Except as otherwise stated herein, no other information contained in the Original Filing has been updated by this Amendment No. 1. The information in this Amendment No. 1 does not modify or update disclosures in the Original Filing (including the exhibits to the Original Filing, except for the updated Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 32.1) and other than as set forth herein.

These forward-looking statements are based on the current plans and expectations of our management and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. These factors include, but are not limited to: economic conditions affecting the human capital solutions industry; the adverse effect of legislation and other matters affecting the industry; increased competition in the industry; our dependence on certain customers; the risk that we may not be able to retain and attract customers; the availability of and costs associated with potential sources of financing; the loss of key personnel; our inability to attract and retain new qualified personnel; difficulties associated with integrating acquired businesses and customers into our operations; material deviations from expected future workers’ compensation claims experience; collectibility of accounts receivable; the carrying values of deferred income tax assets and goodwill, which may be affected by future operating results; the availability of capital or letters of credit necessary to meet state-mandated surety deposit requirements; and government regulation. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Amendment No. 1. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should also read, among other things, the risks and uncertainties described in the section of the Original Filing entitled “Risk Factors.”

* | Steven List served on our compensation committee until March 13, 2007 upon his appointment as our chief operating officer. Mr. List took part in the committee’s meetings and decisions until that point in time but he did not take part in drafting or submitting this report of the audit committee. |
We have adopted a policy requiring pre-approval by our audit committee of all fees and services of our independent registered public accounting firm, including all audit, audit-related, tax, and other legally-permitted services. Under the policy, a detailed description of each proposed service is submitted to the audit committee jointly by the independent auditors and our chief financial officer, together with a statement from the independent auditors that such services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The policy permits the audit committee to pre-approve lists of audit, audit-related, tax, and other legally-permitted services. The maximum term of any pre-approval is 12 months. Additional pre-approval is required for services not included in the pre-approved categories and for services exceeding pre-approved fee levels. The policy allows the audit committee to delegate its pre-approval authority to one or more of its members provided that a full report of any pre-approval decision is provided to the full audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. Our audit committee pre-approved all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by Mayer Hoffman & McCann in fiscal 2006.
