NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of Hudson Global, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) filed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
    
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of operating revenues and expenses. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge and judgments. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intra-entity balances and transactions between and among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. For more information, see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    The Company is comprised of the operations, assets, and liabilities of the Company's 3 regional businesses of Hudson Americas, Hudson Asia Pacific, and Hudson Europe. The Company provides Recruitment Process Outsourcing (“RPO”) permanent recruitment and contracting outsourced recruitment solutions. These services are tailored to the individual needs of primarily mid-to-large-cap multinational companies. The Company's RPO delivery teams utilize state-of-the-art recruitment process methodologies and project management expertise in their flexible, turnkey solutions to meet clients' ongoing business needs.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, referred to as COVID-19, was reported to have originated in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared that the virus had become a global public-health emergency. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak to be a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. Many countries around the world have imposed quarantines and restrictions on travel and mass gatherings to slow the spread of the virus. Our businessCOVID-19 continues to be impacted byhave an impact around the outbreakworld and presents risks to the Company, which the Company is unable to fully evaluate or foresee at the current time. However, the Company is vigilantly monitoring the business environment surrounding COVID 19 and continues to proactively address this situation as it evolves. The Company believes it can continue to take appropriate actions to manage the business in this challenging environment due to the flexibility of its workforce and the accompanying economic downturn. Somestrength of our customers continue to have instituted hiring freezes, while other customers operating in the banking, pharmaceutical, and technology industries, which may be considered as essential businesses in different jurisdictions, or customers that are more capable of working remotely than other industries, have been allowed to operate as usual. The inability to conduct in-person interviews has also impacted our business. The expected timeline for this reduction in demand for our services remains uncertain and difficult to predict considering the rapidly evolving landscape.its balance sheet.


In 2020 in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, certain foreign government organizations offered wage assistance subsidies and tax credits to companies in exchange for maintaining specified levels of compensation and related costs for employees residing in those countries.

June 30, 2020 the Company received $265 related to foreign government assistance, included within Other income (expense), net. In the U.S, the Company received a $1.3 million loan in the second quarter of 2020 in connection with the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”), under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The SBA approved the forgiveness of the full amount of the loan on November 30, 2020. For more information, see Note 10.

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, “Income Taxes (“Topic 740”): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The standard simplifies accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The ASU also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. For public business entities, this standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
        
Recent Accounting Standard Update Not Yet Adopted

    In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). This standard requires an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss ( “CECL”) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, each reporting entity should estimate an allowance for expected credit losses, which is intended to result in more timely recognition of losses. This model replaces multiple existing impairment models in current U.S. GAAP, which generally requires a loss to be incurred before it is recognized. The new standard applies to trade receivables arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivable. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 606”), revenue is recognized when, among other criteria, it is probable that an entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to when goods or services are transferred to a customer. When trade receivables are recorded, they become subject to the CECL model and estimates of expected credit losses on trade receivables over their contractual life will be required to be recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance is effective for smaller reporting companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including the interim periods in the year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, and will adopt the guidancestandard when it becomes effective.


NOTE 4 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

Nature of Services

    We account for a contract when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenues are recognized over time, using an output measure, as the control of the promised services is transferred to the client in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The majority of our contracts are short-term in nature as they include termination clauses that allow either party to cancel within a short termination period, without cause. Revenue includes billable travel and other reimbursable costs and is reported net of sales or use taxes collected from clients and remitted to taxing authorities.

    We generally determine standalone selling prices based on the prices included in the client contracts, using expected cost plus profit, or other observable prices. The price as specified in our client contracts is generally considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable input that depicts the price as if sold to a similar client in similar circumstances. Certain client contracts have variable consideration, including usage-based fees that increase the transaction price and volume rebates or other similar items that generally reduce the transaction price. We estimate variable consideration using the expected value method based on the terms of the client contract and historical evidence. These amounts may be constrained and are only included in revenue to the extent we do not expect a significant reversal when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is

resolved. Our estimated amounts of variable consideration subject to constraints are not material and we do not believe that there will be significant changes to our estimates.

