Non-GAAP net income which does not include stock option expense increased to $319,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to net income of $107,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

SFAS 123R was adopted on a modified prospective basis effective January 1, 2006. See the table below for reconciliation between non-GAAP and GAAP net income.

Business Discussion

Service revenue increased approximately $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same quarter in the previous year. The increase in service revenues during the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same quarter in the previous year was primarily related to the increase in the number of billable employees, the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center contract, and growth in engineering services. Reimbursed costs revenue increased $922,000 in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005. The increase in reimbursed cost revenue is primarily related to an increase in purchases made for customers. Product revenue decreased approximately $263,000 in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same quarter of the previous year. The decrease in product revenue resulted from a reduction of software re-sales to governmental organizations.

Management Comments

"Our financial performance is on target and we are continuing to refine and execute our strategic plans," said Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Frank Libutti, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Digital Fusion. "We opened our Washington D.C. office and continue to expand our customer base. We grew top line revenue $4.0 million and EBITDA $111,000 over of the same quarter in the previous year."

"In an effort to increase efficiency and improve our support functions we moved our corporate headquarters and consolidated some operations," said Gary Ryan, Digital Fusion's President. "The move of our corporate headquarters impacted our second quarter financial results but it will provide for our anticipated future growth."

Similarly, statements herein that describe the Company's business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals are also forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors including, but not limited to: the effect of business and economic conditions; the impact of competitive products and pricing; capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, the Company's dependence on continued funding of U.S. government programs; contract procurement and termination risks; competitive factors such as pricing pressures and/or competition to hire and retain employees, and material changes in laws or regulations applicable to the Company businesses.

This press release includes non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share data, and other non-GAAP line items from the Non-GAAP Information table in this release. These measures exclude the effect of stock compensation expense for employee stock options associated with the application of SFAS 123R, which Digital Fusion, Inc. adopted effective January 1, 2006. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Digital Fusion, Inc. believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. In particular, as Digital Fusion, Inc. begins to apply SFAS 123R, it believes that it is useful to investors to understand how the expense associated with the application of SFAS 123R are reflected in its results of operations. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures permits both investors and management to more readily compare past results, which do not include the impact of SFAS 123R, with future results, and to better understand Digital Fusion's performance over the periods presented.

   Earnings before interest, income taxes, share-based compensation,
                depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA)
                       (unaudited in thousands)

EBITDA (which we define as earnings before interest, income taxes,
share-based compensation, depreciation, and amortization) is not a
measure of financial performance under United States generally
accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") and should not be
considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any
other performance measures derived in accordance with US GAAP or as an
alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of
liquidity. Management believes EBITDA provides additional, useful
information regarding Digital Fusion's ability to meet our debt
service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. EBITDA
is a traditional measure of a business' ability to generate cash flows
irrespective of financing costs and is presented as a supplemental
financial measurement in the evaluation of our business.

(1) For the second quarter of 2006, stock-based compensation expense 
was allocated as follows: $148 to cost of sales expense and $283 to 
selling, general and administrative expense.

(2) Common stock equivalents in the three months ended June 30, 2006, 
were anti-dilutive due to the net losses sustained by the Company 
during this period. Therefore, the diluted weighted average common 
stock shares outstanding in this period are the same as the basic 
weighted average common stock shares outstanding. However, if the 
Company had net income the diluted weighted average number of shares 
would have been 13,789,377 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

(3) For the six months ended June 30, 2006, stock-based compensation 
expense was allocated as follows: $254 to cost of sales expense and

(4) Common stock equivalents in the six months ended June 30, 2006,
