1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements of Kelly Services, Inc. (the Company, Kelly, we or us) have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and notes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. All adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, have been made which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the
interim periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2007, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2008 (the 2007
consolidated financial statements).
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In addition, the
consolidated financial statements include, from the date of acquisition, the Companys majority-owned subsidiaries in China acquired during the second quarter of 2007. The Company consolidates the Chinese companies and records an adjustment in
other (expense) income, net in the Companys statement of earnings to reflect the portion of the earnings, net of tax, attributable to the minority shareholders. The accumulated minority interest from the date of acquisition is included in
other long-term liabilities on the Companys balance sheet. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. The results of operations related to the 2006 fourth quarter disposition of Kelly Staff Leasing and the 2007 first quarter disposition of Kelly Home Care are separately stated
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of earnings for the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2008 and April 1, 2007. The assets and liabilities of these discontinued operations have not been reclassified in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets and related notes. The cash flows from discontinued operations are not separately classified in the Companys consolidated statements of cash flows. Additionally, the Company has realigned its operations into seven

2. Fair Value Measurements
Effective
December 31, 2007, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. FAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirement for fair value measurements. The three
fair value hierarchy levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for identical assets
or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices in markets that are not active or model
inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 inputs to the
valuation methodology are based on prices or valuation techniques that are unobservable.
The following table presents the assets carried at fair value as of
March 30, 2008 on the consolidated balance sheet by fair value hierarchy level, as described above. The Company carried no liabilities at fair value as of March 30, 2008.

2. Fair Value Measurements (continued)
For assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, the Company has elected to defer the FAS 157 disclosure requirements until fiscal 2009, consistent with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards
Board Staff Position No. 157-2 (FSP No. 157-2). The effect of such adoption at that time is not expected to be material.
Effective
December 31, 2007, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (FAS 159).
FAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value. An entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date,
and recognize upfront costs and fees related to those items in earnings as incurred and not deferred. Upon adoption, the Company has elected not to measure its eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value.
3. Acquisitions
During the first quarter of 2008, $7,528 was paid related primarily to
the 2007 acquisition of access AG, a specialized recruitment services company headquartered in Germany with operations in Austria. Of this amount, $4,267 represents the payment of a previously recorded liability, and the remaining $3,261 represents
adjustments to the initial purchase price. The table below summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities adjusted during the first quarter of 2008:

additional goodwill.

3. Acquisitions (continued)
As part
of the Companys strategy to diversify and expand its global operations, Kelly completed three acquisitions during the first quarter of 2007: Talents Czech s.r.o. and Talents Polska Spolka z o.o., permanent placement and executive search firms
with operations in the Czech Republic and Poland; CGR/seven LLC, a creative services staffing firm located in New York; and the remaining shares of Tempstaff Kelly, Inc. (Tempstaff Kelly), a joint venture originally created with Sony
Corporation and Tempstaff, one of the largest Japanese staffing companies. With the purchase of the remaining 51% ownership interest, Kelly increased its ownership interest to 100% and began directing all Tempstaff Kelly operations effective
April 1, 2007.
During the first quarter of 2007, in connection with the purchase of the remaining 51% interest in Tempstaff Kelly, the Company obtained
short-term financing utilizing an $8,223 yen-denominated credit facility, $1,731 of which was used to pay off an existing working capital loan.
The following table
summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the above acquisitions. The purchase price below also reflects the cost of the 49% interest in Tempstaff Kelly acquired in prior periods.

the Companys strategy of reviewing existing operations, selectively divesting non-core assets and reinvesting the proceeds in strategic growth initiatives.
In
accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the gain recognized in conjunction with the sale of KHC, as well as the results of
operations for the current and prior periods, have been reported as discontinued operations in the Companys statements of earnings. Additionally, the results of operations for Kelly Staff Leasing (KSL), which the Company sold in
the fourth quarter of 2006, have also been reported as discontinued operations in the Companys statements of earnings. The components of earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax are as follows:

