PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This prospectus summary contains a summary of information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, especially the risks of investing in the securities discussed under "Risk Factors", and the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements under the Financial Statements section beginning on page F-1 prior to making an investment decision.
About Us
Resolve Staffing, Inc. (“Resolve” or the “Company”), headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a national provider of outsourced human resource services with approximately 74 offices reaching from California to New York. Resolve provides a full range of supplemental staffing and outsourced solutions, including solutions for temporary, temporary-to-hire, or direct hire staffing in the medical, truck driver, clerical, office administration, customer service, professional and light industrial. Moreover, with the merger with ELS, Resolve now manages a PEO payroll of over 10,000 worksite employees in over 40 states with operations and service centers throughout the country. Resolve Staffing now provides turn key human resource management services to help its small-business clients tackle increased complexities associated with the employment aspect of their businesses. These services include payroll processing, employee benefits and administration, workers' compensation coverage, effective risk management and workplace safety programs.
Our Business
The Company 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 is 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 Market
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 two 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.

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.
Employees
As of the date of this prospectus, we provided payroll and PEO (“Professional Employer Organization”) services for over 10,000 PEO employees and employed a temporary staff of over 4,000 temporary employees. In addition, we have approximately 250 corporate employees.
Typical Client
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.
Our Offices
Resolve’s headquarters are located at 3235 Omni Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio 45245. Our telephone number is 800-894-4250.
In addition to our corporate headquarters, Resolve leases facilities at approximately 74 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.

