                                    PART I
                                    ------

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

     (a) General Development of Business. Registrant, a successor to the
         -------------------------------
business established by William R. Kelly in 1946, was incorporated under the
laws of Delaware on August 27, 1952. Throughout its existence, registrant has
been engaged in the business of providing staffing services to customers. During
the last fiscal year, registrant continued to provide staffing services to a
diversified group of customers.

     Registrant completed three acquisitions during 2000. The first was the
acquisition of Extra ETT in Spain, which specializes in staffing for the
automotive industry and expands the Registrant's global automotive staffing
services to three continents. The second was the acquisition of the ProStaff
Group, a leading Milwaukee, Wisconsin staffing company. ProStaff operates under
four brand names, including ProStaff Preferred, Accountants Preferred, HRfirst
and Connectivity IT. The third was the acquisition of the Business Trends Group,
which includes Business Trends Pte Ltd and BTI Consultants Pte Ltd, both
headquartered in Singapore, with offices in Southeast Asia.

     (b) Financial Information about Industry Segments. The Company divides its
         ---------------------------------------------
operations into three segments: (1) U.S. Commercial Staffing, (2) Professional,
Technical and Staffing Alternatives (PTSA) and (3) International. PTSA includes
the following: Kelly Scientific Resources, Kelly Healthcare Resources, Kelly
Assisted Living Services, Inc., Automotive Services Group, Kelly Engineering
Resources, Kelly Information Technology Resources, Kelly Law Registry, Kelly
Financial Resources, National Payroll Services, Kelly Management Services, Kelly
Staff Leasing, Inc., Kelly Human Resource Consulting and General Contractor
Services. The financial information concerning registrant is included in Item 8
in Part II of this filing.

     (c) Narrative Description of Business.
         ---------------------------------

         (i)   Principal Services Rendered. Registrant, and its subsidiaries,
               ---------------------------
which are service organizations, provide staffing services to a diversified
group of customers through offices located in major cities of North America
(United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Mexico), Europe (Belgium, Denmark,
France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom) and the Asia-Pacific region
(Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines and Singapore). These
services are generally furnished under the name of Kelly Services. U.S.
Commercial Staffing includes office services, merchandising, electronic
assembly, light industrial, call centers and educational staffing services. PTSA
includes technical skills related to engineering, information technology,
scientific, accounting and finance, legal, healthcare, human resource consulting
and management services. Staff leasing services are provided under the name of
Kelly Staff Leasing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of registrant. Home care
services to those who need help with their daily living needs and personal care
are furnished under the name of Kelly Assisted Living Services, Inc., which is a
wholly owned subsidiary of registrant. Registrant performs these staffing
services through its employees by assigning them to work on the premises of
registrant's customers.

     The staffing services furnished by registrant afford economies and
flexibility to its customers in meeting uneven or peak work loads caused by such
predictable factors as vacations, inventories, month-end activities, special
projects or new promotions and such non-predictable factors as illnesses or
emergencies. When work peaks occur which cannot be handled by the customer's
normal staff, the customer can temporarily supplement regular personnel by the
use of registrant's services. The cost and inconvenience to the customer of
hiring additional employees, including advertising, interviewing, screening,
testing and training are eliminated. Also, recordkeeping is simplified because
the customer pays an hourly rate, based on hours of service furnished by
registrant.

     Registrant serves a wide cross-section of customers from industry,
commerce, the professions, government and individuals. During recent years
approximately 200,000 customers, including the largest corporations in the
world, use registrant's services. There have been no significant changes in the
services rendered or in the markets or methods of distribution since the
beginning of registrant's fiscal year.

     Registrant operates through approximately 2,200 domestic and international
offices located in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Each
office provides the services of one or more of the divisions or subsidiaries and
is operated directly by the registrant.


                                       3



          (ii)   New Services. There are no new industry segments that the
                 ------------
registrant is planning to enter or new service areas that will require a
material investment of assets.

          (iii)  Raw Materials. Registrant is involved in a service business and
                 -------------
raw materials are nonexistent in the business.

