(In thousands of dollars)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company 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, consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments, have been made which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation 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
December 30, 2001 (the 2001 consolidated financial statements). Certain prior
year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.
2. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets and intangible assets subject to
amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When it is probable
that undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset's
carrying amount, the asset is written down to its fair value. Assets to be
disposed of by sale, if any, are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or
fair value less cost to sell. See footnote 6 for the discussion on the
impairment of goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization.
3. Segment Disclosures
The Company's reportable segments, which are based on the Company's method of
internal reporting, are: (1) U.S. Commercial Staffing, (2) Professional,
Technical and Staffing Alternatives (PTSA) and (3) International. The following
table presents information about the reported sales and earnings from operations
of the Company for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 30, 2002 and July
1, 2001. Segment data presented is net of intersegment revenues. Asset
information by reportable segment is not presented, since the Company does not
produce such information internally.

4. Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and liabilities
which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Litigation is subject to
many uncertainties, the outcome of individual litigated matters is not
predictable with assurance and it is reasonably possible that some matters could
be decided unfavorably to the Company. Although the amount of the liability at
June 30, 2002 with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained, the Company
believes that any resulting liability will not be material to the financial
statements of the Company at June 30, 2002.
5. Earnings Per Share
The reconciliations of earnings per share computations for the 13-week and
26-week periods ended June 30, 2002 and July 1, 2001 were as follows:

6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - Adoption of Statement 142
Effective for fiscal 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," and eliminated
the amortization of purchased goodwill. The Company also reevaluated intangible
assets and determined that their remaining useful lives remained appropriate. At
June 30, 2002, the unamortized purchased goodwill balance was approximately $78
million. Impairment tests of goodwill and intangible assets not subject to
amortization were completed as of December 31, 2001. It was determined that
goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization are not impaired;
therefore there was no transitional impairment charge to be recorded. In
accordance with SFAS No. 142 the Company will test goodwill and intangible
assets not subject to amortization on an annual basis or more often if
circumstances change, indicating potential impairment. The following table
presents net earnings and basic and diluted earnings per share for the 13-week
and 26-week periods ended June 30, 2002 and July 1, 2001, as adjusted for the
non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142.

7. Subsequent Event
On July 1, 2002 the Company purchased 500,000 shares of Class A common stock
from the William R. Kelly Trust. The total value of the share repurchase was
$13.1 million, or $26.28 per share, representing a 2.7% discount to the June 28,
2002 closing market price. This repurchase, which represents approximately 1.4%
of the outstanding shares, will be reflected in the Company's third quarter
results.
10
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition.
Results of Operations:
Second Quarter
Sales of services in the second quarter of 2002 were $1.077 billion, an increase
of 1.0% from the same period in 2001. This improvement was a result of an
increase in average hourly bill rates of 1.1% partially offset by a decline in
hours worked of 0.2%. Sales increases in the Professional, Technical and
Staffing Alternatives (PTSA) and International segments were partially offset by
a small decline in the U.S. Commercial Staffing segment.
The gross profit rate for the second quarter of 2002 averaged 15.8%, a decrease
of 0.9 percentage points compared to the 16.7% rate earned for the same period
in 2001. The gross profit rates of all three business segments showed decreases
in the second quarter of 2002 as compared to last year. The decline in gross
profit rates was due primarily to a continuing shift in the mix of customers to
large corporate and national accounts, a shift in service line mix from
office/clerical business to lower margin light industrial business and a decline
in placement fee income.
Many of the Company's large corporate and national account customers have
negotiated high volume global service agreements, which tend to result in lower
gross profit rates than those earned with the Company's small and medium size
customers. The Company's strategy is focused on serving and growing these large
corporate and national accounts. As customer mix shifts to large corporate and
national accounts, the Company's average gross margins tend to decrease. The
Company expects this trend to continue throughout the balance of 2002.
The Company has also experienced a shift in its mix of business from the
office/clerical to light industrial service lines. Because light industrial
business typically generates lower gross profit rates than office/clerical
staffing, this mix shift has also tended to reduce the Company's average gross
profit rates. The Company believes this shift in business mix is, in large part,
related to the current economic environment and expects this shift in business
mix to reverse when the economy fully recovers.
