3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) released Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.” EITF 03-1 provides guidance for determining whether impairment for certain debt and equity investments is other-than-temporary and the measurement of an impaired loss. The recognition and measurement requirements of EITF 03-1 were initially effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. In September 2004, the FASB Staff issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 03-1-1 that delayed the effective date for certain measurement and recognition guidance contained in EITF 03-1. The FSP requires that entities continue to apply previously existing “other-than-temporary” guidance until a final consensus is reached. Management does not anticipate that issuance of a final consensus will materially impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (FAS 123R). FAS 123R requires compensation cost be recognized for new awards of equity instruments and unvested awards on the adoption date. The SEC amended the effective dates of FAS 123R for public companies in April 2005, which allows registrants to implement FAS 123R at the beginning of their next fiscal year, instead of the next interim period, that begins after June 15, 2005. The SEC also issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 107, Share-Based Payment, in April 2005, which provides the views of the SEC staff regarding certain aspects of the application of FAS 123R, Share-Based Payment. The staff’s intent in issuing SAB 107 is to assist issuers in their initial implementation of FAS 123R and to communicate that the staff understands that, particularly in the period of initial implementation, issuers may reasonably arrive at different estimates and option valuations in applying FAS 123R. We expect the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements, but we cannot reasonably estimate the impact of the adoption because certain assumptions used in the calculation of the value of share-based payments may change in 2005.

4. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2002, the FASB approved the issuance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Translation and Disclosure” (FAS No. 148). This statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value

based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amended the disclosure requirements of the FAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the effect of the methods used on reported results. The Company adopted disclosure provisions as of December 31, 2002.

The exercise price per share on all options granted may not be less than the fair value at the date of the option grant. The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25), as modified by FIN 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation,” in accounting for stock-based employee compensation, whereby no compensation cost had been recognized for the plans. The Company expects to continue following the guidance under APB 25 for stock-based compensation to employees. Had compensation cost for the plans been determined based on the fair value of the options at the grant dates and been consistent with the method of FAS 123, the Company’s net loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

5. Restricted Cash

Included in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 is restricted cash of nil and $191,000, respectively. Restricted cash represents funds received by Chimes and held in client-specific bank accounts, to be used to make payments to vendors of the applicable client.

6. Earnings Per Share

Basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding, except the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, where the effect would have been antidilutive. The calculation takes into account the shares that may be issued upon exercise of stock options, reduced by the shares that may be repurchased with the funds received from the exercise, based on the average price during the year.

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, the table below presents both basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended

Numerator:
Net income/(loss) - in thousands	$	330	$	(566	)

Basic earnings/(loss) per share	$	0.01	$	(0.02	)
Diluted earnings/(loss) per share	$	0.01	$	(0.02	)

The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes all options with exercise prices greater than the average market price in 2005 and all options in 2004 since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, 1,005,769 options were excluded with exercise prices between $3.89 and $23.00. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, 3,802,000 options were excluded with exercise prices between $4.40 and $23.00.

7. Segment Information

During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company completed a restructuring initiative whereby the Company’s business model has been realigned, effective January 1, 2005, around its three distinct segments of clients : Federal Government, Commercial and Vendor Management services (Chimes). As a result of the business realignment, the Company has reclassified the prior year amounts in order to provide a basis for comparison, conforming to our new lines of business. Income/(loss) before income taxes/ (benefit) consists of income/(loss) before income taxes, excluding interest income, interest expense, special charges/(credits), minority interest, and amortization of intangibles. These exclusions total income of $0.5 million and expense of $0.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively (see reconciliation of segment income/(loss) before income taxes/(benefit) to consolidated income/(loss) before income taxes/(benefit)). Corporate services, consisting of general and administrative services, are provided to the segments from a centralized location. Such costs are allocated to the applicable segments receiving Corporate services based on revenue.

8. Restructuring Charges

During the fourth quarter of 2004, in connection with the Company’s business model realignment, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $2.9 million comprised of approximately $2.8 million in severance costs and $0.1 million in lease obligation costs. The lease obligation of $0.1 million is calculated based on current rent commitments less a calculated sublease amount based on current market conditions.

10. Comprehensive Income / (Loss)

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (FAS No. 130) requires that items defined as other comprehensive income/(loss), such as foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses, be separately classified in the financial statements and that the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income/(loss) be reported separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the balance sheet. The components of comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 are as follows:

11. Purchase of Treasury Stock

In April of 2001, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase in the open market of up to 10% of its common shares outstanding, or approximately 3.2 million shares. The Company did not repurchase shares of its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. As of March 31, 2005, the remaining authorization for repurchase is approximately 93,000 shares.

12. Asset-Based Lending Facility

The Company has a $40 million line of credit facility with availability based primarily on eligible client receivables. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 2.75% based on unpaid principal. The borrowing base less outstanding loans must equal or exceed $5.0 million. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had no outstanding loan balance against the facility. Based on the Company’s eligible client receivables and cash balances, $15.7 million was available for borrowing as of March 31, 2005. The fee for the unused portion of the line of credit is 0.375% per annum charged to the Company monthly. This charge was approximately $27,000 and $26,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This line of credit includes covenants relating to the maintenance of cash balances and providing for limitations on incurring obligations and spending limits on capital expenditures. The Company did not satisfy this covenant for the quarter ended incurring March 31, 2004. A waiver was received from the lending institution for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 along with an amendment to the loan agreement lowering the three-month average minimum collections covenant to $10 million. At March 31, 2005, the Company is in compliance with the covenant. The facility was scheduled to expire in July 2004. However, on July 14, 2004, the Company signed a one-year extension of the facility, which will remain in effect until July 2005. In February 2005, the Company and its current lending institution agreed in principal to terms (non-binding) which would extend the credit facility for a three-year term. The line of credit would remain at $40 million, with all other terms, conditions and costs similar to those which were in effect as of December 31, 2004.

13. Income Taxes

Tax Benefit Reserve

On March 9, 2002, the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002 (the “Act”) was enacted into law. This Act contained many economic and tax incentives, including the extension of the carryback period for losses arising in years ending during 2001 and 2002 to five years from the previous two year carryback rule. As a result, the Company’s tax refund claim of approximately $10 million at December 31, 2001, which was received in April 2002, was increased to approximately $30 million. The additional refund amount of $20 million was received in January 2003.

During 1998, the Company completed a business combination which, for financial statement purposes, was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. For income tax purposes, the transaction was treated as a taxable purchase that gave rise to future tax deductions. Upon the sale of the acquired business in 2001, these deductions were recognized for tax purposes. The tax benefit of $19.6 million relating to the part of these deductions that was carried back to prior years was included in refundable income taxes in 2002. Since the tax structure of the transaction was subject to review by the tax authorities, the Company recorded a reserve for the tax benefits resulting from the carryback and did not record deferred tax assets for the tax benefits being carried forward.

In December 2003, the Internal Revenue Service examined the Company’s Federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, along with its Federal refund claims for the calendar years 1996 through 1999. The additional refund amount received in January 2003 was shown as a liability until the audit was completed. During the first quarter of 2004, the Internal Revenue Service and the Joint Committee on Taxation completed their examination of the Company’s Federal income tax returns and Federal refund claims, and accepted them without change. Accordingly, the tax benefit was recorded as a decrease in tax benefit reserves of $19.6 million, a decrease in other tax reserves of $0.3 million, and an increase in additional paid-in capital of $19.9 million. There was no charge or credit to income. The Company did not record deferred tax assets for the tax benefits being carried forward due to remaining uncertainties. It is anticipated that a deferred tax asset, net of an appropriate valuation allowance, will be recorded when it is probable that the tax benefit will be realized. The tax benefit will be reflected as an increase in additional paid-in capital.

Deferred Tax Asset

The Company records deferred tax assets for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and their respective tax bases, and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers the scheduled reversal periods of the deferred tax assets as well as projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies.

The Company has significant deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carryforwards, capital loss carryforwards, and deductible temporary differences that may reduce taxable income in future periods. The Company has provided full valuation allowances on the future tax benefits related to capital losses, foreign net operating losses, and most state net operating losses. The Company believes that the valuation allowance is appropriate because these deferred tax assets have relatively short carryforward periods or relate to taxing jurisdictions which do not allow the filing of consolidated tax returns. The Company expects to continue to maintain a valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets until an appropriate level of profitability is sustained in the applicable taxing jurisdictions, or strategies are developed that would enable the Company to conclude that it is more likely than not that a portion of these deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the net remaining deferred tax assets of $19.5 million at March 31, 2005 will be realized, principally based upon forecasted taxable income. Although the Company has experienced operating losses in past years, the Company experienced improved operational performance in the first quarter of 2005 resulting from the Company’s realignment initiatives completed in the fourth quarter of 2004, and continued improvement in the operating results of its Chimes subsidiary. This operating improvement is expected to continue in 2005. The minimum average annual taxable income required to realize the deferred tax assets over the 20-year net operating loss carryforwrd period is approximately $2.8 million.

