Explanation of Responses:

1. Disposition/Acquisition due to voluntary in-service withdrawal of DCP shares and sale and cash payout for the deminimus share balance remaining in Reporting Person's account.

2. Shares purchased within the Spherion stock fund of the 401k Plan with loan repayment funds deducted from Reporting Person's paycheck.

3. Adjustment made by Plan Administrator to correct Reporting Person's holding. Fees mistakenly assessed at end of 2003 were reversed by Plan Administrator in 2004, resulting in fractional increase in total holdings at year end 2004.
