                                    PART I

Item 1.  Business.

General

         Olsten Corporation (herein, together with its subsidiaries unless the

context otherwise requires, generally referred to as "Registrant") was

incorporated in Delaware in 1967 as the successor to a business founded in 1950.

On July 30, 1993, Lifetime Corporation merged into Registrant.  The merger was

accounted for as a pooling of interests and materially increased Registrant's

health care business.

         Registrant operates through subsidiaries principally under the trade

names "Olsten Kimberly QualityCare" and "Olsten Staffing Services" and engages

in and derives substantially all of its revenues from two industry segments,

HealthCare Services and Staffing Services. Registrant furnishes, through offices

operated or licensed by it and its subsidiaries or pursuant to franchises

granted by Registrant, health care personnel ("caregivers") in home, health care

facility and business settings and temporary personnel ("assignment employees")

to business, industry and government.  Registrant also provides management

services for hospital-based home health agencies and, through its ASB Meditest

subsidiary, provides on-site diagnostic and paramedical examination services for

insurance, corporate and government clients.  A full range of permanent and

temporary placement services are also offered in Great Britain through

Registrant's Office Angels subsidiary.  Registrant's owned, licensed and

franchised operations conduct business through approximately 1,200 offices in

50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Canadian provinces of

Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia,

Ontario and Quebec, Great Britain and Mexico.

         Selected financial information relating to Registrant's industry

segments is contained herein in Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial

Statements.
                                      - 3 -
  4
         Systemwide HealthCare and Staffing sales accounted for approximately

47% and 53%, respectively, of Registrant's 1994 systemwide sales, approximately

54% and 46%, respectively, of Registrant's 1993 systemwide sales and

approximately 58% and 42%, respectively, of Registrant's 1992 systemwide sales. 

Systemwide sales represent all services and home care visits provided by or

through Registrant's entire network, including Registrant, licensed and

franchised offices and hospital-based home health agencies under management.

         In HealthCare Services, Registrant provides home health care through

Registrant's licensed health care personnel, such as registered nurses, offering

a broad range of services, including physician-prescribed skilled nursing

treatments, patient and family education, case management, pediatric and

perinatal care, physical, occupational, neurological and speech therapies,

intravenous administration of drugs, nutrients and other solutions, and

rehabilitation.  Through its clinical pharmacy network, Registrant has the

ability to deliver nutrients and medications utilized in certain of its home

health care services.  Home health care provided by Registrant's unlicensed

personnel, such as home health aides and homemakers, may involve assistance with

personal hygiene, feeding, dressing, preparation of meals and light

housekeeping.  In carrying out supplemental institutional staffing, Registrant's

health care professionals perform services for hospitals, nursing homes, clinics

and other health care facilities and furnish business and industry with

specialized staffing.  Health care institutions use supplemental staffing for

peak periods, illnesses and vacations, helping these facilities control employee

costs.

         Factors that Registrant believes have contributed to the development

of home health care in particular include institutional, governmental and third-

party payor recognition that home health care is a cost-effective alternative

to lengthy, more expensive institutional care; an aging population; 

creasing consumer awareness and interest in home health care; the psychological 

                                      - 4 -
  5
benefits of recuperating from an illness or accident in one's own home; and

advanced technology that allows more health care procedures to be provided at

home instead of only in hospital settings.  Of Registrant's systemwide

HealthCare sales, approximately 38% is attributable to Medicare cost

reimbursement.  The federal government, in terms of its Medicare program, and

various states where Registrant operates have enacted laws and regulations that

affect the provision of home health care services by Registrant, including

reimbursement for such services.

         Registrant is expanding its health care service delivery capabilities

through hospital management contracts to manage hospital home health operations

in exchange for management fees.  In 1994, Registrant entered into hospital

management contracts with, among others, Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation

whereby Registrant manages certain of that Corporation's hospital-based home

health agencies in Florida and provides patients with a comprehensive range of

home health care services.