RISK FACTORS
This offering and an investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the notes to those statements, before you purchase any Common Stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, could negatively impact our business, results of operations or financial condition in the future. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develops into actual events, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be adversely affected. In those cases, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Relating to Our Business
We compete with numerous larger competitors, many of which are better financed and have a stronger presence in the industry than ourselves.
As many of these firms have significantly stronger name recognition than ourselves, they are in a position to quickly attract clients which are in need of services thus adversely impacting our potential pool of clients. Our marketing structure is not proprietary and it would not be difficult for a company to offer similar services. Further, entry into the marketplace by new competitors is relatively easy especially considering their existing presences and their greater resources for financing, advertising and marketing.
Any significant economic downturn could result in Resolve’s clients using fewer temporary employees, which would materially adversely affect Resolve’s business.
Because demand for temporary personnel services is sensitive to changes in the level of economic activity, Resolve’s business may suffer during economic downturns. As economic activity begins to slow down, companies tend to reduce their use of temporary employees before undertaking layoffs of their regular employees, resulting in decreased demand for temporary personnel. Significant declines in demand, and thus in revenues, can result in expense de-leveraging, which would result in lower profit levels.
The staffing services industry is highly competitive with limited barriers to entry, which could limit Resolve’s ability to maintain or increase its market share or profitability.
The staffing services market is highly competitive with limited barriers to entry, and in recent years has been undergoing significant consolidation. Resolve competes in markets throughout North America with full-service and specialized temporary service agencies. Several of Resolve’s competitors, including Adecco S.A., Vedior N.V., Randstad Holding N.V. and Kelly Services, Inc., have very substantial marketing and financial resources. Price competition in the staffing industry is intense and pricing pressures from competitors and customers are increasing. Resolve expects that the level of competition will remain high in the future, which could limit its ability to maintain or increase its market share or 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.
Government regulations may result in prohibition or restriction of certain types of employment services or the imposition of additional licensing or tax requirements that may reduce Resolve’s future earnings.
The temporary employment industry is heavily regulated. Within the United States, wherein the Company now operates, Resolve operates may have to adjust to:
• | additional regulations that prohibit or restrict the types of employment services that Resolve currently provides; |
• | the imposition of new or additional benefit requirements; |
• | requirements that require Resolve to obtain additional licensing to provide staffing services; or |
• | Increases in taxes, such as sales or value-added taxes, payable by the providers of staffing services. |
Any future regulations may have a material adverse effect on Resolve’s financial condition, results of operations and liquidity because they may make it more difficult or expensive for Resolve to continue to provide staffing services .
Page 9
Resolve’s acquisition strategy may have a material adverse effect on its business due to unexpected or underestimated costs.
Resolve has completed a series of acquisitions during 2005-2006 of smaller and less capitalized temporary staffing services competitors and its current plan is to continue with this acquisition strategy in the future although no assurance or guaranty can be given that Resolve will make further acquisitions. Resolve’s acquisition strategy involves significant risks, including:
• | difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, services and corporate culture of acquired companies; |
• | over-valuation by Resolve of acquired companies; |
• | insufficient indemnification from the selling parties for legal liabilities incurred by the acquired companies prior to the acquisitions; and |
• | diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns. |
These risks could have a material adverse effect on Resolve’s business because they may result in substantial costs to Resolve and disrupt Resolve’s business. In addition, future acquisitions could materially adversely affect Resolve’s business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity because they would likely result in the incurrence of additional debt or dilution, contingent liabilities, an increase in interest expense and amortization expenses related to separately identified intangible assets. Possible impairment losses on goodwill and restructuring charges could also occur.
Intense competition may limit Resolve’s ability to attract, train and retain the qualified personnel necessary for Resolve to meet its customers’ staffing needs.
Resolve depends on its ability to attract and retain qualified temporary personnel who possess the skills and experience necessary to meet the staffing requirements of its clients. Resolve must continually evaluate and upgrade its base of available qualified personnel through recruiting and training programs to keep pace with changing client needs and emerging technologies. Competition for individuals with proven professional skills, particularly employees with accounting and technological skills, is intense, and Resolve expects demand for such individuals to remain very strong for the foreseeable future. Qualified personnel may not be available to Resolve in sufficient numbers and on terms of employment acceptable to Resolve. Developing and implementing training programs require significant expenditures and may not result in the trainees developing effective or adequate skills. Resolve may not be able to develop training programs to respond to its clients’ changing needs or retain employees whom it has trained. The failure to recruit, train and retain qualified temporary employees could materially adversely affect Resolve’s business because it may result in an inability to meet its customers’ staffing needs.
Resolve may be exposed to employment-related claims and costs and other litigation that could materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Resolve is in the business of employing people and placing them in the workplaces of other businesses. Risks relating to these activities include:
• | claims of misconduct or negligence on the part of Resolve’s employees; |
• | claims by Resolve’s employees of discrimination or harassment directed at them, including claims relating to actions of its clients; |
• | claims related to the employment of illegal aliens or unlicensed personnel; |
• | payment of workers’ compensation claims and other similar claims; |
• | violations of wage and hour requirements; |
• | retroactive entitlement to employee benefits; |
• | errors and omissions of Resolve’s temporary employees, particularly in the case of professionals, such as accountants; and |
• | claims by Resolve’s clients relating to its employees’ misuse of client proprietary information, misappropriation of funds, other criminal activity or torts or other similar claims. |
Resolve may incur fines and other losses or negative publicity with respect to these problems. In addition, some or all of these claims may give rise to litigation, which could be time-consuming to its management team and costly and could have a negative impact on its business. Resolve cannot assure you that it will not experience these problems in the future or that its insurance will be sufficient in amount or scope to cover any of these types of liabilities.
Page 10
Resolve cannot assure you that its insurance will cover all claims that may be asserted against it. Should the ultimate judgments or settlements exceed its insurance coverage, they could have a material effect on Resolve’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Resolve also cannot assure you that it will be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future or that adequate replacement policies will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
If Resolve loses its key personnel, then its business may suffer.
Resolve’s operations are dependent on the continued efforts of its officers and executive management. In addition, Resolve is dependent on the performance and productivity of its local managers and field personnel. Resolve’s ability to attract and retain business is significantly affected by local relationships and the quality of service rendered. The loss of those key officers and members of executive management who have acquired significant experience in operating a staffing service may cause a significant disruption to Resolve’s business. Moreover, the loss of Resolve’s key managers and field personnel may jeopardize existing client relationships with businesses that continue to use its staffing services based upon past relationships with these local managers and field personnel. The loss of such key personnel could materially adversely affect Resolve’s operations, because it may result in an inability to establish and maintain client relationships and otherwise operate its business.
The price of Resolve’s common stock may fluctuate significantly, which may result in losses for investors.
The market price for Resolve’s common stock has been and may continue to be volatile. For example, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the prices of Resolve’s common stock as reported on the OTCBB ranged from a high of $3.26 to a low of $.09. Resolve’s stock price can fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, including factors listed in these “Risk Factors” and others, many of which are beyond Resolve’s control. These factors include:
• | actual or anticipated variations in Resolve’s quarterly operating results; |
• | announcement of new services by Resolve or Resolve’s competitors; |
• | announcements relating to strategic relationships or acquisitions; |
• | changes in financial estimates or other statements by securities analysts; and |
• | changes in general economic conditions. |
Because of this volatility, Resolve may fail to meet the expectations of its shareholders or the public marketplace, and its stock price could decline as a result.
Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our Shareholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our Shareholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. There is no assurance that Shareholders will be able to sell shares when desired or that when they chose to do so, that they will receive a return on their investment in the Common Stock.
Risks Related to this Offering
We are controlled by a limited number of Shareholders, which will limit your ability to influence key decisions.
Immediately after this offering, our executive officers and directors will, in the aggregate, beneficially own 62.34% of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock, assuming all Warrants are fully exercised and assuming that we complete the offer and sale of Common Stock on a continuous or delayed basis. As a result, these Shareholders will have the ability to exercise substantial control over our affairs and corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including electing and removing directors, selling all or substantially all of our assets, merging with another entity or amending our articles of incorporation. This de facto control could be disadvantageous to our other Shareholders with interests that differ from those of the control group, if these Shareholders vote together. For example, the control group could delay, deter or prevent a change in control even if a transaction of that sort would benefit the other Shareholders. In addition, concentration of ownership could adversely affect the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our securities.
As a public company, our administrative costs will be significantly higher than they are now, which will make it more difficult for us to be profitable and cash flow positive. Difficulties in complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other legal and accounting requirements applicable to public companies could affect our market value.
Page 11
As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the Commission, have imposed various new requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. Expenses as a result of our being a public company include additional amounts for legal and accounting services, transfer agent fees, additional insurance costs, printing and filing fees and fees for investor and public relations.
If we do not maintain an effective registration statement or comply with applicable state securities laws, you may not be able to exercise the Warrants.
In order for you to be able to exercise the Warrants which are now outstanding, the underlying shares of Common Stock must be covered by an effective registration statement and qualify for an exemption under the securities laws of the state in which you live. We cannot assure you that we will continue to maintain a current registration statement relating to the offer and sale of the Common Stock underlying the Warrants, or that an exemption from registration or qualification will be available throughout their term. This may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.
Future sales or the potential for sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock could cause the trading price of our Common Stock to decline and could impair our ability to raise capital through subsequent equity offerings.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public markets, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our stock to decline and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. Once this offering is completed, we will have 18,792,741 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and will have approximately an additional 5,000,000 million shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance as follows:
· | 2,000,000 shares in the aggregate underlying the Warrants; and |
· | 3,000,000 shares reserved for issuance under our plan to offer Common Stock to the public on a delayed and continuous basis. |
The Common Stock included in the number of shares to be sold in this offering as well as the Common Stock underlying the Warrants, other than those shares held by “affiliates,” as defined by the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act will be freely tradable without restriction.
The existence of outstanding options and warrants may impair our ability to obtain additional equity financing.
The existence of outstanding options and warrants may adversely affect the terms at which we could obtain additional equity financing. The holders of these options and warrants have the opportunity to profit from a rise in the value or market price of our Common Stock and to exercise them at a time when we could obtain equity capital on more favorable terms than those contained in these securities.
Management has broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering. We may use the proceeds of this offering in ways that do not improve our operating results or the market value of our securities.
We will have broad discretion in determining the specific uses of the proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock. While we have general expectations as to the allocation of the net proceeds of this offering, that allocation may change in response to a variety of unanticipated events, such as differences between our expected and actual revenues from operations or availability of commercial financing opportunities, unexpected expenses or expense overruns or unanticipated opportunities requiring cash expenditures. We will also have significant flexibility as to the timing and the use of the proceeds. As a result, investors will not have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information on which we base our decisions on how to use the proceeds. You will rely on the judgment of our management with only limited information about their specific intentions regarding the use of proceeds. We may spend most of the proceeds of this offering in ways with which you may not agree. If we fail to apply these funds effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