9. Income Taxes
The effective
income tax rate on continuing operations in the first quarter of 2008 was 38.0%, compared to 52.9% for the first quarter of 2007. The majority of the change was related to 2007 restructuring costs in the U.K. which were not currently deductible, and
foreign tax credits related to the Companys Russian subsidiary recognized in the first quarter of 2008.
In the first quarter of 2008, the Company determined
that earnings in the Russian subsidiary would no longer be permanently reinvested. As a result, the Company recorded a net U.S. federal income tax benefit on the $6,227 current and cumulative earnings of the Russian subsidiary.
10. Contingencies
In November 2003, an action was commenced in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, Enron Corp. (Enron) v. J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., et al., against approximately 100 defendants, including Kelly Properties, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kelly Services,
Inc., who invested in Enrons commercial paper. The Complaint alleges that Enrons October 2001 buyback of its commercial paper is a voidable preference under the bankruptcy laws, constitutes a fraudulent conveyance, and that the Company
received prepayment of approximately $10,000, $5,000 of which is related to Enron commercial paper purchased by the Company from Lehman Brothers or its affiliate, Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. (Lehman), and $5,000 of which was purchased
by the Company from Goldman Sachs & Co. Solely to avoid the cost of continued litigation, the Company has reached a confidential settlement with Enron, Lehman and certain other defendants of all claims arising from the Companys
purchase of Enron commercial paper from Lehman in 2007. The Company continues to vigorously defend the remaining claims arising from the purchase of Enron commercial paper from Goldman Sachs & Co. The Company believes there are meritorious
defenses to these remaining claims but is unable to predict the outcome of the matter.
The Company is the subject of a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of
employees working in the State of California. The claims in the lawsuit relate to alleged misclassification of personal attendants as exempt and not entitled to overtime compensation under state law and alleged technical violations of a state law
governing the content of employee pay stubs. On April 30, 2007, the Court certified two sub-classes that correspond to the claims in the case. Kelly is currently preparing motions for summary judgment on both certified claims and will continue
to vigorously defend the lawsuit. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims but is unable to predict the outcome of the proceedings.

10. Contingencies (continued)
On
February 5, 2003 an action was commenced in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of California by Lynn Noyes against Kelly Services, Inc. alleging religious discrimination. In August 2004 Kellys Motion for Summary Judgment
was granted dismissing the complaint. Noyes appealed and the case was remanded for trial. On April 4, 2008 a jury returned a verdict against Kelly Services, Inc. finding the Company liable for religious discrimination. The verdict is comprised
of: $150 for economic damages; $600 for emotional distress damages and $5,900 in punitive damages. The Company is currently pursuing post trial motions to overturn the verdict or to reduce the punitive damages. If these efforts are unsuccessful, the
Company will exhaust all appellate remedies.
The Company is also subject to various legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business.
These legal proceedings and claims are subject to many uncertainties, the outcome of which is not predictable with assurance and it is reasonably possible that some matters could be decided unfavorably to the Company.
Although the amount of the ultimate liability with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained, the Company believes that any resulting liability will not be material to the
financial condition of the Company.
11. Segment Disclosures
The
Companys segments are based on the organizational structure for which financial results are regularly evaluated by the Companys chief operating decision maker to determine resource allocation and assess performance. Each reportable
segment is managed by its own management team and reports to executive management. Effective with the first quarter of 2008, the Company realigned its operations into seven reporting segments (1) Americas Commercial, (2) Americas
Professional and Technical (Americas PT), (3) Europe, Middle East and Africa Commercial (EMEA Commercial), (4) Europe, Middle East and Africa Professional and Technical (EMEA PT), (5) Asia Pacific
Commercial (APAC Commercial), (6) Asia Pacific Professional and Technical (APAC PT) and (7) Outsourcing and Consulting Group (OCG).
The Commercial business segments within the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions represent traditional office services, contract-center staffing, marketing, electronic assembly, light industrial and, in the U.S. and Canada,
substitute teachers. The PT segments encompass a wide range of highly skilled temporary employees, including scientists, financial professionals, attorneys, engineers, IT specialists and healthcare workers. OCG includes recruiting, human resource
management, vendor management and outplacement services. Corporate expenses that directly support the operating units have been allocated to the seven segments.
The
following table presents information about the reported revenue from services and earnings from operations of the Company for the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2008 and April 1, 2007. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the
current presentation. Segment data presented are net of intersegment revenues. Asset information by reportable segment is not presented, since the Company does not produce such information internally.