Current federal and state tax laws impose restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets following an ownership change as provided in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. If the Company were to undergo a Section 382 ownership change, the deferred tax assets may be subject to an annual limitation which may limit the Company’s ability to utilize the deferred tax assets.

14. Rescission Offer

From April 2001 through January 2003, the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan were not exempt from registration or qualification under Federal securities laws. As a result, the Company may have failed to comply with the registration or qualification requirements of Federal and applicable state securities laws because the Company did not register or qualify these stock issuances under either Federal or applicable state securities laws.

As a result, the Company made a rescission offer, effective July 27, 2004, to all those persons who purchased shares of common stock pursuant to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan during the affected periods. The rescission offer was made pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act and pursuant to applicable state securities laws. In this rescission offer, the Company offered to repurchase the shares, subject to our rescission offer, for the price paid per share plus interest from the date of purchase until the rescission offer expires, at the current statutory rate per year mandated by the state in which the shares were purchased. The rescission offer expired on August 27, 2004, with no individuals accepting the rescission offer.

15. Legal Matters

The Company is involved in various and routine litigation matters, which arise through the normal course of business. Management believes that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

16. Special Items

Income from operations for the first quarter of 2005 includes a credit of $675,000, which relates to a bad debt recovery. The Company has reported the credit on a separate line for disclosure purposes and the amount is reported within operating income.

17. Subsequent Events

On April 12, 2005, the Company, a New York corporation, JV Merger Corp., a Minnesota corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Sub”), and Analysts International Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (“Analysts”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Sub will be merged with and into Analysts (the “Merger”) and each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $.10 per share, of Analysts (other than shares held of record by the Company, Sub, Analysts and any of their subsidiaries) shall be converted into the right to receive 1.15 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.10 per share (the “Merger Consideration”). In addition, upon completion of the Merger, the Company will assume all options then outstanding under Analysts’ existing equity incentive plans, each of which will be exercisable for a number of shares of Company Common Stock (and at an exercise price) adjusted to reflect the Merger Consideration. Completion of the Merger is subject to several conditions, including approval by the shareholders of each company, effectiveness of a Form S-4 registration statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and clearance under any applicable foreign antitrust laws, and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Additionally, the Merger Agreement may be terminated by the Company or Analysts upon the occurrence or failure to occur of certain events, including a failure of the Merger to be consummated by November 30, 2005.

Item 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the Periods Ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004

The following detailed discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2004 financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K and the Financial Statements and notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Overview

Computer Horizons Corp., (“CHC” or the “Company”), is a strategic solutions and human capital management company with more than thirty-seven years of experience, specifically in information technology. The Company’s clients are primarily Global 2000 companies, serviced by over 20 offices in the United States, Canada, and India.

This is the first quarter that the Company is reporting by the realigned operating segments : Commercial, Federal Government and Vendor Management services (Chimes.). As a result of the business realignment, the Company has reclassified the prior year amounts in order to provide a basis for comparison, conforming to our new lines of business.

The Company recorded revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 of $66.6 million, a twelve percent increase from the comparable period in 2004. The income from operations in the first quarter of 2005 totaled $508,000, including $350,000 of amortization expense related to intangibles and a $675,000 special credit related to a bad debt recovery. This compares to a loss from operations of approximately $894,000 for the first quarter of 2004, which included an amortization expense related to intangibles of $208,000.

Management continues to focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet, with approximately $31 million in cash at March 31, 2005, along with $69.0 million in working capital and no debt outstanding.

On April 1, 2004, the Company’s subsidiary, RGII Technologies, Inc., acquired Automated Information Management, Inc. (AIM), a federal government IT Services company for approximately $15.7 million in cash. The acquisition of AIM is directly linked to our strategy of expanding our presence in the federal government IT market and pursuing bolt on expansions to our RGII subsidiary.

