TeamStaff Reports Fourth Fiscal Quarter 2005 Positive EBITDA and Operating Breakeven

Somerset, NJ – December 5, 2005 - TeamStaff, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSTF) a national provider of healthcare staffing and specialty payroll services, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.

TeamStaff's revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were $21.2 million, which was comprised of $20.0 million from staffing services and $1.2 million from payroll services. In the comparable quarter last year, TeamStaff's revenues from continuing operations were $9.1 million comprised of $8.0 million from staffing services and $1.1 million from payroll services. Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 included $4.0 million resulting from the acquisition of Nursing Innovations, which occurred on November 14, 2004 and $10.0 million resulting from the acquisition of RS Staffing Services, Inc. effective June 4, 2005. All Nursing Innovations and TeamStaff Rx revenues, and approximately 75 percent of RS Staffing revenues, are derived from medical staffing.

Commenting on the Company's performance, TeamStaff's President and CEO, T. Kent Smith, stated, "We are greatly pleased that TeamStaff not only met its previously announced target for positive operating EBITDA, but that it showed a modest profit from continuing operations for the quarter as well. This compares with a loss from continuing operations in the prior quarter of $0.7 million. The key drivers were completion of our acquisition of RS Staffing in June, coupled with an increase in travel nurse bookings. The acquisition of RS Staffing was critical in the expansion of our presence in the government agency sector. RS Staffing also provided, and will continue to provide, cross-selling opportunities for our allied and nurse divisions. We were also encouraged by the continued increase in travel nurse orders. Our Nursing Innovations division continued to see an increase in demand for travel nurses and an increase in travel nurse applicants during the quarter. This translated into a sequential quarter revenue growth of 11% in this division."

Mr. Smith added, "With respect to our allied segment, TeamStaff Rx posted a 5% sequential quarter revenue increase. However, the recovery in our allied segment continued to lag behind the rebound in our nursing division as hospitals sought to contain costs by limiting temporary staff in higher health care professional payroll areas. We believe that since the business fundamentals of allied are similar to those of the nursing segment, the allied sector will eventually experience a sustained rebound. Key drivers in both segments include an aging population, an improving employment environment and growth in hospital admissions."




Commenting on TeamStaff's RS Staffing Services Inc.'s government sector business, Mr. Smith continued, "As of September 30, RS was fully integrated into the TeamStaff family of brands. RS Staffing has exceeded our expectations in terms of its profit generation capability, despite having several accounts impacted by hurricane Katrina. We are also impressed by the volume of bid opportunities that we are generating with the combined power of our nursing and allied businesses."

TeamStaff's gross profit was $4.2 million, or 19.7% of revenues, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to $2.3 million, or 25.0% of revenues, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. The decrease in gross profit percentage related predominantly to the inclusion of RS Staffing and related costs paid to staffing teaming partners (subcontractors) that are included as a cost of sale. Teaming is a business practice expected by government entities who expect their sometimes "exclusive" suppliers to provide more of a "master vendor" service.

Operating expenses were $3.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and included $0.5 million related to the acquisition of Nursing Innovations and $0.7 million related to the acquisition of RS Staffing, both of which acquisitions increased our number of non-worksite employees. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 were $2.5 million and included $0.2 million of excess accrual reductions.

Interest expense was $0.15 million and $0.01 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in interest expense related to interest on TeamStaff's revolving credit facility, as well as interest expense on the notes issued by TeamStaff in connection with the purchase of RS Staffing.

Income from continuing operations approximated breakeven, or ($0.00) compared to a loss of $0.1 million, or ($0.01) per share, in the same quarter of last year. Net loss, including discontinued operations, was $0.039 million, or ($0.00) per share, compared to a net loss of $0.4 million, or ($0.03) per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. The net loss was affected by a $0.042 million, or ($0.00) per share loss from discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to a loss of $0.2 million or ($0.02) per share in fiscal 2004.

Fiscal 2005 Results

TeamStaff's revenues from continuing operations for the year ended September 30, 2005 were $55.8 million compared to $37.3 million last year. Fiscal 2005 revenues included $12.8 million related to the acquisition of Nursing Innovations and $13.0 million related to RS Staffing. Operating expenses for the year ended September 30, 2005 were $14.3 million and included $1.8 million related to Nursing Innovations, $1.0 related to RS Staffing, $0.5 million related to a claim specific workers compensation receivable write-down and $0.2 related to non-recurring write-offs consisting of certain loan forgiveness related to TeamStaff's acquisition of Brightlane in 2001. This compares to operating expenses of $11.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2004. After adjusting for the acquisitions of Nursing Innovations and RS Staffing as well as the above stated write-downs, operating expenses decreased 4%.

Interest expense was $0.22 million and $0.08 million for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in interest expense included interest on the revolving credit facility obtained in June 2005 as well as interest expense on the notes issued by TeamStaff in connection with the purchase of RS Staffing.

Loss from continuing operations was $1.7 million or ($0.09) per share compared to a loss of $1.8 million or ($0.11) per share last year. Net loss, including discontinued operations, was $2.5 million or ($0.14) per share compared to $4.1 million or ($0.26) per share in fiscal 2004. The net loss included $0.8 million or ($0.05) per share from discontinued operations for the year ended September 30, 2005 compared to $2.3 million or ($0.15) per share from discontinued operations last year.

Cash and cash equivalents were $1.3 million at September 30, 2005. Availability at September 30, 2005 under the Company's revolving credit facility was approximately $1.8 million. Management believes its cash on hand, liquidity provided by its revolving credit facility and funds generated by operations will be sufficient to support cash needs for at least the next twelve months.




Commenting on TeamStaff's overall 2005 performance, Mr. Smith stated, "Fiscal 2005 was a year of continuing transition, acquisition, integration and revenue growth for TeamStaff. We finished assembling our base medical staffing sales model, continued development of our vendor management offering, added significantly to the senior management team and completed our integration of both Nursing Innovations and RS Staffing Services, Inc. We made additional advances operationally by identifying and implementing approximately $1 million in annualized cost reductions. These accomplishments throughout fiscal 2005 provided a solid foundation in helping us achieve our FY 2005 fourth quarter financial targets. We believe we are well positioned for the predicted industry turn-around, and are ready to explore additional strategic acquisitions. We will continue to seek every opportunity to grow our revenues and income throughout fiscal year 2006."

First Quarter Fiscal 2006

The Company estimates that the impact of hurricane Katrina on its first fiscal quarter gross profit will be a reduction of approximately $0.2 million. The Company believes that the negative impact of hurricane Katrina on its fiscal 2006 revenues will be limited to the above-referenced gross profit reduction. This impact, coupled with the normal seasonal downturn where travelers prefer not to work from the Thanksgiving through New Year's holidays, will affect both revenue and gross profit in our allied and nursing travel divisions. This should produce first quarter revenues of $19.8 million to $20.3 million and a loss from continuing operations of $0.1 million or $(0.01) cents per share.
