Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by MPS Group, Inc. (“MPS”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures usually found in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full fiscal year.

2. Share Repurchases

During the first quarter of 2008, we repurchased 3.7 million shares of our common stock on the open market for a total cost of $40.6 million. All repurchased shares were retired, and accounted for using the cost method. The retirement of these shares was applied against “Additional contributed capital” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

3. Net Income per Common Share

The calculation of basic net income per common share and diluted net income per common share is presented below:

 

     Three Months Ended

(dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

   March 31,
2008
   March 31,
2007

Basic income per common share computation:

     

Net income

   $ 19,054    $ 17,480
             

Basic average common shares outstanding

     92,429      100,391

Incremental shares from assumed exercise of stock options and restricted stock awards

     1,278      2,434
             

Diluted average common shares outstanding

     93,707      102,825
             

Basic net income per common share

   $ 0.21    $ 0.17
             

Diluted net income per common share

   $ 0.20    $ 0.17
             

Options to purchase approximately 389,000 and 113,000 shares of common stock that were outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of the common shares for the respective periods.

4. Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to a number of lawsuits and claims arising out of the ordinary conduct of our business. In the opinion of management, based on the advice of in-house and external legal counsel, the lawsuits and claims pending are not likely to have a material adverse effect on us, our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

5. Segment Reporting

We disclose segment information in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 131, Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. We have four reportable segments: North American Professional Services, International Professional Services, North American IT Services, and International IT Services. Our reportable segments offer different services, have different client bases, experience differing economic characteristics, and are managed separately as each requires different resources and marketing strategies. Our segment results include the results from acquisitions discussed in Footnote 3 to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, along with the results from acquisitions named in Footnote 7. We evaluate segment performance based on revenues, gross profit, and income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes. We do not allocate income taxes, interest or unusual items to the segments. In addition, we do not report total assets by segment.

The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Footnote 2 to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and all intersegment sales and transfers are eliminated. In addition, no one customer represents more than 5% of our overall revenue.
