NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2012 AND 2011

(Unaudited)

1.	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation:

References in this Quarterly Report on 10-Q to “we”, “our”, “Mastech” or “the Company” refer collectively to Mastech Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, which are included in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Description of Business

We are a provider of IT and specialized healthcare staffing services. Our IT staffing business combines technical expertise with business process experience to deliver a broad range of services within business intelligence / data warehousing; web services; enterprise resource planning & customer resource management; and eBusiness solutions. We work with businesses and institutions with significant IT spending and recurring staffing needs. We also support smaller organizations with their “project focused” temporary IT staffing requirements. Our services span a broad range of industry verticals including: automotive; banking; consumer products; education; financial services; government; healthcare; manufacturing; retail; technology; telecommunications; transportation; and utilities. Our healthcare staffing business provides specialized healthcare professionals, including surgical nurses, therapists and physicians, to hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 23, 2012. Additionally, our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012 or for any other period.

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company utilizes the equity method of accounting, as prescribed by The Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 323 “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”, when it is able to exercise significant management influence over the entity’s operations, which generally occurs when Mastech has an ownership interest of between 20% and 50% in an entity. For investments in which the Company does not exercise significant management influence, generally when Mastech has an ownership interest of less than 20%, the Company utilizes the cost method of accounting.

Segment Reporting

The Company, which aggregates its IT and healthcare operating segments based on the nature of services, has one reportable segment in accordance with ASC Topic 280 “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”.

2.	Goodwill

As of March 31, 2012, the Company has $405,000 of goodwill recorded on its balance sheet related to the January 2, 2010 acquisition of Curastat, Inc. There was no activity in our goodwill account during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011.

3.	Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, trade name and non-compete covenants related to the acquisition of Curastat, Inc. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 2 to 5 years. Intangible assets were comprised of the following as of March 31, 2012:


	As of March 31, 2012
(in thousands)	Gross Carrying Value		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Value
Customer relationships	$	60	$	27	$	33
Trade name		50		37		13
Non-compete covenants		40		40		—

Total intangible assets	$	150	$	104	$	46

Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $7,000 and $10,000 respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

4.	Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments

The Company rents certain office space and equipment under non-cancelable leases which provides for future minimum rental payments. Total lease commitments have not materially changed from the amounts disclosed in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of our business, the Company is involved in a number of lawsuits and administrative proceedings. While uncertainties are inherent in the final outcome of these matters, the Company’s management believes, after consultation with legal counsel, that the disposition of these proceedings should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

5.	Employee Benefit Plan

The Company provides an Employee Retirement Savings Plan (the “Retirement Plan”) under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) that covers substantially all U.S. based salaried employees. Employees may contribute a percentage of eligible compensation to the Plan, subject to certain limits under the Code. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, the Company did not provide for any matching contributions.

6.	Mastech Stock Incentive Plan

There were no grants under this Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, stock options totaling 6,000 were granted under this Plan at an exercise price of $4.60.

9.	Shareholders’ Equity

On December 23, 2010, the Company announced a share repurchase program of up to 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock over a two year period. Repurchases under the program may be made through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws.

On February 7, 2012, the Company announced that it was commencing a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer to repurchase up to 608,000 shares of its common stock (remaining unpurchased shares under its repurchase program), in accordance with Schedule TO, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 7, 2012. The result of this corporate action was the repurchase of 429,886 shares of the Company’s common stock on March 13, 2012, at a price of $5.79 per share, inclusive of transaction costs. The acquired shares will be held in Treasury.

10.

Revenue Concentration

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we had three clients that represented more than 10% of total revenues. IBM, TEK Systems and Kaiser Permanente represented 14.7%, 10.6% and 10.6% of total revenues, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we had three clients that represented more than 10% of total revenues. IBM, TEK Systems and Kaiser Permanente represented 16.1%, 11.4% and 10.3% of total revenues, respectively

The Company’s top ten clients represented approximately 57% and 60% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

11.

Related Party Transactions

The Company transacts with its former parent’s affiliate, as indicated below. The Company’s Co-Chairmen each have an ownership interest in iGATE Patni Corporation in excess of 10%.