We may issue shares of preferred stock in the future, which could depress the price of our stock.
Our corporate charter authorizes us to issue shares of “blank check” preferred stock. Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares, as well as the authority to issue such shares, without further shareholder approval. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our common stock, and the right to the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. To the extent that we do issue such additional shares of preferred stock, the rights of the holders of our Common Stock and other securities could be impaired thereby, including, without limitation, with respect to liquidation.
We may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce investors' percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.
Our corporate charter authorizes the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The future issuance of Common Stock 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 have an adverse effect on any trading market for our Common Stock.
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.
Purchasers in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value.
The offering price for the Common Stock is substantially higher than the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our outstanding Common Stock. As a result, investors purchasing our Common Stock in this offering may incur immediate dilution of $2.19 per share or 73%, based on an assumed offering price of $3.00 per share. As a result of this dilution, investors purchasing Common Stock from us will have contributed 55% of the total amount invested with us but will own only 20.7% of our outstanding Common Stock. In addition, the exercise of outstanding options and warrants and future equity issuances may result in further dilution to investors and current Shareholders.
The timing and amount of capital requirements are not entirely within our control and cannot accurately be predicted and as a result, we may not be able to raise capital in time to satisfy our needs.
If capital is required, we may require financing sooner than anticipated. We have no commitments for financing, and we cannot be sure that any financing would be available in a timely manner, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Further, any equity financing could reduce ownership of existing Shareholders and any borrowed money could involve restrictions on future capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters. If we were unable to obtain financing as needed, we could become insolvent and be subject to bankruptcy proceedings.
We may not be able to raise sufficient capital or generate adequate revenue to meet our obligations and fund our operating expenses.
Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate sales revenues to meet our obligations and develop and sustain our operations could result in our having to curtail or cease operations. Additionally, even if we do raise sufficient capital and generate revenues to support our operating expenses, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable us to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations.
Our Common Stock is subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the Commission and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
Page 13
The Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
· | that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and |
· | the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. |
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
· | obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and |
· | make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
· | sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and |
· | that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our Common Stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
We require additional capital to fund our current operations and to make acquisitions. We may have to curtail our business if we can not 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.
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 January 9, 2007, we had 18,792,741 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, which excludes 400,000 shares held in escrow as described in Note E to the accompanying financial statements. We also have 2,843,820 shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, which includes the Warrants granted to acquire 2,000,000 shares of Company Stock which was granted on October 1, 2006 and 843,820 outstanding stock warrants which are due to expire on June 30, 2007. The sale of these shares of Common Stock may cause the market price of our stock to drop. The issuance of shares upon conversion or exercise of the Warrants may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other Shareholders.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We are registering 3,000,000 shares of our Common Stock pursuant to the registration rights granted to the Selling Shareholders in our September 26, 2006 private placement. The Company will not receive any part of the proceeds of the resale of the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock currently held by the Selling Shareholders, nor will the Company receive any of the proceeds of the resale of any Common Stock received by the Selling Shareholders to the extent that they exercise their Warrants to purchase additional Common Stock. However, the Company will receive the exercise price for the exercise of the Warrants. The proceeds of the sale of the 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock registered in this offering, based on the assumptions set forth below, will be received by the Company and allocated as follows:
The principal purposes of this offering are to provide us with capital that will allow us:
· | to implement expansion of additional products and services; |
· | for recruitment of new customers to expand our growth and revenue; |
· | to continue the Company’s growth strategy through selected acquisition opportunities; |
· | to pay existing debt; and |
· | to increase working capital. |
Page 15
Assuming a public offering price of $3.00 per share for the shares of Common Stock being offered on a delayed or continuous basis, considering the exercise price of the Warrants that are outstanding, after deducting the estimated expenses of this offering, and other estimated offering expenses of $46,000, we estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $13,954,000. On the basis of these assumptions, we anticipate the net proceeds of the offering to be allocated as follows:
Use of Proceeds | Approximate Amount | Approximate Percentage |
Acquisition Opportunities | $5,000,000 | 35.83% |
Repayment of existing debt | 5,000,000 | 35.83% |
Working Capital | 3,954,000 | 28.34% |
Total | $13,954,000 | 100.00% |
The offering price has no relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earnings per share. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business and potential business expansion. The offering price was determined arbitrarily.
The Company’s common stock is traded on the OTCBB market under the symbol "RSFF." The OTCBB is maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) and is a electronic medium consisting of a network of securities dealers who buy and sell stocks. The following table sets forth the high and low bid prices per share of our Common Stock during the Company’s three most recent fiscal years. These prices may represent inter-dealer quotations without retail markups, markdowns, or commissions and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

DILUTION
If you purchase shares in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the excess of the public offering price per share of Common Stock over the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Common Stock after this offering. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For purposes of the dilution computation and the following tables, we have allocated the exercise price of the shares of Common Stock being purchased upon exercise of the Warrants and no consideration for the Warrants.
At September 30, 2006, we had a pro forma net tangible book value of approximately $5,511,789, or approximately $0.29 per share based on a weighted average of 19,158,613 shares issued and outstanding on a pro forma basis. After taking into account the estimated net proceeds from this offering of $13,954,000, our net tangible book value at September 30, 2006 would have been approximately $19,465,789, or $0.81 per share. This represents an immediate increase of $0.52 per share to existing Shareholders and immediate dilution of $2.19 per share, or 73%, to the new investors who purchase Common Stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:
Page 16
Assumed initial public offering price per share | $3.00 |
Net tangible book value per share at September 30, 2006 | $5,511,789 |
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors | $13,954,000 |
Net tangible book value per share after the offering | $0.81 |
Dilution per share to new investors | $2.19 |
The following table summarizes as of December 31, 2006 the differences between the existing shareholders and the new investors with respect to the number of shares purchased, the total consideration paid and the average price per share paid:
Shares Purchased | Total Consideration | ||||
Number | Percentage | Amount | Percentage | Average Price Per Share | |
Founders, executive officers and directors | 14,422,634 | 60.62% | 808,746 | 4.96% | 0.06 |
Other existing shareholders | 4,370,107 | 18.37% | 1,500,000 | 9.20% | 0.34 |
New Investors | 5,000,000 | 21.01% | 14,000,000 | 85.84% | 2.80 |
Total | 23,792,741 | 100.00% | 16,308,746 | 100.00% | 0.69 |
DIVIDEND POLICY
Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future on our shares of Common Stock. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. Payment of future dividends on our Common Stock will be subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be contingent on future earnings, if any, our financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends on our Common Stock will ever be paid.
CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of September 30, 2006:
l | on an actual basis; |
l | on a pro forma as adjusted basis to give effect to the sale of 3,000,000 shares of our Common Stock offered by us in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $2.96 per share, the closing sale price per share of our Common Stock as reported on the OTCBB on January 31, 2007, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us; and on a pro forma as adjusted basis to give effect to the sale of 2,000,000 shares of our Common Stock offered by us in this offering at the exercise price set forth in the Warrants which are exercisable for the purchase of Common Stock underlying the Warrants. |