    We record accounts receivable when our right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets primarily relate to our rights to consideration for services provided that they are conditional on satisfaction of future performance obligations. A contract liability for deferred revenue is recorded when consideration is received, or is unconditionally due, from a client prior to transferring control of services to the client under the terms of a contract. Deferred revenue balances typically result from advance payments received from clients prior to transfer services. We do not have any material contract assets or liabilities as of and for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021.

    Payment terms vary by client and the services offered. We consider payment terms that exceed one year to be extended payment terms. Substantially all of the Company's contracts include payment terms of 90 days or less and we do not extend payment terms beyond one year.

    We primarily record revenue on a gross basis as a principal in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income based upon the following key factors:

We maintain the direct contractual relationship with the client and are responsible for fulfilling the service promised to the client.

We maintain control over our contractors while the services to the client are being performed, including our contractors' billing rates, and are ultimately responsible for paying them.

    RPO Recruitment. We provide complete recruitment outsourcing, project-based outsourcing, and recruitment consulting for clients' permanent staff hires. We recognize revenue for our RPO recruitment over time in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to and have an enforceable right to payment in exchange for our services. The client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as they are provided. The transaction prices contain both fixed fees and variable consideration. Variable consideration is constrained by candidates accepting offers of permanent employment. We recognize revenue on the fixed fees as the performance obligations are satisfied and variable fees as the constraint is lifted. We do not incur incremental costs to obtain our RPO recruitment contracts. The costs to fulfill these contracts are expensed as incurred.

    We recognize permanent placement revenue when employment candidates accept offers of permanent employment. We have a substantial history of estimating the financial impact of permanent placement candidates who do not remain with our clients through a guarantee period. Fees to clients are generally calculated as a percentage of the new employee’s annual compensation. No fees for permanent placement services are charged to employment candidates.

    Contracting. We provide RPO clients with a range of outsourced professional contract staffing services and managed service provider services offered sometimes on a standalone basis and sometimes as part of a blended total talent solution. We recognize revenue for our contracting services over time as services are performed in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to and have an enforceable right to payment in exchange for our services, which is generally calculated as hours worked multiplied by the agreed-upon hourly bill rate. The client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as they are provided. We do not incur incremental costs to obtain our contracting contracts. The costs incurred to fulfill these contracts are expensed as incurred.

    Unsatisfied performance obligations. As a practical expedient, we do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an expected original duration of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

NOTE 5 – ACQUISITION

On October 1, 2020, the Company, entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) by and among the Company, Hudson Coit, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Buyer”), Coit Staffing, Inc. (“Seller”), Joe Belluomini, and Tim Farrelly (together with Mr. Belluomini, the “Principals”) and completed the acquisition by Buyer of substantially all of the assets used in the business of the Seller, as set forth in the APA (the “Acquisition”).

Per the terms of the APA, the Seller received (i) $3,997 in cash subject to certain adjustments set forth in the APA at the closing of the Acquisition; (ii) a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $1,350, payable in annual installments of $450 per year on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the closing; (iii) $500 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock, with the amount of such shares to be determined by dividing $500 by the weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days prior to the closing date, to be issued in three equal installments on each of the 10-month, 20-month, and 30-month anniversaries of the closing date; and (iv) earn-out payments not to exceed $1,500 and $2,030 in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively, based upon the achievement of certain performance thresholds in those years. In addition the Principals each entered into employment agreements with the Company for a term of two years.

The Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price consists of the amount paid in cash of $3,997, which was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair values on the acquisition date of October 1, 2020, with the excess recorded as goodwill. The Company incurred transaction costs related to the acquisition of $436 that were expensed as part of Office and general on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.Operations on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The promissory note and shares of the Company’s common stock to be paid to the Seller as outlined in the APA are tied to the continuing employment of the Principals at the Company, and therefore have been accounted for as compensation expense. This compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis under the assumption that the Principals will remain employed by the Company, and therefore that the note will be paid in full and the shares will be issued. For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $90$92 and $182, respectively, in stock-based compensation associated with the 52,226 restricted shares of common stock to be issued over 30 months (see Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), $91. In addition, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized expense of $90 and $181 related to the promissory note, and $200$300 and $500 related to earn-out payments, respectively. The compensation expenseamount due associated with the promissory note payable to the Seller is reflected in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The totalcompensation expense recognized of $381$482 and $863 for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, respectively, is reflected in Salaries and related expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 included revenue of $1,316$1,900 and $3,216 and net loss of $334$154 and $488 from the acquired company.company, respectively.

