      POMEROY IT SOLUTIONS, INC. - FINANCIAL RESULTS, THIRD QUARTER ENDED
      -------------------------------------------------------------------
                                OCTOBER 5, 2004
                                ---------------

     Hebron,  KY;  November 11, 2004: Pomeroy IT Solutions (NASDAQ: PMRY), today
     announced  results  for  the third quarter and nine months ended October 5,
     2004.

     For the third quarter, the Company's total net sales and revenues increased
     $42.4  million,  or 26.8%, to $200.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal
     2004  from  $158.1  million  in  the  third quarter of fiscal 2003. Diluted
     earnings  per  share  of  $0.15  for  the  quarter  ended  October 5, 2004,
     represent  a  decline  of  28.6%  from $0.21 in the third quarter of fiscal
     2003.  For  the  same  period,  diluted  earnings  per share excluding, the
     non-recurring  items described below increased 28.6% to $0.27 from $0.21 in
     the  comparable  period.

     For  the  nine  months ended October 5, 2004, the Company's total net sales
     and  revenues  increased  $98.5 million, or 22.6%, to $533.9 million in the
     first  nine  months  of  fiscal  2004 from $435.4 million in the first nine
     months  of  fiscal 2003. For the nine months ended October 5, 2004, diluted
     earnings  per  share  of $0.58 represent a 18.4% increase from $0.49 in the
     comparable period in 2003. For the same period, diluted earnings per share,
     excluding  the  non-recurring items in 2004 described below and excluding a
     $92  thousand  litigation settlement in 2003, increased 40.0% to $0.70 from
     $0.50  in  the  comparable  period.

     As previously reported in Form 8-K/A filed October 6, 2004, the Company has
     recorded  a  restructuring  charge,  in conjunction with certain Pomeroy IT
     Solutions  exit  costs.  This  charge  is  related  to  the  acquisition of
     Alternative Resources Corporation ("ARC"). In addition, the Company accrued
     for  a  severance package for its founder and former CEO. The net impact of
     these  non-recurring  charges  was $1.5 million or $0.12 per diluted share.

     "We  are  pleased  that  the process of integrating operations and cultures
     with  our  merger partner ARC has not slowed down our momentum as indicated
     by  our  sequential  and  year  over  year revenue and earnings growth. Our
     balance  sheet  remains  strong with a solid working capital position and a
     virtually  untapped  credit  facility,"  said President Stephen E. Pomeroy.

     As a national solutions provider, Pomeroy is uniquely positioned to provide
     services  that  span  consulting,  infrastructure  and life cycle services.
     Pomeroy  maintains  a  technical  workforce  of approximately 4,000 skilled

     organizations.  For  the  year  ended January 5, 2004, Pomeroy IT Solutions
