1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 include the accounts of Korn/Ferry International
and all of its wholly and majority owned/controlled domestic and international subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). The consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
accruals and any other adjustments that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results for these periods. These financial statements have been prepared consistently with the accounting policies described in the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 (the Annual Report) and should be read together with the Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. The most significant areas that require management judgment are revenue recognition,
deferred compensation and the carrying values of goodwill and deferred income taxes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash equivalents to be only those investments which are highly liquid, readily convertible and mature within three months from the
date of purchase.

Available for Sale Securities

The Company considers its marketable securities as available-for-sale as defined in SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. These investments are recorded at
fair value and are classified as marketable securities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of October 31, 2006 and April 30, 2006. The changes in fair values, net of applicable taxes, are recorded as unrealized
gains (losses) as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders equity. Investments are made based on the Companys investment policy which restricts the types of investments that can be made.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company
has employee compensation plans under which various types of stock-based instruments are granted. These instruments, as more fully described below, principally include stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock,
and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).

Prior to May 1, 2006, the Company accounted for employee stock-based
compensation under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (APB No. 25), and related Interpretations, as
permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123). Under the recognition principles of APB No. 25, compensation expense
related to restricted stock and SARs was recognized in the Companys consolidated financial statements. However, APB No. 25 generally did not require the recognition of compensation expense for stock options because the exercise price of
these instruments was generally equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, and the related number of shares granted were fixed at that point in time. Compensation expense for the ESPP was not recognized since the
ESPP was considered non-compensatory under APB No. 25.

Effective May 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS
No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123 (R)). In addition to recognizing compensation expense related to restricted stock and SARs, SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the Company to recognize compensation
expense related to the estimated fair value of stock options and for purchases under the ESPP. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation expense recognized
subsequent to adoption includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of May 1, 2006, based on the values estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and
(b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to May 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair values estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Consistent with the
modified-prospective-transition method, the Companys results of operations for prior periods have not been adjusted to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

As a result of recognizing compensation expense for stock options and the ESPP pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), the Companys income before income taxes and net income for the three months
ended October 31, 2006, were $1,410 and $880 lower, respectively, than if the Company had continued to account for the stock-based compensation under APB No. 25. For the six months ended October 31, 2006, the Companys income
before income taxes and net income were $3,292 and $2,054 lower, respectively. In addition, basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the three months ended October 31, 2006 were $0.02 and $0.02 lower, respectively, than if the
Company had continued to account for the stock-based compensation under APB No.25. For the six months ended October 31, 2006, the Companys basic and diluted EPS were $0.05 and $0.04 lower, respectively.

The following table reflects the components of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Companys condensed consolidated statements of
income for the three and six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005:

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the grant date fair value of
employee stock options. The expected volatility reflects the consideration of the historical volatility in the Companys publicly traded instruments during the period the option is granted. The Company believes historical volatility in these
instruments is more indicative of expected future volatility than the implied volatility in the price of the Companys common stock. The expected life of the option is estimated using historical data to estimate the expected life of the
options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term approximating the expected term of the options. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company began using historical data to estimate
forfeiture rates applied to the gross amount of expense determined using the option valuation model. Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company recognized forfeitures as they occurred. There was no material impact upon adoption of SFAS
No. 123(R) between these methods of accounting for forfeitures. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model were as follows for the six months ended October 31:



|                                |  |                              |   |  |       |

|Expected volatility             |  | 48.05                        | % |  | 50.00 | %
|Risk-free interest rate         |  | 4.95                         | % |  | 3.83  | %
|Expected option life (in years) |  | 4.00                         |   |  | 4.50  |  
|Expected dividend yield         |  | 0.0                          | % |  | 0.0   | %

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of
traded options. The assumptions used in option valuation models are highly subjective, particularly the expected stock price volatility of the underlying stock. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair values of the options are
amortized over the options vesting periods.

Stock Option Plans

The Companys employee stock option plans provide for option grants designated as either nonqualified, incentive stock options or SARs. Options
granted to officers, non-employee directors and other key employees generally vest over a three to five year period, and generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Key employees are eligible to receive a grant of stock options annually with
the number of options determined by the employees performance level. In addition, certain key management personnel typically receive stock option or restricted stock grants upon commencement of employment.