NOTE 6 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Incentive Compensation Plan
    The Company maintains the Hudson Global, Inc. 2009 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan, as amended and restated on May 24, 2016 and further amended on September 14, 2020 (the “ISAP”), pursuant to which it can issue equity-based compensation incentives to eligible participants. The ISAP permits the granting of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other types of equity-based awards. The Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board will establish such conditions as it deems appropriate on the granting or vesting of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other types of equity-based awards. As determined by the Compensation Committee, equity awards also may be subject to immediate vesting upon the occurrence of certain events following a change in control of the Company. The Company primarily grants restricted stock and restricted stock units to its employees. A restricted stock unit is equivalent to one share of the Company’s common stock and is payable only in common stock of the Company issued under the ISAP.
    The Compensation Committee administers the ISAP and may designate any of the following as a participant under the ISAP: any officer or other employee of the Company or its affiliates or individuals engaged to become an officer or employee; consultants or other independent contractors who provide services to the Company or its affiliates; and non-employee directors of the Company. On September 14, 2020, the Company's stockholders approved amendments to the ISAP to, among other things, increase the number of shares of the Company's common stock that are reserved for issuance by 250,000 shares. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, there were 117,116100,134 shares of the Company’s common stock available for future issuance under the ISAP.
All share issuances related to stock compensation plans are issued from the aforementioned stock available for future issuance under stockholder approved compensation plans.
In the first quarter ofthree months ended March 31, 2021, the Company granted restricted stock units subject to performance vesting conditions for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021 of 53,075 and 73,596, respectively. In addition the Company granted 25,500 of discretionary time-vested stock units to certain employees that were not subject to performance conditions. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, no stock-based units were granted to employees.
A summary of the quantity and vesting conditions for stock-based units granted to the Company's employees for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 was as follows:
Vesting conditionsNumber of Restricted Stock Units Granted
Performance and service conditions - Type 1 (1) (2)
66,220 
Performance and service conditions - Type 2 (1) (2)
60,451 
Service conditions only - Type 1 (2)
25,500 
Total shares of stock award granted152,171 

(1)The performance conditions with respect to restricted stock units may be satisfied as follows: 
(a)For employees from the Americas, APAC, and Europe 70% of the restricted stock units may be earned on the basis of performance as measured by a “regional adjusted EBITDA”, and 30% of the restricted stock units may be earned on the basis of performance as measured by a “group adjusted EBITDA”; and
(b)For grants to Corporate office employees subject to 2020 performance conditions, 75% of the restricted stock units may be earned on the basis of performance as measured by a “group adjusted EBITDA”, and 25% of the restricted stock units may be earned on the basis of performance as measured by a “corporate costs” target. For grants to Corporate office employees subject to 2021 performance conditions, 100% of the the restricted stock units may be earned on the basis of performance as measured by a “group adjusted EBITDA”.
(c)For grants to Coit Principals subject to 2021 performance conditions, 100% of the restricted stock units may be earned on the basis of performance as measured by a “Coit EBITDA”.

