NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2014 AND 2013

(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 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; consumer products; education; financial services; government; healthcare; manufacturing; retail; technology; telecommunications; transportation; and utilities.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying 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, 2013, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 21, 2014. Additionally, our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

Please refer to Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for a more detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates. There were no material changes to these critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Segment Reporting

The Company has one reportable segment in accordance with ASC Topic 280 “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”.

2.	Discontinued Operations

In August 2013, the Company sold its healthcare staffing business to Accountable Healthcare Staffing, Inc. Under the terms of the Sales and Purchase Agreement the purchase price totaled $1.15 million and consisted of $1 million cash consideration at closing, plus the assumption of certain liabilities by the buyer. Total net assets sold excluded cash balances on hand, accounts receivables and other current assets which approximated $1.5 million, net of current liabilities retained by the Company, at the transaction date.

The healthcare staffing business meets the criteria for being reported as a discontinued operations and has been segregated from continuing operations. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for all periods presented have been recast to reflect the presentation of discontinued operations. Unless otherwise indicated, all disclosures in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the Company’s continuing operations.

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of our business, the Company is involved in a number of lawsuits and administrative proceedings.

4.	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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, the Company did not provide for any matching contributions.

5.	Mastech Stock Incentive Plan

In 2008, the Company adopted a Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which provides that up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock shall be allocated for issuance to directors, officers and key personnel. Grants under the Plan can be made in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares or stock awards. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were -0- grants made under this Plan. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company granted 62,500 performance shares, in addition to equitable adjustments to outstanding equity grants issued under the Plan as required to preserve the intrinsic value related to the non-participation in the Company’s December 21, 2012 special distribution to shareholders.

As of March 31, 2014, there were 23,000 shares available for grant under the Plan.

6.	Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense was $85,000 for both three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The reconciliation of income taxes computed using the statutory U.S. income tax rate and the provision for income taxes from continuing operations for the three ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows (amounts in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2014				Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Other – net		3	0.2			4	0.5

	$	533	38.0	%	$	326	37.5	%

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, are as follows:


(Amounts in thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
Balance as of December 31, 2013	$	111
Additions related to current period		8
Additions related to prior periods		—
Reductions related to prior periods		—

Balance as of March 31, 2014	$	119

Although it is difficult to anticipate the final outcome of these uncertain tax positions, the Company believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by approximately $13,000 during the next twelve months due to the expiration of the statutes of limitation.

8.	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Commencing in June 2012, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts (“derivative contracts”) to mitigate and manage the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates related to highly probable expenditures in support of its Indian-based global recruitment operations. These forward contracts have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments and qualified as effective hedges at inception under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.

All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these instruments is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into the Consolidated Statements of Operations on the same line item and in the same period in which the underlying hedge transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of these instruments deemed ineffective are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as foreign exchange gains (losses). Hedge effectiveness is assessed based on changes in the fair value of the forward contracts related to the difference between the spot price and the forward price. Forward points (premiums/discounts) are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as foreign exchange gains/(losses).

As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s outstanding contracts mature in nine monthly installments of 10 million rupees per month through December 2014, meet the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting and have been deemed to be effective. Accordingly, the Company has recorded other comprehensive pretax gains of $78,000 as of March 31, 2014.

The following table presents information related to foreign currency forward contracts held by the Company:

9.	Fair Value Measurements

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) related to certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 establishes the authoritative definition of fair value; sets out a framework for measuring fair value; and expands the required disclosures about fair value measurements. The valuation techniques required by ASC 820 are based on observable and unobservable inputs using the following three-tier hierarchy:

•

Level 1 - Inputs are observable quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

•

Level 2 - Inputs are observable, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

•

Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable that are supported by little or no market activity.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company carried the following financial assets and (liabilities) at fair value measured on a recurring basis (in thousands):


	Fair Value as of March 31, 2014

10.

Shareholders’ Equity

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had 517,041 shares available for purchase under its existing share repurchase program. Repurchases under the program may be made through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws through December 22, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company repurchased 19,341 shares of common stock at an average price of $14.06 per share. No purchases were made during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

11.

