              INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM
                              FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the Stockholders
Volt Information Sciences, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet
of Volt Information Sciences, Inc. and subsidiaries as of August 1, 1997, and
the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine and three
month periods ended August 1, 1997 and August 2, 1996, and the related condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended August 1,
1997 and August 2, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed for the full
year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements referred to
above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Volt Information Sciences, Inc. as
of November 1, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash
flows for the year then ended, not presented herein; and in our report dated
January 8, 1997, we expressed an unqualified opinion on these consolidated
financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 1, 1996, is
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.
