*To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) which is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain items. For the 2007 periods, we have excluded costs associated with severance payments made as part of our performance improvement plan and the costs associated with outside consultants engaged by the Board of Directors. For the 2006 periods we have excluded credits resulting from the reversal of certain accruals associated with our attempted merger with Computer Horizons. We believe these adjustments are helpful in providing a meaningful comparison between current results and prior reported results. This non-GAAP financial measure is provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. This measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measure included in this press release has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure.
