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 3, 2010, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 18, 2010 (the 2009 consolidated financial statements).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation, including the reclassification of the year-to-date increase in book overdrafts of $17.8 million in 2009 from financing to operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

2. Fair Value Measurements

Trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. As of October 3, 2010 and January 3, 2010, the carrying value of long-term debt approximates the fair value.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following tables present assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 3, 2010 and January 3, 2010 on the consolidated balance sheet by fair value hierarchy level, as described below. The Company carried no liabilities at fair value as of October 3, 2010 and January 3, 2010.

2. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis (continued)

Level 1 measurements consist of 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 October 3, 2010 represent investments in money market accounts, of which $13.8 million is included in cash equivalents and $1.2 million of restricted cash is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Money market funds as of January 3, 2010 represent investments in money market accounts, all of which is restricted cash and is 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 loss of $0.4 million for the quarter ended October 3, 2010 and gain of $1.0 million for the quarter ended September 27, 2009 was recorded in other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. The unrealized gain of $1.3 million for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2010 and $5.0 million for the 39 weeks ended September 27, 2009 was recorded in other comprehensive income.

During the second quarter of 2010, the Company entered into two forward foreign currency exchange contracts to offset the variability in exchange rates on its yen-denominated debt. These contracts, which are included on a net basis in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet, are valued using market exchange rates and are not designated as hedging instruments. Accordingly, gains and losses resulting from recording the foreign exchange contracts at fair value are reported in other expense, net on the consolidated statement of earnings, and amounted to a gain of $0.7 million for the quarter ended October 3, 2010 and a gain of $1.2 million for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2010. At October 3, 2010, the Company had open forward foreign currency exchange contracts, all with expiration dates of less than one year, to buy or sell foreign currencies with a U.S. dollar equivalent of $13.7 million. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as when there is evidence of impairment. In the second quarter of 2010, management assessed the viability of certain incomplete software projects in Europe. Based on the estimated costs to complete, management terminated the projects and recorded an impairment charge of $1.5 million. After the impairment charge, the remaining balance related to these software projects was zero, which represented the fair value at July 4, 2010.

Continuing operating losses in the Company’s OCG reporting unit were deemed to be a triggering event for purposes of assessing goodwill for impairment during the second quarter of 2010. Accordingly, we tested goodwill related to OCG and determined that OCG goodwill was not impaired.

In the first nine months of 2009, we recorded asset impairment charges of $53.1 million, representing goodwill impairment losses related to Americas Commercial, EMEA PT and APAC Commercial, and the impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets in Japan and Europe. The expense was recorded in the asset impairments line on the consolidated statement of earnings.

3. Restructuring

Restructuring costs incurred in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 totaled $2.8 million and $7.2 million, respectively, and primarily relate to severance costs for the corporate headquarters and severance and lease termination costs for branches in the EMEA Commercial and APAC Commercial segments that were in the process of closure at the end of 2009. Restructuring costs in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 totaled $4.6 million and $16.5 million, respectively, and primarily relate to global severance, lease terminations, asset write-offs and other miscellaneous costs incurred in connection with the reduction in the number of permanent employees and the consolidation, sale or closure of branch locations. These costs were reported as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. Total costs incurred since July 2008 for the program amounted to $43.6 million.

A summary of the balance sheet accrual, the majority of which is expected to be paid within the next 12 months, related to the global restructuring costs follows (in millions of dollars):

Balance at beginning of year		$	12.7
Additions charged to operations			4.4
Reductions for cash payments			(8.7	)
Balance at April 4, 2010			8.4
Additions charged to operations			—
Reductions for cash payments			(3.6	)
Balance at July 4, 2010			4.8
Additions charged to operations			2.8
Reductions for cash payments			(0.5	)
Balance at October 3, 2010		$	7.1

4. Earnings Per Share and Sale of Stock

Due to the fact that there were no potentially dilutive share equivalents outstanding during the period and that earnings allocated to participating securities were insignificant, the computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share on common stock are the same for both 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2010 and September 27, 2009. Stock options representing 0.7 million and 0.9 million shares, respectively, for the 13 weeks ended October 3, 2010 and September 27, 2009, and 0.7 million and 0.9 million shares, respectively, for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2010 and September 27, 2009 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share due to their anti-dilutive effect.

On May 11, 2010, the Company sold 1,576,169 shares of Kelly’s Class A common stock to Temp Holdings. The shares were sold in a private transaction at $15.42 per share, which was the average of the closing prices of the Class A common stock for the five days from May 3, 2010 through May 7, 2010, and represented 4.8 percent of the outstanding Class A shares after the completion of the sale. As part of this transaction, Kelly added a representative of Temp Holdings to Kelly’s board of directors.

6. Contingencies

The Company is the subject of two pending class action lawsuits. The two lawsuits, Fuller v. Kelly Services, Inc. and Kelly Home Care Services, Inc., pending in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles, and Sullivan v. Kelly Services, Inc., pending in the U.S. District Court Southern District of California, both involve claims for monetary damages by current and former temporary employees working in the State of California.

