Business Discussion Service revenue increased approximately $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the same quarter in the previous year. The increase in service revenues during the first quarter of 2006 compared to the same quarter in the previous year was primarily related to the increase in the number of billable employees, the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center contract, and growth in engineering services. Reimbursed costs revenue increased $100,000 in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. The increase in reimbursed cost revenue is primarily related to an increase in purchases made for customers. Product revenue decreased approximately $319,000 in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the same quarter of the previous year. The decrease in product revenue resulted from a reduction of software re-sales to governmental organizations. Management Comments "We are pleased with our financial performance this quarter and expect continued improvement throughout 2006," said Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Frank Libutti, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Digital Fusion. "We announced our move into the northeast region and we continue to expand our customer base. We grew revenue $2.7 million and EBITDA 71% over of the same quarter in the previous year." "We are off to a great start, revenue for the first quarter of 2006 was up sequentially and we are positioned for continued growth," said Gary Ryan, Digital Fusion's president. "Our service revenues were up 84% from the same quarter in the previous year and we continue to add billable employees. We ended the first quarter of 2006 with over 215 employees and expect to have 300 employees at the end of the year."

This press release includes non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share data, and other non-GAAP line items from the Non-GAAP Information table in this release. These measures exclude the effect of stock compensation expense for employee stock options associated with the application of SFAS 123R, which Digital Fusion, Inc. adopted effective January 1, 2006. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Digital Fusion, Inc. believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. In particular, as Digital Fusion, Inc. begins to apply SFAS 123R, it believes that it is useful to investors to understand how the expense associated with the application of SFAS 123R are reflected in its results of operations. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures permits both investors and management to more readily compare past results, which do not include the impact of SFAS 123R, with future results, and to better understand Digital Fusion's performance over the periods presented.

Management believes EBITDA provides additional, useful information regarding Digital Fusion's ability to meet our debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. EBITDA is a traditional measure of a business' ability to generate cash flows irrespective of financing costs and is presented as a supplemental financial measurement in the evaluation of our business.
