Analysts International Comments on Computer Horizons’
Shareholder Vote

 

Analysts Shareholders Overwhelmingly Supported Transaction; Company Expects Significant Growth and a Return to Profitability Going Forward

 

MINNEAPOLIS, September 2, 2005 – Analysts International (NASDAQ: ANLY) today discussed the Computer Horizons’ shareholder vote indicating an apparent rejection of the planned merger of the two companies.

 

Jeff Baker, President of Analysts International, stated, “Our voting shareholders approved this transaction with over 97% voting in favor.  This certainly validates that our rationale for pursuing this transaction was sound and well-reasoned.”

 

“Today, our Company is in a strong position to grow and expand the business organically” Baker continued.  “Recent contract awards and extensions put us in the enviable position of expecting to see revenues increase by 15% to 18% in the fourth quarter and our staffing headcount increase by over 150.  We believe that we are positioned to return to profitability in the fourth quarter and to continue to grow profitably through 2006, reaching revenue levels that we have not seen in many years.”

 

“We remain convinced that ours is an industry in need of change and, despite today’s setback, we will continue to look for opportunities to play a significant role in its inevitable consolidation,” Baker concluded.
