Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition of Assets
On Friday, November 5, 2004, TeamStaff's medical staffing subsidiary, TeamStaff Rx, Inc.entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of the medical staffing business of Nursing Innovations, Inc., a Memphis, Tennessee-based provider of travel and per diem nurses.
Closing of the transaction was completed effective on November 14, 2004. The terms of the agreement provide for TeamStaff Rx to acquire certain assets and goodwill from Nursing Innovations and its primary shareholder. The combined purchase price is approximately $1.8 million, of which $180,000 will be held in an escrow account for a period of one year to provide security for the sellers' indemnification obligations. The purchase price is subject to downward adjustment based upon the percentage of former Nursing Innovation business that successfully transfers to TeamStaff Rx. In addition, there are certain deferred purchase price provisions which may increase the total purchase price based upon on the performance of the former Nursing Innovations business during the two years following closing of the transaction.
A copy of the press release announcing the closing as released on November 15, 2004 is attached as an Exhibit to this filing.

(a) If any Third Party shall notify any Party (the "Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter (a "Third Party Claim") which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") as provided in Section 11.01, 11.02 or 11.03, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced. (b) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations, (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently. (c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably). (d) In the event any of the conditions in Section 11.04(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any 21 settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (ii) subject to any limitations set forth in Section 11.03, the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for any Adverse Consequences suffered by the indemnified Party in defending against the Third Party Claim, and (iii) subject to any limitations set forth in Section 11.03, as applicable, the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent. 11.05 Other Indemnification Provisions.

[TEAMSTAFF LOGO] CONTACT INFORMATION: TEAMSTAFF, INC. CCG INVESTOR RELATIONS 300 Atrium Drive 15300 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 303 Somerset, NJ 08873 Sherman Oaks, CA 91403 (732) 748-1700 (818) 789 0100 T. KENT SMITH, PRESIDENT & CEO CROCKER COULSON PARTNER TEAMSTAFF COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF NURSING INNOVATIONS Somerset, NJ - November 15, 2004- TeamStaff, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSTF), one of the nation's leading providers of healthcare staffing and specialty payroll services, announced today that its medical staffing subsidiary, TeamStaff Rx, Inc. has completed the purchase of certain of the assets of Nursing Innovations, Inc., a Memphis, Tennessee-based provider of travel and per diem nurses. Commenting on the transaction, T. Kent Smith, TeamStaff's President and CEO, stated, "The capital raised as part of our recently completed private placement has already allowed us to begin to execute on the acquisitive side of our growth strategy. Our acquisition of Nursing Innovations truly expands our reach into registered nurse staffing and helps us meet our goal of becoming a one-stop provider of travel healthcare staffing services for our clients. As patient protection measures increase and as more registered nurses reach retirement, we anticipate that the demand for temporary travel nurses will increase substantially," stated Mr. Smith. "We are now in a strong position to capitalize on this demand." Nursing Innovations' Memphis, Tennessee staff will become TeamStaff employees. "We are pleased to have such an enthusiastic group of individuals join our team and expand our marketing and service reach throughout the Southeast," concluded Mr. Smith. W. Lee Booth, Nursing Innovations' President and founder, stated, "The feedback we have received from our clients and nurses regarding the transaction has been extremely positive. Many of our clients have been requesting help with their allied staffing needs. With TeamStaff Rx's reputation and market position in allied healthcare staffing, we will be in a great position to fill these orders. Our nurses are also looking forward to additional assignment options we expect from TeamStaff Rx's significant footprint of client facilities across the nation. Increased assignment choices should enhance our recruitment and retention efforts." Mr. Booth continued, "I am excited to be staying on as President of TeamStaff Rx's new Nursing Innovations division. As a former ER nurse, I've worked plenty of stressful shifts myself and I know our clients and nurses will appreciate having a nurse's voice at the table. Nursing Innovations has grown dramatically over the years by offering outstanding service. Our honesty, integrity and personal touch help to differentiate us in a very competitive industry. TeamStaff Rx and Nursing Innovations share the same core values and I am particularly pleased with the cultural fit between our two organizations." The terms of the agreement provided for TeamStaff Rx to acquire certain assets and goodwill from Nursing Innovations and its primary shareholder. The combined purchase price was approximately $1.8 million, of which $180,000 will be held in an escrow account for a period of one year to provide security for the sellers' indemnification obligations. The purchase price is subject to downward adjustment based on the percentage of former Nursing Innovations business that successfully transfers to TeamStaff Rx. In addition, there are certain deferred purchase price provisions which may increase the total purchase price based upon on the performance of the former Nursing Innovations business during the two years following closing of the transaction. Closing of the transaction was effective as of November 14, 2004. About TeamStaff, Inc.