The Fuller matter involves claims relating to alleged misclassification of personal attendants as exempt and not entitled to overtime compensation under state law and to alleged technical violations of a state law governing the content of employee pay stubs. On April 30, 2007, the Court in the Fuller case certified both plaintiff classes involved in the suit. In the third quarter of 2008, Kelly was granted a hearing date for its motions related to summary judgment on both certified claims. On March 13, 2009, the Court granted Kelly’s motion for decertification of the classes. Plaintiffs filed a petition for review on April 3, 2009 requesting the decertification ruling be overturned. Plaintiffs’ request was granted on May 17, 2010 and the suit was recertified as a class action. The Sullivan matter relates to claims by temporary workers for compensation while interviewing for assignments. On April 27, 2010, the Court in the Sullivan matter certified the lawsuit as a class action. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses in both lawsuits and will continue to vigorously defend itself during the litigation process.

The Company is also involved in a number of other lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of its business, typically employment discrimination and wage and hour matters. While management does not expect any of these other matters to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and the Company is not at this time able to predict the outcome of these matters. It is reasonably possible that some matters could be decided unfavorably to the Company and, if so, could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. During the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, the Company reassessed its potential exposure from pending litigation and established additional reserves of $3.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

7. 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. Each reportable segment is managed by its own management team and reports to executive management. 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 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, contingent workforce outsourcing, business process outsourcing, executive placement and career transition/outplacement services. Corporate expenses that directly support the operating units have been allocated to the seven segments. Included in Corporate in the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 27, 2009 is $0.5 million and $53.1 million, respectively, related to asset impairment charges.

The following table presents information about the reported revenue from services and earnings from operations of the Company for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2010 and September 27, 2009. 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.

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

Executive Overview

During the third quarter of 2010, the global economy continued to show signs of recovery and labor markets strengthened as demand for temporary staffing improved. In the U.S., since reaching its lowest point in September, 2009, temporary staffing has grown 26%, adding over 450,000 temporary jobs.

For Kelly, positive economic conditions and favorable labor trends resulted in improved third quarter performance highlighted by: increased demand for temporary staffing across all geographic regions; strong growth in light industrial staffing; acceleration in office-clerical staffing; and, improvement in professional and technical staffing. For the third quarter,

•

Revenue was up 22% compared to last year.

•

Year-over-year expenses were down slightly, as we continued to benefit from our 2009 restructuring actions.

•

Our gross profit rate increased 30 basis points compared to the prior year, primarily due to the HIRE Act benefits.

•

Earnings per share totaled $0.26, a marked improvement over last year’s third quarter loss per share of $0.43.

Going forward, we continue our commitment to our three-pronged strategy to increase profitability, deliver customer-focused workforce solutions with an emphasis on PT and OCG offerings, and attract and retain top talent.

Results of Operations
Third Quarter

Revenue from services in the third quarter of 2010 totaled $1.3 billion, an increase of 22.4% from the same period in 2009. This was the result of an increase in hours worked of 26.9%, partially offset by a decrease in average hourly bill rates of 3.1% on a constant currency basis. Fee-based income, which is included in revenue from services, totaled $24.9 million, or 1.9% of total revenue, for the third quarter of 2010, an increase of 20.6% (19.9% on a constant currency basis) as compared to $20.5 million in the third quarter of 2009. On a constant currency basis, revenue for the quarter increased in all business segments.

Compared to the third quarter of 2009, the U.S. dollar was stronger against certain foreign currencies, including the euro and British pound, and weaker against the Australian dollar and Canadian dollar. As a result, on a net basis, our consolidated U.S. dollar translated revenue was only slightly lower than would have otherwise been reported. On a constant currency basis, third quarter revenue increased 22.7% as compared with the prior year. When we use the term “constant currency,” it means that we have translated financial data for 2010 into U.S. dollars using the same foreign

currency exchange rates that we used to translate financial data for 2009. Management believes constant currency measurements are an important analytical tool to aid in understanding underlying operating trends without distortion due to currency fluctuations. The table below summarizes the impact of foreign exchange adjustments on third quarter revenue:

Gross profit of $207.2 million was 24.7% higher than gross profit of $166.2 million for the same period of the prior year. The gross profit rate for the third quarter of 2010 was 16.1%, versus 15.8% for the third quarter of 2009, primarily due to increased gross profit rates in the Americas and EMEA Commercial business segments. Gross profit rates in Americas Commercial and Americas PT increased due to the favorable impact from recent U.S. legislation described below. In EMEA Commercial, the gross profit rate increased as a result of business mix.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses totaled $192.9 million, and decreased year over year by $0.8 million, or 0.4% (0.1% on a constant currency basis), due to a decrease in restructuring costs, partially offset by an increase in incentive compensation. Included in SG&A expenses are pretax charges for restructuring costs of $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2009.

Restructuring charges in the third quarter of 2010 relate to severance costs for the corporate headquarters. Restructuring costs in the third quarter of 2009 related primarily to global severance, lease terminations, asset write-offs and other miscellaneous costs incurred in connection with the reduction in the number of permanent employees and the consolidation, sale or closure of branch locations.

