NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2010 AND 2009

(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 to primarily large and medium-sized organizations. Our IT staffing business delivers a broad range of services within Business Intelligence / Data Warehousing; Web Services; Enterprise Resource Planning & Customer Resource Management; and eBusiness Solutions segments. We provide our services across various industry verticals including: Automotive; Banking; Consumer Products; Education; Finance; Government; Healthcare; Insurance; Manufacturing; Pharmaceutical; Retail; Technology; Telecommunications; Transportation; and Utilities. Our healthcare staffing business provides healthcare professionals 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, 2009, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2010. Additionally, our operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010 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. 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.

2. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The carrying value of goodwill related to the January, 2010 acquisition of Curastat, Inc. totaled $500,000.

Identifiable intangible assets related to the acquisition of Curastat, Inc. are comprised of trade name, non-compete covenants and customer relationships. The changes in the carrying value during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were as follows (in thousands):

9. 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 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Contingencies Commitments

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.

10. 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 effects of stock options were calculated using the treasury stock method.

For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the computation of diluted earnings per share does not include 246,000 and 183,000 stock options, respectively, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, 246,000 and 183,000 stock options, respectively, were not included in the computation of earnings per share.

11. Acquisition

On January 2, 2010, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Curastat, Inc. (“Curastat”), an Arizona-based provider of specialized healthcare staffing services. The acquisition furthers our growth strategy and diversification into the specialized healthcare staffing space. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the acquisition of Curastat, effective January 2, 2010, under the purchase method of accounting. The total costs of the acquisition have been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The estimated purchase price totaled $1,270,000, and includes a contingent earn-out component, which ranges from -0- to $226,000 based on EBITDA levels generated in 2010 and 2011. The estimated purchase price, which includes $125,000 of contingent earn-out consideration, exceeded the fair value of the acquired net assets and accordingly $500,000 was allocated to goodwill, all of which is deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation for Curastat is as follows:


(in thousands)	Amounts
Current assets	$	808
Fixed assets		14
Acquired intangible assets		150
Goodwill		500
Current liabilities assumed		(202	)

	$	1,270

The acquired intangible assets are as follows:


(in thousands)	Amounts
Trade name	$	50

	$	150

The above intangible assets have definite lives, with a weighted-average amortization period of 3.6 years (3 years for trade name and non-compete covenants and 5 years for customer relationships).

13. Divestiture of GFS

On January 11, 2010, the Company sold its brokerage operations unit, Global Financial Services of Nevada (“GFS”). The sale was a stock transaction for contingent cash consideration made between the Company and William Gorman, former vice president of the brokerage operations unit.

Revenues for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2009 were $1.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively. Operating income for the same periods were immaterial.

14. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2009-13 for “Revenue recognition-multiple deliverable revenue arrangements”. The ASU provides amendments to the criteria in “Revenue recognition – multiple element arrangements” for separating consideration in multiple element arrangements. The amendments in this ASU establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. Further, the term fair value in the revenue guidance will be replaced with selling price to clarify that the allocation of revenue is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of a market place participant. The amendments in this ASU will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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, 2009, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 8, 2010.

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 2009 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 2009 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 provider of IT and specialized healthcare staffing services primarily to large and medium-sized organizations. 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 segments. We provide our services across various industry verticals including: Automotive; Banking; Consumer Products; Education; Finance; Government; Healthcare; Insurance; Manufacturing; Pharmaceutical; Retail; Technology; Telecommunications; Transportation; and Utilities. Our healthcare staffing unit provides specialized healthcare professionals to hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

The Company operates as a single reportable segment. Accordingly, 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. The specialized healthcare channel clients consist of hospitals and other healthcare facilities that utilize our staffing professionals.

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 2009 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 IT 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. During the first half of 2010, we have seen some encouraging improvements in business activity levels. However, the weak U.S. job market and high unemployment are still troubling data points for our industry.

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 result in our results of operations deviating from the prevailing U.S. economic trends from time to time.

In recent years, a larger portion of our IT revenues have come from our wholesale 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 Managed Service Providers (“MSP”) 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 June 30, 2010 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009:

Revenues:

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $16.9 million, compared to $17.7 million for the corresponding three month period in 2009. This 4.3% year-over-year revenue decline largely reflects a lower level of IT billable consultants during the 2010 period and relates to consultant headcount declines incurred during the second half of 2009. Billable IT headcount during the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased by 18 consultants to 407 consultants, but still compares unfavorably to our 444 billable consultants at June 30, 2009. The increase in billable consultant headcount for the three months ended June 30, 2010 represents the second consecutive quarter of expansion and was largely responsible for our 7.7% sequential improvement in revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the previous quarter.

