Analysts International Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Nature of Business
Analysts International Corporation (“AIC,” “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is an information technology (“IT”) services company that is focused on providing configured solutions for its clients. AIC serves a broad portfolio of clients throughout the United States with technology staffing, collaboration solutions, infrastructure solutions, project and application solutions and managed services offerings. We were incorporated under Minnesota law in 1966 and our corporate headquarters are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. For a more complete description of our Company, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009.
We operate on a fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly, fiscal 2009 will end on Saturday, January 2, 2010. The second quarter of fiscal 2009 ended on July 4, 2009 and the second quarter of fiscal 2008 ended on June 28, 2008. Fiscal 2009 will include 52 weeks while fiscal 2008 included 53 weeks.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of AIC have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. As permitted under these rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. The Consolidated Financial Statements included in this document reflect, in the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, except as noted elsewhere in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The following notes should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies and other disclosures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated by reference in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009. Revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during the year. Therefore, interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
To maintain consistency and comparability, we reclassified certain prior-year amounts previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009 to conform to the current-year presentation. The reclassifications affect only the grouping of line item balances within current liabilities and non-current liabilities. The reclassifications were deemed immaterial to the financial statements as they did not change the character of any liability and had no effect on total current and non-current liabilities, net income or cash flows.
Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (“FSP FAS 141R-1”) which amends and clarifies Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 141(R), Business Combinations, on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP FAS 141R-1 is effective for business combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact
6
on our consolidated financial statements of adopting FSP FAS 141R-1 will depend on the nature, terms and size of business combinations completed after the effective date.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”) to require an entity to provide disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 would apply to all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, and will require entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments, in both interim financial statements as well as annual financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 did not have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 establishes general standards for accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are available to be issued (“subsequent events”). SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition in the financial statements, identifies the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that should be made about events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 provides largely the same guidance on subsequent events which previously existed only in auditing literature. SFAS 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Standards Accounting Codification (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities and rules and interpretive releases of the SEC as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification will supersede all the existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards upon its effective date and subsequently, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. SFAS 168 also replaces FASB Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” given that once in effect, the Codification will carry the same level of authority. SFAS 168 will be effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this SFAS 168 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statement footnote disclosures.
3. Fair Value Measurement
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). The adoption of SFAS 157 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements or the valuation methods consistently followed by the Company.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). A financial instrument’s level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted market prices.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The type of assets and liabilities included in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts or priced with models using observable inputs.
7
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. The type of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation.
Short-term cash investments in money market accounts are considered to be cash equivalents. The estimated fair values for cash equivalents approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 and are recorded in our cash and cash equivalents line on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
4. Intangible Assets
In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we incurred amortization expense of $0.2 million and wrote-off $0.4 million related to a customer list and a trade name that were fully amortized.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we incurred amortization expense of $0.2 million and recorded an impairment of approximately $2.3 million. As of July 4, 2009, our intangible assets consist of the following:

| $ | 13,259 |
| $ | (7,155 | ) | $ | 6,104 |
|
During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we reviewed our customer lists in accordance with FASB SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, based on the expectation that the business with which the customer lists are associated would be sold significantly before the end of their previously estimated useful life. Based on this measurement, we recorded a $2.3 million impairment loss, which is the amount by which the carrying value of the customer lists exceeds the fair value. In determining fair value, we considered the expected consideration to be received from the sale of net assets as described in the Subsequent Events footnote in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The impairment loss is recorded on the Impairment of Intangible Assets line in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
5. Financing Agreement
Effective April 11, 2002, we consummated an asset-based revolving credit facility with GE Capital Corporation (“GE Capital”). As of July 4, 2009, we were in compliance with all the requirements of the credit facility and had no borrowing under the credit facility. Total availability of the credit facility, which fluctuates based on our level of eligible accounts receivable, was $10.4 million. Borrowing under this credit agreement is secured by all of our assets. The agreement restricts, among other things, the payment of dividends and capital expenditures. The facility carries an interest rate on daily advances equal to the Wall Street Journal’s “Prime Rate” (3.25% on July 4, 2009) and on fixed-term advances equal to the applicable LIBOR rate plus 2.0%.