Stock option and SARs information during the six months ended October 31, 2006 is as follows:

Included in the table above are 72 SARs outstanding at October 31, 2006 with a
weighted-average exercise price of $11.74, and 71 SARs exercisable at October 31, 2006 with a weighted-average exercise price of $11.69. As of October 31, 2006, there was $6,227 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested
awards of stock options and SARs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of one year. For stock option awards subject to graded vesting that were issued after May 1, 2006, we recognize the total compensation cost
on a straight-line basis over the service period for the entire award.

review as well as throughout the year upon commencement of employment. The fair values of restricted stock shares are determined based on the closing price
of the Companys common stock on the grant dates.

Information regarding our restricted stock during the six months ended
October 31, 2006 is as follows:

As of October 31, 2006, there was $10,620 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to
nonvested awards of shares of restricted stock. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. For restricted stock awards subject to graded vesting that were issued after May 1, 2006, the Company recognizes
the total compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the service period for the entire award. In the three and six months ended October 31, 2006, two and 70 restricted stock shares totaling $53 and $1,381, respectively, were repurchased by
the Company at the option of the employee to pay for taxes on restricted stock shares vesting in the periods.

Employee Stock Purchase
Plan

In October 2003, the Company implemented an ESPP that, in accordance with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue code, allows
eligible employees to authorize payroll deductions of up to 15% of their salary to purchase shares of the Companys common stock at 85% of the fair market price of the common stock on the last day of the enrollment period. The maximum number of
shares of common stock reserved for ESPP issuance is 1.5 million, subject to adjustment for certain changes in the Companys capital structure and other extraordinary events. During the six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005,
employees purchased 85 shares at $16.65 per share, and 106 shares at $15.09 per share, respectively. Employees did not purchase any shares in the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005. At October 31, 2006, the plan had approximately
1.0 million shares available for future issuance.

Common Stock

The Company issued approximately 729 and 1,095 common shares as a result of the exercise of stock options and 85 common shares in conjunction with the
Companys ESPP in the three and six months ended October 31, 2006, respectively. The Company issued approximately 293 and 718 common shares relating to the exercise of stock options and 106 common shares in conjunction with the
Companys ESPP in the three and six months ended October 31, 2005, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

New Accounting Standards

In July
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes(FIN 48). Among other things, FIN 48 creates a model to address uncertainty in tax positions and clarifies the
accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold which all income tax positions must achieve to meet

before being recognized in the financial statements. In addition, FIN 48 requires expanded annual disclosures, including a tabular rollforward of the
beginning and ending aggregate unrecognized tax benefits as well as specific detail related to tax uncertainties for which it is reasonably possible the amount of unrecognized tax benefit will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months. FIN
48 is effective for the Company on May 1, 2007. Any differences between the amounts recognized in the statement of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption are generally accounted for as a
cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial
position and results of operations.

2. Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share (basic EPS) was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per common share (diluted EPS) reflects the potential dilution that would occur if all in-the-money outstanding options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted and was computed by dividing
adjusted net income, after assumed conversion of subordinated notes and preferred stock, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive common equivalent shares. The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator (shares in thousands) used in the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

In fiscal 2005, the Company implemented the Executive Capital Accumulation Plan
(ECAP). ECAP is intended to provide certain employees an opportunity to defer salary and/or bonus on a pre-tax basis, or make an after-tax contribution. The Company made a $26 and $6,633 ECAP contribution in the three and six months
ended October 31, 2006, respectively. The Company contribution vests and is expensed ratably over a four year vesting period.

5. Mandatorily
Redeemable Convertible Securities

In June 2002, the Company issued 7.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes in an aggregate principal amount
of $40,000 and 10 shares of 7.5% Convertible Series A Preferred Stock at an aggregate purchase price of $10.0 million. The notes and preferred stock have priority over common stockholders. The notes and preferred stock are convertible into shares of
the Companys common stock at $10.19 per share. The Company also issued warrants to purchase 274 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $11.94. The warrants expire in 2012. The warrants were recorded at fair value resulting in
discounts on the notes and preferred stock (together the securities) of $1,200 and $300, respectively, and are amortized over the life of the securities.

