         On October 30, 2001, Hall, Kinion & Associates, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), announced third quarter financial results for the
quarter ended September 30, 2001. 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

things, the Company's expected financial performance for the second fiscal
quarter 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