         Registrant is also actively pursuing relationships with managed care

organizations as a provider and is expanding its capabilities as a home health

managed care delivery network.  In this role, Registrant manages and contracts

for all home health care services.  Registrant's nationwide office network and

the quality, range and cost-effectiveness of its services are important factors

as it seeks opportunities in the managed care delivery network.  In its managed

care relationships, Registrant offers the direct and managed provision of care

as a single gatekeeper, thereby optimizing utilization.

         In Staffing Services, Registrant provides assignment employees in more

then 300 skill categories in the following broad service areas:  general office

and administrative services, office automation, accounting,

production/assembly/distribution, technical, legal support, records management,

marketing support and telemarketing.  Registrant furnishes assignment employees

who provide accounting services to business and industry under the trade name

"Olsten Professional Accounting Services."

                                      - 5 -
  6
         In general, Registrant obtains clients through personal sales

presentations, telephone marketing calls, direct mail solicitation, referrals

from other clients and advertising in a variety of local and national media,

including the Yellow Pages, newspapers, magazines and trade publications. 

Registrant's marketing efforts for HealthCare Services also involve personal

contact with case managers for managed health care programs, such as those

involving Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and Preferred Provider

Organizations (PPOs), physicians and their staffs, hospital discharge planners,

nursing home supervisors, insurance company representatives and employers with

self-funded employee health benefit programs.

         By supplying an auxiliary work force to its Staffing Services clients,

Registrant believes it affords them economies and flexibility in meeting their

requirements for peak periods caused by such recurring factors as seasonal

demands, inventories, month-end requirements and vacations and such

unpredictable factors as special projects, marketing promotions, illnesses and

emergencies.  Assignments of personnel may be for hours, days, weeks, months or

longer periods.

         Utilization of assignment employees has become a valuable and

recognized management tool for many companies to convert fixed costs to variable

costs, especially in view of corporate reengineering and restructuring in a more

competitive global environment.  With the availability of such services, a

client can maintain on a cost-effective basis a core level of permanent

personnel required by normal business activities which may not expand much even

as business conditions improve.  The expense and inconvenience to a client of

hiring additional permanent employees for assignments of a limited duration,

including advertising, interviewing and testing, are eliminated.  The use of

Registrant's services also enables clients to eliminate the record 

keeping, payroll taxes, insurance and administrative costs usually associated

with permanent personnel.  A client pays only for actual hours worked by 

                                      - 6 -
  7
Registrant's assignment employees and may terminate their services immediately

upon completion of the job assignment without the adverse effects of lay-offs.

         In Staffing Services, Registrant is pursuing outsourcing service

relationships with client companies.  Outsourcing, which is becoming

increasingly important to Registrant, typically involves an arrangement between

a personnel staffing company and the client, with the staffing company moving

management personnel on site at the client to coordinate temporary staffing from

within or with the staffing company taking some or all of the responsibility for

the supply, supervision and operation of personnel for whole departments within

a client.   Registrant's services may also include customized training, billing

and electronic information exchange programs for its clients. Outsourcing can

enable a client to better manage personnel expenses and can save a client time

and money by reducing its employee recruitment and training efforts,

particularly if the client is experiencing a high employee turnover rate. 

Registrant, through its Partnership Program SM services with major corporate

clients, recruits, trains and manages large groups of employees, allowing its

clients to better focus on their core businesses.

         Registrant believes that its success in furnishing caregivers and

assignment employees is based, among other factors, on its reputation for

quality and its extensive office network.  Registrant utilizes an established

system of procedures aimed at custom matching its assignment employees to the

specific requirements of its clients.  Registrant has implemented an

interviewing and evaluation process that determines the level of skills of its

caregivers and assignment employees and aids in their proper selection and

placement.  Thereafter, the employees' performance is reviewed with the client

to provide quality control.  Registrant empowers its branch managers and branch

directors with a high level of responsibility, providing strong incentives to

manage the business effectively at the local level--one of the central

ingredients in a business where relationships are vital for success.

                                      - 7 -
  8
         There is no one client that accounts for as much as 10% of Registrant's

revenues.  In the opinion of Registrant, its business is not seasonal to any

material degree.  Except for the expansion of management services for hospital-

based home health agencies and services as a home health care delivery network

manager, there have not been any significant changes in the kinds of services

rendered or methods of distribution of Registrant since the end of the last

fiscal year.

