Allowance for Credit Losses and Falloffs Allowance for Credit Losses The Company adopted the methodology under ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses As of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023 the allowance for credit losses was $573 and $562, respectively. A summary of changes in this account is as follows: Allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2023 $ 562 Provisions for credit losses 50 Accounts receivable written-off (39 ) Allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2024 $ 573 Liabilities for Direct Hire Placement Falloffs Direct hire placement service revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when each of the criteria under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) Charges for expected future falloffs are recorded as reductions of revenues for estimated losses due to applicants not remaining employed for the Company’s guarantee period. In connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company reclassified its allowance for falloffs from being combined with the former allowance for doubtful accounts, a contra-asset, to other current liabilities. Liabilities for falloffs and refunds during the period are reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets in the amounts of $65 and $118, as of March 31, 2024, and September 30, 3023, respectively. The corresponding charges included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as reductions of (additions to) direct hire placement service revenues were approximately $(14) and $269 for the three-month periods and $230 and $433 for the six-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. |

Earnings per Share | |
Earnings per Share | 5. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period, which is computed using shares issued and outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted shares granted but unissued, exercise of stock options and warrants. The dilutive effect of the common stock equivalents is reflected in earnings per share by use of the treasury stock method. The weighted average dilutive incremental shares, or common stock equivalents, included in the calculations of dilutive shares were 735 and 776 for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2023, respectively. Due to the loss from continuing operations reported for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2024, there were no dilutive incremental shares considered in the calculation of dilutive shares. Common stock equivalents, which are excluded because their effect is anti-dilutive, were approximately 4,472 and 3,543 for the three-month periods and 4,077 and 3,458 for the six-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets | |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | 8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill The Company performs a goodwill impairment assessment at least annually but may perform interim assessments in the event of a triggering event that may indicate the fair value of a reporting unit decreased below its carrying value. The decline in operating results and net loss experienced in the six-month period ended March 31, 2024, and the recent negative trend in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization, in management’s view, represents one or more triggering events that suggest that the Company’s goodwill may be impaired. The Company reevaluated its financial forecast for the March 2024 quarterly results and performed an interim impairment assessment of its goodwill using the updated information. The results of the interim assessment indicated the Company’s goodwill assigned to both its Professional and Industrial Services reporting units was not impaired. For purposes of performing its interim goodwill impairment assessment as of March 31, 2024, the Company applied customary valuation techniques in order to estimate the fair value of its Professional and Industrial Services reporting units and considered recent trends in the Company’s stock price, implied control or acquisition premiums, discounted cash flows, guideline public company results, guideline transactions, earnings, and other possible factors and their effects on estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units. The estimated fair value of the Professional Services reporting unit resulting from the March 31, 2024 assessment exceeded the reporting unit’s carrying value by approximately 5%, or approximately $4.0 million. The excess of the estimated fair value over the carrying value of the Professional Services reporting unit decreased from approximately 25%, or approximately $20.3 million, as of the September 30, 2023 annual assessment, principally as a result of the negative conditions and results experienced so far during the first half of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, and reductions to the Company’s forecasts of future results, accordingly. Should industry conditions remain consistently negative, or worsen, or if assumptions such as control premiums, terminal growth projections, cost of capital or discount rates or business enterprise value multiples change such conditions could result in a deficit or deficits of the fair values of one or both of the Company’s reporting units as compared to their respective carrying values, leading to an impairment in the future. Intangible Assets The following tables set forth the costs, accumulated amortization, and net book value of the Company’s separately identifiable intangible assets as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023 and estimated future amortization expense.

Restricted Stock The Company has an annual incentive compensation program (“AICP”) for its executives which is administered under the Company’s Incentive Stock Plan. The AICP includes a long-term incentive (“LTI”) compensation program in the form of restricted stock awards comprised of two components: one that vests based on future service only, and a second that vests based on future service and performance. Initial awards under both service-only and service plus performance-based components of the AICP LTI plan are determined based on financial performance measures for the immediately preceding fiscal year. The Company granted 195 shares of restricted stock under the AICP during the six months ended March 31, 2024. Of the 195 shares granted, 164 were granted based on actual fiscal 2023 results and will cliff vest on December 1, 2026, based on future service only. Of the remaining 31 shares granted which vest based on future service and performance, 5 were granted based on fiscal 2023 results and will cliff vest on December 1, 2026, the third anniversary from their date of grant. The remaining 26 future service and performance-based shares granted were based on fiscal 2022 results and will cliff vest on December 1, 2025, the second anniversary from their date of grant. The 31 service plus performance-based restricted shares are subject to adjustment over their corresponding fiscal 2024 reporting period based on probability of achieving the fiscal 2024 financial targets set by the Company’s Board of Directors. The shares currently reported have been adjusted based on the probable outcome as compared to these financial targets. The final number of fiscal 2023 and 2022 service plus performance-based restricted shares granted will be determined once the actual financial performance of the Company is determined for fiscal 2024. Share-based compensation expense attributable to restricted stock was $78 and $88 for the three-month periods and $152 and $175 for the six-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, there was approximately $444 of unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock outstanding and the weighted average vesting period for those grants was 3.00 years.

The share repurchase program continued through December 31, 2023. The repurchase program did not obligate the Company to repurchase any number of shares of common stock. The share repurchase program was conducted in accordance with Rules 10b-5 and 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Subject to applicable rules and regulations, shares of common stock were purchased from time to time in the open market transactions and in amounts the Company deemed appropriate, based on factors such as market conditions, legal requirements, and other business considerations. The Company repurchased 2,717 shares of its common stock under program during the six-month period ended March 31, 2024 at a net cost of $1,575. Upon conclusion of the share repurchase program, as of December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 6,128 shares in aggregate (accounting for approximately 5.4% of our issued and outstanding common shares immediately prior to the program). |
