TAMPA, FL – March 11, 2004 – Kforce Inc. (NASDAQ: KFRC), a professional staffing firm, announced that it has today filed its Form 10-K which included the following disclosures:

Kforce has notified Hall Kinion that it believes certain conditions exist or will exist that have or will have a material adverse effect on Hall Kinion. Hall Kinion has informed Kforce that it disagrees with Kforce’s position, has suspended Kforce’s access to its personnel and has requested that Kforce’s board of directors confirm its intention to recommend the proposed transaction to the Kforce shareholders. At a March 10, 2004 special meeting of Kforce’s board of directors concerning the transaction, the board considered Hall Kinion’s request, but did not reconfirm its intention to recommend the proposed merger to Kforce shareholders. Accordingly, Kforce believes that there is a great deal of uncertainty relating to the proposed merger and that there can be no assurance that it will be consummated. If a merger does proceed, the terms may be substantially revised.

Kforce has incurred costs associated with this potential transaction that would be included in the purchase price if a merger were to occur. Capitalized costs amounted to approximately $1.5 million at December 31, 2003, and together with such costs incurred during the first quarter, may exceed $2.5 million. Costs that otherwise would have been includable in the purchase price, would be charged to expense in the quarter during which it is determined that a merger is not likely to proceed, if such determination is made. Additionally, as expected, integration planning expenses are being incurred in the first quarter that, together with the potential write-offs described above, could result in aggregate merger-related charges exceeding $3.5 million.