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Shareholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on the OTCBB or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
· | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
· | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
· | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
· | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
· | privately negotiated transactions; |
· | to cover short sales made after the date that this registration statement is declared effective by the Commission; |
· | broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
· | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
· | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
· | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Shareholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The Selling Shareholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of Selling Shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Shareholders under this prospectus.
Page 18
Upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Shareholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Common Stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Shareholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of Common Stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Shareholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of Common Stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
The Selling Shareholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of the Common Stock will be paid by the Selling Shareholders and/or the purchasers. Each Selling Shareholder has represented and warranted to the Company that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of such Selling Shareholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such Selling Shareholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.
The Company has advised each Selling Shareholder that it may not use shares registered on this registration statement to cover short sales of Common Stock made prior to the date on which this registration statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission. If a Selling Shareholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the Common Stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Shareholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M as applicable to such Selling Shareholders in connection with resales of their respective shares under this registration statement.
The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which appear elsewhere in this prospectus. It contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly under the heading “Risk Factors.”
Overview
The Company entered into a reverse acquisition transaction between ELS Personnel Services, Inc. (“ELS”) and Resolve Staffing, Inc. on February 7, 2005. Prior period amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows reflect the balances of ELS only as ELS is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes.
Results of Operations
COMPARISON OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 AND 2005.
Our net income increased from $69,374 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $903,841, an $834,467 increase for three months ended September 30, 2006. A discussion of our results of operations is as follows:
Revenues for three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 2006 increased from $8,913,453 to $43,703,819 or a 390% increase. This increase is attributable to several acquisitions Resolve has completed. In addition, Resolve has opened several new locations and created additional organic growth. As of September 30, 2006, Resolve operated approximately 67 staffing locations throughout the United States.
Our cost of services increased from $7,373,319 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $38,268,759 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This increase was largely due to the increased revenues as noted above. However, as a percentage of revenue, our cost of services increased from 82.7% in 2005 to 87.6% in 2006. This increase in our cost of sales is attributable to changes in our sales mix. In addition to standard staffing services, Resolve also offers human resource outsourcing services, such as payroll processing. While our staffing margins continue to remain constant, the increase in revenues attributable to payroll processing, which has lower margins, causes our costs of sales to increase, as a percent of sales. We expect our gross profit margins for staffing services 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. However, as we continue to increase revenues from other services, such as payroll processing, we expect overall gross margins to continue to fluctuate.
Resolve expects to see continuing improvement in operating results as both existing acquisitions and organic growth are integrated over the remainder of the year. We expect to have a competitive advantage by offering a turnkey Human Resource Outsourcing (HRO) product line. This competitive advantage should enable Resolve to significantly increase its business opportunities with both existing customers and in new markets. Resolve expects this favorable trend to be realized in the later part of 2006 as the acquisitions are consolidated and synergies are realized.
Page 20
Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“SG&A”) have increased from $1,437,002 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $4,252,762 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This increase is attributable to our aggressive growth through acquisitions and opening of new locations. Resolve has grown into a national provider of staffing services with approximately 67 offices from coast to coast. This increase in SG&A expenses includes marketing, salaries, rents, and various other expenses associated with these locations, as well as corporate overhead and infrastructure to support the locations. These costs have decreased from approximately 16.1% to 9.7% as a percent of Sales. This decrease is attributable to the relatively fixed nature of some of the expenses. SG&A also includes non cash related items such as amortization of non-compete agreements and depreciation.
Interest expense increased from $33,758 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $278,457 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. 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 income of $903,841 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 as a result of the matters discussed above. This represents an $834,467 increase in operating profit from the three months ended September 30, 2005. Losses to date may be used to offset future taxable income, assuming the Company becomes profitable.
Resolve has historically experienced fluctuations in its quarterly operating results and expects such fluctuations to continue in the future. The Company's operating results may fluctuate due to a number of factors such as seasonality, wage limits on statutory payroll taxes, workers' compensation, demand and competition for the Company's services and the effect of acquisitions. The Company's revenue levels may fluctuate from quarter to quarter primarily due to the impact of seasonality in the staffing industry. As a result, the Company may have greater revenues and net income in the third and fourth quarters of its fiscal year. Payroll taxes and benefits fluctuate with the level of direct payroll costs, but tend to represent a smaller percentage of revenues and direct payroll later in the Company's fiscal year as federal and state statutory wage limits for unemployment and social security taxes are exceeded by some employees. Workers' compensation expense varies with both the frequency and severity of workplace injury claims reported during a quarter and the estimated future costs of such claims. Adverse loss development of prior period claims during a subsequent quarter may also contribute to the volatility in the Company's estimated workers' compensation expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a net working capital deficit and a Shareholders’ equity of $2,802,255 and $1,410,090, respectively, as of September 30, 2006. While the Company has achieved profitability, we have incurred substantial losses and have been dependent upon the financial support of Shareholders, management, other related parties and banks.
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, as discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in these efforts. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may arise as a result of this uncertainty.
Our average monthly revenue for the third quarter of 2005 was $2,971,151, and has increased to a monthly average of $14,567,940 for the third quarter of 2006.
We expect our operating expenses to continue to increase 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 the company.
COMPARISON OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 AND 2005.
Our net income increased from a loss of $273,401 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to a net income of $500,561 or a $773,962 increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. A discussion of our results of operations is as follows:
Revenues for nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 2006 increased from $17,013,714 to $88,778,862 or a 422% increase. This increase is attributable to several acquisitions Resolve has completed. In addition, Resolve has opened several new locations and created additional organic growth. As of September 30, 2006, Resolve operated approximately 67 staffing locations throughout the United States.
Page 21
Our cost of services increased from $13,883,111 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $75,718,957 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This increase was largely due to the increased revenues as noted above. However, as a percentage of revenue, our cost of services increased from 81.6% in 2005 to 85.3% in 2006. This increase in our cost of sales is attributable to changes in our sales mix. In addition to standard staffing services, Resolve also offers human resource outsourcing services, such as payroll processing. While our staffing margins continue to remain constant, the increase in revenues attributable to payroll processing, which has lower margins, causes our costs of sales to increase, as a percent of sales. We expect our gross profit margins for staffing services 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. However, as we continue to increase revenues from other services, such as payroll processing, we expect overall gross margins to continue to fluctuate.
Resolve expects to see continuing improvement in operating results as both existing acquisitions and organic growth are integrated over the remainder of the year. We expect to have a competitive advantage by offering a turnkey Human Resource Outsourcing (HRO) product line. This competitive advantage should enable Resolve to significantly increase its business opportunities with both existing customers and in new markets. Resolve expects this favorable trend to be realized in the later part of 2006 as the acquisitions are consolidated and synergies are realized.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“SG&A” or “Operating expenses”) have increased from $3,266,987 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $11,962,626 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This increase is attributable to our aggressive growth through acquisitions and opening of new locations. Resolve has grown into a national provider of staffing services with approximately 67 offices from coast to coast as of September, 30, 2005. This increase in SG&A expenses includes marketing, salaries, rents, and various other expenses associated with these locations, as well as corporate overhead and infrastructure to support the locations. These costs have decreased from approximately 19% to 13% as a percent of Sales. This decrease is attributable to the relatively fixed nature of some of the expenses. SG&A also includes non cash related items such as amortization of non-compete agreements and depreciation.
Interest expense increased from $137,017 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $596,718 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. 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 consolidated financial statements.
No provision for income taxes have been reflected or recorded on these financial statements. We recognized a net income of $500,561 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as a result of the matters discussed above. This represents a $773,962 increase in net income from the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Losses to date may be used to offset future taxable income, assuming the Company becomes profitable.