12. New Accounting Pronouncements
In
February, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FSP No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delays for one year the effective date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FAS
157), Fair Value Measurements, for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The delay is
intended to allow additional time to consider the effect of various implementation issues that have arisen, or that may arise, from the application of FAS 157, which became effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (and for
interim periods within those years). The requirements of FSP No. 157-2 will be effective for the Companys 2009 fiscal year and are not expected to be material.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (FAS 141(R)). FAS 141(R) expands the definition of transactions and events that qualify as business combinations; requires that
the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at the fair value determined on the acquisition date and changes thereafter be reflected in earnings, rather than goodwill; changes the recognition timing for restructuring
costs; and requires acquisition costs to be expensed as incurred. Adoption of FAS 141(R) is required for combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption and retroactive application of FAS
141(R) to fiscal years preceding the effective date are not permitted.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest
in Consolidated Financial Statements (FAS 160). FAS 160 re-characterizes minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries as non-controlling interests and requires the classification of minority interests as a component of equity.
Under FAS 160, a change in control will be measured at fair value, with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. The effective date for FAS 160 is for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption and retroactive
application of FAS 160 to fiscal years preceding the effective date are not permitted. We currently do not have significant minority interests in our consolidated subsidiaries.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (FAS 161). This statement is intended to
improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entitys derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. FAS 161
applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The effective date for FAS 161 is fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008,
with early application encouraged. We do not expect the adoption of FAS 161 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Executive
Overview
In the United States, Kellys largest market, the first quarter of 2008 was one of economic uncertainty, fueled by unstable credit markets, rising
oil prices, stagnant employment, a growing deficit and other assorted factors, all of which are taking a toll on nearly every industry, including the staffing industry. The employment picture failed to show signs of improvement during the quarter.
The Bureau of Labor statistics showed increasing job losses in both non-farm and temporary employment in the first quarter. The job losses, as well as the slowing economy, continue to significantly affect our business in the U.S.
Despite these influencing factors, our earnings from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2008 were $0.23 per share, an improvement over 2007. We attribute much of our
performance to our continued strategic focus on working to become more geographically diverse, increase our fee-based businesses, improve our margins, accelerate growth in professional and technical staffing, build on our promising outsourcing and
consulting services and effectively control costs, including better management of workers compensation.
During the first quarter, we completed our
organizational shift to newly defined geographic regions the Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and Asia Pacific (APAC), and began the practice of reporting our financial results by Commercial and
Professional and Technical (PT) within those groups. Our Staffing Alternatives businesses are now organized globally under our Outsourcing and Consulting Group, and is now reported separately.
These seven segments better define our business focus and support our strategy to become a truly global company. This expanded reporting will also enhance leadership
accountability in each segment and provide greater transparency and richer detail to our shareholders. This action also reflects the positive effects of our expansion into growing international markets, emphasis on increasing professional and
technical staffing, as well as focus on outsourcing and consulting services.
Results of Operations
First Quarter
Revenue from services in the first quarter of 2008 totaled
$1.4 billion, an increase of 2.8% from the same period in 2007. This was the result of an increase in average hourly bill rates of 8.7% (4.5% on a constant currency basis), partially offset by a decrease in hours worked of 7.0%. Fee-based income,
which is included in revenue from services, totaled $38.9 million, or 2.8% of total revenue, for the first quarter of 2008, an increase of 28.3% as compared to $30.3 million in the first quarter of 2007. Reflecting the economic slowdown in the U.S.
market, revenue for the quarter decreased in the Americas Commercial business segment. Revenue increased in each of the six other business segments.
The Easter
holiday took place during the first quarter in 2008, and the second quarter in 2007, resulting in fewer contributing workdays in the first quarter of 2008, as compared to the first quarter of 2007. We believe that the overall effect of the Easter
holiday on reported revenue for the first quarter was approximately 1%.
Compared to the first quarter of 2007, the U.S. dollar was weaker against many foreign
currencies, including the euro, the Australian dollar and the Canadian dollar. As a result, our consolidated U.S. dollar translated revenue was slightly higher than would have otherwise been reported. On a constant currency basis, first quarter
revenue decreased 1.2% as compared with the prior year. When we use the term constant currency, it means that we have translated financial data for 2008 into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that we used to
translate financial data for 2007. Management believes constant currency measurements are an important analytical tool to aid in understanding underlying operating trends without distortion due to currency fluctuations. The table below summarizes
the impact of foreign exchange adjustments on first quarter revenue:

Gross profit of $249.9 million was 9.0% higher than the gross profit of $229.2 million for the same period of the prior
year. The gross profit rate for the first quarter of 2008 was 18.0%, versus 17.0% for the first quarter of 2007. Compared to the prior year, the gross profit rate increased in both the Americas and EMEA Commercial and PT segments, as well as the OCG
segment, and decreased in both the APAC Commercial and PT business segments.
The improvement in the gross profit rate is primarily due to improved workers
compensation rates and growth in fee-based income. Fee-based income has a significant impact on gross profit rates. There are very low direct costs of services associated with fee-based income. Therefore, increases or decreases can have a
disproportionate impact on gross profit rates.
We regularly update our estimates of the ultimate costs of open workers compensation claims. As a result, we
reduced the estimated cost of prior year workers compensation claims by $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2008. This compares to a similar adjustment reducing prior year workers compensation claims by $3.1 million for the first
quarter of 2007.
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $236.9 million, an increase of 8.3% year over year. Selling, general and administrative
expenses expressed as a percentage of gross profit were 94.8% in the first quarter of 2008, a 0.6 percentage point decrease compared to the 95.4% rate in the first quarter of 2007. The majority of the growth in selling, general and administrative
expenses is in the EMEA, APAC and OCG segments, where the Company continues to make strategic investments. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2007 are $2.6 million of expenses related to the United
Kingdom (U.K.) restructuring actions.
During the first quarter of 2007, our U.K. operations closed 18 of the 22 branches scheduled for closure and
incurred $2.6 million of restructuring charges associated with these actions. These charges were reported as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the EMEA Commercial segment. The $2.6 million charge included $2.2 million
for facility exit costs and $0.4 million for accelerated depreciation of leasehold improvements and personal property.
Earnings from operations in the first quarter
of 2008 totaled $12.9 million, a 23.3% increase compared to earnings from operations of $10.5 million reported for the first quarter of 2007. Included in earnings from operations for the first quarter of 2007 are $2.6 million of expenses related to
the U.K. restructuring actions.
20
Other expense, net in the first quarter of 2008 was $0.1 million, compared to income of $0.7 million for the same period last year.
The change is primarily attributable to increased debt and lower average cash balances, as compared to last year.
The effective income tax rate on continuing
operations in the first quarter of 2008 was 38.0%, an improvement from last years rate of 52.9% for the first quarter. The majority of the improvement was related to 2007 restructuring costs in the U.K. which were not currently deductible, and
foreign tax credits recognized in the first quarter of 2008.
Earnings from continuing operations were $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $5.3
million in the first quarter of 2007. Included in earnings from continuing operations in 2007 are $2.6 million of expenses related to the U.K. restructuring actions.
Earnings from discontinued operations include the first quarter operating results, net of tax, for Kelly Home Care (KHC), which was sold in the first quarter of 2007, and Kelly Staff Leasing, which was sold in the fourth quarter
of 2006. Additionally, earnings from discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2007 include the $6.2 million gain, net of tax, on the sale of KHC. Earnings from discontinued operations totaled $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2008 and
$6.7 million in the first quarter of 2007. Earnings from discontinued operations for 2008 represent adjustments to liabilities retained as part of the sale agreements.
First quarter net earnings for 2008 totaled $8.2 million, a decrease of 30.9% as compared to last year. Basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2008 were $0.23, as compared to basic and
diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.14 for the first quarter of 2007.
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company realigned its operations
into seven reporting segments Americas Commercial, Americas PT, EMEA Commercial, EMEA PT, APAC Commercial, APAC PT and OCG. Corporate expenses that directly support the operating units have been allocated to all seven segments. Prior periods
were reclassified to conform with the current presentation.

