NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited, amounts in thousands except per share amounts)
1. Description of the Company and its Business
Holding Company Reorganization
Corporate Resource Services, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on December 15, 2009 for the purpose of acting as a holding company with operating subsidiaries in the staffing business and other related businesses. On February 23, 2010, we completed a holding company reorganization, pursuant to which Accountabilities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Accountabilities”), which immediately prior to the reorganization was our parent company, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Company.
As a result of the reorganization, the former holders of Accountabilities common stock became owners of shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and each restricted share of Accountabilities’ common stock issued and outstanding under the Accountabilities Equity Incentive Plan immediately prior to the effective time of the reorganization was automatically converted into a similarly restricted share of our common stock. Our equity capitalization and consolidated assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity immediately following the reorganization remained the same as the equity capitalization and consolidated assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity of Accountabilities immediately prior to the reorganization.
References in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to the “Company” refer, for periods prior to February 23, 2010, to Accountabilities, and, for the periods after the reorganization, to Corporate Resource Services, Inc., including its consolidated subsidiaries (unless indicated or context otherwise requires), which are:
| ● | Corporate Resource Development, Inc. (“CRD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed on March 23, 2010. On April 5, 2010, CRD acquired (the “GT Acquisition Agreement”), through a private foreclosure sale, certain assets of GT Systems, Inc. and its operating affiliates (“GT Systems”) related to the temporary and permanent placement of employees. See also Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; |
| ● | Insurance Overload Services, Inc. (“Insurance Overload”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed on July 22, 2010. On August 27, 2010, pursuant to a merger, Insurance Overload closed its acquisition of Tri-Overload Staffing, Inc. (“Tri-Overload”), which was renamed Insurance Overload as part of the acquisition (the “Tri-Overload Acquisition”). Tri-Overload was purchased prior to the Tri-Overload Acquisition on July 20, 2009 by TS Staffing Corp. (“TS Staffing”), an entity wholly-owned by Robert Cassera, a director of the Company. Mr. Cassera also owns Tri-State Employment Services, Inc. (“Tri-State”), which together with its affiliated entities and persons was the beneficial owner of approximately 85.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at June 30, 2011. Because the Company and Tri-Overload were both controlled by Tri-State and its affiliates, the acquisition was recorded using the pooling-of-interest method as required under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for business combinations of entities under common control and the financial information for all periods presented reflects the financial statements of the combined companies as if the acquisition had occurred on July 20, 2009. See also Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; |
| ● | Integrated Consulting Group, Inc. (“ICG Inc.”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company formed on October 18, 2010, acquired through a public foreclosure sale certain assets of Integrated Consulting Group of NY LLC (“ICG Seller”) on December 14, 2010 related to the temporary placement of employees in the light industrial industry and translation and interpreting services (the “ICG Acquisition”). See also Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; and |
| ● | Diamond Staffing Services, Inc. (“Diamond Staffing”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed on October 7, 2010. On January 31, 2011, pursuant to a merger, Diamond Staffing closed its acquisition of Tri-Diamond Staffing, Inc. (“Tri-Diamond”), with the surviving company continuing under the name Diamond Staffing (the “Tri-Diamond Acquisition”). Tri-Diamond was purchased prior to the Tri-Diamond Acquisition on January 1, 2009 by TS Staffing. As described above, Mr. Cassera is the sole owner of TS Staffing and Tri-State, which together with its affiliated entities and persons was the beneficial owner of approximately 85.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at June 30, 2011. Because the Company and Tri-Diamond were both controlled by Tri-State and its affiliates, the acquisition was recorded using the pooling-of-interest method as required under U.S. GAAP for business combinations of entities under common control and the financial information for all periods presented reflects the financial statements of the combined companies as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2009. See also Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |

(unaudited, amounts in thousands except per share amounts)
| ● | On April 10, 2011, Diamond Staffing acquired (the “Cameo Acquisition”) substantially all the assets of Cameo Personnel Systems, Inc., a New Jersey-based company (“Cameo”). Cameo provides temporary and permanent employment staffing services and related support services out of its three offices located in New Jersey and as a licensor of Front Line Staffing, Inc, also located in New Jersey. The purchase price was $750, of which $350 was paid on the acquisition date and $400 is included in the Company’s long term debt as of June 30, 2011. |
Nature of Operations
Through its five wholly-owned subsidiaries, Accountabilities, CRD, Insurance Overload, ICG Inc. and Diamond Staffing, the Company is a national provider of diversified staffing, recruiting and consulting services, including temporary staffing services, with a focus on light industrial services, clerical and administrative support and insurance related staffing. The Company provides its services across a variety of industries and to a diverse range of clients ranging from sole proprietorships to Fortune 1000 companies. The Company conducts all of its business in the United States through its New York City headquarters and the operation of 71 staffing and recruiting offices.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2010 has been restated to reflect the acquisitions of Insurance Overload and Diamond Staffing that were accounted for using the pooling-of-interest method of accounting.
Revenue Recognition
Staffing and consulting revenues are recognized when professionals deliver services. Permanent placement revenue, which generated 2.0% and 2.1% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011and 2010, respectively, and 2.0% and 1.7% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, is recognized when the candidate commences employment, net of an allowance for those not expected to remain with clients through a 90-day guarantee period, wherein the Company is obligated to find a suitable replacement.
Net Loss per Share
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share amounts (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS considers the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or could otherwise cause the issuance of common stock. Diluted loss per share is not computed because any potential additional common stock would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an anti-dilutive effect. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding does not include the anti-dilutive effect of approximately 1,304 and 866 common stock equivalent shares for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and 592 common stock equivalent shares for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, representing warrants, convertible debt, non-vested shares, shares which have vested but have not been issued and restricted stock units (see Note 8).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions are adequate, actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its five wholly owned subsidiaries, Accountabilities, CRD, Insurance Overload, ICG Inc. and Diamond Staffing. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Interim Financial Information
The condensed consolidated financial information as of and for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. The condensed year-end balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, and certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC; however, the Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2010, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on January 11, 2011. Certain reclassifications have been made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.
3. Acquisitions
GT Systems, Inc. and Affiliated Companies
On April 5, 2010, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CRD, acquired, through a private foreclosure sale, certain assets of GT Systems for $3,000 (the “Purchase Price”) of which $750 was paid at the closing with the balance payable in four quarterly installments of $250 and thereafter, 0.75% of revenue on a monthly basis until the earlier of payment of the full purchase price, or April 5, 2013. If, on April 5, 2013, the Purchase Price has not been fully paid, then any remaining balance is due and payable by CRD at that time. CRD’s obligation to make the required payments is guaranteed by the Company, and is secured by a pledge of 4,257 shares of the Company’s common stock to the seller. Pursuant to the GT Acquisition Agreement, the Company exercised its right to repurchase 2,323 of the pledged shares during the third fiscal quarter of 2011 and expects to receive these shares in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011. These pledged shares are not treated as outstanding, and are not included in the number of the Company’s shares of common stock outstanding on the cover page of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Tri-State is also a guarantor of CRD’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price.
