PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
(a) General Development of Business. Registrant, a successor to the
business established by William R. Kelly in 1946, was incorporated under the
laws of Delaware on August 27, 1952. Throughout its existence, registrant has
been engaged in the temporary help service business. During the last fiscal
year, registrant continued to provide temporary help services and other
staffing and human resources services to a diversified group of customers.
(b) Financial Information about Industry Segments. Registrant operates
in a single industry segment of providing temporary help services. The
financial information concerning registrant is included in Item 8 in Part II
of this filing.
(c) Narrative Description of Business.
(i) Principal Services Rendered. Registrant, and its
subsidiaries, which are service organizations, provide temporary office
clerical, marketing, technical, light industrial, home care services to those
who need help with their daily living needs and personal care, managed
services, testing and training and other business services to a diversified
group of customers through offices located in major cities of the United
States, Australia, Canada, Mexico, England, France, Ireland, The Netherlands,
Denmark, New Zealand, Norway, Scotland, and Wales. Although registrant
operates in a single industry segment, these services are generally furnished
under the name of Kelly Temporary Services, with the following specific
services provided: office clerical, marketing, technical, semi-skilled light
industrial, managed services, skills testing and computer-based training.
Staff leasing services are provided in California through Your Staff, a
subsidiary of the registrant. Home care services to those who need help with
their daily living needs and personal care are furnished under the name of
Kelly Assisted Living Services, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of
registrant. Registrant performs these services through its temporary employees
by assigning them to work on the premises of registrant's customers.
The temporary services furnished by registrant afford economies and
flexibility in meeting uneven or peak work loads caused by such predictable
factors as vacations, inventories, month-end activities, special projects or
new promotions and such non-predictable factors as illnesses or emergencies.
When work peaks occur which cannot be handled by the customer's normal staff,
the customer can temporarily supplement regular personnel by the use of
registrant's services. The cost and inconvenience to the customer of hiring
additional employees, including advertising, interviewing, screening, testing
and training are eliminated. Also, recordkeeping is simplified because the
customer pays only one flat rate, based on hours of service furnished by
registrant.
Registrant serves a wide cross-section of customers from industry,
commerce, the professions, government, and individuals. During recent years
over 185,000 customers, including the largest industrial corporations in the
world, have used registrant's services. There have been no significant
changes in the services rendered or in the markets or methods of distribution
since the beginning of registrant's fiscal year.
-3-
Registrant operates through approximately 900 offices located in all 50
states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Australia, Mexico, Canada,
England, France, Ireland, The Netherlands, Denmark, New Zealand, Norway,
Scotland, and Wales. These offices may be classified as offices operated
directly by registrant (or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries) and offices
operated by licensees. Each office provides the services of one or more of
the divisions or subsidiaries. Approximately ninety-nine percent of the
offices are operated directly by registrant (or one of its wholly owned
subsidiaries). The remaining offices are operated by 10 licensees.
(ii) New Services. There are no new industry segments that the
registrant is planning to enter or new service areas that will require a
material investment of assets.
(iii) Raw Materials. Registrant is involved in a service business and
raw materials are nonexistent in the business.
(iv) Service Marks. Registrant is the owner of several service marks,
which are registered with the United States Patent and Trade Mark Office and
in a number of foreign countries. The most significant mark is "Kelly Girl",
which has indeterminable duration.
(v) Seasonal Business Implications. Registrant's business is not
seasonal.
(vi) Working Capital. Registrant believes there are no unusual or
special working capital requirements in the temporary help industry.
(vii) Customers. The business of registrant and its subsidiaries is
not dependent upon either a single customer or a limited number of customers.
(viii) Backlog. Backlog of orders is not material to the business of
registrant.
(ix) Government Contracts. Although registrant conducts business under
various government contracts, that portion of registrant's business is not
significant.
(x) Competition. Registrant is one of the largest suppliers of
temporary help services in the United States. Several companies which operate
nationally offer services competitive to those provided by registrant, and a
large number of organizations operating regionally or locally compete in
varying degrees in different localities where registrant operates branch
offices. The most significant competitive factors are price and service to
customers in the form of timely, efficient and reliable temporary help.
(xi) Research Activities. Registrant's expenditure for research and
the number of people involved are not material.
(xii) Environmental Matters. Registrant is involved in a service
business and is not affected by federal, state and local provisions regulating
the discharge of materials into the environment.
