COMPUTER HORIZONS' SUBSIDIARY, RGII TECHNOLOGIES, INC.,
ACQUIRES FEDERAL IT SOLUTIONS COMPANY

—CHC Bolsters Position in Growing Federal Government IT Services Marketplace With Bolt-on Acquisition of Automated Information Management, Inc.; Expects AIM to be Immediately Accretive to Earnings—

Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, April 1, 2004—Computer Horizons Corp. ("CHC") (Nasdaq: CHRZ), a strategic solutions and professional services company, announced today that it's subsidiary RGII Technologies, Inc. has acquired all of the common stock of privately-held Automated Information Management, Inc. ("AIM"). The cash transaction is valued at approximately $13.7 million plus an estimated adjustment to purchase price for excess working capital of approximately $2.0 million. The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to CHC's earnings.

        Headquartered in Lanham, Maryland, AIM is a provider of information technology, engineering and logistics support solutions to the Federal government. Founded in 1983, AIM offers services and solutions in areas such as: mission-critical systems, network infrastructure, enterprise management, information resource management, help desk support, program management, engineering and logistics services. AIM has approximately 225 billable employees at its headquarters, as well as at customer sites both in the continental U.S. and abroad.

        For calendar 2003, AIM revenues were $18.5 million, recording significant top and bottom line growth over the last several years and margins consistent with CHC's existing government practice. The firm has contracts with numerous Federal agencies, including longstanding contracts with the Department of Labor (primarily servicing the Occupational Safety and Health Administration [OSHA]), the Department of Defense (primarily servicing the U.S. Army) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the Department of Transportation. AIM is the prime contractor on more than 80 percent of its contracts and has a contract backlog of approximately $100 million. AIM brings a successful track record to CHC, with long and solid customer relationships. AIM's CEO and owner, Cynthia Hardy, will assist with transitional matters as operational responsibility is shifted to Kathryn B. Freeland, CEO of RGII Technologies, Inc.

        William J. Murphy, president and chief executive officer of Computer Horizons, said, "We are extremely pleased to welcome AIM and its employees to the CHC family, and we are committed to driving the growth potential that we know exists in the Federal government market. AIM fits CHC's acquisition criteria perfectly, and falls in line with our previously stated strategy of expanding our presence in the Federal government IT market and making a bolt-on acquisition to our RGII subsidiary. We expect continued strong top-line growth from the combined entity, which will provide for immediate, accretive contribution to our bottom line. We are very optimistic that the consolidation of AIM with RGII will be seamless and believe the future of the Federal IT market remains promising," added Murphy.

        "We are delighted that AIM has agreed to join us and I believe the addition of AIM will enhance RGII's operations. AIM has many of the same core competencies as RGII and a complementary customer roster," said Kathryn Freeland, CEO of RGII Technologies, Inc. "The acquisition of AIM will expand RGII's footprint, providing an entrance into government agencies where we do not currently have a presence, as well as a strong relationship with large, prime contractors."