Fee based recruitment income, which represents approximately one percent of the
Company's total sales, has a significant impact on gross profit rates. There are
very low direct costs of services associated with recruitment income. Therefore,
decreases in permanent placement fees can have a disproportionate impact on
gross profit rates. As compared to last year, many customers reduced or
eliminated the recruiting of full-time employees and the conversions of
temporary to permanent staff. The Company expects that recruitment fee income
will begin to increase when economic growth and job creation resume.
Selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage of sales
were 15.2% in the second quarter of 2002, a 0.5 percentage point improvement
compared to the 15.7% rate in the second quarter of 2001. Selling, general and
administrative expenses totaled $163.7 million, a 2.2% year-over-year decrease.
The decrease was primarily due to staff reductions and lower telecommunications
and recruiting costs, which were the result of expense reduction initiatives the
Company implemented during 2001 that increasingly began to have effect as the
year progressed. The staff reductions in both field operations and headquarters
units generated savings of approximately $3 million in the second quarter of
2002 as compared to the second quarter of the prior year. The Company did not
incur significant termination costs as a result of these staff reductions. The
majority of the staff reductions took place during the second and third quarters
of 2001. As a result, the year-over-year change for the remainder of 2002, as
compared with 2001, is not expected to be as favorable as the second quarter.
Earnings from operations in the second quarter of 2002 totaled $6.5 million, a
40.4% decrease compared to the $10.9 million reported for the second quarter of
2001. Earnings were 0.6% of sales for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to
1.0% for the same period last year.
Net interest income in the second quarter of 2002 was $82 thousand, a $183
thousand improvement compared to last year's net interest expense of $101
thousand. The improvement is primarily attributable to higher cash balances and
lower short-term debt levels, offset by the impact of lower interest rates.
The effective income tax rate in the second quarter of 2002 was 40.0%,
consistent with last year.
11
Second quarter net earnings totaled $3.9 million in 2002, a decrease of 39.1%
from $6.5 million earned last year. The rate of return on sales for the second
quarter of 2002 was 0.4% compared with last year's 0.6% rate. Diluted earnings
per share for the second quarter of 2002 were $0.11, a 38.9% decrease as
compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.18 reported for the second quarter
of 2001.
US Commercial Staffing
Sales in the U.S. Commercial Staffing segment totaled $526.6 million in the
second quarter of 2002, a 0.4% decrease compared to the $528.9 million reported
for the same period in 2001. This reflected a 0.2% decrease in hours worked and
0.1% decrease in average hourly bill rates. The sales changes by month, on a
year-over-year basis, were: down 3% in April, flat in May and up 1% in June,
indicating sequential improvement throughout the second quarter. The Company
expects continued improvement during the third quarter, but the rate of
improvement has slowed relative to the first quarter of 2002.
U.S. Commercial Staffing sales represented 49% of total Company sales in the
second quarter of 2002 and 50% of total Company sales in the second quarter of
2001.
U.S. Commercial Staffing earnings totaled $27.6 million in the second quarter of
2002, a decrease of 10.6% compared to earnings of $30.9 million last year.
Expenses were tightly controlled and decreased 1.5% year-over-year. However, the
0.4% sales decrease, combined with a 0.7 percentage point decrease in the gross
profit rate, produced the 10.6% earnings decline. The decline in the gross
profit rate reflects both an ongoing shift in mix of sales to larger corporate
and national account customers, a shift in the business mix from office/clerical
to light industrial service lines and decreases in fee based income. The
year-over-year decrease in fee based recruitment income for US Commercial was
30% in the second quarter. The decrease in expenses was due in large part to
staff reductions and lower recruiting costs.
Professional, Technical and Staffing Alternatives
PTSA includes the following business units: Kelly Scientific Resources, Kelly
Healthcare Resources, Kelly Home Care Services, Kelly Automotive Services Group,
Kelly Engineering Resources, Kelly Information Technology Resources, Kelly Law
Registry, Kelly Financial Resources, National Payroll Services, Kelly Management
Services, Kelly Staff Leasing, Inc., Kelly Human Resource Consulting, HRFirst
and Vendor Management Services. PTSA sales represented 26% of total Company
sales in the second quarter of 2002 and 25% in the second quarter of 2001.
Sales in the PTSA segment for the second quarter of 2002 totaled $282.2 million,
an increase of 3.9% compared to the $271.5 million reported in the second
quarter of 2001. This reflected a 5.8% increase in average hourly bill rates
partially offset by a 1.7% decrease in hours worked. Revenues in the staffing
alternative businesses, which include the staff leasing and management services
business units, increased by 6.0% compared to the second quarter of 2001.