          (iv)   Service Marks. Registrant is the owner of numerous service
                 -------------
marks, which are registered with the United States Patent and Trade Mark Office
and in foreign countries.

          (v)    Seasonal Business Implications. Registrant's business is not
                 ------------------------------
seasonal.

          (vi)   Working Capital. Registrant believes there are no unusual or
                 ---------------
special working capital requirements in the staffing services industry.

          (vii)  Customers. The business of registrant and its subsidiaries is
                 ---------
not dependent upon either a single customer or a limited number of customers.

          (viii) Backlog.  Backlog of orders is not material to the business of
                 -------
registrant.

          (ix)   Government Contracts.  Although registrant conducts business
                 --------------------
under various government contracts, that portion of registrant's business is not
significant.

          (x)    Competition. Registrant is one of the largest global suppliers
                 -----------
of staffing services. In the United States, there are approximately 100 national
competitors, and approximately 20,000 organizations locally compete in varying
degrees in different localities where registrant operates local offices. In
foreign markets there are several similar levels of global, national and local
competitors. The most significant competitive factors worldwide are geographic
coverage, breadth of service, service quality and price.

          (xi)   Research Activities.  Registrant's expenditure for research and
                 -------------------
the number of people involved are not material.

          (xii)  Environmental Matters.  Registrant is involved in a service
                 ---------------------
business and is not generally affected by federal, state and local provisions
regulating the discharge of materials into the environment.

          (xiii) Employees. Registrant and subsidiaries employ on a full time
                 ---------
basis approximately 1,400 persons at its headquarters in Troy, Michigan, and
approximately 7,700 persons in branch offices operated directly by registrant.
Registrant employed in the last fiscal year approximately 770,000 men and women
for temporary periods. As the employer of its temporary work force, registrant
is responsible for and pays Social Security, Medicare and health care taxes,
workers' compensation, unemployment compensation taxes, liability insurance and
other similar costs (or their equivalents outside the United States) and is
responsible for payroll deductions of Social Security, Medicare and income
taxes. Although the services may be provided in the office of the registrant's
customer, registrant remains the employer of its temporary employees with
responsibility for their assignment and reassignment.

     (d)  Foreign Operations. For information regarding sales, earnings from
          ------------------
operations and long-lived assets by domestic and foreign operations, reference
is made to the information presented in the Segment Disclosures note to the
consolidated financial statements presented in Item 8 in Part II of this report.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES.

     Registrant owns the premises in Troy, Michigan, from which its
headquarters, subsidiaries and divisional offices are presently operated.
Registrant purchased the original headquarters building in Troy, Michigan, in
1977 and has expanded operations into additional buildings that were purchased
in 1991, 1997 and 2001. The combined usable floor space for the headquarters
complex approximates 350,000 square feet, plus leased space nearby of 63,000
square feet. The buildings are in good condition, are considered to be adequate
for the uses to which they are being put and are in regular use. In addition,
registrant owns vacant land in Troy and northern Oakland County, Michigan, for
future expansion. Registrant's branch offices are conducted from premises which
are leased. A majority of the leases are for fixed terms, from one to five
years. Registrant owns virtually all office furniture and equipment used in its
headquarters building and branch offices.