The following table presents the allocation of the Purchase Price which has been accounted for at the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed under the acquisition method of accounting:
| | | | |
Sales representative network | | | | |
Property, plant and equipment | | | | |
| | | | |
In addition, CRD has entered into a three year consulting agreement with GT Systems’ former owner for his assistance with the administration of the business and maintenance of customer and client relationships. Compensation to be paid under the consulting agreement includes an annual payment of $200, 0.4% of the gross sales of each pay period, and an additional 0.6% of the annual gross sales in excess of $80,000 on an annual basis until April 5, 2013.
As a result of the acquisition, the Company recorded $446 of other income for fees earned pursuant to a services agreement with an affiliate of GT Systems which the Company performed through the quarter ended December 31, 2010, and amounts earned under a service and collections agreement with the foreclosing party, whereby the Company provided services to assist the foreclosing party in collecting the outstanding receivables of GT Systems prior to its acquisition. Additionally, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company incurred $482 of acquisition-related expenses.
The following table shows certain unaudited pro forma results of the Company, assuming the Company had acquired the assets of GT Systems at the beginning of the nine months ended June 30, 2010:
| Included in the Financial Statements of the Company April 5, 2010– June 30, 2010 | | Supplemental Pro forma Consolidated October 1, 2009– June 30, 2010 |
| | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Tri-Overload Staffing, Inc.
On August 27, 2010, the Company completed the Tri-Overload Acquisition from TS Staffing through a merger of Tri-Overload into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Insurance Overload. The purchase price for Tri-Overload was $6,200, which was paid through the issuance of 8,590 shares of the Company’s common stock to a related party. The number of shares issued was based upon a negotiated $0.7218 price per share for our common stock that was determined using historical market prices. Insurance Overload operates an insurance-specific staffing business in major cities throughout the United States, furnishing temporary personnel, and makes direct hire placements in both the property/casualty/worker’s compensation insurance industry and the health insurance industry.
The Company incurred $209 in acquisition related costs in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 in connection with the Tri-Overload Acquisition.

In addition, ICG Inc. entered into a non-competition agreement with the principal of ICG Seller pursuant to which, the principal agreed not to compete with ICG Inc. or solicit its employees or customers for a five-year period commencing on the Closing Date, in exchange for payments by ICG Inc. of 1% of ICG Inc.’s sales revenue earned during the two year period commencing on the Closing Date. ICG Inc.’s payment obligations under the commission agreement and the non-competition agreement are guaranteed by Tri-State.

5. Sale of Receivables
The Company’s subsidiaries, other than ICG Inc. (see Note 7(ii)) and Accountabilities, are currently participating in trade accounts receivable purchase agreements with Wells Fargo Credit Finance, an operating division of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”). Accountabilities had participated in the Wells Fargo trade accounts receivable purchase agreements until June 13, 2011 when Accountabilities entered in a similar trade accounts receivable purchase agreement with Amerisource Funding, Inc. (“Amerisource”). Under the Wells Fargo agreements, the maximum amount of trade receivables that can be sold by the subsidiaries and affiliates in the aggregate is $50,000 with each subsidiary and affiliate subject to a limit on the amount of trade receivables that it may individually sell to Wells Fargo. As collections reduce previously sold receivables, the subsidiaries may replenish these with new receivables. As of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, trade receivables of $24,511 and $28,415 had been sold and remain outstanding, for which amounts due from Wells Fargo total $3,346 and $2,547, respectively. Interest charged on the amount of receivables sold prior to collection is charged at an annual rate of prime plus 1.5% or 2.5%. Receivables sold may not include amounts over 90 days past due. Under the terms of the agreements, with the exception of CRD permanent placement receivables, the financial institution advances 90% of the assigned receivables’ value upon sale, and the remaining 10% upon final collection. Under the terms of CRD’s agreement, the financial institution advances 65% of the assigned CRD permanent placement receivables’ value upon sale, and the remaining 35% upon final collection. The aggregate amount of trade receivables from the permanent placement business that CRD may sell to Wells Fargo at any one time is $1,250. Interest expense charged under the Wells Fargo trade accounts receivable purchase agreements are included in interest expense in the accompanying statements of operations and amounted to $482 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, including $55 from Accountabilities for interest and $40 for termination fees and $504 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, restated to include $57 for Tri-Overload and $191 for Tri-Diamond. Interest expense due to Wells Fargo for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 is $1,346, including $228 from Accountabilities for interest and $40 for termination fees and $1,010 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, restated to include $132 for Tri-Overload and $505 for Tri-Diamond. Tri-State and Robert Cassera, which together with affiliated entities and persons owned approximately 85.9% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of June 30, 2011, have guaranteed our obligations to Wells Fargo.
The trade accounts receivable purchase agreement Accountabilities entered into with Amerisource, has a term of two years and a maximum borrowing amount of $6,000 with an advance rate of 90%. The agreement provides for an interest rate of the prime rate plus 1% (with a minimum rate of 5% per annum) and a monthly collateral management fee of 0.65% of the average daily outstanding borrowings. At June 30, 2011 there were $4,366 of trade accounts receivable sold that remain outstanding, for which amounts due from Amerisource total $680. The Company paid Amerisource $34 in interest for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011.
Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 also included $91 from ICG Inc. (see Note 7(ii)) and a $19 reduction of accrued interest on an outstanding liability. Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 also includes $145 from ICG Inc. (see Note 7(ii)) and $23 of interest on an outstanding liability while interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 includes $45 of interest on an outstanding liability.

| (ii) | ICG Inc. entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with North Mill Capital, LLC (“North Mill”). Under the Financing Agreement, a term loan was made at closing to ICG Inc. in the amount of $120, which amount was required to be repaid by ICG Inc. in four consecutive monthly installments of $30 that commenced in January 2011. This term loan was fully repaid in April 2011. Also, a two year $4,200 asset-based facility, with a one year renewal option, was made available to ICG Inc., provided that borrowings under the asset-based facility are at North Mill’s discretion and are limited to the lesser of $4,200 or an amount that is 85% of ICG Inc.’s eligible accounts receivables. The Financing Agreement defines eligible receivables as accounts which are acceptable to North Mill and meet certain eligibility standards which North Mill may revise from time to time. Accounts which will generally not be eligible under such standards include, among others, accounts that are 90 days past its invoice date, accounts owed by any account debtor that has failed to pay 25% or more of its aggregate accounts within 90 days of the invoice date, related party accounts and accounts where the debtor has filed for bankruptcy. Each of the term loan and the asset-based facility are secured by substantially all of ICG Inc.’s assets. Amounts outstanding under the Financing Agreement that are less than or equal to $3,500 shall bear interest at prime plus 7.00% (with a minimum of 10.25%) and for all outstanding amounts exceeding $3,500, the interest rate shall be prime plus 8.50%. |

This balance is to be paid in four quarterly installments of $250 and thereafter 0.75% of revenue on a monthly basis until the earlier of payment of the full purchase price, or April 5, 2013. If, on April 5, 2013, the full purchase price of $3,000 has not been paid, then any remaining balance is due and payable by CRD at that time. This debt is secured by 4,257 shares of the Company’s common stock being held in escrow. Pursuant to the acquisition GT Acquisition Agreement, the Company exercised its right to repurchase 2,323 of the pledged shares during the third fiscal quarter of 2011 and expects to receive these shares in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011. |

| | |
| (vi) | In connection with the acquisition of certain assets of GT Systems, Tri-State made the initial payment of $750 on behalf of the Company. Payment of this amount to Tri-State is due on demand. This amount is classified as short term debt. |
| | |
| (vii) | An unsecured demand note was issued March 31, 2006 to an affiliate of a former director and officer of the Company, having an original principal amount of $150 and bearing annual interest at 8%. The Company has entered into various forbearance agreements, under which the holder agreed to waive defaults, refrain from exercising its rights and remedies against the Company, and effectively grant forbearance until October 31, 2008, in exchange for an increase in the interest rate to 13% per annum. On October 31, 2008, the Company entered into another forbearance agreement with the holder of the note effectively extending the terms of the original forbearance agreement until October 31, 2009. The Company received a demand for payment of outstanding principal and interest under the note in November 2010. Management contested the amounts due under this obligation and reached an agreement subsequent to June 30, 2011 (See Note 11). |
| | |
| (viii) | A $100 unsecured convertible note and 600 shares of common stock were issued on January 31, 2008 to an affiliate of a director of the Company in exchange for another note that had an outstanding principal balance of $200. This $100 unsecured convertible note was due October 31, 2008, and bore interest at an annual rate of 12%. It is convertible at any time at the option of the holder at a specified price of $0.40 per share. In the first fiscal quarter of 2011, this affiliate converted $40 into 100 unregistered shares, pursuant to the terms of this note.