(2)To the extent restricted stock units are earned, such restricted stock units will vest on the basis of service as follows:
(a)33% and 66.6% for Type 1 and Type 2, respectively, of the restricted stock units will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date;
(b)33% and 16.7% for Type 1 and Type 2, respectively, of the restricted stock units will vest on the second anniversary of the grant date; and
(c)34% and 16.7% for Type 1 and Type 2, respectively, of the restricted stock units will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date; provided that, in each case, the employee remains employed by the Company from the grant date through the applicable service vesting date.
The Company also maintains the Director Deferred Share Plan (the “Director Plan”) as part of the ISAP pursuant to which it can issue restricted stock units to its non-employee directors. A restricted stock unit is equivalent to one share of the Company’s common stock and is payable only in common stock issued under the ISAP upon a director ceasing service as a member of the Company's Board. The restricted stock units vest immediately upon grant and are credited to each of the non-employee director's retirement accounts under the Director Plan. Restricted stock units issued under the Director Plan contain the right to a dividend equivalent award in the form of additional restricted stock units. The dividend equivalent award is calculated using the same rate as the cash dividend paid on a share of the Company's common stock, and then divided by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date the dividend is paid to determine the number of additional restricted stock units to grant. Dividend equivalent awards have the same vesting terms as the underlying awards. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, the Company granted 2,74019,862 restricted stock units to its non-employee directors pursuant to the Director Plan.
    As of March 31,June 30, 2021, 207,712228,185 restricted stock units are deferred under the Company’s ISAP.
    For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock units was as follows:

Restricted Stock Units
    As of March 31,June 30, 2021, the Company had $2,061$1,713 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding unvested restricted stock units.

These shares had a grant price of $9.57 and a remaining average expected life of 1.170.92 years. Restricted stock units have no voting or dividend rights until the awards are vested.    

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Provision

    Under ASC 270, “Interim Reporting”, and ASC 740-270, “Income Taxes – Intra Period Tax Allocation”, the Company is required to adjust its effective tax rate for each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the full year where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the calculation of the estimated annual effective tax rate. Applying the provisions of ASC 270 and ASC 740-270 could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.

    In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus packages. These measures may include deferring the due dates of tax payments or other changes to their income and non-income-based tax laws. The CARES Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the U.S., includes measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based-tax laws. The enactment of the CARES Act and other COVID-19 measures did not result in any material adjustments to our income tax provision for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, or to our net deferred tax assets as of March 31,June 30, 2021. The Company continues to monitor federal, state, and international regulatory developments in relation to COVID-19 and their potential impact on our operations.

Effective Tax Rate
    The provision for income taxes for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 was $178$567 on a pre-tax lossincome of $25,$242, compared to a provision for income taxes of $107$373 on pre-tax loss of $404$910 for the same period in 2020. The Company’s effective income tax rate was negative 721%positive 234% and negative 27%41% for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020, the effective tax rates differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to changes in valuation allowances in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, which reduces or eliminates the effective tax rate on current year profits or losses, changes to unrecognized tax benefits, foreign tax rate differences, and non-deductible expenses.
Uncertain Tax Positions 
    As of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $672$678 and $669, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, which if recognized in the future, would lower the Company’s effective income tax rate.
     The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of the provision for income taxes. As of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $611$632 and $594, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits.
        Based on information available as of March 31,June 30, 2021, it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by up to $200 over the next 12 months as a result of projected resolutions of global tax examinations and controversies and potential expirations of the applicable statutes of limitations.
In many cases, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities. Tax years with net operating losses (“NOLs”) remain open until such losses expire or until the statutes of limitations for those years when the NOLs are used expire. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, the Company's open tax years, which remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities, are between 2013 and 2020 depending on the jurisdiction.
    The Company believes that its unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31,June 30, 2021 are appropriately recorded for all years subject to examination above.
    
NOTE 8 – LOSS PER SHARE
    Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. When the effects are not anti-dilutive, diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding and the impact of all dilutive potential common shares, primarily stock options “in-the-money”, unvested restricted stock, and unvested restricted stock units. The dilutive impact of stock options, unvested restricted stock, and unvested restricted stock units is determined by applying the “treasury stock” method. Performance-based restricted stock awards are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions: (i) are satisfied prior to the end of the reporting period; or (ii) would be satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related performance period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. Stock awards subject to vesting or exercisability based on the achievement of market conditions are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share only when the market conditions are met.
    A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted loss per share calculations for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation and Complaints 
    The Company is subject, from time to time, to various claims, lawsuits, contracts disputes, and other complaints from, for example, clients, candidates, suppliers, landlords for both leased and subleased properties, former and current employees, and regulators or tax authorities arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company routinely monitors claims such as these, and records provisions for losses when the claim becomes probable and the amount due is estimable. Although the outcome of these claims cannot be determined, the Company believes that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
    For matters that reach the threshold of probable and estimable, the Company establishes reserves for legal, regulatory, and other contingent liabilities. The legal reserves are included under the caption “Other non-current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's reserves were $0 as of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Operating Leases
    Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease guidelines detailed in ASU 2016-02. Lease payments for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less based on original lease commencement date are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