Revenue from services in the Americas Commercial segment totaled $639.9 million in the first quarter of 2008, a 6.4%
decrease compared to the $684.1 million reported for the same period in 2007. This reflected a decrease in hours worked of 11.2%, partially offset by an increase in average hourly bill rates of 5.3% (3.9% on a constant currency basis). Fee-based
income totaled $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2008, a 6.5% decrease from the $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2007.
On a year-over-year basis, revenue
decreased 6.2% in January, 5.3% in February and 7.8% in March. We believe the effect of the shift in the Easter holiday on first quarter revenue for Americas Commercial was approximately 1%. Americas Commercial represented 46.1% of total Company
revenue in the first quarter of 2008 and 50.6% in the first quarter of 2007.
21
Americas Commercial earnings from operations totaled $22.2 million in the first quarter of 2008, as compared to first quarter
earnings of $23.1 million last year. The 0.1 percentage point increase in the operating margin reflected a 0.5 percentage point increase in the gross profit rate, partially offset by a 0.4 percentage point increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percent of revenue (expense rate as a percentage of revenues).
The increase in the gross profit rate reflected lower
workers compensation costs, as well as lower unemployment costs. As noted above, the Company revised its estimate of the cost of outstanding workers compensation claims and, accordingly, reduced expense in the first quarter. Of the total
$4.6 million adjustment booked in the first quarter of 2008, $4.0 million is reflected in the results of Americas Commercial. This compares to a similar adjustment of $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2007. Selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased by 3.5% compared to the prior year, due to a strong focus on controlling costs in this segment.

Revenue from services in the Americas PT segment for the first quarter of 2008 totaled $232.2 million, an increase of 2.0%
compared to the $227.6 million reported in the first quarter of 2007. This reflected an increase in average billing rates of 3.2%, partially offset by a decrease in hours worked of 1.2%. The acquisition of CGR/seven, a creative staffing business
acquired at the end of the first quarter of 2007, contributed 0.7% to the Americas PT revenue growth. Fee-based income totaled $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2008 and $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2007, an increase of 6.2%.
On a year-over-year basis, revenue increased 2.2% in January, 2.9% in February and 0.9% in March. We believe the effect of the shift in the Easter holiday on first quarter
revenue for Americas PT was approximately 1%. Americas PT revenue represented 16.7% of total Company revenue in the first quarter of 2008 and 16.9% in the first quarter of 2007.
Americas PT earnings from operations for the first quarter of 2008 totaled $14.1 million, an increase of 4.1% from the same period in 2007. The 0.1 percentage point increase in the operating margin reflected a 0.5 percentage
point improvement in the gross profit rate, partially offset by a 0.3 percentage point increase in the expense rate as a percentage of revenues.
The Americas PT
gross profit rate increased primarily due to increases in fee-based income, lower state unemployment costs and the acquisition CGR/seven. Americas PTs share of the reduction in workers compensation expense in the first quarter of 2008
was $0.4 million. This compares to a similar adjustment in the first quarter of 2007 of $0.2 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 4.6% compared to the prior year, due primarily to the acquisition of CGR/seven and
increased staffing costs related to adding permanent placement recruiters.

expenses increased 19.9% from the prior year, due to costs associated with branch openings made during the second through fourth quarters last year. Additionally, EMEA PT expenses increased as a result of the acquisition of Talents Technology in the

Translated U.S. dollar revenue from services in APAC PT for the first quarter of 2008 totaled $8.5 million, an 84.5%
increase compared to the $4.6 million reported in the first quarter of 2007. This resulted from a 40.6% increase in fee-based income and an increase in hours worked of 66.3%, combined with an increase in the translated U.S. dollar average hourly
bill rates of 18.2%. The increase in average hourly bill rates for APAC PT was due to a change in mix from countries with lower average bill rates to those with higher average bill rates. Fee-based income totaled $1.4 million in the first quarter of
2008 and $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2007. APAC PT revenue represented 0.6% of total Company revenue in the first quarter of 2008 and 0.3% in the first quarter of 2007.
On a constant currency basis, revenue increased by 63.5%, fee-based income increased 25.5% and average hourly bill rates increased 4.6% from the first quarter of 2007. On a year-over-year basis, constant currency revenue growth
by month was 64.1% in January, 61.7% in February and 64.6% in March. We believe the effect of the shift in the Easter holiday on first quarter constant currency revenue for APAC PT was approximately 2%.
The loss from operations for APAC PT for the first quarter was $0.2 million in 2008 and $0.1 million in 2007. The 4.2 percentage point decrease in the expense rate as a percentage
of revenues was partially offset by a 3.5 percentage point decrease in the gross profit rate, resulting in a 0.7 percentage point improvement in the operating margin. The decrease in the APAC PT gross profit rate for the first quarter of 2008 was
due to a change in the mix of traditional, hours-based business versus fee-based business. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 63.6%, due primarily to significant investments in this region, including costs associated with new
branches.