The Company received a demand for payment of outstanding principal under this demand loan in November 2010. Management is contesting the amounts due under this obligation. |
8. | Stock-Based Compensation |
In September 2007, the Board of Directors of Accountabilities adopted the Accountabilities, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under the terms of the reorganization discussed in Note 1 above, the Company has assumed the Plan and any agreement that continued to remain outstanding pursuant to which restricted stock awards of Accountabilities’ common stock were granted. Effective October 22, 2009, our Board of Directors terminated the Plan, and as a result, there will be no further stock grants thereunder. However, any unvested stock grants outstanding at the time of the Plan’s termination will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the Plan. As of June 30, 2011, there were 253 shares of restricted stock that remained unvested, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $0.33.

Additionally, during the second fiscal quarter, we granted 750 shares of the Company’s common stock, and 555 restricted stock units in connection with the hiring of two executive officers of the Company and 60 shares to two other employees of the Company.
Compensation expense is measured using the grant-date fair value of the shares granted and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the required vesting period. Fair value is determined as a discount from the current market price quote to reflect a) lack of liquidity resulting from the restricted status and low trading volume of our common stock and b) private placement valuations. For the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, compensation expense relating to restricted stock awards was $1,052 and $103, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, there was $322 of total unrecognized compensation cost. The total fair value of the shares that vested during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $55 and $1,052, respectively.

Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the Company exercised its right to repurchase 2,323 of the pledged shares during the third fiscal quarter of 2011 and expects to receive these shares in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011.
11. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Accounts Receivable
In connection with the Company’s sale of its trade receivables, it is contingently liable to repurchase any receivables that are 90 days past due. The Company provides an estimated allowance for doubtful accounts to address this contingency.
Unremitted Payroll Taxes
Prior to the holding company reorganization, Accountabilities was notified by the IRS and certain state taxing authorities that a business operated though the Accountabilities corporate entity, which had ceased operations at the end of 2004, had accumulated liabilities for unremitted payroll taxes for calendar year 2004. Consequently, we recorded a liability of $700 representing the amount management believed may have been ultimately payable for this liability based upon our knowledge of the events and circumstances at the time. In June 2011 the Company agreed to pay $156 in settlement of this matter in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011.

On February 23, 2010, we completed a holding company reorganization, pursuant to which Accountabilities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Accountabilities”), which immediately prior to the reorganization was our parent company, became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
As a result of the reorganization, the former holders of Accountabilities’ common stock became owners of shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and each restricted share of Accountabilities’ common stock issued and outstanding under the Accountabilities Equity Incentive Plan immediately prior to the effective time of the reorganization was automatically converted into a similarly restricted share of our common stock. Our capitalization and consolidated assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity immediately following the reorganization remained the same as the capitalization and consolidated assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity of Accountabilities immediately prior to the reorganization.
Overview
Through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Accountabilities, Corporate Resource Development Inc. (“CRD”), Insurance Overload Services, Inc. (“Insurance Overload”), Integrated Consulting Group, Inc. (“ICG Inc.”) and Diamond Staffing Services, Inc. (“Diamond Staffing”), we are a national provider of diversified staffing, recruiting and consulting services, including temporary staffing services, with a focus on light industrial, clerical and administrative support and insurance related staffing. We provide our services across a variety of industries and to a diverse range of clients ranging from sole proprietorships to Fortune 1000 companies. We conduct all of our business in the United States from our New York City headquarters and the operation of 71 staffing and recruiting offices.
Our future profitability and rate of growth, if any, will be directly affected by our ability to continue to expand our service offerings at acceptable gross margins, and to achieve economies of scale, through the continued introduction of differentiated marketing and sales channels, and through the successful completion and integration of acquisitions. Our ability to be profitable will also be affected by the extent to which we are able to extinguish debt and incur additional expenses to increase our sales, marketing, and general and administrative capabilities to expand our business. The largest component of our operating expenses is personnel costs. Personnel costs consist of salaries, employment taxes, benefits and incentive compensation (including bonuses and stock-based compensation) for our employees. Our management expects our operating expenses will continue to grow in absolute dollars as our business continues to grow. As a percentage of revenue, we expect our operating expenses to decrease as our revenues increase.
We have financed our growth largely through the issuance of debt as well as advances from our principal shareholder and related companies and have incurred negative working capital. As of June 30, 2011, we had negative working capital of $10,897,000, including approximately $3,404,000 in the current portion of long-term debt as well as $1,836,000 of borrowings at ICG Inc. as part of an asset-based facility (the “Asset-based Facility”) with North Mill Capital, LLC (“North Mill”). Borrowings permissible under the Asset-based Facility are at North Mill’s discretion and are limited to the lesser of $4.2 million and the amount that is 85% of ICG Inc.’s eligible accounts receivables. The negative working capital at June 30, 2011 also includes liabilities of $5,384,000, which is due and payable to Tri-State Employment Services, Inc. and affiliates (“Tri-State”) for costs charged by Tri-State for professional employment organization services provided by Tri-State to us, which arise and are paid in the ordinary course of business, normally on a weekly basis. Additionally, there is $11,731,000 of accrued payroll and related costs at June 30, 2011, which were invoiced by Tri-State in July 2011 but are attributable to June 2011. In addition, as part of the acquisition of Tri-Diamond, the Company has a dividend payable to TS Staffing Corp. (“TS Staffing”), the seller of Tri-Diamond, of $987,000 at June 30, 2011.
Total outstanding debt as of June 30, 2011 was $8,651,000, $254,000 of which is past due or due upon demand. In order to service our debt and maintain our current level of operations, as well as fund the costs of being a reporting company, we must be able to generate sufficient amounts of cash flow and working capital. Our management is engaged in several strategic activities, as explained further below in “Working Capital”, to effectively accomplish these objectives.
Mergers and Acquisitions
One of our key strategies is to focus on mergers and acquisitions of companies that grow or complement our existing service offerings, expand our geographic presence and/or further expand and strengthen our existing infrastructure.