         Registrant's caregivers and assignment employees, as well as the

employees of other firms providing similar services, are paid weekly for their

services while payments are generally received from customers within five to ten

weeks on average of the related billings for such services.  Consequently, as

new offices are established or acquired, or as existing offices expand, there

is an ongoing requirement for cash resources to fund current operations as well

as to provide for the expansion of the business.

         Registrant has grown and is pursuing expansion opportunities through

the acquisition of companies, the opening of additional Registrant-owned and

licensed area representative offices and through the development and extension

of specialized services, particularly health care, office automation, accounting

and technical services.


Franchise Operations

         Approximately 105 offices were operated by nine franchisees under

franchises granted by Registrant.  Franchisees, most of whom provide only

Staffing Services, have the exclusive right to market and furnish assignment

employees within a designated geographic area using Registrant's trade names,

service marks, advertising materials, sales programs, manuals and forms.  

Franchisees receive training from Registrant, attend seminars, participate in

marketing programs and utilize Registrant's sales literature.  Registrant has

established operating procedures and standards to be followed by its

franchisees.  Registrant provides franchisees with billing, payroll and other 
                                      - 8 -
  9
data processing systems and services and offers them accounts receivable

financing.  Registrant also assists its franchisees in obtaining business from

its national accounts and through its national and cooperative local

advertising.  

         Franchisees operate their businesses autonomously within the framework

of Registrant's policies and standards, and recruit, employ and pay their own

permanent and assignment employees.  Registrant receives royalty fees from each

franchise based upon its gross franchise sales.  Royalty fees generally start

at 5% of gross franchise sales and decrease based upon volume.  Sales by

franchisees to their clients are not included in Registrant's service sales. 

Franchise agreements are generally for a term of ten years and typically are

renewable at the option of the franchisee for five additional five-year terms. 

Registrant may terminate a franchise if the franchisee fails to meet

Registrant's standards or otherwise breaches the franchise agreement. 

Registrant is not granting new franchises and has not granted any since 1980.


Licensed Area Representative Operations

         Approximately 90 offices were operated by 60 licensed area

representatives.  Substantially all of these offices provided only Staffing

Services.  A licensed area representative is a person authorized by Registrant

to operate Registrant's Staffing Services business within an exclusive marketing

area.  The agreements governing licensed area representative operations do not

have a stated term.  The licensed area representative does not have an ownership

interest in the business but receives approximately 50% of the office's gross

profit margin in the form of commissions, which are reflected in Registrant's

selling, general and administrative expenses.  The licensed area representative

is responsible for the office's operating expenses, such as rent, utilities and

permanent staff salaries, and Registrant is responsible for the assignment

employee wages and related payroll taxes and insurances.  Registrant also

provides national advertising, shares in the costs of certain local advertising,

                                      - 9 -
  10
conducts training seminars and furnishes operating manuals, automated payroll

systems, forms, sales materials and basic supplies to the licensed area

representatives.

         Licensed area representatives are required to observe Registrant's

operating procedures and standards and act for Registrant in recruiting,

screening, classifying and employing assignment employees.  The licensed area

representatives solicit orders for assignment employees from clients and assign

Registrant's assignment employees to clients in response to such orders. 

Registrant's experience has shown that licensing is a more profitable method of

operation than franchising.


Source and Availability of Personnel

         Caregivers and assignment employees are recruited through advertising

in local and, to a lesser extent, national media.  In addition, a substantial

portion of new employees is obtained through referrals by other employees of

Registrant.  Registrant interviews, screens, checks references and evaluates the

skills of applicants for employment, utilizing systems and procedures that it

has developed and enhanced over the years.  Caregivers and assignment employees

are generally employed by Registrant on an as-needed basis dependent upon client

demand.  Registrant's employees are paid by Registrant only for time they

actually work, subject to a four-hour daily minimum on the days they work. 

Although conditions may vary in different areas of the country and with respect

to different skill categories, caregivers and assignment employees were

generally less available during 1994 than they were in the preceding year.


