Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Description of Business | Description of Business: Command Center, Inc. ("Command Center,” the “Company,” “CCI,” “we,” "us," or “our”) is a Washington corporation initially organized in 2002. We reorganized in 2005 and 2006 and now provide on-demand employees for manual labor, light industrial, and skilled trade applications. Our customers are primarily small to mid-sized businesses in the wholesale trades, manufacturing, hospitality, construction, retail and auto auction industries. We currently operate 55 stores located in 22 states. Our largest 10 customers represent approximately 27% of our revenue. We operate as: Command Center, Inc. |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Command Center, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Disaster Recovery Services, Inc. (“DR Services”), which is not inactive, and ComStaff, Inc., which is dormant. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Fiscal Year End | Fiscal Year End: Our consolidated financial statements are presented on a 52/53-week fiscal year end basis, with the last day of the fiscal year being the last Friday of each calendar year. In fiscal years consisting of 53 weeks, the final quarter will consist of 14 weeks. Fiscal years 2014 and 2013 both consisted of 52 weeks. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for 2013 have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net income, earnings per share, or stockholders’ equity as previously reported. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition: We generate revenues primarily from providing on-demand labor services. Revenue from services is recognized at the time the service is performed. Revenues are reported net of customer credits and taxes collected from customers that are remitted to taxing authorities. |
Cost of Staffing Services | Cost of Staffing Services: Cost of services includes the wages of temporary employees, related payroll taxes, workers’ compensation expenses, and other direct costs of services. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consists of demand deposits, including interest-bearing accounts with original maturities of three months or less, held in banking institutions and a trust account. These accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per institution. At December 26, 2014, we held deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits of approximately $8.3 million. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash: We maintained a cash balance that is held on deposit as a requirement of our workers’ compensation insurance provider. |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated recoverable amount, net of allowances. We regularly review our accounts receivable for collectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on historical write-off experience, age of receivable, other qualitative factors and extenuating circumstances, and current economic data and represents our best estimate of the amount of probable losses on our accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed monthly. Generally, we refer overdue balances to a collection agency at 120 days and the collection agent typically pursues collection for another 60 days. At December 26, 2014 and December 27, 2013, our allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $550,000 and $637,000, respectively. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are recorded at cost. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, typically three to five years. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the non-cancelable lease term or their useful lives. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets are sold or retired, cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the consolidated balance sheet and gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of income. |
Workers' Compensation Reserves | Workers’ Compensation Reserves: In accordance with the terms of our workers’ compensation liability insurance policy, we maintain deposits or letters of credit for workers’ compensation claims to secure payment of our claims cost. We use third party actuarial estimates of the future costs of the claims and related expenses discounted by a 3% present value interest rate to determine the amount of our reserves. We evaluate the reserves regularly throughout the year and make adjustments as needed. If the actual cost of claims incurred and related expenses exceed the amounts estimated, additional reserves may be required. In monopolistic states, we utilize the state funds for our workers’ compensation insurance and pay our premiums in accordance with the state plans. |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets received attributable to business acquisitions and combinations. Goodwill and other intangible assets are measured for impairment at least annually and/or whenever events and circumstances arise that indicate impairment may exist, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate. In assessing the value of goodwill, assets and liabilities are assigned to the reporting units and the appropriate valuation methodologies are used to determine fair value at the reporting unit level. Identified intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives which are estimated to be between three and seven years. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments: We carry financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheet at the fair value of the instruments as of the consolidated balance sheet date. At the end of each period, management assesses the fair value of each instrument and adjusts the carrying value to reflect its assessment. At December 26, 2014 and December 27, 2013, the carrying values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair values due to relatively short maturities. |
Derivatives | Derivatives: From time to time, we may enter into transactions which contain conversion privileges, the settlement of which may entitle the holder or us to settle the obligation(s) by issuance of Company securities. When we enter into transactions which allow us to settle obligations by the issuance of Company securities, fair value is estimated each reporting period. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes: We account for income taxes under the liability method, whereby deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will not be realized. Our policy is to prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We have analyzed our filing positions in all jurisdictions where we are required to file returns, and found no positions that would require a liability for unrecognized income tax positions to be recognized. We are subject to tax examinations. In the event that we are assessed penalties and or interest, penalties will be charged to other financing expense and interest will be charged to interest expense. |
Earnings per Share | Earnings per Share: We follow financial accounting standards which require the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and does not include the impact of any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in our earnings through the conversion of common shares issuable via outstanding stock warrants, and/or stock options. We had common stock equivalents outstanding to purchase 5,641,500 and 8,167,251 shares of common stock at December 26, 2014 and December 27, 2013, respectively. If we incur losses in the periods presented, or if conversion into common shares is anti-dilutive, basic and dilutive earnings per share are equal. At December 26, 2014 and December 27, 2013, we had 1,721,685 and 4,761,860 dilutive shares relating to vested stock options, warrants, and shares to be issued for contingent consideration, respectively. |
Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation: Periodically, we issue common shares or options to purchase our common shares to our officers, directors, employees, or other parties. Compensation expense for these equity awards are recognized over the vesting period, based on the fair value on the grant date. We recognize compensation expense for only the portion of options that are expected to vest, rather than record forfeitures when they occur. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated by management, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in the future periods. We determine the fair value of equity awards using the Black-Scholes valuation model. |
Advertising Costs | Advertising Costs: Advertising costs consist primarily of print and other promotional activities. We expense advertisements as incurred. During the years ended December 26, 2014 and December 27, 2013, advertising cost were included in selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $25,000 and $34,000, respectively. |
Concentrations | Concentrations: For the fiscal year ended December 26, 2014, 10.6% of our total revenue was from a single client. At December 26, 2014 and December 27, 2013, 23.2% and 10.3% of total accounts payable, respectively, was due to a single vendor. At December 27, 2013 13.0% of our total accounts receivable balance was due from a single customer. |
Long-lived asset impairment | Long-lived asset impairment: Long-lived assets include property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets. Definite-lived intangible assets consist of customer relationships, trade names and non-compete agreements. Long-lived assets are measured for impairment at least annually and/or whenever events and circumstances arise that indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. |
Checks Issued and Outstanding | Checks Issued and Outstanding: When checks drafted at a financial institution are in excess of funds on deposit at that financial institution, determined on an entity by entity basis, they are presented as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet. |
Fair Value Measures | Fair Value Measures: Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Our policy on fair value measures requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The policy establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The policy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value: |
|
Level 1: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
Level 2: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. |
|
Level 3: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
|
Our financial instruments consist principally of a stock warrant and contingent liability. |
|
The following table sets forth our assets and liabilities measured at fair value, whether recurring or non-recurring, at December 26, 2014 and December 27, 2013, and the fair value calculation input hierarchy level that we have determined applies to each asset and liability category. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance codified in ASC 606, Revenue Recognition — Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amends the guidance in former ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. The guidance requires all industries to conform to the same revenue recognition guidance, as opposed to separate industry standards. The guidance is effective for interim periods within the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016. We anticipate adopting ASC 606 beginning on November 1, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASC 606. |