Management has successfully obtained additional financial resources, which the Company believes will support operations until profitability can be achieved. These financial resources include financing from both related and non-related third parties, as discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in these efforts. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may arise as a result of this uncertainty.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 we recognized a net income of $500,561. Our expenses include $665,735 for depreciation, amortization, and a change in allowance for doubtful accounts and did not represent the use of cash. The expenses also include $119,749 for stock-based compensation and did not represent the use of cash. Changes in accounts receivable, prepaid and other expenses, offset by increases in accounts payable, payroll, salary, and other accruals brought the total cash used by operations to $3,827,426.
Our average monthly revenue for the first nine months of 2005 was $1,890,413, and has increased to a monthly average of $9,864,318 for the first nine months of 2006.
We expect our operating expenses to continue to increase 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 the company.
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 $2,345,555 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 Shareholders, 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.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
About Us
Resolve Staffing, Inc., headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a national provider of outsourced human resource services with approximately 74 offices reaching from California to New York. Resolve provides a full range of supplemental staffing and outsourced solutions, including solutions for temporary, temporary-to-hire, or direct hire staffing in the medical, truck driver, clerical, office administration, customer service, professional and light industrial categories.
Page 24
Our Business
Resolve Staffing focuses on meting 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.
The Market
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.
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.
Page 25
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.
Employees
As of the date of this prospectus we employed over 10,000 PEO employees and over 4,000 temporary employees.
Typical Client
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.
Our Offices
Resolve’s headquarters are located at 3235 Omni Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio 45245. Our telephone number is 800-894-4250.
In addition to our corporate headquarters, Resolve leases facilities at approximately 74 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 percentage of beneficial ownership reported in the following table is based upon 18,792,741 shares of our common stock which were outstanding on December 31, 2006. Except as noted below, none of the Selling Shareholders have had any position, office, or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
General
The following description of our capital stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and By-laws, which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and by the applicable provisions of Nevada law.
We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which 18,792,741 shares were issued and outstanding as of January 9, 2007.
Common Stock
Holders of shares of our Common Stock are entitled to share equally on a per share basis in such dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. There are presently no plans to pay dividends with respect to the shares of our Common Stock. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, after payment of creditors and the holders of any of our senior securities, if any, our assets will be divided pro rata on a per share basis among the holders of the shares of our Common Stock. The Common Stock is not subject to any liability for further assessments. There are no conversion or redemption privileges or any sinking fund provisions with respect to the Common Stock. The holders of common stock do not have any pre-emptive or other subscription rights.
Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to cast one vote for each share held at all Shareholders' meetings for all purposes, including the election of directors. The Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights.
As of January 9, 2007, we had approximately 329 shareholders of record.
The Common Stock Purchase Warrants
We issued common stock purchase warrants (“Warrants”) to the Selling Shareholders as a part of the offer and sale of units in the private placement that was consummated on or about September 26, 2006. The shares of common stock underlying the Warrants, which will be issued to the Selling Shareholders upon exercise of the Warrants, are being registered as a part of this registration statement.
The Warrants are exercisable for a term of two years commencing October 1, 2006, meaning that unless exercised prior to September 30, 2008, they will expire and will have no further effect. Each Warrant includes the number of shares of our common stock that is purchasable under the Warrant and the exercise price. If all of the Warrants are exercised, we will issue an additional 1,000,0000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 and an additional 1,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $3.00. After this registration statement becomes effective, shares received by the Selling Shareholders upon exercise of their Warrants will immediately become freely transferable without restriction, so long as we maintain an effective registration statement covering the Warrant shares. We can provide no assurance that any or all of the Warrants will be exercised during the two-year term thereof.
The Warrants are exercisable only for cash consideration. Upon the exercise of the Warrants, we will receive the exercise price as additional paid in capital. The Warrants also have call rights, which means that we have a right to repurchase the Warrants at anytime they are outstanding in the event that the market price of our common stock is equal to $1.00 over the exercise price of the Warrant shares. Market price for purposes of this call provision means the average per share closing bid price on the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise or date of call by the Company, as reported on the national securities exchange where our commons stock is listed for trading or if not so listed, then in the over-the-counter market maintained by the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
The Warrants were issued in a private placement transaction under an exemption from registration under § 18 and/or § 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 or under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, and accordingly, the Warrants are deemed to be restricted securities. Each Warrant certificate issued to the Selling Shareholders bears a restrictive legend which provides that the Warrants and the common stock underlying the Warrants are deemed to be restricted securities and can not be re-sold, transferred, hypothecated or otherwise conveyed without first being duly registered for transfer under the Securities Act of 1933 or in accordance with an opinion of counsel to the effect that an exemption from registration is available permitting such sale or transfer.
Page 32
Dividends
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. We anticipate that any earnings will be retained for development and expansion of our business and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future. Our Board of Directors has sole discretion to pay cash dividends with respect to our common stock based on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual obligations and other relevant factors.
Registration Rights
We granted registration rights to the Selling Shareholders under the terms and conditions of the Regulation D, Rule 506 offering that we conducted in September, 2006. The Selling Shareholders who collectively hold 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, have the right to require us to register the resale of their shares under the Securities Act.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale
Upon completion of this offering and assuming the maximum number of shares are sold and all Warrants are exercised, we will have 23,792,741 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Of these shares, 7,574,521 shares of Common Stock will be freely tradable without further restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, as amended, except for those shares purchased by an "affiliate" of the Company. (in general, a person who has a control relationship with the Company, is an officer, director or 10% or greater beneficial owner of our Common Stock), which will be subject to the limitations of Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act. The remaining 16,218,220 shares of Common Stock are deemed to be "restricted securities," as that term is defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
Preferred Stock
We are not authorized to issue any shares of preferred stock.
Elimination of Liability in Certain Circumstances
Our certificate of incorporation eliminates the liability of our directors to us or our shareholders for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors. Directors remain liable for breaches of their duty of loyalty to us or our shareholders, as well as for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, and transactions from which a director derives improper personal benefit. Our certificate of incorporation does not absolve directors of liability for payment of dividends or stock purchases or redemptions by us in violation the Nevada Corporations Code.
The effect of this provision is to eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions involving a breach of their fiduciary duty of care, including any such actions involving gross negligence. We do not believe that this provision eliminates the liability of our directors to us or our shareholders for monetary damages under the federal securities laws. The certificate of incorporation and by-laws also provide indemnification for the benefit of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada Corporations Code as it may be amended from time to time, including most circumstances under which indemnification otherwise would be discretionary.
Number of Directors; Removal; Vacancies
We currently have four directors. Our by-laws provide that the number of directors may be changed by the board of directors. Vacancies on the Board of Directors may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office. Our by-laws provide that directors may be removed, with or without cause, at meetings of shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
Authorized but Unissued Shares
The authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock are available for future issuance without shareholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions, and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock could render it more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Page 33
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Nomination of Directors
Our by-laws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of shareholders, must provide timely notice in writing. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at our principal executive offices not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders. However, in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after such anniversary date, such notice will be timely only if received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the date on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed to shareholders or made public, whichever first occurs. Our by-laws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a shareholder’s notice.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
Our transfer agent is Florida Atlantic Stock Transfer, located in Tamarac, Florida.
Resale Restrictions
All of our shares of Common Stock issued prior to this offering are "restricted securities" as this term is defined under Rule 144, in that such shares were issued in private transactions not involving a public offering and may not be sold in the U.S. in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the shares other than in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or under another exemption from registration. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, any of our affiliates or any person (or persons whose shares are aggregated in accordance with Rule 144) who has beneficially owned our Common Stock which are treated as restricted securities for at least one (1) year would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of our outstanding Common Stock (approximately 125,425 shares based upon the number of shares of Common Stock expected to be outstanding after the offering). Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale restrictions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information concerning the Company. In addition, affiliates of the Company must comply with the restrictions and requirements of Rule 144 (other than the one (1) year holding period requirements) in order to sell Common Stock that are not restricted securities (such as Common Stock acquired by affiliates in market transactions). Furthermore, if a period of at least two (2) years has elapsed from the date restricted securities were acquired from us or from one of our affiliates, a holder of these restricted securities who is not an affiliate at the time of the sale and who has not been an affiliate for at least three (3) months prior to such sale would be entitled to sell the shares immediately without regard to the volume, manner of sale, notice and public information requirements of Rule 144.
Penny Stock Considerations
Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than US $5.00. Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Our shares may be subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our articles of Incorporation and by-laws provide that our directors and officers will not be personally liable to us or our Shareholders for monetary damages due to the breach of a fiduciary duty as a director or officer. Nevada Law provides that we may indemnify any officer, director, employee or agent who is party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, provided he was acting in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The indemnification includes all actual and reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, does not of itself prevent indemnification so long as the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Page 34
In addition, Nevada Law provides that we may indemnify any officer, director, employee or agent who is party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit brought by us or by our Shareholders on our behalf, provided he was acting in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests. The indemnification includes all actual and reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts. However, indemnification is prohibited as to any suit brought in our right in which the director or officer is adjudged by a court to be liable to us.
To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any proceeding pursuant to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all actual and reasonable expenses incurred, including attorney's fees.
The foregoing indemnity provisions will limit your ability as shareholders to hold officers and directors liable and collect monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty, and require us to indemnify officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.
To the extent that indemnification may be available to our directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.