    Our office space leases have lease terms of one year to three years. Some of these operating leases include options to extend the lease terms, and some operating leases include options to terminate the leases earlier than the full terms. These options are considered in our determination of the valuation of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
    None of our operating leases include implicit rates, and we have determined that the difference between the contractual cost basis and the present value of lease payments calculated using incremental borrowing rates is not material. Our operating lease costs for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $177$358 and $139,$277, respectively (reflected in Net cash used in operating activities). The weighted average remaining lease term of our operating leases as of March 31,June 30, 2021 was 1.7 years.
    As of March 31,June 30, 2021, future minimum operating lease payments are as follows:
202120222023Total
Minimum lease payments$355 $274 $121 $750

Minimum lease payments$232 $286 $121 $639 
    
Invoice Finance Credit Facility

    On April 8, 2019, the Company’s Australian subsidiary (“Australian Borrower”) entered into an invoice finance credit facility agreement (the “NAB Facility Agreement”) with National Australia Bank Limited (“NAB”). The NAB Facility Agreement provides the Australian Borrower with the ability to borrow funds based on a percentage of eligible trade receivables up to a maximum of 4 million Australian dollars. No receivables have terms greater than 90 days, and any risk of loss is retained by the Australian Borrower. The interest rate is calculated as the variable receivable finance indicator rate, plus a margin of 1.60% per annum. Borrowings under this facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Australian Borrower. The NAB Facility Agreement does not have a stated maturity date and can be terminated by either the Australian Borrower or NAB upon 90 days written notice. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under the NAB Facility Agreement. Interest expense and fees incurred on the NAB Facility Agreement waswere $5 and $10 for each of the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, respectively, and $5 and $10 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

    The NAB Facility Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants for the Australian Borrower including (1) that EBITDA must be at least 2 times total interest paid on debt on a 12-month rolling basis; (2) minimum tangible net worth must be at least 2.5 million Australian dollars and be equal to at least 25% of total tangible assets on June 30 and December 31 (as defined in the NAB Facility Agreement); and (3) additional periodic reporting requirements to NAB. The Australian Borrower was in compliance with all financial covenants under the NAB Facility Agreement as of March 31,June 30, 2021.

Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, covered mortgage interest and covered utilities.

The PPP loan had a 1.00% interest rate and was scheduled to mature on April 26, 2022. The loan was subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the CARES Act. The Company complied with all provisions related to the PPP loan. The Company submitted its application for loan forgiveness in September 2020, and the SBA approved the forgiveness of the full amount of the loan on November 30, 2020.

NOTE 14 – STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

    On October 15, 2018, the Company’s Board declared a dividend to the Company’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 25, 2018 (the “Record Date”), for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, of 1 right (a “Right”) to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of a new series of participating preferred stock of the Company. The terms of the Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement, dated as of October 15, 2018 (the “Rights Agreement”), by and between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent. The Company's stockholders approved the Rights Agreement at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders held on May 6, 2019. Each Right allows its holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of the Company’s Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) for a purchase price of $3.50. Each fractional share of Series B Preferred Stock would give the stockholder approximately the same dividend, voting and liquidation rights as does 1 share of common stock. Prior to exercise, however, a Right does not give its holder any dividend, voting or liquidation rights.