On March 24, 2010, our wholly-owned subsidiary, CRD, entered into a foreclosure and asset purchase agreement (the “GT Acquisition Agreement”) to acquire a portion of the assets of GT Systems, Inc. (“GT Systems”), a staffing company, and certain of its affiliates (collectively referred to as the “GT Entities”), through a private sale by Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. (“Rosenthal”). The transaction closed on April 5, 2010. The acquisition was made to expand the Company’s penetration of the New York tri-state region, diversify the Company’s product offerings, and take advantage of the expected economies of scale.
Pursuant to the GT Acquisition Agreement, Rosenthal foreclosed on certain assets of the GT Entities related to the temporary and permanent placement of employees, and sold the assets to CRD (the “GT Systems Acquisition”) in a secured creditor’s private sale under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code for $3,000,000 (the “GT Purchase Price”), which is being paid in installments over three years. In connection with our guarantee of the obligation of CRD to pay the GT Purchase Price, the Company issued 4,257,332 shares of the Company’s common stock to Rosenthal. Pursuant to the GT Acquisition Agreement, the Company exercised its right to repurchase 2,323,001 of the pledged shares during the third fiscal quarter of 2011 and expects to receive these shares in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011. These shares are held in escrow and are subject to a stock repurchase agreement between Rosenthal and us, pursuant to which we have the right to repurchase for a nominal price some or all of such shares as the GT Purchase Price is paid. These pledged shares are not treated as outstanding, and are not included in the number of our shares of common stock outstanding on the cover page of this Quarterly Report on Form I0-Q. Tri-State is also a guarantor of CRD’s obligation to pay the GT Purchase Price. We have accounted for this purchase using the acquisition method of accounting and the results of operations of CRD are included in our results from April 5, 2010.
On August 27, 2010, we acquired Tri-Overload from TS Staffing, a related party (the “Tri-Overload Acquisition”). Tri-Overload was merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and its name was changed to Insurance Overload Services, Inc. TS Staffing is wholly owned by Robert Cassera, who is a director of the Company. The acquisition purchase price was paid through the issuance of 8,589,637 shares of the Company’s common stock. This stock issuance increased the holdings of our outstanding shares of common stock by Mr. Cassera and TS Staffing, and their affiliated entities and persons, to approximately 74.3% on August 27, 2010. Insurance Overload is in the business of providing temporary and permanent employment services principally to the insurance industry.
Because the Company and TS Staffing and its affiliates are all under common control, the acquisition was recorded using the pooling of interests method as required under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Accordingly, all financial statements and financial information have been restated to reflect the combined companies as if the acquisition occurred on July 20, 2009, which is the date Tri-Overload was acquired by TS Staffing. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On December 14, 2010, our wholly-owned subsidiary, ICG Inc., acquired, through a public foreclosure sale, a portion of the assets of Integrated Consulting Group of NY LLC (“ICG Seller”) related to the temporary and permanent placement of employees in the light industrial industry and translation and interpreting services (the “ICG Acquisition”). The consideration for these assets included (i) the repayment of ICG Seller’s outstanding obligations on the Closing Date under its credit facility, which amounted to approximately $3.2 million, (ii) payment of up to $366,000 for outstanding accounts payable of ICG Seller as of the closing date, (iii) payments to various taxing authorities in the aggregate amount of approximately $757,000 for certain taxes owed by ICG Seller on the Closing Date, and (iv) payment of approximately $183,000 to Rosenthal, for amounts owed to it by ICG Seller on the Closing Date, which amount is to be paid in installments that commenced in January 2011. ICG Inc. also entered into a commission agreement with Rosenthal to replace a similar agreement that Rosenthal was a party to with ICG Seller and its affiliates, pursuant to which ICG Inc. is obligated to pay to Rosenthal 3% of its net sales for the next two years, and 2% of its net sales for the three-year period thereafter. In addition, ICG Inc. entered into a non-competition agreement with the principal of ICG Seller pursuant to which the principal agreed not to compete with ICG Inc. or solicit its employees or customers for a five-year period commencing December 14, 2010, in exchange for payments by ICG Inc. of 1% of ICG Inc.’s sales revenue earned during the two year period commencing December 14, 2010.
ICG Inc.’s payment obligations under the commission agreement and the non-competition agreement are guaranteed by Tri-State. We have accounted for this purchase using the acquisition method of accounting and the results of operations of ICG Inc. have been included in our results since December 14, 2010.
On January 31, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Tri-Diamond Staffing, Inc. (“Tri-Diamond”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among the Company, Diamond Staffing, Tri-Diamond, TS Staffing, the former sole owner of all of the outstanding shares of Tri-Diamond, and Diamond Staffing, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tri-Diamond. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement dated January 10, 2011, Tri-Diamond merged with and into Diamond Staffing, with Diamond Staffing continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). The Merger consideration consisted of shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $25.0 million or $0.85 per share issued. The Merger was reviewed and approved by a special committee of the Board of Directors consisting of an independent director. The special committee received a fairness opinion which indicated that the purchase price paid by the Company for Tri-Diamond as well as the price per share of the Company’s common stock used to determine the number of shares to be issued, was fair from a financial point of view to the unaffiliated stockholders of the Company.
On April 10, 2011, Diamond Staffing acquired substantially all the assets of Cameo Personnel Systems, Inc. (“Cameo”), a New Jersey-based company (the “Cameo Acquisition”). Cameo provides temporary and permanent employment staffing services and related support services out of its three offices located in New Jersey and as a licensor of Front Line Staffing, Inc, also located in New Jersey. The purchase price was $750,000, of which $350,000 was paid on the acquisition date and $400,000 is included in the Company’s long term debt as of June 30, 2011.
TS Staffing is an affiliate of Tri-State and is wholly-owned by Robert Cassera, a director of the Company. Following the consummation of the Tri-Diamond acquisition, Tri-State, together with its affiliated entities (including TS Staffing) and persons, became the beneficial owner of approximately 85.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
Management continues to seek to complete and integrate acquisitions that may grow or enhance our current service offerings, expand our geographical market presence, and effectively implement our marketing and sales strategies. Currently, management expects acquisitions to continue to constitute a significant portion of any future growth. Completing such acquisitions with unrelated third parties, however, will likely be limited by our ability to negotiate purchase terms and obtain financing on terms acceptable to us, given our current financial position as discussed below.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-28, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) (“ASU 2010-28”). This ASU amends the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350. ASU 2010-28 clarifies the requirement to test for impairment of goodwill. ASC Topic 350 has required that goodwill be tested for impairment if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Under ASU 2010-28, when the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative, an entity must assume that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, perform an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and calculate the amount of that impairment. The modifications to ASC Topic 350 resulting from the issuance of ASU 2010-28 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company cannot presently determine what effect, if any, the application of the amendments in ASU 2010-28 may have on its financial statements.
Results of Operations
The Company’s subsidiaries completed the following acquisitions in fiscal years 2010 and 2011:

The acquisitions of Tri-Overload and Tri-Diamond have been accounted for as a pooling of interests by a related party, and as a result, the Company’s results of operations have been restated to include the results of operations of Tri-Overload as if the Company’s acquisition had occured on July 20, 2009 and Tri-Diamond as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2009, the respective dates each was acquired by the related party.
