CSI BOARD AUTHORIZES $5 MILLION ADDITION TO SHARE
REPURCHASE PROGRAM

Declares Cash Dividend

PADUCAH, Ky. – (October 3, 2008) – Computer Services, Inc. (CSI) (OTCQX: CSVI) announced that its Board of Directors authorized a $5 million increase in the Company’s share repurchase program.  To date, CSI has repurchased approximately $32 million of the Company’s shares since its share repurchase program was initially announced in March 2004.  The share repurchase program may be carried out through open market purchases, block trades and in negotiated private transactions.

The Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share payable on December 26, 2008, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 1, 2008.  The $0.17 per share cash dividend represents a 6.3% increase from the $0.16 cash dividend paid in December 2007. 

“The Board’s authorization to purchase additional CSI shares highlights our confidence in the future of our Company,” stated Steven A. Powless, President and CEO of CSI.  “We believe CSI’s stock represents an excellent value at recent prices.  In addition, the share repurchase program provides the opportunity to leverage future earnings per share by using our existing cash reserves and strong cash flow from operations to fund the repurchase program.

“CSI has increased its cash dividend in each of the past 20 years as an important part of our long-term program to build shareholder value.  Our Board of Directors approval to increase the cash dividend and expand the authorization to repurchase CSI shares highlights our strong financial condition, record results and excellent cash flow from operations,” concluded Mr. Powless.
