EXHIBIT 99.1 [TEAMSTAFF LOGO OMITTED] CONTACT INFORMATION: TEAMSTAFF, INC. CCG INVESTOR RELATIONS 300 Atrium Drive 19900 MacArthur Blvd. #110 Somerset, NJ 08873 Irvine, CA 92612 (732) 748-1700 (949) 851-1109 T. KENT SMITH, PRESIDENT & CEO CHRISTI MOTTOLA MANAGING PARTNER cmottola@aol.com TEAMSTAFF ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2004 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND PROGRESS ON POST-RESTRUCTURING GROWTH PLANS Somerset, NJ - February 17, 2004- TeamStaff, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSTF), one of the nation's leading providers of healthcare staffing and specialty payroll services, today announced that it has filed its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003. Additionally, TeamStaff announced financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2003. As a result of TeamStaff's sale of its Professional Employer Organization (PEO) segment, all results reported in this release have been reclassified to show PEO and certain related corporate expenses as discontinued operations. "As our restructuring strategy gains momentum, critical milestones were achieved during the first quarter of fiscal 2004. These milestones are essential steps toward repositioning the company for a return to profitability," said T. Kent Smith, TeamStaff's President and CEO. First Quarter highlights included: o Sale of PEO division - provided $7 million of upfront cash; up to $2.5 million currently in escrow to be released after a 90 day determination period; potential return of up to $5 million in prepaid workers' compensation premiums as well as reduced Letter of Credit requirements as the program runs off over the next several years. o New President of TeamStaff Rx - TeamStaff hired Tim Nieman in December of 2003 to run its medical staffing division. o Expanded sales force - TeamStaff is in the process of tripling its medical staffing division sales force. The added investment in sales will emphasize relationships and constant interaction with prospective and existing clients.

o Introduction of our vendor integration program (VIP). This web-based application provides one-stop shopping for our clients. VIP centralizes the management of our customers' multiple orders, invoices, vendors and locations freeing them of associated paperwork while providing significant cost savings. o We are pursuing alliances and sub-contracting relationships with national travel and per diem nursing firms. TeamStaff's revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2003 were $9.7 million, compared with $18.5 million in the first quarter last year. The 47% decrease relates to lower revenues in our medical staffing division. We believe this relates to current economic conditions, in that hospitals have experienced lower admissions and have stretched their current permanent staff. This, in turn, has led to less demand for temporary healthcare professionals. Longer term, we believe the demand for temporary personnel will increase, driven in part by an aging population and an improving economy. Additionally, we are substantially expanding our sales and marketing efforts in order to increase our contact with current and prospective clients and gain market share in the relatively high-margin healthcare and allied staffing segments.. TeamStaff's loss from continuing operations was $0.5 million or ($0.04) per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 compared to earnings of $0.03 million or $0.02 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Net loss, including discontinued operations, was $1.8 million or ($0.12) per share compared to profit of $0.1 million or $0.01 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. The net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 was affected by a $1.3 million loss or ($0.08) per share from discontinued operations and disposal of the PEO business segment, compared to $0.2 million loss or ($0.01) loss per share from discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2003. Commenting on TeamStaff's first quarter performance, Mr. Smith stated, "Although our first quarter results were well below last year's, we met our internal targets. They are consistent with where we are in our turnaround strategy, as well as consistent with a temporary downturn in the medical staffing industry. We firmly believe that execution on our initiatives, coupled with an improving economy, will drive our return to profitability in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004." ABOUT TEAMSTAFF, INC.