Three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to three months ended June 30, 2010
Revenues
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, revenue increased $25,249,000 or 38.8% to $90,311,000 as compared to $65,062,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, which was restated to include $6,495,000 in revenue from Tri-Overload and $26,045,000 from Tri-Diamond. Of the increase in the third fiscal quarter of 2011, $7,290,000 was attributable to ICG Inc. which was acquired after June 30, 2010 from an unrelated third party and, therefore, was not included in restatements of fiscal year 2010 results.
Revenue attributable to Accountabilities decreased by $831,000, or 5.8%, to $13,405,000, in the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $14,236,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 2010 due to the Company’s decision to exit lower margin accounts and an increased competitive environment. CRD revenues increased $1,505,000 or 8.2% from $18,286,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $19,791,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to slightly improved economic conditions as well as a continued focus on restructuring the CRD sales teams. Insurance Overload revenues increased from $6,495,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 to $7,374,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of $879,000 or 13.5%. Insurance Overload’s improvement was also due to slightly more favorable economic conditions as well as positive results from a restructuring of its sales force. Diamond Staffing revenues increased from $26,045,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 to $42,451,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of $16,406,000 or 63.0%. Diamond Staffing’s improvement was due to strong organic growth, revenues from major customer revenues added in the second fiscal quarter of 2011 of $6.0 million and Cameo revenues of $2.7 million as well as revenues from businesses Tri-Diamond acquired prior to Diamond Staffing acquiring Tri-Diamond.
Starting in fiscal 2009, the Company decided to focus more of its efforts on providing temporary commercial staffing and decrease its activities in the permanent placement of personnel. Consequently, there was no permanent placement revenue and gross profit for the Company in fiscal 2009. However, a portion of the acquired businesses of the former GT Systems, Tri-Overload and Tri-Diamond focused on permanent placement of personnel. The Company recognized approximately $1.8 million and $1.3 million in revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively, from this business.
Direct cost of producing revenues
Tri-State affiliates provide professional employer services to the Company. Professional employer services rendered include the provision of payroll services, benefits and workers compensation insurance coverage. These arrangements allow us to mitigate certain insurance risks and obtain employee benefits at more advantageous rates. The costs of the professional employer services are included in direct cost of services.
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, direct cost of services increased $23,330,000 or 43.4% to $77,138,000 as compared to $53,808,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, which was restated to include $5,175,000 in direct cost of services from Tri-Overload and $22,758,000 from Tri-Diamond. Of the increase for the quarter, $6,244,000 was attributable to ICG Inc. Direct cost of producing revenues at Accountabilities decreased by $563,000, or 4.4% to $12,230,000 as compared to $12,793,000 in the third fiscal quarter of 2010. This decrease was primarily due to the 5.8% decrease in revenues described above, as well as increases in state unemployment tax rates. CRD’s direct cost of revenues increased $1,369,000 or 10.5% from $13,082,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $14,451,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to an 8.2% improvement in revenues. Insurance Overload’s direct costs of producing revenues increased $713,000 or 13.8% to $5,888,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $5,175,000 in the comparable period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to Insurance Overload’s 13.5% revenue growth for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Diamond Staffing’s direct cost of producing revenue increased $15,567,000 or 68.4% from $22,758,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 to $38,325,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to Diamond Staffing’s 63.0% revenue growth, including the Cameo acquisition of $2.4 million, increased payroll administration costs and increased payroll tax rates in certain states.
Gross profit
For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, gross profit increased $1,919,000 or 17.1% to $13,173,000 or 14.6% as a percentage of revenues compared to $11,254,000 or 17.3% as a percentage of revenues in the comparable quarter in 2010, which was restated to include $1,320,000 and $3,287,000 in gross profit from Insurance Overload and Diamond Staffing, respectively. Of the increase for the quarter, $1,046,000 was attributable to ICG Inc. and revenue growth partially offset by lower gross margins. Gross profit at Accountabilities decreased $268,000 to $1,175,000 from $1,443,000 in the previous year. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit for fiscal 2011 decreased to 8.8% at Accountabilities, as compared to 10.1% in the prior year, primarily due to higher state unemployment tax rates. Gross profit at CRD increased $136,000 or 2.6% to $5,340,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $5,204,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to revenue growth partially offset by lower margins. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit at CRD decreased to 27.0% in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011 from 28.5% in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 due to increasing revenues from high volume, lower margin clients and competitive pricing pressure. Gross profit at Insurance Overload increased $166,000 or 12.6% to $1,486,000 from $1,320,000 in the previous year primarily due to revenue growth. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit for third fiscal quarter of 2011 decreased to 20.2% at Insurance Overload, as compared to 20.3% in the third fiscal quarter of 2010. Gross profit at Diamond Staffing increased $839,000 to $4,126,000 from $3,287,000 in the previous year. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit in the third quarter of 2011 decreased to 9.7% at Diamond Staffing, as compared to 12.6 % in the comparable period of 2010 due to the competitive environment increased payroll administration costs and increased payroll tax rates in states such as California.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,867,000 or 18.1% to $12,199,000, or 13.5% of revenues, as compared to $10,332,000, or 15.9% of revenues, in the same quarter of fiscal year 2010, which was restated to include $1,324,000 and $2,121,000 from Tri-Overload and Tri-Diamond, respectively. The dollar increase was primarily due to operating expenses of $865,000 at ICG Inc. and increased selling expenses related to the increase in revenues. This increase was partially offset by a reduction of a liability due to the Internal Revenue Service of $544,000 that was related to Accountabilities’ business prior to the holding company reorganization. In addition to this write-off, the decrease in selling general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue of 2.4% was due to the efficiencies realized in consolidating the Company’s acquisitions.
Depreciation and amortization
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, depreciation and amortization decreased $137,000 to $643,000 as compared to $780,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010, which was restated to include $84,000 and $214,000 from Tri-Overload and Tri-Diamond, respectively. The decrease in the third fiscal quarter occurred despite $281,000 attributable to ICG Inc. The year-over-year net decrease after accounting for CRD and ICG Inc. acquisition-related intangible amortization (adding ICG Inc. to the third quarter 2010 results) of $418,000 is due to certain intangible assets that have been fully amortized.
Other income
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, CRD earned income of $446,000 under a service and collections agreement with Rosenthal, whereby the Company provided services to assist Rosenthal in collecting the outstanding receivables on behalf of the lender and its owner.
Income from operations
The factors described above resulted in a decrease in income from operations of $257,000, from $588,000, restated to include a loss of $88,000 at Tri-Overload and income of $952,000 at Tri-Diamond, in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $331,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The Company performed these services through the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010.
Interest expense
Interest expense includes the net discounts associated with the sales of accounts receivable, as well as interest on debt associated with acquired companies and financing our operations. For the third quarter of fiscal 2011, interest expense increased $84,000 to $588,000 as compared to $504,000 the same period in fiscal 2010, which was restated to include $57,000 and $191,000 of interest expense from Tri-Overload and Tri-Diamond, respectively. Of this increase, $91,000 was attributable to ICG Inc. The net decrease (including ICG Inc.) of $7,000 was due to lower weighted average borrowing rates and improved days outstanding on receivables that interest accrued. The decrease was partially offset by Accountabilities incurring higher financing rates at Amerisource Funding, Inc. (“Amerisource”) from June 13, 2011, a $40,000 termination fee from Wells Fargo Credit Finance operating division (“Wells Fargo Credit Finance”) of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) and financing the continued growth of our business. Substantial efforts have been and continue to be made to reduce outstanding balances on our sold accounts receivable, which in effect, reduces the interest charged on those balances.