Below is a tabular presentation of revenues by sales channel for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:


Revenues (Amounts in Millions)	Three months ended June 30, 2010		Three months ended June 30, 2009
Wholesale IT Channel	$	10.7	$	9.1
Retail IT Channel		4.9		7.2
Specialized Healthcare		1.3		—
Brokerage Operations		—		1.3
Permanent Placements / Fees		—		0.1

Total revenues	$	16.9	$	17.7

Revenues from our wholesale IT channel increased by approximately 17% for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the corresponding 2009 period. Higher revenues generated from our integrator clients more than offset a modest decline from staffing clients. Retail IT channel revenues were down approximately 32% during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the period one-year earlier, with significant declines at many of our financial services clients and several MSP clients. Revenues from our newly acquired specialized healthcare business offset the loss of revenues that were generated in 2009 by our divested brokerage operations unit. Permanent placement / fee revenues were insignificant during the three month period ended June 30, 2010 and were approximately $0.1 million in the corresponding 2009 period.

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we had two clients that represented more than 10% of total revenues (IBM = 18.5% and TEK Systems = 10.7%). During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we had three clients that represented more than 10% of total revenues (IBM = 16.6%; TEK Systems= 12.9%; and Kaiser Permanente = 11.6%). For the three months ended June 30, 2010, our top ten clients represented approximately 56% of total revenues compared to 64% of total revenues in the corresponding 2009 period.

Gross Margin:

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 19.9% for the three month period ending June 30, 2010 compared to 19.3% for the three month period a year earlier. Gross margins showed signs of stabilization in general, and expansion within certain technologies, during the three month period ending June 30, 2010. Additionally, we had a favorable mix of business within our wholesale IT channel (more revenues generated from Integrator clients as compared to Staffing clients). Also, the divestiture of our lower margin brokerage operations unit in January, 2010 contributed to our overall gross margin improvement.

Below is a tabular presentation of gross margin by sales channel for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:


Gross Margin	Three months ended June 30, 2010		Three months ended June 30, 2009
Wholesale IT Channel	19.4	%	18.1	%
Retail IT Channel	21.7		21.0
Specialized Healthcare	14.7		—
Brokerage Operations	—		14.1
Permanent Placements / Fees	100.0		100.0

Total gross margin	19.9	%	19.3	%

Wholesale IT channel gross margins increased by 130 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009. This improvement reflects a favorable client mix between higher margin Integrator clients and lower margin Staffing clients. Retail IT gross margins were up 70 basis points during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009 due primarily to pricing improvements at MSP clients.

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

SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $3.2 million or 18.8% of revenues, compared to $3.0 million or 16.8% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenues largely reflects investments made in our healthcare and IT sales and recruiting organizations during the last several quarters. Fluctuations within SG&A expense components during the 2010 period compared to a year earlier included the following:

•

Sales expense increased in the 2010 period by $0.1 million due to investments made to enhance and expand our branch office network.

•

Recruiting expense increased in the 2010 period by $0.2 million due to investments made in our domestic recruitment organization, expansion of our offshore global recruitment centers and higher variable compensation expense.

•

General and administrative expense decreased in the 2010 period by $0.1 million. This variance reflects $0.4 million of severance expense in the 2009 period related to the Company’s leadership change, partially offset by investments in healthcare and IT leadership personnel in the 2010 period, as well as higher variable compensation expense.

Other Income / (Expense) Components:

Other Income / (Expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2010 consisted of net interest expense of $6,000 and a foreign exchange loss of $2,000. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, Other Income / (Expense) consisted of net interest expense of $5,000 and foreign exchange gains of $2,000.

Income Tax Expense:

Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $72,000, representing an effective tax rate on pre-tax income of 39.8%, compared to $175,000, which represented a 40.6% effective tax rate on pre-tax income for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 as Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009:

Revenues:

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $32.6 million, compared to $38.2 million for the corresponding period in 2009. This 14.6% year-over-year revenue decline largely reflects a lower level of IT billable consultants during the 2010 period and the divestiture of our brokerage operations business in early 2010. Most of the IT billable consultant decline occurred during the last half of 2009. For the six months ending June 30, 2010, IT billable consultant headcount increased by 28 consultants compared to a 31 consultant decline during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Below is a tabular presentation of revenues by sales channel for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:


Revenues (Amounts in Millions)	Six months ended June 30, 2010		Six months ended June 30, 2009
Wholesale IT Channel	$	19.8	$	18.4
Retail IT Channel		9.9		15.4
Specialized Healthcare		2.8		—
Brokerage Operations		—		4.3
Permanent Placements / Fees		0.1		0.1

Total revenues	$	32.6	$	38.2

Revenues from our wholesale IT channel increased by approximately 8% for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the corresponding 2009 period. Higher revenues generated from our Integrator clients more than offset a decline from Staffing clients. Retail IT channel revenues were down approximately 36% during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the period one-year earlier, with significant declines at many of our financial services clients and several MSP clients. Revenues from our newly acquired specialized healthcare business partially offset the loss of revenues that were generated by our divested brokerage operations unit during the 2009 period. Permanent placement / fee revenues were approximately $0.1 million in both the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company had two clients that exceeded 10% of total revenues (IBM =18.6% and TEK Systems = 10.2%). During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we had four clients that exceeded 10% of total revenue (IBM = 16.2%, TEK Systems = 11.7%, Kaiser Permanente = 11.2% and Wachovia = 10.5%). For the 2010 period, our top ten clients represented approximately 54% of total revenues compared to 66% of total revenue in the corresponding 2009 period.

