant currency results in our analysis of subsidiary or segment performance. We also use constant currency when analyzing our performance against that of our competitors. Earnings from our subsidiaries are not generally repatriated to the United States, and we typically do not incur significant gains or losses on foreign currency transactions with our subsidiaries. Therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates primarily impact only reported earnings and not our actual cash flow or economic condition.

When we use the term “organic constant currency,” it means that we have further removed the impact of acquisitions in the current period and dispositions from the prior period from our constant currency calculation. We believe that this calculation is useful because it allows us to show the actual growth of our pre-existing business. The results of companies we acquire or dispose of are included in or excluded from our financial results on and after the date on which the acquisition or disposition is complete. As a result, these types of transactions distort the reported year-over-year trends in our financial results because the results of acquired companies are not included in our prior year results and the results of companies we dispose of are included in prior year but not current year results. Therefore, we believe it is more meaningful to present trend information without the impact of acquisitions and dispositions.

Constant currency and organic constant currency percent variances, along with a reconciliation of these amounts to certain of our reported results, are provided below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities was $86.0 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared to $27.1 million for the first quarter of 2004. This increase is mainly due to changes in our working capital needs, primarily as a result of higher accounts receivable collections. Cash provided by operating activities before changes in working capital requirements was $51.7 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared to $49.3 million in the first quarter of 2004.

Capital expenditures were $19.2 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared to $12.3 million during the first quarter of 2004. These expenditures are primarily comprised of purchases of computer equipment, office furniture and other costs related to office openings and refurbishments.

Accounts receivable decreased to $3,002.4 million as of March 31, 2005 from $3,227.8 million as of December 31, 2004. This decrease is due to seasonal fluctuations, as the revenue levels in the first quarter are typically lower than the fourth quarter. In addition, changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased accounts receivable. At December 31, 2004 exchange rates, the March 31, 2005 balance would have been approximately $100.4 million higher than reported.

Net debt repayments in the first quarter of 2005 were $144.7 million compared to net borrowings of $13.0 million in the first quarter of 2004.

Our €150.0 million notes ($198.4 million), due March 2005, were retired on March 7, 2005, with available cash. In September 2002, we entered into derivative financial instruments to swap these notes to floating U.S. LIBOR, which expired concurrently with the notes. Cash received from settlement of the foreign currency component of these derivative financial instruments was approximately $50.7 million, resulting in a net repayment of $147.7 million related to the €150.0 million notes (reflected in financing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows).

On February 28, 2005, we elected to call our Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures due August 17, 2021 (the “Debentures”) at a redemption price of $613.99 per $1,000 of principal amount at maturity of the Debentures. Under the Indenture, the Debentures could be converted at a conversion rate of 13.9559 shares of Manpower common stock per $1,000 of principal amount at maturity of Debentures, at the option of the debenture holders. On March 30, 2005, the Debentures were redeemed, and of the $435.2 million principal amount at maturity of Debentures, $336.4 million principal amount at maturity was redeemed for an aggregate cash payment of $206.6 million and $98.8 million principal amount at maturity ($60.6 million in accreted value) was converted into 1,378,670 shares of Manpower common stock. These shares were issued from Treasury Stock at the average price per treasury share, which totaled $41.4 million. The remaining $19.2 million was recorded as Capital in Excess of Par Value. The cash payment was financed through borrowings under our U.S. Receivables Facility, ($187.0 million) and our revolving credit agreement ($20.0 million). The amount borrowed under our U.S. Receivables Facility is classified as Short-Term Borrowings on our consolidated balance sheet.

As of March 31, 2005, we had borrowings of $149.6 million and letters of credit of $88.1 million outstanding under our $625.0 million revolving credit agreement, and there were no borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper program.

We had borrowings of $187.0 million outstanding under our U.S. Receivables Facility as of March 31, 2005. This amount is classified as Short-Term Borrowings on our consolidated balance sheet. There were no such borrowings as of December 31, 2004.

We also maintain separate lines of credit with foreign financial institutions to meet the working capital needs of our foreign operations. As of March 31, 2005, such lines totaled $286.3 million, of which $272.4 million was unused.

18

Certain of our debt agreements require, among other things, that we comply with a Debt-to-EBITDA ratio of less than 3.25 to 1 and a fixed charge ratio of greater than 2.00 to 1. As defined in the agreements, we had a Debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 1.26 to 1 and a fixed charge ratio of 2.70 to 1 as of March 31, 2005. Based upon current forecasts, we expect to be in compliance with these covenants throughout 2005.

In October 2004, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 5 million shares of our common stock, not to exceed a total purchase price of $250.0 million. During the first quarter of 2005, we repurchased a total of 1,065,000 shares of common stock at a total cost of $47.2 million under this authorization. There are 3,935,000 shares of common stock remaining available for repurchase under this authorization. (See Item 2 for further information.) Subsequent to March 31, 2005, 732,000 additional shares have been repurchased, through April 26, 2005, for a total cost of $29.0 million.

