Highlight of Business Operations:

Revenue during the third quarter ended September 30, 2012 increased by $6.9 million or 2.5% as compared to the third quarter of 2011, primarily due to growth in PSS. Gross profit decreased by $3.0 million and gross margin decreased to 19.6% from 21.2%, primarily reflecting higher growth in the lower margin PSS staffing business and a decrease in higher margin infrastructure engineering projects in GETS. Operating profit was $9.0 million during the third quarter of 2012 as compared to $4.4 million during the third quarter of 2011. The third quarter of 2011 operating profit included a charge of $0.6 million associated with the severance of certain senior-level executives. Operating profit improved primarily due to the ongoing cost savings from the restructuring plan implemented in the fourth quarter of 2011 and savings from additional cost containment efforts.
