15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 with the Securities and Exchange Commission

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>The Staffing Industry</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The staffing services business is highly competitive with few barriers to entry. There are numerous
local, regional and national firms principally engaged in offering such services. The primary
competitive factors in the staffing services field are quality of service, reliability of personnel
and price. Historically, the temporary staffing industry has experienced its greatest growth
during economic recoveries.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The staffing services industry was once used predominately as a short-term solution for greater
workforce needs during peak production periods and to replace workers who were abruptly terminated
or who were absent due to illness or vacation. For several decades, the use of temporary services
has evolved into a permanent and significant component of staffing plans of many employers.
Corporate restructuring, government regulations, advances in technology and the desire by many
business entities to shift employee costs from a fixed to a variable expense have resulted in the
use of a wide range of staffing alternatives by businesses. Flexible staffing alternatives allow
businesses to respond quickly and aggressively to changing market conditions which many economists
and analysts believe is critical to future economical growth.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Additionally, it is widely accepted by economists that temporary staffing also encourages greater
work force participation, which is critical as the United States faces a labor shortage. Temporary
staffing provides employment flexibility and options to people who might otherwise choose not to
work. Flexible work arrangements offer choices that fit the diverse needs and preferences of
potential employees thereby contributing to increased participation and enhanced productivity. The
clerical, light industrial, information technology and financial sectors represent the four largest
sectors of the temporary staffing industry.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company continually reassesses its current operations based on its strategic initiatives and
may consolidate or close these offices if they do not meet management&#146;s expectations.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s quarterly operating results are affected by the number of billing days in the quarter
and the seasonality of its clients&#146; businesses. Historically, revenue growth has accelerated in
each of the fiscal quarters as manufacturers, retailers and service businesses increase their level
of business activity. In the first fiscal quarter, gross margins have historically been lower with
the affect of state unemployment insurance taxes resetting with the start of the new calendar year.
The fourth fiscal quarter has historically been strong as a result of manufacturing and retail
emphasis on holiday sales.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Cyclical Nature of the Business</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The staffing industry has historically been considered to be cyclical, often acting as an indicator
of both economic downswings and upswings. Staffing customers tend to use temporary staffing to
supplement their existing workforces and generally hire permanent workers when long-term demand is
expected to increase. As a consequence of this, our revenues tend to increase quickly when the
economy begins to grow. Conversely, revenues also tend to decrease quickly when the economy begins
to weaken as the customers reduce temporary workers before terminating their own employees.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Clients</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company serves the needs of small, mid-size and Fortune 500 businesses in a variety of
industries. During fiscal years 2006 and 2005, the Company serviced over 2000 clients nationwide.
The Company&#146;s ten highest volume clients in fiscal years 2006 and 2005 accounted for 30.0% and
27.3%, respectively, of the Company&#146;s total revenues. One client, ModusLink Corporation,
accounted for 12.1 % of the Company&#146;s total revenues for fiscal year 2006. No single client
accounted for more than 9.3% of the Company&#146;s total revenues for fiscal year 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Competition</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The temporary services industry is highly competitive with limited barriers to entry. The Company
believes that its largest competitors in the clerical and light industrial sectors include Adecco
S.A., Kelly Services, Inc., Manpower Inc., Spherion Corporation, Barrett Business Services, Inc.,
SelectRemedy, Inc. and Westaff Inc.. These and other large competitors have nationwide operations
with greater resources than the Company, which among other things could enable them to attempt to
maintain or increase their market share by reducing prices. In addition, there are a number of
other mid-sized firms that are regional or emphasize specialized niches and compete with the
Company in certain markets where they have a stronger presence. Numerous small or single-office
firms compete effectively with the Company&#146;s offices in their limited areas. In the information
technology and financial sectors, the Company believes that its competitors include MPS Group,
Inc., Robert Half International, Inc., Adecco S.A., Alternative Resources Corporation, On
Assignment, Inc., KForce, Comsys, and CDI Corporation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Although the Company believes that it competes favorably with respect to the forgoing factors, the
Company&#146;s management believes that the most important competitive factors in obtaining and
retaining its targeted clients is understanding the customer specific job requirements, the ability
to provide qualified temporary personnel in a timely manner and the quality of services. The
primary competitive factors in obtaining qualified candidates for temporary employment assignments
are wages, benefits and responsiveness to work schedules.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company expects ongoing vigorous competition and pricing pressure from national, regional and
local
providers, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain or increase its
market share or profitability.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As previously reported, on January&nbsp;18, 2007, the Company&#146;s Board of Directors received a proposal
from certain existing investors, including Charles H. Heist, III, the Company&#146;s Chairman of the
Board, Kurt R. Moore, the Company&#146;s President and Chief Executive Officer, The Burton Partnership
(QP), Limited Partnership and The Burton Partnership, Limited Partnership, to acquire all of the
Company&#146;s publicly held common stock for $7.50 per share in cash.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s Board of Directors formed a Special Committee of four independent directors to review
and evaluate the foregoing proposal and any strategic alternatives to the proposal that may be
available to the Company. Subsequent to the Company&#146;s public announcement of receipt of the
foregoing buyout proposal, the Special Committee received an indication of interest from a
potential third-party acquirer. The Special Committee has not made a determination whether either
proposed transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders or whether the
Company should pursue any other available strategic alternatives. The Special Committee continues
to evaluate the foregoing proposals, as well as other strategic alternatives for the Company.
Accordingly, no assurances can be given as to whether any particular strategic alternative will be
pursued or implemented. The Special Committee currently does not intend to make any further public
announcements regarding its review of possible strategic alternatives until its evaluation process
has been completed. See also &#147;Item&nbsp;3. Legal Proceedings.&#148;

