Highlight of Business Operations:

Cost of Sales

-

Cost of sales for the nine months ended February 28, 2009, decreased $4,544,000

or 14.2% to $27,453,000 from $31,997,000 in the prior year period. The decrease

in cost of sales resulted primarily from the decrease in the number of

consultants on billing with clients. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue

increased from 81.7% in the nine months ended February 29, 2008 to 82.1% in the

nine months ended February 28, 2009. The increase in cost of sales as a

percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to discount programs instituted

or expanded by customers and other customer required rate reductions. These

discount programs and other billing rate reduction initiatives decrease revenue

without allowing the Company to reduce costs sufficiently to completely offset

the decrease in revenue. These required rate reductions have accelerated as a

result of the current economic conditions.





Income from Operations

-

Income from operations decreased $743,000 or 46.6% from $1,595,000 in the nine

months ended February 29, 2008 to $852,000 in the nine months ended February 28,

2009. The combination of reduced revenue and reduced gross margins had a

significant negative impact on income from operations.



At February 28, 2009, the Company had working capital of $12,201,000 including

cash and cash equivalents of $4,561,000 as compared to working capital of

$12,693,000 including cash and cash equivalents of $1,588,000 at May 31, 2008.

The Company's working capital also included $3,748,000 and $6,460,000 of

marketable securities with maturities of less than one year at February 28, 2009

and May 31, 2008, respectively.



For the nine months ended February 28, 2009, net cash provided by operating

activities was $1,344,000 compared to cash used of $763,000 for the nine months

ended February 29, 2008, or an increase of $2,107,000. The cash provided by

operating activities primarily resulted from net income and a decrease in

accounts receivable of $1,525,000 offset by a decrease in accounts payable and

accrued expenses of $667,000. The cash used by operating activities in the nine

months ended February 29, 2008, resulted primarily from an increase in accounts

receivable.



Net cash used in financing activities resulted from the purchases of treasury

stock amounting to $1,220,000, cash dividends paid of $768,000 and distributions

to the minority interest of $77,000. The purchases of treasury stock consisted

of $1,050,000 in a private transaction and $170,000 in open market transactions.

The Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan in December 2007

authorizing the repurchase of shares of Common Stock and approximately 239,000

shares remain available for purchase under this previously announced plan. The

Company has not made any purchases under this plan since September 2008. The

Company does not intend to make further purchases under this plan unless there

is a change in the market for the Company's common stock. The Board of Directors

determined to suspend the payment of further dividends effective after the

dividend paid on February 9, 2009 for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The

Board of Directors may reevaluate the Company's dividend policy once the

economic conditions stabilize.
