probable losses based upon management&#146;s analysis of historical write-off levels, current
economic trends, routine assessments of its clients&#146; financial strength and any other known
factors impacting collectibility. Recoveries are recognized in the period in which they are

compensation coverages. To derive an estimate of the Company&#146;s ultimate claims liability,
established loss development factors are applied to current claims information. The Company
maintains reserves for its workers compensation using actuarial methods to estimate the
remaining undiscounted liability for the deductible portion of these claims, including those
incurred but not reported. Annually, an independent actuary calculates an estimated
ultimate liability and determines loss development factors for future periods. The
calculated ultimate liability is then reduced by cumulative claims payments to determine the
required reserve. Management evaluates the accrual on a quarterly basis and adjusts as
needed to reflect the required reserve calculation. Whereas management believes the
recorded liabilities are adequate, there are inherent limitations in the estimation process
whereby future actual losses may differ from projected loss rates, which could materially
affect the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. There can be no
assurance that changes to management&#146;s estimates will not occur due to limitations inherent
in the estimation process.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers, within each
taxing jurisdiction, whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management considers the scheduled reversal of
deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in
making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections
for future taxable income over the years in which the deferred tax assets are deductible,
management provided valuation allowances as needed for those deferred tax assets that were
not expected to be realized.

Standards No.&nbsp;123 (revised 2004) &#147;Share-Based Payment&#148; (SFAS 123 (R)). SFAS 123 (R)
replaces FASB Statement No.&nbsp;123 &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation&#148;, and supersedes
APB Opinion No 25 &#147;Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees&#148;. The statement establishes
standards for accounting for share-based payment transactions. Share-based payment
transactions are those in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or
services, or in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services, which
are based on the fair value of the entity&#146;s equity instruments or that may be settled by the
issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based
compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based
awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. SFAS 123(R) requires a
public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of
equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date (with limited
exceptions). That cost will be recognized in the entity&#146;s financial statements over the
period during which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award.

plan stock options. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of the
grant if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;123 (&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;123&#148;) &#147;Accounting for Stock &#150;

No.&nbsp;109&#148; (&#147;FIN 48&#148;), which clarifies the accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax
positions. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition associated
with tax positions. The provisions on FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December&nbsp;15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adoption on its
financial statements and the impact, if any, is not known at this time.

    <TD>On August&nbsp;2, 2005, the Company entered into a Modification Agreement with Manufacturers and
Traders Trust Company (&#147;M&#038;T&#148;) that extends for three years the $7,500,000 Committed
Revolving Credit Facility (&#147;Facility&#148;) originally signed on August&nbsp;13, 2003. The Company
elects the interest rate on borrowings under the Facility at the time of borrowing at either
the bank&#146;s prime rate or the thirty, sixty or ninety day LIBOR (as defined in the agreement)
plus 125 basis points. The Facility expires on August&nbsp;12, 2008 and is renewable with the
consent of both parties. The Company believes that the Facility will be sufficient to cover
foreseeable operational funding requirements until expiration of the Facility. The Facility
requires the Company to maintain certain financial covenants including a tangible net worth
ratio among other restrictions. The most restrictive covenant is the limitation of total
indebtedness which caps total funded indebtedness to 3.5 times the four most recent
quarter&#146;s EBITDA, as defined in the agreement. During the third quarter of 2006, the
Company had no borrowings against the Facility and was in compliance with all covenants.
It is anticipated that existing funds, cash flows from operations and available borrowings
will be sufficient to cover working capital requirements, organic growth and capital
expenditure requirements.</TD>

others, could affect future results and events, causing those results and events to differ
materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements: business conditions
and competitive factors in our customers&#146; industries, our ability to successfully expand into new
markets and offer new service lines, the availability of qualified personnel, the non-exclusive,
short-term nature of our customers&#146; commitments, economic and political conditions and unemployment
levels in the United States and other countries, increases in payroll related costs, including
state unemployment insurance and workers compensation insurance, obsolescence or impairment of our

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The preparation of the Company&#146;s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions affecting the amounts and disclosures reported within those financial statements.
These estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis by management and generally affect revenue
recognition, collectibility of accounts receivable, workers&#146; compensation costs, income taxes and
goodwill. Management&#146;s estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other
factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results under
circumstances and conditions different than those assumed could result in differences from the
estimated amounts in the financial statements.

related notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Report.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Three Months Quarter Ended October&nbsp;1, 2006 Compared with September&nbsp;25, 2005</I></B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Revenues decreased to $34.7&nbsp;million for the thirteen week quarter period ended October&nbsp;1, 2006 as
compared to $34.9&nbsp;million for the thirteen week quarter period ended September&nbsp;25, 2005. The
decrease was caused by lower billable hours notwithstanding an increase in average billing rate.
We are experiencing reduced demand for labor in certain industries including home building,
furniture manufacturing and consumer products. We also discontinued service to certain customers
that were not meeting our margin and volume targets and at the same time have increased our focus
on improved pricing both with existing and new customers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Gross profit was $6.2&nbsp;million for the thirteen week third quarter period of 2006 compared to $5.8
million for the thirteen week third quarter period in 2005, an increase of $0.4&nbsp;million or 7.2% for
the quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 17.8% for the quarter period as compared
to 16.5% prior year&#146;s quarter period, respectively. The improvement in quarterly gross profit is
attributable to increased hourly billing rates and lower state unemployment insurance rates. In
addition, gross profit also increased as a result of additional permanent placement fees. These
increases offset a decrease in total billable hours for the quarter.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $351,000 or 6.8% for the quarter period
ended October&nbsp;1, 2006, as compared to the quarter period ended September&nbsp;25, 2005. The quarter
period increase is primarily attributable to the cost of establishing and staffing new office
locations. Over the last twelve months, six new offices were opened. In addition, the hiring of
additional sales and business development staff at our headquarters office contributed to the
increase.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Other income, net increased due to cash equivalent earnings and other miscellaneous income.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Income tax expense of $270 thousand was recorded for the quarter ended October&nbsp;1, 2006, as compared
to $223 thousand for the quarter ended September&nbsp;25, 2005. The effective tax rates were 40.5% and
37.8%, respectively. The increase in the tax rate is due to deferred timing differences.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Revenues increased 6.5% to $104.9&nbsp;million for the forty week year to date period ended October&nbsp;1,
2006 as compared to $98.5&nbsp;million for the thirty nine week year to date period ended September&nbsp;25,
2005, respectively. The improvement in year to date revenue is primarily attributable to the
additional week of operations included in the 2006 results. Adjusting for the additional week,
billed hours for the thirty nine week year to date period ended October&nbsp;1, 2006 are below the
equivalent thirty nine week year to date period ended September&nbsp;25, 2005. The reduction in billed
hours has been offset by an increase in average billing rate. As noted above in the quarter
comparison above, we are experiencing reduced demand for labor in certain industries including home
building, furniture manufacturing and consumer products. We also discontinued service to certain
customers that were not meeting our margin and volume targets and at the same time have increased
our focus on improving pricing both with existing and new customers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Gross profit was $18.2&nbsp;million for the forty week year to date period of 2006 compared to $16.5
million for the thirty nine week year to date period in 2005, an increase of $1.7&nbsp;million or 10.6%
for the year to date period. The improvement in year to date gross profit is partly attributable
to the additional week of operations in the first quarter 2006 and an increase in gross profit per
labor hour. This increase reflects increased hourly billing rates and lower state unemployment
insurance rates. In addition, gross profit increased as a result of additional permanent placement
fees. These gains were partially offset by an increase to our workers&#146; compensation reserve in the
second quarter of 2006. This increase is primarily due to an increase in the severity, frequency
and probable ultimate value of claims incurred in 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue
was 17.4% for the year to date period as compared to 16.7% for the prior year&#146;s year to date
period.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.0&nbsp;million or 13.8% for the year to
date period ended October&nbsp;1, 2006, as compared to the same period ended September&nbsp;25, 2005. The
year to date increase is primarily attributable to the cost of establishing and staffing new office
locations and the additional week of operations in the first quarter 2006. Over the
last twelve months six new offices were opened. In addition, the hiring of additional sales and
business development staff at our headquarters office contributed to the increase as well as the
write-off of certain uncollectible accounts.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Other income, net increased due to cash equivalent earnings and other miscellaneous income.

CONDITION<U> </U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On August&nbsp;2, 2005, the Company entered into a Modification Agreement with Manufacturers and Traders
Trust Company (&#147;M&#038;T&#148;) that extends for three years the $7,500,000 Committed Revolving Credit
Facility (&#147;Facility&#148;) originally signed on August&nbsp;13, 2003. The Company elects the interest rate
on borrowings under the Facility at the time of borrowing at either the bank&#146;s prime rate or the
thirty, sixty or ninety day LIBOR plus 125 basis points, a reduction of 75 basis points from the
expiring agreement. The Facility expires on August&nbsp;12, 2008 and is renewable with the consent of
both parties. The Company believes that the Facility will be sufficient to cover foreseeable
operational funding requirements until expiration of the Facility. The Facility requires the
Company to maintain certain financial covenants including a tangible net worth ratio among other
restrictions. The most restrictive covenant is the limitation of total indebtedness which caps
total funded indebtedness to 3.5 times the four most recent quarter&#146;s EBITDA, as defined in the
agreement. The Company had no borrowings during the period ended October&nbsp;1, 2006. It is
anticipated that existing funds, cash flows from operations and available borrowings will be
sufficient to cover working capital requirements, organic growth and capital expenditure
requirements.
