EXPLANATORY NOTE

     Merger

     On September 30, 2004, COMSYS IT Partners, Inc. (formerly Venturi Partners, Inc.) completed the merger of its wholly owned subsidiary, VTP, Inc., which we refer to as Merger Sub, with and into COMSYS Holding, Inc., which we refer to as COMSYS Holding. The merger was pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 19, 2004, as amended as of September 3, 2004, among us, Merger Sub, Venturi Technology Partners, LLC, COMSYS Information Technology Services, Inc., COMSYS Holding and certain stockholders of COMSYS Holding party thereto. In the merger, COMSYS Holding survived and continues as one of our wholly owned subsidiaries. At the effective time of the merger, we changed the name of our corporation from “Venturi Partners, Inc.” to “COMSYS IT Partners, Inc.”

     In the merger, COMSYS Holding stockholders received shares of our common stock in exchange for their shares of COMSYS Holding capital stock in accordance with the exchange ratios described in the Agreement and Plan of Merger. At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding option to acquire shares of COMSYS Holding common stock under the COMSYS Holding 1999 Stock Option Plan immediately prior to the effective time of the merger remained outstanding and became exercisable for shares of our common stock at the rate of 0.0001 of a share for each share of COMSYS Holding common stock.

     2004 Stock Incentive Plan

     In connection with the merger, our board of directors adopted the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, which was approved by our stockholders on September 27, 2004 and became effective as of the effective time of the merger. Under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, 1,159,669 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance to our officers, employees, directors and consultants, as well as the officers, employees, directors and consultants of our subsidiaries. As of November 8, 2004, options to purchase 396,000 shares of our common stock were outstanding under our 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, and 763,669 shares of our common stock remain authorized for issuance and are reserved for future grants under our 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.

     2003 Equity Incentive Plan

     Our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by our stockholders on July 24, 2003 and replaced our 1995 Stock Option Plan. Our 1995 Stock Option Plan was terminated in connection with our financial restructuring in 2003, and most of our employees and directors forfeited their options issued under that plan. As of November 8, 2004, options to purchase 9,662 shares of our common stock were outstanding under the 1995 Stock Option Plan. The weighted average exercise price of these options is $229.82.

     Under our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, options to purchase 610,400 shares of our common stock were granted to our top five executive officers, and options for an aggregate of 165,700 additional shares have been granted to other employees or directors. As of November 8, 2004, 18,735 shares of our common stock remain authorized for issuance and reserved for future grants under our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan.

     We are filing this Form S-8 to register up to 1,159,669 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under our 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and up to 794,835 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Delaware Law

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, also referred to herein as the DGCL, permits a corporation, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third parties by reason of the fact that they were or are directors, officers, employees or agents of the corporation, if such directors, officers, employees or agents acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors, officers, employees or agents in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit, and only with respect to a matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that the defendant directors, officers, employees or agents are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.

     Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director shall be personally liable to us or any of our stockholders for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, except to the extent such limitation on or exemption from liability is not permitted under the DGCL. The effect of this provision of our certificate of incorporation is to eliminate our rights and those of our stockholders (through stockholders’ derivative suits on our behalf) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director, including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior, except, as restricted by the DGCL:

• for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the company or its stockholders,

• for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,

• in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases, and

• for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

     This provision does not limit or eliminate our rights or the rights of any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care.

     If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the liability of directors, then, in accordance with our certificate of incorporation, the liability of our directors to us or our stockholders will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or amendment of provisions of our certificate of incorporation limiting or eliminating the liability of directors, whether by our stockholders or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits us to further limit or eliminate the liability of directors on a retroactive basis.

     Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

     Our certificate of incorporation provides that we will, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, indemnify our current and former directors and officers, as well as those persons who, while directors or officers of our corporation, are or were serving as directors, officers, employees or agents of another entity, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, against all

5

expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by any such person in connection with any such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person eligible for indemnification pursuant to our certificate of incorporation will be indemnified by us in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by our board of directors, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification.

     The right to indemnification conferred by our certificate of incorporation is a contract right that includes the right to be paid by us the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding referenced above in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by our officer or director (solely in the capacity as an officer or director of our corporation) will be made only upon delivery to us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such officer or director, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under our certificate of incorporation or otherwise.

     The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses will not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which any person covered by our certificate of incorporation may have or hereafter acquire under law, our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

     Any repeal or amendment of provisions of our certificate of incorporation affecting indemnification rights, whether by our stockholders or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits us to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis, and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision. Our certificate of incorporation also permits us, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other that those specifically covered by our certificate of incorporation.