Effective August 4, 2009, we amended the revolving credit agreement with GE Capital. The amendment reduced the availability under the credit facility from $45.0 million to $15.0 million, adjusted the unused commitment fee from 0.25% to 0.75%, adjusted the revolver interest rate from Prime Rate to Prime Rate plus 2.75%, adjusted the interest rate on fixed-term advances from the applicable LIBOR plus 2% to LIBOR plus 3.75% and adjusted the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant.

7. Restructuring Costs and Other Severance Related Costs
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded workforce reduction charges totaling $0.1 million, all of which related to severance and benefits.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded office closure and consolidation charges totaling $1.7 million related to future rent obligations (net of anticipated sub-lease income). The office closure charges are for locations we closed prior to July 4, 2009 and the consolidation charge relates to the consolidation of our corporate office.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded workforce reduction and office closure and consolidation charges totaling $1.6 million. Of these charges, $1.4 million related to severance and severance-related charges and $0.2 million related to future rent obligations (net of anticipated sub-lease income) for locations we closed or downsized prior to March 29, 2008.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded workforce reduction and office closure/consolidation charges totaling approximately $0.7 million. Of these charges, approximately $0.7 million related to severance and severance-related charges and approximately $24,000 related to future rent obligations for a location we closed prior to June 28, 2008.

8. Equity Compensation Plans
Total equity-based compensation expense for the three- and six-month periods ended July 4, 2009 was approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. This includes compensation expense related to both stock options and stock awards. The tax benefit recorded for these same periods was approximately $15,000 and $22,000 respectively. The tax benefit is offset against our valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset.
Total equity-based compensation expense for the three- and six-month periods ended June 28, 2008, was approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. This includes compensation expense related to both stock options and stock awards. The tax benefit recorded for these same periods was approximately $17,000 and $30,000 respectively. The tax benefit is offset against our valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset.

No stock options were exercised during the three- and six-month periods ended July 4, 2009, and June 28, 2008. As of July 4, 2009, there was approximately $0.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested option awards that are expected to vest over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

On June 2, 2009, the stockholders approved the Analysts International Corporation 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) for employees, officers, directors and non-employee consultants. Under the 2009 Plan, the Board of Directors (“Board”) or a committee appointed by the Board may award incentive stock options to employees and may award nonqualified stock options, restricted stock and other stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance share awards and other stock awards to directors and non-employee consultants. 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are available for grants of awards to participants directly or indirectly under the 2009 Plan. If any awards granted under the 2009 Plan expire or terminate prior to exercise or otherwise lapse, the shares subject to such portion of the award are available for subsequent grants of awards. The period during which an award may be exercised and whether the award will be exercisable immediately, in stages, or otherwise is set by the Board. An incentive stock option may not be exercisable more than ten years from the date of grant.
9. Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted loss per share is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Options to purchase approximately 2,535,000 and 2,439,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008, respectively. All options were considered anti-dilutive and excluded from the computation of common equivalent shares at July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008, because we reported a net loss. The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three- and six-months ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008, is as follows:

Sale of value-added reseller (“VAR”) assets
On August 4, 2009, AIC entered into and simultaneously closed an asset sale agreement with Netarx, LLC (“Netarx”) for the sale of assets relating to the Company’s VAR business.
In consideration for the assets sold, which are primarily customer contracts, and the liabilities transferred, Netarx paid the Company $3.0 million in cash at closing and will pay the Company up to an additional $0.75 million in cash contingent on the number of customer contract assignments received prior to December 31, 2009.

Three and six-month periods ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008
Company Overview
Analysts International Corporation (“AIC,” “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is an information technology (“IT”) services company that is focused on providing configured solutions for our clients. We serve a broad portfolio of clients throughout the United States with technology staffing, collaboration solutions, infrastructure solutions, project and application solutions and managed services offerings. We were incorporated under Minnesota law in 1966 and our corporate headquarters are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. For a more complete description of our Company, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009.