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In evaluating the Company&#146;s business, one should carefully consider the following risk factors in
addition to information contained elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Any significant economic downturn could result in our clients using fewer temporary employees,
which could materially adversely affect the Company.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Demand for temporary services is significantly affected by the general level of economic activity.
As economic activity slows, businesses may reduce their use of temporary employees before
undertaking layoffs of their full-time employees, resulting in decreased demand for the Company&#146;s
temporary personnel. Further, in an economic downturn, the Company may face pricing pressure from
its clients and increased competition from other staffing companies, which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company&#146;s business.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>The Company operates in highly competitive markets with low barriers to entry, potentially limiting
its ability to maintain or increase its market share or profit margins.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The temporary services industry is highly competitive with limited barriers to entry and in recent
years has been undergoing significant consolidation. The Company competes in national, regional and
local markets with full service agencies and with specialized temporary service agencies. Many
competitors are smaller than the Company, but have an advantage over the Company in discrete
geographic markets because of their stronger local presence. Other competitors are more well-known
and have greater marketing and financial resources than the
Company, which among other things could enable them to maintain or increase their market share by
reducing prices. The Company expects the level of competition to remain high in the future and
competitive pricing pressures may have an adverse effect on the Company&#146;s operating margins.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>The Company&#146;s success depends upon its ability to attract and retain qualified temporary personnel.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company depends upon its ability to attract qualified temporary personnel who possess the
skills and experience necessary to meet the staffing requirements of its clients. It must
continually evaluate and upgrade its base of available qualified personnel to keep pace with
changing client needs and emerging technologies. Competition for individuals with proven skills is
intense and demand for these individuals is expected to remain very strong for the foreseeable
future. There can be no assurance that qualified personnel will continue to be available to the
Company in sufficient numbers and on terms of employment acceptable to management. The success will
depend on the Company&#146;s ability to recruit qualified temporary personnel and retain them.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>The Company&#146;s business may suffer if it loses its key personnel.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s operations are dependent on the continued efforts of its executive officers and
senior management. Additionally, it is dependent on the performance and productivity of its local
managers and field personnel. The ability to attract and retain business is significantly affected
by local relationships and the quality of service rendered. The loss of those key executive
officers and senior management who have acquired experience in operating a staffing service company
may cause a significant disruption to the business. Moreover, the loss of key local managers or
field personnel may jeopardize existing customer relationships with businesses that continue to use
the Company&#146;s staffing services based upon past direct relationships with these local managers and
field personnel. Either of these types of losses could adversely affect the Company&#146;s operations,
including its ability to establish and maintain customer relationships.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>The Company may be exposed to employment-related claims and costs that could materially adversely
affect its business.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company is in the business of employing people and placing them in the workplace of other
businesses. Attendant risks of these activities include possible claims by clients of employee
misconduct or negligence, claims by employees of discrimination or harassment (including claims
relating to actions of its clients), claims related to the inadvertent employment of illegal aliens
or unlicensed personnel, payment of workers&#146; compensation claims and other similar claims. The
Company has policies and guidelines in place to help reduce its exposure to these risks and has
purchased insurance policies against certain risks in amounts that it believes to be adequate.
However, there can be no assurances that it will not experience these problems in the future or
that it may not incur fines or other losses or negative publicity with respect to these problems
that could have a material adverse effect on its business.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>The cost of unemployment insurance premiums and workers&#146; compensation costs for temporary
employees may rise and reduce the Company&#146;s profit margins.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Businesses use temporary staffing in part to shift certain employment costs and risks to personnel
services companies. For example, the Company is responsible for, and pays unemployment insurance
premiums and workers&#146; compensation for, its temporary employees. These costs have generally risen
as a result of increased claims, general economic conditions and governmental regulation. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to increase the fees charged to its clients in the
future to keep pace with increased costs. Price competition in the personnel services industry is
intense. If the Company is unable to maintain its margins, it expects that it may choose to stop
servicing certain clients. Further, there can be no assurance that certain clients will continue to
use the Company at increased cost. There can be no assurance that it will maintain its margins, and
if it does not, its results of operations, financial condition and liquidity could be adversely
affected.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company retains a portion of the risk under its workers&#146; compensation program. The estimated
remaining deductible liability for all existing and incurred but not reported claims is accrued
based upon actuarial methods
using current claims information, as well as prior experience, and may be subsequently revised
based on new developments related to such claims. Changes in the estimates underlying the claims

