CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

          Our disclosure and analysis in this report, including information incorporated by reference, contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of COMSYS IT Partners, Inc. and its subsidiaries. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in, or incorporated into, this report that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements.

          These forward-looking statements are largely based on our expectations and beliefs concerning future events, which reflect estimates and assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market conditions and other factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, including:

	•		economic declines that affect our business, including our profitability, liquidity or the ability to comply with applicable loan covenants;
	•		our success in attracting, training, retaining and motivating billable consultants and key officers and employees;
	•		our ability to shift a larger percentage of our business mix into IT solutions, project management and business process outsourcing and, if successful, our ability to manage those types of business profitably;
	•		changes in levels of unemployment and other economic conditions in the United States, or in particular regions or industries;
	•		weakness or reductions in corporate information technology spending levels;
	•		our ability to maintain existing client relationships and attract new clients in the context of changing economic or competitive conditions;
	•		the financial stability of our customers and other business partners and their ability to pay their outstanding obligations;
	•		the impact of competitive pressures on our ability to maintain or improve our operating margins, including pricing pressures as well as any change in the demand for our services;
	•		the entry of new competitors into the U.S. staffing services market due to the limited barriers to entry or the expansion of existing competitors in that market;
	•		increases in employment-related costs such as healthcare and unemployment taxes;
	•		the possibility of our incurring liability for the activities of our billable consultants or for events impacting our billable consultants on our clients’ premises;
	•		the risk that we may be subject to claims for indemnification under our customer contracts;
	•		the risk in an uncertain economic environment of increased incidences of employment disputes, employment litigation and workers’ compensation claims;
	•		the risk that cost cutting or restructuring activities could cause an adverse impact on certain of our operations;
	•		adverse changes in credit and capital markets conditions that may affect our ability to obtain financing or refinancing on favorable terms or that may warrant changes to existing credit terms;
	•		adverse changes to management’s periodic estimates of future cash flows that may affect our assessment of our ability to fully recover our goodwill; and
	•		whether governments will amend existing regulations or impose additional regulations or licensing requirements in such a manner as to increase our costs of doing business.

          Although we believe our estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. In addition, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. Management cautions all readers that the forward-looking statements contained in this report are not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure any reader that those statements will be realized or that the forward-looking events and circumstances will occur. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements due to the factors listed in this section, the “Risk Factors” section contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and elsewhere in this report. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. General

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.; however, they do include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the results of operations of COMSYS IT Partners, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) for the interim periods presented. The consolidated balance sheet information as of December 30, 2007, and the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity information for the period from December 31, 2006, through December 30, 2007, have been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements but do not include the financial statement footnote information required for audited financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to the prior year statement of cash flows to conform to the current year presentation.

The Company provides a full range of specialized IT staffing and project implementation services, including website development and integration, application programming and development, client/server development, systems software architecture and design, systems engineering and systems integration. The Company also provides services that complement its IT staffing services, such as vendor management, project solutions, process solutions and permanent placement of IT professionals. The Company’s TAPFIN Process Solutions division offers total human capital fulfillment and management solutions within three core service areas: vendor management services, services procurement management and recruitment process outsourcing.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31st and its first three fiscal quarters are 13 calendar weeks each (and each also ends on a Sunday). The fiscal second quarter-ends for 2008 and 2007 were June 29, 2008, and July 1, 2007, respectively.

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. As the Company’s consolidated financial information is reviewed by the chief decision makers, and the business is managed under one operating strategy, the Company operates under one reportable segment. The Company’s principal operations are located in the United States, and the results of operations and long-lived assets in geographic regions outside of the United States are not significant.

2. Business Combinations

On September 30, 2004, COMSYS Holding, Inc. (“COMSYS Holding”) completed a merger transaction with Venturi Partners, Inc. (“Venturi”), a publicly-held IT and commercial staffing company, in which COMSYS Holding merged with a subsidiary of Venturi (the “merger”). At the effective time of the merger, Venturi changed its name to COMSYS IT Partners, Inc. and issued new shares of its common stock to stockholders of COMSYS Holding, resulting in former COMSYS Holding stockholders owning approximately 55.4% of Venturi’s outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis. Since former COMSYS Holding stockholders owned a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock upon consummation of the merger, COMSYS Holding was deemed the acquiring company for accounting and financial reporting purposes. References to “Old COMSYS” are to COMSYS Holding and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the merger, and references to “COMSYS” or “the Company” are to COMSYS IT Partners, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries after the merger. References to “Venturi” are to Venturi and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the merger.

On October 31, 2005, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of Pure Solutions, Inc. (“Pure Solutions”), an information technology services company with operations in California. This acquisition was not material to the Company’s business. The purchase price was comprised of a $7.5 million cash payment at closing plus up to $8.25 million of earnout payments over three years. In connection with the purchase, the Company recorded a customer base intangible asset in the amount of $6.6 million, which was valued using a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of Pure Solutions’ net identifiable assets exceeded the initial purchase price by $1.1 million, and this amount was recorded as a liability at the date of purchase. In June 2006, the Company made an earnout payment of $1.25 million, of which $1.1 million was charged to the liability with the remainder to goodwill. Additional earnout

payments of $2.5 million were paid in 2007, and an earnout payment of $1.25 million was accrued in October 2007 and paid in January 2008. Additional earnout payments of $2.0 million were accrued during the first quarter of 2008 for payment in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. These payments and any future earnout payments are recorded to goodwill. The operations of Pure Solutions are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for periods subsequent to the purchase.

From 2003 to March 2007, the Company owned a 19.9% equity interest in Econometrix, Inc. (“Econometrix”), a California-based vendor management systems software provider. On March 16, 2007, the Company purchased the remaining 80.1% of the outstanding common stock of Econometrix. This acquisition was not material to the Company’s business. Econometrix shareholders received 247,807 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for the remaining 80.1% interest. The operations of Econometrix are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations subsequent to the purchase on March 16, 2007.

On May 31, 2007, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in Plum Rhino Consulting, LLC (“Plum Rhino”), a finance and accounting staffing services provider with operations in Georgia, Illinois, Missouri and North Carolina. This acquisition was not material to the Company’s business. The purchase price included the issuance of 253,606 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Plum Rhino members, debt payments of approximately $0.2 million and up to $3.7 million of earnout payments based on Plum Rhino’s achievement of specified annual EBITDA targets over a three-year period. The former owners of Plum Rhino and the Company have agreed that the earnout target was not met for the first period, and as of June 29, 2008, the Company has not accrued any amounts related to the two remaining potential earnout payments. In connection with the purchase, the Company recorded a customer base intangible asset in the amount of $3.2 million, which was valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, $2.2 million of goodwill and $0.6 million of tangible net assets. The operations of Plum Rhino are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations subsequent to the purchase on May 31, 2007.

