PART I
Business Overview
Resolve Staffing, Inc., (“Resolve” or the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 9, 1998. Integra Staffing, Inc., (“Integra”) is a wholly owned subsidiary that was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on August 16, 1999 (collectively referred to as “Resolve”) and acquired in 2001. The Company is a national provider of outsourced human resource services with approximately 52 offices reaching from California to New York. The Company provides a full range of supplemental staffing and outsourced solutions, including solutions for temporary, temporary-to-hire, or direct hire staffing in the clerical, office administration, customer service, professional and light industrial categories.
On February 7, 2005, Resolve Staffing, Inc., entered into an equity purchase agreement (“Agreement”), to purchase ELS Personnel Services (“ELS”) (the “Combination”) from Employee Leasing Services, Inc., (“ELS Inc.”), a privately-held company located in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and director, Ronald Heineman, is a principal shareholder, officer and director of ELS. Pursuant to the equity purchase agreement, Resolve acquired the ownership interest in the group of companies which comprised ELS Personnel Services, (ELS Personnel Services, LLC, Five Star Staffing, Inc., Five Star Staffing (NY), Inc., and American Staffing Resources, Ltd.) comprising a total of 10 temporary employee staffing locations. See Basis of Presentation section in the notes to the financial statements for discussion of accounting treatment of the acquisition of ELS.
Employee Leasing Services, Inc., operated 3 locations and acquired the 7 temporary employee staffing locations throughout fiscal 2004. ELS Inc. acquired Five Star Staffing, Inc. which consisted of 3 locations, in August 2004, Five Star Staffing (NY), Inc., which consisted of 3 locations, in November 2004 and American Staffing Resources, Ltd which consisted of 1 location , in November 2004. Prior to ELS Inc.’s acquisition of these entities, these entities were owned and operated by unrelated third parties in various locations throughout Florida, New York and Ohio.
In connection with the Combination on February 7, 2005, ELS was deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the Combination was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The acquisition of the ELS entities was treated as a reverse acquisition for financial accounting purposes and therefore the accompanying comparative financial information is that of ELS rather than the historical financial statements of Resolve Staffing, Inc. In conjunction with this transaction, the group of companies known as ELS Personnel Services, which were legally acquired by Resolve Staffing, Inc., changed its name to Resolve Staffing, Inc.
On various dates during 2005, Resolve Staffing, Inc., entered into purchase agreements (“Agreements”), to acquire all of the assets and/or ownership of various separate privately-held entities owned and operated by unrelated parties located throughout the United States. Pursuant to the acquisition agreements, Resolve acquired a total of 31 temporary employee staffing locations from the newly acquired entities. These include:
· | On January 24, 2005, Resolve acquired certain assets from Solaris Staffing, Inc. These assets included the operations of certain temporary staffing offices located in upstate New York. |
· | On February 20, 2005, Resolve acquired SupportStaff Employment Services, a full-service staffing firm located in Sebring, FL. |
· | On May 9, 2005, Resolve acquired certain assets from Pride Staffing, Inc. These assets include a temporary staffing office located in Erie, PA. |
On June 13, 2005 Resolved acquired The Arnold Group, a Southern California staffing firm.
· | On June 20, 2005 Resolve acquired Taylor Personnel Services, Inc., a Buffalo, New York staffing firm. |
· | On August 22, 2005 Resolve acquired Truckers Plus, Inc., a thirteen location truck driver staffing firm headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. |
· | On September 14, 2005 Resolve acquired QRD International Inc. d/b/a Delta Staffing, a Southern California staffing firm. |
· | On September 30, 2005 Resolve acquired Midwest Staffing Inc., a medical staffing firm located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. |
· | On October 21, 2005 Resolve acquired Star Personnel Services of Kentucky, LLC, a Northern KY staffing firm. |
· | On October 31, 2005 Resolve acquired Project Solvers Inc., a temporary and permanent placement firm specific to the fashion, apparel, and design industries, with a New York office. |
· | On November 10, 2005 Resolve acquired ProCare Medical Staffing, LLC, a medical staffing firm with an Illinois office. |
· | On November 28, 2005 Resolve acquired Big Sky Travel Nurses, Inc., a medical staffing firm, with a Montana office. |
· | On December 11, 2005 Resolve acquired Assisted Staffing, Inc., a medical staffing firm with an Arizona office location. |
· | On December 26, 2005 Resolve acquired Pagnard Enterprises, Inc., a temporary staffing firm with an Ohio office. |
· | On December 27, 2005 Resolve acquired Drivers Plus, Inc., a truck driver staffing firm with an office in Missouri. |
· | On December 30, 2005 Resolve acquired Staffpro, Inc., a temporary staffing firm with one office in Kentucky and one office in Ohio. |
Because the owners of ELS held approximately 90% of the Company’s outstanding common stock after the Combination, as well as the Company’s analysis of the other criteria used for determining which entity is the accounting acquirer under SFAS No. 141, ELS is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the Combination has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The audited financial statements of Resolve for each of the two years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 are included in the Resolve Staffing, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2005. The audited financial statements of ELS for the two years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 or such time as the entity was under the control of ELS, Inc. through December 31, 2004 have been included in the Resolve Staffing amended report on Form 8-K pertaining to this acquisition which was filed in December, 2005. In accordance with the accounting treatment described above, the historical financial statements prior to the Combination reflect those of ELS. In conjunction with this transaction, the group of companies known as ELS Personnel Services, which were legally acquired by Resolve Staffing, Inc., changed its name to Resolve Staffing, Inc. The financial information for 2004 includes the combined balances and combined results of operations of the individual entities which comprise ELS. The combined results of operations for the acquired entities include the activities of each entity from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2004.