to the $38.2 million reported in the first quarter of 2007. Fee-based income totaled $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2008 and $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2007, an increase of 67.6%. On a year-over-year basis, revenue increased 42.9% in
January, 46.2% in February and 46.4% in March. OCG revenue represented 4.0% of total Company revenue in the first quarter of 2008 and 2.8% in the first quarter of 2007. Acquisitions last year contributed approximately 10% to OCG revenue growth.
25
HRfirst, Kelly Vendor Management and Kelly Management Services were the leading performers in revenue and earnings growth in OCG in
the first quarter of 2008. The Ayers Group reported a year-over-year revenue decline in the first quarter of 2008.
OCG earnings from operations for the first
quarter of 2008 totaled $1.8 million, a significant increase from earnings of $0.5 million in 2007. The OCG operating margin increased by 1.9 percentage points, compared to the prior year. This was driven by the 5.7 percentage point increase in the
gross profit rate, partially offset by the 3.7 percentage point increase in the expense rate as a percentage of revenues.
The OCG gross profit rate increased
primarily due to improved margins in the recruitment processing outsourcing unit, coupled with revenue growth in fee-based business units, such as Kelly Vendor Management. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 68.0% from the prior
year, due to investments to build out implementation and operations infrastructure.
Financial Condition
Kelly has financed its operations through cash generated by operating activities and available from revolving credit facilities. As highlighted in the Statements of Cash Flows,
the Companys liquidity and available capital resources are impacted by four key components: cash and equivalents, operating activities, investing activities and financing activities.
Cash and Equivalents
Cash and equivalents totaled $88 million at the end of the
first quarter of 2008, a decrease of $5 million from the $93 million at year-end 2007. As further described below, the Company generated $24 million of cash from operating activities, used $15 million of cash in investing activities and used $18
million in financing activities.
Operating Activities
In the first
quarter of 2008, the Company generated $24 million in cash from its operating activities, as compared to $14 million in the first quarter of 2007. This increase is due primarily to higher earnings from continuing operations.
Trade accounts receivable totaled $931 million at the end of the first quarter of 2008. Global days sales outstanding at the end of the first quarter of 2008 were 52 days,
compared to 51 days as of the end of first quarter in the prior year.
The Companys working capital position was $479 million at the end of the first quarter
of 2008 and at year-end 2007. The current ratio was 1.8 at both the end of the first quarter of 2008 and year-end 2007.
Investing Activities
In the first quarter of 2008, the Company used $15 million for investing activities, compared to $13 million in the first quarter of 2007. Capital
expenditures totaled $7 million for the first quarter of 2008 and $9 million for the first quarter of 2007.
Capital expenditures for 2008, which are primarily
related to the Companys information technology programs and branch openings, refurbishments and relocations, are expected to total approximately $45 million, compared to $46 million for 2007. This level reflects continued spending associated
with the implementation of the PeopleSoft payroll, billing and accounts receivable project.
26
The PeopleSoft payroll, billing and accounts receivable project is intended to cover the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, U.K. and
Ireland. Through 2007, the Company has implemented accounts receivable in all locations, and payroll and billing in the U.K. and Ireland. The Company expects to implement payroll in Canada during 2008. The Company expects to spend approximately $9
to $10 million in capital expenditures and approximately $7 to $8 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2008, bringing the total cost to approximately $79 to $81 million through 2008, of which approximately $56 to $57 million
will be capital expenditures and approximately $23 to $24 million will be selling, general and administrative expenses. The U.S. and Puerto Rico payroll implementations, and U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico billing implementations have been delayed
until 2010. The total cost to complete these implementations has not yet been determined.
During the first quarter of 2008, $7.5 million was paid related primarily
to the 2007 acquisition of access AG, a specialized recruitment services company headquartered in Germany with operations in Austria. Of this amount, $4.3 million represents the payment of a previously recorded liability, and the remaining $3.2
million represents adjustments to the initial purchase price.
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company sold the Kelly Home Care business for cash proceeds of
$12.5 million. The results of operations and the gain on sale are presented in discontinued operations in 2007.
At the end of the first quarter of 2007, the Company
purchased the remaining shares of Tempstaff Kelly, Inc., a joint venture originally created with Sony Corporation and Tempstaff, one of the largest staffing companies in Japan, for $2 million, net of cash received. With the purchase of the remaining
51% interest in Tempstaff Kelly, Tempstaff Kelly became a wholly owned, consolidated subsidiary of Kelly Services, Inc. as of April 1, 2007. Tempstaff Kelly is included in the APAC Commercial business segment subsequent to April 1, 2007.
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company acquired the net operating assets of Talents Technology, a permanent placement and executive search firm with
operations in the Czech Republic and Poland, for $3 million in cash. The transaction also includes additional contingent earnout payments of up to $1.6 million over the next three years, based primarily on the achievement of certain earnings
targets. Talents Technology is included in the EMEA PT business segment as of April 1, 2007.
At the end of the first quarter of 2007, the Company also acquired
the net operating assets of CGR/seven LLC, a creative staffing services firm that specializes in providing creative talent, for $12 million in cash at the date of acquisition and $1 million payable in each of the years 2008 and 2009, and possible
additional earnout payments of up to $2 million payable in each of the years 2008 and 2009, based primarily on the achievement of certain earnings targets. CGR/seven is included in the Americas PT business segment as of April 1, 2007.
Financing Activities
In the first quarter of 2008, the Company
used $18 million in financing activities and generated $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2007. Short-term debt totaled $48 million at the end of the first quarter of 2008, compared to $50 million at year-end 2007. At the end of the first quarter
of 2008, debt represented approximately 11.5% of total capital.