Acquisitions related expense
Acquisition expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $194,000 to $10,000 from $204,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The expenses in the current quarter were due to the Cameo Acquisition which occurred on April 10, 2011 and the prior year was due to the acquisition of CRD, which occurred on April 5, 2010. These expenses consisted primarily of legal and accounting fees.
Income tax provision
In the quarter ended June 30, 2011 the Company incurred payments of $24,000 related to state income taxes.
Net loss
The factors described above resulted in a net loss of ($291,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to a loss of ($120,000) in the comparable period in fiscal 2010, restated to include a loss of $145,000 and gain of $761,000 from Tri-Overload and Tri-Diamond, respectively, in the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to nine months ended June 30, 2010
Revenues
For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, revenue increased $100,383,000 or 68.9% to $246,023,000 as compared to $145,640,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, which was restated to include $19,348,000 in revenue from Tri-Overload and $66,134,000 from Tri-Diamond. Of the increase for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, $35,585,000 was attributable to CRD, which was acquired on April 5, 2010 and $15,531,000 was attributable to ICG Inc., which was acquired on December 14, 2010 from an unrelated third party.
Revenues attributable to Accountabilities increased by $682,000 or 1.6%, to $42,554,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $41,872,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. CRD revenues increased $38,585,000 from $18,286,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 to $56,871,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to the inclusion of the full nine month period in 2011 versus only three months in 2010, slightly improved economic conditions as well as the realization of our continued focus on restructuring the CRD sales teams. Insurance Overload revenues increased from $19,348,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 to $22,839,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 2011, an increase of $3,491,000 or 18.0%. Insurance Overload’s improvement was due to more favorable economic conditions as well as positive results from a restructuring of its sales force. Diamond Staffing revenues increased from $66,134,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 to $108,228,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 2011, an increase of $42,094,000 or 63.6%. Diamond Staffing’s improvement was due to strong organic growth, increased revenues from an acquisition in the second fiscal quarter of 2010 of $3.2 million, revenues from major customer revenues added in the second fiscal quarter of 2011 of $10.0 million and Cameo revenues of $2.7 million.
Starting in fiscal 2009, the Company decided to focus more of its efforts on providing temporary commercial staffing and decrease its activities in the permanent placement of personnel. Consequently, there was no permanent placement revenue and gross profit for the Company in fiscal year 2009. However, a portion of the acquired businesses of the former GT Systems, Tri-Overload and Tri-Diamond focused on permanent placement of personnel. The Company recognized approximately $4.9 million and $2.5 million in revenue in the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, from permanent placements.
Direct cost of producing revenues
Tri-State affiliates provide professional employer services to the Company. Professional employer services rendered include the provision of payroll services, benefits and workers compensation insurance coverage. These arrangements allow us to mitigate certain insurance risks and obtain employee benefits at more advantageous rates. The costs of the professional employer services are included in direct cost of services.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, direct cost of services increased $85,102,000 or 69.5% to $207,469,000, as compared to $122,367,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, which was restated to include $15,123,000 in direct cost of producing revenues from Tri-Overload, and $56,456,000 from Tri-Diamond. Of the increase for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, $28,376,000 was attributable to CRD, which was acquired on April 5, 2010 from an unrelated third party and $13,156,000 was attributable to ICG Inc., which was acquired on December 14, 2010 from an unrelated third party. Direct cost of revenues at Accountabilities increased $827,000, or 2.2%, to $38,533,000 as compared to $37,706,000 in the first nine months of 2010. This increase was primarily due to the 1.6% increase in revenues described above, as well as increases in state unemployment tax rates. CRD’s direct cost of revenues increased $28,376,000 from $13,082,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 to $41,458,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to the inclusion of nine months in 2011 and only three months in the 2010 period, partially offset by competitive pricing pressure. Insurance Overload’s direct costs of producing revenues increased $2,874,000 or 19.0% to $17,997,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 from $15,123,000 in the comparable period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to Insurance Overload’s 18.0% revenue growth for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. Diamond Staffing’s direct cost of producing revenue increased $39,867,000 or 70.6% from $56,456,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 to $96,323,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to Diamond Staffing’s revenue growth of 63.6%, including the Cameo acquisition of $2.4 million, increased payroll administration costs and higher payroll tax rates in states such as California.
Gross profit
For the nine months ended June 30, 2011 gross profit increased $15,281,000 to $38,554,000 as compared to $23,273,000 in the comparable 2010 period, which was restated to include $4,225,000 in gross profit from Insurance Overload and $9,678,000 from Diamond Staffing. Of the increase for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, $10,209,000 was attributable to CRD, which was acquired on April 5, 2010 from an unrelated third party and $2,373,000 was attributable to ICG Inc., which was acquired on December 14, 2010 from an unrelated third party. Gross profit at Accountabilities decreased $145,000 to $4,021,000 from $4,166,000 in the previous year. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit for fiscal 2011 decreased to 9.4% at Accountabilities, as compared to 9.9% in the prior year on higher unemployment costs. Gross profit at CRD increased from $5,204,000, or 28.5% of revenues, $10,209,000 to $15,413,000, or 27.1% of revenues. The dollar increase was due to a full nine months in the 2011 period versus only three months in the 2010 period, while the margin decrease was due to increasing revenues from high volume, lower margin clients and competitive pricing pressure. Gross profit at Insurance Overload increased $617,000 to $4,842,000 from $4,225,000 in the previous year. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit year-to-date 2011 decreased to 21.2% at Insurance Overload, as compared to 21.6% in the comparable period of 2010 due to increased administrative costs. Gross profit at Diamond Staffing increased $2,227,000 to $11,905,000 from $9,678,000 in the previous year. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit year-to-date 2011 decreased to 11.0% at Diamond Staffing, as compared to 14.6% in the comparable period of 2010 due to the competitive environment, increased payroll administration costs and higher payroll tax rates in states such as California.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $14,487,000 or 65.8% to $36,499,000, or 14.8% of revenues, as compared to $22,012,000, or 15.1% of revenues, in the same period of fiscal year 2010, which was restated to include $3,593,000 and $7,970,000 from Tri-Overload and Tri-Diamond, respectively. Of the increase for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, $9,739,000 was attributable to CRD, which was acquired on April 5, 2010 from an unrelated third party and $1,993,000 was attributable to ICG Inc., which was acquired on December 14, 2010 from an unrelated third party. Additionally, the Company accrued $1,052,000 of stock compensation expense in the nine months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $949,000 over the nine months ended June 30, 2010, as the Company awarded equity grants to two newly appointed executive officers and incurred increased costs on higher revenues, but the leveraging an increasing revenue base decreased selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues by 0.3%. Also, in the quarter ended December 31, 2010, increased legal and workers’ compensation costs and other charges totaling approximately $1.6 million at Diamond Staffing were offset by the elimination of certain reserves and long term debt at Insurance Overload of approximately $1.0 million. This net increase was partially offset by a reduction of a liability due to the Internal Revenue Service of $544,000 that was related to Accountabilities’ business prior to the holding company reorganization.