Revenue Concentration

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company had two clients that exceeded 10% of total revenues (KPMG = 11.1% and Accenture = 10.5%). For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company also had two clients that exceeded 10% of total revenues (IBM =12.0% and TEK Systems = 10.1%).

The Company’s top ten clients represented approximately 61% and 58% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

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, 2014 and 2013, the computation of diluted earnings per share does not include -0- and 22,500 stock options, respectively, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

13.

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, 2013, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 21, 2014.

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.

Recent Developments

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:

The Company’s significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates are described in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There were no material changes to these critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Overview:

We are a domestic provider of IT staffing service to mostly large and medium-sized organizations. From July 1986 until our September 2008 spin-off, 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 e-Business 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.

We have one operating segment. Thus, no segment related disclosures are presented. We do, however, track and evaluate our revenues and gross profits by three distinct sales channels: wholesale IT; retail IT; 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”). Permanent placement / fee revenues are incidental revenues derived as by-product opportunities of conducting our core contract staffing business.

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 second 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, 2012 and 2013 activity levels continued to trend up in most technologies and sales channels. During the first three months of 2014, activity levels have remained solid after some softness in early January.

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. This trend in our business mix has impacted overall gross margins during the past several years, and if this trend continues, will likely impact future gross margins as well. 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. This trend towards utilizing the MSP model has resulted in lower gross margins in the retail IT channel over the last two years and it is likely that our gross margins will be pressured in future periods should this trend continue.

Results of Continuing Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013:

Revenues:

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $28.7 million, compared to $24.0 million for the corresponding three month period in 2013. This 20% year-over-year revenue increase, reflected higher demand for the Company’s services and the corresponding increase in billable consultants on assignment during the 2014 period. Billable IT headcount at March 31, 2014 totaled 762 consultants compared to 658 consultants, one-year earlier. Additionally, our average bill rate increased in the 2014 period by approximately 1% to $73.78/per hour compared to a year earlier. For the three-months ended March 31, 2014, our billable IT headcount increased by approximately 3%, which was our second best first quarter performance in the last decade.

Below is a tabular presentation of revenues by sales channel for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively:


Revenues (Amounts in millions)	Three Months Ended March 31, 2014		Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Wholesale IT Channel	$	22.9	$	17.9
Retail IT Channel		5.8		6.1
Permanent Placements / Fees		0.0		0.0

Total revenues	$	28.7	$	24.0

Revenues from our wholesale IT channel increased approximately 28% in the three month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to the corresponding 2013 period. Higher revenue levels from both staffing clients (up 15%) and integrator clients (up 38%) were driven by stronger demand for IT services. Additionally, we participated in more larger-scale assignments with several of our integrator partners in the 2014 period. Retail IT channel revenues were down approximately 5% during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the period one-year earlier. The decline reflected lower revenues from direct end-user clients. Permanent placement / fee revenues were insignificant in both the 2014 and 2013 periods ended March 31.

The Company’s top ten clients represented approximately 61% and 58% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Gross Margin:

Gross profits in the first quarter of 2014 totaled $5.2 million, or approximately $0.9 million higher than the first quarter of 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue totaled 18.2% for the three month period ending March 31, 2014, which was in-line with gross margins a year earlier. Gross margins in the first quarter are historically impacted by higher payroll taxes and bench costs.

Below is a tabular presentation of gross margin by sales channel for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively:


Gross Margin	Three Months Ended March 31, 2014			Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Wholesale IT Channel		17.2	%		17.6	%
Retail IT Channel		21.8			19.7
Permanent Placements / Fees		100.0			100.0

Total gross margin		18.2	%		18.2	%

Wholesale IT channel gross margins decreased by 40 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the 2013 period. The decline reflected higher bench costs in 2014 and consultant compensation increases on existing assignments that have out-paced bill rate increases. Retail IT gross margins were up 210 basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the corresponding 2013 period as margins on MSP assignments continued to strengthened over the last twelve months. Additionally, the Company elected not to pursue new business opportunities with a low-margin MSP client in mid-2013.

