For the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2008, earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, was negative $1.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, as compared to positive EBITDA of $6.4 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period. EBITDA for the 2008 period includes the bad debt charge as discussed above. EBITDA for the 2007 period includes income of $800,000 from a legal settlement.

The Company announced revenues of $55.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2008, down from $56.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2007 (comparable prior year period). Net income for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2008 was $1.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $1.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.

Net income before equity-based compensation ⁽¹⁾ for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2007 was $1.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, and excludes net stock-based compensation credit of $93,000.

For the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2008, earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, was $3.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, as compared to $3.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.

Leon Kopyt, Chairman and CEO of RCM, commented: “A nearly 300 basis point increase in gross margin percentage and an 8.5% increase in gross profit amount partially offset higher operating costs and moderately lower revenues in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to the same period a year ago. This improvement in gross margin percentage and gross profit amount were due in part to acquisitions of two enterprise business solutions companies completed in recent months. Both acquisitions have been principally integrated and are accretive to RCM’s earnings for the second quarter of 2008 and the 2008 year to date.

We believe the recent wave of enterprise vendor consolidation has created a partial dislocation of the technology market and an opportunity for RCM to offer innovative bundled solutions. These acquisitions are expected to contribute greater value-oriented solutions for the enterprise IT market.”

The Statements contained in this release that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, those relating to demand for the Company’s services, expected demand for our services and expectations regarding our revenues, the Company's ability to continue to utilize goodwill, to continue to increase gross margins, to achieve and manage growth, to develop and market new applications and services, risks relating to the acquisition and integration of acquired businesses, the ability of the Company to consummate acquisitions as to which it executes non-binding letters of intent, demand for new services and applications, timing of demand for services, industry strength and competition and general economic factors. Investors are directed to consider such risks, uncertainties and other factors described in documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

⁽¹⁾ The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment," on a modified prospective basis, which required the Company to record stock-based compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards outstanding as of the date of adoption.

For the purposes of performing the calculation of net income before equity-based compensation expense, all equity-based compensation expense, net of income tax, is added back to net income as calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP). Net income before equity-based compensation expense is not a measurement calculated in accordance with US GAAP, and is not intended to be a replacement for, or to be considered to be more important than, net income calculated in accordance with US GAAP. As the calculation of net income before equity-based compensation expense is not performed in accordance with US GAAP, the Company believes that the utility of the calculation is significantly limited, and that the measure should only be used to compare to net income year-over-year on a consistent basis. To mitigate this limitation, the Company has provided a reconciliation of net income before equity-based compensation expense to net income calculated in accordance with US GAAP, which should be the primary measurement utilized to analyze the Company's financial results. The Company does not utilize net income before equity-based compensation expense for any other purpose.

Reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Income and Cash Provided by Operating Activities

(Unaudited)

As used in this report, EBITDA means earnings before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA, as presented, represents a useful measure of assessing the performance of our operating activities, as it reflects our earnings trends without the impact of certain non-cash charges or income. EBITDA is also used by our creditors in assessing debt covenant compliance. We understand that, although security analysts frequently use EBITDA in the evaluation of companies, it is not necessarily comparable to EBITDA of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. EBITDA is not intended as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, nor as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance, nor as an alternative to any other measure of performance in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA to both net income and cash flow provided by operating activities.