     Our bylaws include the provisions relating to advancement of expenses and indemnification rights consistent with those set forth in our certificate of incorporation. In addition, our bylaws provide for a right of indemnitee to bring a suit in the event a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses is not paid in full by us within a specified period of time. Our bylaws also permit us to purchase and maintain insurance, at our expense, to protect us and/or any director, officer, employee or agent of our corporation or another entity, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

     Any repeal or amendment of provisions of our bylaws affecting indemnification rights, whether by our board of directors, stockholders or by changes in applicable law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits us to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis, and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing thereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

     Indemnification Agreements

     We have entered into indemnification agreements with our Group A directors under which we have agreed to indemnify such directors for any damages, judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and costs, attorneys’ fees and any other expenses of establishing a right to indemnification under such indemnification agreements in connection with any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding in which such directors were involved as parties or otherwise by reason of the fact that they are or were directors of our corporation, or served at our request as directors, trustees, officers, employees or agents of another entity, trust or enterprise, provided that (i) such directors acted in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed in or not opposed to the best interest of our corporation, and (ii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, in addition had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful. Under these indemnification agreements, we are obligated to advance expenses to our Group A directors (except the amount of any settlement), subject to our receipt

6

of the requisite undertaking by such directors to repay such advances, if it is ultimately determined that such expenses were not reasonable or that such directors are not entitled to indemnification.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are not obligated to indemnify any of our Group A directors in connection with any claim made against such director: (i) to the extent that payment is actually made to such director under a valid, enforceable and collectible insurance policy; (ii) to the extent that such director is indemnified and actually paid otherwise than pursuant to the indemnification agreement; (iii) in connection with a judicial action by or in the right of our corporation, in respect of any claim as to which such director is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to us, unless there is a court determination to the contrary; (iv) if it is proved by final adjudication to have been based upon or attributable to such director’s gain of any personal profit or advantage to which he was not legally entitled; (v) for a disgorgement of profits made from the purchase and sale by such director of securities pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to as the Exchange Act, or similar provisions of any state statutory law or common law; (vi) for certain acts of active and deliberate dishonesty; and (vii) when indemnification is prohibited by applicable law.

     In addition, COMSYS Holding, our subsidiary, is a party to indemnification agreements with certain of our executive officers, including Michael T. Willis, who also serves as our Group B director. Pursuant to such indemnification agreements, COMSYS Holding is obligated to indemnify each such officer to the fullest extent permitted by our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended or replaced (but only to the extent that such change authorizes broader indemnification rights than were permitted prior thereto). COMSYS Holding will indemnify each such indemnitee against any and all expenses or losses in the event any such indemnitee was, is or becomes party to, or was or is threatened to be made party to, or was or is otherwise involved in, any proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by virtue of his or her status as director, officer, employee, partner, member, manager, trustee, fiduciary or agent of our corporation or another entity, trust or enterprise (when holding such corporate status at COMSYS Holding’s request). COMSYS Holding also agreed to indemnify such indemnitee against any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under the indemnification agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification obligations arise (i) in the event a proceeding was initiated or brought voluntarily by such indemnitee against COMSYS Holding or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees and the board of directors has not authorized or consented to the initiation of such proceeding, or (ii) for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale by such indemnitee of COMSYS Holding securities within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or any similar successor statute.

     COMSYS Holding also agreed to indemnify any indemnitee who, by reason of his or her corporate status described in the immediately preceding paragraph, is a witness in any proceeding to which such person is not a party, against all expenses actually and reasonably paid or incurred by such indemnitee in connection therewith. COMSYS Holding is also obligated to advance any expenses (except the amount of any settlement) actually and reasonably paid or incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any proceeding (except those proceedings initiated by such indemnitee which are not authorized by the board of directors) to the fullest extent permitted by law upon delivery of the requisite undertaking to repay such advances, if it is ultimately adjudicated that such person is not entitled to indemnification.

     Merger Agreement

     The Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 19, 2004, as amended, referred to as the merger agreement, provides for the continuation, after the merger, of all rights to indemnification by COMSYS Holding or any of its subsidiaries in favor of any person or entity who is, has been, or becomes prior to the effective time of the merger an officer, director or employee of COMSYS Holding or any of its subsidiaries, any person who acts as a fiduciary under any employee benefit plan of COMSYS Holding or its subsidiaries, and any other person whom COMSYS Holding has designated in its certificate of incorporation as being entitled to indemnification rights. We will be responsible for paying and performing such indemnification obligations.

     The merger agreement provides that for six years after the merger, we will indemnify and defend the indemnified parties referenced above and hold them harmless against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments and fines arising in whole or in part out of actions or omissions in these capacities that

7

occurred at or prior to the merger. We will also reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses they reasonably incur in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments and fines as the expenses are incurred.

     In addition, for a period of six years following the merger, we will maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of our present and former officers and directors with respect to claims arising from actions or omissions occurring before the merger. This insurance must contain at least the same coverage and amounts, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous, as the coverage currently provided to these individuals, subject to the limitation that we will not be required to spend an amount in any year that is more than 300% of the aggregate annual premiums we currently pay for this insurance.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

     Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

     See Index to Exhibits, attached hereto.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)	To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)	To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)	To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(g) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference to the registration statement; and

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

8

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