On December 12, 2007, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock in Praeos Technologies, Inc. (“Praeos”), an Atlanta-based provider of IT consulting services specializing in the business intelligence and business analytics sectors. This acquisition was not material to the Company’s business. The purchase price was comprised of a $12.0 million cash payment at closing plus up to a $5.5 million earnout payment based on Praeos’ achievement of a specified annual EBITDA target in 2008. As of June 29, 2008, the Company has not accrued any amounts related to the potential earnout payment. In connection with the purchase, the Company recorded $6.2 million of goodwill and $2.4 million of tangible net assets. In addition, the Company escrowed $3.4 million of restricted cash for a payment required to be made to employees or former shareholders in December 2008. In December 2008, the Company will pay $3.4 million out of the escrow account to former employees that participated in the Praeos bonus plan upon the one-year anniversary date of the close of the acquisition if they are still employed by the Company at that time. If there are no bonus plan participants remaining, the funds will be paid to the former shareholders of Praeos. The Company has determined that the bonus plan acquired at acquisition is a compensatory arrangement and, accordingly, will recognize compensation expense ratably in 2008 up to $3.4 million. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, the Company had accrued $0.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, related to the Praeos bonus plan payment. If on the one-year anniversary of the closing date the employees are no longer with the Company and the $3.4 million is to be paid to the former shareholders, the Company will reverse the recognized compensation expense and record additional purchase price. In addition, the Company is party to a $1.4 million escrow set up to indemnify the Company for the breach of any representation, covenant or obligation by the seller. The operations of Praeos are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations subsequent to the purchase on December 12, 2007.

On December 19, 2007, the Company purchased the assets and assumed specified liabilities of T. Williams Consulting, LLC (“TWC”), a Philadelphia-based provider of recruitment process outsourcing and specialty human resources consulting services. This acquisition was not material to the Company’s business. The purchase price was comprised of a $16.5 million cash payment at closing plus up to a $7.5 million earnout payment based on TWC’s achievement of a specified annual EBITDA target in 2008. As of June 29, 2008, the Company has not accrued any amounts related to the potential earnout payment. In connection with the purchase, the Company recorded a customer base intangible asset in the amount of $2.8 million, which was valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, an assembled methodology intangible asset in the amount of $0.2 million, which was valued using an estimated development cost analysis, $11.8 million of goodwill and $1.7 million of tangible net assets. The operations of TWC are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations subsequent to the purchase on December 19, 2007.

On June 26, 2008, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding stock in ASET International Services Corporation (“ASET”), a Virginia-based provider of globalization, localization and interactive language services. This acquisition was not material to the Company’s business. The purchase price was comprised of a $5.0 million cash payment at closing, $1.0 million in notes payable to the former owners and up to a $1.0 million earnout payment based on ASET’s achievement of a specified EBITDA target over the twelve months following the acquisition. As of June 29, 2008, the Company has not accrued any amounts related to the potential earnout payment. The notes accrue interest at the rate of 6% annually and are payable on June 30, 2010. The notes are

included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In connection with the purchase, the Company recorded customer base intangible assets in the amount of $0.9 million, which was valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, $3.5 million of goodwill and $1.6 million of tangible net assets. As of June 29, 2008, the Company recorded the excess of the cost over the amounts assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities to goodwill; however, the initial purchase price allocation is tentative as the Company continues to review the evaluation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including other intangible assets. The operations of ASET are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations subsequent to the purchase on June 26, 2008.

None of these acquisitions, individually or in the aggregate, required financial statement filings under Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X.

3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company uses fair value measurements in areas that include, but are not limited to: the allocation of purchase price consideration to acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets, impairment testing of goodwill and long-lived assets and share-based compensation arrangements. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable, and payroll and related taxes approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s revolving line of credit, senior term loan and interest payable approximates fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rates under the Company’s senior credit agreement. The Company, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, has determined the estimated fair value of its financial instruments. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting data to develop the estimates of fair value.

On December 31, 2007, The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which established a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s senior term loan and borrowings under the revolver bear interest at the prime rate plus a margin that can range from 0.75% to 1.00%, or, at the Company’s option, LIBOR plus a margin that can range from 1.75% to 2.00%, each depending on the Company’s total debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, as defined in the senior credit agreement, as amended. The Company pays a quarterly commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on the unused portion of the revolver. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries guarantee the loans and other obligations under the senior credit agreement. The obligations under the senior credit agreement are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries, as well as the shares of capital stock of its direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries and certain of the capital stock of its foreign subsidiaries. Pursuant to the terms of the senior credit agreement, the Company maintains a zero balance in its primary domestic cash accounts. Any excess cash in those domestic accounts is swept on a daily basis and applied to repay borrowings under the revolver, and any cash needs are satisfied through borrowings under the revolver.

Borrowings under the revolver are limited to 85% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the senior credit agreement, as amended, reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit and designated reserves. At June 29, 2008, these designated reserves were: a $5.0 million minimum availability reserve, a $1.9 million reserve for outstanding letters of credit and a $2.0 million reserve for the Pure Solutions acquisition. At June 29, 2008, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $67.5 million under the revolver at interest rates ranging from 4.2% to 5.75% per annum (weighted average rate of 4.5%) and excess borrowing availability under the revolver of $90.2 million for general corporate purposes. At June 29, 2008, the Company’s debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio resulted in a prime rate margin of 0.75% and a LIBOR margin of 1.75%. Fees paid on outstanding letters of credit are equal to the LIBOR margin then applicable to the revolver, which at June 29, 2008, was 1.75%. At June 29, 2008, outstanding letters of credit totaled $1.9

million. The principal balance of the senior term loan was $2.5 million with an interest rate of 4.56% at June 29, 2008. The senior term loan is scheduled to be repaid in eight equal quarterly principal installments of $1.25 million each, the sixth of which was made on June 26, 2008.

The senior credit agreement contains various events of default, including failure to pay principal and interest when due, breach of covenants, materially incorrect representations, default under other agreements, bankruptcy or insolvency, the occurrence of specified ERISA events, entry of enforceable judgments against the Company in excess of $2.0 million not stayed and the occurrence of a change of control. In the event of a default, all commitments under the revolver may be terminated and all of the Company’s obligations under the senior credit agreement could be accelerated by the lenders, causing all loans and borrowings outstanding (including accrued interest and fees payable thereunder) to be declared immediately due and payable. In the case of bankruptcy or insolvency, acceleration of obligations under the Company’s senior credit agreement is automatic.

