Exhibit 99.1

Volt Information Sciences, Inc. to take up to $12.0 million After Tax Charge

New York, N.Y. February 12, 2008 -Volt Information Sciences, Inc., (NYSE: VOL) reported that it anticipates incurring a charge in its Telecommunications Services segment for the first quarter of its 2008 fiscal year that ended January 27, 2008, which it estimates will not exceed $12.0 million on an after tax basis. The Company recently learned that it may not be reimbursed for certain work performed under an installation contract. The charge is to establish a reserve for certain costs included in inventory related to work performed and for additional costs expected to be incurred to complete that work under the contract. The charge includes a provision for contract add-ons, out of scope work and rework. While the Company believes that it is entitled to be compensated for a certain portion of the amount included in the reserve, it cannot at this time determine the amount for which it will be reimbursed.

The Company noted that it traditionally reports approximately break even results for the first quarter of its fiscal years and, therefore, will report a pre-tax loss for the first quarter of its 2008 fiscal year. The Company has not yet determined whether any of the charge relates to its prior fiscal year which ended October 28, 2007. However, since the Company does not record revenues until job completion and customer acceptance of the work, previously recognized revenues will not be impacted.

The Company emphasized that its estimate is based on its present analysis of the information available to it, and is preliminary.

Steven A. Shaw, President of Volt, stated “The Company is in the process of taking the necessary steps to assure that the situation is corrected.”
