Savings Plan We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Volt Information Sciences, Inc. Savings Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2005, and reportable transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements A. Background The Volt Information Sciences, Inc. Savings Plan (the "Plan"), as amended and restated, was adopted by the Board of Directors of Volt Information Sciences, Inc. ("VIS" or the "Company") on September 29, 1980. In January 2000, the Volt Information Sciences, Inc. Employees' Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") was merged into the Plan. In connection therewith, all of the ESOP assets were transferred into the Plan. All ESOP benefit accruals were frozen and all accounts became fully vested, effective January 1, 2000. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). B. Significant Accounting Policies The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis. Investments, including the investment in VIS common stock, are stated at fair value, generally determined by reference to published market data. Participant loans are stated at their outstanding principal balances, which approximate fair value. All costs and expenses incurred with regard to the administration of the Plan are paid by the Company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 5 Volt Information Sciences, Inc. Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) C. Investments The fair value of investments held by the Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

Participants who have attained the age of 60 and have completed ten years of participation in the Plan may elect to diversify the investment of up to 50% of their individual accounts during the "election period". 7 Volt Information Sciences, Inc. Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) D. Tax Status The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated December 6, 2002, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the Internal Revenue Service, the Plan was amended. The Plan has applied for but not yet received a new determination letter. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Administrator will take all actions necessary to maintain the qualified status of the Plan. E. Plan Description A brief description of certain provisions of the Plan agreement is as follows. A more detailed description of the Plan provisions is maintained in the Plan Document. Eligibility: Employees become eligible on their first day of employment, except as outlined in the Plan Document. Participant Contributions: Effective January 2, 2003, participants have the option of contributing up to 60% of base compensation, up to the Internal Revenue Service maximum or Plan limitations, which is not currently taxable to the employee, into any of the Plan's available core fund options. Participants who have reached age 50 on or before December 31 and who have already contributed the maximum, may elect to make a catch-up contribution up to the Internal Revenue Service maximum. Employer Contributions: The Company provides a matching contribution equal to 50% of the first 3% of salary contributions by eligible participants. These contributions are made semi-annually. Company matching contributions vest at a rate of 20% per year over a five-year period. The forfeited portion of an account of an employee who leaves employment with VIS without being fully vested may be used to reduce future employer contributions. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the balance of unused forfeitures was $239,179 and $142,243, respectively. Rollover Contributions: The Plan permits the acceptance of rollover contributions upon approval of the Company. Rollover contributions generally consist of lump-sum distributions received by a participant from a qualified retirement plan, an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity. Rollover contributions are included in participant contributions in the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits. Investments: Upon enrollment or reenlistment and on a daily basis thereafter, each participant can direct that his or her contributions and the Company matching contribution be invested in one or more of the available core funds. In addition, participants have the option to participate in a self-directed account and may invest up to 50% of their total account balance in mutual funds outside of the core funds. 8 Volt Information Sciences, Inc. Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) E. Plan Description (continued) The Plan has a loan provision which permits participating employees to borrow from their 401(k) contribution account. The maximum loan is 50% of the participant's account balance, up to $50,000. The loan, together with interest, is repaid through payroll deductions. Interest is credited to the participant's account. The interest rate is the prime rate plus 1% at the time the loan is processed. Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. Upon such termination, participants become 100% vested and Plan assets will be distributed to participants based on their individual account balances. F. Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500 The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements to the Form 5500:
