Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by MPS Group, Inc. (“MPS”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures usually found in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full fiscal year.

Short Term Investments

At March 31, 2007, our short term investments were comprised of auction rate securities. We classify these investments as available-for-sale securities and in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, we record these securities at fair value in Current Assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, we report changes in the fair value of these securities, if any, as unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, as a separate component of other comprehensive income until realized.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principals, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather clarifies the application of other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157, but management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This standard permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and is effective for the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159, but management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

2. Income Taxes

We adopted FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on recognition, classification, and disclosure of tax positions. Upon adoption of FIN 48, we reduced our reserve for uncertain tax positions by $1.2 million and recorded this reduction as an adjustment to

6

MPS Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

(dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

the opening balance of Retained earnings on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At January 1, 2007, our unrecognized tax benefits – that is, the aggregate tax effect of differences between tax return positions and the benefits recognized in our financial statements – were $10.5 million. If recognized, $6.9 million of our unrecognized tax benefits would impact our Provision for income taxes on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and thus our effective tax rate.

We classify interest on uncertain tax positions as interest expense, and we classify income tax penalties as a component of income tax expense. Prior to the adoption of FIN 48, both interest and penalties were accrued as a component of income tax expense. At January 1, 2007, before any tax benefits, our accrued interest on unrecognized tax benefits was $6.2 million and related accrued penalties were $130,000. In the first quarter of 2007, we accrued approximately $300,000 of additional interest. Accrued interest is in Accounts payable and accrued expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2007.

We are subject to periodic review by federal, foreign, state and local taxing authorities in the ordinary course of business. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to examination by these taxing authorities for years prior to 2002. In terms of the Internal Revenue Service, we have no outstanding income tax audits as of March 31, 2007, and our federal income tax returns have been audited or surveyed by them through 2002. Many of our UK subsidiaries have been audited through 2003. HM Revenue and Customs began an income tax audit of our UK subsidiaries for 2004. Lastly, we generally have several state income tax audits throughout the year since we operate in a multi-state environment. Specifically, we are undergoing a state income tax audit for the tax years 1998 through 2000. We estimate that our uncertain tax benefits could change by approximately $3.3 million as a result of the settlement of this audit within the next 12 months.

3. Net Income per Common Share

The calculation of basic net income per common share and diluted net income per common share is presented below:

	Three Months Ended
(dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)	March 31, 2007		March 31, 2006
Basic income per common share computation:
Net income	$	17,480	$	16,010
Basic average common shares outstanding		100,391		101,722
Incremental shares from assumed exercise of stock options and restricted stock awards		2,434		3,042
Diluted average common shares outstanding		102,825		104,764
Basic net income per common share	$	0.17	$	0.16
Diluted net income per common share	$	0.17	$	0.15

Options to purchase approximately 113,000 and 164,000 shares of common stock that were outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of the common shares for the respective periods.

4. Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to a number of lawsuits and claims arising out of the ordinary conduct of our business. In the opinion of management, based on the advice of in-house and external legal counsel, the lawsuits and claims pending are not likely to have a material adverse effect on us, our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

5. Segment Reporting

We disclose segment information in accordance with SFAS 131, Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, which requires companies to report selected segment information on a quarterly basis and to report certain entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the material countries in which the entity holds assets and reports revenues.

We have four reportable segments: North American Professional Services, European Professional Services, North American Information Technology (“IT”) Services, and European IT Services. Our reportable segments offer different services, have different client bases, experience differing economic characteristics, and are managed separately as each requires different resources and marketing strategies. The North American Professional Services segment provides specialized staffing and recruiting in the disciplines of accounting, finance, law, engineering and healthcare in North America. The European Professional Services segment provides specialized staffing and recruiting for accounting and finance, legal, human resources, and marketing positions in Europe, principally in the United Kingdom. The North American IT Services segment offers value-added solutions such as IT project support and staffing, recruitment of full-time positions, project-based solutions, workforce solutions, on-site recruiting support, IT strategy consulting, design and branding, application development, and integration in North America. The European IT Services segment provides value-added solutions such as IT project support and staffing, and recruitment of full-time positions, specialized staffing and solutions in Europe, principally in the United Kingdom.

