Aquent Urges Shareholders to Act Now to Hold Computer Horizons Board Accountable - Elect Two New Independent Board Members and Enhance Ability to Call Special Meetings

Boston, MA (April 30, 2003) – Aquent LLC, a privately held global professional services firm, today issued the following statement in response to Computer Horizons Corp.’s first quarter 2003 financial results.

Computer Horizons reported the following results, among others:

• Overall revenues for the quarter dropped 24% from the prior year’s comparable period and 10% sequentially;
• Revenues from IT Services, the Company’s staffing division, which is its largest business segment, dropped 34% from the prior year and 17% sequentially; and
• Revenues from Chimes are no longer growing -- they were flat sequentially.

John Chuang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aquent LLC, said, “We believe that today’s earnings announcement by Computer Horizons makes it clearer than ever that our $5.00 per share cash merger proposal offers value well beyond that which the Company can achieve on its own. We encourage the Computer Horizons Board to act now on Aquent’s premium cash merger proposal which will enable us to pay shareholders 100x Computer Horizons management's estimated 2003 forward earnings.”

Mr. Chuang added, “Aquent urges Computer Horizons shareholders to hold this Board accountable at the upcoming Annual Meeting on May 14 by electing Aquent’s two independent director nominees and enhancing shareholders’ ability to call special meetings. We believe that failing to do so at this time would permit this Board and management team to entrench themselves at the expense of all shareholders.”

Aquent also confirmed that it received a written request from Computer Horizons for information about its sources of financing. The letter did not express any position on the merits of Aquent’s premium cash merger proposal or agree to a meeting with Aquent. Aquent has responded to Computer Horizons reiterating the request made in its April 14 proposal letter which is to meet with representatives from Computer Horizons’ Board at its earliest convenience. At any such meeting, Aquent will discuss in greater detail its sources of financing.