The senior credit agreement contains customary covenants, including the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio and a total debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, as defined in the senior credit agreement, as amended. The senior credit agreement also places restrictions on the Company’s ability to enter into certain transactions without the approval of the lenders, such as the payment of dividends, disposition and acquisition of assets and the assumption of contingent obligations. As of June 29, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all covenant requirements.

5. Income Taxes

The income tax expense of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 29, 2008, contains the following amounts: current expenses totaling $0.1 million for federal alternative minimum tax, miscellaneous state income tax expenses and foreign income taxes related to the Company’s profitable United Kingdom subsidiary and a deferred expense in the amount of $1.2 million resulting from the release of a portion of the valuation allowance on Venturi’s acquired net deferred tax assets from the merger.

The income tax expense of $2.7 million for the six months ended June 29, 2008, contains the following amounts: current expenses totaling $0.3 million for federal alternative minimum tax, miscellaneous state income tax expenses and foreign income taxes related to the Company’s profitable United Kingdom subsidiary and a deferred expense in the amount of $2.4 million resulting from the release of a portion of the valuation allowance on Venturi’s acquired net deferred tax assets from the merger.

The Company records an income tax valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company carried a valuation allowance against most of its deferred tax assets as of June 29, 2008. These deferred tax items represent expenses or operating losses recognized for financial reporting purposes, which will result in tax deductions over varying future periods. The judgments, assumptions and estimates that may affect the amount of the valuation allowance include estimates of future taxable income, timing or amount of future reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and other tax planning strategies that may be available to the Company. If the Company continues to be profitable, the Company will evaluate quarterly its estimates of the recoverability of its deferred tax assets based on its assessment of whether it’s more likely than not that any portion of these fully reserved assets become recoverable through future taxable income. At such time, that the Company no longer has a reserve for its deferred tax assets, it will record a deferred tax asset and related tax benefit in the period the valuation allowance is reversed, and it will begin to provide for taxes at the full statutory rate.

As of June 29, 2008, the Company had $48.7 million in net deferred tax assets and had recorded a valuation allowance against $47.8 million of those assets. The decrease in the valuation allowance from December 30, 2007, resulted primarily from pre-tax book income earned during the six months ended June 29, 2008. Although the Company’s net deferred tax assets are substantially offset with a valuation allowance, a portion of its fully reserved deferred tax assets that become realized through operating profits are recognized as a reduction to goodwill to the extent they relate to benefits acquired in the merger. This results in deferred tax expense in the year the acquired deferred tax assets are utilized.  This portion of deferred tax expense represents the consumption of pre-merger deferred tax assets that were acquired with zero basis.  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company calculated a goodwill bifurcation ratio in the year of the merger to determine the amount of deferred tax expense that should be offset to goodwill prospectively.

The Company has not paid United States federal income tax on the undistributed foreign earnings of its foreign subsidiaries as it is the Company’s intent to reinvest such earnings in its foreign subsidiaries. Pretax income attributable to the Company’s profitable foreign operations amounted to $0.2 million and $0.3 million in the six months ended June 29, 2008, and July 1, 2007, respectively.

There was no amount recorded for uncertain income tax positions at June 29, 2008, or December 30, 2007.

The Company may, from time to time, be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to its financial results. In the event it has received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense. For the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, and July 1, 2007, the Company has not recorded any interest or penalties.

6. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.

Dilutive securities at June 29, 2008, include 248,654 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. The warrant holders are entitled to participate in dividends declared on common stock as if the warrants were exercised for common stock. As a result, for purposes of calculating basic earnings per common share, income attributable to warrant holders has been excluded from net income.

Additionally, dilutive securities at June 29, 2008, include 535,325 unvested restricted shares. The unvested restricted stockholders are entitled to participate in dividends declared on common stock as if the shares were fully vested. As a result, for purposes of calculating basic earnings per common share, income attributable to unvested restricted stockholders has been excluded from net income.

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows, in thousands, except per share amounts:

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 29,				July 1,				June 29,				July 1,
		2008				2007				2008				2007
Net income attributable to common stockholders — basic		$	5,976			$	9,218			$	10,881			$	14,524
Net income attributable to unvested restricted stockholders			161				239				299				344
Net income attributable to warrant holders			75				115				136				186
Total net income		$	6,212			$	9,572			$	11,316			$	15,054
Weighted average common shares outstanding — basic			19,592				19,243				19,585				19,044
Add: dilutive restricted stock, stock options and warrants			1,044				952				1,043				1,043
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding			20,636				20,195				20,628				20,087
Basic earnings per common share		$	0.31			$	0.48			$	0.56			$	0.76
Diluted earnings per common share		$	0.30			$	0.47			$	0.55			$	0.75

For the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, and July 1, 2007, 309,153 shares and 1,990 shares, respectively, attributable to outstanding stock options and warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has indemnified members of its board of directors and its corporate officers against any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that the individual is or was a director or officer of the Company. The individuals are indemnified, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against related expenses, judgments, fines and any amounts paid in settlement. The Company also maintains directors and officers insurance coverage in order to mitigate exposure to these indemnification obligations. The maximum amount of future payments is generally unlimited. There was no amount recorded for these indemnifications at June 29, 2008, and December 30, 2007. Due to the nature of these indemnifications, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential loss or range of loss. No assets are held as collateral and no specific recourse provisions exist related to these indemnifications.

The Company leases various office space and equipment under noncancelable operating leases expiring through 2018. Certain leases include free rent periods, rent escalation clauses and renewal options. Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rent expense was $1.9 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended June 29, 2008, and July 1, 2007, respectively,

and $3.7 million and $3.4 million for the six months ended June 29, 2008, and July 1, 2007, respectively. Sublease income was $0.1 million and $15,000 for the three months ended June 29, 2008, and July 1, 2007, respectively, and $0.2 million and $15,000 for the six months ended June 29, 2008, and July 1, 2007, respectively.

In connection with the merger and the sale of Venturi’s commercial staffing business, the Company placed $2.5 million of cash and 187,556 shares of its common stock in separate escrows pending the final determination of certain state tax and unclaimed property assessments. The shares were released from escrow on September 30, 2006, in accordance with the merger agreement, while the cash remains in escrow. The Company has recorded liabilities for amounts management believes are adequate to resolve all of the matters these escrows were intended to cover; however, management cannot ascertain at this time what the final outcome of these assessments will be in the aggregate and it is possible that management’s estimates could change. The escrowed cash is included in restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A final determination of one of these liabilities was made in 2007 after the Company was able to accumulate the required data to finalize the assessment with one of the jurisdictions. The final determination resulted in a $3.8 million reduction to goodwill and other current liabilities. The Company intends to make a claim against the escrow account related to this settlement in the amount of $0.8 million.

