We have also further revised the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff's comments and are filing concurrently with this letter Amendment No. 8 to the Amended Registration Statement ("Amendment No. 8"), which reflects these revisions and updates a limited amount of other information.
For your convenience, the numbered paragraphs of this letter correspond to the numbered paragraphs of the seventh comment letter. Page references in the text of this letter correspond to the pages of Amendment No. 8.

- We note the revisions made in response to prior comment 5 wherein you have presented certain pro forma balance sheet and per share data to reflect the deemed distribution to Midas Medici Capital I Special Opportunity Fund. We note, however, that no comparable revisions were made to the Selected Financial Information presented on page 33. Please revise to ensure that the pro forma impact of the June 2008 share issuance is included in this presentation, including the appropriate footnote disclosure.
The Company has revised the disclosure on pages 11-12 and 32-33 of Amendment No. 8.