Consequences and Challenges of the Economic Environment on Our Business and Our Strategic Plan
The sharp contraction in the U.S. economy that began in the second half of fiscal 2008 and continues today has had a significant and continuing impact on our business. The effects of this economic deterioration have presented significantly greater challenges than we previously anticipated, resulting in accelerating downward pressures on our revenues, margins, results of operations and cash flows. We expect the challenges we are facing to continue throughout the remainder of fiscal 2009. We expect operating losses to continue throughout fiscal 2009 and that total operating loss incurred for the fiscal year will be significant. We believe that we are making some progress on executing our strategic plan that should help us to weather the economic downturn and emerge as a stronger, more institutionally mature business that can serve as a platform for future growth. However, the economic downturn has made it more difficult to fulfill some of the stated objectives of our strategic plan, which difficulties we expect to continue. Further, if the economic downturn worsens or extends significantly into the future or we are unsuccessful in executing on our strategic plan, we would expect to incur additional losses from operations and reductions in our cash flows and liquidity.
Our Strategic Plan
In January 2008, we announced a long-term strategic plan (the “Plan”) intended to restore AIC to profitability and increase shareholder value. The Plan was built around four strategic goals:
1. Returning the Company to sustained profitability;
2. Focusing on business development and expanding our service offerings in key metro markets;
3. Attracting and retaining top talent; and
4. Aligning with our technology partners.
In our 2008 Annual Report, we communicated our annual objectives in support of our business strategy, placing the highest priority on protecting our business through these economic challenges. Our objectives for fiscal 2009 and our progress towards these objectives are as follows:
· Manage Cash Flow and Maintain a Strong Balance Sheet
We believe managing our cash flow activity and maintaining a strong balance sheet is necessary to mitigate the financial risks during the current economic recession.
· During the first half of fiscal 2009, cash provided by operations was approximately $3.1 million. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding our changes in working capital.
· As of July 4, 2009, our current ratio was substantially unchanged from the end of fiscal 2008.
· As of July 4, 2009, we had no borrowing outstanding under our credit facility.
· Exit Non-Strategic or Non-Core Business
We believe exiting additional lines of business that are non-strategic or non-core to our future will allow us to focus on growing our business, provide the cash to fund our growth and aid in simplifying our business model.
· On August 4, 2009, we sold our value-added reseller (“VAR”) assets to Netarx, LLC (“Netarx”). The sale provided us with $3.0 million in cash at closing and may provide up to an additional $0.75 million in contingent cash consideration. In addition, we retained certain
12
current assets and liabilities related to the VAR business which are expected to provide additional net cash to the Company upon settlement of approximately $2.5 million.
· Strengthen our IT Staffing Business
Strengthening our IT staffing business is essential to the financial stability of the Company; however, we have experienced a further decline in the number of technical consultants and associated billable hours in both the first and second quarters of fiscal 2009.
· On May 5, 2009, we appointed Eric Educate as Senior Vice President of Sales to enhance our sales performance, provide sales leadership and strengthen our brand and our business.
· New systems and tools will be implemented in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 to enhance our sales efforts and delivery processes.
· Expand our Public Sector Practice
The United States government has enacted substantial economic stimulus programs, including programs in practice areas where we provide services. We have experience in Justice & Public Safety engagements as well as existing governmental relationships, and are actively pursuing several opportunities in the public sector.
· Improve Gross Margins
We continue to focus on improving our gross margins. The positive effects of improvement in our gross margin percentage have been attenuated, however, by the lower volumes of business. Our gross margin increased to 19.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and 19.9% during the first half of fiscal 2009. Our gross margins for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2008 were 15.8% and 16.7%, respectively. The primary driver of the increase was the elimination or exit from low margin and subsupplier business during fiscal 2008.
· Retain Clients and Develop Business
Retaining gross margins from existing clients as well as attracting new clients and developing business in key markets is vital to delivering long-term operating profits.
· We have increased our sales team by six people during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and plan to continue to add sales headcount in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as well.
· Reduce Selling, Administrative and Other Operating Expenses (“SG&A”)
Reducing our SG&A as a percentage of revenue through continued process improvements, cost reductions and controls and improved performance management will allow us to provide additional operating capital to support our business and fund future growth.
· We reduced our SG&A expenses in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2009 by $2.6 million and $5.3 million when compared against the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2008, respectively; however, we expect the rate and amount of future SG&A reductions to decline. As a percentage of revenue, our SG&A expense increased to 25.5% and 24.9% during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2009 compared to 15.8% and 16.2% in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2008, respectively, primarily due to a significantly lower revenue base.
· During the first half of fiscal 2009, we reduced our SG&A staff by approximately 19%.