Depreciation and amortization
For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, depreciation and amortization increased $307,000 to $1,905,000 as compared to $1,598,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2010, which was restated to include $200,000 and $750,000 from Tri-Overload and Tri-Diamond, respectively. Of the increase for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, $211,000 was attributable to CRD, which was acquired on April 5, 2010 from an unrelated third party and $631,000 at ICG Inc., which was acquired on December 14, 2010 from an unrelated third party. The year-over-year net decrease after accounting for CRD and ICG Inc. acquisition-related intangible amortization (adding CRD and ICG Inc. to the year-to-date 2010 results) of $535,000 is due to certain intangible assets that have been fully amortized.
Other income
Other income of $40,000 and $446,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, was attributable to CRD for amounts earned under a service and collections agreement with Rosenthal, whereby the Company provides services to assist Rosenthal in collecting the outstanding receivables on behalf of the lender and its owner. The Company performed these services through the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010.
Income from operations
The factors described above resulted in an increase in income from operations of $81,000 from $109,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, restated to include income of $432,000 and $958,000 at Tri-Overload and Tri-Diamond, respectively, to income of $190,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011.
Interest expense
Interest expense includes the net discounts associated with the sales of accounts receivable, as well as interest on debt associated with acquired companies and financing our operations. For the first nine months of fiscal 2011, interest expense increased $493,000 to $1,548,000 as compared to $1,055,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 2010, which was restated to include $132,000 and $505,000 of interest expense from Tri-Overload and Tri-Diamond, respectively. Of the increase for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, $273,000 was attributable to CRD, which was acquired on April 5, 2010 from an unrelated third party and $145,000 was attributable to ICG Inc., which was acquired on December 14, 2010. Interest expense at Accountabilities increased by $41,000 or 18.4%, to $264,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 due primarily to higher financing rates at Amerisource from June 13, 2011 and a $40,000 termination fee from Wells Fargo Credit Finance partially offset by a negotiated reduction in debt with a note holder of approximately $550,000 and the assumption of approximately $1.2 million of debt by Tri-State in exchange for 6,000,000 shares of our common stock in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2010. The remaining increase was due to financing the growth of the business. Substantial efforts have been and continue to be made to reduce outstanding balances on our sold accounts receivable, which in effect, reduces the interest charged on those balances.
Acquisitions related expense
We incurred acquisition expenses of $731,000 and $204,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Expenses for the period ended June 30, 2011 were incurred for expenses relating to the ICG Inc. acquisition on December 14, 2010, Tri-Diamond acquisition on January 31, 2011 and Cameo Acquisition on April 10, 2011 of $407,000, $314,000 and $10,000, respectively, while expenses for the period ended June 30, 2010 related to the acquisition of CRD on April 5, 2010. These expenses consisted primarily of legal and accounting fees.
Loss on debt extinguishments
On February 22, 2010, Tri-State agreed to assume our obligation to make a series of payments totaling $545,000 to the former owner of ReStaff in relation to our entry into a settlement and release agreement with the former owner of ReStaff on February 5, 2010. In exchange for the assumption of this payment obligation and Tri-State’s lead in negotiating the disputed amount, we agreed to issue 3,666,667 shares of our common stock to Tri-State. We recorded a loss of $922,000 on the extinguishment of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2010, representing the difference between the fair value of the shares issued on the date of the exchange and $545,000. The fair value of the shares issued on the date of the exchange was determined by reference to the per share closing price of our common stock on the date of the exchange, which was $0.40.
On December 29, 2009, we entered into an exchange agreement with Tri-State, whereby all amounts due to Tri-State under the terms of notes recently acquired by Tri-State from a third party were settled in full, in exchange for the issuance to Tri-State of shares of our common stock. On the date of the exchange, there was $590,000 in principal and accrued interest of $52,000 outstanding on the notes for which we issued 2,333,333 shares of our common stock. Loss on debt extinguishment of $501,000 was measured as the difference between the fair value of the common stock we issued and the remaining outstanding principal and accrued interest on the notes that were exchanged during the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
Income tax provision
For the nine months ended June 30, 2011 the Company incurred payments of $24,000 due to state income taxes.
Net loss
The factors described above resulted in a net loss of ($2,113,000) for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to a net loss of ($2,573,000) in the comparable period in fiscal 2010, restated to include gains of $300,000 and $453,000 from Tri-Overload and Tri-Diamond, respectively, in the nine months ended June 30, 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
We have been relying on funding from related parties to supplement cash flows from operations, borrowings under debt facilities, the sale of our trade receivables prior to collection and proceeds from issuance of our common stock to satisfy our working capital requirements and to fund acquisitions. In the future, we may need to raise additional funds through debt or equity financings to satisfy our working capital, take advantage of business opportunities, including growth of our existing business and mergers and acquisitions. To the extent that funds are not available to meet our operating needs, we may have to further seek additional reductions in operating expenditures and/or increases in operating efficiencies.
At June 30, 2011, cash was $484,000, an increase of $230,000 from $254,000 as of September 30, 2010.
Net cash flows provided by operating activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2011, were $1,586,000 as compared to ($366,000) used in operating activities during the same period of the prior year. This increase of $1,952,000 reflects net cash inflows from trade accounts receivables of $3,236,000, an increase in cash generated adjustments to reconcile net loss to operating activities of $380,000 partially offset by a decrease in cash used in payables and accrued wages and related obligations due to Tri-State of ($1,492,000), and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of ($172,000).
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2011, increased $457,000 to ($438,000) from ($19,000) during the same period of the prior year, due primarily to investments in the acquisition of ICG Inc. and Cameo of $50,000 and $350,000, respectively, and an increase in capital expenditures of $19,000.
Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2011, increased by $1,273,000 to ($918,000) from cash provided by financing activities of $355,000 during the same period of the prior year. This increase was due to a decrease in net advances from related parties of ($1,480,000), partially offset by a decrease in net repayments on long-term debt and the Asset-based Facility of $207,000.
Reliance on Related Parties
The Company has been relying on funding from related parties in order to meet its liquidity needs, such as the debt described above. Management believes that the advantages the Company derived from obtaining funding from related parties include a shortened length of time to identify and obtain funding sources and the lack of agent or broker compensation often deducted from gross proceeds available to the Company. Management anticipates the Company will continue to have significant working capital requirements to fund its growth and operations, and to the extent the Company does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet these working capital requirements, the Company will continue to seek other sources of funding, including through the issuance of related party debt.
The Company must generate sufficient levels of positive net cash flows in order to service its debt and to fund ongoing operations. As of June 30, 2011 current liabilities exceeded current assets by $10,897,000. However, subsequent to June 30, 2011, the Company has been engaging in several activities to further increase current assets and/or decrease current liabilities, including seeking additional reductions in operating expenditures and increases in operating efficiencies.
