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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The provisions of FSP FAS 142-3 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. Early application is prohibited. We do not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 141-R, Business Combinations. This statement is effective for us on January 1, 2009, and applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. SFAS 141-R significantly changes the accounting for acquisitions. Some of the major provisions are that acquisition related costs will generally be expensed as incurred, contingent consideration will be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date, with adjustments to certain forms of contingent liabilities impacting the results of operations. The impact that SFAS 141-R will have on our consolidated financial statements after adoption will depend on the nature, terms, and size of the acquisitions we consummate after adoption.

2. Share Repurchases

In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we repurchased 5.9 million shares of our common stock on the open market for a total cost of $64.4 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 Sheet as of September 30, 2008.

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:

   September 30,
2008
   September 30,

   September 30,

2007

Basic net income per common share computation:

           

Net income

   $ 17,208    $ 23,169    $ 57,007    $ 63,537
                           

Basic average common shares outstanding

     88,458      99,071      90,159      99,951

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

     1,857      1,731      1,579      2,295
                           

Diluted average common shares outstanding

     90,315      100,802      91,738      102,246
                           

Basic net income per common share

   $ 0.19    $ 0.23    $ 0.63    $ 0.64
                           

Diluted net income per common share

   $ 0.19    $ 0.23    $ 0.62    $ 0.62
                           

Options to purchase approximately 307,000 and 205,000 shares of common stock that were outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share as the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of the common shares for the respective periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, options to purchase approximately 335,000 and 149,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share for the aforementioned reason.

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 our opinion, 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 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 7, as well as in Footnote 3 to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. 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.
