1. | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses of Cross Country Talent Acquisition Group, LLC, which is controlled by the Company but not wholly-owned. The Company records the ownership interest of the noncontrolling shareholder as noncontrolling interest in subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all entries necessary for a fair presentation of such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. These entries consisted of all normal recurring items.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for complete financial statements. These operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.2020.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 20182019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Liquidity and Operations
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company made $12.5 million in optional debt prepayments during the first half of 2019 and, as a result, no further debt payments are required through December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in its Credit Agreement, which consist of leverage, fixed charge coverage, and asset coverage ratios. Based on the terms of the Credit Agreement, the fixed charge coverage ratio does not permit the Company to reflect the impact of debt prepayments made during 2019. As of June 30, 2019, the Company believes its financial results, based upon its projections as well as the further cost actions it can take, will be sufficient to maintain compliance with the financial covenants and meet its obligations for the next twelve months. In the event actual results differ significantly from current projections, the Company believes it would be able to either amend its Credit Agreement in conjunction with making additional prepayments, repay its existing senior term loan with other sources of liquidity, or refinance its senior debt entirely.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management has assessed various accounting estimates and other matters, including those that require consideration of forecasted financial information, in context of the unknown future impacts of the current global outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) using information that is reasonably available to the Company at the time. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) the valuation of accounts receivable; (2) goodwill, trade names, and other intangible assets; (3) other long-lived assets; (4) share-based compensation; (5) accruals for health, workers’ compensation, and professional liability claims; (6) valuation of deferred tax assets; (7) purchase price allocation; (8) fair value of the interest rate swap agreement; (9) legal contingencies; (10) contingent considerations; (11)(8) income taxes; and (12)(9) sales and other non-income tax liabilities. Accrued insurance claims and reserves include estimated settlements from known claims and actuarial estimates for claims incurred but not reported. Based on current assessment of these estimates there was not a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. However, as additional information becomes available to the Company, its future assessment of these estimates, including management's expectations at the time regarding the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, as well as other factors, could materially and adversely impact the Company's consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Restructuring Costs
The Company considers restructuring activities to be programs whereby it fundamentally changes its operations, such as closing and consolidating facilities, reducing headcount, and realigning operations in response to changing market conditions.
As a result, restructuring costs on the consolidated statements of operations primarily include on-going benefit costs for its employees, exitemployee termination costs and other costs including write-offs related to abandoned locations.lease-related exit costs.
Effective January 1, 2019, in conjunction with the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), described below, certain office locations that the Company vacated in connection with restructuring activities were included in the measurement of its beginning operating lease liabilities. Previous accruals related to these locations of $0.3 million have been presented as a reduction to the operating lease right-of-use assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Reconciliation of the on-going benefitemployee termination costs and lease-related exit costs beginning and ending liability balance is presented below:

________________
(a) Aside from what is presented in the table above, restructuring costs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 also include $0.2 million of legal entity reorganization costs and $0.2 million of ongoing lease costs related to the Company's strategic reduction in its real estate footprint which are included as operating lease liabilities - current and non-current in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
As of the beginning of the second quarter of 2019,Effective January 1, 2020, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - GoodwillChanges to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license).benefits. The Company has adopted this guidance prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption with no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2019,As of the beginning of the first quarter of 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 842)326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires that,the use of a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivable, loans, and other financial instruments. The guidance requires a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as lessee, leases, as defined by the standard, are to be recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and as lease liabilities. The Company elected not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases (leases with terms of twelve months or less), and to apply the transition method, which is applied prospectively, measuring and recognizing the initial right-of-use asset and liability at January 1, 2019, without revising comparative period information or disclosure. In addition, the Company elected the package of transition provisions available for expired or existing contracts, which allowed the Company to forego assessment of: (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification, and (3) initial direct costs. Consistent with current accounting, all of the Company's existing leases identified under ASC 840 will be treated as operating leases.beginning of the first reporting period in which it is effective. The Company has also electedadopted this guidance using the practical expedientmodified retrospective approach related to not separate non-lease components from the lease componentsits accounts receivable, resulting in no cumulative adjustment to which they relate,retained earnings and instead account for each as a single lease component, for all ofno material impact on its underlying asset classes. Accordingly, all expenses associated with a lease contract are accounted for as lease expenses.