-4-
(xiii) Employees. Registrant and subsidiaries employ on a full time
basis approximately 800 persons at its headquarters in Troy, Michigan, and
approximately 3,500 persons in branch offices operated directly by registrant.
Registrant employed in the last fiscal year 630,000 men and women for temporary
periods. As the employer, registrant is responsible for and pays Social
Security taxes, workers' compensation, federal and state unemployment
compensation taxes, liability insurance and other similar costs, and is
responsible for payroll deductions of Social Security and income taxes.
Although the work may be done in the office of the registrant's customer,
registrant retains the right of control over its employees, including their
assignment and reassignment.
(d) Foreign Operations. Registrant operates in major cities in
Australia, Canada, Mexico, England, France, Ireland, The Netherlands, Denmark,
New Zealand, Norway, Scotland, and Wales; sales for these operations totalled
$235,000,000 in 1993, $225,000,000 in 1992 and $189,000,000 in 1991; operating
losses totalled $2,500,000 in 1993, $5,600,000 in 1992 and $4,100,000 in 1991.
Identifiable assets of these foreign operations were $70,900,000, $69,300,000
and $65,700,000 at the end of 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Registrant owns the premises in Troy, Michigan, from which its
headquarters, subsidiaries and divisional offices are presently operated.
Registrant purchased the original headquarters building in Troy, Michigan, in
1977 and has expanded operations into an adjacent building that was purchased
in 1991. The combined floor space for the headquarters complex approximates
175,000 square feet. The buildings are in good condition, are considered to be
adequate for the uses to which they are being put and are in regular use. In
addition, registrant owns vacant land in Troy and northern Oakland County,
Michigan, for future expansion. Registrant's direct operated branches are
conducted from premises which are leased. A majority of the leases are for
fixed terms, from one to five years. Registrant owns virtually all office
furniture and equipment used in its headquarters building and branch offices.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has proposed the imposition of an
accumulated earnings tax totalling $49 million for 1988, 1989 and 1990 in
connection with an audit of the Company's consolidated federal tax liability.
The Company believes that there is no factual or legal basis for the
imposition of any accumulated earnings tax and that the Company is fully
justified in making provision to meet the needs of Kelly's expanding business
operations. Moreover, tax counsel has advised that a substantial portion of
the IRS proposal results from computational and clerical errors in the
calculation of the tax. The Company is defending its position through the IRS
appeal process and into the courts if necessary. In the opinion of the
Company, the ultimate resolution of this issue will not materially affect its
financial statements.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders in the
fourth quarter of 1993.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Results of Operations
1993 versus 1992
Sales of services reached a record level of nearly $2 billion in 1993, an
increase of 14% over sales of $1.7 billion in 1992 (a 53-week year).
Excluding the 53rd week from the previous year, the 1993 sales were 16% over
1992. This improvement was attributable principally to increases in domestic
sales volume. International sales also reflected a strong increase; however,
the strengthening of the U.S. dollar moderated those results.
Cost of services, representing payroll and related taxes and benefits for
temporary employees, increased 15% over 1992. Strong sales volume and
increases in pay rates and payroll taxes accounted for this change.
Competitive pressures during 1993 were reflected in margins as gross profit
rates declined from 19.9% in 1992 to 19.5% in 1993. The trend in margins
during the last half of 1993 was positive, however.
Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 10% during 1993. As a
percent of sales, administrative expenses declined from 16.9% to 16.2% in
1993, the lowest rate in the Company's history. Branch automation has proven
to be an effective tool in achieving this productivity.
-7-
Earnings from operations this year totalled $63.9 million, an increase of
25% over 1992. The 1993 results, after restating the 1992 results to exclude
the 53rd week, were 31% over last year.
Interest income for 1993 was $7 million, down 29% from the 1992 level of
$9.8 million. The combination of a smaller investment portfolio and a
reduction in the interest rates accounted for the decline in interest income
during the year.
Earnings before taxes were $70.9 million, an increase of 16%. Pretax
margins were 3.6% for both 1993 and 1992. Income taxes increased 21% over
1992, with an effective tax rate of 37.1%, compared to a 35.7% rate in 1992.
The current year tax rate rose as a result of the federal statutory rate
increase and a reduction in tax exempt interest income.