In connection with the purchase of Praeos in December 2007, the Company placed $3.4 million in an escrow account restricted in use for a payment due to employees or former shareholders on the one-year anniversary of the closing date of the acquisition as more fully described in Note 2. The disbursement of these funds in December 2008 will not affect the Company’s cash flow from operations as this amount was part of cash flows used in investing activities in the fourth quarter of 2007.

The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain of its executives covering, among other things, base compensation, incentive bonus determinations and payments in the event of termination or a change of control of the Company.

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business and is defending them vigorously. While the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the final outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. Any cost to settle litigation will be included in selling, general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

8. Stock Compensation Plans

The Company has four stock-based compensation plans with outstanding equity awards: the 1995 Equity Participation Plan (“1995 Plan”), the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (“2003 Equity Plan”), the COMSYS IT Partners, Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan As Amended and Restated Effective April 13, 2007 (“2004 Equity Plan”) and the 2004 Management Incentive Plan (“2004 Incentive Plan”).

In 2003, Venturi terminated the 1995 Plan in connection with its financial restructuring. As a result of the merger, all outstanding options under the 1995 Plan were vested and are exercisable. Only 1,157 stock options remained outstanding under the 1995 Plan as of June 29, 2008, and these options have a weighted average exercise price of $175.97 per share and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 1.1 years. Although the 1995 Plan has been terminated and no future option issuances will be made under it, these remaining outstanding stock options will continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms.

In 2003, Venturi adopted the 2003 Equity Plan under which the Company may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options and other stock-based awards in the Company’s common stock to officers and other key employees. On the date of the merger, all outstanding options under the 2003 Equity Plan at that time vested and became exercisable. Options granted under the 2003 Equity Plan have a term of 10 years.  

In connection with the merger, the Company’s board of directors adopted and the stockholders approved the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, which was subsequently amended and restated in 2007. Under the 2004 Equity Plan, the Company may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based awards in its common stock to officers, employees, directors and consultants. Options granted under this plan generally vest over a three-year period from the date of grant and have a term of 10 years.

Effective January 1, 2004, Old COMSYS adopted the 2004 Incentive Plan. The 2004 Incentive Plan was structured as a stock issuance program under which certain executive officers and key employees might receive shares of Old COMSYS nonvoting Class D Preferred Stock in exchange for payment at the then current fair market value of these shares. Effective July 1, 2004, 1,000 shares of Class D Preferred Stock were issued by Old COMSYS under the 2004 Incentive Plan. Effective with the merger, these shares were exchanged for a total of 1,405,844 shares of restricted common stock of COMSYS. Of these shares, one-third vested on the date of

the merger, one-third vested over a three-year period subsequent to merger, and one-third vested over a three-year period subject to specific performance criteria being met. Effective September 30, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Committee”) made certain modifications to the Plan after concluding that the performance vesting targets appeared to be unattainable. Although there will be no future restricted stock issuances under the 2004 Incentive Plan, the remaining outstanding restricted stock awards will continue to vest in accordance with their terms. In accordance with the terms of the 2004 Incentive Plan, any shares forfeited by participants will be distributed to certain stockholders of Old COMSYS.

A summary of the activity related to stock options granted under the 2003 Equity Plan and the 2004 Equity Plan is as follows:

														Weighted-Average
		2003				2004								Exercise Price

The following table summarizes information related to stock options outstanding and exercisable under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans at June 29, 2008:

		Options Outstanding												Options Exercisable
						Weighted
						Average				Weighted								Weighted
						Contractual				Average								Average
		Options				Years				Exercise Price				Options				Exercise Price
Range of Exercise Prices		Outstanding				Remaining				per Share				Exercisable				per Share
$7.80			219,000				4.79			$	7.80				219,000			$	7.80
$8.55 to $8.88			227,935				6.21			$	8.56				194,591			$	8.57

For additional vesting information on stock option grants issued or modified prior to 2008, see Footnote 10 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2007.

The fair value of options modified in 2007 was estimated on the date of modification using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the assumptions noted in the following table. There were no options granted in 2007 or in the first six months of 2008.

		2007
Expected life (in years)			6.0
Risk-free interest rate			4.750	%
Expected volatility			46.8	%
Dividend yield			0.0	%
Weighted average fair value of options modified		$	17.29

Option valuation models, including the Black-Scholes model used by the Company, require the input of assumptions, including expected life and expected stock price volatility. Due to the limited number of option exercises following the merger, the expected

term was estimated as the approximate midpoint between the vesting term and the contractual term; this represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life of the option at the grant date. The expected volatility assumption for stock option modifications during 2007 was based on actual historical volatility of the Company’s common stock from the period after the Company’s December 2005 common stock offering through 2006. The Company does not anticipate paying a dividend and, therefore, no expected dividend yield was used.

Cash received from option and warrant exercises during the six months ended June 29, 2008, and July 1, 2007, was $73,000 and $1.6 million, respectively, and was included in financing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended June 29, 2008, and July 1, 2007, was $20,000 and $1.5 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 29, 2008, and July 1, 2007, was $20,000 and $2.1 million, respectively. The Company has historically used newly issued shares to satisfy share option exercises and expects to continue to do so in future periods.

Restricted stock awards are grants that entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the awards vest. The Company measures the fair value of restricted shares based upon the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock awards that vest in accordance with service conditions are amortized over their applicable vesting periods using the straight-line method. For nonvested share awards subject to service and performance conditions, the Company is required to assess the probability that such performance conditions will be met. If the likelihood of the performance condition being met is deemed probable, the Company will recognize the expense using the straight-line attribution method.

A summary of the activity related to restricted stock granted under the 2004 Equity Plan and the 2004 Management Incentive Plan is as follows:

						Weighted Average
						Grant Date Fair
		Shares				Value Per Share
Nonvested balance at December 31, 2006			353,550			$	15.56
Granted			244,000			$	21.70
Vested			(87,748	)		$	16.63
Forfeited			(19,167	)		$	13.09
Nonvested balance at December 30, 2007			490,635			$	18.34
Granted			259,878			$	12.98
Vested			(143,061	)		$	16.97
Forfeited			(72,127	)		$	17.31
Nonvested balance at June 29, 2008			535,325			$	16.24

The nonvested shares in the table above issued to non-executive employees are subject to a three-year time-based vesting requirement. The nonvested shares issued to executive officers are subject to either a three-year time-based vesting requirement or a three-year performance-based vesting requirement. The compensation expense associated with these shares is amortized using the straight-line method. For additional vesting information on restricted stock grants issued or modified prior to 2008, see Footnote 10 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2007.