harm its business operations. The Company takes an active role (through its affiliations with, and
participation in, various staffing industry organizations) in opposing proposed legislation adverse
to its business and in informing policy makers as to the social and economic benefits of its
business. However, there can be no assurance or guarantees that any of these bills (or future
bills) will not be enacted, in which case, demand for the Company&#146;s services or its financial
condition, or both, may suffer.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In the ordinary conduct of business, the Company is subject to various lawsuits, investigations and
claims, covering a wide range of matters, including, but not limited to, employment matters. It is
possible that the Company may be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs in excess
of its insurance coverage, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or
results of operations. The Company could also incur substantial legal costs, and management&#146;s
attention and resources could be diverted from the business.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>The Company&#146;s business may be at risk if there is failure of implementing a new information system.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In 2006, the Company implemented new front-office and back-office systems to be utilized in
connection with the commercial and professional staffing operations. This implementation of new
management information systems required a significant investment in software, hardware, outside
consultant assistance and internal personnel resources. Although it is believed that this
technology initiative will increase productivity, improve operating efficiencies and lower
long-term operating costs, there is no assurance that such an initiative will yield its intended
results.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company is dependent on the proper functioning of information systems in operating its
business, particularly with respect to monitoring client assignments and billing. If our critical
information systems fail or are otherwise unavailable, we would have to accomplish these functions
manually, which would temporarily impact our client records and billing capabilities, The
Company&#146;s information systems are protected through physical and software safeguards including the
use of a third party processing center. However, the Company&#146;s corporate headquarters and a number
of our customers are located in Florida, which is a hurricane-sensitive area. During fiscal 2005,
four hurricanes made land-fall in Florida, with Hurricane Wilma moving directly through South
Florida and causing significant infrastructure damage and disruption to the area. Our revenues
from offices in South Florida were adversely affected by these hurricanes during fiscal 2005.
Similar disruptions to our offices and the business of our customers from natural disasters,
terrorist acts, power loss, telecommunications failures, physical or software break-ins, computer
viruses and similar events any adversely impact our revenues.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The addition of offices and new geographic areas typically result in an increase in our operating
expenses, primarily due to increased employee headcount. Because there is typically a delay
between a new office opening and reaching full productivity, new office openings may adversely
affect our results of operations for a period of time. In addition, we may not accurately forecast
the demand for our services in new markets that we enter. If we do not adequately manage for
foregoing factors, our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Significant increases in payroll-related costs could adversely affect the Company&#146;s business.</I></B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We are required to pay a number of federal, state and local payroll and related costs, including
unemployment taxes, workers compensation and insurance, FICA, and Medicare, among others, for our
employees. Significant increases in the effective rates of any payroll-related costs likely would
have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations. Costs could also increase as a
result of health care reforms or the possible imposition of additional requirements and
restrictions related to the placement of personnel. Recent federal and state legislative proposals
have included provisions extending health insurance benefits to personnel who currently do not
receive such benefits. We may not be able to increase the fees charged to our clients in a timely
manner and in a sufficient amount to cover increased costs, if any such proposals are adopted.

suitable and adequate for servicing its customers and evaluating proximity to available temporary
personnel. The inability to renew all or a majority of the leases on similar or favorable terms to

In the opinion of management, the resolution of all pending matters will not have a material

compensation, personal injury, bodily injury, property damage, professional malpractice, errors and
omissions, employment practices and fidelity losses. Management does not expect that the outcome of
any pending lawsuits relating to such matters, individually or collectively, will have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Circuit Court of the 13th Judicial Circuit in and for Hillsborough County, Florida. The Company has
not been advised that any defendant has been served with the Complaint. The litigation relates to
the Company&#146;s January&nbsp;23, 2007 announcement that: (i)&nbsp;certain existing investors, including Charles

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On March&nbsp;13, 2000, C. H. Heist Corp. sold substantially all of the assets of its United States
industrial maintenance business and the stock of C. H. Heist Corp.&#146;s wholly owned Canadian
subsidiary, C. H. Heist, Ltd., to Onyx Industrial Services, Inc. Taken together, these operations
comprised substantially all of the assets of C. H. Heist Corp.&#146;s industrial maintenance operations.
Included in the sale was C. H. Heist Corp.&#146;s administrative and warehousing facility in Buffalo,
New York. Also on March&nbsp;13, 2000, C. H. Heist Corp. merged into a newly formed company, Ablest
Inc., and reincorporated in the State of Delaware.

Milestone Technologies, Inc. (an Arizona corporation) and PLP Corp. (an Alabama corporation) were

