I will now turn the call over to Jack for a review of our second quarter 2014 results.

Thanks Jenny. Good morning everyone. Revenues for the second quarter of 2014 totaled $27.7 million or approximately 6% higher than second quarter 2013 revenues. While activity levels were in-line with last quarter our new assignment hit rate was below first quarter 2014’s performance. Additionally we had an unscheduled project termination on a significant integrator assignment that impacted our revenues and global consultant base during the quarter. For the first six months of 2014 our revenue growth on a year-over-year basis approximated 12% which is in-line with our previously stated objective of growing revenues at 1.5 times our industry growth rate. However as most of you know that consultant based decline in Q2 will certainly have some impact on next quarter’s revenue performance. Growth profits for second quarter of 2014 totaled $5.1 million or 18.5% of revenues compared to $5 million or 19% of revenues during the same period last year. Our growth profit expansion reflected an increase in global consultants on assignment in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the corresponding 2013 period partially offset by a slightly lower average bill-rate in the 2014 quarter. Our gross margin percentage was 50 basis points lower than last year’s performance as our business mix continues to shift towards our lower margin wholesale channel. Additionally, we had an increase in consultant compensation of existing projects during the quarter that outplaced bill-rate increases. SG&A expenses were $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $3.8 million in the second quarter a year earlier. SG&A expenses represented 13.3% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2014 compared to 14.4% of revenues in the corresponding quarter of 2013. Net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2014 was $893,000 or $0.20 per diluted share compared to $765,000 or $0.18 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2013. Addressing our financial position at June 30, 2014 we had no outstanding debt, cash balances on hand at $1.2 million and approximately $16 million of borrowing capacity under our existing credit facility. During the quarter our day sales outstanding measurement improved by six days from last quarter and now stands at 50 days which is back in-line with our historical averages. And lastly in early July we expanded and extended for another three years our credit facility with PNC Bank. This new facility will continue to provide us with the financial flexibility to capitalize on future market opportunities. I will now turn the call over to Kevin for his comments.

Thank you Jack. Good morning. Our second quarter performance did not meet my expectations both operationally and financially and was disappointing when compared to our historical performance trend lines. There were four primary areas of concern for me during the quarter. Number one, our hit rate of assignment win-to-activity levels. This metrics fell for the first time in well over a year. Part of our issue here was that we dedicated considerable recruitment resources to several large project opportunities that we didn’t end up winning. The decision to execute this strategy took recruiting horsepower away from the bounds of our organization and frankly our new assignment performance suffered as a result. This resource allocation (indiscernible) illustrates a pressing need to accelerate the scale of our recruitment organization which we’re aggressively addressing right now. Number two, early project terminations, we have substantial integrator project that terminated about eight months earlier than previously expected. This resulted in the loss of 30 consultants on billing during the quarter accounting for our entire consultant net growth decline. Well this is a frustrating event for us, unfortunately it's an inherent risk in our industry and there isn't really a silver bullet to ensure that surprises like these do not happen from time to time. Number three, a longer ramp time related to our new business development efforts. I have been underwhelmed by our performance to-date with respect to new business development. Last quarter I mentioned the tangible results from those initiatives for taking longer than I had hoped. In late second quarter we had to make some personnel changes to address the situation. My expectation is that we will see improvement in the second half of the year with respect to new business development. Number four, gross margins, as we have stated several times in…

(Operator Instructions). Thank you. Our first question comes from the line of Michael Conti with Sidoti. Please proceed with your question. Michael Conti – Sidoti: I just had two quick questions on the gross -- with the loss of project. Can you elaborate what went wrong on the project termination and how much revenue was lost?

I wouldn’t say anything went wrong. One of our integrator clients and their end [ph] client had to agree to terminate project much earlier than was originally planned in terms of the duration of those 30 plus consultants that were on project. Michael Conti – Sidoti: Okay and then with the 30 consultants, did it have an impact on gross margin with the increase in bench costs?

Not a whole lot. Just a bit. But it did have an impact on revenue obviously and for the full year if the project would have terminated as we originally expected the delta on revenue was in the course of the year at 3.5 million or there about. So it hurt. Michael Conti – Sidoti: And I guess can you, I mean who are your top 10% of revenue generators for the quarter?

In Q2 we had two clients that represented over 10%. Accenture, they were already at 11% and CGI was just over 10%, 10.1%. Michael Conti – Sidoti: Okay because it sounds CGI, I mean that would be considered a new client of over 10%. Can you --

Yes they actually busted through the 10% barrier. They have been a client with us for quite some time but first time over 10%. Michael Conti – Sidoti: Okay can you elaborate whether or not that’s -- did you see a significant ramp over the course of the past nine months or is that more or else like a sustainable. I guess is that more sustainable stream of revenue going forward because last quarter you had KPMG and that seems to have fallen off.

