representing a $0.9 million increase in revenue.

December 31, 2010 was $0.226 million or $0.02 per share fully diluted versus
$0.186 million or $0.01 per share fully diluted for the same three-month period
in 2009, representing a $0.040 million increase in net income available to
common stock shareholders.
Working capital at December 31, 2010 was $2.0 million, as compared to working
capital at June 30, 2010 of $1.2 million, representing an increase of $0.8
million during the six month period. This increase was due to the continued
profitability of the Company’s operations.
The Company reported EBITDA of $0.560 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2010, as compared to EBITDA of $0.499 million for the same
three-month period in 2009, representing a $0.061 million increase in EBITDA for
the current period.
Total number of worksite employees at December 31, 2010 was 14,463 as compared
to 13,600 at December 31, 2009, representing a net increase of 863 worksite
employees.
“We are pleased with our performance this quarter, with increases in revenue,
net income, EBITDA and worksite employees as compared to the same quarter last
year,” stated Tena Mayberry, President and CEO. “The fourth calendar quarter is
historically one of our most challenging, due to seasonality factors that tend
to reduce the total number of worksite employees and gross billings. As we grow
our worksite employees and keep our overhead expenses at the same level, the
additional profit generated from each additional worksite employee goes directly
to our bottom line. As the economy recovers, we will focus on continuing to grow
our worksite employee count and increasing income for our shareholders.”