The validity of the Common Stock offered hereby has been passed upon for us by Gregory Bartko, Esq., Law Office of Gregory Bartko, Atlanta, Georgia.

lཉ | broaden our client base; and |
lཉ | expand our geographic presence. |
Acquisition of Entities from Related Parties
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 3 locations from Five Star Staffing, Inc., in August 2004, 3 locations from Five Star Staffing (NY), Inc., in November 2004 and 1 location from American Staffing Resources, Ltd., 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, described below in the Basis of Presentation section of these notes to consolidated financial statements, 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 connection with the Combination on February 7, 2005, described below in the Basis of Presentation section of the notes to consolidated financial statements, ELS, Inc. 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. In conjunction with this transaction, Resolve Staffing, Inc. issued 13,000,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $130,000, a note payable in the amount of $1,500,000, and paid cash of $17,125, in exchange for 100% of the ownership interest in 4 entities with 10 staffing locations. The fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed, on the date of acquisition were as follows:
Accounts receivable | $ 30,457 |
Prepaid and other assets | 56,378 |

Goodwill | 2,035,679 |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (71,425) |
Notes payable | (419,244) |

Acquisition of Entities from Unrelated Parties
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Resolve Staffing, Inc., entered into purchase agreements (“Agreements”), to acquire all of the assets and/or ownership of multiple privately-held entities owned and operated by unrelated parties. Pursuant to the acquisition agreements, Resolve acquired the temporary employee staffing locations from the newly acquired entities.
Resolve issued notes payable and accrued contingent expenses in exchange for the assets and liabilities of the above staffing entities as described below. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value, of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, on the date of acquisition:
Property and equipment | $180,000 |
Noncompete | 650,000 |
Goodwill | 3,364,251 |
Total | $4,194,251 |
To date the books and records of the locations acquired from unrelated parties during 2006 have not been audited, and therefore the allocation of the purchase price is subject to refinement.
In conjunction with the acquisitions from all parties during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, approximately $3,364,251 has been assigned to goodwill. All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The financial results of these acquired entities are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions incorporated in Regulation S-B, Item 310(b) of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 have been included.
These statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
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. 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.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2006 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.
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 and warrants 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. In December 2004, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised), "Shared-Based Payment" (SFAS 123R). This standard revises SFAS No. 123, Accounting Principles Board Option 25 and related interpretations, and eliminates use of the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options. The Company currently uses the intrinsic value method to value stock options, and, accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for stock options. SFAS 123R requires that all employee share-based payments to employees, including stock options, be valued using a fair-value-based method and recorded as expense in the statement of operations. For the Company, SFAS 123R will first be effective for its December 31, 2006 financial statements. This new Statement will not affect accounting for the Company's stock options currently outstanding, but it will affect financial statement disclosures about those stock options, and it will change the accounting for stock options issued subsequent to January 1, 2006.
Furthermore, public entities are required to measure liabilities incurred to employees in share-based payment transactions at fair value as well as estimate the number of instruments for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered. Any incremental compensation cost for a modification of the terms or conditions of an award is measured by comparing the fair values before and after the modification. The Company has recognized approximately $120,000 as a result of SFAS No. 123R as of September 30, 2006.

Recent Accounting Principles
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 SFAS 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.
NOTE B - LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a net working capital deficit and stockholders’ equity of $2,802,255 and $1,410,090, respectively, as of September 30, 2006. To date, The Company has incurred substantial losses and has been dependent upon the financial support of stockholders, management and other related parties.
Management has successfully obtained additional financial resources, which the Company believes will support operations until profitability can be sustained. These financial resources include financing from both related and non-related third parties, as discussed in the accompanying footnotes to the financial statements. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in these efforts. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may arise as a result of this uncertainty.