Importance and Effect of Trademarks Held

         Various trademarks are registered with the United States Patent and

Trademark Office protecting the name OLSTEN (R).  Other marks that are

registered and utilized in Registrant's business include MATURE ADVANTAGE (R),

PRECISE (R), PROFILER (R) and THE WORKING SOLUTION (R).  Under current law,

                                     - 10 -
  11
these federal trademark registrations can be renewed indefinitely.  National

advertising and usage have, in the belief of Registrant, given significance to

these marks in the United States and Canada.


Competitive Position

         The HealthCare Services and Staffing Services provided by Registrant

also are provided by several companies which operate, as Registrant does,

nationally throughout the United States and by numerous regional and local firms

and are highly competitive.  Unlike Registrant, such companies and firms usually

provide either HealthCare Services or Staffing Services, but not both. 

Registrant believes that it is North America's largest provider of home health

care services and third largest provider of staffing services.

         The principal methods of competing are availability of personnel,

quality of services and the price of such services.  Registrant believes that

its favorable competitive position is attributable to its early industry entry,

to its widespread office network and to the consistently high quality and

targeted services it has provided over the years to its clients, as well as to

its screening and evaluation procedures, its training programs and its employee

retention techniques.


Number of Persons Employed

         At January 1, 1995, Registrant employed approximately 7,900 permanent

employees and during 1994 employed approximately 550,000 caregivers and

assignment employees.  In addition, Registrant's franchisees employed

approximately 600 permanent employees as well as approximately 90,000 assignment

employees during 1994.  Employees of franchisees are not Registrant's employees.

         As the employer of its caregivers and assignment employees, Registrant

is responsible for and pays the employer's share of Social Security taxes,

federal and state unemployment taxes, workers' compensation insurance and other

similar costs.  Wages are paid to caregivers and assignment employees by 

                                     - 11 -
  12
Registrant on an hourly basis and may vary in different geographic areas to give

effect to prevailing wages paid for particular skills in the community where the

services are performed.  Registrant believes that its relationships with its

employees are generally good.

         All caregivers and assignment employees of Registrant are covered by

general liability insurance and by a fidelity bond maintained by Registrant. 

In addition, caregivers are covered by professional medical liability insurance.

Registrant believes that its insurance coverages are adequate for the purposes

of its business.



Operations in Great Britain, Canada and Mexico

         Registrant, through its Office Angels subsidiary, operated

approximately 45 offices in Great Britain to provide temporary and permanent

placement services.  Registrant, through subsidiaries, operated approximately

20 offices to provide assignment employees and 15 offices to provide caregivers

in Canada.  In addition, five  Canadian offices were operated by licensed area

representatives to provide caregivers.    In 1994 Registrant acquired a majority

interest in a Mexican staffing services company, now called Olsten STAFF, which

operates three offices in Mexico.  The British, Canadian and Mexican operations

do not account for a significant percentage of Registrant's assets, revenues or

net income.



Item 2.  Properties.

         The international corporate headquarters of Registrant are located at

175 Broad Hollow Road, Melville, New York.  The building in which the

headquarters are located is owned by Registrant through a subsidiary and

contains approximately 120,000 square feet of office space.  

         The leases for the operating offices utilized by Registrant's

subsidiaries expire at various dates.  Registrant believes that such facilities 

                                     - 12 -
  13
are adequate for its immediate needs.  Registrant does not anticipate that it

will have any problem obtaining additional space if needed in the future.



Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

         There are no material pending legal proceedings to which Registrant or

any of its subsidiaries is a party.



Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

         No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the

fourth quarter of Registrant's 1994 fiscal year.



Item 4(a).  Executive Officers of Registrant.

         The following table sets forth certain information regarding each of

the executive officers of Registrant:

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations.

                        OLSTEN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
                                  AND ANALYSIS OF
                   FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                   ---------------------------------------------
Results of Operations

Operating results reflect the combined operations of Olsten Corporation (the
"Company") and Lifetime Corporation ("Lifetime"), pursuant to the merger
completed on July 30, 1993, which was accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Comparisons with prior years are based on restated combined results.  Results
for 1993 included merger and integration costs of $80.9 million, as well as an
extraordinary charge, net of taxes, of $14.7 million relating to the prepayment
of debt assumed in the Lifetime merger.  In 1992, Lifetime recorded a charge of
$11.7 million relating to the restructuring of certain operations and severance
pay provided to the former chairman.