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

SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $3.8 million or 13.4% of revenues, compared to $3.5 million or 14.5% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Fluctuations within SG&A expense components during the 2014 period, compared to a year earlier, included the following:

•

Sales expense increased by $0.1 million in the 2014 period compared to 2013, largely the result of our new business development efforts.

•

Recruiting expense was flat in the 2014 period compared to 2013. A slight decline in offshore staff was offset by higher activity-based expenses. The decline in staff was attrition driven and should reverse over the next several quarters.

•

General and administrative expense in 2014 was up $0.2 million from a year earlier. Higher travel and other corporate related expenses were largely responsible for this increase.

Other Income / (Expense) Components:

Other Income / (Expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted of interest expense of $23,000 and foreign exchange gains of $31,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, Other Income / (Expense) consisted of interest expense of $25,000 and foreign exchange gains of $12,000.

Income Tax Expense:

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $533,000, representing an effective tax rate on pre-tax income of 38.0%, compared to $326,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which represented a 37.5% effective tax rate on pre-tax income. A slightly higher aggregate state tax rate in the 2014 period was responsible for the higher effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Financial Conditions and Liquidity:

At March 31, 2014, we had $1.1 million of outstanding debt, net of cash balances on hand, and approximately $15.0 million of borrowing capacity under our existing credit facility.

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, 2014, our accounts receivable “days sales outstanding” (“DSO’s”) measurement increased to 56-days, compared to 52-days a year earlier. This increase in our DSO measurement largely resulted from billing requirement changes instituted by one of our integrator partners. We would expect the DSO measurement to return to more normal levels during the second quarter of 2014.

Cash provided by operating activities, cash balances on hand and current availability under our existing credit facility should be adequate to fund our business needs in 2014.

Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities:

Cash (used in) operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled ($1.6 million) compared to cash provided of $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Elements of cash flows in the 2014 period were net income of $0.9 million, non-cash charges of $0.1 million, and an offsetting increase in operating working capital levels of ($2.6 million). During the three months March 31, 2013, elements of cash flows were net income of $0.6 million and an offsetting increase in operating working capital levels of ($0.5 million). The operating working capital increases in 2014 reflected higher account receivable balances in support of our revenue growth and an increase in the Company’s days sales outstanding measurement. In 2013 the operating working capital increase reflected higher accounts receivable balances in support of our revenue growth.

Discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014, provided $32,000 of cash, compared to cash usage of $193,000 in the 2013 period.

Cash flows used in investing activities:

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $17,000 compared to $27,000 for the three months ended a year earlier. In both 2014 and 2013, capital expenditures accounted for essentially all of our cash needs.

Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities:

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $1.7 million and largely consisted of proceeds from short-term borrowings. During the 2014 period, the Company used cash of ($272,000) to repurchase common stock. Additionally, excess tax benefits on stock options exercised and performance shares vested generated cash of $305,000. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $59,000 and related to proceeds from short-term borrowings and proceeds from the exercising of stock options.

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. Additionally, assignment completions tend to be higher near the end of the calendar year, which largely impacts our revenue and gross profit performance during the subsequent 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. We attempt to limit our exposure to currency exchange fluctuations in the Indian rupee (“Rupee”) via the purchase of foreign currency forward contracts. These forward contracts have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments and are used to mitigate overall foreign currency risk by essentially creating offsetting currency exposures. The following table presents information related to foreign currency forward contracts held by the Company as of March 31, 2014:


Currency (in thousands)	Amount (in Rupees)		Amount (in USD)
Currency Forward Contracts	INR	90,000	$	1,328

Effect of Hypothetical Currency Rate Fluctuations

As of March 31, 2014, the potential gain or loss in the fair value of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contracts assuming hypothetical 10%, 5%, 2% and 1% fluctuations in currency rates would be as follows (amounts in thousands):


	Valuation given X% decrease in Rupee/USD Rate								Fair Value as of March 31, 2014		Valuation given X% increase in Rupee/USD Rate
	10%		5%		2%		1%				1%		2%		5%		10%
Rupee to USD Rate		55.47		58.55		60.40		61.01		61.63		62.25		62.86		64.71		67.79
