	<richtext>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Holiday Isle Resort and Marina &lt;br /&gt;Renews Outsourcing Agreement with AlphaStaff&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p class="bodytext"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Boca Raton &amp;ndash; October 12, 2004 - &lt;/strong&gt;AlphaStaff, a market leader in Human Resource Outsourcing (HRO) today announced that it has renewed its multi-service contract with Holiday Isle Resort &amp;amp; Marina, the popular vacation spot in the Florida Keys and home of the &amp;ldquo;world-famous&amp;rdquo; Tiki Bar. The renewal enables AlphaStaff to continue upgrading risk management and safety programs for the hotel&amp;rsquo;s 275 employees. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="bodytext"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;AlphaStaff provides Holiday Isle with full-scale human resource management, including benefits administration, payroll, tax filing, loss control, HR training and technology integration. A key factor in the extension of the three-year relationship has been the success of the Workers&amp;rsquo; Compensation cost management programs and the implementation of safe workplace best practices. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="bodytext"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;quot;Since the inception of our partnership with AlphaStaff, the consistent levels of support along with proactive safety audits and recommendations made by AlphaStaff have been instrumental in helping maintain a safe workplace while controlling workers&amp;rsquo; compensation costs,&amp;rdquo; said Scott Simmons, general manager of Holiday Isle. &amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;ve realized an 87 percent reduction in claims with the help of AlphaStaff&amp;rsquo;s dedicated team. Its professionals pay attention, are truly interested, and sincerely want us to succeed and prosper.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="bodytext"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;In contrast with average costs ranging well over $210,000 dollars annually over the past three years, the first seven months of 2004 have seen only $2,256 dollars in Workers&amp;rsquo; Compensation claims. AlphaStaff is committed to improving &amp;ndash; even beyond these statistics &amp;ndash; the safety record of Holiday Isle, and has praised the employees of the resort for their increased awareness and compliance with recently imposed standards. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="bodytext"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;ldquo;By making monthly visits to review safety precautions at Holiday Isle, we have set the bar high for the staff, encouraging Holiday Isle to strive for a zero-accident record over the remaining months of 2004,&amp;rdquo; said Thomas Ivey, Vice President of Product Delivery, Risk and Insurance for AlphaStaff. &amp;ldquo;It is very gratifying that Holiday Isle elected to continue our outsourcing relationship. The ability to establish long-lasting and growing relationships with companies like Holiday Isle validates our passion and commitment to the service we provide clients.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</richtext>