If requested by the Company, assist in the due diligence of prospective strategic partners. |
· | Other Services - Perform other services as may be reasonably requested by the Company that are within the normal scope of operations of Dan Seifer. |
On March 31, 2006, Resolve agreed to issue a Note Receivable to Mr. Seifer, and related parties, for the purchase of shares underlying the options mentioned above. A note was issued in the aggregate amount of $6 million. Prior to June 30, 2006 $800,000 was paid on this note. The agreement was terminated on June 30, 2006 and the remaining balance of 3,466,666 shares was canceled.
Common Stock Warrants
As of September 30, 2006, there were 843,820 stock warrants outstanding which are due to expire on June 30, 2007. Each warrant has an exercise price of $.75 per share price. All stock warrants are exercisable.
Equity Incentive Plan
During the year ended December 31, 2001, Resolve adopted a 2001 Equity Incentive Plan ("Incentive Plan") for the benefit of key employees (including officers and employee directors) and consultants of Resolve and its affiliates. The Incentive Plan is intended to provide those persons who have substantial responsibility for the management and growth of Resolve with additional incentives and an opportunity to obtain or increase their proprietary interest in Resolve, encouraging them to continue in the employ of Resolve.
On May 28, 2002, Resolve's 2001 Stock Incentive Plan was amended to restore the number of shares which may be issued under the plan to 600,000 and to permit the issuance of unrestricted shares. No shares have been issued under this plan.
NOTE F - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Cash paid for interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $596,718 and $137,015 respectively.
NOTE G - NET LOSS PER SHARE
Net loss per share is computed based upon the weighted outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock for each period presented. The weighted average number of shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 excludes 843,820 common stock equivalents, representing principally warrants and stock options, since the effect of including them would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE H - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On September 13, 2006, Resolve Staffing announced that a closing date had been set for the proposed merger with ELS, Inc. The transaction was closed on October 1, 2006. As part of the consideration, Resolve Staffing issued 1,486,685 shares of its common stock to the selling shareholders of ELS, Inc. Additionally, Resolve agreed to issue notes payable totaling approximately $16.6 million and pay certain other settlement amounts described in the ELS, Inc. purchase agreement. Moreover, Resolve Staffing issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to investors for an aggregate of $1.5 million.
On October 16, 2006, Resolve Staffing announced the acquisition of Power Personnel, a New York based staffing firm with annual sales of approximately $12 million. With seven offices in the upstate New York market, Power Personnel provides a variety of temporary staffing, permanent placement and payroll management services. Resolve acquired all of the stock of Power Personnel for cash and the issuance of notes payable. Total to be paid for Power is anticipated to be $3,420,000.
Because the owners of ELS, Inc. held the majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock after the merger of ELS, Inc. and Resolve, 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, Inc. is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the merger of ELS, Inc. and Resolve 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. The audited financial statements of Resolve for each of the two years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 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, Inc. for the three years ended December 31, 2005 are expected to be included in the Resolve Staffing, Inc. amended report on Form 8-K pertaining to this acquisition which is expected to be filed prior to December 14, 2006.
NOTE I - SEGMENT INFORMATION
As a result of the merger with ELS, Inc. the Company will be operating in two segments which are temporary staffing and professional employer organization. The Company’s operations for both of these segments are conducted throughout the United States.

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. |

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.

NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS, LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2004 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the presentation in 2005. Such reclassifications are not considered material to the financial statements.

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. Under the terms of the agreement Resolve agreed to issue Ronald Heineman 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

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 | $ - | |
State | - | |
- | ||
Deferred | ||
Federal | - | |
State | - | |
- | ||
Income tax expense | $ - | |
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. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory rates associated with taxing jurisdictions because of changes in the valuation allowance. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2005, increased approximately $157,000 from 2004.
Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382, the Company’s use of its net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as a result of cumulative changes in ownership of more than 50% over a three year period.
A reconciliation of the statutory income tax rates and the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:
Year Ended December 31, | 2005 | |
Statutory U.S. federal rate | 34.00% | |
Permanent differences | 6.00% | |
Change in valuation allowance | -40.00% | |

As of December 31, 2005, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $157,000 related to the deferred tax assets.
Income taxes for 2004 for ELS have not been provided for as each of these entities was a wholly owned subsidiary of ELS Inc. and reported all income and expenses on the consolidated income tax returns of ELS, Inc. ELS Inc. has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under those provisions, ELS had no liability. Instead the owners of ELS are liable for income taxes on the respective share of ELS’s taxable income.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors.
Resolve Staffing, Inc.'s Certificate of Incorporation permits indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. Resolve's by-laws require Resolve to indemnify any person who was or is an authorized representative of Resolve, and who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any corporate proceeding, by reason of the fact that such person was or is an authorized representative of Resolve, against expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such third party proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Resolve and, with respect to any criminal third party proceeding (including any action or investigation which could or does lead to a criminal third party proceeding) had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. Resolve shall also indemnify any person who was or is an authorized representative of Resolve and who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any corporate proceeding by reason of the fact that such person was or is an authorized representative of Resolve, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such corporate action if such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Resolve, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to Resolve unless and only to the extent that the court in which such corporate proceeding was pending shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such authorized representative is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which any court shall deem proper. Such indemnification is mandatory under Resolve’s by-laws as to expenses actually and reasonably incurred to the extent that an authorized representative of Resolve has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any third party or corporate proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein. The determination of whether an individual is entitled to indemnification may be made by a majority of disinterested directors, independent legal counsel in a written legal opinion or the shareholders. Resolve currently does not maintain a directors and officers liability insurance policy.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Resolve pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Resolve has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 17. Undertakings.
A. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
B. We hereby undertake:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To specify in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement or most recent post-effective amendment thereof which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered, if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered, and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), Section 230.424(b) of Regulation S-K, if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