We plan to continue to grow our business through the acquisition of private companies in the staffing industry that would provide types of staffing and/or related services with which we are familiar. We may seek private staffing companies for acquisitions or strategic alliances both in and out of our current markets. We believe that by acquiring existing staffing companies it will enable us to:
· | recruit well-trained, high-quality professionals; |
· | expand our service offerings; |
· | gain additional industry expertise; |
· | broaden our client base; and |
· | expand our geographic presence. |
On February 22, 2006, Resolve Staffing announced that it has reached an agreement in principle to merge with Employee Leasing Services, Inc. (ELS Inc.), and certain related affiliates. Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. ELS Inc. (www.elshr.com), a professional employer organization (PEO), manages a payroll of over 10,000 worksite employees in over 40 states and has operation and service centers throughout the country. ELS Inc.’s 2005 gross (non-GAAP) revenues were over $200 million, which equates to approximately $39 million in net (GAAP) revenues and $3.5 million in Pretax Profit. Under the terms of the agreement, Resolve will acquire all outstanding shares of ELS Inc. for approximately $3 million in cash, a $7 million note and 1.4 million shares of Resolve common stock. Closing of the transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions and is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2006. Management believes that this transaction will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition if the transaction is completed under the current terms.
We do not currently have any other agreements to acquire any company. While we may prefer to structure potential acquisitions in the form of a stock for stock exchange, we may acquire private companies for a combination of cash and stock. We currently do not have the cash reserves to effect an acquisition, although we would consider entering into some type of financing arrangement to secure the cash needed to effect an acquisition. Since we currently do not have any signed acquisition or financing agreements, the terms of any such acquisition or financing would be speculative. There can be no assurance that required financing will be available on acceptable terms. The principal factors that would effect whether a transaction is solely for stock or a combination of stock and cash are the tax and financial objectives of the prospective sellers. Three major factors in being able to acquire private companies are (1) workers compensation insurance coverage, (2) financing, and (3) an exit strategy for owners of these private companies. We have secured our workers compensation insurance with a major carrier with an excellent modification rate, and are poised to add additional staffing employees cost effectively. Although, except as described above, we have not actively attempted to attract or negotiate with acquisition candidates, we will attempt to secure temporary and permanent financing for the initial cash requirement of a limited number of acquisitions. Management further believes that negotiations with prospective target companies would be most effective once the Company's stock has a public market, of which there is no assurance. Management believes that private companies may be acquired using future payout and not require significant current cash outlay. Any such acquisition may require the issuance of large number of shares of common or preferred stock, which would have a dilutive effect on current shareholders. We do not anticipate that an acquisition of other staffing companies, if any, would result in a change in our control. However, since we cannot predict what the terms of any future acquisition, if any, there could exist a situation in which an acquisition might effect a change of control of our Company. If a change of control should occur, our current management may not be able to implement our current business plan, which could result in a new business plan by the new owners, which business plan may differ or completely deviate from our business plan. Upon a change of control, no assurances can be made of the future direction of our Company. The Company has no intention of becoming a “blank check” company, as defined in Rule 419 of the 1933 Securities Act.
General
The Company is engaged in providing human resource services (which include recruiting, training, and placement of temporary personnel) focusing on the professional, clerical, administrative and light industrial staffing market. As of March 20, 2006 we had approximately 3,000 employees, of whom approximately 2,700 were flexible staffing personnel and 300 were employed in sales, administrative and management capacities. We have approximately 1,000 clients.
Staffing companies such as ours provide one or more of three basic services to clients: (i) flexible staffing; (ii) placement and search; and (iii) outplacement services. The North American staffing market is estimated to range between $80 billion (per Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.) and $97 billion according to Staffing Industry Analysts, Inc. This market includes temporary staffing, permanent placement and other services similar to the Company's for a variety of skills. Also see Development of Business, above.
Company Services
Resolve Staffing focuses on meeting our clients' flexible staffing needs, targeting opportunities in a fragmented; growing market that we believe has been under-served by large, full-service staffing companies. Significant benefits to clients include providing the ability to outsource the recruiting and many logistical aspects of their staffing needs, as well as converting the fixed cost of employees to the variable cost of outsourced services. A summary of our Payroll Administration Services and Aggregation of Statutory and Non-Statutory Employee Benefits Services are as follows:
- PAYROLL ADMINISTRATION SERVICES: We assume responsibility for our employees for payroll and attendant record-keeping, payroll tax deposits, payroll tax reporting, and all federal, state, payroll tax reports (including 941s, 940s, W-2s, W-3s, W-4s and W-5s), state unemployment taxes, employee file maintenance, unemployment claims and monitoring and responding to changing regulatory requirements.
- AGGREGATION OF STATUTORY AND NON-STATUTORY EMPLOYEE BENEFITS SERVICES: We provide workers' compensation and unemployment insurance to our service employees. Workers' compensation is a state-mandated comprehensive insurance program that requires employers to fund medical expenses, lost wages, and other costs that result from work related injuries and illnesses, regardless of fault and without any co-payment by the employee. Unemployment insurance is an insurance tax imposed by both federal and state governments. Our human resources and claims administration departments monitor and review workers' compensation for loss control purposes.
We are the employer of record with respect to flexible staffing services and assume responsibility for most employment regulations, including compliance with workers' compensation and state unemployment laws. As part of our basic services in the flexible staffing market, we conduct a human resources needs analysis for clients and client employees. Such analysis includes reviewing work schedules and productivity data, in addition to recruiting, interviewing, and qualifying candidates for available positions. Based on the results of that review, we recommend basic and additional services that the client should implement.
