  </B></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV STYLE="text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">On August 9, 2002, Hall, Kinion &amp; Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation (&#147;Hall Kinion&#148;),
  through a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Hall Kinion, OnStaff Acquisition Corp. (&#147;Subsidiary&#148;), a Delaware corporation, acquired (collectively, the &#147;Acquisitions&#148;) certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of
  OnStaff, a privately-held group of companies that provides temporary and full-time employees in the real estate, finance and healthcare industries through its 28 office locations in 12 states and its online recruiting and placement websites. The
  OnStaff group of companies are: OnStaff, Inc., a California corporation (&#147;OSI&#148;), Healthcare Staffing Resources, Inc., a California corporation (&#147;HCSR&#148;), and Boardnetwork.com, Inc., a California corporation (&#147;BNI&#148;).
  </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV STYLE="text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">The Acquisitions were accomplished pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreements with OSI, HCSR, BNI and their
  shareholders, all dated August 9, 2002 (the &#147;Agreements&#148;). The Subsidiary acquired the assets, net of certain liabilities, in exchange for $18.1&nbsp;million in cash and 363,057 shares of common stock of Hall Kinion, valued at $2.2
  million. Of the total consideration, $0.5&nbsp;million in cash and 108,917 shares of stock are being held in an escrow account. The cash held in the escrow account will be released to cover potential tax liabilities, if any, of the sellers. The
  stock held in the escrow account will be held for up to 18&nbsp;months following the closing of the transactions for certain indemnification obligations of sellers upon the terms and conditions described in the Agreements. In addition, Hall Kinion
  agreed to pay OSI, HCSR and BNI up to $13.0 million over three years (the &#147;Earn-Out Payments&#148;), with the actual amount of the Earn-Out Payments being contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones as set forth in the Agreements. The
  source of the cash portion of the consideration was $8.1 million of cash on hand and $10.0&nbsp;million from Hall Kinion&#146;s line of credit through Comerica Bank. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV
  STYLE="text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">The Acquisitions will be accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The purchase
  price of $22.0 million includes cash of $18.1 million and common stock valued at $2.2&nbsp;million, both distributed and held in escrow, as well as transaction costs estimated at $1.7 million. Prior to the Acquisitions, none of OSI, HCSR or BNI had
  any relationship with Hall Kinion or its officers or directors. Hall Kinion&#146;s present intent is to continue such businesses in substantially the same manner as prior to the Acquisitions. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV STYLE="text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">Hall Kinion also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with OSI, HCSR and BNI, providing piggyback registration rights covering the shares of Hall Kinion common
  stock issued in the Acquisitions. The registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement terminate on the earlier of (i) August 9, 2003 or (ii) with respect to any holder of securities registrable under the Registration Rights Agreement, at
  such time as such holder is able to dispose its registrable securities pursuant to Rule 144. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV STYLE="text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">Acquisitions involve
  numerous risks including, but not limited to, difficulties in the assimilation of the operations of the acquired companies, the diversion of management&#146;s attention from other business concerns, and the potential loss of key employees of the
  acquired companies. Achieving the anticipated benefits of the Acquisitions will depend in part upon whether the integration of the companies&#146; businesses and operations are accomplished in an efficient and effective manner, and there can be no
  assurance that this will occur. The difficulties of such integration may be increased by the necessity of coordinating geographically separated organizations and by the demands associated with integrating service organizations. The integration of
  certain operations in connection with the Acquisitions will require the dedication of management resources that may distract attention from the day-to-day business of Hall Kinion. The inability of management to successfully integrate the operations
  of the companies or any other company that Hall Kinion may acquire, could have a material adverse effect on the business and results of operations of Hall Kinion. </FONT></DIV>

  Item 2.
  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
  On August 9, 2002, Hall, Kinion & Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Hall Kinion"),
  through a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Hall Kinion, OnStaff Acquisition Corp. ("Subsidiary"), a Delaware corporation, acquired (collectively, the "Acquisitions") certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of
  OnStaff, a privately-held group of companies that provides temporary and full-time employees in the real estate, finance and healthcare industries through its 28 office locations in 12 states and its online recruiting and placement websites. The
  OnStaff group of companies are: OnStaff, Inc., a California corporation ("OSI"), Healthcare Staffing Resources, Inc., a California corporation ("HCSR"), and Boardnetwork.com, Inc., a California corporation ("BNI").
  The Acquisitions were accomplished pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreements with OSI, HCSR, BNI and their
  shareholders, all dated August 9, 2002 (the "Agreements"). The Subsidiary acquired the assets, net of certain liabilities, in exchange for $18.1 million in cash and 363,057 shares of common stock of Hall Kinion, valued at $2.2
  million. Of the total consideration, $0.5 million in cash and 108,917 shares of stock are being held in an escrow account. The cash held in the escrow account will be released to cover potential tax liabilities, if any, of the sellers. The
  stock held in the escrow account will be held for up to 18 months following the closing of the transactions for certain indemnification obligations of sellers upon the terms and conditions described in the Agreements. In addition, Hall Kinion
  agreed to pay OSI, HCSR and BNI up to $13.0 million over three years (the "Earn-Out Payments"), with the actual amount of the Earn-Out Payments being contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones as set forth in the Agreements. The
  source of the cash portion of the consideration was $8.1 million of cash on hand and $10.0 million from Hall Kinion's line of credit through Comerica Bank.
  The Acquisitions will be accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The purchase
  price of $22.0 million includes cash of $18.1 million and common stock valued at $2.2 million, both distributed and held in escrow, as well as transaction costs estimated at $1.7 million. Prior to the Acquisitions, none of OSI, HCSR or BNI had
  any relationship with Hall Kinion or its officers or directors. Hall Kinion's present intent is to continue such businesses in substantially the same manner as prior to the Acquisitions.
  Hall Kinion also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with OSI, HCSR and BNI, providing piggyback registration rights covering the shares of Hall Kinion common
  stock issued in the Acquisitions. The registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement terminate on the earlier of (i) August 9, 2003 or (ii) with respect to any holder of securities registrable under the Registration Rights Agreement, at
  such time as such holder is able to dispose its registrable securities pursuant to Rule 144.
  Acquisitions involve
  numerous risks including, but not limited to, difficulties in the assimilation of the operations of the acquired companies, the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns, and the potential loss of key employees of the
  acquired companies. Achieving the anticipated benefits of the Acquisitions will depend in part upon whether the integration of the companies' businesses and operations are accomplished in an efficient and effective manner, and there can be no
  assurance that this will occur. The difficulties of such integration may be increased by the necessity of coordinating geographically separated organizations and by the demands associated with integrating service organizations. The integration of
  certain operations in connection with the Acquisitions will require the dedication of management resources that may distract attention from the day-to-day business of Hall Kinion. The inability of management to successfully integrate the operations
  of the companies or any other company that Hall Kinion may acquire, could have a material adverse effect on the business and results of operations of Hall Kinion.