Transactions with iGATE’s Affiliate

Prior to January 1, 2012, iGATE Global Solutions provided the Company with offshore contractors and IT support services. These services were provided under negotiated agreements between the parties. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company paid iGATE Global Solutions $0 and $210,000, respectively, for such services provided.

Accounts Payable with iGATE’s Affiliate

At March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had Accounts Payable balances of $75,000 and $140,000, respectively, due to iGATE Global Solutions.

12.

Earnings Per Share

The computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the Company’s net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised. The dilutive effect of stock options was calculated using the treasury stock method.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the computation of diluted earnings per share does not include 50,000 and 245,000 stock options, respectively, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

13.

Severance Charges

The Company incurred approximately $120,000 of severance costs during the three months ended March 31, 2012, related to a change in executive leadership. These costs are included as selling, general and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and payment will be made over the six-month period ending September 30, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred approximately $100,000 of severance costs related to its realignment of roles within the recruitment organization.

14.

Subsequent Events

None. The Company has performed a review of events subsequent to the balance sheet date.

15.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Company is of the opinion that any pending accounting pronouncements, either in the adoption phase or not yet required to be adopted, will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for year ended December 31, 2011, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 23, 2012.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about future events, future performance, plans, strategies, expectations, prospects, competitive environment and regulations. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words, “may”, “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “plan”, “intend” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Our actual financial performance could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty of estimates, forecasts and projections and our financial performance may be better or worse than anticipated. Given these uncertainties, you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. All of the forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed under “Risk Factors”, “Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date that they were made. We do not undertake any duty to update forward-looking statements and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, after the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.

Website Access to SEC Reports:

The Company’s website is www.mastech.com. The Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, current reports on Form 8-K and all other reports filed with the SEC, are available free of charge on the Investor Relations page. The website is updated as soon as reasonably practical after such reports are filed electronically with the SEC.

Overview:

We are a domestic provider of IT and specialized healthcare staffing services. From July 1986 through September 2008, we conducted our business as subsidiaries of iGATE. We do not sell, lease or otherwise market computer software or hardware, and 100% of our revenue is derived from the sale of staffing services.

Our IT staffing business combines technical expertise with business process experience to deliver a broad range of services within business intelligence / data warehousing; web services; enterprise resource planning & customer resource management; and eBusiness solutions. We provide our services across various industry verticals including: automotive; consumer products; education; financial services; government; healthcare; manufacturing; retail; technology; telecommunications; transportation; and utilities. Our healthcare staffing unit provides specialized healthcare professionals to hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

The Company aggregates its IT and healthcare operating segments based on the nature of services and, accordingly, has one reportable segment. Thus, no segment related disclosures are presented. However, the Company tracks and evaluates its revenues and gross profits by four distinct sales channels: wholesale IT; retail IT; specialized healthcare and permanent placements / fees. Our wholesale IT channel consists of system integrators and other IT staffing firms with a need to supplement their abilities to attract highly-qualified temporary technical computer personnel. Our retail IT channel focuses on clients that are end-users of IT staffing services. Within the retail channel are end-user clients that have retained a third party to provide vendor management services, commonly known in the industry as Managed Service Providers (“MSP”). The specialized healthcare channel clients consist of hospitals and other healthcare facilities that utilize our staffing professionals. Permanent placement / fee revenues are incidental revenues derived as by-product opportunities of conducting our core contract staffing business.

Recent Developments:

On February 7, 2012, the Company announced that it was commencing a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer to repurchase up to 608,000 shares of its common stock. If fully subscribed, this transaction would have completed the Company’s 750,000 share repurchase program announced on December 23, 2010.

The result of this corporate action was the repurchase of 429,886 shares of the Company’s common stock on March 13, 2012 at a purchase price of $5.79, inclusive of transaction costs. The cash outlay of $2.5 million required to complete this transaction was provided entirely from cash balances on hand.