We provide certain other services to our flexible industrial staffing clients on a fee-for-service basis. These services include screening, recruiting, training, workforce deployment, loss prevention and safety training, pre-employment testing and assessment, background searches, compensation program design, customized personnel management reports, job profiling, description, application, turnover tracking and analysis, drug testing policy administration, affirmative action plans, opinion surveys and follow-up analysis, exit interviews and follow-up analysis, and management development skills workshops.
The focus of our temporary staffing service is to provide short and long term employees as well as temp to hire employees to financially secured employers. The average employee will work a 40 hour work week for a client and will work for an average of 2 employers per month. It is estimated an employee will work an average of 14 days per month. Our service specializes in a variety of staffing fields including medical, truck driver, clerical, and light industrial staffing with the largest percentage in the clerical and light industrial fields. Each applicant is thoroughly interviewed tested and screened to meet the requirements of our customers. For long term and temp to hire positions a large percentage of our customers will interview our candidates and then select the one they believe to be best suited for the position.
Sales and Marketing
We market our flexible staffing services through a combination of direct sales, telemarketing, trade shows and advertising. We have ten full time salespersons.
Clients
Our clients represent a cross-section of the industrial sector, of which no client currently represents more than 5% of our total revenues. We attempt to maintain diversity within our client base in order to decrease our exposure to downturns or volatility in any particular industry, but we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain such diversity or decrease our exposure to such volatility. All prospective clients fill out a questionnaire to help us evaluate workers' compensation risk, creditworthiness, unemployment history, and operating stability. Generally, flexible industrial staffing clients do not sign long-term contracts. We are not dependent on any one customer in any of the markets we serve.
Competition
We compete with many small providers in addition to several large public companies, including Ablest, Inc., Spherion, Adecco, S.A., Kelly Services, Inc., Manpower, Inc., and others. There are limited barriers to entry and new competitors frequently enter the market. Although a large percentage of flexible staffing providers are locally operated with fewer than five offices, most of the large public companies have significantly greater marketing, financial and other resources than us. We believe that by focusing primarily on customer service, we enjoy a competitive advantage over many of our competitors that attempt to provide a broader range of staffing services. We also believe that by targeting regional and local companies, rather than the national companies that are generally being pursued by our competitors; we can gain certain competitive advantages.
We believe that several factors contribute to obtaining and retaining clients in the professional, clerical, administrative, light industrial and technical support staffing market. These factors include an understanding of clients' specific job requirements, the ability to reliably provide the correct number of employees on time, the ability to monitor job performance, and the ability to offer competitive prices. To attract qualified candidates for flexible employment assignments, companies must offer competitive wages, positive work environments, flexibility of work schedules, an adequate number of available work hours and, in some cases, vacation and holiday pay. We believe we are reasonably competitive in these areas in the markets in which we compete, although we cannot assure you that we will maintain a competitive standing in the future.
Industry Regulation
Overview
As an employer, we are subject to federal, state, and local statutes and regulations governing our relationships with our employees and affecting businesses generally, including employees at client worksites. We assume the sole responsibility and liability for the payment of federal and state employment taxes with respect to wages and salaries paid to our employees.
We plan to offer various benefit plans to our worksite employees. These plans include a multiple-employer retirement plan, a cafeteria plan, a group health plan, a group life insurance plan, a group disability insurance plan and an employee assistance plan. Generally, employee benefit plans are subject to provisions of both the Internal Revenue Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Code, the benefit plans must be established and maintained by an employer for the exclusive benefit of the employer's employees. An IRS examination may determine that we were not the employer of our worksite employees under Internal Revenue Code provisions applicable to employee benefit plans. If the IRS were to conclude that we were not the employer of our worksite employees for employee benefit plan purposes, those employees would not have qualified to make tax favored contributions to our multiple-employer retirement plans or cafeteria plan. If such conclusion were applied retroactively, employees' vested account balances, could become taxable immediately, we could lose our tax deduction to the extent the contributions were not vested, the plan trust could become a taxable trust and penalties could be assessed. In such a scenario, we could face the risk of potential litigation by some of our clients. As such, we believe that a retroactive application by the IRS of an adverse conclusion could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
ERISA also governs employee pension and welfare benefit plans. The United States Supreme Court has held that the common law test of employment must be applied to determine whether an individual is an employee or an independent contractor under ERISA. If we were found not to be an employer for ERISA purposes, our employee benefit plans would not be subject to ERISA. As a result of such finding, we and our employee benefit plans would not enjoy the preemption of state law provided by ERISA and could be subject to varying state laws and regulations, as well as to claims based upon state common law.
Workers' compensation
Workers' compensation is a state mandated comprehensive insurance program that requires employers to fund medical expenses, lost wages and other costs resulting from work-related injuries and illnesses. In exchange for providing workers' compensation coverage for employees, employers are generally immune from any liability for benefits in excess of those provided by the relevant state statutes. In most states, the extensive benefits coverage for both medical costs and lost wages is provided through the purchase of commercial insurance from private insurance companies, participation in state-run insurance funds, self-insurance funds or, if permitted by the state, employer self insurance. Workers' compensation benefits and arrangements vary on a state-by-state basis and are often highly complex. In Florida, for instance, employers are required to furnish, solely through managed care arrangements, the medically necessary remedial treatment for injured employees.
Trademarks and Service Marks
We do not have any registered trade or service marks. It is our intention to develop service marks as appropriate and seek federal registration when possible. We have begun the process of registering the mark "Resolve Staffing(TM)", and the name "Resolve Staffing" with a design, and, if federal registration is granted, we intend to develop Resolve Staffing as our brand identity.
Resolve’s headquarters are located at 3235 Omni Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio 45245. In addition to our corporate headquarters, Resolve leases facilities at approximately 52 locations throughout the United States. Our offices are adequate for our present level of operations. In the future we will need additional facilities in which to centralize our accounting, training, human resource, risk management and executive work activities. We anticipate that we will require larger scale data processing and network communication capabilities, which will be needed in order to facilitate the assimilation of acquired companies into our methods of operating and accounting standards, and to provide customers state-of-the-art service and support.
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to currently pending or threatened actions is not expected to materially affect the financial position or results of operations of the Company. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result may arise that may harm our business
There were no submissions of matters to a vote of shareholders in 2005.
On August 20, 2004, the Board of Directors, with a written consent of shareholders, approved a one for five reverse split of the Company's common stock. An Information Statement was mailed on or about November 30, 2004 to the holders of record at the close of business on November 25, 2004, of the common stock, $.0001 par value per share (the "Common Stock") of Resolve Staffing, Inc. (the "Registrant"), in connection with action by written consent to authorize and approve the filing of an amendment to the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation for the purpose of effecting:(i) a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock on a one-for-five basis, with no fractional shares to issue for any uneven or odd number of shares. The Reverse Split shall be accomplished by using rounding up principals rather than issuing any fractional shares of common stock or cash in lieu of fractional shares; (ii) maintaining the par value of the Registrant’s Common Stock at $.0001; and (iii) maintaining the current number of shares of Common Stock the Registrant is authorized to issue at 50,000,000. Members of the Board of Directors and three shareholders owned or had voting authority representing approximately 73% of the total outstanding votes of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company and such votes were sufficient to approve the action on the record date of November 25, 2004. The reverse split took place on December 28, 2004.

The financial information set forth in the following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes included herein under Item 6 of Part II. The results described below are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future period. Certain statements in this discussion and analysis, including statements regarding our strategy, financial performance and revenue sources, are forward-looking information based on current expectations and entail various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.
As discussed above the 2004 amounts represent the combined operations of ELS.
Results of Operations
COMPARISON OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS FOR YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004.
Service revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to 2005 increased from $4,284,006 to $31,138,212, a 627% increase, reflecting an increase in business recovery and our aggressive acquisition and marketing efforts. This growth is also attributable to both growth through acquisition and growth with our existing clients as well as expanding our customer base.
Cost of services increased from $3,567,164 in 2004 to $25,356,038, in 2005, an increase of 611% from the prior year. This increase is attributable to our aggressive sales growth and acquisitions. Our gross margin increased, as a percent of sales, from approximately 17% to approximately 19%. We expect our gross profit margins to increase, as a percent of sales, in the future as we continue to grow our business in higher margin areas such as the truck driver and medical staffing market niches.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“SG&A”) have increased from $759,586 in 2004 to $6,004,356 in 2005. This increase is attributable to our aggressive growth through acquisitions. Resolve has grown into a national provider of staffing services with approximately 52 offices. This increase in SG&A expenses includes marketing, salaries, rents, and various other expenses associated with these locations. These costs have increased from approximately 18% to 19% as a percent of Sales. This increase is attributable to the continued development of our infrastructure to support our growth and as a result of non cash related Amortization of Non Compete Agreements and depreciation.
Interest expense increased from $13,160 in 2004 to $266,140 in 2005. The increase is attributable to increase debt obligations related to our aggressive acquisition strategy. A majority of our debt is through affiliated parties, including Ron Heineman and ELS, Inc. This is discussed in detail in the footnotes to our financial statements.
No provision for income taxes have been reflected or recorded on these financial statements. We incurred a net loss of $488,322 for the year ended December 31, 2005 as a result of the matters discussed above. This represents a $432,418 increase in operating loss from 2004. Losses to date may be used to offset future taxable income, assuming the Company becomes profitable.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a net working capital balance of $2,345,556 and a stockholder’s deficit of $210,220, as of December 31, 2005. Prior to the third quarter of 2005, the Company had incurred losses and has been dependent upon the financial support of stockholders, management and other related parties.
For the year ended December 31, 2005 we incurred a net loss of $488,322. Of this loss, $314,525 did not represent the use of cash. Non-cash expenditures consisted of depreciation of $71,586, stock issuances for services provided to the Company of $58,000, increase in allowance for doubtful accounts of $78,022, and amortization of non compete agreements of $106,917. Changes in accounts receivable, prepaid and other expenses, and bank overdraft, along with decreases in accounts payable, payroll, salary, and other accruals brought the total cash used by operations to $3,691,110. Additionally we used $172,517 to purchase computer equipment, software and office equipment during this period.
Management has successfully obtained additional financial resources, which the Company believes will support operations. These financial resources include financing from both related and non-related third parties, are discussed in the accompanying footnotes to the financial statements. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in continuing operations without additional financing efforts. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may arise as a result of this uncertainty.
The Company expects its operating expenses to increase significantly in the near future as the Company attempts to build its brand and expand itsr customer base. The Company hopes our expenses will be funded from operations and short-term loans from officers, shareholders or others; however, the Company’s operations may not provide such funds and the Company may not be able to obtain short-term loans from officers, shareholders or others. The Company’s officers and shareholders are under no obligation to provide additional loans to the Company.

INVESTORS MAY LOSE THEIR INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK IF, BECAUSE WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS HAVE A LIMITED HISTORICAL BASIS TO JUDGE WHETHER OUR BUSINESS CAN BE SUCCESSFUL
We were incorporated in April 1998, and have been engaged in the staffing business since August 1999. We have a limited operating history upon which an investor may evaluate our business and prospects. Our potential for future profitability must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development, particularly companies in rapidly evolving markets, such as staffing services in general and those catering to small to medium businesses in particular. Since we do not have a lengthy history in the staffing business; therefore, prospective investors do not have a historical basis from which to evaluate our performance.
WE HAVE LOST MONEY IN EACH YEAR SINCE INCEPTION AND MAY NEVER BECOME PROFITABLE.