As a result of the above, we reported earnings from operations in the third quarter of 2010 totaling $14.3 million, compared to a loss of $28.0 million reported for the third quarter of 2009.

The Company recorded income tax expense for the third quarter of 2010 at an effective rate of 25.1%, and recorded an income tax benefit for the third quarter of 2009 at an effective rate of 49.9%. The 2010 rate was positively impacted by nontaxable income from the cash surrender value of life insurance policies used to fund the Company’s deferred compensation plan, and by work opportunity credits. The 2009 rate was positively impacted by these items, and by tax benefits associated with worthless stock deductions for tax reporting purposes for certain foreign subsidiaries.

Earnings from continuing operations were $9.6 million in the third quarter of 2010, compared to a loss of $14.8 million in the third quarter of 2009. Included in earnings from continuing operations are restructuring charges, net of tax, of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2009.

Diluted earnings from continuing operations per share for the third quarter of 2010 were $0.26, as compared to a diluted loss of $0.43 for the third quarter of 2009.

The change in Americas Commercial revenue from services reflected an increase in hours worked of 35.5%, partially offset by a decrease in average hourly bill rates of 0.5% on a constant currency basis. Americas Commercial represented 49.3% of total Company revenue in the third quarter of 2010 and 44.6% in the third quarter of 2009.

Recent U.S. legislation, the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (“HIRE”) Act, allows employers to receive tax incentives to hire and retain previously unemployed individuals. The HIRE Act expires at the end of 2010. Accordingly, the increase in the gross profit rate was primarily due to the effect of HIRE ACT benefits, which impacted the gross profit rate by 80 basis points. This was partially offset by an increase in the proportion of lower-margin light industrial business to higher-margin clerical business, as well as higher state unemployment taxes to the extent not recovered through pricing. SG&A expenses increased due to higher performance-based compensation.

Americas PT revenue represented 18.2% of total Company revenue in the third quarter of 2010 and 18.3% in the third quarter of 2009.

The Americas PT gross profit rate increased due to the effect of HIRE Act benefits, which impacted the gross profit rate by 70 basis points, partially offset by higher state unemployment taxes. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to continuing cost-savings initiatives.

The change in revenue from services in EMEA Commercial resulted from a 12.4% increase in hours worked, partially offset by a decrease in average hourly bill rates of 6.7% on a constant currency basis. The decrease in the constant currency average hourly bill rates for EMEA Commercial was due to a change in the mix from countries with higher average bill rates to those with lower average bill rates, such as Russia and Portugal. During 2009, EMEA Commercial completed a significant restructuring within the United Kingdom and exited the staffing business in Spain, Turkey, Ukraine and Finland. Exiting these locations accounted for approximately 2 percentage points of the change in third quarter constant currency revenue for EMEA Commercial. EMEA Commercial revenue represented 17.8% of total Company revenue in the third quarter of 2010 and 21.7% in the third quarter of 2009.

The change in the gross profit rate is due to higher temporary margins as a result of business and customer mix. The decrease in SG&A expenses was the result of the restructuring actions discussed above and other continuing cost-savings initiatives.

The change in revenue from services in EMEA PT resulted from a 10.8% increase in hours worked, partially offset by a 0.5% decrease in average hourly bill rates on a constant currency basis. EMEA PT revenue represented 2.9% of total Company revenue in the third quarter of 2010 and 3.5% in the third quarter of 2009.

The change in the EMEA PT gross profit rate was primarily due to decreases in fee-based income. Fee-based income 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 declined, due to reductions in personnel and other continuing cost-savings initiatives.

The change in revenue from services in APAC Commercial resulted from an increase in hours worked of 22.5%, partially offset by a decrease in average hourly bill rates of 5.9% on a constant currency basis. The decrease in the constant currency average hourly bill rates for APAC Commercial was due to a change in mix from countries with higher average bill rates to those with lower average bill rates, such as India and Malaysia, as well as the decision to exit the staffing market in Japan. APAC Commercial revenue represented 6.9% of total Company revenue in the third quarter of 2010 and 6.8% in the third quarter of 2009.

The decrease in the APAC Commercial gross profit rate was primarily due to a decline in the temporary gross profit rate in Australia as a result of customer mix. The decision to exit the staffing business in Japan impacted third quarter year-over-year constant currency revenue and expense comparisons by approximately 8 percentage points.

The change in revenue from services in APAC PT resulted from an increase in fee-based income and an increase in hours worked of 8.8%, partially offset by a decrease in average hourly bill rates of 16.2% on a constant currency basis. The decrease in the constant currency average hourly bill rates for APAC PT was due to a change in mix from countries with higher average bill rates to those with lower average bill rates, such as India, as well as the decision to exit the staffing market in Japan. APAC PT revenue represented 0.6% of total Company revenue in the third quarter of 2010 and 2009.

The change in the APAC PT gross profit rate was due primarily to increases in fee-based income. SG&A expenses increased, due to hiring of permanent placement recruiters, positioning this segment for future growth.