Sale of the Company’s VAR Business
In line with our objective of exiting non-strategic or non-core businesses, we entered into and simultaneously closed an asset sale agreement with Netarx on August 4, 2009 for the sale of assets relating to the Company’s VAR business.
In consideration for the assets sold, which were primarily customer contracts, and the liabilities transferred, Netarx paid us $3.0 million in cash at closing and will pay us up to an additional $0.75 million in cash contingent on the number of customer contract assignments received prior to December 31, 2009.
We believe the sale of the VAR business will significantly impact our future operations. Through the first six months of fiscal 2009, the VAR business generated revenues of approximately $18.6 million and had an unfavorable
13
contribution margin of $0.4 million. Over the past 12 months, the VAR business has generated revenues of approximately $48.5 million and had an unfavorable contribution margin of approximately $0.1 million.
We believe the sale of the VAR business will help us achieve several of the objectives in support of our business strategy as outlined above. Exiting the lower margin product reseller business, which is working capital intensive, should allow us to better manage our balance sheet and cash flows as well as improve our margins. The cash provided by the sale allows us to further invest in our core business offerings. In addition, we expect to further reduce our general and administrative costs to align our back office operations with the remaining business operations. We also expect lower capital expenditures and related depreciation expense as a result of the sale.
Overview of Results of Second Quarter Fiscal 2009 Operations
Our revenues decreased $41.5 million, or 50.6%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008 primarily due to our planned exit from non-core and low-margin lines of business (20.2%), the negative impact the economic environment has had on the demand for our IT professional services (17.7%), a reduction in volume at our largest customer (6.8%) and a reduction in product demand (5.9%). Specifically, our planned exit from non-core and low-margin lines of business caused our revenues to decline $16.6 million, or 20.2%, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Early in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we sold Symmetry Workforce Solutions (“Symmetry”), our managed staffing business, to COMSYS Information Technology Services, Inc. and discontinued our staffing relationship with one of our large staffing accounts. Together, business through Symmetry and the large staffing account represented approximately $15 million in quarterly revenue and $60 million in annualized revenue.
Gross margins as a percentage of revenue increased due to the impact of implementing our strategy of exiting low margin lines of business and accounts and the reduction in lower margin product sales.
SG&A expenses declined in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 due largely to the execution of our Plan and the reduction in business volume. During the quarter, we incurred non-cash charges of $4.0 million, including $2.3 million for the impairment of intangible customer lists and $1.7 million for restructuring and other severance related costs.
We generated cash from operations of $0.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. As of July 4, 2009, we had a cash balance of approximately $4.6 million and no borrowing under our revolving credit facility.

Revenue
Revenue from services provided directly for the three months ended July 4, 2009 declined 39.7% from the prior comparable period. The decline in revenue was primarily due to a reduction in the number of billable hours and technical consultants as a result of lower business volumes and our decision to discontinue our relationship with one of our large staffing accounts, partially offset by a 7.1% increase in overall billing rates over the prior year period. Our subsupplier revenue for the three months ended July 4, 2009, which is mainly pass-through revenue with associated fees, declined by 95.2% over the prior year period primarily due to the sale of Symmetry early in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Product sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 declined by 50.0% over the prior year period due to an overall reduction in business volume.
15
Cost of Services Provided Directly
Cost of services provided directly represents our payroll and benefit costs associated with our billable consultants. This category of expense as a percentage of direct services revenue decreased to 79.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 79.9% in the prior comparable period.
Cost of Services Provided Through Subsuppliers
Cost of services provided through subsuppliers represents our cost when we utilize third parties to fulfill our obligations to our large staffing clients. This category of expense as a percentage of revenue for services provided through subsuppliers was 94.8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 96.5% for the comparable period in fiscal 2008. The decrease in expense as a percentage of subsupplier revenue was primarily due to exiting lower margin subsupplier business during the second half of fiscal 2008.
Cost of Product Sales
Cost of product sales represents our cost when we resell hardware and software products. This category of expense, as a percentage of product sales, was 85.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 91.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The decrease in expense as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to the mix of product sales between the comparable periods.
Selling, Administrative and Other Operating Costs
SG&A costs include management and administrative salaries, commissions paid to sales representatives and recruiters, location costs, and other administrative costs. This category of costs decreased approximately $2.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 from the comparable period in 2008 and represented 25.5% of total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 15.8% for the second quarter in fiscal 2008. SG&A expenses decreased primarily due to the impact of personnel reductions and implementation of non-personnel cost reductions and a reduction of sales and recruiting incentive compensation expense due to the decrease in business volume. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A costs increased due to a significantly lower revenue base in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
Restructuring Costs and Other Severance Related Costs
During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded office closure and consolidation charges totaling $1.7 million related to future rent obligations (net of anticipated sub-lease income). The office closure charges are for locations we closed prior to July 4, 2009 and the consolidation charge relates to consolidating our corporate back office.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded workforce reduction and office closure and consolidation charges totaling approximately $0.7 million. Of these charges, approximately $0.7 million related to severance and severance-related charges and approximately $24,000 related to future rent obligations for a location we closed prior to June 28, 2008.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we reviewed our customer lists in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, based on the expectation that the business with which the customer lists are associated would be sold significantly before the end of their previously estimated useful life. Based on this measurement, we recorded a $2.3 million impairment loss, which is the amount by which the carrying value of the customer lists exceeds the fair value. In determining fair value, we considered the expected consideration to be received from the sale of net assets.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets primarily relates to our customer lists. This category of expense decreased during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008 due to the SequoiaNet.com trade name and a certain customer list becoming fully amortized during fiscal 2008.
16
Non-operating Income
Non-operating income decreased slightly in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008 as a result of less interest income earned from our cash balances due to lower interest rates and higher interest income related to a customer equipment lease in the prior year.
Interest Expense
We had no borrowings outstanding in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to average borrowing outstanding under our credit facility of approximately $3.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 at an average interest rate of 5.00%.
Income Taxes
For both the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and second quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded a provision for income taxes for amounts due for certain state income taxes and changes in our reserves for tax obligations. We recorded no additional income tax benefit or expense associated with our net operating losses because any tax benefit or expense that would otherwise have been recorded has been negated by adjusting the valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset. If, however, we successfully return to profitability to a point where future realization of deferred tax assets, which are currently reserved, becomes “more likely than not,” we may be required to reverse the existing valuation allowance to realize the benefit of these assets.
Personnel
Our technical consulting staff levels finished the second quarter of fiscal 2009 at 1,079, a 42.7% decline against the comparable prior period. The decline in technical consulting staff levels was due to a reduction of approximately 320 billable consultants as a result of the transfer of our existing contract with one of our largest staffing accounts to other suppliers in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and an overall decline in business volume. The decline in management and administrative personnel was due to our focus on reducing the number of management and administrative personnel that are necessary to support the business operations. The reported technical consulting staff levels exclude Medical Concepts Staffing, our medical staffing business, due to the separate industry focus of that business.
Certain Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
For the three months ended July 4, 2009, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

Revenue
Total revenue from services provided directly declined 36.2% to $75.9 million for the six months ended July 4, 2009 from $118.9 million for the six months ended June 28, 2008. The decline in revenue was primarily due to a reduction in the number of billable hours and technical consultants as a result of lower business volumes and our decision to discontinue our relationship with one of our large staffing accounts, partially offset by an 8.2% increase in overall billing rates over the prior year period. Our subsupplier revenue, which is mainly pass-through revenue with associated fees, declined by 94.5% in 2009 compared to 2008 due to the sale of Symmetry early in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Product sales declined 53.1 % to $8.2 million for the six months ended July 4, 2009 from $17.6 million for the six months ended June 28, 2008 due to an overall reduction in business volume.
18
Cost of Services Provided Directly
Cost of services provided directly represents our payroll and benefit costs associated with our billable consultants. This category of expense as a percentage of direct services revenue increased slightly to 79.2% for the six months ended July 4, 2009 from 79.1% for the six months ended June 28, 2008.
Cost of Services Provided Through Subsuppliers
Cost of services provided through subsuppliers represents our cost when we utilize third parties to fulfill our obligations to our large staffing clients. This category of expense as a percentage of revenue for services provided through subsuppliers was 95.0% for the six months ended July 4, 2009 compared to 96.4% for the six months ended June 28, 2008. The decrease in expense as a percentage of subsupplier revenue was primarily due to exiting lower margin subsupplier business during fiscal 2008.