The securities may be redeemed at the option of the purchasers after June 13, 2008, the sixth anniversary of the closing date, at a price equal to 101% of the issuance price plus all accrued interest and
dividends. The securities are

mandatorily redeemable if still outstanding on June 13, 2010, at a price equal to 101% of the issuance price plus accrued interest and dividends. From
the third to the sixth year, the securities are subject to optional redemption by the Company at 200% to 250% of the then outstanding principal balance.

Interest and dividends are payable semi-annually in either additional securities or cash at the option of the Company. The Company also incurred issuance costs of $4,300 that have been deferred and are being amortized
over the life of the securities as interest expense with $3,400 allocated to the notes and $900 allocated to the preferred stock.

6. Business Segments

The Company operates in two global business segments: executive recruitment and Futurestep. These segments are distinguished primarily
by the candidates level of compensation. The executive recruitment business segment is managed by geographic regional leaders. Revenue from leadership development solutions and other consulting engagements including revenue from our recent
acquisition of the Lominger entities (as defined below), is included in executive recruitment. Futuresteps worldwide operations are managed by the Chief Executive Officer of Futurestep. The executive recruitment geographic regional leaders and
the Chief Executive Officer of Futurestep report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Company also operates a Corporate segment to record global expenses of the Company.

A summary of the Companys results of operations by business segment are as follows:

7. Acquisitions

The Company acquired Lominger Limited, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, and Lominger Consulting, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (together referred to as the Lominger Entities), as well as all of the
intellectual property rights of Drs. Robert W. Eichinger and Michael M. Lombardo (the co-founders of the Lominger Entities), on August 8, 2006. The purchase price for the transaction totaled $24,400, subject to adjustment, and
was preliminarily allocated as follows: $3,500 to goodwill, $18,100 to purchased intangibles, $4,500 to total assets acquired and $1,700 to total liabilities assumed. We account for goodwill and purchased intangibles in accordance with
SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). Accordingly, the Companys preliminary estimates of goodwill could be revised during the next twelve months as any necessary final purchase
accounting adjustments are recorded. Actual results of operations of the Lominger Entities are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from August 8, 2006, the effective date of this acquisition.

Forward-looking Statements

This quarterly report
on Form 10-Q may contain certain statements that we believe are, or may be considered to be,forward-lookingstatements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by use of statements that include phrases such asbelieve,expect,anticipate,intend,plan,foresee,may,will,estimates,potential,continueor other similar words or phrases. Similarly, statements that describe our objectives, plans or goals also are forward-looking statements. All of these forward-looking
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. The principal risk factors that could cause actual performance and future
actions to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, dependence on attracting and retaining qualified and experienced consultants, portability of client relationships, local political or economic
developments in or affecting countries where we have operations, ability to manage growth, restrictions imposed by off-limits agreements, competition, risks related to the growth and results of Futurestep, reliance on information processing systems,
and employment liability risk. Readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are made only as of the date of this report and we undertake
no obligation to publicly update these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

The following
presentation of managements discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Executive Summary

Korn/Ferry International and all
of its wholly and majority owned/controlled domestic and international subsidiaries (collectively, the Company, or in the first person, we, us and our) are a leading provider of talent management
solutions with the broadest global presence in the executive recruitment segment of the industry. Our services include executive recruitment, middle-management and outsourced recruitment through Futurestep, leadership development solutions and
executive coaching. Over half of the executive recruitment searches we performed in fiscal 2006 were for board level, chief executive and other senior executive positions. Our 4,373 clients in fiscal 2006 included approximately 44% of the Fortune
500 companies. We have established strong client loyalty; more than 83% of the executive recruitment assignments we performed in fiscal 2006 were on behalf of clients for whom we had conducted assignments in the previous three fiscal years.

