Management Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates affecting the financial statements include allowances for credit losses, goodwill, intangible assets, income taxes, leave liability, and contingent consideration obligations related to acquisitions. Additionally, the valuation of share basedshare-based compensation option expense uses a model based upon interest rates, stock prices, maturity estimates, volatility and other factors. The Company believes these estimates and assumptions are reliable. However, these estimates and assumptions may change in the future based on actual experience as well as market conditions.


The COVID-19 pandemic is already having a significant impact on our economy as a result of stay-at-home orders and business closures designed to stop the spread of the virus. In light of the currently unknown ultimate duration and severity of COVID-19, we face a greater degree of uncertainty than normal in making the judgments and estimates needed to apply the Company’s significant accounting policies. As COVID-19 continues to develop, management may make changes to these estimates and judgments over time, which could result in meaningful impacts to the Company’s financial statements in future periods. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

Financial Instruments
 
The Company uses fair value measurements in areas that include, but are not limited to:to, interest rate swap agreements used to mitigate interest rate risk, and the allocation of purchase price consideration to tangible and identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current assets and liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the bank debt approximates fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rates under the credit agreement with Texas CapitalBMO Harris Bank, National AssociationN.A. (“TCB”BMO”) that providesprovided for a revolving credit facility and term loan and current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and risk.


Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.


Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Concentration of credit risk is limited due to the Company's diverse customerclient partner base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographic locations nationwide. No single customerclient partner accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of September 24, 2017June 28, 2020 and December 25, 201629, 2019 or revenue for the thirty-ninetwenty-six week periods ended September 24, 2017June 28, 2020 (“Fiscal 2020”) and September 25, 2016.June 30, 2019 (“Fiscal 2019”). Geographic revenue in excess of 10% of the Company's consolidated revenue in Fiscal 20172020 and the related percentage for Fiscal 20162019 was generated in the following areas:

Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accountscredit losses for expected losses resulting from customers’client partners’ non-payment of balances due to the Company. The Company’s determination of the allowance for uncollectible amounts is based on management’s judgments and assumptions, including general economic conditions, portfolio composition, prior loss experience, evaluation of credit risk related to certain individual customersclient partners and the Company’s ongoing examination process. Receivables are written off after they are deemed to be uncollectible after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. The Company will continue to actively monitor the impact of COVID-19 on expected credit losses.

Leases
The Company leases all their office space through operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2025. Many of the lease agreements obligate the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance and certain maintenance costs, which are accounted for separately. Certain of the Company’s lease arrangements contain renewal provisions from 1 to 10 years, exercisable at the Company's option. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. All other leases are recorded on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the lease term.

Right of use lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and include options to extend or terminate the lease when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The present value of lease payments is determined primarily using the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date. The Company’s operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Intangible Assets
 
The Company holds intangible assets with indefinite and finite lives. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, ranging from three to ten years, based on a pattern in which the economic benefit of the respective intangible asset is realized.


Identifiable intangible assets recognized in conjunction with acquisitions are recorded at fair value. Significant unobservable inputs are used to determine the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets based on the income approach valuation model whereby the present worth and anticipated future benefits of the identifiable intangible assets are discounted back to their net present value.

The Company capitalizes purchased software and internal payroll costs directly incurred in the modification of software for internal use. Software maintenance and training costs are expensed in the period incurred.


The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company annually evaluates the remaining useful lives of all intangible assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding COVID-19 and its impact on each of the reporting units. Further, the Company assessed the current market capitalization, forecasts and the amount in the 2020 impairment test. As a result of the certain business developments and changes in the Company's long-term projections, the Company concluded a triggering event had occurred that required an interim impairment assessment to be performed. The qualitative assessment thresholds were met on all reporting units except the finance and accounting group. The Company calculated the quantitative impairment test of the finance and accounting group using the relief from royalty method for the indefinite-lived intangible assets and residual method for the definite-lived intangible assets by asset group. In the professional segment, the Company recognized a $3.7 million trade name impairment loss and a $3.5 million client partner list impairment loss during the thirteen week periods ended June 28, 2020.
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is evaluated at the reporting unit level for impairment annually at the end of each fiscal year, or more frequently, if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary. If the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value for one or more reporting units is greater than their carrying value, the Company may use a qualitative assessment for the annual impairment test.