Results continued to vary among the 14 business units that comprise PTSA. For
the second straight quarter, Kelly Healthcare Resources (KHR) and Kelly
Financial Resources (KFR) continue to be the leading performers in 2002,
exhibiting sales growth of 40% or better for the second quarter. Kelly Staff
Leasing (KSL), Kelly Engineering Resources and Kelly Information Technology
maintained positive sales growth during the second quarter as well. The sales
growth in KHR and KFR reflect the impact of new branches opened in 2001.
Two large PTSA units, Kelly Automotive Services Group (ASG) and Kelly Home Care
(KHC), continued to experience revenue declines during the second quarter of
2002. These decreases, however, were consistent with industry trends in their
staffing sectors. The sales decrease reflects the general softening of the
automotive and home healthcare industries within the overall economy.
PTSA earnings for the second quarter of 2002 totaled $12.3 million and decreased
9.1% from the same period in 2001. This was the result of a decrease of 1.2
percentage points in the gross profit rate, partially offset by the 3.9%
increase in sales and a 1.4% decrease in expenses.
The decrease in the gross profit rate was due to changes in business unit mix
and rate decreases in certain business units, such as ASG, Kelly Information
Technology and KSL. The largest factor in the business unit mix change was the
decline in sales at the Kelly Home Care division which has a higher than average
gross profit margin. The decrease in gross margin at KSL was due in large part
to higher employee benefit costs.

International
Translated U.S. dollar sales in International for the second quarter of 2002
totaled $268.2 million, a 0.9% increase compared to the $265.9 million reported
in the second quarter of 2001. This resulted from an increase in the translated
U.S. dollar average hourly bill rates of 1.2% and an increase in hours worked of
0.3%, partially offset by a 17% decrease in recruitment fees.
On a same currency basis, International revenue decreased 2% in the second
quarter of 2002. This compares to a same currency sales decline of 6% in the
first quarter of 2002 and a 3% decline in the fourth quarter of 2001. Canada,
Mexico and Asia-Pacific, the first regions within the International segment to
reflect the negative impact of the global economic slowdown, are now beginning
to show early signs of improvement. Year-over-year sales in continental Europe
and the United Kingdom remained negative in the second quarter.
International sales represented 25% of total Company sales in the second
quarters of 2002 and 2001.
International earnings from operations were $0.5 million in the second quarter
of 2002 compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2001. However, this
result does represent a significant sequential improvement compared to the
operating loss of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2002. The year-over-year
decrease in earnings from operations was the result of a 1.0 percentage point
decline in the gross profit rate, partially offset by the 0.9% increase in sales
and a 1.8% decrease in expenses.
The decline in the gross profit rate was primarily due to a 17.0% decrease in
recruitment fee income and decreases in the gross profit rates of Netherlands,
Germany, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico. On a year-over-year basis, expenses in
the International segment decreased 1.8% primarily due to lower recruiting and
retention costs and the elimination of goodwill amortization, partially offset
by higher facilities costs. The increase in facilities costs was related to new
branch office openings in Italy during 2001.
Year-to-Date
Sales of services totaled $2.077 billion during the first six months of 2002, a
decrease of 3.5% from the same period in 2001. The decrease was a result of a
decrease in hours worked of 5.4% partially offset by an increase in average
hourly bill rates of 1.3%. Sales decreases in the U.S. Commercial Staffing and
International segments were partially offset by an increase at the PTSA segment.
Gross profit of $329.2 million was 8.5% lower than the first six months of 2001,
and gross profit as a percentage of sales was 15.8% in 2002, which decreased
0.9% compared to the 16.7% rate recorded last year. This reflected decreases in
the gross profit rates of all three business segments. The decline in gross
profit rates was due primarily to a continuing shift in the mix of customers to
large corporate and national accounts, a shift in service line mix from
office/clerical business to lower margin light industrial business and a decline
in recruitment fee income.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $321.5 million were 5.6% lower
than last year. The expense rate improved to 15.5% of sales in 2002 as compared
to 15.8% in 2001. The decrease was due primarily to staff reductions and lower
telecommunication and recruiting costs, which were the result of expense
reduction initiatives the Company implemented during 2001, that increasingly
began to have effect as the year progressed. The staff reductions in both field
operations and headquarters units generated savings of approximately $10 million
year-to-date as compared with the prior year. The Company did not incur
significant termination costs as a result of these staff reductions. The
majority of the staff reductions took place during the second and third quarters
of 2001. As a result, the year-over-year change for the remainder of 2002, as
compared with 2001, is not expected to be as favorable as the first six month
period.
