CH GIRDS FOR VOTE ON $99M DEAL
BY KATE GIBSON Posted 04:16 EST, 30, Aug 2005

Looking to score  decisions in court and with  shareholders,  COMPUTER  HORIZONS
CORP. and dissident  investors  campaigned down to the wire before Friday,  Aug.
26's  vote  on the  company's  proposed  $99  million  acquisition  of  ANALYSTS
INTERNATIONAL CORP.

Another vote, this one on a proposal that would oust the company's board, is set
for late September.

Computer Horizons,  of Mountain Lakes,  N.J., on Tuesday,  Aug. 30, reiterated a
call  to   shareholders   urging  them  to  approve   its  planned   union  with
Minneapolis-based Analysts International.

In a statement,  Computer  Horizons,  a provider of  information  technology and
staffing  services,  said  opposition  to the deal comes from a "small group" of
investors seeking short-term gains.

That group is led by New York hedge fund CRESCENDO  PARTNERS LP and its managing
partner,  Eric Rosenfeld.  A court hearing scheduled for Tuesday in the New York
Supreme Court was rescheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

"We're looking forward to Friday," Rosenfeld said, who said he is legally barred
from predicting results of or otherwise discussing the merger vote.

The state court last week denied a request from  Crescendo  for an injunction to
block Computer  Horizons from  completing the deal with Analysts  International.
Crescendo  alleges that Computer Horizons is  misrepresenting  the purchase as a
merger of equals to increase its odds of  obtaining  shareholder  approval.  The
hedge fund maintains the company must secure backing from at least two-thirds of
all shares to complete the deal, while Computer  Horizons  maintains all that is
needed is a simple majority.

Computer  Horizons  would own 52% of the merged  entity,  and each company would
have equal representation on its 10-member board.

Crescendo had also asked the court to force  Computer  Horizons to set a special
shareholders meeting to vote on its proxy challenge. Computer Horizons scheduled
the meeting for Sept. 22 and set Sept. 12 as the record date for shareholders.

Crescendo  holds a 10.3%  stake in  Computer  Horizons,  but held  only  6.5% of
company  shares as of July 15,  the  voting  date of  record.  Investment  firms
AURELIAN PARTNERS LP and GRAHAM PARTNERS LP, which together own 1.3% of Computer
Horizons, also are opposing the deal.

Proxy solicitors INSTITUTIONAL  SHAREHOLDERS SERVICES INC. and GLASS LEWIS & CO.
have advised Computer Horizons shareholders to reject the deal.

Computer  Horizons  in  April  said it  would  acquire  Analysts  International,
offering  1.5 shares of its stock for each  share in the  target.  The  company,
which  would be called  International  Horizons  Group  Inc.,  would have annual
revenues of about $600 million.



                  CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING PARTICIPANTS

On  August  11,  2005,   The  Computer   Horizons  Full  Value   Committee  (the

Exchange  Commission  ("SEC")  to be used to  solicit  votes  against a proposed

International  Corporation to be submitted to a vote of the  shareholders of the
Company at a special meeting of  shareholders  scheduled to be held on September
2,  2005  (the  "Merger  Special  Meeting").  The  Committee  has  also  made  a
preliminary filing with the SEC of a proxy statement and accompanying proxy card
to be used to solicit votes to remove and replace the Company's  existing  Board
of Directors at a special meeting of  shareholders  called for such purpose (the
"Directors Special Meeting").