As of the later of January 1, 2019 or each lease’s respective commencement date, the Company recorded lease liabilities equal to the present value of its remaining minimum lease payments and right-of-use assets equal to the corresponding lease liability adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments and the remaining balance of lease incentives received. At the transition date, the right of use asset and total lease liabilities were $22.0 million and $28.6 million, respectively.

The added Levels VI and VII result in an increase in the Applicable Margin for borrowing from their respective prior Levels by 25 basis points for each and an increase of 5 basis points to the Commitment Fee for each; (3) adds an additional financial covenant for the quarters ending March 31, 2019 through and including the quarter ending December 31, 2019, that requires the Consolidated Asset Coverage Ratio to be no less than 1.10:1.00; and (4) lowers the Aggregate Revolving Commitments from $115 million to $75 million through the exercise of a $40 million Optional Reduction.
The Second Amendment has beenamendment was treated as a modification and accordingly, the fees of $0.6 million paid to the Company'sits lenders in connection with the amendment are includedwere classified as $0.3 million of debt issuance costs associated with the revolving credit agreement, and $0.3 million ascosts.
As a reduction to the carrying amountresult of the term loan. The fees will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the arrangement. In addition, in the three months ended March 31, 2019, $0.3 million of debt issuance costs was written off due to the reduction in borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility, which is includedas well as the reduction in loss on early extinguishment on the consolidated statement of operations.
On March 29, 2019 and June 28, 2019, the Company made optional prepayments of $7.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, on its Term Loan, which have been allocatedterm loan due to the next consecutive scheduled quarterly payments resulting in the next seven and a portion of the eighth payment being prepaid. As a result,prepayment in the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2019, an additional $0.1$0.4 million of debt issuance costs were written off. The amount of the write-off is reflected as loss on early extinguishment of debt on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Applicable Margin, as of any date, is a percentage per annum determined by reference to the applicable Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined by the agreement) in effect on such date.
As of June 30, 2019, the Amended Term Loan and Amended Revolving Credit Facility borebe paid, together with interest at a rate equal to One Month LIBOR plus 3.00%. The interest rate is subject to an increase of 2.00% if an event2% per annum, accruing from April 1, 2020, on January 31, 2022. As of default exists underMarch 31, 2020, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the average daily unusedcurrent portion of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, based on the Applicable Margin which is 0.45% as of June 30, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to reduce its exposure to fluctuationsnote payable in the interest rates associated with its debt, which was effective April 2, 2018. See Note 9 - Derivative.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and affirmative covenants. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary negative covenants, subject to some exceptions, on: (i) indebtedness and preferred equity, (ii) liens, (iii) fundamental changes, (iv) investments, (v) restricted payments, and (vi) saleamount of assets and certain other restrictive agreements. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, such as payment defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency, the occurrence of a defined change in control and the failure to observe the negative covenants and other covenants related to the operation of the Company’s business.
In addition to the Consolidated Total Leverage ratio and the Consolidated Asset Coverage ratio mentioned previously, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also includes a financial covenant of a minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage ratio (as defined therein) as of the end of each fiscal quarter of 1.50:1.00. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by all of the Company’s domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries and are secured by a first-priority security interest in the Collateral (as defined therein).
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $20.6$4.9 million letters of credit outstanding, which relate to the Company’s workers’ compensation and professional liability insurance policies.
9. DERIVATIVE
The Company has an interest rate swap agreement that, at initiation, effectively fixed the interest rate on 50% of the amortizing balance of the Company’s term debt, exclusive of the credit spread on the debt. The interest rate swap agreement requires the Company to pay a fixed rate to the respective counterparty of 2.627% per annum on an amortizing notional amount corresponding with the initial term loan payment schedule, and to receive from the respective counterparty, interest payments based on the applicable notional amounts and 1 month USD LIBOR, with no exchanges of notional amounts. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the interest rate swap is treated as a cash flow hedge and its fair value of a $1.2 million liability and a $0.2 million liability, respectively, is included in other current liabilities and the long-term portion of $2.4 million is included in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
8. LEASES
sheets. As of June 30, 2019, $0.4 million is expected to be reclassified from other comprehensive loss to interest expense related to the interest rate swap. See Note 11 - Fair Value Measurements.
