GTSI Government Technology Services Inc.
 Corp. (Nasdaq:GTSI), formerly Government Technology Services, Inc., today announced unaudited financial results for the second quarter, which ended June June: see month.  30, 2001.

Revenues for the quarter were up 10.7 percent to $151.1 million, compared to $136.5 million in the second quarter of 2000. The Company reported a net loss of $1.3 million for the quarter or $0.16 per share on a basic and diluted di·lute

 basis. For the second quarter of 2000, the Company reported net income of $715,000, or $0.08 per share on a basic and diluted basis.

Gross margin percentage in the current quarter declined to 8.5 percent of sales from 9.2 percent in the same period last year. This decline in gross margin percentage primarily reflects tighter contract margins over those recorded in the second quarter of 2000.

 increased by $3.7 million, or 31.1 percent, from the $12.0 million in operating expenses recorded in the same quarter last year. This increase primarily reflects the Company's plan to hire additional sales personnel to achieve increased sales in the second half of 2001 and beyond.

The Company recorded a tax benefit for the second quarter of $839,000 based on the effective rate of approximately 38.5 percent. In the fourth quarter and full year of 2000, the Company's effective tax rate was favorably fa·vor·a·ble

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, revenues grew $42.8 million, or 16.6 percent, to $300.4 million, compared to $257.6 million in the same period in 2000. Gross margin percentage for the first six months of 2001 also grew slightly to 8.5 percent, versus 8.4 percent in the same period in 2000. The Company reported a net loss of $2.5 million, or a net loss of $0.31 per share on a basic and diluted basis, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, versus a net loss of $1.9 million, or net loss of $0.21 per share on a basic and diluted basis, for the same period in 2000.

 Young commented on the quarterly results:

"Our objective at the beginning of 2001 was to position the Company for growth in this and subsequent years. We knew that to accomplish this, we would have to invest in our sales force and in key internal systems. Our revenue growth for this quarter over last year clearly shows that we are making progress, but there is much more to be done. We remain committed to implementing our strategy.

"We continue to win important contracts, partner with vendors whose products are in great demand, and serve our customers exceptionally well. We are adding new Technology Teams that are successfully implementing networking and other high-end high-end

We recently were one of five awardees to win a $600 million Air Force PC BPA BPA British Paediatric Association.  and one of two to win a recompete for a significant Air Force BPA.

 to provide a wide range of computer products. While taking advantage of these opportunities will require investment on our part, this investment will create shareholder value by strengthening us for the long term.

"We see other important signs of progress. We have strengthened existing vendor partnerships and created new ones with companies like Silicon Graphics, Aaxion, Network One and Solid Data Systems. We have formed one Technology Team devoted to storage and another dedicated to scientific and engineering customers. Our Technology Teams continue to provide governments - federal, state and local - with the depth of knowledge and engineering support they need to select and implement complex computer systems.

"We also have concentrated on attracting and retaining a first-rate management team.