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The following discussions and analysis of operations and financial condition pertain to the
Company&#146;s staffing services business, which constitutes its continuing operations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Overview</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We derive our revenues by providing clerical, industrial, technical, and finance and accounting
staffing services in the United States. We currently provide our staffing services principally
through 61 Company-owned service locations in the Eastern United States and selected Southwestern
markets. We fill positions in data entry, office administration, telemarketing, light industrial
assembly, order picking and shipping, network administration, database administration, program
analyst (both mainframe and client server), web development, project management, technical writing,
accounting, financial analysis, and internal auditing, among others. We do not service any specific
industry or field; instead, our services are provided to a broad-based customer list.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the 53&nbsp;week period ended December&nbsp;31, 2006, the Company placed approximately 35,000 workers
and provided approximately 11&nbsp;million hours of staffing services to over 2000 clients.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Substantially all of our revenues are driven by hours billed and billing rates. Our billing rates
are generally negotiated and invoiced on a per-hour basis. Accordingly, as we place temporary
employees, we record revenue based on their hours worked. Our gross margins are determined by
deducting temporary employee pay, related taxes, benefits and other direct placement costs such as
drug screens, background and reference checks. Piecework contracts are billed to the customer on a
cost per unit basis versus an hourly basis. Revenue from piecework contracts is recognized at the
time service is performed. Permanent placement services are fee-based services to recruit and fill
regular staff positions for customers. Revenue from permanent placement services is recognized
when a candidate begins full-time employment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Customer demand for our employment services depends significantly on the overall strength of the
labor market. Improving economic growth typically results in increased demand for labor, resulting
in greater demand for our services. Correspondingly, during periods of weak economic growth or
economic contraction, the demand for our services typically declines<B>.</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Due to the dependence of the staffing industry growth on economic factors, the inherent
difficulty in forecasting the direction and strength of the economy and the short-term nature of
staffing assignments, it is difficult to forecast future demand for our services with any
certainty. As a result, we monitor a number of economic indicators, as well as recent business
trends, in an effort to predict demand for temporary staffing services. Based upon these
anticipated trends, we determine whether changes in personnel or other adjustments to our business
are appropriate.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Historically, our business has expanded through both internal growth of existing branch
offices and opening new branch offices. During 2006 and 2005, we opened new branch office locations
and focused on increasing revenues of existing branch offices. During 2007, we intend to open
strategically located branches that we believe will enhance our current customer relationships as
well as facilitate establishing new ones. We believe that the amount of capital required to open
new branches is less than the amount of capital required to consummate acquisitions. We cannot
assure you that we will successfully open new branches or that, if opened, such branches will
result in any material revenues or contribute positively to our earnings.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We continue to try to improve our gross margins by working closely with our customers to minimize
costs associated with workers&#146; compensation claims. We have implemented safety training and
education programs at all branch locations and key customer locations. We also review the risk
profiles of certain clients to assess the potential workers&#146; compensation claims liabilities as
compared to their potential profitability level. In addition, we expanded our return-to-work
program closely monitoring each employee&#146;s injury status to enable the employees to return to work
as soon as medically advisable. We attempt to manage unemployment insurance costs through
aggressive claim adjudication and actively offering displaced employee&#146;s alternative

assignments. We cannot assure you that our continued efforts to manage workers&#146; compensation
claims and unemployment insurance costs or our new compensation plan will result in increased
operating margins.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In 2005, we entered into a Services Agreement and License &#038; Support Agreement with VCG, Inc.
for the installation, maintenance and support of a new front-office system, StaffSuite&#174;, to be
utilized in connection with our commercial and professional staffing operations. In addition, we
entered into a Professional Services Agreement (including Proposal for Implementation) with IDEAL
Consulting, Inc. for the installation of Great Plains&#174; software for use in connection with our
back-office systems, including our corporate accounting, finance, human resources and customer
service processes. These two systems replaced our existing management information systems to
support future growth of the Company. This implementation of a new management information system
has required a significant investment in software, hardware, outside consultant assistance and
internal personnel resources. Although we believe this technology initiative will increase
productivity, improve operating efficiencies and lower long-term operating costs, there is no
assurance that such an initiative will yield its intended results.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The following table sets forth for the last five fiscal years, the total number of offices and
their associated revenues. Average revenues per office are computed by dividing the relevant
revenues by the number of offices. Our long-term revenue growth depends in part upon our ability
to continue to attract new clients, retain existing clients, open new offices, as well as our
ability to enhance the sales of existing offices beyond historical levels.

fiscal 2005. Net service revenue increased $3.3&nbsp;million, or 2.4%, the increase is primarily due to
the additional week of operations.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Gross profit was $24.4&nbsp;million for fiscal 2006 and $23.0&nbsp;million for fiscal 2005. Gross profit
increased $1.5&nbsp;million, or 6.3% over prior year. Gross profit for fiscal year 2006 as a percent of
revenue was 17.4% as compared to 16.7% for fiscal year 2005. This improvement is due to
management&#146;s decision to eliminate higher risk and lower margin business and the increase in
clerical, direct hire and temporary-to-permanent business.

compared to 14.5% in fiscal year 2005 as a percentage of revenue. Approximately $1.4&nbsp;million of
this increase was attributable to our new branch openings. The remaining variance in these expenses
is due to increased workers compensation costs and hiring additional workforce.

customer base through the opening of new offices as well as the focus of the existing branches to
increase account penetration and improve pricing. The opening of 10 new branches added $9.2
million in revenues.