(1) (In millions except per share amounts) 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 - ---------------------------------------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Sales of services $4,487.3 $4,269.1 $4,092.3 $3,852.9 $3,302.3 $2,689.8 Earnings before taxes 145.3 143.7 143.6 137.0 122.9 113.3 Net earnings 87.2 85.1 84.7 80.8 73.0 69.5 Per share data: Basic earnings per share 2.44 2.37 2.24 2.12 1.92 1.83 Diluted earnings per share 2.43 2.36 2.23 2.12 1.91 1.83 Dividends per share Classes A and B common 0.99 0.95 0.91 0.87 0.83 0.78 Working capital 288.5 284.9 293.4 363.6 336.6 316.0 Total assets 1,089.6 1,033.7 964.2 967.2 838.9 718.7
(1) Fiscal year included 53 weeks. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OF OPERATIONS. - ------------- Results of Operations 2000 versus 1999 Sales reached a record $4.487 billion in 2000, an increase of 5.1% compared to the $4.269 billion for 1999. Sales in the U.S. Commercial Staffing segment grew by 3.8% for the full year. Sales growth improved consistently from a decrease of 0.4% in the first quarter, to 2.0%, 5.8% and 7.8% growth in the second, third and fourth quarters, respectively. Professional, Technical and Staffing Alternatives (PTSA) sales grew by 12.3% compared to last year. Within the PTSA segment, growth was particularly strong in the science, healthcare and staff leasing business units. The strong U.S. dollar significantly weakened translated sales for the International segment. International sales grew by 1.6% as compared to 1999. However, on a constant currency basis, international sales growth was 9.9%. International sales represented 25% of total Company sales in 2000 and 1999. The 2000 gross profit rate averaged 17.7%, which was 0.2% lower than the 17.9% rate earned in 1999. This reflected an increase in the gross profit rate of PTSA, offset by lower rates in the U.S. Commercial and International segments. Selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage of sales were 14.4% as compared to 14.6% last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2000 included a pretax gain on the sale of undeveloped land of $8.6 million. Excluding the gain on the sale of land, the selling, general and administrative rate would have been 14.6%, consistent with the prior year. Additionally, the expense rate in 2000 reflected the elimination of Year 2000 Project costs, offset in part by increased depreciation expenses associated with the Company's technology investments. Earnings from operations totaled $145.7 million, a 1.2% increase from the $144.0 million reported for 1999. Earnings were 3.2% of sales as compared to 3.4% for 1999. 6 U.S. Commercial earnings decreased 4.2% in 2000, due to a continued shift to larger corporate account business, which negatively impacted gross margins and operating earnings. U.S. Commercial gross margins may continue to decrease in 2001 as the Company pursues its strategy of shifting the customer mix to a larger proportion of large corporate and national accounts. PTSA earnings increased 31.0% from 1999, reflecting sales growth of 12.3%, combined with a significant gross profit rate increase and favorable expense leverage. International earnings decreased 33.2% from 1999, reflecting the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation on international results. In addition, significantly lower operating results in the U.K. reflected the slowing economy and the costs associated with turnover of senior country management positions. Net interest expense was $409 thousand compared to $241 thousand last year. This reflected higher average borrowing levels and higher interest rates throughout the year. The effective income tax rate was 40.0% in 2000 as compared to 40.8% in 1999, reflecting continued reductions in the Company's consolidated state and local tax rate. Net earnings totaled a record $87.2 million in 2000, a 2.4% increase over 1999. The rate of return on sales was 1.9%, compared with last year's 2.0% rate. Basic earnings per share were $2.44 or 3.0% over last year. Diluted earnings per share for 2000 were $2.43, a 3.0% increase compared to $2.36 for 1999. Results of Operations 1999 versus 1998 Sales for the 52-week fiscal year reached $4.269 billion in 1999, an increase of 4.3% compared to the $4.092 billion for the 53-week fiscal year in 1998. Sales increased 5.6% when compared to an adjusted 52-week 1998 period. Sales in the U.S. Commercial Staffing segment declined slightly by 0.7% compared to the 53-week 1998, while PTSA sales grew by 8.4% compared to the prior year. International sales grew by 12.4% as compared to 1998. International sales represented 25% of total Company sales in 1999, as compared to 24% in 1998. The 1999 gross profit rate averaged 17.9%, which was consistent with the 17.9% rate earned in 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage of sales were 14.6% as compared to 14.4% in 1998. The increase in expenses as a percentage of sales was attributable to the Year 2000 Project expenses and increased depreciation associated with the deployment of the Oracle finance and administration systems, and proprietary front office branch automation technology. Earnings from operations totaled $144.0 million, a 2.4% increase from the $140.6 million reported for the 53-week 1998. Earnings were 3.4% of sales as compared to 3.4% for the 53-week period in 1998. Net interest expense was $0.2 million compared to prior year's net interest income of $3.0 million. The decrease was attributable to lower cash balances than in 1998, as a result of a 30% increase in capital expenditures, and $76 million utilized in the share repurchase program, which was completed midway through the fourth quarter of 1998. The effective income tax rate was 40.8%, slightly lower than prior year's 41.0% rate, reflecting reductions in the Company's consolidated state and local tax rate. Net earnings totaled $85.1 million in 1999, a 0.5% increase over the 53- week 1998. The rate of return on sales was 2.0%, compared with prior year's 2.1% rate. Basic earnings per share were $2.37 or 5.8% over 1998. Diluted earnings per share for 1999 were $2.36, a 5.8% increase compared to $2.23 for the 53-week 1998. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash and short-term investments totaled $46 million at the end of 2000, down from $60 million at year-end 1999. Accounts receivable totaled $632 million at year end as compared to $602 million at year-end 1999. The global days sales outstanding were 51 days, which is consistent with 1999. Global DSO may increase in 2001 if U.S. economic growth slows. 7 Short-term debt totaled $58 million, which is up from $47 million last year, primarily reflecting an acquisition in Singapore. All short-term borrowings are foreign currency denominated and provide a partial balance sheet hedge against foreign exchange fluctuations. The Company's working capital position was $288 million at the end of 2000, an increase of $4 million from 1999 and decrease of $5 million from 1998. The current ratio was 1.6 in 2000 and 1999 and 1.7 in 1998. Capital expenditures for 2000 totaled $54 million, a planned decrease from the $77 million spent in 1999. For 2001, capital expenditures are expected to total between $50 to $55 million, and will be funded primarily by cash generated from operations. In addition, in January 2001, the Company purchased a fully leased commercial office building and the underlying land at a cost of $11.8 million. The building will be used for future business expansion. Assets totaled $1.090 billion in 2000 compared to $1.034 billion in 1999. In 1998, assets totaled $964 million. The return on average assets was 8.2% in 2000, 8.5% in 1999 and 8.8% in 1998. Stockholders' equity was $623 million in 2000, which represents 7.1% growth over 1999. In 1999, stockholders' equity was 8.3% above 1998. The return on average stockholders' equity was 14.5% in 2000, 15.2% in 1999 and 15.4% in 1998. Dividends paid per common share were $.99 in 2000, an increase of 4.2% over 1999 dividends of $.95 per share. Dividends in 1998 were $.91 per share. The Company's financial position remains strong. The Company continues to carry no long-term debt and expects to meet its growth requirements principally through cash generated from operations. Market Risk-Sensitive Instruments and Positions The Company does not hold or invest in derivative contracts. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk primarily due to its net investment in foreign subsidiaries. This risk is mitigated by the use of the Company's multi-currency line of credit. This credit facility is used to borrow in local currencies which mitigates the exchange rate risk resulting from foreign currency-denominated net investments fluctuating in relation to the U.S. dollar. In addition, the Company is exposed to interest rate risks through its use of the multi-currency line of credit. Overall, the Company's holdings and positions in market risk-sensitive instruments do not subject the Company to material risk. Adoption of the Euro A segment of the Company's information technology programs is devoted to changes necessary to deal with the introduction of a European single currency (the euro). The transition period for implementation is January 1, 1999 through January 1, 2002. The Company does not expect that introduction and use of the euro will result in any material effect on its results of operations. Forward-Looking Statements Except for the historical statements and discussions contained herein, statements contained in this report relate to future events that are subject to risks and uncertainties, such as: competition, changing market and economic conditions, currency fluctuations, changes in laws and regulations, the Company's ability to effectively implement and manage its information technology programs and other factors discussed in the report and in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results may differ materially from any projections contained herein. ITEM 8.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. (1) Fiscal year included 53 weeks. 17 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Kelly Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries (In thousands of dollars except share and per share items) 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Fiscal Year. The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to December 31. The three most recent years ended on December 31, 2000 (2000), January 2, 2000 (1999) and January 3, 1999 (1998). Principles of Consolidation. The financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Foreign Currency Translation. Substantially all of the Company's international subsidiaries use their local currency as their functional currency. Revenue and expense accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at average exchange rates, while assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are reported as accumulated foreign currency adjustments in stockholders' equity. Revenue Recognition. Revenue from sales of services is recognized as services are provided by the temporary, contract or leased employees. Revenue from permanent placement services is recognized at the time the permanent placement candidate begins full-time employment. Advertising Expenses. Advertising expenses, which are expensed as incurred, were $15,800, $15,000 and $14,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Equivalents. Cash and equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market. The Company considers securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and equivalents. Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, principally by the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range from 15 to 45 years for land improvements, buildings and building improvements, 5 years for equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements and 3 to 12 years for computer hardware and software. The Company capitalizes professional fees and internal payroll costs incurred in the development of software for internal use in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1. Depreciation expense was $37,200 for 2000, $33,900 for 1999 and $25,400 for 1998. Intangible Assets. Purchased intangible assets, other than goodwill, are valued at acquisition cost and are amortized over their respective useful lives (up to 10 years) on a straight-line basis. Goodwill derived from acquisitions is capitalized and amortized over periods ranging from 20 to 40 years. The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of its goodwill based upon projected future cash flows. Restatements. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. 2. Short-term Investments Short-term investments are classified as available for sale and include federal, state and local government obligations of approximately 40% in 2000, 60% in 1999 and 80% in 1998. The entire short-term investments balance in 2000 and 1998 was due within one year. Short-term investments due within one year totaled $5,800 in 1999, with the balance due within two years. The carrying amounts approximate market value at December 31, 2000, January 2, 2000 and January 3, 1999. Interest income was $2,770, $2,272 and $6,206, respectively, for the years 2000, 1999 and 1998. 18 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Kelly Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries (In thousands of dollars except share and per share items) 3. Land Sale On October 9, 2000, the Company sold undeveloped land for $10,309. The Company recognized a pretax gain of $8,567, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The proceeds from the sale of property were used on January 8, 2001 for the purchase of an office building that will be utilized by the Company for future expansion. For tax purposes, the transaction will be treated as an IRS Code Section 1031 tax-free exchange. 4. Intangibles and Other Assets Intangibles and other assets include goodwill of $86,900, $67,900 and $64,100 at year-ends 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Accumulated amortization of goodwill at 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $9,500, $7,900 and $6,900, respectively. Goodwill and other intangible amortization expense was $2,300 in 2000 and 1999 and $3,500 in 1998. Other assets include investments used to fund a nonqualified retirement plan and cash values of life insurance on the lives of certain officers and key employees. 5. Short-term Borrowings The Company has a committed $100 million, five-year multi-currency revolving credit facility to be used to fund working capital, acquisitions, and for general corporate purposes. The facility expires in 2003. The interest rate applicable to borrowings under the line of credit is 20 basis points over LIBOR and may include additional costs if the funds are drawn from certain countries. Borrowings under this arrangement were $50,382, $47,210 and $47,629 at year-ends 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. During September 2000, the Company arranged an $8,250 one-year credit facility to be used to fund its Singapore acquisition. At December 31, 2000, the outstanding balance totaled $7,457 at a weighted average interest rate of 3.7%. All of the borrowings are foreign currency denominated and support the Company's international working capital position. The carrying amounts of the Company's borrowings under the lines of credit described above approximate their fair values. Interest expense, interest payments and weighted average interest rates related to the short-term borrowings for 2000, 1999 and 1998 were as follows: 2000 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- ---------- Interest expense $ 3,179 $ 2,513 $ 3,207 Interest payments 2,672 2,567 3,956 Weighted average interest rate 5.5% 4.6% 5.3% 6. Capitalization The authorized capital stock of the Company is 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. Class A shares have no voting rights and are not convertible. Class B shares have voting rights and are convertible into Class A shares on a share-for-share basis at any time. Both classes of stock have identical rights in the event of liquidation. During 2000, the Company repurchased 227,500 shares of its Class A common stock. The total value of the Class A shares repurchased was $5,614. The Company also repurchased 5,050 shares of its Class B common stock during 2000 at a total cost of $123. During December 1999, the Company repurchased 22,500 shares of its Class A common stock. The total value of the Class A shares repurchased was $551. During 1998, the Company repurchased 2,500,000 shares of its Class A common stock in negotiated transactions from the William R. Kelly Trust. The total value of the Class A shares repurchased was $75,886. In addition, the Company repurchased 1,937 Class B shares at a total cost of $63. 19 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Kelly Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries (In thousands of dollars except share and per share items) 7. Earnings Per Share The reconciliations of earnings per share computations for the fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998 were as follows:

Stock options to purchase 2,309,000, 1,162,000 and 458,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average price per share of $27.30, $31.52 and $35.17 were outstanding during 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. The exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of the common shares and the options were therefore anti-dilutive. 8. Supplemental Cash Flow Information Changes in certain working capital components, as disclosed in the statements of cash flows, for the years 2000, 1999 and 1998 were as follows:

Income Taxes Pretax income (loss) for the years 2000, 1999 and 1998 was taxed under the following jurisdictions: 2000 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- ----------- Domestic $ 149,431 $ 134,572 $ 134,731 Foreign (4,155) 9,138 8,884 ---------- ---------- ----------- Total $ 145,276 $ 143,710 $ 143,615 ========== ========== =========== The provision for income taxes was as follows: 2000 1999 1998 ---------- ----------- ---------- Current tax expense: U.S. federal $ 43,151 $ 42,898 $ 47,599 U.S. state and local 10,840 11,500 12,000 Foreign 4,702 6,880 5,802 ---------- ----------- ---------- Total current 58,693 61,278 65,401 Total deferred (593) (2,678) (6,501) ---------- ----------- ---------- Total provision $ 58,100 $ 58,600 $ 58,900 ========== =========== ========== Deferred tax assets (liabilities) are comprised of the following: 2000 1999 1998 ---------- ----------- ---------- Depreciation and amortization $ (8,628) $ (6,420) $ (5,307) Employee compensation and benefit plans 26,055 23,276 22,845 Workers' compensation 19,127 22,352 22,428 Bad debt reserves 4,237 3,896 3,789 Loss carryforwards 6,271 4,793 3,453 Other, net 6,728 6,053 4,198 Valuation allowance (1,581) (3,118) (3,063) ---------- ----------- ---------- Total deferred tax assets 52,209 50,832 48,343 Total deferred tax liabilities (741) (1,044) (1,279) ---------- ----------- ---------- Total $ 51,468 $ 49,788 $ 47,064 ========== =========== ========== 21 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Kelly Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries (In thousands of dollars except share and per share items) The differences between income taxes for financial reporting purposes and the U.S. statutory rate are as follows:

The net tax effect of foreign loss carryforwards at December 31, 2000 totaled $6,271 which expire as follows: Year Amount ------------- --------- 2001-2003 $ - 2004-2006 320 2007-2010 1,261 No expiration 4,690 --------- Total $ 6,271 ========= The Company has established a valuation allowance for loss carryforwards related to certain foreign operations, which management believes may not be realizable. Provision has not been made for U.S. or additional foreign income taxes on an estimated $11,100 of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, which are permanently reinvested. If such earnings were to be remitted, management believes that U.S. foreign tax credits would largely eliminate any such U.S. and foreign income taxes. The Company paid income taxes of $58,800 in 2000, $53,400 in 1999 and $65,700 in 1998. 11. Performance Incentive Plan Under the Performance Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), the Company may grant stock options (both incentive and nonqualified), stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted awards and performance awards to key employees utilizing the Company's Class A stock. Stock options may not be granted at prices less than the fair market value on the date of grant, nor for a term exceeding 10 years. The Plan provides that the maximum number of shares available for grants is 10 percent of the outstanding Class A stock, adjusted for Plan activity over the preceding five years. Shares available for future grants at the end of 2000, 1999 and 1998 were 1,283,000, 946,000 and 1,213,000, respectively. The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for the Plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for incentive and nonqualified stock options. If compensation cost had been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the Plan consistent with the method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company's net income would have been reduced by $1,729, $1,487 and $1,135 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively; basic earnings per share would have been reduced by $.05 in 2000, $.04 in 1999 and $.03 in 1998; and diluted earnings per share would have been reduced by $.05 in 2000, $.04 in 1999 and $.03 in 1998. Since stock options generally become exercisable over several years and additional grants are likely to be made in future years, the pro forma amounts for compensation cost may not be indicative of the effects on net income and earnings per share for future years. 22 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Kelly Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries (In thousands of dollars except share and per share items) The fair value of each option included in the following tables is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: 2000 1999 1998 ---------- --------- ----------- Dividend yield 4.0 % 4.0 % 3.0 % Risk-free interest rate 5.9 % 5.7 % 5.3 % Expected volatility 29.0 % 30.0 % 31.0 % Expected lives 6 yrs 6 yrs 6 yrs A summary of the status of stock option grants under the Plan as of December 31, 2000, January 2, 2000 and January 3, 1999, and changes during the years ended on those dates, is presented as follows: Weighted Avg. 2000: Options Exercise Price ------------ -------------- Outstanding at beginning of year 1,592,000 $28.77 Granted 730,000 24.01 Exercised (2,000) 24.77 Cancelled (197,000) 27.15 ------------ Outstanding at end of year 2,123,000 $27.29 ============ Options exercisable at year end 763,000 $29.05 Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year $5.98 1999: Outstanding at beginning of year 1,330,000 $30.78 Granted 592,000 25.05 Exercised (32,000) 26.80 Cancelled (298,000) 30.54 ------------ Outstanding at end of year 1,592,000 $28.77 ============ Options exercisable at year end 552,000 $29.08 Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year $6.30 1998: Outstanding at beginning of year 1,160,000 $28.68 Granted 448,000 35.16 Exercised (104,000) 28.15 Cancelled (174,000) 29.67 ------------ Outstanding at end of year 1,330,000 $30.78 ============ Options exercisable at year end 404,000 $28.07 Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year $10.06 23 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Kelly Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries (In thousands of dollars except share and per share items) The following table summarizes information about options outstanding at December 31, 2000:

Restricted awards are issued to certain key employees and are subject to forfeiture until the end of an established restriction period. Restricted awards totaling 105,400, 87,000 and 14,500 shares were granted under the Plan during 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The weighted average grant date price of such awards was $24.02, $26.55 and $35.64 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Restricted awards outstanding totaled 165,000, 104,000 and 36,200 shares at year-ends 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and have a weighted average remaining life of 1.9 years at December 31, 2000. Under the Plan, performance awards may be granted to certain key employees, the payout of which is determined by the degree of attainment of objectively determinable performance goals over the established relevant performance period. No performance awards were granted during 2000 or 1999. Performance awards totaling 51,500 shares were granted under the Plan during 1998. The weighted average grant date prices of such awards were $34.94 for 1998. There were no unearned performance awards outstanding at December 31, 2000. Unearned performance awards outstanding at year-ends 1999 and 1998 were 70,000 and 115,200, respectively. Total compensation cost recognized for restricted and performance awards was $2,000, $1,000 and $2,000 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. As of December 31, 2000, no SARs have been granted under the Plan. 12. Lease Commitments The Company conducts its field operations primarily from leased facilities. The following is a schedule by fiscal year of future minimum lease commitments as of December 31, 2000: Fiscal year: 2001 $ 37,700 2002 29,100 2003 21,000 2004 13,600 2005 8,900 Later years 23,500 ------------ Total $ 133,800 ============ Lease expense for 2000, 1999 and 1998 amounted to $45,100, $43,100 and $38,600, respectively. 24 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Kelly Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries (In thousands of dollars except share and per share items) 13. Contingencies The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and liabilities which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance and it is reasonably possible that some of the foregoing matters could be decided unfavorably to the Company. Although the amount of the liability at December 31, 2000 with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained, the Company believes that any resulting liability will not be material to the financial statements of the Company at December 31, 2000. 14. Segment Disclosures The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Company's method of internal reporting, which disaggregates its business by segment.
