         Volt Information Sciences Announces Expanded Financing Package

    NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 2004--Volt Information
Sciences, Inc. (NYSE: VOL) announced today the closing of its expanded
financing facilities.
    The Company increased the maximum capacity of its accounts
receivable securitization program from $100 million to $150 million
and extended the term of the program by one year to April 2006. Under
the securitization program, certain receivables of the Company's
Staffing segment are sold from time to time to Volt Funding Corp, a
wholly owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company, which in turn
sells interests in the receivables to Three Rivers Funding Corporation
("TRFC"), an asset backed commercial paper conduit sponsored by Mellon
Financial Markets, LLC. Volt Funding is a 100% owned consolidated
subsidiary of the Company, with accounts receivables only reduced to
reflect the fair value of the interests actually sold to TRFC. The
Company currently utilizes $50 million of the program.
    The Company also entered into a $30 million 364 day, secured,
syndicated revolving credit agreement subject to substantially the
same terms and covenants as the expiring two year $40 million
agreement. The receivables used as collateral for this facility are
from subsidiaries other than those in the securitization program. JP
Morgan Chase Bank is the administrative agent and arranger for the
facility with Mellon Bank, NA, Wells Fargo, NA, and Lloyds TSB Bank
PLC also participating. The Company currently has no outstanding
borrowings under this facility.
    "We believe that these facilities will provide us with the
resources necessary to finance our foreseeable working capital and
other funding requirements while maintaining our low cost of
financing," commented William Shaw, Chairman and President of the
Company.