    The Board entered into the Rights Agreement in an effort to preserve the value of the Company’s significant U.S. NOLs and other tax benefits. The Company’s ability to utilize its NOLs may be substantially limited if the Company experiences an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In general, an “ownership change” would occur if the percentage of the Company’s ownership by one or more “5-percent shareholders” (as defined in the Code) increases by more than 50 percent over the lowest percentage owned by such stockholders at any time during the prior three years. The Rights Agreement is designed to preserve the Company’s tax benefits by deterring transfers of common stock that could result in an “ownership change” under Section 382 of the Code.

    The Rights Agreement replaced the Company’s prior rights agreement designed to preserve the value of the Company’s NOLs, which was approved by stockholders in 2015 and expired in accordance with its terms in January 2018. The Company also has a provision in its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Provision”) which generally prohibits transfers of its common stock that could result in an ownership change. The Company believes that in light of the significant amount of the NOLs, it is advisable to adopt the Rights Agreement in addition to the Charter Provision. In general terms, the Rights Agreement imposes a significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires beneficial ownership

(as (as defined under the Rights Agreement) of 4.99% or more of the outstanding common stock without the prior approval of the Board (an “Acquiring Person”). Any Rights held by an Acquiring Person are void and may not be exercised.

    The Rights will not be exercisable until the earlier of (i) 10 days after a public announcement by the Company that a person or group has become an Acquiring Person; and (ii) 10 business days (or a later date determined by the Board) after a person or group begins a tender or an exchange offer that, if completed, would result in that person or group becoming an Acquiring Person.
    
    Until the date that the Rights become exercisable (the “Distribution Date”), common stock certificates will also evidence the Rights and will contain a notation to that effect. Any transfer of shares of common stock prior to the Distribution Date will constitute a transfer of the associated Rights. After the Distribution Date, the Rights will separate from the common stock and be evidenced by Right certificates, which the Company will mail to all holders of Rights that have not become void. After the Distribution Date, if a person or group already is or becomes an Acquiring Person, all holders of Rights, except the Acquiring Person, may exercise their Rights upon payment of the purchase price to purchase shares of common stock (or other securities or assets as determined by the Board) with a market value of 2 times the purchase price (a “Flip-in Event”). After the Distribution Date, if a Flip-in Event has already occurred and the Company is acquired in a merger or similar transaction, all holders of Rights, except the Acquiring Person, may exercise their Rights upon payment of the purchase price, to purchase shares of the acquiring or other appropriate entity with a market value of 2 times the purchase price of the Rights. Rights may be exercised to purchase Series B Preferred Stock only after the Distribution Date occurs and prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event as described above. A Distribution Date resulting from the commencement of a tender offer or an exchange offer as described in the second bullet point above could precede the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, in which case the Rights could be exercised to purchase Series B Preferred Stock. A Distribution Date resulting from any occurrence described in the first bullet point above would necessarily follow the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, in which case the Rights could be exercised to purchase shares of common stock (or other securities or assets) as described above.

    The Rights will expire on the earliest of (i) October 15, 2021, the third anniversary of the date on which the Board authorized and declared a dividend of the Rights, or such earlier date as of which the Board determines that the Rights Agreement is no longer necessary for the preservation of the Company’s tax benefits, (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed, (iii) the time at which the Rights are exchanged, (iv) the effective time of the repeal of Section 382 of the Code if the Board determines that the Rights Agreement is no longer necessary for the preservation of the Company’s tax benefits, and (v) the first day of a taxable year to which the Board determines that no NOLs or other tax benefits may be carried forward.

    The Board may redeem all (but not less than all) of the Rights for a redemption price of $0.001 per Right at any time before the later of the Distribution Date and the date of the first public announcement or disclosure by the Company that a person or group has become an Acquiring Person. Once the Rights are redeemed, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate, and the only right of the holders of such Rights will be to receive the redemption price.

    The Board may adjust the purchase price of the Series B Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock issuable and the number of outstanding Rights to prevent dilution that may occur as a result of certain events, including, among others, a stock dividend, a stock split or a reclassification of the Series B Preferred Stock or common stock.

    Before the time the Rights cease to be redeemable, the Board may amend or supplement the Rights Agreement without the consent of the holders of the Rights, except that no amendment may decrease the redemption price below $0.001 per Right.