of revenue was 16.7% as compared to 15.8% for fiscal year 2004. This improvement is due to
increased revenue levels, management&#146;s decision to eliminate higher risk and lower margin business
and the increase in direct hire and temporary-to-permanent business.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.9&nbsp;million or 16.8%, to $19.9&nbsp;million
for fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004. These expenses were 14.5% in fiscal year 2005 as
compared to 14.7% in fiscal year 2004 as a percent of revenue. During the 2005 fiscal year, the
Company and its former Chief Financial Officer entered into a Settlement Agreement and Complete and
Permanent Release, dated September&nbsp;22, 2005, pursuant to which, the Company agreed to pay severance
of $290,000. In addition, $817,000 of this increase was attributable to our new branch openings.
The remaining variance in these expenses is due to increased compensation costs and hiring
additional workforce for the higher sales volume. The Company continues to closely manage expense
levels to leverage its cost structure as business volume increases.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Other income (expense), net, increased to $9,000 in expense for fiscal 2005 from $26,000 in income
for fiscal 2004. This increase is materially due to $7,000 interest expense paid as the Company
had borrowings against its revolving credit facility in only the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.
Fiscal year 2004 included a $15,000 state incentive payment to the Company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our fiscal 2006 tax expense was $1,148,000 and the effective tax rate for 2006 was 46.2%. The
Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;) has completed and closed its examinations of the Company&#146;s tax
returns for all years through 2003. In connection with these examinations, in January&nbsp;2006, the
IRS issued the Company an assessment related to the previously filed 2001 tax return, which
disallowed $3,114,000 of net operating loss (&#147;NOL&#148;) carryfowards. These NOLs represented
$1,182,000 of the Company&#146;s deferred tax assets, and were derived from the 2000 sale of the
industrial maintenance business. Therefore, the effective tax rate for fiscal 2005 was 82.6%,
which resulted in tax expense of $2,542,000. This is compared to our fiscal 2004 tax expense of
$515,000. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2004 was 36.8%. The Company has notified the IRS of
their acceptance of the IRS findings and we have received the final IRS ruling letter. As a result
of this ruling, the Company has reduced the deferred tax asset to reflect this settlement and has
exhausted the deferred tax asset related to the sale. However, this adjustment did not impact
revenues or operating expenses for 2005 and resulted in no cash impact for the 2005 fiscal year.
Accordingly, for future periods, the Company anticipates that cash outlays will occur for income
tax purposes.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U><B>Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:</B></U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The discussion and analyses of the Company&#146;s financial condition and results of operations were
based on the Company&#146;s financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company has identified the
policies below as critical to the Company&#146;s business operations and the understanding of its
results of operations. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting
policies, see the notes to the Financial Statements in Item&nbsp;8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Note that the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts
of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company&#146;s management
reviews and evaluates these estimates and assumptions, including those that relate to revenue
recognition, accounts receivable, workers&#146; compensation costs, goodwill, other long-lived assets,
income taxes including the deferred tax assets, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Management believes the following critical accounting policies are those most significantly
affected by the judgment, estimates and/or assumptions used in the preparation of the Company&#146;s
financial statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">(a)&nbsp;Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company must make estimates of the collectibility of accounts receivable. Management analyzes
historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends
and changes in the customers&#146; payment tendencies when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for
doubtful accounts.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">(b)&nbsp;Self-Insurance Reserves
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company is self-insured for the deductible amount of its general liability and workers&#146;
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. An annual, independent actuarial study 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. While
management believes that the recorded amounts are adequate, there can be no assurance that changes
to management&#146;s estimates will not occur due to limitations inherent in the estimation process.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">(c)&nbsp;Goodwill
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In July&nbsp;2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standards No.
142 (SFAS No.&nbsp;142), &#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets&#148;. Under SFAS No.&nbsp;142, goodwill and
indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed at least annually for
impairment. At December&nbsp;31, 2006 and December&nbsp;25, 2005, the Company did not have indefinite lived
intangible assets other than goodwill and did not have any intangible assets with definite lives.
Factors included in the impairment analysis include expected revenue and EBITDA growth rates,
working capital needs, discount rates and earnings multiples. These assumptions are based on
management&#146;s best estimate of the current and expected economic environment. As prescribed, the
Company screened for impairment of goodwill during the fourth fiscal quarters of 2006 and 2005 and
found no instances of impairment of its recorded goodwill.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">(d)&nbsp;Deferred Tax Assets
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Income taxes are accounted for by the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to operating loss and credit carryforwards and differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
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>