We have been building that CGI relationship in that business, frankly speaking since Q2 of 2012.

Yes. They have been probably the last four quarters, they have been in the 7% to 9% range.

And been one of our best growth clients over the last 3 to 4 quarters. Michael Conti – Sidoti: Okay and then lastly can you just give us an update on your internal initiative to train fresh grads within the (indiscernible) sales force space. I think we spoke briefly about that before.

Yes. We actually put that initiative on hold until the third quarter given the second quarter revenue issues we had and focused all of the organization on recovering the lost project revenue and at the same time holding of SG&A expense.

(Operator Instructions). Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Dave Polonitza with AB Value Management. Please proceed with your question. Dave Polonitza – AB Value Management: Ken, can you elaborate a little more on the demand side of your business. You had the one project termination but you said July is recovering nicely. Just trying to figure out how to balance it between the supply and demand where -- you obviously try to work on your recruiting on the supply side but has the demand worked?

Thanks David. It's a really good question, hopefully we will try to address it subtly but let me do it really directly. The demand side of our business still looks really solid and in fact so far through Q3 we are probably hitting the demand side activity levels which are frankly at high points for the year. So, demand is still very, very solid. Demand through the second quarter was solid and as Jack said and I try to explain a little further we actually went after a couple of large scale projects with a couple of our integrator clients that -- we didn’t win those and we spent the bunch of recruiting efforts that we didn’t direct at our kind of standard day in and day out demand and so part of our rationale right now and part of that’s focused on ramping up the recruiting organization and the fact that we grew the recruiting organization on a net basis by 14 people in the quarter in Q2 is to be able to position ourselves to do both, to continue to work our existing demand that’s really solid and to be able to actually take on larger skilled project work and not impact the standard day in and day out business. Dave Polonitza – AB Value Management: Just one or two follow-ups, so you added a net 14 people recruiting wise, what’s the ballpark number that -- how many people do you have right now?

So it's a very low three digit number. But we’re now over a 100 recruiters. Dave Polonitza – AB Value Management: And also any updates on your acquisition initiatives or is that just continuing forward as it was [ph] before?

I will let Jack weigh in as well. We actually had a fairly active quarter with our buy side advisory group in examining several businesses. We haven't brought anything to our Board yet from a proposal perspective but there is several things that we have -- several pieces of business that we have spoken with in the quarter that we really like. Jack would you add anything to that?

We’re window shopping right now but we like some of the things that we see. Dave Polonitza – AB Value Management: And just one other final thing for Jack. Do you have the wholesale revenue number for the quarter?

The wholesale revenue number?

Yes sure. I do have, give me a sec. 21.6 million, retail was 6 million and we had close to 100,000 in bond [ph].

Our next question comes from the line of (indiscernible).

The large project that you didn’t win, why did you lose?

Tom we’re actually working with our clients on both of those efforts to better understand why we didn’t win. I think at this point the early indication would be a combination of price and skills.

(Operator Instructions). Thank you. Our next question is a follow-up question from Michael Conti with Sidoti. Please proceed with your question. Michael Conti – Sidoti: Yes just a quick follow-up, can you talk about any pricing pressure you may have faced in the quarter and your outlook on the competitive landscape for the second half of the year?

Yes the market is a bit funny right now Michael. A couple of our very large clients are pushing hard on price and that’s both direct clients and integrator clients and then in the same breadth we’re finding pressure in the market on the wage side given the tightness of talent and I think it's a function of the entire economy, that the economy is growing still in fits and starts. The IT portion of the economy is growing at a much more rapid rate than the rest of the business and a couple of our clients -- were actually under some pressure in the quarter and pushed fairly hard on us and at the same time as we thought we had some wage pressure from the longer standing consultants who actually needed and it was fair that they needed wage increases. So we think we did as a good job as we could in balancing those things but in some respect I think the client base is beginning to recognize that the talent is getting tighter and we may be forced to actually market the talent to other places if we can’t get the talent priced appropriately in the existing customers.

Mr. Horner it appears we have no further questions at this time. I would now like to turn the floor back over to you for additional or closing comments.

No further comments on my end. I would like to thank everybody for attending the call today and we do look forward to sharing our third quarter 2014 results with you in late October. Thanks very much all.

Ladies and gentlemen this does conclude today’s teleconference. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation and have a wonderful day.