Current Market Conditions

    After a challenging year in 2020, economic conditions in most of the world’s major markets are expected to rebound in 2021, although activity is expected to remain below pre-COVID levels.levels, and millions have dropped out of the global labor force. The approval and rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in somemany countries provides a potential path for an eventual end to the pandemic, however expectations for recovery are hampered by rising infections and new variants of the virus. Policy measures enacted by country governments to combat the economic impact of the virus are expected to continue to provide additional support to local economies. In addition, the continued uncertainty has resulted in increased volatility in global currencies. Effective containment measures in China have resulted in a stronger recovery, and agreement on the terms of the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union have eliminated some of the uncertainty in that country. Stronger foreign currencies in these and other markets compared to the U.S. dollar during a reporting period cause local currency results of the Company’s foreign operations to be translated into more U.S. dollars. The Company closely monitors the economic environment and business climate in its markets and responds accordingly.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The continuing impact of COVID-19 around the world presents significant risks to the Company, which the Company is unable to fully evaluate or even to foresee at the current time. SomeHowever, the Company is vigilantly monitoring the business environment surrounding COVID 19 and continues to proactively address this situation as it evolves. The Company believes it can continue to take appropriate actions to manage the business in this challenging environment due to the flexibility of our customers instituted hiring freezes, while other customers operating inits workforce and the banking, pharmaceutical and technology industries, which may be considered as essential businesses in different jurisdictions, or customers that were more capablestrength of working remotely than other industries, have been allowed to operate as usual. The inability to conduct in-person interviews also impacted our business. In addition,its balance sheet.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted certain currencies compared to the U.S. dollar in several countries where we operate, including Australia.

The COVID-19 pandemichas affected the Company’s operations in the firstsecond quarter and may continue to do so in the future, quarters. All of these factors may have far reaching impactswe believe the impact on the Company’s business, operations, and financial results and conditions, directly and indirectly, including without limitationcondition were less than in the previous quarters, which have included impacts on the health of the Company’s management and employees, marketing and sales operations, customer and consumer behaviors, and on the overall economy. The scope and nature of these impacts, most of which are beyond the Company’s control, continue to evolve and the outcomes are uncertain.

Due to the above circumstances and as described generally in this Form 10-Q, the Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Management cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s sales or on economic conditions generally. The ultimate extent of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments, and such effects could exist for an extended period of time even after the pandemic might end.

Constant Currency
    The Company operates on a global basis, with the majority of its revenue generated outside of the U.S. Accordingly, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect the Company's results of operations. For the discussion of reportable segment results of operations, the Company uses constant currency information. Constant currency compares financial results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The Company defines the term “constant currency” to mean that financial data for a previously reported period are translated into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate financial data for the current period. The Company’s management reviews and analyzes business results in constant currency and believes these results better represent the Company’s underlying business trends. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates generally impact only reported earnings.
    Changes in revenue, adjusted net revenue, SG&A and Non-Op, operating income (loss), net income (loss), and EBITDA (loss) include the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The tables below summarize the impact of foreign currency exchange adjustments on the Company’s operating results for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020.

(c)See EBITDA reconciliation in the following section.
Use of EBITDA (Non-GAAP measure)
    Management believes EBITDA is a meaningful indicator of the Company’s performance that provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Management also considers EBITDA to be the best indicator of operating performance and most comparable measure across the regions in which the Company operates. Management also uses this measure to evaluate capital needs and working capital requirements. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, or net income prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) or as a measure of the Company’s profitability. EBITDA is derived from net income (loss) adjusted for the provision for (benefit from) income taxes, interest expense (income), and depreciation and amortization.

