KORN/FERRY INTERNATIONAL AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006 include the accounts of Korn/Ferry
International and all of its wholly and majority owned/controlled domestic and international subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). The condensed 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, 2007 (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 (GAAP) 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, other intangible assets 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 consolidated balance sheets
as of October 31, 2007 and April 30, 2007. 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.

As of October 31,
2007 and April 30, 2007, the Companys marketable securities included $52.5 million and $35.2 million, respectively, held in trust for settlement of the Companys obligations under its Executive Capital Accumulation Plan
(ECAP). See additional discussion in Footnote 4, Deferred Compensation, Retirement Plans and Executive Capital Accumulation Plan.

A portion of our marketable securities consist of auction rate securities. These investments, which have original maturities beyond one year, are classified as current in the accompanying balance sheets based on their highly liquid nature
and because these securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations. As of October 31, 2007, we concluded that it was appropriate to classify certain of our investments previously classified as cash and cash
equivalents as marketable securities. To conform to the current period presentation, we have reclassified $56.6 million from cash and cash equivalents to marketable securities as of April 30, 2007.

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). The Company accounts for stock-based instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
No. 123(R)).

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. The Company uses historical data to estimate forfeiture rates applied to the gross amount of
expense determined using the option valuation model. 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, 2007 and 2006:



|                                |  |                              |   |  |       |

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.

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 periodically receives stock option or restricted stock grants
upon commencement of employment.

Restricted Stock

The Company grants restricted stock to executive officers and other senior employees generally vesting over a three to four year period. Restricted stock
is granted at a price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Employees may receive restricted stock annually in conjunction with the Companys performance 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, 2007 is as follows:

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 1,500, subject to adjustment for certain changes in the Companys capital structure and other extraordinary events. During the six months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, employees purchased 73 shares at
$22.32 per share, and 85 shares at $16.65 per share, respectively. At October 31, 2007, the plan had approximately 800 shares available for future issuance.

Common Stock

The Company issued approximately 102 and 986 common shares as a result of the exercise
of stock options and 73 common shares in conjunction with the Companys ESPP in the three and six months ended October 31, 2007, respectively. 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.

Reclassifications

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

New Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes(FIN 48). The Company adopted
FIN 48 as of May 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum threshold for benefit recognition of a tax position for financial reporting purposes. FIN 48 also establishes tax accounting rules for
measurement, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and interim period accounting. As a result of the adoption of FIN48, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment which reduced retained earnings by $3,500. As of
October 31, 2007, the Company had gross unrecognized benefits of $10,700, which would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. Interest and penalties related to income tax matters are recorded to income tax expense. As of October 31,
2007, the Company accrued interest related to FIN 48 of $300. The Companys Federal and state tax return filings remain subject to examination until 2010 and 2011, respectively.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). This statement defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement and establishes a fair value
hierarchy. This statement also clarifies how the assumptions of risk and the effect of restrictions on sales or use of an asset effect the valuation. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact this statement will have on its results of operations and financial position.

In February, 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS
No. 159) including an amendment of SFAS No. 115. This statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the impact this statement will have on its results of operations and financial position.

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 used in the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

6. 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: $6,600 to goodwill, $18,100 to purchased intangibles, $4,500 to total assets acquired and $4,800 to total liabilities assumed.

The purchase accounting for the Lominger Entities was completed in the three months ended October 31, 2007. The final purchase price allocation was
$8,700 to goodwill, $16,000 to purchased intangibles, $4,500 to total assets acquired and $4,800 to

total liabilities assumed. The adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in a reclassification of $2,100 from purchased intangibles
to goodwill on the consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2007.

We account for goodwill and purchased intangibles in accordance
with SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). 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.

7. Subsequent Events

On November 2, 2007, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of an additional $50,000 of the Companys common stock under a common stock repurchase program. Under this repurchase program, shares can
be repurchased in the open market or privately negotiated transactions at the Companys discretion. The $50,000 is in addition to the March 6, 2007, June 8, 2006 and December 7, 2005 amounts previously approved for $50,000,
$25,000 and $50,000, respectively. As of October 31, 2007, the Company had used all of the $125,000 of share repurchase funds authorized by the Board of Directors in March 2007, June 2006 and December 2005.

