“Throughout the second quarter, we have made considerable progress in moving the company forward,” stated Mike LaVelle, President and CEO.  “We have improved operating results, strengthened our balance sheet, installed new management, strengthened key client relationships, implemented daily operating and performance standards and strengthened our sales capabilities.  With these accomplishments, we are positioning the Company to take advantage of an improving IT services market, regain market share and to improve the return to our shareholders going forward.”

Analysts International also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 1 million shares of Analysts International common stock.  The timing of the shares to be repurchased will be based on several factors, including the price of the common stock, general market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements and alternate investment opportunities.

“The Board of Directors is confident management will be able to execute on the profitability goals included in our recovery plan while making the investments necessary to position the Company for the future.  With this confidence, the Board believes the use of available liquidity to reduce our outstanding shares will benefit those shareholders who continue to own our Company,” stated Dr. Krzysztof Burhardt, Chairman of the Board.

*To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) which is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain items.  For the 2007 periods, we have excluded costs associated with severance payments made as part of our performance improvement plan and the costs associated with outside consultants engaged by the Board of Directors.  For the 2006 periods we have excluded credits resulting from the reversal of certain accruals associated with our attempted merger with Computer Horizons.  We believe these adjustments are helpful in providing a meaningful comparison between current results and prior reported results.  This non-GAAP financial measure is provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future.  This measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.  The non-GAAP financial measure included in this press release has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure.