In an effort to achieve our long-term vision of being the leading provider of executive search, outsourced recruiting and leadership
development solutions, our strategic focus for fiscal 2007 is centered upon increasing market share and further increasing the cross-selling and utilization of our multi-product strategy. We continue to explore new products and services, enhance our
technology and aggressively leverage our brand through thought leadership and intellectual capital projects as a means of delivering world-class service to our clients.

Fee revenue increased 24% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 to $155.7 million compared to prior year second quarter primarily due to a 14% increase in the number of engagements billed in the executive search
segment, resulting from an increase in the number of engagements opened as well as higher average fees in engagements billed. Fee revenue was also impacted by our acquisition of the Lominger Entities on August 8, 2006. The North American region
experienced the largest dollar increase in fee revenue in executive recruitment, as revenue increased $17.2 million, or 27%, due to a 9% increase in the number of engagements billed in the quarter combined with an increase in average fees in
engagement. Futurestep experienced a 22% increase in fee revenue over the prior years quarter as engagements billed in the period increased versus the prior year quarter. In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we earned operating income of
$21.1 million, with operating income of $26.6 million and $1.8 million from executive recruitment and Futurestep, respectively, offset by corporate expenses of $7.3 million.

Our total long-term debt at October 31, 2006 was $47.3 million. Our working capital increased $2.3
million to $220.5 million at October 31, 2006 compared to $218.2 million at April 30, 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and operating results are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements. Preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. In preparing our interim financial statements and accounting for the underlying transactions
and balances, we apply our accounting policies as disclosed in our Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We consider the policies related to revenue recognition, deferred compensation and the carrying values of goodwill and
deferred income taxes as critical to an understanding of our interim consolidated financial statements because their application places the most significant demands on managements judgment. Specific risks for these critical accounting policies
are described in our Fiscal 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

The following table summarizes the results of our operations for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 as a percentage of

million in the three months ended October 31, 2005. Globally, engagements billed increased as did the average fees in engagements billed. Strong performances in all segments were noted along with continued revenues derived from the

Europe reported an increase in fee revenue of $4.9 million or 18%, to $32.8 million from $27.9 million in the same period last year, primarily due to a
21% increase in engagements billed and an increase in average fees in engagements billed. Business in the European market continues to expand in the newer offices established and office relocations occurring in the latter part of the prior fiscal
year, including in the Czech Republic and in Germany. Exchange rates favorably impacted European fee revenue by $2.1 million in the current quarter as compared to last year.

engagements billed. The majority of the increase in the current quarter is attributed to the continued growth of business in Brazil, where fee revenues increased by 19%, also representing over half the total increase in the entire regions fee
revenue in the current quarter. Exchange rates favorably impacted fee revenue by $0.1 million in the current quarter.

ended October 31, 2006 compared to $16.8 million in the three months ended October 31, 2005. The improvement in fee revenue, reflected across all regions, is due to an increase in the number of new engagements billed. Of the total increase

compensation and benefits expense reflects the hiring of new consultants globally, along with performance increases and internal promotions effective at the beginning of this fiscal year, as well as the continued development of internal resources in
response to increasing demand for the Companys services. An increase of $1.4 million is attributable to the addition of the Lominger Entities. Additionally, a $1.4 million increase was noted due to the stock-based compensation expense recorded

as compared to $65.7 million recorded in same period last year due to increased variable compensation based rewards as well as new consultants joining the Company. Additionally, stock-based compensation expense accounted for an additional $1.3
million in total expense in the current quarter, which was not present last year. Executive recruitment compensation and benefits expense, as a percentage of fee revenue increased to 62%, as compared to 60% in the prior year quarter due to increased
profitability and SFAS 123(R) stock-based compensation expense. The average number of consultants in executive recruitment increased to 483, a 13% increase or 57 consultants over the prior year quarter. Exchange rates impacted compensation and
benefits expense by $1.6 million in the current year.