We have incurred net losses from operations in each year since inception. Our net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 was $488,322 and as of December 31, 2005 had an accumulated deficit of $1,399,217. While we expect to become profitable in 2006, we can not guarantee profitability. We expect our operating expenses to continue to increase as we attempt to build our brand, expand our customer base and make acquisitions. While we expect to be profitable in 2006, to become profitable, we must increase revenue substantially and achieve and maintain positive gross margins. We may not be able to increase revenue and gross margins sufficiently to achieve profitability.
UNLESS WE FIND A NEW WORKING CAPITAL FUNDING SOURCE, WE RISK LOSING EMPLOYEES, CUSTOMERS AND WORKERS' COMPENSATION COVERAGE
We pay our flexible staffing employees on a weekly basis. However, on average, we receive payment for these services from our customers 30 to 60 days after the date of invoice. As we establish or acquire new offices, or as we expand existing offices, we will have increasing requirements for cash to fund these payroll obligations. Our primary sources of working capital funds for payroll related and workers' compensation expenditures have been loans or private placements of securities to individuals, including certain of our shareholders. If we do not obtain an institutional financing source and we are unable to secure alternative financing on acceptable terms, we will lose employees, customers, and may be unable to pay payroll related premiums.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS AND ANY CHANGE IN THESE REGULATIONS, OR THE POSSIBLERETROACTIVE APPLICATION OF THESE REGULATIONS COULD RESULT IN ADDITIONAL TAX LIABILITY
As an employer, we are subject to all federal, state and local statutes and regulations governing our relationships with our employees and affecting businesses generally, including our employees assigned to work at client company locations (sometimes referred to as worksite employees).
OUR EMPLOYEE RELATED COSTS ARE SIGNIFICANT AND, IF INCREASED, AND WE ARE UNABLE TO PASS THESE COSTS ON TO OUR CUSTOMERS, WILL INCREASE OUR COST OF DOING BUSINESS
We are required to pay a number of federal and state payroll taxes and related payroll costs, including unemployment taxes, workers' compensation insurance premiums and claims, Social Security, and Medicare, among others, for our employees. We also incur costs related to providing additional benefits to our employees, such as insurance premiums for health care. Health insurance premiums, unemployment taxes and workers' compensation insurance premiums and costs are significant to our operating results, and are determined, in part, by our claims experience. We attempt to increase fees charged to our customers to offset any increase in these costs, but we may be unable to do so or we may lose customers if we do. If the federal or state legislatures adopt laws specifying additional benefits for temporary workers, demand for our services may be adversely affected. In addition, workers' compensation expenses are based on our actual claims experiences in each state and our actual aggregate workers' compensation costs may exceed estimates.
BECAUSE OUR STAFFERS WORK AT THE CLIENTS' PLACE OF BUSINESS, WE MAY BE EXPOSED TO EMPLOYMENT RELATED CLAIMS AND COSTS THAT ARISE FROM THAT CLIENTS' WORK PLACE LOCATION AND WE DO NOT CONTROL THE CLIENTS' WORKING ENVIRONMENT
Temporary staffing companies, such as ours, employ people in the workplace of their customers. This creates a risk of potential litigation based on claims by customers of employee misconduct or negligence, claims by employees of discrimination or harassment, including claims relating to actions of our customers, claims related to the inadvertent employment of illegal aliens or unlicensed personnel, payment of workers' compensation claims and other similar claims. We may be held responsible for the actions at a job site of workers not under our direct control.
WE MAY LOSE CUSTOMERS IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ATTRACT QUALIFIED TEMPORARY PERSONNEL DUE TO LOW UNEMPLOYMENT RATES AND AN INCREASE IN COMPETITION FOR QUALIFIED TEMPORARY PERSONNEL
We compete with other temporary personnel companies to meet our customer's needs. We must continually attract reliable temporary workers to fill positions and may from time to time experience shortages of available temporary workers. During periods of increased economic activity and low unemployment, the competition among temporary staffing firms for qualified personnel increases. Many regions in which we operate are experiencing historically low rates of unemployment and we have experienced, and may continue to experience, significant difficulties in hiring and retaining sufficient number of qualified personnel to satisfy the needs of our customers. Also, we may face increased competitive pricing pressures during these periods of low unemployment rates.
WE REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FUND OUR CURRENT OPERATIONS AND TO MAKE ACQUISITIONS. WE MAY HAVE TO CURTAIL OUR BUSINESS IF WE CANNOT FIND ADEQUATE FUNDING
The expansion and development of our business will require significant additional capital, which we may be unable to obtain on suitable terms, or at all. We currently have no legally binding commitments with any third parties to obtain any material amount of additional equity or debt financing. If we are unable to obtain adequate funding on suitable terms, or at all, we may have to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of our advertising, marketing, acquisition activity, general operations or any other initiatives.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE AND MANAGE ACQUIRED BUSINESSES WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL EXPENSE OR DELAY WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY OPERATE OUR BUSINESS AND/OR IT MAY DECREASE THE VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK
In the future, we intend to expand our operations through acquisitions of small and medium size private companies, or divisions or segments of major private and public companies. We will do this to:
· | recruit well−trained, high−quality professionals; |
· | expand our service offerings; |
· | gain additional industry expertise; |
· | broaden our client base; and |
· | expand our geographic presence. |
We may not be able to integrate successfully businesses which we may acquire in the future without substantial expense, delays or other operational or financial problems. We may not be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional businesses.
OUR PLAN TO MAKE ACQUISITIONS MAY DIVERT MANAGEMENT'S ATTENTION FROM DAY−TO−DAY BUSINESS OPERATIONS WHICH COULD PREVENT OUR BUSINESS FROM GROWING
If we are able to identify acquisition candidates, management's time and attention will be diverted from such activities as sales, marketing and tailoring staffing solutions to meet customer's needs. If management is not able to address these day−to−day operational tasks, we may lose customers or fail to increase revenue.