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 are also 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, currency fluctuations in our international 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 as well as the matters disclosed under the heading Risk Factors in Item 1A of the Companys annual report on Form 10-K
for fiscal 2007. 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) is a premier provider of talent management
solutions. We are the largest provider of executive recruitment, outsourced recruiting and leadership development solutions with the broadest global presence in the recruitment industry. Our services include executive recruitment, middle-management
recruitment and outsourced recruitment (through Futurestep), leadership development solutions and executive coaching. Over half of the executive recruitment engagements we performed in the last fiscal year were for board level, chief executive or
other senior executive and general management positions. Our 4,742 clients in the last fiscal year included approximately 43% of the FORTUNE 500 companies. We have established strong client loyalty; more than 84% of the executive recruitment
assignments we performed during the previous three fiscal years were on behalf of clients for whom we had conducted multiple assignments.

In an effort to maintain our long-term strategy of being the leading provider of executive recruitment, middle-management recruitment, outsourced recruiting and leadership development solutions, our strategic focus for fiscal 2008 will
center upon increasing market share and further enhancing the cross-selling of our multi-product strategy. We will continue to address areas of increasing client demand, including Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and Leadership
Development Solutions (LDS). We will explore new products and services, continue to pursue a disciplined acquisition strategy, enhance our technology and processes 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 26% in the second quarter
of fiscal year 2008 to $195.9 million compared to the prior years second quarter with increases in all regions. The North America and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) regions experienced the largest dollar increases in
fee revenue. In the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we earned an operating profit of $25.4 million with operating income from executive recruitment of $33.0 million and $1.5 million from Futurestep, offset by corporate expenses of $9.1 million. This
represents an increase of 20% over the prior years quarterly operating income of $21.1 million.

We had no long-term debt or
outstanding balance under our credit facility at October 31, 2007. Our working capital increased $6.8 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2008 to $242.1 million at October 31, 2007.

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, intangible assets 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

increase in Futurestep operating income is primarily due to a 52% increase in average fees during the six months ended October 31, 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2007. Futurestep operating income, as a percentage of fee
revenue, was 7% and remained unchanged in the current year compared to the same period last year.

Interest Income and Other Income,
Net. Interest income and other income, net increased by $0.5 million in the six months ended October 31, 2007 from $4.2 million in the six months ended October 31, 2006. Interest and dividend income increased as a result of higher
yields on larger balances of funds available for investment compared to prior year.

Interest Expense. Interest expense,
primarily related to borrowings under COLI and convertible securities, was $2.4 million in the six months ended October 31, 2007 compared to $5.1 million during the six months ended October 31, 2006. The decrease is primarily a result of
interest expense on convertible securities in the six months ended October 31, 2006 that was not present in the six months ended October 31, 2007 as the securities were converted into shares of the Companys common stock in the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2007.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $20.4 million in the six
months ended October 31, 2007 compared to $15.1 million in the six months ended October 31, 2006. The provision for income taxes in the current year reflects a 39% effective tax rate. The provision for income taxes for the same period in
prior year reflects a 37% effective tax rate. The increase from the comparable period last year is a result of decreases in net operating losses that can be utilized in the current fiscal year and increases in reserves for planned cash repatriations
from subsidiaries.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated
subsidiaries is comprised of our less than 50% interest in our Mexican subsidiaries. We report our interest in earnings or loss of our 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, 2007 and October 31, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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 and/or obtain financing to meet our cash needs. We are not aware of any trends,
demands or commitments that would materially affect liquidity or those that relate to our resources.

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. 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, hedging 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 reporting period. Resulting translation adjustments are reported as a component of comprehensive income on our consolidated Statement of Stockholders Equity and accumulated other comprehensive
income on our consolidated Balance Sheets.

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. Historically, we have not realized significant foreign currency gains or losses on such transactions. In the three and six months ended October 31,
2007, we recognized foreign currency losses, after income taxes, of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, primarily related to our North America operations.

Our primary exposure to exchange losses is based on outstanding intercompany loan balances denominated in U.S. dollars. If the U.S. dollar strengthened 15%, 25% and 35% against the Pound Sterling, the Euro, the
Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar and the Yen, our exchange loss would have been $2.0 million, $3.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively, based on outstanding balances at October 31, 2007. If the U.S. dollar weakened by the same
increments against the Pound Sterling, the Euro, the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar and the Yen, our exchange gain would have been $2.0 million, $3.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively, based on outstanding balances at
October 31, 2007.

Interest Rate Risk

We primarily manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through our regular financing activities, which generally are short-term and provide for variable market rates. As of October 31, 2007, we had no
outstanding balance on our credit facility. We have $60.4 million of borrowings against the cash surrender value of COLI contracts as of October 31, 2007 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.

|------- | -----------------------

(a) Evaluation of

effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

During the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2007, 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.