<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, the Company has determined
that the tax asset will be realizable.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For more information, see 2006 Results of Operations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">(e)&nbsp;Revenue Recognition
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company generates revenue from the sale of temporary staffing and direct-hire services by its
operations. Temporary staffing revenues and the related labor costs and payroll taxes are recorded
in the period in which the services are performed. Direct hire revenues are recognized when the
direct hire candidate begins full-time employment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U>Liquidity and Capital Resources:</U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Historically, we have financed our operations through existing cash balances, operating cash flows
and a revolving line of credit. The principal uses of cash are capital expenditures and working
capital needs. The nature of the staffing business requires payment of wages to temporary employees
and consultants on a weekly basis, while payments from customers are generally received 30-60&nbsp;days
after billing.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The quick ratio was 3.3 to 1 and 3.1 to 1 at December&nbsp;31, 2006 and December&nbsp;25, 2005, respectively,
and the current ratio was 3.6 to 1 and 3.4 to1 for the same respective periods. The primary source
of funding is generated from results of operations. Net working capital increased by $282 thousand
during fiscal 2006 as a result of operations. Contributing to this was a decrease in accounts
receivable of approximately $1.2&nbsp;million offset by an increase in cash of approximately $1.1
million during this period due to collection efforts. This was offset by an increase in net
accrued expenses of $432,000.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Cash Flows</I>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As of December&nbsp;31, 2006, the Company had total cash resources available of $3.0&nbsp;million all held in
the United States. 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, 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 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. Throughout 2006 and 2005, the Company 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.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Operating cash flows for 2006 of approximately $3.1&nbsp;million are primarily comprised of earnings,
$615 thousand of non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization, and a non-cash deferred
income tax benefit of 195 thousand offset by working capital usage of $916 thousand. Days sales
outstanding (&#147;DSO&#148;) for 2006 increased to 47&nbsp;days from 50&nbsp;days in the prior year. Each one-day
increase in DSO approximates a source of $379,000 of working capital.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Operating cash flows for 2005 of $2.1&nbsp;million are primarily comprised of earnings, $336,000 of
non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization, stock compensation of $461,000 and a non-cash
deferred income tax benefit of $2.4&nbsp;million offset by working capital usage of $1.8&nbsp;million. Days
sales outstanding (&#147;DSO&#148;) for 2005 increased to 50&nbsp;days from 53&nbsp;days in the prior year. Each
one-day increase in DSO approximates a source of $377,000 of working capital.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Operating cash flows for 2004 of $113,000 are primarily comprised of earnings, $461,000 of non-cash
expenses for depreciation and amortization, stock compensation of $273,000 and a non-cash deferred
income tax benefit of $428,000 offset by the working capital usage of $1.9&nbsp;millions. Working
capital for 2004 was used primarily to fund accounts receivable as DSO decreased to 53&nbsp;days from 48
days in the prior year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">Investing cash flows
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Investing cash flows for 2006 of approximately $2.0&nbsp;million are related to continuing capital
expenditures associated with the implementations of both StaffSuite&#174; and Great Plains&#174; as described
in the 2005 section immediately below and the move of the corporate headquarters office and its
build-out.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Investing cash flows for 2005 of approximately $1.5&nbsp;million are related to capital
expenditures. The reason for the increase is due to the Company entering into a Services Agreement
and License &#038; Support Agreement with VCG, Inc. for the installation, maintenance and support of a
new front-office system, StaffSuite&#174;, which is utilized in connection with the Company&#146;s commercial
and professional staffing operations. In addition, the Company entered into a Professional
Services Agreement (including Proposal for Implementation) with IDEAL Consulting, Inc. for the
installation of Great Plains&#174; software for use in connection with the Company&#146;s back-office
systems, including its corporate accounting, finance, human resources and customer service
processes. These two systems replaced its existing management information systems to support
future growth of the Company. This implementation of a new management information system has
required a significant investment in software, hardware, outside consultant assistance and internal
personnel resources.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Investing cash flows for 2004 of $370,000 are related to capital expenditures.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company expects the total 2007 capital expenditures to be between $300,000 and $500,000 and to
be funded through operating cash flows or through borrowings under the existing revolving line of
credit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">Financing cash flows
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The net financing cash outflows for 2006, 2005 and 2004 are zero. In 2005, the Company borrowed
against the existing line of credit and repaid the line back within the same fiscal year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company believes that a combination of our existing cash balances, other liquid assets,
operating cash flows, and existing revolving line of credit, taken together, provide adequate
resources to fund ongoing operating requirements, however, our operating cash flow could be
impacted by factors outside of our control.

stockholders&#146; equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Ablest Inc. at December&nbsp;31, 2006 and December&nbsp;25, 2005, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2006 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of
these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Company&#146;s revenues are derived from providing staffing services to its customers.
Substantially all revenue is billed on a direct cost plus markup basis. Revenue is
recognized at the time the service is performed. In addition, the Company bills revenues
under piecework contracts and permanent placement services. Piecework contracts are billed
to the customer on a cost per unit basis versus an hourly basis. Revenue from piecework
contracts is recognized at the time service is performed. Permanent placement services are
fee-based services to recruit and fill regular staff positions for customers. Revenue from
permanent placement services is recognized when a candidate begins full-time employment

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets on
the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method
over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Estimated useful
lives generally range from three to seven years.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions and
major replacements or betterments that increase capacity or extend useful lives are added to
the cost of the asset. Upon sale or retirement of the asset, the cost and accumulated
depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is
included in other income (expense), net in the accompanying statements of income. During

</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">
The Company must make estimates of the collectibility of accounts receivables. Management
analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current
economic trends and changes in the customer&#146;s payment tendencies when evaluating the
adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for
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
received. The ultimate amount of accounts receivable that become uncollectible could differ
from those estimated; however, such losses have been generally within management&#146;s
expectations.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%"><B><I>Self-Insurance Reserves</I></B>
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">
The Company is self-insured for the deductible amount of its general liability and workers&#146;
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. An annual, independent actuarial study 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.