ACQUISITION ACTIVITIES MAY CAUSE US TO LOSE EXISTING CUSTOMERS BECAUSE OF CONFLICTS OR SERVICE PROBLEMS
The clients of companies we may acquire may be in the same or similar businesses with our existing clients. Although we do not enter into agreements to restrict the type of business which we service, providing staff services to existing clients' direct competition may cause such existing clients to look elsewhere for staffing services.
OUR PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS WILL OWN A CONTROLLING INTEREST IN OUR
VOTING STOCK AND INVESTORS WILL NOT HAVE ANY VOICE IN OUR MANAGEMENT
Our officers, directors and stockholders with greater than 5% holdings will, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 90% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, will have the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including:
· | election of our board of directors; |
· | removal of any of our directors; |
· | amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; and |
· | adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us. |
As a result of their ownership and positions, our directors and executive officers collectively are able to influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our directors and executive officers, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Management's stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES UNDERLYING OUR WARRANTS THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE AND THE SALE OF THESE SHARES MAY CAUSE THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK TO DROP
As of March 20, 2006, we had 15,619,101 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, which includes 400,000 shares held in escrow as described in Note E to the accompanying financial statements. We also have 4,851,320 shares issuable upon exercise of our warrants and options, which includes the option grant to acquire 4,000,000 shares of Company stock which was made during January 2006. The sale of these shares may cause the market price of our common stock to drop. The issuance of shares upon conversion or exercise of the warrants may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders.
THE APPLICATION OF THE "PENNY STOCK REGULATION" COULD HARM THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK
Our securities may be deemed a penny stock. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. Our securities may be subject to "penny stock rules" that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker−dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker−dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the "penny stock rules" require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker−dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker−dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the "penny stock rules" may restrict the ability of broker−dealers to sell our securities and may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and price of our common stock in the secondary market.
SHOULD WE ENTER INTO AN ACQUISITION IN EXCHANGE FOR THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK, SUCH ISSUANCE MAY HAVE A DILUTIVE EFFECT FOR OUR CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS AND MAY CAUSE THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE
The future issuance of all or part of our remaining authorized but currently unissued common stock in connection with an acquisition may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might cause the price of our common stock to decline.

NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS, LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Resolve Staffing, Inc., (“Resolve” or the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 9, 1998. Integra Staffing, Inc., (“Integra”) is a wholly owned subsidiary that was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on August 16, 1999 (collectively referred to as “Resolve”) and acquired in 2001. The Company is a national provider of outsourced human resource services with 52 offices reaching from California to New York. The Company provides a full range of supplemental staffing and outsourced solutions, including solutions for temporary, temporary-to-hire, or direct hire staffing in the clerical, office administration, customer service, professional and light industrial categories.
On February 7, 2005, Resolve Staffing, Inc., entered into an equity purchase agreement (“Agreement”), to purchase ELS Personnel Services (“ELS”) (the “Combination”) from Employee Leasing Services, Inc., (“ELS Inc.”), a privately-held company located in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and director, Ronald Heineman, is a principal shareholder, officer and director of ELS. Pursuant to the equity purchase agreement, Resolve acquired the ownership interest in the group of companies which comprised ELS Personnel Services, (ELS Personnel Services, LLC, Five Star Staffing, Inc., Five Star Staffing (NY), Inc., and American Staffing Resources, Ltd.) comprising a total of 10 temporary employee staffing locations. See Basis of Presentation section for discussion of accounting treatment of the acquisition of ELS.
Employee Leasing Services, Inc., operated 3 locations and acquired the 7 temporary employee staffing locations throughout fiscal 2004. ELS Inc. acquired Five Star Staffing, Inc. which consisted of 3 locations, in August 2004, Five Star Staffing (NY), Inc., which consisted of 3 locations, in November 2004 and American Staffing Resources, Ltd which consisted of 1 location, in November 2004. Prior to ELS Inc.’s acquisition of these entities, these entities were owned and operated by unrelated third parties in various locations throughout Florida, New York and Ohio.
In connection with the Combination on February 7, 2005, ELS was deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the Combination was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The acquisition of the ELS entities was treated as a reverse acquisition for financial accounting purposes and therefore the accompanying comparative financial information is that of ELS rather than the historical financial statements of Resolve Staffing, Inc. In conjunction with this transaction, the group of companies known as ELS Personnel Services, which were legally acquired by Resolve Staffing, Inc., changed its name to Resolve Staffing, Inc. The financial information for 2004 includes the combined balances and combined results of operations of the individual entities which comprise ELS. The combined results of operations for the acquired entities include the activities of each entity from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2004.
On various dates during 2005, Resolve Staffing, Inc., entered into purchase agreements (“Agreements”), to acquire all of the assets and/or ownership of various separate privately-held entities owned and operated by unrelated parties located throughout the United States. Pursuant to the acquisition agreements, Resolve acquired a total of 31 temporary employee staffing locations from the newly acquired entities. The results of operations for each of the entities below have been included from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2005. These include:
· | On January 24, 2005, Resolve acquired certain assets from Solaris Staffing, Inc. These assets included the operations of certain temporary staffing offices located in upstate New York. |
· | On February 20, 2005, Resolve acquired SupportStaff Employment Services, a full-service staffing firm located in Sebring, FL. |
· | On May 9, 2005, Resolve acquired certain assets from Pride Staffing, Inc. These assets include a temporary staffing office located in Erie, PA. |
· | On June 13, 2005 Resolved acquired The Arnold Group, a Southern California staffing firm. |
· | On June 20, 2005 Resolve acquired Taylor Personnel Services, Inc., a Buffalo, New York staffing firm. |
· | On August 22, 2005 Resolve acquired Truckers Plus, Inc., a thirteen location truck driver staffing firm headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. |

Acquisition of Entities from Unrelated Parties
On various dates during 2005, as described above, Resolve Staffing, Inc., entered into purchase agreements (“Agreements”), to acquire all of the assets and/or ownership of various separate privately-held entities owned and operated by unrelated parties located throughout the United States. Pursuant to the acquisition agreements, Resolve acquired a total of 31 temporary employee staffing locations from the newly acquired entities.