Gross Margin:

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 19.7% for the six month period ending June 30, 2010 compared to 19.0% for the six month period a year earlier. Gross margins in 2010 benefited from a favorable mix of business within our wholesale IT channel (more revenues generated from Integrator clients as compared to Staffing clients). Additionally, the divestiture of our lower margin brokerage operations unit contributed to our gross margin improvement.

Below is a tabular presentation of gross margin by sales channel for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:


Gross Margin	Six months ended June 30, 2010		Six months ended June 30, 2009
Wholesale IT Channel	19.4	%	18.3	%
Retail IT Channel	20.4		20.3
Specialized Healthcare	16.0		—
Brokerage Operations	—		14.3
Permanent Placements / Fees	100.0		100.0

Total gross margin	19.7	%	19.0	%

Wholesale IT channel gross margins increased by 110 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009. This improvement reflects a favorable client mix between higher margin Integrator clients and lower margin Staffing clients. Retail IT gross margins were up 10 basis points during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009 as pricing continued to stabilize during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

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

SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $6.1 million or 18.8% of revenues, compared to approximately $5.9 million or 15.6% of revenues for the six months ended a year earlier. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenue reflects investments made in our healthcare and IT sales and recruiting organizations. Fluctuation within SG&A expense components during the 2010 period compared to a year earlier included the following:

•

Sales expense increased in the 2010 period by $0.1 million due to investments made to enhance and expand our branch office network.

•

Recruiting expense increased by $0.3 million during 2010, largely due to investments made in our domestic recruitment organization, expansion of our offshore recruitment centers, and higher variable compensation expense.

•

General and administrative expense was $0.2 million lower in 2010 compared to the 2009 period. The 2009 period included $0.4 million of severance expense related to leadership changes and a bad debt expense of $0.1 million. Excluding these charges, 2010 general and administrative expenses were approximately $0.3 million higher than during the 2009 period and reflected investments in healthcare and IT leadership personnel, as well as higher variable compensation expense.

Other Income / (Expense) Components:

Other Income / (Expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 consisted of net interest expense of $11,000 and a foreign exchange loss of $3,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Other Income / (Expense) consisted of net interest expense of $7,000, a $15,000 loss on a joint venture, and $8,000 of foreign exchange losses.

Income Tax Expense:

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $116,000, representing an effective tax rate on pre-tax income of 40.3%, compared to $511,000, representing an effective tax rate on pre-tax income of 40.5% during the corresponding 2009 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

At June 30, 2010, we had $6.1 million of cash and equivalents. In addition to our cash balances, we have access to a revolving credit facility with $10 million of maximum availability, under which our borrowing base was $6.7 million as of June 30, 2010.

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 June 30, 2010, our accounts receivable “days sales outstanding” (“DSO’s”) measurement was 47-days compared to 48-days a quarter ago. We expect cash provided by operating activities and our cash balances on hand to be adequate to fund our business needs during 2010, exclusive of acquisition activities.

Cash flows provided by operating activities:

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $12,000 compared to $2.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009. Elements contributing to cash flows during the 2010 period included net income of $0.2 million, non-cash charges of $0.2 million, and increases in operating working capital of $0.4 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, elements of cash flows included net income of $0.8 million, non-cash charges of $0.3 million, and reductions in operating working capital of approximately $1.6 million. Should we be successful in growing our revenues during the second half of 2010, we would expect additional increases in operating working capital.

Cash flows (used in) investing activities:

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $1.3 million compared to $106,000 for the six months ended a year earlier. The $1.3 million acquisition of Curastat, Inc. largely accounted for this increase. Capital expenditures related to maintenance-type items totaled $35,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and $122,000 for the corresponding 2009 period. The 2009 period included a $16,000 cash distribution from a joint venture which was discontinued in early 2009.

Cash flows provided by financing activities:

Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 included $125,000 of contingent debt related to the acquisition of Curastat, Inc. and $173,000 in proceeds from stock option exercises. These cash flows were offset by a $17,000 adjustment to excess tax benefits related to share-based payments. During the 2009 period, the Company did not engage in any financing activities.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:

We do not have any 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2009-13 for “Revenue recognition-multiple deliverable revenue arrangements”. The ASU provides amendments to the criteria in “Revenue recognition – multiple element arrangements” for separating consideration in multiple element arrangements. The amendments in this ASU establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. Further, the term fair value in the revenue guidance will be replaced with selling price to clarify that the allocation of revenue is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of a market place participant. The amendments in this ASU will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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 second quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.

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 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2010.