Critical Accounting Policies:

Our critical accounting policies are described in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements, included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Economic Trends and Outlook:

Generally, our business outlook is highly correlated to general U.S. economic conditions. During periods of increasing employment and economic expansion, demand for our services tends to increase. Conversely, during periods of contracting employment and / or a slowing domestic economy, demand for our services tends to decline. As the economy slowed during the last half of 2007 and recessionary conditions emerged in 2008 and during much of 2009, we experienced less demand for our staffing services. During the second half of 2009, we began to see signs of market stabilization and a modest pick-up in activity levels within certain sales channels and technologies. In 2010, market conditions continued to strengthen over the course of the year and activity levels within most of our sales channels progressively improved. In 2011 and during the first three months of 2012, activity levels have continued to trend up in most technologies and sales channels. Looking forward, we are encouraged by the recent strengthening of the domestic job market, but have concerns over lingering uncertainties that exist in the global economy.

In addition to tracking general U.S. economic conditions, a large portion of our revenues are generated from a limited number of clients. Accordingly, our trends and outlook are impacted by the prospects and well-being of these specific clients. This “account concentration” factor may cause our results of operations to deviate from the prevailing U.S. economic trends from time to time.

In recent years, a larger portion of our revenues have come from our wholesale IT sales channel, which consists largely of strategic relationships with systems integrators and other staffing organizations. This channel tends to carry lower gross margins, but provides higher volume opportunities. Should this trend in our business mix continue, it is likely that our overall gross margins will decline. Within our retail sales channel, many larger users of IT staffing services are employing MSP’s to manage their contractor

spending in an effort to drive down overall costs. The impact of this shift towards the MSP model has been lower gross margins. Should this trend towards utilizing the MSP model continue it is likely that our gross margins will decline in the future.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011:

Revenues:

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $24.5 million, compared to $19.9 million for the corresponding three month period in 2011. This 23% year-over-year revenue increase largely reflects a higher demand for the Company’s services and the corresponding increase in billable consultants on assignment during the 2012 period. Billable IT headcount at March 31, 2012 totaled 558 consultants compared to 472 consultants, one-year earlier. For the three-months ended March 31, 2012, our billable IT headcount increased modestly as robust demand was migrated by a high level of project completions.

Below is a tabular presentation of revenues by sales channel for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively:


Revenues (Amounts in millions)	Three months ended March 31, 2012		Three months ended March 31, 2011
Wholesale IT Channel	$	15.4	$	12.9
Retail IT Channel		6.5		5.0
Specialized Healthcare		2.6		1.9
Permanent Placements / Fees		0.0		0.1

Total revenues	$	24.5	$	19.9

Revenues from our wholesale IT channel increased approximately 19% in the three month period ended March 31, 2012 compared to the corresponding 2011 period. Higher revenue levels from both staffing clients (up 32%) and integrator clients (up 10%) were driven by stronger demand for IT services. During the 2012 period, high project ends and a lower level of new ERP assignments impacted our integrator business. Retail IT channel revenues were up approximately 30% during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the period one-year earlier. Most of this increase came from higher demand at many of our MSP clients. Healthcare revenues increased by 37% for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 compared to the corresponding 2011 period. This improvement reflects an expansion of our service offerings and the geographies in which we market such services. Permanent placement / fee revenues were down approximately $0.1 million in 2012 compared to a year earlier.

The Company’s top ten clients represented approximately 57% and 60% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Gross Margin:

Gross profits in the first quarter of 2012 totaled $4.5 million, or approximately $0.6 million higher than the first quarter of 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 18.2% for the three month period ending March 31, 2012 compared to 19.3% for the three month period a year earlier. The gross margin decline reflects lower permanent placement fees, supply-side pricing pressures within certain technologies and a revenue shift towards our lower margin sales channels.