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in this Item 2 has been changed to reflect the realigned operating segments : Commercial, Federal Government and Vendor Management services (Chimes) for 2004, as previously reported in the Company’s Form 10-Q/A for the quarter March 31, 2004.

Revenue Generating Activities

The majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from professional services rendered in the information technology sector. Effective January 1, 2005, the Company realigned its business operations into three segments : Commercial, Federal Government and Vendor Management services (Chimes).

The Commercial business consists of providing technology consultants to large organizations on a temporary hire basis and is classified in two general categories, staff augmentation and solutions work. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, this segment represented approximately 73% of total revenues, including $35.5 million of staff augmentation revenue and $13.2 million of commercial solutions revenue. For staff augmentation assignments, the consultant work is supervised and managed by the customer. Staff augmentation tends to be a lower risk, lower gross margin business with very competitive pricing. The Company’s solutions work tends to be higher margin, higher risk business, due to the fact that the Company is responsible for project deliverables and other conditions contained in statements of work and/or contracts with clients. Virtually all projects performed by the commercial solutions group are IT related and consist of practices such as application development, outsourcing arrangements, government services, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, (“HIPAA”), services, technology training and managed services.

The Company’s customer relationships are memorialized in a master agreement, which address the terms and conditions which define the client engagement. Depending on the service to be performed for the client, either a task order (in the case of a Staffing engagement) or a Statement of Work (“SOW”) (in the case of a Solutions engagement) is generated. The SOW is signed by both the Company and the customer. In general, no Solutions work is done unless there is a SOW because the SOW provides the technical details of the work to be done. The SOW, although falling under the corresponding master agreement, is a stand-alone binding contractual document, typically outlining the project objectives, describing the personnel who will work on the project, describing phases of the project, the timeframes for work performance, and the rate of compensation, on a time and materials basis. In the event that the parameters of the project expand or otherwise change, a Project Change Request is implemented, to memorialize whatever change has occurred to the deliverables, personnel and or time/materials. The master agreements, in conjunction with the SOW’s, are written to define, with as much detail as possible, the client relationship and all aspects of the work to be performed for the client. With regard to revenues expected in future periods, each SOW has a defined term or sets forth the anticipated length of a project. Where a client engagement is on-going, like certain “Help Desk” type services, the master agreements would still have a term length, but would recite that the agreement was renewable. Generally commercial solutions engagements are for a year or less. Staff augmentation engagements can and do last for more than a year, with variations in the number of consultants being provided at any given time. Staffing engagements are generally cancelable by clients with a two to four week notice period.

The Federal Government segment consists primarily of solutions type assignments, whereby the Company is responsible for project deliverables and other conditions contained in statements of work and/or contracts with the Federal Government. Federal Government engagements generally have a duration of several years, contingent upon the Federal Government exercising annual options to continue work. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Federal Government segment accounted for approximately 17% of consolidated revenues.

Chimes, Inc. is a human capital management solution that, through the use of proprietary software and processes, manages the temporary workforce of large organizations. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, Chimes accounted for approximately 10% of total revenues.

Critical Accounting Policies

The most critical accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements are related to revenue recognition, the evaluation of the bad debt reserve, the valuation of goodwill and the valuation of the deferred tax asset.

Revenue Recognition

Approximately 94% of consolidated revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively, was derived from time-and-material contracts.

The Company recognizes revenues either on time-and material basis or fixed fee basis. Under a typical time and materials billing arrangement, our customers are billed on a regularly scheduled basis, such as biweekly or monthly. At the end of each accounting period, revenue is estimated and accrued for services performed since the last billing cycle. These unbilled amounts are billed the following month.

For fixed-fee contracts, revenue is recognized on the basis of the estimated percentage of completion. Each fixed fee contract has different terms, milestones and deliverables. The milestones and deliverables primarily relate to the work to be performed and the timing of the billing. At the end of each reporting period an assessment of revenue recognized on the percentage of completion and milestones achieved criteria is made. If it becomes apparent that estimated cost will be exceeded or required milestones or deliverables will not have been obtained, an adjustment to revenue and/or costs will be made. The cumulative effect of revisions in estimated revenues and costs are recognized in the period in which the facts that give rise to the impact of any revisions become known.

Unbilled accounts receivable represent amounts recognized as revenue based on services performed in advance of customer billings principally on a time-and- material basis. At the end of each accounting period, revenue is accrued for services performed since the last billing cycle. These unbilled amounts are billed the following month. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on fixed fee contracts arise when percentage of completion accounting is used. Such amounts are billed at specific dates or at contract completion.

The Company’s Chimes subsidiary recognizes revenue on a transaction fee basis. The Chimes service offering aggregates the suppliers of temporary workers to the customer and renders one invoice to the customer. Upon payment from the customer, Chimes deducts a transaction fee and remits the balance of the client payment to the applicable vendor. Chimes recognizes only their fee for the service, not the aggregate billing to the customer. The gross amount of the customer invoicing is not considered revenue or receivable to Chimes because there is no earnings process for the gross amount and by contract terms, Chimes is not obligated to pay the vendor until paid by the customer.

Evaluation of Bad Debt Reserve

The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Goodwill

As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the fair value of each of the reporting units was calculated using the following approaches (i) market approach and (ii) income approach. The reporting units are equal to, or one level below, reportable segments. Under the market approach, value is estimated by comparing the performance fundamentals relating to similar public companies’ stock prices. Multiples are then developed of the value of the publicly traded stock to various measures and are then applied to each reporting unit to estimate the value of its equity. Under the income approach, value was determined using the present value of the projected future cash flows to be generated by the reporting unit.

The fair value conclusion of the reporting units reflects an appropriately weighted value of the market multiple approach and the income approach discussed above. An asset approach was not used because the asset approach is most relevant for liquidation approaches, investment company valuations and asset rich company valuations (i.e. real estate entities) and was not deemed relevant for manufacturing and service company going-concern valuations.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, using an evaluation prepared by an independent appraisal firm, the Company reassessed the carrying value of goodwill associated with its Solutions Group. Because of a reduction in projected future cash flows in the Commercial Solutions business unit, primarily resulting from significant revenue declines in 2004, the Company determined that goodwill was impaired and recorded a non-cash charge of $20.3 million, related to the write-off of the Commercial Solutions goodwill. There was no income tax effect on the impairment charge as the related goodwill was primarily attributable to acquisitions which yielded no tax basis for the Company. The remaining Solutions goodwill of $27.6 million, as of December 31, 2004, is associated with the Company’s Federal Government practice. As of December 31, 2004, the indicated fair value of the Federal Government reporting unit exceeded the carrying value. As a result, the Company concluded that the goodwill of approximately $27.6 million is not impaired.

Valuation of the Deferred Tax Asset

reversal periods of the deferred tax assets as well as projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues . Revenues increased to $66.6 million in the first quarter of 2005 from $59.7 million in the first quarter of 2004, an increase of $6.9 million or 12%.

Commercial Group revenues increased to $48.7 million in the first quarter of 2005 from $44.8 million in the first quarter of 2004, an increase of $3.9 million or 9%. The year-over-year increase in the Commercial Group revenues for the first quarter of 2005 is primarily attributable to an increase in consultant headcount of approximately 11% from the first quarter of 2004, partially offset by a reduction in average bill rates.

Federal Government Group revenues (comprised of RGII and AIM) increased to $11.5 million in the first quarter of 2005 from $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2004, a net increase of $1.9 million or 21%. This net increase is comprised of a $4.1 million increase from the AIM acquisition completed by the Company in April 2004, partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in RGII revenues from the first quarter of 2004. The RGII revenue decrease is related to the transition of 8(a) restricted contracts during 2004.

Chimes revenue increased to $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2005 from $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2004, an increase of $1 million or 19%. This increase in Chimes revenue is due to an increase of approximately $ 0.3 million in revenue from new customers and $0.7 million from existing customers in this segment.

Direct Costs .. Direct costs increased to $45.6 million in the first quarter of 2005 from $40.8 million in the first quarter of 2004. Consolidated gross margin, revenues less direct costs, slightly decreased to 31.5% in the first quarter of 2005 from 31.7% in the same period of 2004. In the Company’s Commercial Group, gross margin decreased to 19.6% in the first quarter of 2005, compared to 21.6% in the first quarter of 2004 due to competitive pressures in this business segment and the resulting reduction in bill rates and margins. Federal Government Group’s gross margin for the first quarter of 2005 was 46.9%, compared to 43.4% in the comparable period of 2004, primarily due to the April 2004 AIM acquisition. Chimes gross margin approximated 95.1% in the first quarter of 2005, compared to 94.5% in the same period of 2004.