Effective January 2, 2008, the Committee approved equity grants to five executive officers, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. One-quarter (25%) of these shares will time-vest in equal annual installments over three years. The remaining shares will performance-vest at the end of the three-year period based on the Company’s earnings per share (“EPS”) growth as compared against the BMO staffing stock index during the three-year period. The performance shares will fully vest if the Company’s EPS growth is in the top 25% of the index. The performance shares will vest 50% or 25% if the Company’s EPS growth is in the second 25% or third 25% of the index, respectively. No shares will vest if the Company’s EPS growth is in the bottom 25% of the index. The fair value of the performance-based shares awarded was estimated assuming that performance goals will be reached. If such goals are not met, no performance-based compensation will be recognized and any previously recognized compensation cost will be reversed. The vesting percentages will be prorated within individual tiers, except that no shares will vest for EPS growth in the bottom tier.

As of June 29, 2008, there was $6.8 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested option and restricted stock awards granted under the plans, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 22 months. The total fair

value of shares and options that vested during the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, was $0.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

9. Related Party Transactions

Elias J. Sabo, a member of the Company’s board of directors, also serves on the board of directors of The Compass Group, the parent company of Venturi Staffing Partners (“VSP”), a former Venturi subsidiary.  VSP provides commercial staffing services to the Company and its clients in the normal course of its business.  During the three months ended June 29, 2008, the Company and its clients purchased approximately $3.0 million of staffing services from VSP for services provided to the Company’s vendor management clients.  At June 29, 2008, the Company had approximately $1.8 million in accounts payable to VSP.

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 157, which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and the Company adopted the new requirements in its fiscal first quarter of 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2 (“FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB also issued FSP No. 157-1 that would exclude leasing transactions accounted for under SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements. The Company does not expect the SFAS 157 related guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and the Company adopted the new requirements in its fiscal first quarter of 2008. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”), which provides new accounting requirements for business combinations. SFAS 141(R) defines a business combination as a transaction or other event in which an acquirer obtains control of one of more businesses. SFAS 141(R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and the Company will adopt the new requirements in its fiscal first quarter of 2009. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, of adopting SFAS 141(R) on its future consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our strategy for achieving this growth includes cross-selling our vendor management services, project solutions services and process solutions services to existing IT staffing customers, aggressively marketing our services to new clients, expanding our range of value-added services, enhancing brand recognition and making strategic acquisitions.

The success of our business depends primarily on the volume of assignments we secure, the bill rates for those assignments, the costs of the consultants that provide the services and the quality and efficiency of our recruiting, sales and marketing and administrative functions. Our brand name, our proven track record, our recruiting and candidate screening processes, our strong account management team and our efficient and consistent administrative processes are factors that we believe are key to the success of our business. Factors outside of our control, such as the demand for IT and other professional services, general economic conditions and the supply of qualified professionals, will also affect our success.

Our revenue is primarily driven by bill rates and billable hours in our staffing and solutions businesses. Most of our billings for our staffing and solutions services are on a time-and-materials basis, which means we bill our customers based on previously agreed on bill rates for the number of hours that each of our consultants works on an assignment. Hourly bill rates are typically determined based on the level of skill and experience of the consultants assigned and the supply and demand in the current market for those qualifications. General economic conditions, macro IT and professional service expenditure trends and competition may create pressure on our pricing. Increasingly, large customers, including those with preferred supplier arrangements, have been seeking pricing discounts in exchange for higher volumes of business or maintaining existing levels of business. Billable hours are affected by numerous factors, such as the quality and scope of our service offerings and competition at the national and local levels. We also generate fee income by providing vendor management and permanent placement services.

Our principal operating expenses are cost of services and selling, general and administrative expenses. Cost of services is comprised primarily of the costs of consultant labor, including employees, subcontractors and independent contractors, and related employee benefits. Approximately 60% of our consultants are employees and the remainder are subcontractors and independent contractors. We compensate most of our consultants only for the hours that we bill to our clients, which allows us to better match our labor costs with our revenue generation. With respect to our consultant employees, we are responsible for employment-related taxes, medical and health care costs and workers’ compensation. Labor costs are sensitive to shifts in the supply and demand of billable professionals, as well as increases in the costs of benefits and taxes.

The principal components of selling, general and administrative expenses are salaries, selling and recruiting commissions, advertising, lead generation and other marketing costs and branch office expenses. Our branch office network allows us to leverage certain selling, general and administrative expenses, such as advertising and back office functions.

Our back office functions, including payroll, billing, accounts payable, collections and financial reporting, are consolidated in our customer service center in Phoenix, Arizona, which operates on a PeopleSoft platform. As previously reported, we are implementing an upgrade to PeopleSoft. During the third quarter of 2008, we expect that we will implement the upgrade on a company-wide basis. We also have a proprietary, web-enabled front-office system that facilitates the identification, qualification and placement of consultants in a timely manner. We maintain a national recruiting center, a centralized call center for scheduling sales appointments and a centralized proposals and contract services department. We believe we have a scalable infrastructure that allows us to provide high quality service to our customers and will facilitate our internal growth strategy and allow us to continue to integrate acquisitions rapidly.

Our fiscal second quarter-ends for 2008 and 2007 were June 29, 2008, and July 1, 2007, respectively.

Overview of Second Quarter 2008 Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2008 was $184.1 million, down from $186.6 million for the second quarter of 2007 but up sequentially from $183.4 million in the first quarter of this year. Excluding the revenues from COMSYS’ December 2007 acquisitions, revenue declined by 3.6% versus the prior-year period. Net income in the second quarter was $6.2 million, down from $9.6 million in the second quarter of last year, and diluted earnings per share of $0.30 were down from $0.47 per diluted share over the same period. The second quarter of 2008 included the previously announced non-cash compensation charge associated with the Praeos acquisition and a higher effective tax rate than in the prior-year period. These items reduced earnings per share in the second quarter of 2008 by $0.09 when compared to the second quarter of 2007. Net income and diluted earnings per share in the second quarter were both up sequentially from $5.1 million and $0.25, respectively, in the first quarter this year.

After further billable headcount declines through the first six weeks of the second quarter, headcount stabilized and our operating results in the latter half of the quarter were better than anticipated. Our expectations for the balance of the year are conservative in light of the broader trends we see in the economic data. We ended the second quarter of 2008 with 4,646 consultants on assignment, which was down from 4,996 at the end of the second quarter of 2007. The headcount declines we have seen have not been concentrated in any one geography or at any one client.

