Management Comments:
"Another good quarter, fueled by accelerated organic growth, helped second quarter and first half 2008 revenue exceed expectations and set a new CIBER high. More importantly, we continued to invest in our project solutions transition and achieved earnings growth over 2007's similar period," said Mac Slingerlend, CIBER's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are encouraged that the U.S. Commercial Division is showing revenue vitality, that Europe continues to perform robustly, and that our Federal Division was able to sequentially improve its results for the first time in several quarters. These positives overcame a mixed quarter from our US ERP group, where some projects have been concluding successfully, while others have had some struggles and new starts have been delayed. That said, with challenged industry growth, our operational leadership and technical talent are matching up very well and taking share from our domestic and international competitors. We have upgraded our expectations for all of 2008 in the Outlook section below."

solid.
Federal Government Division

contract renewals.

regard, and we continue to believe 2009-2011 will be a meaningful
growth period.