Resolve paid cash, issued common stock, and issued notes payable in the amount of $4,419,881 in exchange for the assets and liabilities of the above staffing entities as described below. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, on the date of acquisition of each entity:

Basis of Presentation
Because the owners of ELS held approximately 90% of the Company’s outstanding common stock after the Combination, as well as the Company’s analysis of the other criteria used for determining which entity is the accounting acquirer under SFAS No. 141, ELS is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the Combination has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The audited financial statements of Resolve for each of the two years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 are included in the Resolve Staffing, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2005. The audited financial statements of ELS for the two years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 or such time as the entity was under the control of ELS, Inc. through December 31, 2004 have been included in the Resolve Staffing, Inc. amended report on Form 8-K pertaining to this acquisition which was filed in December, 2005. In accordance with the accounting treatment described above, the historical financial statements prior to the Combination reflect those of ELS. In conjunction with this transaction, the group of companies known as ELS Personnel Services, which were legally acquired by Resolve Staffing, Inc., changed its name to Resolve Staffing, Inc. The financial information for 2004 includes the combined balances and combined results of operations of the individual entities which comprise ELS. The combined results of operations for the acquired entities include the activities of each entity from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2004.

Liquidity and Management’s Plans
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net working capital balance of $2,345,556 and a stockholder’s deficit of $210,220, as of December 31, 2005. Prior to the third quarter of 2005, the Company had incurred losses and has been dependent upon the financial support of stockholders, management and other related parties.
For the year ended December 31, 2005 the Company incurred a net loss of $488,322. Of this loss, $314,525 did not represent the use of cash. Non-cash expenditures consisted of depreciation of $71,586, stock issuances for services provided to the Company of $58,000, increase in allowance for doubtful accounts of $78,022, and amortization of non compete agreements of $106,917. Changes in accounts receivable, prepaid and other expenses, and financing, along with decreases in accounts payable, payroll, salary, and other accruals brought the total cash used by operations to $3,691,110. Additionally the Company used $172,517 to purchase computer equipment, software and office equipment during this period.
Management has successfully obtained additional financial resources, which the Company believes will support operations. These financial resources include financing from both related and non-related third parties, are discussed in the accompanying footnotes to the financial statements. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in continuing operations without additional financing efforts. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may arise as a result of this uncertainty.
We expect our operating expenses to increase significantly in the near future as we attempt to build our brand and expand our customer base. We hope our expenses will be funded from operations and short-term loans from officers, shareholders or others; however, our operations may not provide such funds and we may not be able obtain short-term loans from officers, shareholders or others. Our officers and shareholders are under no obligation to provide additional loans to us.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at 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.
The Company provides for workers' compensation, health care insurance and unemployment taxes related to its employees. A deterioration in claims experience could result in increased costs to the Company in the future. The Company records an estimate of any existing liabilities under these programs at each balance sheet date. The Company's future costs could also increase if there are any material changes in government regulations related to employment law or employee benefits.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for 2005 include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in preparing the accompanying financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Staffing and managed service revenue and the related labor costs and payroll are recorded in the period in which services are performed. The Company follows Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent,” in the presentation of revenues and expenses. This guidance requires Resolve to assess whether it acts as a principal in the transaction or as an agent acting on behalf of others. In situations where Resolve is the principal in the transaction and has the risks and rewards of ownership, the transactions are recorded gross in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS, LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Stock Based Employee Compensation
Resolve accounts for and reports its stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the intrinsic value method as prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No, 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation (“FIN 44”), and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure (“SFAS 148”). Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options are measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant over the stock option exercise price. Resolve accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”). Under SFAS 123, stock option awards issued to non-employees are accounted for at their fair value on the date issued, where fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing method.
There are no differences between the historical and pro-forma stock based compensation value.
Accounts Receivable
Resolve's trade accounts receivable result from the sale of its services, and consist primarily of private companies. Resolve uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts. Bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $88,483 and $6,300 respectively. The Company’s policy for determining when receivables are past due is 31 days after original invoice date. The Company’s policy for charging off uncollectible accounts receivable requires approval of the Chief Financial Officer, after reviewing Corporate Credit recommendation in consultation with the specific branch involved, determining that the debt has little, if any chance, of being collected.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially expose Resolve to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable.
Resolve's trade accounts receivable result from the sale of its services to customers, and customers consist primarily of private companies. In order to minimize the risk of loss from these private companies, credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation of its customers, and account monitoring procedures are utilized. Collateral is not generally required. Management analyzes historical bad debt, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends, and changes in customer payment tendencies, when evaluating the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of December 31, 2005, no customer accounted for 10% or more of gross accounts receivable and no customer accounted for 10% or more of the net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2004, no customer accounted for 10% or more of gross accounts receivable and no customers accounted for 10% or more of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004.
The Company is obligated to pay the salaries, wages, related benefit costs, and payroll taxes of worksite employees. Accordingly, the Company's ability to collect amounts due from customers could be affected by economic fluctuations in its markets or these industries.
Financial Instruments
Resolve estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at December 31, 2005 and 2004 do not differ materially from the aggregate carrying value of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying balance sheets.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and include expenditures, which substantially increase the useful lives of existing property and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred.
