Analysts International Corporation Continues to Transform its Business

Company exits certain lines of business and

makes additional staff reductions to keep costs in line with revenue

MINNEAPOLIS — July 8, 2008 — Analysts International Corporation (AIC) (NASDAQ: ANLY), a diversified IT services company, today announced the sale of Symmetry Workforce Solutions, its managed services business; the discontinuation of its staffing relationship with Lexmark International, Inc.; and a corresponding reduction of its corporate and back office support staff.

AIC has sold Symmetry Workforce Solutions, its managed services business, to COMSYS IT Partners, Inc., a leading provider in the managed services space. The transaction closed on July 1, 2008. “This is a win for AIC, for COMSYS and for our managed services clients,” said Elmer Baldwin, President and CEO, Analysts International Corporation. “While we determined that Symmetry was a non-core business for AIC, I have a high degree of confidence in COMSYS’ ability to serve these former AIC clients and employees moving forward.”

In addition, AIC has discontinued its staffing relationship with Lexmark International, Inc., a printing and imaging solutions company. Effective July 6, 2008, AIC officially transferred its existing Lexmark contracts and approximately 350 billable consultants to three other Lexmark staffing suppliers. On an annual basis, Lexmark accounted for approximately $20 million in revenue for AIC. With the cost of supporting that business also at approximately $20 million, the net impact to AIC as a result of this transition is expected to be negligible. AIC intends to continue to pursue opportunities to provide more value-added, project-based services to Lexmark and its clients.

Together, business through Symmetry and the Lexmark account represented total annual revenue of more than $60 million and gross margins of approximately $3 million, to which nearly $2.3 million of operating expenses were directly attributed.

“These initiatives are consistent with the plans we outlined earlier in the year and mark important steps in the continued transformation of our business,” stated Baldwin. “Eliminating certain lines of business allows us to focus our attention on providing more value-added services to our clients. We’ve made good progress with these initiatives to date, but remain focused on the work that’s yet to be done. Especially in light of today’s economy, we plan to continue to sharpen our focus and deliver better value to our clients, resulting in improved margins for our business.”

In order to keep its costs in line with the requirements of the business moving forward, AIC has reduced its corporate and back office support staff and made a number of changes in other areas of the business where there were opportunities to further reduce costs without impacting service to its clients. These reductions, combined with the account management team changes that occurred in conjunction with the transition of Lexmark and Symmetry, resulted in the elimination of more than 30 positions in the second quarter.