Our segments’ results include the results from acquisitions named in Footnote 3 to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, along with the results from acquisitions named in Footnote 7. We evaluate segment performance based on revenues, gross profit, and income before provision for income taxes. We do not allocate income taxes, interest or unusual items to the segments. In addition, we do not report total assets by segment.

The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Footnote 2 to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and all intersegment sales and transfers are eliminated.

No one customer represents more than 5% of our overall revenue. Therefore, we do not believe we have a material reliance on any one customer as we provide services to numerous Fortune 1000 and other leading businesses.

Identifiable intangible assets relate primarily to the value of the acquired business’ customer relationships and trade names at the acquisition date.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

References to “we”, “our”, “us”, or “MPS” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to MPS Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks, uncertainties or assumptions and may be affected by certain factors, including but not limited to the specific factors discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 in Part I, Item 1A under ‘Risk Factors,’ in Part II, Item 5 under ‘Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities’, and Part II, Item 7 under ‘Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.’ In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as ‘may,’ ‘should,’ ‘could,’ ‘expects,’ ‘plans,’ ‘indicates,’ ‘projects,’ ‘anticipates,’ ‘believes,’ ‘estimates,’ ‘appears,’ ‘predicts,’ ‘potential,’ ‘continues,’ ‘can,’ ‘hopes,’ ‘perhaps,’ ‘would,’ or ‘become,’ or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. In addition, except for historical facts, all information provided in Part II, Item 7A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, under ‘Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk’ as referenced by Item 3 herein should be considered forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks, uncertainties or other factors materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements of MPS may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on beliefs and assumptions of our management and on information currently available to such management. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and MPS undertakes no obligation to publicly update any of them in light of new information or future events. Undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance.

Executive Summary

We are a leading provider of business services with over 210 offices throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and continental Europe. We deliver specialty staffing, consulting and business solutions to virtually all industries in the following disciplines, through the following primary brands:

Discipline	Brand(s)
Information Technology (IT) Services	Modis®
Accounting and Finance	Badenoch & Clark® , Accounting Principals®
Engineering	Entegee®
Legal	Special Counsel®
IT Solutions	Idea Integration®
Healthcare	Soliant Health®
Work Force Solutions	Beeline®

We present the financial results of the above brands under our four reporting segments: North American Professional Services, European Professional Services, North American IT Services and European IT Services. The accounting policies of these segments are consistent with those described in Part II, Item 7 under ‘Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations’ to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, our consolidated revenue increased 16% and our consolidated operating income increased 10% compared to the first quarter of the prior year. Revenue grew across all four of

12

our segments compared to the first quarter of 2006. We believe this growth was attributable to the performance of our sales and recruiting staff, acquisitions, and favorable macroeconomic conditions in both the United States and abroad. For the second quarter of 2007, we continue to believe we will experience future revenue growth.

We target potential acquisitions that will either increase the geographic presence of our businesses or offer complementary service offerings. Our target acquisitions have generally ranged from $5 million to $25 million in annual revenue. During 2006 and through March 31, 2007, we acquired the following businesses herein defined as the North American Professional Acquisitions, the North American IT Acquisitions, the European Professional Acquisitions, and the European IT Acquisition:

Name/Description	Segment	Business	Year
Esquire Search	North American Professional	Legal Staffing	2007
Garelli Wong	North American Professional	Accounting and Finance Staffing	2006
Pharmacy Staffing Unit of Cardinal Health	North American Professional	Pharmacy Staffing	2006
The Paladin Companies	North American IT	Marketing Staffing and Solutions	2007
Integrated Performance Systems	North American IT	Workforce Solutions	2006
Chronos International	European Professional	European Permanent Placement	2006
Corinthe Holding BV	European Professional	European Staffing	2006
Netlogic	European IT	European IT Staffing	2006

We continue to believe that long-term opportunities for growth in the professional services market are more robust than in the IT services market, and as a result, continue to diversify our revenue base. Revenue from our Professional Services division represented 57% of consolidated revenue in the first three months of 2007, compared to 56% in the first three months of 2006.