    On April 8, 2019, the Company’s Australian subsidiary (“Australian Borrower”) entered into an invoice finance credit facility agreement (the “NAB Facility Agreement”) with National Australia Bank Limited (“NAB”). The NAB Facility Agreement provides the Australian Borrower with the ability to borrow funds based on a percentage of eligible trade receivables up to a maximum of $4 million Australian dollars. No receivables have terms greater than 90 days, and any risk of loss is retained by the Australian Borrower. The interest rate is calculated as the variable receivable finance indicator rate, plus a margin of 1.60% per annum. Borrowings under this facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Australian Borrower. The NAB Facility Agreement does not have a stated maturity date and can be terminated by either the Australian Borrower or NAB upon 90 days written notice. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under the NAB Facility Agreement. Interest expense and fees incurred on the NAB Facility Agreement were $5 thousand$5 and $10 for each of the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, respectively, and $5 and $10 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The Australian Borrower was in compliance with all financial covenants under the NAB Facility Agreement as of March 31,June 30, 2021.

Liquidity Outlook

    As of March 31,June 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $23.2$24.2 million. The Company also has the capability to borrow an additional 4 million Australian dollars under the NAB Facility Agreement. Other than as described above, the Company has no financial guarantees, outstanding debt or other lease agreements or arrangements that could trigger a requirement for an early payment or that could change the value of our assets. The Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its needs through at least the next 12 months, based on the Company's financial position as of March 31,June 30, 2021. The Company's near-term cash requirements during 2021 are primarily related to funding operations. For the full year 2021, the Company expects to make capital expenditures of less than $0.5 million.
    As of March 31,June 30, 2021, $14.3 million of the Company's cash and cash equivalents noted above were held in the U.S. and the remainder were held outside the U.S., primarily in Australia ($1.92.8 million), Switzerland ($1.51.6 million), Hong Kong ($1.5 million), China ($1.2 million), the U.K. ($1.1 million), China ($1.11.0 million), Canada ($0.6 million), Singapore ($0.50.7 million), and BelgiumSingapore ($0.50.6 million). The majority of the Company's offshore cash is available to it as a source of funds, net of any tax obligations or assessments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Contingencies
    From time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to compliance audits by U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign government regulatory, tax, and other authorities relating to a variety of regulations, including wage and hour laws, unemployment taxes, workers' compensation, immigration, and income, value-added, and sales taxes. The Company is also subject to, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, various claims, lawsuits, and other complaints from, for example, clients, candidates, suppliers, landlords for both leased and subleased properties, former and current employees, and regulators or tax authorities. Periodic events and management actions such as business reorganization initiatives can change the number and type of audits, claims, lawsuits, contract disputes, or complaints asserted against the Company. Events can also change the likelihood of assertion and the behavior of third parties to reach resolution regarding such matters.
    The economic conditions in the recent past have given rise to many news reports and bulletins from clients, tax authorities, and other parties about changes in their procedures for audits, payment, plans to challenge existing contracts, and other such matters aimed at being more aggressive in the resolution of such matters in their own favor. The Company believes that it has appropriate procedures in place for identifying and communicating any matters of this type, whether asserted or likely to be asserted, and it evaluates its liabilities in light of the prevailing circumstances. Changes in the behavior of third parties could cause the Company to change its view of the likelihood of a claim and what might constitute a trend. Employment laws vary in the markets in which we operate, and in some cases, employees and former employees have extended periods during which they may bring claims against the Company.
    For matters that reach the threshold of probable and estimable, the Company establishes reserves for legal, regulatory, and other contingent liabilities. The Company’s reserves were $0.0 million as of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be determined, the Company believes that none of the currently pending matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

    The Company conducts operations in various countries and faces both translation and transaction risks related to foreign currency exchange. For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, the Company earned approximately 88%87% of its revenue outside the U.S., and it collected payments in local currency, and paid related operating expenses in such corresponding local currency. Revenues and expenses in foreign currencies translate into higher or lower revenues and expenses in U.S. dollars as the U.S. dollar weakens or strengthens against other currencies. Therefore, changes in exchange rates may affect our consolidated revenues and expenses (as expressed in U.S. dollars) from foreign operations.

    Amounts invested in our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The translation of foreign currency into U.S. dollars is reflected as a component of stockholders' equity and does not impact our reported net income (loss).

    The recent COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted certain currencies compared to the U.S. dollar in the countries where we do business, including in Australia.
