Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) was $267,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $495,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Commenting on the Company's performance, Salvatore J.

We are pleased with the progress we made in improving our contract staffing margins, especially in our Professional segment. As we move forward, we expect to grow our top-line revenues to adequately leverage our selling, general and administrative expenses while actively evaluating potential acquisitions.”

Forward-Looking Statements
The statements made in this press release which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements often contain or are prefaced by words such as “will” and “expect.” As a result of a number of factors, our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, those factors set forth under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, and in our other filings with the SEC. General Employment is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) and does not intend to update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide additional meaningful information regarding the Company’s performance. The non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all Companies use identical calculations, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this financial results release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP is provided.