Cost of Product Sales
Cost of product sales represents our cost when we resell hardware and software products. This category of expense, as a percentage of product sales, was 85.1% for the six months ended July 4, 2009 compared to 89.9% for the six months ended June 28, 2008. The decrease in expense as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to the mix of product sales between the comparable periods.
Selling, Administrative and Other Operating Costs
SG&A costs include management and administrative salaries, commissions paid to sales representatives and recruiters, location costs, and other administrative costs. This category of costs decreased 19.8% from $26.6 million for the six months ended June 28, 2008 to $21.3 million for the six months ended July 4, 2009. These amounts represented 16.2% and 24.9% of total revenue for 2008 and 2009, respectively. SG&A expenses decreased primarily due to the impact of personnel reductions and implementation of non-personnel cost reductions and a reduction of sales and recruiting incentive compensation expense due to the decrease in business volume. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A costs increased due to a significantly lower revenue base for the six months ended July 4, 2009.
Restructuring Costs and Other Severance Related Costs
During the six months ended July 4, 2009, we recorded restructuring and severance related expenses totaling $1.8 million. Of these charges, $0.1 million related to severance and severance-related charges and $1.7 million related to future rent obligations (net of anticipated sub-lease income) related to consolidating our corporate back office and for locations we closed prior to July 4, 2009.
During the six months ended June 28, 2008, we recorded restructuring and severance related expenses totaling $2.4 million. Of these charges, $2.1 million related to workforce reductions and $0.3 million related to lease obligations and abandonment costs (net of anticipated sub-lease income) for locations where we chose to downsize or exit completely.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we reviewed our customer lists in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, based on the expectation that the business with which the customer lists are associated would be sold significantly before the end of their previously estimated useful life. Based on this measurement, we recorded a $2.3 million impairment loss, which is the amount by which the carrying value of the customer lists exceeds the fair value. In determining fair value, we considered the expected consideration to be received from the sale of net assets.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets primarily relates to our customer lists. This category of expense decreased during fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 due to the SequoiaNet.com trade name and a certain customer list becoming fully amortized during fiscal 2008.
19
Non-operating Income
Non-operating income decreased slightly for the six months ended July 4, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 28, 2009 as a result of less interest income earned from our cash balances due to lower interest rates and higher interest income related to a customer equipment lease in the prior year.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased to $11,000 for the six months ended July 4, 2009 from $135,000 for the six months ended June 28, 2008 primarily due to a decrease in average borrowing base from $4.5 million for 2008 to $27,000 for 2009. A reduction in interest rates from 5.00% at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to 3.25% at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009 also contributed to the decrease in interest expense.
Income Taxes
For the six months ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008, we recorded a provision for income taxes for amounts due for certain state income taxes and changes in our reserves for tax obligations. We recorded no additional income tax expense or benefit because any tax expense or benefit which would otherwise have been recorded has been negated by adjusting the valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset. If, however, we successfully return to profitability to a point where future realization of deferred tax assets, which are currently reserved, becomes “more likely than not,” we may be required to reverse the existing valuation allowance to realize the benefit of these assets.
Personnel
For the six months ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008 our technical consulting staff levels finished at 1,079 and 1,883 respectively, a 42.7% decline. The decline in technical consulting staff levels was due to a reduction of approximately 320 billable consultants as a result of the transfer of our existing contract with one of our largest staffing accounts to other suppliers in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and an overall decline in business volume. The decline in management and administrative personnel was due to our focus on reducing the number of management and administrative personnel that are necessary to support the business operations. The reported technical consulting staff levels exclude Medical Concepts Staffing, our medical staffing business, due to the separate industry focus of that business.
Certain Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
For the six months ended July 4, 2009, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

Change in Working Capital
Working capital was $17.9 million at July 4, 2009, down approximately $5.0 million from January 3, 2009. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities decreased slightly to 2.04 at July 4, 2009 compared to 2.05 at January 3, 2009.
Our total current assets decreased approximately $9.6 million at July 4, 2009 compared to the beginning of the year as a result of lower accounts receivable offset slightly by an increase in our cash and cash equivalents. The primary reason for the 28.1% decrease in our accounts receivable from the beginning of the year is the approximately 27.4% decline in revenues from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 to the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
Our total current liabilities decreased approximately $4.6 million at July 4, 2009 compared to the beginning of the year primarily due to fewer product purchases and less business volume.
We believe our working capital and availability under our GE Capital credit agreement will be sufficient to support the cash flow needs of our business in fiscal 2009. Continuing operating losses, a significant increase in bad debt experience, a significant lengthening of payment terms, or significant costs associated with restructuring activities could create a need for additional working capital. An inability to obtain additional working capital, should it be required, could have a material adverse effect on our business. We expect to be able to comply with the requirements of our credit agreement; however, failure to do so could affect our ability to obtain necessary working capital and could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, the current GE Capital credit agreement expires on January 20, 2010. We expect to either renew or obtain a new credit facility during fiscal 2009; however, failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business. See Part II. Other Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Sources and Uses of Cash/Credit Facility
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $2.3 million from January 3, 2009 to July 4, 2009. Our primary need for working capital is to support accounts receivable and to fund the time lag between payroll and vendor disbursements and receipt of fees billed to clients. Historically, we have been able to support internal growth in our business with internally generated funds and the use of our credit facility.
Effective August 4, 2009, we amended the revolving credit agreement with GE Capital. The amendment reduced the availability under the credit facility from $45.0 million to $15.0 million, adjusted the unused commitment fee from
21
0.25% to 0.75%, adjusted the revolver interest rate from the Wall Street Journal’s “Prime Rate” to Prime Rate plus 2.75%, adjusted the interest rate on fixed-term advances from the applicable LIBOR plus 2% to LIBOR plus 3.75% and adjusted the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant.
Prior to the amendment, our asset-based revolving credit agreement provided up to $45.0 million of availability. As of July 4, 2009, our borrowing availability under this credit facility, which fluctuates based on our level of eligible accounts receivable, was $10.4 million and we had no amounts outstanding. Borrowing under the credit agreement is secured by all of our assets. This line of credit is available to us to fund working capital needs and other investments such as acquisitions as these needs arise. As of July 4, 2009, we were in compliance with all the requirements of the credit facility.
The revolving credit agreement requires us to take advances or pay down the outstanding balance on the line of credit daily. However, we can request fixed-term advances of one, two or three months for a portion of the outstanding balance on the line of credit.
On August 4, 2009, we entered into and simultaneously closed an asset sale agreement with Netarx for the sale of assets relating to our VAR business. In consideration for the assets sold, which were primarily customer contracts, and the liabilities transferred, Netarx paid us $3.0 million in cash at closing and will pay us up to an additional $0.75 million in cash contingent on the number of customer contract assignments received prior to December 31, 2009. In addition, we retained certain current assets and liabilities related to the VAR business which are expected to provide additional net cash to the Company upon settlement of approximately $2.5 million.
We made capital expenditures of $0.3 million and $0.8 million during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2009, respectively.
On July 25, 2007, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to one million shares of our common stock. On July 26, 2007, we amended our credit agreement with GE Capital to allow us to repurchase up to $5,000,000 of our common stock. Timing of repurchases will be based on several factors, including the price of the common stock, general market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements and alternate investment opportunities. Repurchases may be made in the open market or through private transactions, in accordance with SEC requirements. Repurchases may be suspended at any time and are subject to the terms and conditions of our credit agreement with GE Capital which includes restrictions based on our borrowing availability under the credit agreement and maximum dollar expenditure for repurchases. During the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2009, we did not engage in any repurchases of our common stock.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (“FSP FAS 141R-1”) which amends and clarifies SFAS 141(R), Business Combinations, on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP FAS 141R-1 is effective for business combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting FSP FAS 141R-1 will depend on the nature, terms and size of business combinations completed after the effective date.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”) to require an entity to provide disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 would apply to all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, and will require entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments, in both interim financial statements as well as annual financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 did not have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 establishes general standards for accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are available to be issued (“subsequent events”). SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date
22
during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition in the financial statements, identifies the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that should be made about events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 provides largely the same guidance on subsequent events which previously existed only in auditing literature. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. SFAS 165 will be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 165 will have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Standards Accounting Codification (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities and rules and interpretive releases of the SEC as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification will supersede all the existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards upon its effective date and subsequently, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. SFAS 168 also replaces FASB Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” given that once in effect, the Codification will carry the same level of authority. SFAS 168 will be effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 168 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statement footnote disclosures.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) about: (i) our expectations and beliefs with respect to the recession, the volatility of the capital markets, the tightening of lending standards in the credit markets, and the general downturn in the global economy, as well as our assumptions with respect to the impact these economic conditions will have on our business, including an expectation of a reduction in business volume and continued operating losses through fiscal 2009, (ii) our Plan and the objectives of the Plan, including certain expense reduction initiatives, additions to sales headcount and the planned expansion into new geographic markets, (iii) the planned expansion of our public sector practice, (iv) our beliefs and expectations with respect to the impact of the VAR business sale, (v) our expectations with respect to growing our business, reducing expenses and achieving profitability, (vi) our beliefs regarding the adequacy of our working capital and our ability to meet the requirements of our credit facility or to obtain a replacement credit facility on commercially reasonable terms, and (vii) our expectations with respect to our financial results and operating performance.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
23
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, Elmer N. Baldwin, and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, Randy W. Strobel, regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed by us in reports that are filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules of the Securities Exchange Commission.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
24
There are no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is subject, other than routine litigation incidental to the business.