Net earnings were $44.6 million for 1993, 14% above the 1992 results of
$39.2 million. The rate of return on sales was 2.3% in both years. Earnings
per share were $1.18 in 1993 and $1.04 in 1992. The 53rd week added $.04 to
earnings per share in 1992. The per share amounts have been adjusted for the
five-for-four stock split in 1993.
1992 versus 1991
Sales of services increased 20% in 1992, reflecting improved business
conditions. Cost of services increased 23% in 1992, reflecting greater sales
volume and increases in pay rates and benefits. Competitive market pressures
precluded these additional costs from being fully recovered by price
increases. As a result, gross profit margins were 1.8 percentage points below
the previous year. Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 10% in
1992. Expenses as a percentage of sales were 16.9% in 1992, compared to 18.4%
in 1991. Interest income for 1992 totaled $9.8 million, down 28% from 1991
results. Lower interest rates, along with a decline in funds available for
investment, accounted for the reduction in interest income.
Earnings before taxes were $61 million, an increase of 1.3% over 1991.
Pretax margins were 3.6% in 1992 and 4.2% in 1991. The effective income tax
rate on pretax earnings was 35.7%, compared to 35.9% in 1991.
Net earnings were $39.2 million in 1992, an increase of 1.6% over 1991
earnings of $38.6 million. Earnings per common share were $1.04 in 1992
versus $1.03 per share in 1991. The per share amounts have been adjusted for
the five-for-four stock split in 1993.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow from operations for 1993 was $44.9 million. Funds were used
for additional working capital needs, cash dividends, the purchase of capital
equipment and investments in acquisitions and other business expansion. Cash
provided from operations totaled $12.2 million in 1992 and $58.5 million in
1991. The Company has used most of these funds in its operations and payments
of dividends.
The Company's working capital of $291 million increased 4% during the
year, after a 2.5% decline in 1992 and no change in 1991. The current ratios
were 2.9, 3.2 and 3.3 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
-8-
Stockholders' equity grew 5% in 1993, which was higher than the 3%
increase reported in 1992 and equal to the 5% increase of 1991. The return on
average stockholders' equity was 11.8% this year, an improvement over the
previous two years' rates of 10.9% in 1992 and 11.1% in 1991. A five-for-four
stock split was approved by the Board of Directors in May, 1993. Equity per
share at year-end was $10.23 at 1993, $9.74 at 1992 and $9.43 at 1991.
Dividends per share over the past three years were $.63 in 1993, $.58 in 1992
and $.57 in 1991. The Company believes that its strong financial position,
including the absence of any long-term debt, will allow it to meet new capital
requirements as well as to aggressively pursue growth opportunities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors,
Kelly Services, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, of stockholders' equity and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kelly
Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries at January 2, 1994, January 3, 1993 and
December 29, 1991, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Kelly Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(In thousands of dollars except share and per share items)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to December 31. The
three most recent years ended at January 2, 1994 (1993), January 3, 1993
(1992) and December 29, 1991. The current fiscal year is a 52-week period,
while 1992 was a 53-week period and 1991 included 52 weeks.
The Company operates in the single industry segment of providing
temporary help services to a diversified group of customers.
The financial statements consolidate the accounts and operations of the
Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned, after elimination
of all intercompany accounts and transactions. The accounts of the Company's
international operations are translated at appropriate rates of exchange. The
Company's international operations are conducted in Canada, Europe, Australia,
New Zealand and Mexico. Sales for these operations totalled $235,000 in 1993,
$225,000 in 1992 and $189,000 in 1991; operating losses totalled $2,500 in
1993, $5,600 in 1992, and $4,100 in 1991. Identifiable assets are $70,900,
$69,300 and $65,700 at the end of 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Cash and equivalents include highly liquid debt instruments purchased
with original maturities of three months or less. Short-term investments
include debt instruments having an original maturity of more than three months
and are stated at cost and accrued interest, which approximates market.
Properties are stated at cost and include expenditures for additions and
major improvements. Fully depreciated assets are eliminated from the
accounts. For financial reporting purposes, assets are depreciated over their
estimated useful lives, principally by the straight-line method.
Earnings per share are based on the average number of Class A and Class B
common shares outstanding during the year. All per share and share data in
the accompanying financial statements and notes have been restated to give
effect to stock splits.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current presentation.
OTHER ASSETS
Other assets include $17,900, $12,100 and $12,700 of intangible assets at
January 2, 1994, January 3, 1993 and December 29, 1991, respectively,
representing primarily the cost over net assets of businesses acquired. These
intangible assets are being amortized over periods not exceeding 40 years.
