     On May 1, 2001, Hall, Kinion & Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), announced first quarter financial results for the quarter
ending March 31, 2001, including certain one-time charges and plans for a stock
repurchase program.  A copy of the Company's press release is attached as
Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

     The press release filed as an exhibit to this report includes "safe harbor"
language pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as
amended, indicating that certain statements concerning, among other things, the
Company's expected financial performance for the first fiscal quarter and the
year 2001 contained in the press release are "forward-looking" rather than
"historic."  The Company disclaims any obligation to update forward-looking
statements contained in the press release.  The press release also states that a
more thorough discussion of certain factors which may affect the Company's
operating results is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 and other filings made with the
Securities & Exchange Commission which are on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and available at the Securities and Exchange Commission's