Net interest income for the first six months of 2002 was $223 thousand, a $499
thousand improvement compared to last year's net interest expense of $276
thousand. The improvement is primarily attributable to higher cash balances and
lower short-term debt levels, offset by the impact of lower interest rates.
Earnings before taxes were $7.9 million, a decrease of 58.0% from 2001. Earnings
before taxes averaged 0.4% of sales in the first six months of 2002 and 0.9% of
sales in 2001. Income taxes were 40.0% of pretax earnings in the first six
months of 2002 and 2001.
Net earnings were $4.7 million or a 58.0% decrease compared to the first six
months of 2001. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $.13, a decrease of
58.1% as compared to earnings per share of $.31 in the first six months of 2001.

U.S. Commercial Staffing
Sales in the U.S. Commercial Staffing segment totaled $1,007.2 million for the
first six months of 2002, a 6.5% decrease compared to the $1,076.9 million
reported for the same period in 2001. This reflected a 7.1% decrease in hours
worked partially offset by a 0.8% increase in average hourly bill rates. U.S.
Commercial Staffing sales represented 48% of total Company sales for the first
six months of 2002 as compared with 50% in the same period of 2001.
U.S. Commercial Staffing earnings totaled $50.9 million for the first six months
of 2002 compared to earnings of $62.7 million last year, a decrease of 18.9%.
Expenses were tightly controlled and decreased 5.4% year-over-year primarily due
in large part to staff reductions and lower recruiting costs. However, the 6.5%
sales decrease, combined with a 0.7 percentage point decrease in the gross
profit rate, produced the 18.9% earnings decline. The decline in the gross
profit rate reflects both an ongoing shift in mix of sales to larger corporate
and national accounts, a shift in the business mix from office/clerical to light
industrial and decreases in fee based income. The year-over-year decrease in
recruitment fee income for US Commercial was 35% for the first six months of
2002.
Professional, Technical and Staffing Alternatives
Sales in the PTSA segment for the first six months of 2002 totaled $554.5
million, an increase of 2.8% compared to the $539.1 million reported for the
first six months of 2001. This reflected a 7.5% increase in average hourly bill
rates partially offset by a 4.4% decrease in hours worked. PTSA sales
represented 27% of total Company sales for the first six months of 2002 as
compared with 25% in the same period of 2001.
For the first six months of 2002, Kelly Healthcare Resources and Kelly Financial
Resources continued to be the leading performers, exhibiting sales growth of 40%
or better as compared to the comparable period in 2001. Kelly Staff Leasing,
Kelly Law Registry and Kelly Engineering Resources also maintained positive
sales growth. However, three large PTSA units, Kelly Automotive Services Group,
Kelly Information Technology and Kelly Home Care, experienced revenue declines
during the first six months of 2002 as compared to the first six months of 2001.
These decreases, however, were consistent with industry trends in their staffing
sectors.
PTSA earnings for the first six months of 2002 totaled $23.8 million and
decreased 8.4% from the same period in 2001. This was the result of a decrease
of 1.1 percentage points in the gross profit rate, partially offset by the 2.8%
increase in sales and a 2.3% decrease in expenses.
The decrease in the gross profit rate was due to changes in business unit mix
and rate decreases in certain business units, such as Kelly Automotive Services
Group and Kelly Information Technology. The most significant factors impacting
the business unit mix were the decline in sales at the Kelly Home Care unit,
which has a higher than average gross profit rate, and the increase in sales at
Kelly Staff Leasing, which has a significantly lower than average gross profit
rate.
International
Translated U.S. dollar sales in International for the first six months of 2002
totaled $515.3 million, a 4.1% decrease compared to the $537.4 million reported
in the first six months of 2001. This resulted from a decrease in the translated
U.S. dollar average hourly bill rates of 0.7%, a decrease in hours worked of
2.8% and a 22% decrease in recruitment fees.
On a same currency basis, International revenue decreased 4% in the first six
months of 2002. International sales represented 25% of total Company sales in
the first six months of 2002 and 2001.