2008 Outlook

Our priorities for the balance of 2008 will not change from those previously disclosed. Internal growth will stay at the top of our priority list, and we are focused on sales, marketing and recruiting to our core customer base and on adding new customers through our TAPFIN Process Solutions division. Additionally, we will continue to improve our balance sheet, where we feel we can generate additional cost savings through further debt reductions and working capital management. Continuing improvements in efficiency are also a priority, and we are devoting considerable attention to process improvements, especially in sales and recruiting and in our front and back offices. We are also focused on hiring additional account managers as we believe we have an opportunity to gain market share during the current economic slowdown. We will complement these operational priorities by continuing to look for acquisitions that meet our criteria.

We have previously discussed the prospects of an upcoming change in our tax rate. We evaluate quarterly our estimates of the recoverability of our deferred tax assets based on our assessment of whether it’s more likely than not that any portion of these fully reserved assets become recoverable through future taxable income. Management believes that the Company may reach this threshold in the third quarter of 2008. If the criteria are met in the third quarter and we no longer have a reserve for our deferred tax assets, we will

record a deferred tax asset and related tax benefit in the period the valuation allowance is reversed, and we will begin to provide for taxes at the full statutory rate. We do not expect the Company to pay any substantial amount of cash taxes in 2008.

Billable headcount at end of period			4,646				4,996

We recorded operating income of $8.6 million and net income of $6.2 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to operating income of $12.1 million and net income of $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2007. The decrease in net income was due primarily to a decrease in gross profit and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization and income tax expense partially offset by decreases in cost of services and interest expense.

Revenues. Revenues for the second quarter of 2008 and the second quarter of 2007 were $184.1 million and $186.6 million, respectively, a decrease of 1.4%. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in average headcount between periods, partially offset by an increase in average bill rates. Reimbursable expense revenue increased to $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2008 from $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2007. This increase had no impact on gross margin dollars as the related reimbursable expense was recognized in the same period. We continued to see bill rate pressures from our customers, particularly among Fortune 500 clients. Revenues from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector increased by 40% in the second quarter of 2008 from the second quarter of 2007. This increase was partially offset by revenue decreases of 11% and 7% from the telecommunications and financial services sectors, respectively, over the same period.

Cost of Services. Cost of services for the second quarter of 2008 and the second quarter of 2007 were $139.2 million and $139.8 million, respectively, a decrease of 0.4%. The decrease was due primarily to decreases in billable headcount between periods partially offset by the increase in reimbursable expenses. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased to 75.6% in the second quarter of 2008 from 74.9% in the second quarter of 2007.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2008 and the second quarter of 2007 were $34.3 million and $33.1 million, respectively, an increase of 3.5%. The increase was due primarily to the additional selling, general and administrative expenses at the businesses acquired in 2007, including the non-cash charge of approximately $0.8 million for additional employee compensation relating to the Praeos purchase in December 2007. Included in these amounts are $1.2 million and $1.0 million of stock-based compensation, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 18.6% in the second quarter of 2008 from 17.8% in the second quarter of 2007.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense consists primarily of depreciation of our fixed assets and amortization of our customer base intangible assets. For the second quarter of 2008 and the second quarter of 2007, depreciation and amortization expense was $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, an increase of 19.4% between periods. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to the amortization of the Plum Rhino and TWC customer list intangibles and the TWC assembled methodology intangible.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, was $1.3 million and $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2008 and the second quarter of 2007, respectively, a decrease of 44.3%. The decrease was due to our overall debt reduction during 2007 as well as a reduction in our related interest rates.

Provision for Income Taxes. Our 2008 income tax expense is lower than the statutory rates given that income tax expense was in large part offset by a decrease in our valuation allowance. The expense for the three months ended June 29, 2008, contains the following amounts: current expenses totaling $0.1 million for federal alternative minimum tax, miscellaneous state income tax expenses and foreign income taxes related to our profitable United Kingdom subsidiary and a deferred tax expense in the amount of $1.2 million resulting from the release of a portion of the valuation allowance on Venturi’s acquired net deferred assets from the merger. Although our net deferred tax asset is substantially offset with a valuation allowance, a portion of our fully reserved deferred tax assets that became realized through operating profits are recognized as a reduction to goodwill to the extent they relate to benefits acquired in the merger. This results in deferred tax expense as the assets are utilized.  This portion of deferred tax expense represents the consumption of pre-merger deferred tax assets that were acquired with zero basis.  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, we calculated a goodwill bifurcation ratio in the year of the merger to determine the amount of deferred tax expense that should be offset to goodwill prospectively.

Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. We continue to evaluate quarterly our estimates of the recoverability of our deferred tax assets based on our assessment of whether it is more likely than not any portion of these fully reserved assets are recoverable through future taxable income. At such time that we no longer have a reserve for our deferred tax assets, we will begin to provide for taxes at the full statutory rate. In addition, we are subject to the examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes.

Net income		$	11,316			$	15,054				3.1	%			4.0	%			-24.8	%

We recorded operating income of $16.7 million and net income of $11.3 million in the six months ended June 29, 2008, compared to operating income of $20.2 million and net income of $15.1 million in the six months ended July 1, 2007. The decrease in net income

was due primarily to a decrease in gross profit and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization and income tax expense partially offset by decreases in cost of services and interest expense.

Revenues. Revenues for the six months ended June 29, 2008, and the six months ended July 1, 2007, were $367.4 million and $372.8 million, respectively, a decrease of 1.4%. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in average headcount between periods, partially offset by an increase in average bill rates. Reimbursable expense revenue increased to $7.9 million in the six months ended June 29, 2008, from $5.5 million in the six months ended July 1, 2007. This increase had no impact on gross margin dollars as the related reimbursable expense was recognized in the same period. We continued to see bill rate pressures from our customers, particularly among Fortune 500 clients. Revenues from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector increased by 43% in the six months ended June 29, 2008, from the six months ended July 1, 2007. This increase was partially offset by revenue decreases of 13% and 11% from the telecommunications and financial services sector, respectively, over the same period.

