These financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules 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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for 5 plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1998 does not disclose the number of units of certain of the Plan's investments. Also, the schedule of reportable transactions does not disclose the number of transactions for certain investments for the year ended December 31, 1998. Disclosure of this information is required by the Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN The following brief description of the Norrell Corporation 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the plan agreement for more complete information. The Plan is a defined contribution salary deferral and profit-sharing plan for the exclusive benefit of eligible employees of Norrell Corporation (the "Company"). An employee is eligible to participate on the next entry date following the date he/she completes 30 days of qualifying service and attains age 18. The entry date is the first day of each calendar month during the period in which the Plan remains in effect. Participants may contribute, via payroll deductions, up to 15% of their before-tax compensation, as defined, subject to certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), into any one of the seven existing investment options or a combination thereof in increments of 1%. The participant investment elections may be changed quarterly. For each $1 of annual compensation deferred up to the first 4% of annual compensation, the participant will receive a matching company contribution of $.50. All participant and employer matching contributions are 100% participant-directed. The Company may, at its discretion, make an annual contribution, all of which is invested in the Norrell Stock Fund. Under the terms of the Plan, participants are eligible for distribution of their accounts upon the earlier of death, retirement, disability, or termination of employment. Distributions of a participant's deferral account, as defined, may also be made for certain defined hardships. The Plan provides each participant with an individual account, which reflects the participant's interest in the fund resulting from contributions, interest, dividends, realized and unrealized gains, and other sources of income, less realized and unrealized losses, expenses, and other distributions which are attributable to the interest of each participant. Contributions attributable to a specific participant are recorded to his/her account. The Company's discretionary contributions are allocated annually based on the ratio of the participant's annual salary to the total annual salaries of all participants who are eligible to receive an allocation and are made only to the named stock fund. In 1998 and 1997, the Company contributed $0 and $282,143, respectively, to the Plan. Income or loss of the individual funds shall be allocated to each participant based on the ratio of each 17 participant's average account balance to the average total account balances of all participants. Effective December 31, 1998, the Comtex 401(k) Savings Plan, the W.E. Carson Associates, Inc. 401(k) Plan, and the Valley Temporary Services, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan were merged into the Plan.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted -5- 21 accounting principles requires the Plan's management to use estimates and assumptions that affect the accompanying financial statements and disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS The value for the Plan's investments in the registered investment companies is determined by the trustee based on the quoted market unit value for each fund, which, in turn, is based on the market value of the investments' underlying assets. Investment in company common stock as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 is stated at market value as determined by the trade price on the New York Stock Exchange. American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 94-4, "Reporting of Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Pension Plans," requires fair value reporting of investment contracts that are not fully benefit-responsive. The pooled separate account of the Plan was previously reported at contract value. The Plan has adopted this SOP effective January 1, 1996, and because the Plan's pooled separate account is not fully responsive, it is required to be reported at fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows at a market interest rate for investments with similar characteristics. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES The Company pays all administrative expenses of the Plan. RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. 3. RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO FORM 5500 The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements to the Form 5500 for the year ended December 31, 1998: Net assets available for benefits per the financial statements $48,145,836 Amounts allocated to withdrawing participants 0 ----------- Net assets available for benefits per the Form 5500 $48,145,836 =========== -6- 22 The following is a reconciliation of benefits paid to participants per the financial statements to the Form 5500 as of December 31, 1998: Benefits paid to participants per the financial statements $5,346,328 Add amounts allocated to withdrawing participants at December 31, 1998 0 Less amounts allocated to withdrawing participants at December 31, 1997 (58,486) ---------- Benefits paid to participants per the Form 5500 $5,287,842 ========== Amounts allocated to withdrawing participants are recorded on the Form 5500 for benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment prior to December 31, 1998 but not yet paid as of that date. 4.

TAX STATUS The Plan obtained its latest determination letter dated August 12, 1997 in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as amended and restated, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC; however, the Plan was amended effective December 31, 1998 and 1997. Management believes that the Plan is designed and was being operated in accordance with applicable provisions of the IRC as of December 31, 1998 and 1997. 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On March 24, 1999, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Interim Services, Inc. ("Interim"). The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of the Company with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Interim. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the shareholders of the Company will receive 0.9 share of Interim common stock for each Norrell Corporation common -7- 23 share. Therefore, all Norrell Corporation common stock held in the Plan will become Interim common stock. The transaction is expected to close in July 1999. -8- 24 SCHEDULE I Page 1 of 2 NORRELL CORPORATION 401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN ITEM 27A--SCHEDULE OF ASSETS HELD FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES DECEMBER 31, 1998 IDENTITY OF ISSUER, BORROWER, LESSOR, OR SIMILAR PARTY DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENT UNITS - ------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------- --------- * PARTICIPANT NOTES RECEIVABLE Notes receivable, interest rate of 9.5% N/A * CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Charter Guaranteed Long-Term Fund, interest rate of 8,729,632 5.6% CIGNA Pooled Separate Fidelity Asset Manager Fund 93,126 CIGNA Pooled Separate Fidelity Advisor Growth 153,079 Opportunity Fund CIGNA Pooled Separate American Century-20th Century 73,489 Ultra Fund CIGNA Pooled Separate Warburg Pincus International 90,870 Equity Fund CIGNA Pooled Separate Lazard Small Cap Fund 38,714 * NATIONAL FINANCIAL SERVICES Vanguard Index 500 Fund 27,684 CURRENT IDENTITY OF ISSUER, BORROWER, LESSOR, OR SIMILAR PARTY COST VALUE - ------------------------------------------------------ ------------ ------------ * PARTICIPANT NOTES RECEIVABLE $ 82,121 $ 82,121 * CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 8,729,632 8,729,632 1,996,445 2,473,182 7,899,561 11,726,247 2,901,339 3,906,194 2,162,446 2,100,673 817,166 787,421 * NATIONAL FINANCIAL SERVICES 2,723,150 3,235,526 25 SCHEDULE I Page 2 of 2 IDENTITY OF ISSUER, BORROWER, LESSOR, OR SIMILAR PARTY DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENT UNITS - ------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------- --------- * FIDELITY INVESTMENT SERVICES COMPANY Fidelity Retirement Money Market 1,024,920 Fidelity Investment Grade Bond 10,489 Fidelity Intermediate Bond 6,252 Fidelity Fund 18,759 Fidelity Growth and Income Fund 23,402 Fidelity Contrafund 16,104 Fidelity Balanced Fund 15,313 * THE PUTNAM FUND GROUP Growth Funds 57,216 Growth and Income Funds 16,235 Money Market Fund 27,361 * MANUALIFE FINANCIAL Valley Temporary Services Funds 2,652 * NORRELL CORPORATION Norrell common stock 562,793 CURRENT IDENTITY OF ISSUER, BORROWER, LESSOR, OR SIMILAR PARTY COST VALUE - ------------------------------------------------------ ---------- ---------- * FIDELITY INVESTMENT SERVICES COMPANY $1,024,920 $1,024,920 (a) 94,428 (a) 72,710 (a) 791,188 (a) 1,285,610 (a) 1,142,298 (a) 252,957 * THE PUTNAM FUND GROUP 1,007,541 1,213,150 208,398 220,742 27,361 27,361 * MANUALIFE FINANCIAL (a) 241,567 * NORRELL CORPORATION 7,635,097 8,344,578 *Denotes a party in interest.
