	<richtext>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Team JAS and AlphaStaff Announce HR &lt;br /&gt;Outsourcing and Co-Employment Partnership&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p class="bodytext"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jacksonville, FL, October 10, 2003&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;ndash; Team JAS, an aircraft parts supplier, and AlphaStaff Group, Inc., a Business Process Outsourcer (&amp;ldquo;BPO&amp;rdquo;) in the Human Resource (&amp;ldquo;HR&amp;rdquo;) field, today announced that the two companies have entered an HR Outsourcing and Co-Employment Partnership. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="bodytext"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Through the relationship, AlphaStaff will provide all aspects of HR services, loss control, payroll, tax filings, training, labor liability management and technology to Team JAS&amp;rsquo;s employees. &amp;ldquo;Over the years, we have been in several professional employer relationships with several companies, but those companies were not able to provide us with a level of service that we would expect and which we ourselves deliver in our business,&amp;rdquo; said Andrew Sanfilippo, President of Team JAS. &amp;ldquo;After careful study, including an analysis of several other competitors, it became apparent that AlphaStaff&amp;rsquo;s products and service philosophy and the efficiencies and savings they are able to deliver will best allow us to outsource this essential aspect of our business.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Team JAS chose AlphaStaff as their outsource solution on the basis of our overall flexibility to fit their business. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="bodytext"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;They felt we could deliver a much higher level of service,&amp;rdquo; said David McDonie, Regional Sales Manager for AlphaStaff. &amp;ldquo;The focus here was on who would be the best long-term partner, and that is where AlphaStaff excels.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="bodytext"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;ldquo;AlphaStaff prides itself on its industry-leading customer service level and customer retention,&amp;rdquo; said Jay Starkman, President of AlphaStaff. &amp;ldquo;When clients are looking to truly outsource HR functions and find a company to partner with for the long term, we consistently shine.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;This is especially true with leaders like Dave McDonie,&amp;rdquo; continued Mr. Starkman. &amp;ldquo;Not only is Dave one of our leading salespeople, but he believes so much in what we do that he has himself invested a substantial amount of his own personal money into AlphaStaff. What more can you say about our employees&amp;rsquo; dedication to what we do?&amp;rdquo; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