The Company has lease contracts related to the rental of office space, housing for its healthcare professionals on assignments, and other equipment rentals. The Company's lease population included in the recognition of its beginning right-of-use asset and lease liabilities under the Leases Topic of the FASB ASC is substantially related to the rental of office space. The Company enters into lease agreements as lessee for the rental of office space for both its corporate and branch locations that may include options to extend or terminate early. Many of these real estate leases require variable payments of property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance, in addition to base rent. The variable portion of these lease payments is not included in the right-of-use assets or lease liabilities. Rather, variable payments, other than those dependent upon an index or rate, are expensed when the obligation for those payments is incurred and are included in lease expense in selling, general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. These leases do not include residual value guarantees, covenants, or other restrictions. Certain of the leases have provisions for free rent months during the lease term and/or escalating rent payments. In addition,payments and, particularly for the Company’s longer-term leases for its corporate offices, it has received incentives to enter into the leases such as receiving up to a specified dollar amount to construct tenant improvements. These lease incentives resulted in deferred rent credits. Upon adoption of the Leases Topic of the FASB ASC, these deferred rent credits reduced the beginning operating right-of-use asset recognized and, consistent with the prior guidance will be recognized as a reduction to future rent expense over the expected remaining term of the respective leases.leases do not include residual value guarantees, covenants, or other restrictions.
The Company determines whether an arrangement constitutes a lease and records lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on its consolidated balance sheets at lease commencement. Lease liabilities are measured based on the present value of the total lease payments not yet paid discounted based on its incremental borrowing rate, as the rate implicit in the lease is not determinable. Its incremental borrowing rate is estimated based on what it would be required to pay for a collateralized borrowing equal to the total lease payments over the term of the lease. As such, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on an analysis of publicly traded debt securities of companies with credit and financial profiles similar to its own. Right-of-use assets are measured based on the corresponding lease liability adjusted for: (i) payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, (ii) initial direct costs, and (iii) tenant incentives under the lease. Rent expense commences when the lessor makes the underlying asset available to us. The Company does not assume renewals or early terminations unless it is reasonably certain to exercise these options at commencement. For short-term leases, rent expense is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

11. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:
The Company’s financial assets/liabilities required to be measured on a recurring basis were its: (1) deferred compensation asset included in other non-current assets; (2) deferred compensation liability included in other long-term liabilities; (3) interest rate swap agreement included in other current and other long-term liabilities; and (4)(3) contingent consideration liabilities included inas other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities.contingent consideration on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Deferred compensation—The Company utilizes Level 1 inputs to value its deferred compensation assets and liabilities. The Company’s deferred compensation assets and liabilities are measured using publicly available indices, as per the plan documents.
Interest rate swap agreement—The Company utilized Level 2 inputs to value its interest rate swap agreement. See Note 8 - Debt and Note 9 - Derivative.
Contingent consideration liabilities—Potential earnout payments related to the acquisition of Mediscan arewere contingent upon meeting certain performance requirements through 2019. The long-term portion of these liabilities has been included in other long-term liabilities,contingent consideration, and the short-term portion is included in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company utilized Level 3 inputs to value these contingent consideration liabilities as significant unobservable inputs were used in the calculation of their fair value. As of December 31, 2019, due to the end of the earnout period, the Company measured the fair value of the liability based on the expected payout related to its Mediscan acquisition. In the first quarter of 2020, the total earnout amounts related to 2019 of $7.4 million was determined, and $0.1 million was paid by the Company. The Mediscan contingent consideration liability has beenremaining $7.3 million was documented as a subordinated promissory note payable and is included in other current and other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets which is not measured at fair value usingon a discounted cash flow model in a Monte Carlo simulation setting, utilizing significant unobservable inputs, including the expected volatility of the acquisitions' gross profits and an estimated discount rate commensurate with the risks of the expected gross profit stream.recurring basis. See Note 47 - Acquisitions.Debt.