Deferred Financing Fees
 
Deferred financing fees are amortized onusing the effective interest method over the term of the respective loans. Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability.
 
Contingent Consideration


The Company hashad obligations, to be paid in cash, related to its acquisitions if certain future operating and financial goals arewere met. The fair value of this contingent consideration is determined using expected cash flows and present value technique. Prior to Fiscal 2017, the calculation of the fair value of the expected future payments uses a discount rate that approximates the Company's weighted average cost of capital. For acquisitions beginning in Fiscal 2017, based on new valuation methodology, theThe fair value calculation of the expected future payments uses a discount rate that is commensurate with the risks of the expected cash flow. The resulting discount is amortized as interest expense over the outstanding period using the effective interest method.
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company derives its revenues from three3 segments: Multifamily,Real Estate, Professional, and Commercial.Light Industrial. The Company provides temporary staffingworkforce solutions and permanent placement services. Revenues are recognized when promised services are delivered to client partners, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Revenues as presented on the consolidated statements of operations represent services rendered to customersclient partners less sales adjustments and allowances. Reimbursements, including those related to out-of-pocket expenses, are also included in revenues, and equivalentthe related amounts of reimbursable expenses are included in cost of services.


The Company and its customers enter into agreements that outline the general terms and conditions of the staffing arrangement. Revenue is recognized as services are performed and associated costs have been incurred. The Company records revenue from services and the related direct costs on a gross basis in accordance with the accounting guidance on reporting revenue gross as a principal versus on a net basis as an agent.agent in the presentation of revenues and expenses. The Company has concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because the Company (i) has the risk of identifying and hiring qualified field talent, (ii) has the discretion to select the field talent and establish their price and duties and (iii) bears the risk for services that are not fully paid for by client partners.


Temporary staffing revenues - OurField talent revenues are generated based on negotiated rates and invoiced on a per-hour basis. Accordingly, temporary staffing revenuesfrom contracts with client partners are recognized onin the hours workedamount to which the Company has a right to invoice, when the services are rendered by the Company’s temporary workers.field talent.


PermanentContingent placement staffing revenues - Permanent placement staffingAny revenues associated with services that are provided on a contingent basis are recognized once the contingency is resolved, as this is when control is transferred to the client partner, usually when employment candidates start their permanent employment.

Retained search placement staffing revenues - any revenues from these services are recognized based on the contractual amount for services completed to date which best depicts the transfer of control of services, which is less than 1% of consolidated revenues.

The Company estimates the effect of permanent placement candidates who do not remain with its customersclient partners through the guarantee period (generally 90 days) based on historical experience. Allowances, recorded as a liability, are established to estimate these losses. Fees to customersclient partners are generally calculated as a percentage of the new worker’s annual compensation. No fees for permanent placement services are charged to employment candidates. These assumptions determine the timing of revenue recognition for the reported period.

Refer to Note 13 for disaggregated revenues by segment.

Payment terms in the Company's contracts vary by the type and location of its client partner and the services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. There were no unsatisfied performance obligations as of June 28, 2020. There were no revenues recognized during the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2020 related to performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods. There are no contract costs capitalized. The Company did not recognize any contract impairments during the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2020.

Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company recognizes compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses over the service period for options or restricted stock that are expected to vest and records adjustments to compensation expense at the end of the service period if actual forfeitures differ from original estimates.

Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities. Antidilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Since May 2014, the FASB has issued additional and amended authoritative guidance regarding revenue from contracts with customers in order to clarify and improve the understanding of the implementation guidance. As amended, the new guidance requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption. Based on the progress to date, the Company does not believe the adoption of this accounting guidance will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.” which provides more specific guidance related to how companies account for cloud computing costs. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-19, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” to clarify guidance, correct errors and make minor improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) which amends ASC 350-40 to clarify that after ASU 2015-05 is adopted, companies are required to record an intangible asset for the license acquired in a software licensing arrangement. The asset for the software license is required to be recognized and measured at cost. The Company adopted both ASUs on a prospective basis in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification of related amounts within the statement of cash flows. The new standard was effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2017. The Company adopted this ASU on a prospective basis which had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which provides guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the Step 2 procedure from the goodwill impairment test. The new standardguidance is effective for the Company beginning with the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company adopted this ASU in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) contract modifications on financial reporting, caused by reference rate reform. The new guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is still evaluating the impact, but does not anticipateexpect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 willthe standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.


In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting which provides clarification on when modification accounting should be used for changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter 2018. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-09 will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Cash Flow Hedge

In April 2020, the Company entered into a pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swap agreement with BMO that reduces the floating interest rate component on the Term Loan obligation. The $25.0 million notional amount was effective on June 3, 2020 and designed as a cash flow hedge on the underlying variable rate interest payments against a fixed interest rate that terminates on June 1, 2023. In accordance with cash flow hedge accounting treatment, the Company has determined that the hedge is perfectly effective using the change-in-variable-cash-flow method.

The unrealized loss associated with the change in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedging instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company expects to reclassify the interest rate swap from accumulated other comprehensive loss against interest expense in the same period in which the hedge transaction affects earnings. Hedge effectiveness is tested quarterly. As of June 28, 2020, the instrument was perfectly effective and no amounts were reclassed from accumulated other comprehensive loss into income in the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019. See Note 8 for location on the balance sheet.

NOTE 78 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


The accounting standard for fair value measurements defines fair value, and establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value. The standard is applicable whenever assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. The fair value hierarchy established in the standard prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels as follows:
 
Level 1 - Observable inputs - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

18

BG Staffing, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




Level 2 - Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities - includes quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets, and amounts derived from valuation models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs - includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable and require us to develop relevant assumptions.
 
The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level they fall within the fair value hierarchy:

Key inputs in determining the fair value of the interest rate swap as of June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019 are quoted prices from BMO (See Note 7).

The changes in the Level 3 fair value measurements from December 25, 201629, 2019 to September 24, 2017 relateJune 28, 2020 relates to $4.4 million in the Zycron and Smart acquisitions and $0.9 million in accretion.

The Company is not currently a party to any material litigation; however, in the ordinary course of our business the Company is periodically threatened with or named as a defendant in various lawsuits or actions. The principal risks that the Company insures against, subject to and upon the terms and conditions of various insurance policies, areclaims or losses from workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability, property damage, professional liability, employment practices, fiduciary liability, fidelity losses and director and officer liability.

Comparative segment revenues and related financial information are discussed herein and are presented in Note 1213 to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. See “Forward Looking Statements” on page 3 of this report and “Risk Factors” included in our filings with the SEC, including our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2016,29, 2019, for a description of important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected results.
 
Overview
 
We are a leading national provider of professional temporary staffing servicesworkforce solutions and have completed a series of acquisitions including the acquisition of BG Personnel, LP and B G Staff Services Inc. in June 2010, and substantially all of the assets of JNA Staffing, Inc. in December 2010, Extrinsic, LLC in December 2011, American Partners, Inc. in December 2012, InStaff Holding Corporation and InStaff Personnel, LLC in June 2013, D&W Talent, LLC ("D&W") in March 2015, Vision Technology Services, Inc., Vision Technology Services, LLC, and VTS-VM, LLC (collectively, “VTS”) in October 2015, Zycron, Inc. in April 2017, and Smart Resources, Inc. and Accountable Search, LLC in September 2017.2017, and LJK in December 2019, and 100% of the equity of EdgeRock in February 2020. We operate within three industry segments: Multifamily,Real Estate, Professional, and Commercial.Light Industrial. We provide services to customersclient partners primarily within the United States of America. We now have 63operate through 89 branch offices and 1512 on-site locations located across 26 states.44 states and D.C.