International results were a loss of $0.7 million for the first six months of
2002 compared to earnings of $3.6 million for the same period in 2001. The
decrease in earnings from operations was the result of the 4.1% decrease in
sales and a 1.0 percentage point decline in the gross profit rate, partially
offset by a 4.9% reduction in expenses.
The decline in the gross profit rate was primarily due to a 22.0% decrease in
recruitment fee income. On a year-over-year basis, expenses in the International
segment decreased 4.9% primarily due to staff reductions, lower recruiting costs
and the elimination of goodwill amortization.

Financial Condition
Assets totaled $1.084 billion at June 30, 2002, an increase of 4.3% from the
$1.039 billion at December 31, 2001. The Company's working capital position was
$334 million at June 30, 2002, an increase of $12 million from year-end 2001.
The current ratio was 1.9 at quarter-end 2002 and year-end 2001. Cash and
short-term investments totaled $78 million at June 30, 2002, a decrease of $6
million compared to the $84 million at year-end 2001.
During the first six months of 2002, net cash from operating activities totaled
$17.6 million, a decrease of 79.3% from the comparable period in 2001. This
decrease is primarily due to a $35.6 million increase in the accounts receivable
balance, compared to the $37.9 million decrease in accounts receivable during
the same period in 2001. The global days sales outstanding for the second
quarters of 2002 and 2001 was 50 days.
Short-term debt totaled $30 million at June 30, 2002, which decreased $3 million
compared to the $33 million level at year-end 2001. All short-term borrowings
are foreign currency denominated and reduce the Company's exposure to foreign
exchange fluctuations. At quarter end, debt represented less than 5% of total
capital.
Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2002 totaled $14 million, down
40.1% from the $24 million spent in the first six months of 2001. For 2002,
capital expenditures are expected to total between $35 and $40 million.
Depreciation and amortization for the first six months of 2002 totaled $21.1
million, essentially flat compared to the $21.4 million for same period of 2001.
As a result of the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
(SFAS) No. 142 at the beginning of 2002, the Company will eliminate
approximately $2.7 million of amortization of goodwill in 2002. Approximately
$1.3 million of amortization was eliminated in the first six months of 2002. For
planning purposes, the Company expects depreciation and amortization of
intangible assets other than goodwill to total approximately $43 to $47 million
for 2002, reflecting on-going implementation of major IT projects, including the
Company's StaffNet branch automation system.
Stockholders' equity was $620 million at June 30, 2002, which represents a $13
million increase as compared to year-end 2001. The increase in stockholders'
equity is primarily the result of the change in accumulated foreign currency
adjustments.
On July 1, 2002, the Company repurchased 500,000 shares of Class A common stock
from the William R. Kelly Trust. The total value of the share repurchase was
$13.1 million. The repurchase transaction will be reflected in the Company's
third quarter results.
Dividends paid per common share were $.10 in the second quarter of 2002, a
decrease of 60% from dividends of $.25 per share in the second quarter of 2001,
reflecting the change in the Company's dividend policy implemented in November
2001.
The Company's financial position remains strong. The Company continues to carry
no long-term debt and expects to meet its growth requirements principally
through cash generated from operations, available cash and short term
investments and committed unused credit facilities.
The Company has no material unrecorded commitments, losses, contingencies or
guarantees associated with any related parties or unconsolidated entities.
15
Market Risk-Sensitive Instruments And Positions
The Company does not hold or invest in derivative contracts. The Company is
exposed to foreign currency risk primarily due to its net investment in foreign
subsidiaries. This risk is mitigated by the use of the Company's multi-currency
line of credit. This credit facility is used to borrow in local currencies which
mitigates the exchange rate risk resulting from foreign currency-denominated net
investments fluctuating in relation to the U.S. dollar. In addition, the Company
is exposed to interest rate risks through its use of the multi-currency line of
credit.
In addition, the Company is exposed to market risk as a result of its obligation
to pay benefits under its nonqualified deferred compensation plan and its
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 publicly traded mutual funds, as
part of the company-owned variable universal life insurance policies, are
designed to mitigate this risk with offsetting gains and losses.
Overall, the Company's holdings and positions in market risk-sensitive
instruments do not subject the Company to material risk.
Forward-Looking Statements
Except for the historical statements and discussions contained herein,

workers not passed on to customers, currency fluctuations, changes in laws and
regulations, the Company's ability to effectively implement and manage its
information technology programs, the ability of the Company to successfully
expand into new markets and service lines and other factors discussed in the