The fair value of contingent consideration and the associated liabilities will be adjusted to fair value at each reporting date until actual settlement occurs, with the changes in fair value and related accretion reflected as acquisition-related contingent consideration on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Significant increases (decreases) in the volatility or in any of the probabilities of success, or decreases (increases) in the discount rate would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value, respectively, and commensurate changes to these liabilities.
The table which follows summarizes the estimated fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis:

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis:
The Company's non-financial assets, such as goodwill, trade names, other intangible assets, right-of-use assets, and property and equipment, are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. During an evaluation of goodwill, trade names, and other intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2018, the carrying value of goodwill and trade names in the Physician Staffing reporting unit exceeded their fair values. As a result, the Company recorded impairment charges that incorporated fair value measurements based on Level 3 inputs. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company eliminated certain of its brands as part of a rebranding strategy. As a result, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred impairment charges related to its trade names in Nurse and Allied Staffing. See Note 76 - Goodwill, Trade Names, and Other Intangible Assets.

Concentration of Credit Risk:
The Company has invested its excess cash in highly-rated overnight funds and other highly-rated liquid accounts. The Company is exposed to credit risk associated with these investments, as the cash balances typically exceed the current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limit of $250,000. The Company minimizes its credit risk relating to these positions by monitoring the financial condition of the financial institutions involved and by primarily conducting business with large, well established financial institutions and diversifying its counterparties.
The Company generally does not require collateral and mitigates its credit risk by performing credit evaluations and monitoring at-risk accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s estimate of uncollectible receivables based on a review of specific accounts and the Company’s historical collection experience. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company writes off specific accounts based on an ongoing review of collectability as well as past experience with the customer. TheThe Company’s contract terms typically require payment between 15 to 60 days from the date of invoice and are considered past due based on the particular negotiated contract terms. Overall, based on the large number of customers in differing geographic areas, primarily throughout the United States and its territories, the Company believes the concentration of credit risk is limited.

12. CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation, claims, investigations, and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. These matters primarily relate to employee-related matters that include individual and collective claims, professional liability, tax, and payroll practices. The Company establishes reserves when available information indicates that a loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. These assessments are performed at least quarterly and are based on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant management judgment to determine the probability and estimated amount of potential losses, if any. Based on the available information considered in its reviews, the Company adjusts its loss contingency accruals and its disclosures as may be required. Actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from those estimated by the Company's current assessments, including available insurance recoveries, which would impact itsthe Company's profitability. Adverse developments in existing litigation claims or legal proceedings involving the Company or new claims could require itmanagement to establish or increase litigation reserves or enter into unfavorable settlements or satisfy judgments for monetary damages for amounts in excess of current reserves, which could adversely affect itsthe Company's financial results. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded $1.6 million in legal settlement charges related to the resolution of a medical malpractice lawsuit, as well as a 2019 California wage and hour class action settlement agreement which remains subject to court approval. The Company believes the outcome of any outstanding loss contingencies as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In October 2019, the Company received a grand jury subpoena directed to Advantage On Call whose assets were purchased by Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. in 2017. The subpoena appears to relate to an investigation of home healthcare services and healthcare staffing services. The Company is cooperating with the investigation.
Sales and Other State Non-Income Tax Liabilities
The Company's sales and other state non-income tax filings are subject to routine audits by authorities in the jurisdictions where it conducts business in the United States which may result in assessments of additional taxes. The Company accrues sales and other non-income tax liabilities based on the Company's best estimate of its probable liability utilizing currently available information and interpretation of relevant tax regulations. Non-incomeGiven the nature of the Company's business, significant subjectivity exists as to both whether sales and other state non-income taxes can be assessed on its activity and how the sales tax will ultimately be measured by the relevant jurisdictions. The Company makes a determination for each reporting period whether the estimates for sales and other non-income taxes in certain states should be revised. The expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on itsin the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and the liability is reflected in sales tax payable within other current liabilities as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, on2019, in its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As a result of the Company's valuation allowance on substantially all of its domestic deferred tax rateassets, income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 was primarily impacted by international and state taxes.

