Business Editors

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 1, 2003

Certified Services, Inc. (OTCBB:CSRV) a leading provider of professional employer organization (PEO) services, today announced results for the first quarter of 2003. Revenues were $12,712,527 compared to $5,205,570 in the prior year's quarter. Net income was $717,443, or $0.08 per share on 8,448,922 weighted average shares outstanding, compared to $774,303 or $0.23 per share on 3,421,145 weighted average shares outstanding during first quarter 2002.

"We view our first quarter results as a positive indicator that our overall business strategy of integrating several PEO businesses while developing standardization is on target. Our improvements in pricing and cost management were evident considering first quarter results are generally weaker due to many payroll taxes being at their peaks and sharply declining throughout the year," said CSRV's Dan L. Pixler, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"Our focus during the second quarter of 2003 is to finalize and consummate the acquisition of StaffAmerica and its related companies from BACE International. Closing the StaffAmerica acquisition will substantially advance CSRV's five-year business plan of providing human resource solutions to an estimated 100,000 worksite employees nationwide," stated Mr. Pixler. "With the addition, integration and standardization of StaffAmerica we will be providing PEO services to more than 1,800 clients with approximately 60,500 worksite employees in 32 states."