Other balances in this account include deposits and cash values of company
owned life insurances.

CAPITALIZATION AND STOCK SPLITS
The authorized capital stock of the Company is 100,000,000 shares of
Class A common stock and 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. Class A
shares have no voting rights and are not convertible. Class B shares have
voting rights and are convertible into Class A shares on a share-for-share
basis at any time. Both classes of stock have identical rights in the event
of liquidation.
In May 1993, the Board of Directors declared a five-for-four split of the
Class A and Class B common stock. At the same time the Board increased the
number of authorized Class A shares to 100,000,000, from 50,000,000.
RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company provides a qualified defined contribution plan covering
substantially all full-time employees, excepting officers and certain other
management employees. Upon approval by the Board of Directors, a contribution
based on eligible wages is funded annually. The plan offers a savings feature
and Company matching contributions. Assets of this plan are held in trust for
the sole benefit of employees.
For officers and certain other management employees, the Company provides
a nonqualified defined contribution plan. Upon approval by the Board of
Directors, a contribution based on eligible wages is set aside annually. This
plan also includes provisions for salary deferrals and Company matching
contributions.
The cost of retirement benefits totalled $3,430 in 1993, $3,365 in 1992
and $3,092 in 1991.
LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company conducts its field operations primarily in leased facilities.
The following are future minimum lease commitments for the five-year period
commencing 1994: $23,800, $17,700, $12,100, $8,100 and $5,300. Lease
expenses for the fiscal years 1993, 1992, and 1991 were $24,900, $24,400 and
$24,400, respectively.

PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
In May 1992, the stockholders approved the Performance Incentive Plan
(the "Plan") to replace the Incentive Stock Option Plan which expired earlier
that year. Under the Plan, stock options (both incentive and nonqualified),
Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs), restricted awards, and performance awards
may be granted to key employees, utilizing the Company's Class A stock. Stock
options may not be granted at prices less than the fair market value on the
date of grant, nor for a term to exceed 10 years.
The Plan provides that the maximum number of shares available for grants
is 5 percent of the outstanding Class A stock, adjusted for Plan activity over
the preceding 5 years.
As of January 2, 1994, no SARs, restricted awards, or performance awards
have been granted under the Plan.
The combined 1993 activity under the two plans identified above is as follows:
Number of Exercise

At the end of 1993, there were 1,319,609 shares available for future
grants.

INCOME TAXES
In January 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. Previously the
Company used SFAS 96. Financial statements for prior years have not been
restated and the cumulative effect of the accounting change was not material.
The following summarizes the differences between income taxes for
financial reporting purposes and the United States statutory tax rate for the
years 1993, 1992 and 1991.
1993 1992 1991
---- ---- ----
Statutory rate . . . . . . . . . . . . 35.0% 34.0% 34.0%
State and local taxes, net of
federal benefit. . . . . . . . . . . 5.2 5.4 5.5

----- ----- -----
Effective tax rate . . . . . . . . . . 37.1% 35.7% 35.9%
===== ===== =====
Deferred taxes are provided for the effect of temporary differences
between financial and tax reporting. These differences are related
principally to depreciation, benefit plan expenses and provision for workers
compensation claims.
In August 1993, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 was signed
into law. The Act increased the U.S. corporate statutory tax rate from 34% to
35% for years beginning after December 31, 1992, changed the deductibility of
certain expenses and extended certain tax credits. The effect of this
retroactive increase in the statutory tax rate was partially offset by a gain
from the revaluation of net deferred tax assets.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has proposed the imposition of an
accumulated earnings tax totalling $49 million for 1988, 1989 and 1990 in
connection with an audit of the Company's consolidated federal tax liability.
The Company believes that there is no factual or legal basis for the
imposition of any accumulated earnings tax and that the Company is fully
justified in making provision to meet the needs of Kelly's expanding business
operations. Moreover, tax counsel has advised that a substantial portion of
the IRS proposal results from computational and clerical errors in the
calculation of the tax. The Company is defending its position through the IRS
appeal process and into the courts if necessary. In the opinion of the
Company, the ultimate resolution of this issue will not materially affect its
financial statements.
The Company paid income taxes of $34,800 in 1993, $21,402 in 1992 and
$24,017 in 1991.