On the basis of this evaluation, an additionalCompany had a valuation allowance of $36.0 million$37.3 million.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had valuation allowances of $37.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The June 30, 2019 valuation allowance applied to all domestic deferred tax assets other than certain deferred tax assets expected to be realized. The December 31, 2018 valuation allowance applied to the uncertainty of the realization of certain state net operating losses.
As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $0.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, ($6.2$6.3 million, net of deferred taxes, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized).

Summary of Operations
For the quarter ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, revenue from services decreased 1%increased 8% year-over-year to $202.8$210.1 million, driven primarily by lower volumes and partially offset by favorable mixdue to a higher volume of travel nurse staffing, and higher average bill rates. The increase in revenue was partially offset by revenue declines in our local staffing and education healthcare services primarily driven by the changing landscape in March from the COVID-19 pandemic. Profitability in the first quarter was impacted by higher compensation$0.6 million of restructuring costs, which drove lower bill-pay spreads, as well as lower operating leverage from the overall revenue decline. Also, in the second quarter$0.7 million of 2019, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $14.5 millionaccelerated amortization expense in connection with our rebranding efforts,initiative, and we recorded income tax expense$0.5 million of $35.8 millioncosts incurred related to establish valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets.applicant tracking system replacement. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $51.7$2.1 million, or a loss of $1.44$0.06 per share.
For the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we generated cash flow from operating activities of $25.1$17.2 million and made optional debt prepaymentsrepaid a net of $12.5$3.3 million on our Term Loan.senior-secured asset-based credit facility (ABL). Due to the uncertainty from COVID-19, as a precautionary measure we opted to hold more cash than we might have otherwise. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had $24.8$12.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, and availability under the ABL of $119.0 million, with $67.6 million of borrowings drawn under our ABL, and $19.6 million of undrawn letters of credit outstanding, leaving $31.8 million available for borrowing.
COVID Response
Early in March, we experienced an increase in demand for crisis assignments from our customers as a principal balanceresult of $71.4 million outstandingthe COVID-19 pandemic impacting the U.S. Beginning in March and continuing into the second quarter, we have placed more than a thousand nurses on COVID-19 assignments with the majority going to our MSP partners in hot spots such as New York and Washington. As these assignments typically require higher compensation to the healthcare professionals, we have seen higher than normal average bill rates. Since late in the first quarter, the Company has experienced both positive and negative impacts on its business including a significant number of crisis assignments as well as the cancellation of non-COVID-19 assignments by
certain facilities due to low census and deferred elective procedures. Additionally, since mid-March 2020, schools have remained closed and as a result we are seeing a sharp decline in revenue from our education business that is being partially offset by teletherapy services for the same clients. Overall, demand remains volatile, as orders initially surged due to the crisis needs, and have since trended downward as clients have reduced their contingent labor based on their unique situations.
As part of our COVID-19 response, we established a cross-functional crisis team with representation from all parts of our business to ensure rapid response to our customers’ needs. As a result of the mandated shelter in place orders, our more than 1,600 employees were successfully able to work from home with minimal disruption. Generally, travel has been suspended and we have altered the way we communicate through the increased use of videoconferencing. Our response to this pandemic has helped us identify better ways to execute our client-facing and back-office operations which we expect to benefit from as we move forward.
While the impact on the first quarter was not considered significant for us, indications are that our second quarter’s results will be subject to more volatility. Due to the uncertainty across the healthcare industry, we are unable to predict the overall impact on our Term Loan,business for the second quarter. As the country resumes normal operations as part of the phased in recovery, however, we expect demand for these services to rebound in the second quarter. We are proactively working with our customers to address their crisis needs, as well as to plan for the recovery of their normal operations.