Costs and Expenses .. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to approximately $21 million in the first quarter of 2005 from approximately $19.6 million in the first quarter of 2004, an increase of $1.4 million or 7.1%. This increase is due to the acquisition of AIM in April 2004. As a percentage of revenue, the Company’s SG&A expenses decreased to 31.5% in the first quarter of 2005 from 32.8% in the comparable period of 2004.

Income/(Loss) from Operations .. The Company’s income from operations totaled $333,000 in the first quarter of 2005, including amortization expense totaling $350,000 and a special credit of $675,000 related to a bad debt recovery. This represents an improvement from the $894,000 loss in the first quarter of 2004 which includes amortization expense of $208,000.

The composition of the operating profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, excluding amortization expense of $350,000 and the special credit of $675,000 related to a bad debt recovery, included a loss of $1,467,000 in the Commercial Group, income of $880,000 in the Federal Government Group and income of $595,000 in Chimes. For the comparable quarter of 2004, the Commercial Group had a loss of $849,000, the Federal Group had income of approximately $579,000, and Chimes had a loss of $416,000.

Other Income/(Expense) .. Other income (primarily net interest income) totaled $175,000 in the first quarter of 2005 compared to income of $83,000 in the same period of 2004.

Provision for Income Taxes .. The effective tax rate for Federal, state and local income taxes was expense of 35% for the first quarter of 2005 and benefit of 31.3% for the first quarter of 2004 (due to the losses incurred in this quarter).

Net Income/(Loss) .. Net income for the first quarter of 2005 was $330,000 or $0.01 earnings per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $566,000, or $(0.02) loss per basic share for the first quarter of 2004. The effect of amortization expense and the special credit pertaining to a bad debt recovery in the first quarter of 2005 amounted to $(0.01) loss per share and $0.01 earnings per share, net of taxes, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Computer Horizons has historically financed its operations through cash generated from operations, borrowings against bank lines of credit and the public sale of its common stock. At March 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $69.0 million in working capital, of which $31.4 million was cash and cash equivalents. At March 31, 2005, the Company had a current ratio position of 3.9 to 1.

Net cash used in operating activities in the first three months of 2005 was $1.8 million, attributable to a decrease in accrued expenses of $4.8 million, partially offset by net income, depreciation/amortization expense (non-cash), totaling $1.8 million, and a decrease in other current assets of $1.5 million. The decrease in accrued expenses is primarily due to payments made in the first quarter of 2005 against year end accruals, including the restructure reserve established in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Total accounts receivable decreased $143,000 to $51.2 million at March 31, 2005, from $51.3 million at December 31, 2004. Accounts receivable days sales outstanding (“DSO”) improved to 69 days at March 31, 2005, compared to 77 days at March 31, 2004. DSO’s are expected to approximate the current level during the remainder of 2005. All client receivable collectibility and billing issues identified by management have been adequately reserved. For the period ended March 31, 2005, there were no significant changes in credit terms, credit policies or collection efforts.

Net cash used in investing activities in the first three months of 2005 was $0.6 million, consisting of capital expenditures.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the first three months of 2005 was $0.4 million primarily consisting of shares issued pursuant to the employee stock option plan.

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s acquisition of RGII, the seller of RGII may be entitled to contingent payments based on RGII’s performance against profitability objectives over three years. The contingent payments are evidenced by a contingent note with a face value of $10 million that is payable over three years only if certain financial performance objectives are met. These financial performance objectives are based on earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) targets totaling $19.8 million over a three-year period. There are no minimum or maximum payment obligations under the terms of the contingent note. The contingent payment will be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis for financial performance below EBIT targets and increased by 29 cents ($0.29) for each dollar exceeding EBIT targets. In February 2004, a payment was made for the first six-month installment of approximately $631,000, pertaining to this contingent note. In February 2005, a payment of approximately $1.8 million was made representing the second installment of the contingent note. Future payments, if the applicable EBIT targets are met, will be due as follows: 2005 payment of $3.3 million and 2006 payment of $4.3 million. These payments will be reduced or increased based on actual EBIT performance over the three-year period.

During the first quarter of 2004, the Company recorded a non-cash reduction in tax benefit reserves and an increase in additional paid-in capital of $19.9 million.

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings and internally generated funds will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs through the next year.