Cost of Services. Cost of services for the six months ended June 29, 2008, and the six months ended July 1, 2007, were $278.0 million and $281.0 million, respectively, a decrease of 1.1%. The decrease was due primarily to decreases in billable headcount between periods partially offset by the increase in reimbursable expenses. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased slightly to 75.6% in the six months ended June 29, 2008, from 75.4% in the six months ended July 1, 2007. Although we have seen an increase in our average pay rates in 2008 over 2007, our bill rates have increased slightly more than the increase in our pay rates.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 29, 2008, and the six months ended July 1, 2007, were $69.1 million and $68.6 million, respectively, an increase of 0.7%. The increase was due primarily to additional selling, general and administrative expenses at the businesses acquired in 2007 including the non-cash charge of approximately $1.7 million for additional employee compensation relating to the Praeos purchase in December 2007. Included in these amounts are $2.3 million and $2.8 million of stock-based compensation, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 18.8% in the six months ended June 29, 2008, from 18.4% in the six months ended July 1, 2007.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense consists primarily of depreciation of our fixed assets and amortization of our customer base intangible assets. For the six months ended June 29, 2008, and six months ended July 1, 2007, depreciation and amortization expense was $3.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively, an increase of 22.0% between periods. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to the amortization of the Plum Rhino and TWC customer list intangibles and the TWC assembled methodology intangible.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, was $2.9 million and $4.7 million in the six months ended June 29, 2008, and the six months ended July 1, 2007, respectively, a decrease of 38.9%. The decrease was due to our overall debt reduction during 2007 as well as a reduction in our related interest rates.

Provision for Income Taxes. Our 2008 income tax expense is lower than the statutory rates given that income tax expense was in large part offset by a decrease in our valuation allowance. The expense for the six months ended June 29, 2008, contains the following amounts: current expenses totaling $0.3 million for federal alternative minimum tax, miscellaneous state income tax expenses and foreign income taxes related to our profitable United Kingdom subsidiary and a deferred tax expense in the amount of $2.4 million resulting from the release of a portion of the valuation allowance on Venturi’s acquired net deferred assets from the merger. Although our net deferred tax asset is substantially offset with a valuation allowance, a portion of our fully reserved deferred tax assets that became realized through operating profits are recognized as a reduction to goodwill to the extent they relate to benefits acquired in the merger. This results in deferred tax expense as the assets are utilized.  This portion of deferred tax expense represents the consumption of pre-merger deferred tax assets that were acquired with zero basis.  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, we calculated a goodwill bifurcation ratio in the year of the merger to determine the amount of deferred tax expense that should be offset to goodwill prospectively.

As of June 29, 2008, we had state and federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $106 million and $100 million, respectively, an alternative minimum tax credit carryforward of $0.4 million, and had recorded a reserve against the assets for net operating loss carryforwards due to the uncertainty related to the realization of these amounts.

Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. We continue to evaluate quarterly our estimates of the recoverability of our deferred tax assets based on our assessment of whether it is more likely than not any portion of these fully reserved are recoverable through future taxable income. At such time that we no longer have a reserve for our deferred tax assets, we will begin to provide for taxes at the full

statutory rate. In addition, we are subject to the examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have historically financed our operations through cash flow from operations, the issuance of common stock and borrowings under our credit facilities. Due to the requirements of our revolving credit facility, as discussed in more detail below under the “Cash Flows” section, we do not maintain a significant cash balance. Excess borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility at June 29, 2008, was $90.2 million. Our borrowing availability is impacted by the timing of cash receipts, including vendor management payments. We believe our cash flow provided by operating activities coupled with existing cash balances and availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital, debt service and purchases of fixed assets through fiscal 2008. In connection with the purchase of Praeos in December 2007, we placed $3.4 million in an escrow account restricted in use for a payment due to employees or former shareholders on the one-year anniversary of the closing date of the acquisition as more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. The disbursement of these funds in December 2008 will not affect our cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter as this amount was part of cash flows used in investing activities in the fourth quarter of 2007. In the event that we make future acquisitions, we may need to seek additional capital from our lenders or the capital markets; there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available when we need it, or, if available, that it will be available on favorable terms.

The performance of our business is dependent on many factors and subject to risks and uncertainties. See “Risks Related to Our Business” and “Risk Related to Our Indebtedness” under “Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Working Capital

Accounts receivable is a significant component of our working capital. We monitor our accounts receivable through a variety of metrics, including days sales outstanding (“DSO”). We calculate our consolidated DSO by determining average daily revenue based on an annualized three-month analysis and divide it into the gross accounts receivable balance as of the end of the period. Accounts receivable were $218.6 million and $189.3 million as of June 29, 2008, and December 30, 2007, respectively. As of June 29, 2008, our consolidated DSO was 45 days as compared to 43 days as of December 30, 2007. The increase in consolidated DSO is primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable, the timing of vendor management receipts and the seasonality we experienced in our fourth quarter. As a result of the timing of vendor management receipts and the seasonality in our operations, our consolidated DSO may materially fluctuate. Our consolidated DSO at the end of the second quarter of 2008 was favorably impacted by the receipt of a large vendor management payment.

Additionally, we calculate a DSO for vendor management services (“VMS DSO”) by determining average daily vendor management service gross revenue based on an annualized three-month analysis and divide it into the gross vendor management accounts receivable balance as of the end of the period. Vendor management accounts receivable were $102.9 million and $80.7 million as of June 29, 2008, and December 30, 2007, respectively. As of June 29, 2008, our VMS DSO was 37 days as compared to 34 days as of December 30, 2007. The increase in VMS DSO is primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable, the timing of vendor management receipts and the seasonality we experienced in our fourth quarter. As a result of the timing of vendor management receipts and the seasonality in our operations, our VMS DSO may materially fluctuate. Our VMS DSO at the end of the second quarter of 2008 was favorably impacted by the receipt of a large vendor management payment.

Our total accounts payable were $167.1 million and $145.6 million as of June 29, 2008, and December 30, 2007, respectively. Our vendor management services accounts payable were $51.5 million and $29.6 million as of June 29, 2008, and December 30, 2007, respectively.

Credit Agreements and Related Covenants

Our senior term loan and borrowings under the revolver bear interest at the prime rate plus a margin that can range from 0.75% to 1.00%, or, at our option, LIBOR plus a margin that can range from 1.75% to 2.00%, each depending on our total debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, as defined in our senior credit agreement, as amended. We pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on the unused portion of the revolver. We and certain of our subsidiaries guarantee the loans and other obligations under the senior credit

agreement. The obligations under the senior credit agreement are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of us and our U.S. subsidiaries, as well as the shares of capital stock of our direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries and certain of the capital stock of our foreign subsidiaries. Pursuant to the terms of the senior credit agreement, we maintain a zero balance in our primary domestic cash accounts. Any excess cash in those domestic accounts is swept on a daily basis and applied to repay borrowings under the revolver, and any cash needs are satisfied through borrowings under the revolver.