$13.5 million from $11.3 million in the prior year due to internal resource development as well as continuing investment in our people. Increased variable compensation expenses as well as additional external contractors expense arising from

increased to 85 at October 31, 2006, a 60% increase over the past year. Futurestep compensation and benefits expense, as a percentage of fee revenue, decreased to 65% from 67% in the prior year.

three months ended October 31, 2006 compared to $24.0 million in the same period last year. Increases to general and administrative expenses related to a $2.0 million increase in premise and office expense along with a $2.0 million increase in
other types of general expenses including meeting and travel expense. Increased office expense is consistent with the office openings and relocations in the latter part of the previous fiscal year. The Lominger Entities contributed $0.5 million to
the increase. Exchange rates impacted general and administrative expenses unfavorably by $0.1 million in the current quarter.

In executive
recruitment, general and administrative expenses increased $3.6 million. The majority of the fluctuation related to a $1.3 million increase in premise and office expense, which increased across all four regions. The remaining increases related

compared to last year due to a 21% increase on the number of engagements billed. Exchange rates favorably impacted fee revenue for Europe by $3.0 million in the current period. Asia Pacific fee revenue increased $8.6 million, or 31%, to $36.6
million compared to the same period last year due to a 16% increase in the number of engagements billed. Exchange rates had nominal impact on Asia Pacific fee revenue in the current period. South America reported fee revenue of $8.5 million, an
increase of $1.5 million, or 21%, compared to $7.0 million last year due to an increase in the number of new engagements billed in the current period and an increase in average fees in engagements billed. Exchange rates favorably impacted South
American fee revenue by $0.2 million in the current period.

Futurestep - Fee revenue increased $7.4 million, or 22%, to $41.0
million in the six months ended October 31, 2006 compared to $33.6 million in the six months ended October 31, 2005. The improvement in fee revenue, reflected across all regions, is due to an increase in the number of engagements billed
compared to the same period last year, combined with our strategic shift to recruitment process outsourcing. Exchange rates favorably impacted fee revenue by $0.3 million in the period.

Compensation and Benefits.Compensation and benefits expense increased $47.3 million, or 30%, to $206.5 million in the six months ended
October 31, 2006 compared to $159.2 million in the six months ended October 31, 2005. The increase in compensation and benefits expense is due to a 18% increase in the average number of new consultants since the same period last year in
addition to increased profitability and retention awards. Compensation and benefits expense increased by $1.4 million due to the addition of the Lominger Entities for the six months ended October 31, 2006. Executive recruitment compensation and
benefits costs of $169.7 million increased $39.8 million, or 31%, compared to last year primarily due to consultants hired over the past year. Executive recruitment compensation and benefits expense, as a percentage of fee revenue increased 2% to
63% as compared to prior year. Futurestep compensation and benefits expense increased $5.8 million, or 27%, to $27.6 million from $21.8 million in the prior year due to significant investments in our people which increased Futuresteps average
consultant headcount by 34% over the past year. Futurestep compensation and benefits expense, as a percentage of fee revenue, increased to 68% from 65% in the prior year. Corporate compensation and benefits expense increased by $1.7 million to $9.1
million at October 31, 2006 as compared to $7.4 million in the same period last year. Increased compensation and benefits expense in the Corporate sector related mainly to an increase in personnel and stock-based compensation expense that
wasnt present in the prior year.

General and Administrative Expenses.General and administrative expenses increased $5.9 million,
or 13%, to $52.6 million in the six months ended October 31, 2006 compared to $46.7 million in the same period last year. The Lominger Entities contributed $0.5 million to the increase.

In Executive Recruitment, general and administrative expenses increased $4.7 million, from $34.2 million in the prior year to $38.9 million in the
current year. The increase was driven by other administrative expenses of $2.0 million including travel and meeting expenses and an increase in premise and office expense of $2.1 million, noted in all regions due to increased rent expense and total
space leased. Executive recruitment general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of fee revenue, declined to 15% from 16% in the prior year.

Futurestep general and administrative expense increased $1.7 million, or 25%, primarily due to increased premises and office expense of $1.1 million, noted across all regions, resulting from increased rent expense and
the opening of new offices in Europe and Asia. Bad debt expense increased by $0.5 million resulting from an increase in the level of business and corresponding increase in accounts receivable. Futurestep general and administrative expenses, as a
percentage of fee revenue, increased to 21% from 20% in the prior year.

Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased $0.5
million, or 8% over the prior year due to decreased administrative expenses of $1.0 million, primarily due to decreased legal and professional expenses in the current year as well as a decrease in travel and meeting expenses offset by an increase in
premises and business development expenses.

Out-of-Pocket Engagement Expenses.Out-of-pocket engagement expenses are comprised of
expenses incurred by candidates and our consultants that are generally billed to clients. Out-of-pocket engagement expenses of $20.6 million increased $5.7 million, or 38%, over the prior year as a result of increased engagements of 25% as compared
to last year. As a percentage of fee revenue, out-of-pocket engagement expense was 6% in both periods.

Depreciation and Amortization
Expenses.Depreciation and amortization expense was $4.7 million in the six months ended October 31, 2006, a slight increase of $0.3 million from the prior year amount of $4.4 million at October 31, 2005. Depreciation expense relates
mainly to computer equipment and software, furniture and fixtures, as well as leasehold improvements.

Operating Income.Operating
income increased $4.7 million, or 13%, to $41.5 million in the six months ended October 31, 2006 compared to $36.8 million in the prior period. Operating income, as a percentage of fee revenue, was 14% compared to 15% in the prior year,
resulting from the increase in revenue of $63.9, offset by an increase in operating expenses of $59.2 million in the current fiscal year. The Lominger Entities contributed $0.5 million of operating income during the six months ended October 31,
2006.

Executive recruitment operating income increased $6.5 million, or 14%, to $53.3 million in the six months ended October 31,
2006 compared to $46.8 million in the six months ended October 31, 2005. The improvement in executive recruitment operating income is primarily a result of increased revenue offset by additional compensation expense. Executive recruitment
operating income, as a percentage of fee revenue, decreased to 20% from 22% last year.

Futurestep operating income was $2.9 million in the
six months ended October 31, 2006, a decrease of $0.5 million as compared to $3.4 million in the same period of 2005. Futurestep operating income, as a percentage of fee revenue, declined to 7% from 10% in the prior year. Compensation and
benefits costs related to increased headcount and general and administrative expenses contributed to the decline in operating income during the current year.

Corporate expenses were $14.7 million in the six months ended October 31, 2006, an increase of $1.3 million, compared to $13.4 million in the same period last year, attributable mainly stock-based compensation
and an increase in personnel.

Interest Income and Other Income, Net.Interest income and other income, net of $4.2 million
increased by $1.7 million in the six months ended October 31, 2006 from $2.5 million in the six months ended October 31, 2005. The



21

##### Table of Contents

increase is due to $1.6 million in interest and other income, mainly from the Corporate segment, resulting from higher cash balances and interest rate
growth.

Interest Expense.Interest expense, primarily related to the borrowings under our convertible securities and COLI policies,
was $5.1 million in both periods.

Provision for Income Taxes.The provision for income taxes was $15.1 million for the six months
ended October 31, 2006 compared to $12.8 million last year. The provision for income taxes reflects a 37% effective tax rate which is comparable to the effective tax rate for the prior year.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries.Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries is comprised of our less than
50% shareholder interest in our Mexican subsidiaries. We report our interest in earnings or loss of the Mexican subsidiaries on the equity basis as a one line adjustment to net income, net of taxes. Equity in earnings was $1.8 million in the six
months ended October 31, 2006, an increase of $0.8 million, compared to $1.0 million, in the same period in 2005.

Liquidity and Capital
Resources

Cash used by operating activities was $13.7 million for the six months ended October 31, 2006 compared to $21.1 million
last year. As revenue has continued to increase, receivables also have increased. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances in both years reflect increased business activity and expense along with fiscal year bonuses. These items were offset
by increases in net income, stock-based compensation and deferred compensation expense.

