“During the third quarter we continued to operate ahead of the performance improvement plan adopted in April,” stated Interim President and CEO Mike LaVelle.  “We continued our focus on daily operating and performance standards to meet strong client demand, and we benefited from the cost reduction and business process improvements implemented in the second quarter.  We are continuing to make investments in sales and recruiting talent, and we expect to see further improvements in the fourth quarter as we continue our work on developing a strategic plan to integrate our staffing and solutions businesses into a full-spectrum IT professional services offering.”

*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, the costs associated with outside consultants engaged by the Board of Directors, additional restructuring adjustments resulting from our inability to sublet portions of dormant space, and the return of common stock from an escrow account following the departure of two of the principals of a company we acquired in 2005.  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.