Below is a tabular presentation of gross margin by sales channel for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively:


Gross Margin	Three months ended March 31, 2012			Three months ended March 31, 2011
Wholesale IT Channel		17.6	%		18.2	%
Retail IT Channel		19.3			21.5
Specialized Healthcare		17.8			17.0
Permanent Placements / Fees		100.0			100.0

Total gross margin		18.2	%		19.3	%

Wholesale IT channel gross margins declined by 60 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to 2011. This decline was largely due to lower margins at our integrator clients and a lower level of ERP assignments in the 2012 quarter. Retail IT gross margins were down 220 basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to 2011, due to supply-

side pricing pressures and an unfavorable mix of business between end-user and MSP clients. Specialized healthcare gross margins improved 80 basis points in the 2012 period compared to a year earlier, largely due to the continued expansion of our higher valued service offerings.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses:

SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $3.9 million or 15.8% of revenues, compared to $3.8 million or 19.0% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Fluctuations within SG&A expense components during the 2012 period compared to a year earlier included the following:

•

Sales expense was flat in the 2012 period compared to 2011. Lower sales management expenses were offset by an increase in sales staff.

•

Recruiting expense was up in the 2012 period by $0.1 million due to an increase in recruiting staff and higher visa processing fees.

•

General and administrative expense in 2012 was in-line with expenses a year earlier. Both the 2012 and 2011 periods included approximately $0.1 million of severance expense related to sales and recruitment leadership changes.

Other Income / (Expense) Components:

Other Income / (Expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2012 consisted of interest expense of $16,000; and a foreign exchange loss of $7,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, Other Income / (Expense) consisted of interest expense of $6,000 and foreign exchange loss of $1,000. The higher interest expense in the 2012 period largely reflects the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our August 31, 2011 amended credit facility with PNC Bank, N.A.

Income Tax Expense:

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $221,000, representing an effective tax rate on pre-tax income of 38.6%, compared to $22,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which represented a 37.3% effective tax rate on pre-tax income. A higher aggregate state tax rate in the 2012 period was largely responsible for the higher effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Financial Conditions and Liquidity:

At March 31, 2012, we had $2.7 million of cash and equivalents on hand. In addition to our cash balances, we have access to a credit facility with PNC Bank, N.A. with $19 million of maximum availability, under which our borrowing base was $14.1 million at March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company spent $2.5 million to acquire approximately 12% of its outstanding common stock through the completion of a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer. This corporate action was funded entirely with cash balances on hand.

Historically, we have funded our business needs with cash generated from operating activities. Controlling our operating working capital levels by closely managing our accounts receivable balance is an important element of cash generation. At March 31, 2012, our accounts receivable “days sales outstanding” (“DSO’s”) measurement was 51-days, compared to 52-days a year earlier. We expect cash provided by operating activities, cash balances on hand and access to capital under our existing credit facility to adequately fund our business needs during the balance of 2012.

Cash flows used in operating activities:

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $0.5 million compared to $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Elements of cash flows during the 2012 period were net income of $0.4 million and an offsetting increase in operating working capital levels of $0.9 million. During the three months March 31, 2011, elements of cash flows were largely related to increases in operating working capital. The operating working capital increases in both 2012 and 2011 reflect higher accounts receivable balances in support of our revenue growth.

Cash flows used in investing activities:

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $71,000 compared to $22,000 for the three months ended a year earlier. In both 2012 and 2011, capital expenditures accounted for our entire cash needs.

Cash flows used in financing activities:

Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $2.5 million and largely related to common stock purchased under the Company’s modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer. In the 2011 period, cash used in financing activities totaled $17,000 and related to common shares purchased under the Company’s share repurchase program.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:

Inflation:

We do not believe that inflation had a significant impact on our results of operations for the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, we attempt to minimize any effects of inflation on our operating results by controlling operating costs and, whenever possible, seeking to insure that billing rates are adjusted periodically to reflect increases in costs due to inflation.

Seasonality:

Our operations are generally not affected by seasonal fluctuations. However, our consultants’ billable hours are affected by national holidays and vacation policies. Accordingly, we generally have lower utilization rates and higher benefit costs during the fourth quarter.

ITEM 3:

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. Our cash flow and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variations. Foreign currency risk exists by nature of our global recruitment centers. However, exposure to currency risk is not viewed to be material and, accordingly, we do not have any exchange rate hedges in place.

ITEM 4:

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Company management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

The certification required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are filed as exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, respectively, to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in Mastech’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of our business, we are involved in a number of lawsuits and administrative proceedings. While uncertainties are inherent in the final outcome of these matters, management believes, after consultation with legal counsel, that the disposition of these proceedings should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2012.