We believe our liquidity remains high as we have taken steps to preserve cash, ending the quarter with cash of $12.6 million and there were no amounts drawn$31.8 million available for borrowing. In addition, we do not expect the future impacts of COVID-19 to have a significant impact on our ability to maintain compliance with our financial covenants under our revolving credit facility.
We had a very successful experience with our employees working remotely while the shelter in place orders remain in effect with minimal disruption. We believe the combination of the successful first quarter launch of Cross Country Marketplace, our proprietary on-demand staffing platform, and the ability of our employees to efficiently work remotely will allow us to greatly reduce our office footprint throughout the country. We also remain on target for full implementation of our applicant tracking system in the third quarter of 2020, which we believe will create further efficiencies. Finally, we continue to evaluate our cost structure and have taken steps in the second quarter to realize additional cost savings through further centralization and automation efforts.

Operating Metrics
We evaluate our financial condition by tracking operating metrics and financial results specific to each of our segments. Key operating metrics include hours worked, days filled, number of FTEs, revenue per FTE, and revenue per day filled. Other operating metrics include number of open orders, candidate applications, contract bookings, length of assignment, bill and pay rates, and renewal and fill rates, number of active searches, and number of placements. These operating metrics are representative of trends that assist management in evaluating business performance. Some of the segment financial results analyzed include revenue, operating expenses, and contribution income. In addition, we monitor cash flow as well as operating and leverage ratios to help us assess our liquidity needs.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
We have been exposed to interest rate risk associated with our debt instruments which have had interest based on variable rates. As of March 31, 2020, we are exposed to the risk of fluctuation in interest rates relating to our outstanding senior secured term loanABL Credit Agreement (ABL) entered into on August 1, 2017 withOctober 25, 2019. Our ABL charges us interest at a variable interest rate. As a result,rate based on either LIBOR or Base Rate (as defined) plus an applicable margin.
In March 2018, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement, which initially fixed the interest rate on 50% of the amortizing balance ofon our term debt, exclusive of the credit spread on the debt. We have determined that theThe interest rate swap qualifiesqualified as a cash flow hedge in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815, the Derivatives and Hedging. See Note 9 - Derivative Topic of the FASB ASC and the resulting changes in fair value of the interest rate swap were recorded to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Excludingother comprehensive (loss) income and reclassified to interest expense over the impactlife of the term debt. In September 2019, in anticipation of entering into the ABL, we terminated our interest rate swap agreements, aagreement.
A 1% change in interest rates on our variable rate debt would have resulted in interest expense fluctuating approximately $0.8$0.2 million and $0.5 million for both the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and June 30, 2018, respectively.excluding the impact of the interest rate swap agreement. Considering the effect of our interest rate swap agreement in a 1% change in interest rates on our variable rate debt would have resulted in approximately $0.1 million change in interest expense fluctuating approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2019. See Note 7 - Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Refer to our Form 10-K Item 1A. Risk Factors under "The interest rates under our ABL Credit Agreement may be impacted by the phase-out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)" for discussion of the interest rate risk related to the potential phase-out of LIBOR in 2021.
Other Risks
There have been no material changes to our other exposures as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. The disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports required under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in order to allow timely decisions regarding any required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842, Leases. We implemented internal controls and we are utilizing a new lease accounting information system to enable the preparation of financial information as part of the adoption. There were no significant changeshave not experienced any material impact to our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our employees are working remotely due to the adoption ofCOVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the new standard.

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation, claims, investigations, and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. These matters primarily relate to employee-related matters that include individual and collective claims, professional liability, tax, and payroll practices. The Company establishes reserves when available information indicates that a loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. These assessments are performed at least quarterly and are based on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant management judgment to determine the probability and estimated amount of potential losses, if any. Based on the available information considered in its reviews, the Company adjusts its loss contingency accruals and its disclosures as may be required. Actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from those estimated by the Company's current assessments, including available insurance recoveries, which would impact its profitability. Adverse developments in existing litigation claims or legal proceedings involving the Company or new claims could require it to establish or increase litigation reserves or enter into unfavorable settlements or satisfy judgments for monetary damages for amounts in excess of current reserves, which could adversely affect its financial results. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded $1.6 million in legal settlement charges related to the resolution of a medical malpractice lawsuit, as well as a 2019 California wage and hour class action settlement agreement which remains subject to court approval. The Company believes the outcome of any outstanding loss contingencies as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In October 2019, the Company received a grand jury subpoena directed to Advantage On Call whose assets were purchased by the Company in 2017. The subpoena appears to relate to an investigation of home healthcare services and healthcare staffing services. The Company is cooperating with the investigation.