We continue to look for opportunities to increase gross margin along with increasing operating leverage within each segment. We were able to increase our staffing gross margin 70 basis points to 27.4% in the first quarter of 2007 from 26.7% in the year earlier period. As we review gross margin trends for the three months ended March 31, 2007, gross margin has been aided by the percentage of revenue attributable to direct hire fees within each segment. Direct hire fees now represent 5.0% of revenue in the first quarter of 2007, up from 4.2% in the year earlier period. In addition, the staffing gross margins have been increasing in our North American Professional Services segment, North American IT segment and our European IT Services segment, while decreasing slightly in our European Professional Services segment.

The following detailed analysis of operations should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the 2006 Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

North American Professional Acquisitions contributed $6.5 million in revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was due primarily to revenue from internal growth and acquisitions, most notably in the segment’s Soliant Health and Entegee business units.

Revenue contribution from the North American Professional Services businesses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2007		2006

Gross margin in our North American Professional Services segment was 30.9% and 30.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in gross margin in the three months ended March 31, 2007 was due to a combination of improved margins from the segment’s staffing services and an increased level of direct hire fees. Direct hire fees, which generate a higher margin, increased to 6.4% of the segment’s revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2007, from 6.0% in the year earlier period.

G&A expenses in our North American Professional Services segment were $34.1 million and $30.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of 13.7%. As a percentage of revenue, G&A expenses were 20.9% and 20.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in G&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was due primarily to the increase in compensation expense related to the increases in the segment’s revenue and additional G&A expenses from the North American Professional Acquisitions.

Operating income was $15.0 million and $13.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of 12.8%. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 9.2% and 9.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

European Professional Services Segment

Revenue in our European Professional Services segment was $126.0 million and $97.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of 29.0%. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates increased revenue by $13.2 million from the three months ended March 31, 2006 to the three months ended March 31, 2007. European Professional Acquisitions contributed $10.1 million in revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2007. Apart from the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the execution of our acquisition strategy, the increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007, was due to the increased demand for our services.

Gross profit in our European Professional Services segment was $35.4 million and $27.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of 31.1%. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates increased gross profit by $3.7 million from the three months ended March 31, 2006 to the three months ended March 31, 2007, respectively. European Professional Acquisitions contributed $4.7 million in gross profit in the three months ended March 31, 2007. Gross margin in our European Professional Services segment was 28.1% and 27.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in gross margin was due to an increase in direct hire fees. This improvement in direct hire fees more than offset the reduction in gross margins from the segment’s staffing services. Direct hire fees increased to 8.7% of the segment’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007, from 7.0% in the year earlier period.

G&A expenses in our European Professional Services segment were $26.5 million and $19.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of 38.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a percentage of revenue, G&A expenses were 21.0% and 19.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in G&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007, was due primarily to our investment in additional sales and recruiting personnel and additional G&A expenses from the European Professional Acquisitions.

Operating income was $8.1 million and $7.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of 12.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2007. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 6.4% and 7.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

North American IT Acquisitions contributed $2.5 million in revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was due primarily to increased spending on IT initiatives by our clients and the utilization of our prior investments in additional sales and recruiting personnel.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We intend to generate stockholder value through strategic investments in our existing businesses, acquisitions, and stock repurchases, as appropriate. Changes to our liquidity have historically been due primarily to the net effect of: (i) funds generated by operations and proceeds from stock option exercises; and (ii) funds used for operations, acquisitions, repurchases of common stock and capital expenditures. While there can be no assurances in this regard, we believe that funds provided by operations and our current cash and short term investment balances will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated needs for working capital, capital expenditures, repurchases of common stock and acquisitions for at least the next 12 months.