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;142 (SFAS No.&nbsp;142), &#147;Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets&#148;. Under SFAS No.&nbsp;142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible
assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed at least annually for impairment. SFAS No.
142 prescribes a two-phase process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first phase
screens for impairment; while the second phase (if necessary), measures the impairment. The
Company screened for impairment during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2006, 2005 and 2004 and
found no instances of impairment of its recorded goodwill.

The Company is subject to credit risk primarily due to a concentration of revenue derived
from its relationship with one major customer, which contributed 12.1%, 9.3%, and 6.2% of
total revenue for the fiscal years ended December&nbsp;31, 2006, December&nbsp;25, 2005, and December

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;144, (SFAS No.&nbsp;144), &#147;Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.&#148; SFAS No.&nbsp;144 establishes a single
accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and also requires a Company
to review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. No impairment losses

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">
Income taxes are accounted for by the asset and liability method. Under the asset and
liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to operating loss and credit carryforwards and differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. 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>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">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.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">
Basic income per common share is computed by using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted income per share is computed by using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect, if any, of stock options.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Significant estimates made in the preparation of the financial
statements include revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax
assets, goodwill impairment and workers&#146; compensation reserves.

The Company applies the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board (APB)&nbsp;Opinion No.&nbsp;25, &#147;Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees,&#148; and related interpretations, in accounting for its fixed 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; Based Compensation,&#148; established
accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS No.&nbsp;123, the Company has
elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above,
and has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No.&nbsp;123. Effective

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">January&nbsp;1,
2006, the Company adopted SFAS No.&nbsp;123R (revised 2004), &#147;Share-Based Payment,&#148; which is a
revision of SFAS No.&nbsp;123 &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation&#148; and supersedes Accounting
Principles Board (&#147;APB&#148;) Opinion No.&nbsp;25 &#147;Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees&#148; and its
related implementation guidance. The Statement focuses primarily on accounting for
transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment
transactions. SFAS No.&nbsp;123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee
services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date
fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). The cost is recognized over the period
during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. The
Company adopted SFAS No.&nbsp;123R using the modified prospective method. Under this method,
results of prior periods are not restated. There was no share-based compensation expense
recorded in fiscal year 2006.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">The Company did not recognize share-based compensation related to options for the years
ended December&nbsp;31, 2005 and 2004. The exercise price of the Company&#146;s employee stock awards
equaled the market price of the
underlying stock on the date of the grant per APB Opinion No.&nbsp;25, &#147;Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees,&#148; and related interpretations. Prior to January&nbsp;1, 2006, the Company
followed SFAS No.&nbsp;123, &#147;Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,&#148; as amended by SFAS No.148
&#147;Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation&#151;Transition and Disclosure,&#148; through disclosure
only. The Company accounted for share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method
prescribed in APB Opinion No.&nbsp;25, and related interpretations. The fair value for each
option grant was estimated under SFAS No.&nbsp;123 using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company provides workers compensation insurance and contracts its claims administration
with an independent third-party carrier. Each annual contract covers all workers&#146; compensation
claim costs greater than a specified deductible amount on a per occurrence basis. The Company is
self-insured for its deductible liability ($250,000 per individual claim for fiscal years 2005 and
2004 and $500,000 per incident for all subsequent periods). The carrier is responsible for
incremental losses in excess of the applicable deductible amount.

compensation claims, representing the estimated ultimate cost of claims and related expenses that
have been reported but not settled, and that have been incurred but not reported. The estimated
ultimate cost of a claim is determined based upon a detailed actuarial analysis of historical
claims experience of both the Company and the staffing industry. The Company periodically updates
the actuarial analysis supporting the development factors utilized and revises those development
factors, as necessary. Adjustments to the claims reserve are recorded to expense in the years
which they occur.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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, 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. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company had $1,000,000
in borrowings against the Facility and subsequently paid all of the borrowings back within this
same quarter. During this time and throughout 2006 and 2005, the Company was in compliance with

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company had reserved 100,000 common shares for issuance in conjunction with its 2000
Independent Directors&#146; Stock Option Plan, (the &#147;Directors&#146; Plan&#148;). The purpose of the Directors&#146;
Plan was to strengthen the alignment of interest between the independent directors and the
stockholders of Ablest Inc. through increased ownership by the independent directors of the
Company&#146;s common stock. The Directors&#146; Plan provided for the granting of options to purchase 6,000
shares of common stock on the date of the respective directors&#146; election to the Board of Directors
(the &#147;Board&#148;) and for the granting of options to purchase 1,500 common shares each time director
was re-elected to the Board. The price per share deliverable upon exercise was equal to 100% of the
fair market value of the shares on the date the option was granted. The initial grant of options to
purchase 6,000 common shares was exercisable in three equal, annual installments on the first,
second and third anniversary of the grant thereof. All subsequent grants were exercisable on the
first anniversary of the grant thereof. The term of
each grant was 10&nbsp;years from the date it was granted.