Cash used in investing activities was $33.7
million in the six months ended October 31, 2006, compared to $15.0 million in the prior year, an increase in cash used of $18.7 million. In the six months ended October 31, 2006, the increase in cash used was primarily attributable to the
acquisition of the Lominger Entities and their Leadership Development Solutions business. Additionally, we invested $5.6 million in marketable securities in conjunction with our ECAP program, a decrease of $2.0 million over the prior year period,
mainly due to the timing and amounts of the ECAP employer contribution in the previous fiscal year. Capital expenditures for the six months ended October 31, 2006 and October 31, 2005 totaled $6.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively, a
slight increase of $0.6 million. Capital expenditures in both periods were incurred in relation to continuing expansion of our Futurestep business as well as continuing expansion globally especially in North America, where capital expenditures
related to providing computer hardware to new hires in the executive recruitment segment.

Cash used in financing activities was $8.4
million in the six months ended October 31, 2006 compared to $8.7 million provided by financing activities last year. In the six months ended October 31, 2006, treasury stock repurchases made in relation to our stock buyback programs
totaled $25.9 million. This was offset by $13.5 million in proceeds received from exercises of employee stock options and in conjunction with the semi-annual offerings under our ESPP the first of which occurred in July 2006.

Total outstanding borrowings under our COLI policies were $58.6 million and $57.0 million as of October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Generally,
we borrow under our COLI policies to pay related premiums. Such borrowings do not require principal payments, bear interest at primarily variable rates and are secured by the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies of $131.6 million and
$124.5 million as of October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Borrowings under our COLI policies are netted against the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies in our consolidated balance sheets.

As of October 31, 2006, we had approximately $45.3 million outstanding in aggregate principal amount of 7.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due in
June 2010 and 7.5% Convertible Series A Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of $11.4 million.

We have a Senior
Secured Revolving Credit Facility with a $50 million borrowing capacity and no borrowing base restrictions. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets including certain accounts receivable balances and guarantees by and
pledges a portion of the capital stock of our significant subsidiaries. We are required

##### Table of Contents

to meet certain financial condition covenants on a quarterly basis. As of October 31, 2006, we had no outstanding borrowings on our credit facility.

We believe that cash on hand, borrowings available under our credit facility and funds from operations will be sufficient to meet our
anticipated working capital, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and general corporate requirements. However, adverse changes in our revenue could require us to cut costs or obtain financing to meet our cash needs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We
have no off-balance sheet arrangements and have not entered into any transactions involving unconsolidated, limited purpose entities.



|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

As a result of our global operating activities, we are exposed to certain market risks, including foreign currency exchange fluctuations and fluctuations in interest rates. We manage our exposure to these risks in the
normal course of our business as described below. We have not utilized financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, nor do we trade in derivative financial instruments.

Foreign Currency Risk

Substantially
all our foreign subsidiaries operations are measured in their local currencies. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the end of each reporting period and revenue and expenses are
translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are reported as a component of comprehensive income in our Statement of Stockholders Equity.

Transactions denominated in a currency other than the reporting entitys functional currency may give rise to transaction gains and losses that
impact our results of operations. In the six months ended October 31, 2006, we recognized foreign currency gains of $0.1 million globally.

Our primary exposure to exchange losses is based on outstanding inter-company loan balances denominated in U.S. dollars. If the U.S. dollar strengthened 15%, 25% and 35% against Pounds Sterling, the Euro, the Canadian dollar, the Australian
dollar and the Yen, the Company s exchange loss would have been $1.6 million, $2.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively, based on outstanding balances at October 31, 2006. If the U.S. dollar weakened by the same increments against
Pounds Sterling, the Euro, the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar and the Yen, the Companys exchange gain would have been $1.6 million, $2.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively, based on outstanding balances at October 31, 2006.

Interest Rate Risk

As
of October 31, 2006, we had no outstanding balance on our credit facility. We have $58.6 million of borrowings against the cash surrender value of COLI contracts as of October 31, 2006 bearing interest primarily at variable rates. The risk
of fluctuations in these variable rates is minimized by the fact that we receive a corresponding adjustment to our borrowed funds crediting rate on the cash surrender value on our COLI contracts.

As of October 31, 2006, we have approximately $45.3 million of 7.5% Convertible Debt and $11.4 million liquidation value of 7.5% Convertible
Preferred Stock that is mandatorily redeemable by us if still outstanding on June 13, 2010.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures

##### Table of Contents

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of
the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

During the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2006, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