The MultifamilyReal Estate segment provides front office and maintenance temporary workersfield talent to various apartment communities and commercial buildings in 2329 states, via property management companies responsible for the apartment communities' and commercial buildings' day-to-day operations. Our Real Estate segment operates through two divisions, BG Multifamily and BG Talent.
 
The Professional segment provides skilled temporary workersfield talent on a nationwide basis for information technology ("IT"(“IT”) and finance, accounting, legal and accounting customerhuman resource client partner projects. Our Professional segment operates through various divisions including Extrinsic, American Partners, Donovan & Watkins, Vision Technology Services, Zycron, Smart Resources, L.J. Kushner & Associates, and EdgeRock Technology Partners.

The CommercialLight Industrial segment provides temporary workersfield talent primarily to manufacturing, distribution, logistics, distribution, and call center customersclient partners needing a flexible workforce in Illinois, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Texas, Tennessee and Mississippi.7 states. Our Light Industrial segment operates through our InStaff division.

Our business experiences seasonal fluctuations. Our quarterly operating results are affected by the number of billing days in a quarter, as well as the seasonality of our customers’client partners’ business. Demand for our MultifamilyReal Estate staffing services typically increase in the second and is highest during the third quarter of the year due to the increased turns in multifamily units during the summer months when schools are not in session. Demand for our CommercialLight Industrial staffing services typically increases during the third quarter of the year and peaks in the fourth quarter. Demand for our Commercial staffing services is lower during the first quarter in part due to customer shutdowns andincreases in the demand for holiday help. Overall demand can be affected by adverse weather conditions in the winter months.months as well as fluctuations in client partner demand. In addition, our cost of services typically increases in the first quarter primarily due to the reset of payroll taxes.
Impact of the recent coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19")

We continue to observe the negative impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our consolidated operating results, our candidate and field talent supply chain, and our client partners demand in all segments. We expect that the social distancing measures, the reduced operational status of our client partners, reductions in production at certain client partners facilities, and general business uncertainty will continue to effect demand in all our segments.

During this uncertain time, our critical priorities are the health and safety of our team members, field talent, candidates and client partners. Starting in March 2020, we took several cost containment and liquidity actions, which we do not believe have materially adversely impacted our internal controls, financial reporting systems or our operations.

Our business, results of operations, and financial condition have been, and may continue to be, adversely impacted in material respects by COVID-19 and by related government actions (including declared states of emergency and quarantine, “shelter in place” orders, or similar orders), non-governmental organization recommendations, and public perceptions, all of which have led and may continue to lead to disruption in global economic and labor markets. These effects have had a significant impact on our business, including reduced demand for our services and workforce solutions, early terminations or reductions in projects, and hiring freezes, and a shift of a majority of our workforce to remote operations, all of which have
24


contributed to a decline in revenues and other significant adverse impacts on our financial results. Other potential impacts of COVID-19 may include continued or expanded closures or reductions of operations with respect to our client partners’ operations or facilities, the possibility our client partners will not be able to pay for our services or workforce solutions, or that they will attempt to defer payments owed to us, either of which could materially impact our liquidity, the possibility that the uncertain nature of the pandemic may not yield the increase in certain of our workforce solutions that we have historically observed during periods of economic downturn, and the possibility that various government-sponsored programs to provide economic relief may be inadequate. Further, we may continue to experience adverse financial impacts, some of which may be material, if we cannot offset revenue declines with cost savings through expense-related initiatives, human capital management initiatives, or otherwise. As a result of these observed and potential developments, we expect our business, results of operations, and financial condition to continue to be negatively affected.

We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our team members, field talent, client partners, and stockholders. The potential effects are not clear for any such alterations or modifications on our business, our client partners, candidates, vendors, or on our financial results.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
We present Adjusted EBITDA (defined below), a measure that is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP)(“non-GAAP”), in this Quarterly Report to provide investors with a supplemental measure of our operating performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure and is used by us to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under GAAP can provide alone. Our board and management also use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expected performance and for evaluating on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such expectations, and as a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain compensation programs and plans for companyour management. In addition, certainthe financial covenants in our Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below)credit agreement are based on this measure.EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement.
 