Excluding the effects of these non-recurring charges, primary earnings per
share increased 44 percent to $1.67 in 1994 versus $1.16 in 1993.  Primary
earnings per share for 1993 increased 25 percent from 93 cents in 1992. 
Included in net income for 1994 was $1.9 million, or 5 cents per share, related
primarily to the recognition, net of tax, of a previously deferred gain and
related interest income on the sale of National Mentor, Inc.

Revenues increased 5 percent to $2.3 billion in 1994 compared to $2.2 billion
in 1993.  Revenues in 1993 rose 10 percent from $2 billion in 1992. 

HealthCare Services' revenues decreased 10 percent in 1994 and increased 4
percent in 1993, over the prior years.  Adverse sales comparisons in 1994
resulted from the sale, transfer, or repositioning of certain parts of our
Olsten Kimberly QualityCare business for future growth in a changing health
care marketplace.  We entered into contracts with a number of major managed
care providers that give us access to millions of covered lives.  In October
1994, we became the largest provider of management services to hospital-based
home health agencies when we announced an agreement with Columbia/HCA
Healthcare Corporation, the nation's largest hospital system, to manage home
health agencies in 22 of its hospitals.  The modest growth in 1993 was
attributable to the management and operational focus on the immediate
integration of the combined Olsten and Lifetime health care organizations.

Staffing Services' revenues increased 24 percent and 21 percent in 1994 and
1993, respectively, as the Company took advantage of an improving economy and
a surging demand for assignment employees.  We continued to provide Partnership
Program SM services to major corporations in North America and Great Britain,
bringing to them a broad array of staffing solutions as they restructured and
reengineered their operations in a competitive global environment.

Cost of services sold increased 6 percent, to $1.6 billion in 1994; 11 percent,
to $1.5 billion in 1993; and 17 percent, to $1.3 billion in 1992.  As a
percentage of revenues, such expenses were 70.3 percent, 69.3 percent and 68.7
percent in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.  Gross margins as a percentage of
revenues decreased to 29.7 percent in 1994 from 30.7 percent in 1993, and 31.3
percent in 1992 as a result of the faster growth of the Staffing Services
business, which operates at lower average gross margins than HealthCare
Services.
                                     - 17 -
  18
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were
24.2 percent, 26 percent and 27.2 percent in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
The decrease resulted from the effective management of operating costs, and
operating efficiencies achieved in the integration of Lifetime into the Company.

Net interest expense of $5.1 million, $17.9 million and $19.8 million, in 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively, reflected borrowing costs on long-term debt offset
by interest income on investments.  The decrease in net interest expense in 1994
resulted from the repayment of $137 million of double-digit coupon Lifetime debt
in 1993, the conversion to equity of $14 million of high coupon debt assumed in
the merger with Lifetime, and the repayment of $34 million of borrowings under
our revolving credit agreement.  The decrease in 1993 resulted primarily from
the repayment of the $137 million of Lifetime debt in the latter half of 1993.

The combination of the factors previously described increased pre-tax income
from operations, excluding the merger and integration costs and the
restructuring charges, to $120.9 million in 1994, compared to $83 million in
1993 and $60.3 million in 1992.

Excluding the impact of the non-recurring charges, the 1994 effective income
tax rate was 42 percent, compared to 43.7 percent in 1993 and 43.8 percent in
1992.  The Company's effective rate has exceeded the Federal statutory rate
primarily because of non-deductible goodwill amortization and state income
taxes, which vary from year to year in relation to the mix of taxable income
by state.