Option Plan and the Company&#146;s 1996 Leveraged Stock Option Plan and the purchase of restricted
common stock of the Company through delivery of a full recourse promissory note in an amount equal
to the aggregate purchase price of the common stock issued. The per share purchase price of the
common stock issued was equal to the fair market value of the common stock on October&nbsp;9, 2000 (the
effective date of the Program). The number of common shares issued to each Program participant was
based on a conversion factor determined by calculating the fair value of the various option grants
previously issued, using the Black-Scholes Method, divided by the fair market price of the common
stock available to purchase. A total of 234,716 option shares were surrendered and 55,313 common
shares issued. The shares issued under the Program are accounted for under variable plan
accounting, as defined in SFAS No.&nbsp;123. As such, additional compensation expense of $22,000 was
recorded in fiscal 2001 to reflect increase in the fair value of the common shares issued.

completed and closed its examinations of the Company&#146;s tax returns for all years through 2003. In
connection with these examinations, in January&nbsp;2006, the IRS issued the Company an assessment
related to the previously filed 2001 tax return, which disallowed $3,114,000 of net operating loss
(&#147;NOL&#148;) carryfowards. These NOLs represented $1,182,000 of the Company&#146;s deferred tax assets, and
were derived from the 2000 sale of the industrial maintenance business. Therefore, the effective
tax rate for fiscal 2005 was 82.6%, which resulted in tax expense of $2,542,000. The Company has
notified the IRS of their acceptance of the IRS findings and received the final IRS ruling letter.
As a result of this ruling, the Company has reduced the deferred tax asset to reflect this
settlement and has exhausted the deferred tax asset related to the sale. However, this adjustment
did not impact revenues or operating expenses for 2005 and resulted in no cash impact for the 2005
fiscal year. Accordingly, for future periods, the Company anticipates that cash outlays will occur
for income tax purposes.
</DIV>

<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, the Company has determined
that the tax asset will be realizable.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company is subject, from time to time, to claims encountered in the normal course of business.
In the opinion of management, the resolution of all pending matters will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company&#146;s financial condition or liquidity.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company carries a broad range of insurance coverage, including general and business auto
liability, commercial property, workers&#146; compensation and a general umbrella policy. The Company
is self-insured for general liability and workers&#146; compensation. Accruals for losses are made based
on the Company&#146;s claims experience and actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry.
Management believes that the amount accrued is adequate to cover all known and unreported claims at
December&nbsp;31, 2006. Actual losses could differ from accrued amounts.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As previously reported, on January&nbsp;18, 2007, the Company&#146;s Board of Directors received a proposal
from certain existing investors, including Charles H. Heist, III, the Company&#146;s Chairman of the
Board, Kurt R. Moore, the Company&#146;s President and Chief Executive Officer, The Burton Partnership
(QP), Limited Partnership and The Burton Partnership, Limited Partnership, to acquire all of the
Company&#146;s publicly held common stock for $7.50 per share in cash.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s Board of Directors formed a Special Committee of four independent directors to review
and evaluate the foregoing proposal and any strategic alternatives to the proposal that may be
available to the Company. Subsequent to the Company&#146;s public announcement of receipt of the
foregoing buyout proposal, the Special Committee received an indication of interest from a
potential third-party acquirer. The Special Committee has not made a determination whether either
proposed transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders or whether the
Company should pursue any other available strategic alternatives. The Special Committee continues
to evaluate the foregoing proposals, as well as other strategic alternatives for the Company.
Accordingly, no assurances can be given as to whether any particular strategic alternative will be
pursued or implemented. The Special Committee currently does not intend to make any further public
announcements regarding its review of possible strategic alternatives until its evaluation process
has been completed. See also &#147;Item&nbsp;3. Legal Proceedings.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company understands that on March&nbsp;5, 2007, David Ryman, an alleged shareholder of the Company,
filed a lawsuit against the Company, certain Company directors and officers, and other parties, on
behalf of a putative class of the Company&#146;s &#147;public shareholders.&#148; The litigation is pending in the
Circuit Court of the 13th Judicial
Circuit in and for Hillsborough County, Florida. The Company has not been advised that any
defendant has been served with the Complaint. The litigation relates to the Company&#146;s January&nbsp;23,
2007 announcement that: (i)&nbsp;certain existing investors, including Charles H. Heist, III, the
Company&#146;s Chairman of the Board, Kurt R. Moore, the Company&#146;s President and Chief Executive
Officer, and two partnerships that own Company shares, have presented the Company with a proposal
to acquire all of the Company&#146;s publicly held common stock; and (ii)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s Board of
Directors has formed a Special Committee of four independent directors to review and evaluate the
proposal, as well as other strategic alternatives for the Company . In his Complaint, the plaintiff
seeks: (i)&nbsp;an order enjoining the defendants from proceeding with, consummating or closing the
proposed transaction; (ii)&nbsp;in the event that the transaction is closed, an order rescinding the
transaction or awarding damages; and (iii)&nbsp;an award of attorney&#146;s fees, expert&#146;s fees and costs.
The Company believes that the claims being made in the foregoing litigation are without merit and,
if such litigation proceeds, it intends to vigorously defend against such claims.
