1. Accounting Policies
   --------------------

   The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Olsten
   Corporation (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of
   the Securities and Exchange Commission and, in the opinion of
   management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
   of results of operations, financial position and cash flows for each
   period presented.

2. Investment in Norsk Personal A.S.
   ----------------------------------

   On March 30, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 
   50.1 percent interest in Norsk Personal A.S. for $24.8 million. 
   At April 2, 1995, these funds were held in escrow pending Norwegian
   government approval of the transaction and are included in cash.

3. Long-Term Debt
   ---------------

   Interest expense, net, consists of interest on long-term debt for the
   quarter of $1.4 million in 1995 and $2.5 million in 1994 offset by
   interest income from investments of $759 thousand and $386 thousand,
   respectively.

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


Results of Operations
- ----------------------

Net income for the first quarter increased 30.4% to $18.7 million, or $.44
per share, compared to $14.3 million or $.35 per share.  The increases over
1994 resulted from increased profit growth in each of its businesses, as the
Company capitalized on continuing strong demand for Staffing Services and its
strategic positioning of HealthCare Services.

Revenues increased $38 million or 7% to $575.5 million for the first quarter,
as compared to $537.5 million for last year's first quarter.  Staffing 
Services reported increased revenues of 26%, reflecting gains in volume and
bill rates, as major corporate clients utilize the Company's services on an
increasing basis.  As anticipated, revenues for HealthCare Services declined 8%
primarily due to the sale in the fourth quarter of operations to Columbia HCA
and the resulting shift in certain Medicare business from company-owned to a
managed operation under the Hospital Contract Program.

Costs of services increased $27.1 million, or 7.2%, to $402.6 million for the
quarter due primarily to the growth in revenues.  As a percentage of
revenues, such expenses increased .1% to 70% for the quarter.  Gross
margins as a percentage of revenues decreased to 30% for the quarter from
30.1% for last year's first quarter primarily as a result of the faster rate of
growth of Staffing Services which operates at lower gross margins than
HealthCare Services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter
increased $5.4 million, or 4%, to $140.2 million from $134.7 million last year.
As a percentage of revenues, such expenses decreased .7% to 24.4% for the 
quarter as a result of the Company's ability to effectively manage operating
costs and the transfer of former company-owned HealthCare operations to a
managed business under the Hospital Contract Program.

Net interest expense was $646 thousand and $2.2 million for the first
quarters of 1995 and 1994, respectively.  This primarily reflects borrowing
costs on long-term debt offset by interest income on investments.  The
decrease resulted from repayment of debt in the second quarter of 1994 and
increased income on investments from improved concentration and investment
of operating cash.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- --------------------------------

Working capital at April 2, 1995, including $89.1 million in cash, was $297.3
million.  The Company has temporarily invested available funds primarily in
short-term, interest-bearing investments.  Included in cash was $24.8 million
held in escrow pending approval by the Norwegian government of the acquisition
of Norsk Personal A.S.





                                        6

The Company has a revolving credit agreement with six banks for up to $200
million in borrowings and letters of credit.  At April 2, 1995, there were no
borrowings and $65 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.