We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, intangible impairment losses, transaction fees, and otherthe non-capital information technology improvement project (“IT roadmap”) and certain non-cash expenses such as the loss on extinguishment of debt and share-based compensation expense. Omitting interest, taxes and the other items provides a financial measure that facilitates comparisons of our results of operations with those of


companies having different capital structures. Since the levels of indebtedness and tax structures that other companies have are different from ours, we omit these amounts to facilitate investors’ ability to make these comparisons. Similarly, we omit depreciation and amortization because other companies may employ a greater or lesser amount of property and intangible assets. We also believe that investors, analysts and other interested parties view our ability to generate Adjusted EBITDA as an important measure of our operating performance and that of other companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net (loss) income for the periods indicated as a measure of our performance. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
 
The use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from, or as an alternative to, GAAP measures such as net income (loss). income. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity under GAAP or otherwise, and is not an alternative to cash flow from continuing operating activities. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by the expenses that are excluded from that term or by unusual or non-recurring items. The limitations of Adjusted EBITDA include: (i) it does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (ii) it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (iii) it does not reflect income tax payments we may be required to make; and (iv) it does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments associated with indebtedness.
 
To properly and prudently evaluate our business, we encourage you to review our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and the reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA from net (loss) income, the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP, set forth in the following table. All of the items included in the reconciliation from net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA are either (i) non-cash items or (ii) items that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance. In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors may find it useful to assess our comparative operating performance because the measures without such items are less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges and more reflective of other factors that affect operating performance. In the case of the other items that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance, management believes that investors may find it useful to assess our operating performance if the measures are presented without these items because their financial impact may not reflect on-goingongoing operating performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our working capital requirements are primarily driven by temporary workerfield talent payments, tax payments and customerclient partner accounts receivable receipts. Since receipts from customersclient partners lag payments to temporary workers,field talent, working capital requirements increase substantially in periods of growth.


Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with Texas CapitalBMO Harris Bank, National AssociationN.A. (“TCB”BMO”) as amended and restated, that provides for a revolving credit facility maturing April 3, 2022July 16, 2024 (the “Revolving Facility”). Our primary uses of cash are payments to temporary workers, employees,field talent, team members, related payroll liabilities, operating expenses, capital expenditures, cash interest, cash taxes, dividends, and contingent consideration and debt payments. We believe that the cash generated from operations, together with the borrowing availability under our Revolving Facility, will be sufficient to meet our normal working capital needs for at least the next twelve months, including investments made, and expenses incurred, in connection with opening new branches throughout the next year. Our ability to continue to fund these items may be affected by general economic, competitive and other factors, many of which are outside of


our control. If our future cash flow from operations and other capital resources are insufficient to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to obtain additional debt or equity capital or refinance all or a portion of our debt.
 
While we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our current operating requirements and expansion plans, we may elect to pursue additional growth opportunities within the next year that could require additional debt or equity financing. If we are unable to secure additional financing at favorable terms in order to pursue such additional growth opportunities, our ability to pursue such opportunities could be materially adversely affected.
 
The Company has an effective Form S-3 shelf registration statement allowing for the offer and sale of up to approximately $34$13 million of common stock. There is no guarantee that we will be able to consummate any offering on terms we consider acceptable or at all.


During this period of uncertainty of volatility related to COVID-19, we will continue to monitor our liquidity, particularly payments from our client partners.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We are not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.Letter of Credit

In March 2020, in conjunction with the 2020 EdgeRock acquisition, we entered into a standby letter of credit arrangement, which expires December 31, 2024, for purposes of protecting a lessor against default on lease payments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, estimates, assumptions and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements.” Please also refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 201629, 2019 for a more detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and their potential effect on our results of operations and financial condition, refer to Note 2 in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2016.29, 2019.
JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 provides that an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We may elect to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public and private companies until such pronouncements become mandatory for private companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public and private companies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We are exposed to certain market risks from transactions we enter into in the normal course of business. Our primary market risk exposure relates to interest rate risk. 
 
Interest Rates
 
OurA portion of our Revolving Facility and Term Loan are priced at variable interest rates. Accordingly, future interest rate increases could potentially put us at risk for an adverse impact on future earnings and cash flows.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We conducted an evaluation,maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the supervisionSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), ofevaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) andor 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.Act) at June 28, 2020. Based on suchthis evaluation, ourthe CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of such period,that date, our disclosure controls and procedures arewere not effective, at a reasonable assurance level, because of a material weakness in recording, processing, summarizinginternal control over financial reporting, which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures.

Management has identified a deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting, which is related to the quantitative assessment of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. Our management has concluded that we do not maintain effective controls related to the technical aspects of GAAP for testing goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis, information required to be disclosedbasis. Management has determined that the aggregate impact of this deficiency resulted in a material weakness.

The material weakness did not result in any identified misstatements in the current period consolidated financial statements, nor in any restatements of consolidated financial statements previously reported by us, and there were no changes in previously released financial results.

Remediation Steps to Address the Material Weakness

Since identifying the material weakness related to our process of impairment assessment of goodwill and intangible assets, we have been, and are currently in the reports thatprocess of, remediating by taking steps to strengthen the control function related to the financial closing process. These steps include recruiting additional personnel, retaining external expert resources, enhancing the design of certain management review controls and providing training regarding internal control processes. We will continue to enhance controls to ensure the financial closing process is effectively implemented. Although we file or submit underplan to complete this remediation process as quickly as possible, we cannot at this time estimate when the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required toremediation will be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.completed.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
 
ForOther than as described above, for the fiscal quarter ended September 24, 2017,June 28, 2020, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluations required by Rule 13a-15(d) or Rule 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our team members are working remotely due to COVID-19. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.





34


Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
 
Our management, including our CEO and our CFO, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errorerrors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
No change from the information provided in ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2016.29, 2019.


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict. In evaluating us and our common stock, in addition to the risk factor below, we urge you to carefully consider the risks and other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 201629, 2019 (our “2016“2019 Form 10-K”), and filed with the SEC on March 6, 2017. There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our 2016 Form 10-K.12, 2020. Any of the risks discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or any of the risks disclosed in Item 1A. of Part I of our 20162019 Form 10-K, as well as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.


Our business, results of operations, and financial condition have been and may continue to be adversely impacted in material respects by the coronavirus pandemic, and future adverse impacts could be material and difficult to predict.
Our business, results of operations, and financial condition have been, and may continue to be, adversely impacted in material respects by COVID-19 and by related government actions (including declared states of emergency and quarantine, “shelter in place” orders, or similar orders), non-governmental organization recommendations, and public perceptions, all of which have led and may continue to lead to disruption in global economic and labor markets. These effects have had a significant impact on our business, including reduced demand for our services and workforce solutions, early terminations or reductions in projects, and hiring freezes, and a shift of a majority of our workforce to remote operations, all of which have contributed to a decline in revenues and other significant adverse impacts on our financial results. Other potential impacts of COVID-19 may include continued or expanded closures or reductions of operations with respect to our client partners’ operations or facilities, the possibility our client partners will not be able to pay for our services or workforce solutions, or that they will attempt to defer payments owed to us, either of which could materially impact our liquidity, the possibility that the uncertain nature of the pandemic may not yield the increase in certain of our workforce solutions that we have historically observed during periods of economic downturn, and the possibility that various government-sponsored programs to provide economic relief may be inadequate. Further, we may continue to experience adverse financial impacts, some of which may be material, if we cannot offset revenue declines with cost savings through expense-related initiatives, human capital management initiatives, or otherwise. As a result of these observed and potential developments, we expect our business, results of operations, and financial condition to continue to be negatively affected.
