The Company reports its Professional Employer Organization services ("PEO") revenues on a net basis because it is not the primary obligor for the services provided by the Company's PEO clients to their customers. The gross revenues and cost of revenues information below, although not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), is presented for comparison purposes and because management believes such information is more informative as to the level of the Company's business activity and more useful in managing its operations.

Outlook for Third Quarter 2008
The Company also disclosed today limited financial guidance with respect to its operating results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2008. The Company expects gross revenues for the third quarter of 2008 to range from $277 million to $282 million, as compared to $296.8 million for the third quarter of 2007, and anticipates diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2008 to range from $.34 to $.36 per share, as compared to $.54 per share for the same period a year ago. A reconciliation of estimated gross revenues to estimated GAAP net revenues for the third quarter of 2008 is not included because PEO revenues and cost of PEO revenues for the period are not reasonably estimable.
