 LaVelle, commented, "We see a number of positive signs in the results of the most recent quarter. Direct revenues have increased for the second consecutive quarter, driven in large part by gains in our infrastructure business, which increased to $14.6 million in the quarter, up 12.4% from the level reported last quarter. We are pleased that in this period of decreased demand throughout the industry, our direct revenues from staffing and solutions have not only held, but have grown.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, revenues of $332.8 million produced a loss of $20.9 million, or $(.87) per share, including the charge to write off goodwill upon the adoption of SFAS SFAS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards

The Company provided guidance for its fourth quarter ended December December: see month.  31, 2002, anticipating that revenues will approach $100 million and result in a loss of $.02 per share.