Systemwide Sales

Systemwide sales for our two segments increased 8 percent, to $2.6 billion in
1994; 11 percent,  to $2.4 billion in 1993; and 16 percent, to $2.1 billion in
1992.  Systemwide sales represent all services and home care visits provided
by or through the entire Olsten network, including Company, licensed and
franchised offices and hospital-based home health agencies under management.
The presentation of systemwide sales is provided to reflect the entire scope
of Olsten's operations.  This has become a key statistic, particularly in
measuring the effect of the hospital management contracts entered into by the
Company's HealthCare Services subsidiary.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital at January 1, 1995, including $68.3 million in cash, was $274
million, an increase of 14 percent over the prior year.  Cash increased $43.6
million to $68.3 million in 1994 as a result of revenue growth and cash
collection efforts which reduced receivable balances.  Fixed assets, net,
increased $12.4 million primarily relating to the purchase of the Company's new
international headquarters building.

The Company has a revolving credit agreement with six banks for up to $200
million in borrowings and letters of credit.  As of January 1, 1995, there were
no borrowings and $67.7 million in standby letters of credit outstanding.  The
Company believes that its levels of working capital and liquidity and its
available sources of funds are sufficient to support present operations and to
continue to fund future growth and business opportunities as the Company
increases its scope of services.

The Company's annual dividend on common stock and Class B common stock was 24
cents per share.

                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       (In thousands, except share amounts)

Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries.  The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday
nearest to December 31st.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified
to conform with the current year presentation.

Revenue Recognition
Service sales and the related labor costs and payroll taxes are recorded in the
period in which the services are performed.  Franchise fees, which are based
upon contractual percentages of franchise sales, and management fees generated
from management services provided to hospital-based home health agencies, are
included with Company service sales and recorded in the period in which the
services are provided.

Cash
Cash includes equivalents which are highly liquid investments with maturities
of three months or less.

Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives
of the assets using the straight-line method.  Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the life of the
improvement.

Intangibles
Intangibles, principally goodwill, associated with acquired businesses and the
unexpired terms of reacquired franchise contracts are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to forty years.

Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currencies of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are Canadian
dollars, United Kingdom pounds sterling and Mexican pesos.  Assets and
liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates
of exchange in effect at the appropriate balance sheet date.  Results of
operations are translated using an average exchange rate for the appropriate
periods.  Translation gains and losses and intercompany foreign currency
transactions which are long-term in nature are reflected as adjustments to
shareholders' equity.  Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses
recognized by the Company have not been significant.  Foreign currency exchange
rate fluctuations have not had a material effect on operating cash balances.

Income Taxes
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109
"Accounting for Income Taxes," effective January 4, 1993.  The adoption of SFAS
109 changed the Company's method of accounting for income taxes from the
deferred method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 11 to an
asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes are recognized for all
temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of the
Company's assets and liabilities based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax
rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to
affect taxable income.


                                      F-6

Earnings Per Share
Primary earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares
of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding during the period, after
giving effect to potentially dilutive options and warrants under the treasury
stock method.  In calculating fully diluted earnings per share, both net income
and shares outstanding have been adjusted to assume the Company's convertible
debt had been converted to common stock at the beginning of the period.

Note 2.  Merger of Lifetime Corporation

On July 30, 1993, following approval by the shareholders of both companies,
Lifetime Corporation was merged into the Company.  As a result, the Company
issued approximately 13.5 million shares of Class B common stock in exchange for
all of the outstanding Lifetime common stock and vested options based upon the
conversion ratio of 1.27 shares of Class B common stock for each share of
Lifetime common stock.  Substantially all of the Class B common stock issued in
the merger was subsequently converted into common stock.  The merger was
accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the consolidated
financial statements of the Company were restated for all periods prior to the
merger to combine the accounts and operations of the Company and Lifetime. 
Additionally, certain reclassifications were made in order to conform Lifetime's
accounts to the Company's presentation.

In the third quarter of 1993, the Company recorded merger and integration costs
of $80.9 million, consisting of transaction costs of $15 million, compensation
and severance costs of $33 million, asset writedowns of $16 million and
integration costs of $17 million.  These costs reduced net income by $58.7
million, net of tax, or $1.46 per share.  At January 1, 1995 and January 2,
1994, $11.7 million and $38.8 million, respectively, of these costs remained
unpaid and were included in accrued expenses.

In the last half of 1993, the Company prepaid $136.8 million representing
outstanding principal balances on certain Notes which were assumed as part of
the Lifetime merger.  In connection with this early repayment, the Company paid
prepayment penalties, reflected as an extraordinary charge, totaling $14.7
million, net of income tax benefit of $16.4 million. 