In the three months ended March 31, 2007, cash of $68.4 million used in investing and financing activities exceeded the $10.7 million of cash provided from operating activities and the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our net decrease in cash in the three months ended March 31, 2007 was due primarily to our purchases of short term investments, acquisitions and repurchases of our common stock. In the three months ended March 31, 2006, cash of $20.6 million provided from operating activities, financing activities and the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates exceeded the $19.2 million used in investing activities. The table below highlights working capital, cash and cash equivalents and short term investments as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively:

(dollar amounts in millions)	March 31, 2007		December 31, 2006
Working capital	$	323.2	$	318.9
Cash and cash equivalents and short term investments	$	155.3	$	172.7

Operating cash flows

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we generated $10.4 million and $18.4 million of cash flow from operations, respectively. The decrease in cash flow from operations was due primarily to an increase in cash used to fund accounts receivable.

Investing cash flows

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we used $57.3 million of cash for investing activities, including $40.2 million for short term investments, net of proceeds, $13.4 million for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and $3.6 million for capital expenditures. At March 31, 2007, our short term investments were comprised of auction rate securities. We classify these investments as available-for-sale securities and in accordance with

17

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, we record these securities at fair value in Current Assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, we report changes in the fair value of these securities, if any, as unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, as a separate component of other comprehensive income until realized.

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we used $19.2 million of cash for investing activities, including $16.0 million for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and $3.2 million for capital expenditures.

We anticipate that capital expenditures for furniture and equipment, including improvements to our management information and operating systems, for the remainder of 2007 will be approximately $10.0 million.

Financing cash flows

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we used $11.1 million of cash for financing activities, consisting primarily of $10.7 million for the repurchase of common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we generated $1.5 million of cash from financing activities, primarily from $8.0 million of stock option exercises and $7.6 million of excess tax benefits from share-based awards, net of $6.5 million for the repurchase of common stock and $7.6 million for the settlement of share-based awards.

Our Board of Directors has authorized certain repurchases of our common stock. For the first quarter of 2007, we repurchased 746,000 shares at an aggregate cost of $10.7 million. As of April 27, 2007, we have repurchased a total of 12.7 million shares at a cost of $132.9 million under this plan. We anticipate that we will continue to purchase shares under this authorization in the future, to the extent we deem appropriate, as we have approximately $34.6 million remaining under this authorization as of April 27, 2007. There is no expiration date for this authorization.

Indebtedness of the Company

In the fourth quarter of 2006, we closed on a $250 million revolving credit facility which replaced an expiring $150 million facility. Our credit facility is syndicated to a group of leading financial institutions and contains certain financial and non-financial covenants relating to our operations, including maintaining certain financial ratios. Repayment of the credit facility is guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries. The facility expires in November 2011. To date, there have been no borrowings outstanding under this facility, other than $7.7 million of standby letters of credit for certain operational matters.

Seasonality

Our quarterly operating results are affected by the number of billing days in the quarter and the seasonality of our customers’ businesses. Demand for our services has historically been lower during the calendar year-end, as a result of holidays, through February of the following year, as our customers approve annual budgets. Extreme weather conditions may also adversely affect demand in the early part of the year as certain of our clients’ facilities are located in geographic areas subject to closure or reduced hours due to inclement weather. In addition, we experience an increase in our cost of sales and a corresponding decrease in gross profit and gross margin in the first fiscal quarter of each year, as a result of certain state and federal employment tax resets.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principals, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather clarifies the application of other accounting pronouncements that require

18

or permit fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157, but management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This standard permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and is effective for the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159, but management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

For information regarding our exposure to certain market risk, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2007. There were no material changes to our market risk for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Item 4. Controls And Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the supervision and participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