ITEM 1A. | ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS |
The below Risk Factor
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, careful consideration should be considered along with our Risk Factors as previously disclosed given to the factors discussed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors”in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019, all of which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described herein and therein are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, also may adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The below Risk Factor has been updated to reflect the heightened impact of the COVID-19 pandemic since we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. As described herein, the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our business and financial results and may also have the effect of exacerbating many of the other risks described in this section and in the “Risk Factors”section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Our operations and financial results have been and may continue to be negatively affected by the current ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and could be materially harmed by COVID-19 or the emergence and effects related to any other pandemics, epidemics, or other public health crisis.
Our operations and financial results have been and may continue to be adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and changes in national or global economic conditions related thereto.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, certain of our healthcare professionals have been exposed, diagnosed and or quarantined as a result of the virus. If, as a result of such risks, our healthcare professionals do not want to, or are not able to provide services, it could negatively impact our supply and ability to provide staffing services to our customers. In addition, patients have canceled or deferred elective procedures or otherwise avoided medical treatment resulting in reduced census at our hospital customers. Additionally, healthcare facilities, such as ambulatory surgi-centers and other outpatient facilities, have been shut down temporarily. This has resulted in the cancellation of certain of our healthcare professionals (e.g. operating room nurses, physical therapists, surgeons, advanced practitioners, and many others) working at those facilities or under contract to provide services at those facilities in the future. In addition, the normal operations of our healthcare facility customers may be disrupted and impacted in ways that are difficult to predict and their financials could be adversely affected. This would not just negatively impact our staffing and workforce solutions business, but would also have an adverse effect on our search businesses (contingent, permanent, and retained) as healthcare customers may delay making decisions for executives, physicians, nurses, and other full-time staff. In addition to the negative impact on demand from our hospital and healthcare facility customers, school closures in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic have had an adverse impact on our school staffing.
The interest rates underfinancial impact to our Amendedhealthcare customers from COVID-19 or any other pandemic, epidemic, outbreak of an infectious disease or other public health crisis may also impact their ability to pay for our services timely or altogether, including invoices for services provided prior to such an event that were in process. Such a failure to pay for our services timely or altogether would have an impact on our collections, resulting in a negative financial impact on our Company.
Finally, while we have disaster plans in place for all of our locations and Restated Credit Agreement and related interest rate swap may be impacted bywe are able to operate remotely, the phase-outpotential continuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).
LIBORCOVID-19 pandemic, or the emergence of another pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak is the basic rate of interest useddifficult to predict and could adversely affect our operations. In particular, our operations are headquartered in lending between banks on the London interbank marketSouth Florida and is widely usedif our employees are working remotely as a reference for setting the interest rates on loans globally. We generally use LIBOR asresult of a reference rate to calculate interest under both our Amendedpublic health crisis during hurricane season and Restated Credit Agreementelectricity, wi-fi and our hedging agreement. In 2017, the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. It is unclear if LIBOR will cease to exist at that time or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, is considering replacing U.S. dollar LIBOR with a new index, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), calculated using short-term repurchase agreements backed by Treasury securities. Whetherother resources are temporarily restricted or not SOFR, or another alternative reference rate, attains market traction as a LIBOR replacement tool remains in question. If LIBOR ceases to exist, we will need to agree upon a replacement reference rate with the banks underavailable, it could negatively impact our Amendedoperations and Restated Credit Agreement and related hedging agreement, and amend the agreements accordingly. The new rates may not be as favorable to us as those in effect prior to any LIBOR phase-out.financial results.