Depreciation of property and equipment is computed primarily using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives (furniture and fixtures, 6 to 7 years, office equipment 5 to 7 years, and computers and software, 3 to 5 years). Depreciation for income tax purposes is computed principally using the straight line method and estimated useful lives.

Advertising Costs
Advertising costs, except for costs associated with direct-response advertising, are charged to operations when incurred. The costs of direct-response advertising are capitalized and amortized over the period during which future benefits are expected to be received. Resolve did not have direct-response advertising costs during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Total advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $311,376 and $24,533, respectively.
Stock Split
On December 28, 2004, the Company initiated a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock on a 1 for 5 basis. The Company maintained the par value of the Company’s common stock at $.0001 and also maintained the number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue at 50,000,000.
Income Tax
Resolve records its federal and state income tax liability in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". Deferred taxes are provided for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statements and income tax purposes, using current tax rates. Deferred tax assets represent the expected benefits from net operating losses carried forward and general business credits that are available to offset future income taxes.
Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock for each period presented. The weighted average number of shares excludes 851,320 common stock equivalents, representing warrants and stock options, since the effect of including them would be anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective as of December 31, 2004, the Company adopted the revised interpretation of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” (FIN 46-R). FIN 46-R requires that certain variable interest entities be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The Company does not have any investments in entities it believes are variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R). SFAS No. 123R revised SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R will require compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statement (with limited exceptions). The amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award.
In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted a new rule that amends the compliance dates for SFAS No. 123R. The Statement requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements and that this cost be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123R covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006 and is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s results of operations.

In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB No. 107”), Share-Based Payment, providing guidance on option valuation methods, the accounting for income tax effects of share-based payment arrangements upon adoption of SFAS No. 123R, and the disclosures in MD&A subsequent to the adoption. The Company will provide SAB No. 107 required disclosures upon adoption of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006 and is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the SAB will have on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets- An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Early application is permitted and companies must apply the standard prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Errors Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FAS No. 3. The Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impractical. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No.154 improves the financial reporting because its requirements enhance the consistency of financial reporting between periods. SFAS No.154 is not expected to have any effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This statement resolves issues addressed in FAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets. SFAS No. 155: (a) permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; (b) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133; (c) establishes a requirement to evaluate beneficial interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; (d) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and, (e) eliminates restrictions on a qualifying special-purpose entity's ability to hold passive derivative financial instruments that pertain to beneficial interests that are or contain a derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 also requires presentation within the financial statements that identifies those hybrid financial instruments for which the fair value election has been applied and information on the income statement impact of the changes in fair value of those instruments. The Company is required to apply SFAS No. 155 to all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a remeasurement event beginning January 1, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 155 to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Notes payable—related party includes borrowings of $91,500 from William Brown, a director and shareholder. The underlying note bears interest at 5% and was due on March 31, 2004. The Company has a verbal agreement to extend the maturity date on a month-to-month basis.
On December 8, 2003, the Company entered into a non-interest bearing short-term credit agreement with ELS, Inc., that provides for borrowings of up to $200,000. ELS, Inc. is a company owned by Ronald Heineman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The underlying promissory note is secured by 400,000 shares of common stock that were released to an escrow agent, but not issued for accounting or reporting purposes. As of December 31, 2005, Resolve had a balance of $5,873,936 outstanding, which includes the note payable for the purchase of ELS of $1,500,000. Balances due under the credit agreement were originally due May 8, 2004, but the agreement was extended on a month-to-month basis, and provided for an additional $100,000 in borrowings. On June 1, 2004, the agreement was amended to extend the line to a maximum of $500,000. During 2005, the agreement was extended for an additional 18 months, becoming due March 31, 2007 with interest due at 3% per annum, and the maximum amount was increased on a case by case basis upon review.
On December 29, 2003, Resolve entered into a six month consulting agreement with Ronald Heineman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to provide Resolve with the following services: development of a business plan and strategic marketing plan; enhancement of the Company’s revenue base through the recruitment of additional staffing personnel; development of an acquisition based growth plan; development and implementation of an investor relations strategy; the provision of back office administrative and sales support; as well as day to day management oversight of the Company’s personnel.

NOTE F - INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in recognizing certain income and expense items for financial and tax reporting purposes. The deferred tax asset of $157,000 as of December 31, 2005 consisted primarily of the income tax benefits from net operating losses. A valuation allowance has been recorded to fully offset the deferred tax asset as the Company believes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be utilized. Significant components of the benefit for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2005 are as follows:
| | 2005 |
Current | |
| Federal | $ - |

At December 31, 2005, the Company had federal tax net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $457,000. The federal and state tax loss carry forwards will begin to expire in 2015, unless previously utilized.
At December 31, 2005 and 2004, no deferred tax assets or liabilities were recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

On August 16, 2004, Aidman, Piser and Company ("APC"), the Registrant's independent auditors, notified the Registrant that they were resigning from the client-auditor relationship with the Registrant effective as of that date.

APC was engaged by Registrant to serve as the Registrant's independent auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The report of APC with respect to the Registrant's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 was modified for the uncertainty surrounding our ability to continue as a going concern. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and the period from December 31, 2003 through the date of APC's resignation, there were no disagreements between the Registrant and APC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of APC, would have caused APC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on the Registrant's financial statements for such year.
As stated in APC's resignation letter dated August 16, 2004, a review of the Registrant's Forms 10-QSB for the first and second quarter of the current year has not been completed. As a result, the Registrant's previously issued financial statements for the first quarter of 2004 and the financial statements to be issued for the second quarter of 2004 were subsequently reviewed by the Registrant's new auditors.