In the second quarter of 1992, Lifetime recorded a charge of $11.7 million
relating to the restructuring of certain operations and severance payable to the
former chairman.  This charge reduced 1992 net income by $7.1 million, net of
tax, or 20 cents per share.

In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company sold National Mentor Inc.
("Mentor"), a subsidiary engaged in the provision of community-based
psychiatric care, for $13.6 million, in cash.  In conjunction with the sale, the
Company loaned Mentor $6 million in 9% subordinated debt and purchased 9,913
shares of common stock for $1 million.  The Company deferred the recognition of
the after-tax gain on the sale of $3.9 million until the Company's interest in
the subordinated debt and stock was deemed fully realizable.  As a result of the
subsequent resale of Mentor, the previously deferred gain and related interest
income was recognized in the fourth quarter of 1994, and is included in
revenues.

In March 1993, the Company issued $125 million of 4-7/8% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures maturing in 2003 which are convertible into the
Company's common stock at $34.80 per share.  The Debentures are redeemable in
whole or in part at the option of the Company, together with accrued interest,
except that no redemption may be made prior to May 16, 1996.

On April 12, 1994, the Company called for redemption all $14 million of its
11.2% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes, representing the last of the high
coupon debt assumed in the Lifetime merger.  At the option of the noteholders,
all $14 million was converted into 636,109 shares of Class B common stock, and
subsequently converted into common stock.

In September 1994, the Company's existing revolving credit agreement with six
banks was amended and extended through the year 2000.  The agreement provides
for up to $200 million in borrowings and letters of credit with interest rates
based on London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).  Under the provisions of the
agreement, on December 15, 1996, any amounts outstanding will be converted to
a term loan and amortized over the remaining life of the facility.  As of
January 1, 1995 there were no borrowings and $67.7 million in standby letters
of credit outstanding.

The revolving credit agreement contains various covenants which, among other
things, require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrict the
incurrence of liens, additional indebtedness, payment of dividends, purchase
or redemption of stock or warrants, ability to merge, consolidate, or dispose
of assets.

Interest expense is net of interest income of $3 million in 1994, $2.7 million
in 1993, and $1.7 million in 1992.

Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into one share of common
stock, has a par value of $.10 and is entitled to ten votes.  The Company is
also authorized to issue 250,000 shares of preferred stock; no shares have
been issued.

Lifetime had previously issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock
in connection with the sale of convertible debentures which Lifetime
subsequently repaid.  As a result of the merger, the warrant holders were
entitled to exchange six warrants plus $27 for 1.27 Olsten Class B common
shares.  Additionally, on January 31, 1995, the Company announced an agreement
in principle for settlement of a class action lawsuit that, among its terms,
would reduce the cash payment required to exchange six warrants to $24.17 per
share.  The settlement is subject to the execution of a definitive settlement
agreement and approval of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware.  At
January 1, 1995, 4,530,000 warrants to purchase 959,000 shares of Olsten Class
B common stock, as adjusted for the merger, were exercisable and expire on
October 31, 1996.

Note 6.  Stock Plans

In 1994, shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 1994 Stock
Incentive Plan ("1994 Plan") under which an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of
common stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise of options thereunder. 
These options may be awarded in the form of incentive stock options ("ISOs")
or non-qualified stock options ("NQSOs").  The option price of an ISO cannot
be less than 100%, and the option price of the NQSO cannot be less than 85%,
of the fair market value at the date of the grant.  This plan replaces the
1984 Incentive Stock Option Plan ("1984 ISO Plan") and the 1984 Non-Qualified
Stock Option Plan ("1984 NQSO Plan"), which terminated in February 1994 except
as to options then outstanding.  At January 1, 1995, there were options
outstanding of 351,150, 412,319 and 187,500 for the 1994 Plan, 1984 ISO Plan
and 1984 NQSO Plan, respectively.  Options become cumulatively exercisable
commencing one year after grant in four equal annual installments under the
1994 Plan and 1984 ISO Plan and in five equal annual installments under the
1984 NQSO Plan.