Borrowings under the revolver are limited to 85% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the senior credit agreement and related amendments, reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit and designated reserves. At June 29, 2008, these designated reserves were: a $5.0 million minimum availability reserve, a $1.9 million reserve for outstanding letters of credit and a $2.0 million reserve for the Pure Solutions acquisition. At June 29, 2008, we had outstanding borrowings of $67.5 million under the revolver at interest rates ranging from 4.2% to 5.75% per annum (weighted average rate of 4.5%) and excess borrowing availability under the revolver of $90.2 million for general corporate purposes. Our average daily debt balance during the second quarter was $82.6 million. At June 29, 2008, our debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio resulted in a prime rate margin of 0.75% and a LIBOR margin of 1.75%. Fees paid on outstanding letters of credit are equal to the LIBOR margin then applicable to the revolver, which at June 29, 2008, was 1.75%. At June 29, 2008, outstanding letters of credit totaled $1.9 million. The principal balance of the senior term loan was $2.5 million with an interest rate of 4.56% at June 29, 2008. The senior term loan is scheduled to be repaid in eight equal quarterly principal installments of $1.25 million each, the sixth of which was made on June 26, 2008.

Debt Compliance

Our ability to continue operating is largely dependent upon our ability to maintain compliance with the financial covenants of our senior credit agreement, as amended. The credit agreement contains customary covenants, including the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio and a total debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio. The senior credit agreement also places restrictions on our ability to enter into certain transactions without the approval of the lenders, such as the payment of dividends, disposition and acquisition of assets and the assumption of contingent obligations. The senior credit agreement provides for mandatory prepayments under certain circumstances. We have not paid cash dividends in the past and currently have no intention of paying them in the future. As of June 29, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenant requirements and we believe we will be able to comply with these covenants throughout 2008.

The senior credit agreement contains various events of default, including failure to pay principal and interest when due, breach of covenants, materially incorrect representations, default under other agreements, bankruptcy or insolvency, the occurrence of specified ERISA events, entry of enforceable judgments against us in excess of $2.0 million not stayed and the occurrence of a change of control. In the event of a default, all commitments under the revolver may be terminated and all of our obligations under the senior credit agreement could be accelerated by the lenders, causing all loans and borrowings outstanding (including accrued interest and fees payable thereunder) to be declared immediately due and payable. In the case of bankruptcy or insolvency, acceleration of our obligations under our senior credit agreement is automatic.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the periods indicated, in thousands:

		Six Months Ended
		June 29,				July 1,
		2008				2007
Net cash provided by operating activities		$	11,588			$	613
Net cash used in investing activities			(9,648	)			(1,804	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities			(1,852	)			1,316
Effect of exchange rates on cash			1				43
Net increase in cash		$	89			$	168

Cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 29, 2008, was $11.6 million compared to $0.6 million in the six months ended July 1, 2007. In addition to cash provided by earnings, cash flows from operating activities are affected by the timing of cash receipts and disbursements and the working capital requirements of the business. Cash provided by operations in the first six months of 2008 was impacted by the timing of a large vendor management payment at the end of the second quarter.

Cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 29, 2008, was $9.6 million compared to $1.8 million in the six months ended July 1, 2007. Our cash flows associated with investing activities in 2008 and 2007 included capital expenditures of $3.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and cash paid for acquisitions of $6.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. We expect to pay an additional $3.25 million in earnout payments during the next 12 months.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 29, 2008, related primarily to the purchase of computer hardware, the upgrade of our enterprise software system and leasehold improvements. Capital expenditures in 2008 are currently expected to be approximately $5.0 million to $6.0 million. This spending level is higher than 2007 due primarily to our planned Phoenix customer service center relocation and the upgrade of our enterprise software system.

Cash used in financing activities was $1.9 million in the six months ended June 29, 2008, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $1.3 million in the six months ended July 1, 2007. Cash flows associated with financing activities primarily represent borrowings and payments on our revolving credit facility.

Pursuant to the terms of the senior credit agreement, we maintain a zero balance in our primary domestic cash accounts. Any excess cash in our accounts is swept on a daily basis and applied to repay borrowings under the revolving credit facility, and any cash needs are satisfied through borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Cash recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 29, 2008, and December 30, 2007, in the amount of $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, primarily represents cash balances at our Toronto and United Kingdom subsidiaries.

We believe the most strategic uses of our cash are repayment of our long-term debt, making strategic acquisitions, capital expenditures and investments in revenue producing personnel. There are no transactions, arrangements and other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are reasonably likely to materially affect liquidity or the availability of our requirements for capital.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 29, 2008, we are not involved in any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Related Party Transactions

Elias J. Sabo, a member of our board of directors, also serves on the board of directors of The Compass Group, the parent company of Venturi Staffing Partners (“VSP”), a former Venturi subsidiary.  VSP provides commercial staffing services to us and to our clients in the normal course of its business.  During the three months ended June 29, 2008, we and our clients purchased approximately $3.0 million of staffing services from VSP for services provided to our vendor management clients.  At June 29, 2008, we had approximately $1.8 million in accounts payable to VSP.

Contingencies and Indemnifications

Details about our contingencies and indemnifications are available in Note 7 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There were no changes from the Critical Accounting Policies as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2007. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Details about recent accounting pronouncements are available in Note 11 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks, primarily related to interest rate, foreign currency and equity price fluctuations. Our use of derivative instruments has historically been insignificant and it is expected that our use of derivative instruments will continue to be minimal.

Interest Rate Risks

Outstanding debt under our credit facilities at June 29, 2008, was approximately $70.0 million. Interest on borrowings under the facilities is based on the prime rate or LIBOR plus a variable margin. Based on the outstanding balance at June 29, 2008, a change of 1% in the interest rate would cause a change in interest expense of approximately $0.7 million on an annual basis.

Foreign Currency Risks

Our primary exposures to foreign currency fluctuations are associated with transactions and related assets and liabilities related to our operations in Canada and the United Kingdom. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates impact translations of foreign denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and future earnings and cash flows from transactions denominated in different currencies. These operations are not material to our overall business.

Equity Market Risks

The trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. Such fluctuations could impact our decision or ability to utilize the equity markets as a potential source of our funding needs in the future.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has established and maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in those reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply judgment in evaluating our controls and procedures. As of June 29, 2008, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 29, 2008.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during quarter ended June 29, 2008, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time we are involved in certain disputes and litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the ordinary course of business. Further, we are periodically subject to government audits and inspections. In the opinion of our management, matters presently pending will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K in response to Item 1A. to Part I of Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2007.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The following table provides information relating to our purchase of shares of our common stock in the second quarter of 2008. These purchases reflect shares withheld upon vesting of restricted stock, to satisfy statutory minimum tax withholding obligations.
