NEARTERM AND THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

We are all individually impacted by the global economic turbulence surrounding us. Credit has tightened, prices are higher and overall market confidence is diminished.

However, we thought you might appreciate some perspective about how Nearterm is doing. The short answer is we are doing great! Our revenues are strong, operating cost is under control, turnover is low and we continue to grow, even in the face of these challenging economic times. That has been our story since 1990 and our success continues. In fact, 2008 will be our best year since inception. The synergy we anticipated in our merger and ESOP strategy has materialized and is visible in our financial performance.

The truth is, we are successful because we are good at what we do. If you are already a Nearterm employee/owner or an existing Nearterm client, you know why we are so successful. If you are not, we urge you to talk with us.

NEARTERM DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN A SUCCESS

September 17, 2008

Hurricane Ike brought widespread damage and utility outages to the gulf coast area. Our building in Houston was without power for several days but the Nearterm office based team implemented our recovery plan as soon as it was safe. Data and communications were established through remote assets even before power was turned back on. We suffered no real property loss.

Our disaster plan is built on the understanding that our clients, business partners, professional staff and friends are located all over the country. All expect us to be there when needed, regardless of the surrounding circumstances in our immediate area. Ike was a good test and we are proud to say that we did not miss a step.

We commend all who worked so hard to accomplish this speedy recovery and we thank all who might have endured the minor business inconveniences that are inevitable when disaster strikes.

March 26, 2008

The Houston Area Association of Personnel Consultants (HAAPC) is a professional trade organization supporting the search and staffing industry. At this year’s awards banquet, held on March 28, 2008, the HAAPC recognized NearTerm as the 2007 Houston leader in contract/temporary services in the technical/professional division. Congratulations to the winning team - Gayle Tapps, Donna Wells and James O. Higgins, who have successfully achieved the number one position in Houston 4 years running. Another high five goes out to Elizabeth Thibodeaux for being recognized by HAAPC as “Rookie of the Year” for permanent placement cash in; this is a very competitive category and we are incredibly proud of Elizabeth’s accomplishment. Elizabeth and Tony Pedraza also received recognition for exceeding the $250,000 Cash-In mark in permanent placement revenues for 2007.

In other exciting news, NearTerm recently announced the acquisition of Excel Unlimited Inc., an executive search firm and Scott & Matthews, Inc, a revenue cycle consulting practice. NearTerm is now positioned to serve clients with expanded services. Give us a call and let us see how we may help you.

NearTerm is also proud to announce that it is now an employee owned company. We adopted an ESOP (Employee Stock Option Plan) in March. What an exciting start for 2008!