In 1991, shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the Non-
Qualified Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors and Consultants (the
"Non-Employee Plan") authorizing the grant of options to outside directors and
consultants to purchase up to an aggregate of 150,000 shares of common stock. 
At January 1, 1995, there were options outstanding of 51,500 under this plan. 
Under the Non-Employee Plan, options may be granted at prices not less than
fair market value at the date of grant and become exercisable no earlier than
six months nor later than five years from the date of grant.

Lifetime maintained four Stock Option Plans, including a Non-Employee Director
Stock Option Plan.  All plans involved options which were granted at not less
than the fair market value at the date of grant.  At the merger date, all of
the currently vested options under these plans were exchanged for Olsten Class
B common stock equal to their net economic value.  Remaining outstanding
options were converted to options for Olsten Class B shares and are
exercisable over various periods not exceeding three years.  At January 1,
1995, 161,005 options were outstanding under this plan.

Options under the 1994 Plan and Non-Employee Plan generally expire 10 years
after grant, subject to shareholder approval, except that options granted
under the Non-Employee Plan prior to 1995 expire five years after grant. 
Options under the other plans generally expire five years after grant.  A
summary of activity under all plans during 1994 follows:

During 1993 and 1992, options on 1,440,242 and 337,052 shares, respectively,
were exercised under all plans at prices of $7.87 to $24.80 per share.

At January 1, 1995, options for an aggregate of 422,473 shares were
exercisable under all plans and options for an aggregate of 1,732,850 shares

Under an Incentive Restricted Stock Plan adopted in 1990 and amended in 1993,
up to 875,000 shares of common stock may be granted or sold at prices less
than the prevailing market price to officers, key employees and others subject
to restrictions as to transfer or sale.  During 1993, 327,000 shares of common
stock were granted under this plan.  At January 1, 1995, 297,500 shares were
available for future grants.  Shares under the plan are generally subject to
restrictions as to transfer which lapse ratably in three and five equal annual
installments commencing one year from the date of grant, provided that
recipients are continuously employed by the Company.  Additional paid-in
capital is net of unearned compensation related to restricted stock of $2.7
million, $5 million and $1.7 million for 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.

Under SFAS 109, assets and liabilities acquired in purchase business
combinations are assigned their fair values, and deferred taxes are provided
for lower or higher tax bases.  In adopting the provisions of SFAS 109,
effective January 4, 1993, the Company adjusted the carrying amounts of its
purchase business acquisitions.  Such adjustments reduced goodwill by
approximately $7 million with a corresponding adjustment to deferred taxes. 
The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle on income before
income taxes and on income (loss) before extraordinary charge was not
material.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities follow:

and the Federal statutory rate under SFAS 109 do not differ significantly from

Note 8.  Benefit Plans for Permanent Employees

The Company maintains qualified and non-qualified defined contribution
retirement plans for its salaried employees which provide for a partial match
of employee savings under the plans and for discretionary profit sharing
contributions based on employee compensation.  The Company also maintains a
non-qualified defined benefit retirement program for key employees and
officers which provides supplemental retirement benefits funded in part by
profit sharing contributions.

Company contributions under the above plans were approximately $4.4 million
in both 1994 and 1993, and $4 million in 1992.

Note 9.  Business Segment Information

The Company operates in two business segments:

Note 10.  Lease Commitments

The Company rents certain properties under noncancellable, long-term operating
leases which expire at various dates.  Certain of these leases require
additional payments for taxes, insurance and maintenance and, in many cases,
provide for renewal options.  Rent expense, in millions, under all leases was
$37 in 1994, $40 in 1993, and $36 in 1992.

Future minimum rental commitments for all noncancellable leases having a
remaining term in excess of one year at January 1, 1995, follow:

    1995                    $ 29,565
    1996                    $ 21,573
    1997                    $ 15,400

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
                       ------------------------------

To the Board of Directors of Olsten Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OLSTEN
CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES as of January 1, 1995 and January 2, 1994 and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 1, 1995. 
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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards 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. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of OLSTEN
CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES at January 1, 1995 and January 2, 1994 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended January 1, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