New Accounting Pronouncements
See
Note 12, New Accounting Pronouncements, in the Notes to Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of new accounting pronouncements.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
There are no material changes in the Companys obligations and commitments to make
future payments from those included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed February 13, 2008. The Company has no material, unrecorded commitments, losses, contingencies or guarantees associated with any related parties or
unconsolidated entities
.
Summary
The Companys
financial position remains strong. The Company expects to meet its cash requirements over at least the next 12 months, including the funding of the PeopleSoft payroll, billing and accounts receivable project and future acquisitions principally
through cash generated from operations, available cash and equivalents, committed unused credit facilities, public or private bonds or other sources appropriate to the size and nature of the acquisition.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this document
are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Act). Forward-looking statements include statements which are predictive in nature; which depend upon or refer to
future events or conditions; or which include words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, estimates, or variations or negatives thereof or by similar or
comparable words or phrases. In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance (including future revenues, earnings or growth rates), ongoing business strategies or prospects, and possible future Company actions that may be
provided by management are also forward-looking statements as defined by the Act. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions about the
Company, and economic and market factors in the countries in which the Company does business, among other things. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and the Company has no specific intention to update these statements.
Actual events and results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. The principal important
risk factors that could cause the Companys actual performance and future events and actions to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, competitive market pressures including pricing, changing
market and economic conditions, material changes in demand from large corporate customers, availability of temporary workers with appropriate skills required by customers, increases in wages paid to temporary workers, liabilities for client and
employee actions, foreign currency fluctuations, changes in laws and regulations (including federal, state and international tax laws), the Companys ability to effectively implement and manage its information technology programs, and the
ability of the Company to successfully expand into new markets and service lines. Certain risk factors are discussed more fully under Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of the Companys Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Kelly 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, which conduct business in their local currencies. These risks are partially mitigated by the impact of the Companys local
currency-denominated local borrowings, which mitigate 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 and other borrowings. A hypothetical fluctuation of 10% in market interest rates would not have a material impact
on 2008 first quarter earnings.
Marketable equity investments are stated at fair value and marked to market through stockholders equity, net of tax.
Impairments in value below historical cost, if any, deemed to be other than temporary, would be expensed in the statement of earnings.
The Company is exposed to
market risk as a result of its obligation to pay benefits under its nonqualified deferred compensation plan and its related investments in company-owned variable universal life insurance policies. The obligation to employees increases and decreases
based on movements in the equity and debt markets. The investments in mutual funds, as part of the company-owned variable universal life insurance policies, are designed to mitigate this risk with offsetting gains and losses.
Overall, the Companys holdings and positions in market risk-sensitive instruments do not subject the Company to material risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Companys
Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange
Act)) are effective.
Effective December 31, 2007, Michael E. Debs began serving as the Companys Chief Financial Officer on an interim basis, in
addition to his responsibility as Principal Accounting Officer.
There were no other changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the Companys most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Companys outstanding Class A common shares. The Company intends to repurchase shares under the program, from time to time, in the open market. The repurchase program has a term of 24 months. We may also reacquire shares outside the