On April 26, 2005, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $.20 per share, which is payable on June 14, 2005 to shareholders of record on June 3, 2005.

We have aggregate commitments related to debt repayments, operating leases and other commitments of $1,326.5 million as of March 31, 2005 compared to $1,614.2 million as of December 31, 2004. The amount of commitments has decreased from the end of the year due primarily to the repayment of the €150.0 million notes.

We also have entered into guarantee contracts and stand-by letters of credit that total approximately $126.6 million and $115.3 million as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively ($38.5 million and $37.6 million for guarantees, respectively, and $88.1 million and $77.7 million for stand-by letters of credit, respectively). Guarantees primarily relate to bank accounts, operating leases, and indebtedness. The stand-by letters of credit relate to workers’ compensation, operating leases and indebtedness. If certain conditions were met under these arrangements, we would be required to satisfy our obligation in cash. Due to the nature of these arrangements and our historical experience, we do not expect to make any significant payments under these arrangements. Therefore, they have been excluded from our aggregate commitments discussed above.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

During December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which revises SFAS 123 and supercedes APB 25. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as expense based on their fair values beginning with the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2005, with early adoption encouraged. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) amended the compliance date to the first annual period beginning after June 15, 2005. The pro-forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 will no longer be an alternative to expense recognition. We will adopt SFAS 123R using the modified-prospective method beginning in the first quarter of 2006.

During December 2004, the FASB issued FSP No. 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (“FSP 109-2”), which provides guidance on the accounting for the potential impact of the repatriation provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Jobs Act”) on enterprises’ income tax expense and deferred tax liability. The Jobs Act, which was signed into law on October 22, 2004, introduces relief on the potential income tax impact of repatriating foreign earnings and certain other provisions. FSP 109-2 states that an enterprise is allowed time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Jobs Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying SFAS 109. Based on our analysis to date, we are not yet in a position to decide on whether, or to what extent, we might repatriate foreign earnings under the provision of the Jobs Act. However, we expect to be in a position to finalize our assessment by June 2005.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

At our April 26, 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders approved an amendment to the Manpower 1990 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to increase the total number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the plan from 2,250,000 shares to 2,900,000 shares.

Also on April 26, 2005, our shareholders approved the following amendments to the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan of Manpower Inc.:

Addition of Performance Share Units and Restricted Stock Units. As amended and restated, the 2003 plan allows the grant of performance share units and restricted stock units to employees and directors.

Addition of Performance Goal Features. As amended and restated, the 2003 plan provides the flexibility to grant performance-based awards designed to satisfy the requirements for deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Our shareholders approved a number of specified performance goals under the 2003 plan, which qualify certain grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share units granted to our executive officers under the 2003 plan as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m).

Increase in and Amendment of Limits on Restricted Stock and Deferred Stock Awards. Under the 2003 plan, the maximum number of shares which may be issued, subject to adjustment as described below, is 4,500,000 shares of common stock, which we refer to as the plan limit. No amendments have been made to the plan limit. As to certain types of so-called “full-value awards,” the 2003 plan previously limited the number of shares of restricted stock and deferred stock that can be granted under the plan to 200,000 shares, which we refer to as the full-value plan limit, and limited the value of shares that an individual employee is eligible to receive through awards of restricted stock and deferred stock during any three-year period to $4,000,000 (valuing the shares at their market price on the business day immediately preceding the date of grant), which we refer to as the full-value individual limit. As amended and restated, the 2003 plan applies the full-value plan and individual limits to all full-value awards (restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share units and deferred stock) granted under the 2003 plan, and the plan limit is increased by 600,000 shares so that the new full-value plan is limited to 800,000 shares. In addition, under the amended and restated 2003 plan, the full-value individual limit is changed such that the $4,000,000 full-value individual limit no longer applies and the maximum amount of full-value awards (measured in shares or awards representing shares) that can be granted to an individual employee in any one fiscal year is 150,000 shares.

Changes in Share-Counting Provisions. For purposes of determining the maximum number of shares available for issuance, the 2003 plan previously provided that shares which are used in settlement of tax withholding obligations with respect to an award, as well as shares use in full or partial payment of the exercise price of a stock option, would not be treated as having been issued under the 2003 plan. Under the amended and restated 2003 plan, shares exchanged or withheld to pay the exercise price of an option or to satisfy tax withholding obligations are not available for future grant purposes under the plan. In addition, the amended and restated 2003 plan provides that all underlying shares to which the exercise of an SAR relates reduces the number of shares available for issuance under the plan.

The foregoing description of the amendments to the 1990 plan and the 2003 plan is qualified in its entirety by the text of the 1990 plan and the 2003 plan, each as amended and restated effective April 26, 2005, which are incorporated herein by reference to Appendices B and C, respectively, to our Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 26, 2005.