If we are unable to satisfy the Nasdaq Global Market’s continued listing requirements, including a minimum price per share of $1.00, our common stock may be delisted, which would likely impair the liquidity and the value of our common stock.
As of August 10, 2009, the closing bid price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market was $0.67, which is below the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5), or the Rule. Given the extraordinary market conditions in late 2008 and early 2009, Nasdaq announced a temporary moratorium on enforcement of the Rule. This moratorium was in effect until July 20, 2009. On July 14, 2009 Nasdaq extended the moratorium for approximately two additional weeks, until July 31, 2009. The enforcement of the Rule resumed on August 3, 2009.
Because we were not able to regain compliance by the time the Rule was reinstated, we expect that Nasdaq will provide us with an initial notice that our common stock will be delisted unless the bid price of our common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days within 180 calendar days from such notification. If we were to fail to regain compliance within 180 calendar days, we would receive written notice of delisting from Nasdaq, which we could then appeal to a Nasdaq Listings Qualifications Panel pursuant to applicable Nasdaq rules. Alternatively, we might be permitted under Nasdaq rules to transfer the listing of our common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market if our common stock satisfies all criteria, other than compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, for initial inclusion on such market. In the event of such a transfer, the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules provide that we would be afforded an additional 180 calendar days to comply with the minimum bid price requirement while listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
If our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market and the Nasdaq Capital Market, trading in our common stock would likely be conducted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a regulated quotation service. If our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, the liquidity of our common stock may be reduced, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and reduction in security analysts’ and the media’s coverage of us. This may result in lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise be obtained and could also result in a larger spread between the bid and asked prices for our common stock. Delisting could also result in a loss of confidence by our suppliers, customers and employees.
We may be unsuccessful in executing the Plan and restoring the company to profitability and increasing shareholder value.
We announced a long-term strategic plan (the “Plan”) in January 2008 to restore profitability and increase shareholder value. The Plan requires us to achieve several objectives such as:
· increasing revenue, improving margins and adding sales personnel in higher-margin service areas;
· expanding our value-added services in key metro markets;
· strengthening relationships with technology partners;
· reducing corporate expenses through consolidation of back-office and other corporate overhead functions;
· exiting non-strategic, non-core lines of business;
· investing in our IT systems in order to simplify, streamline and automate our business process;
· attracting and retaining top talent;
25
· managing our cash flow and maintaining a strong balance sheet;
· delivering operating profits;
· continue to improve our gross margins; and
· building our public sector practice.
We have been unsuccessful in achieving our goal of increasing revenue over the first half of fiscal 2009. The positive effects of improvement in our gross margins have been attenuated by the lower volumes of business. In addition, we believe our ability to provide higher-margin services will be limited as long as our clients continue to be impacted by the economic downturn. Finally, we may be unsuccessful in our ability to expand into key metro markets and strengthen relationships with technology partners. If we are unable to increase our revenues or achieve one or more of the other objectives listed above, we may fail to restore profitability and increase shareholder value.
Our business continues to be subject to material risks. See Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009 for a listing of additional risk factors.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