Working Capital
As of June 30, 2011, we had negative working capital of ($10,897,000). The largest component of the negative working capital at June 30, 2011 is $11,731,000 that is due and payable to Tri-State relating to costs charged by Tri-State for professional employment organization services provided by Tri-State to us, which arise and are paid in the ordinary course of business, normally on a weekly basis. Other large components of the negative working capital are amounts due to related parties of $5,384,000, and the current portion of long-term debt of $5,240,000, $1,004,000 of which represents the current portion of related party long-term debt. Within the current portion of long-term debt, $254,000 is past due or due upon demand as explained further below. Total outstanding debt as of June 30, 2011 was $8,651,000. The working capital deficit of ($10,897,000) as of June 30, 2011 represents an increase in the deficit of $876,000 as compared to a working capital deficit of ($10,021,000) as of September 30, 2010. In order to service our debt, maintain our current level of operations and finance our growth initiatives, we must be able to generate sufficient amounts of cash flow and working capital. Our management has engaged and continues to engage in the following activities to effectively accomplish these objectives:
| a) | On December 29, 2009, we entered into an exchange agreement with Tri-State, whereby all amounts due to Tri-State under the terms of notes acquired by Tri-State from a third party were settled in full, in exchange for the issuance of shares of our common stock. On the date of the exchange, there was $590,000 in principal and accrued interest of $52,000 outstanding on the notes for which we issued 2,333,333 shares of our common stock. Loss on debt extinguishment of $501,000 was measured as the difference between the fair value of the common stock we issued and the remaining outstanding principal and accrued interest on the notes that were exchanged during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. |
| b) | In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we discontinued the operations associated with the direct provision of accounting and finance services in order to focus management’s efforts, as well as our capital, more directly on our light industrial, and clerical and administrative service offerings. |
| c) | On February 5, 2010, we entered into a settlement and release agreement with the former owner of Restaff Services, Inc. (“ReStaff”), whereby all obligations we owed to ReStaff were released in exchange for a series of payments totaling $545,000. These obligations included the remaining principal of $1,056,000 outstanding on a note, $75,000 previously included in demand loans and $34,000 in accrued interest payable. |
| d) | On February 22, 2010, Tri-State agreed to assume our obligation to make the $545,000 series of payments to the former owner of ReStaff under our February 5, 2010 settlement and release agreement. In exchange for the assumption of this payment obligation and Tri-State’s lead in negotiating the disputed amount, we agreed to issue 3,666,667 shares of our common stock to Tri-State. We recorded a loss of $922,000 on the extinguishment of debt, representing the difference between the fair value of the shares issued on the date of the exchange and $545,000. The fair value of the shares issued on the date of the exchange was determined by reference to the per share closing price of our common stock on the date of the exchange, which was $0.40 |
| e) | On March 24, 2010, CRD entered into a foreclosure and asset purchase agreement to acquire a portion of the assets of GT Systems, Inc., a staffing company, and certain of its affiliates, collectively referred to as the GT Entities, through a private sale by Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc., or Rosenthal. The transaction closed on April 5, 2010. Pursuant to the GT Acquisition Agreement, Rosenthal foreclosed on certain assets of the GT Entities, related to the temporary and permanent placement of employees, and sold the assets to CRD in a secured creditor’s private sale under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code for $3,000,000 in cash, or the Purchase Price. In connection with our guarantee of the obligation of CRD to pay the GT Purchase Price, on April 5, 2010 the Company issued 4,257,332 shares of the Company’s common stock to Rosenthal. These shares are held in escrow and are subject to a stock repurchase agreement, dated April 5, 2010, between Rosenthal and us, pursuant to which we have the right to repurchase some or all of such shares as the Purchase Price is paid. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the Company exercised its right to repurchase 2,323,001 of the pledged shares during the third fiscal quarter of 2011 and expects to receive these shares in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011. These shares are not treated as outstanding for these financial statements, and are not included in the number of the Company’s shares of common stock outstanding on the cover page of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Tri-State is also a guarantor of CRD’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price. |
| f) | On May 3, 2010, CRD entered into an account purchase agreement with Tri-State. Under the terms of the account purchase agreement, CRD sold its receivables to Tri-State. The maximum amount of trade receivables was $45 million for which Tri-State would advance 90% of the assigned receivables’ value upon sale, and 10% upon final collection, subject to certain offsets. The risk CRD bore from bad debt losses on trade receivables sold was retained by CRD, and receivables sold which became greater than 90 days old could be charged back to CRD by Tri-State. This agreement was terminated on November 2, 2010 and replaced by an account purchase agreement with Wells Fargo. See Note 5 of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |
| g) | In connection with our acquisition of CRD, on April 5, 2010, Tri-State provided the initial down payment of $750,000. In addition, Tri-State has made the first installment payment of $250,000 due in July and CRD made the payments due since October 2010. |
| h) | In connection with the ICG Acquisition, Tri-State provided ICG Seller $250,000 prior to the close of the acquisition on December 14, 2010 |
| i) | In connection with the acquisition of Tri-Diamond, the Company agreed to make a dividend payment of $987,000 to TS Staffing that was payable as of June 30, 2011. |
| j) | Tri-State has provided further financial accommodations to us by allowing us to delay from time to time amounts due to Tri-State under our professional services arrangement with Tri-State’s affiliates. |
| k) | We are aggressively managing cash and expenses with activities such as seeking additional efficiencies in our operating offices and corporate functions (including headcount reductions, if appropriate), improving our accounts receivable collection efforts and obtaining more favorable vendor terms. |
We believe, based on the above activities and our current expectations, that we have adequate resources to meet our operating needs through June 30, 2012. The Company’s subsidiaries, other than ICG Inc. (see Note 7(ii) of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and Accountabilities, have entered into trade account receivable purchase agreements with Wells Fargo Credit Finance. Accountabilities had participated in the Wells Fargo trade accounts receivable purchase agreements until June 13, 2011 when Accountabilities entered into a similar trade accounts receivable purchase agreement with Amerisource. Under the Wells Fargo agreements, the maximum amount of trade receivables that can be sold by the subsidiaries in the aggregate is $50 million, with each subsidiary subject to a limit on the amount of trade receivables that it may individually sell to Wells Fargo. As collections reduce previously sold receivables, the subsidiaries may replenish these with new receivables. As of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, trade receivables of $24,511,000 and $28,415,000 had been sold and remain outstanding, for which amounts due from Wells Fargo total $3,346,000 and $2,547,000, respectively. Interest charged on the amount of receivables sold prior to collection is charged at an annual rate of prime plus 1.5% or 2.5%. Receivables sold may not include amounts over 90 days past due. Under the terms of the agreements, with the exception of CRD permanent placement receivables, the financial institution advances 90% of the assigned receivables’ value upon sale, and the remaining 10% upon final collection. Under the term of CRD’s agreement, the financial institution advances 65% of the assigned CRD permanent placement receivables’ value upon sale, and the remaining 35% upon final collection. The aggregate amount of trade receivables from the permanent placement business that CRD may sell to Wells Fargo at any one time is $1,250,000. Interest expense charged under the trade accounts receivable purchase agreements are included in interest expense in the accompanying Statements of Operations and amounted to $1,346,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and $1,010,000, restated to include $132,000 for Tri-Overload and $505,000 for Tri-Diamond, respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.
The trade accounts receivable purchase agreement Accountabilities entered into with Amerisource, has a term of two years and a maximum borrowing amount of $6,000,000 with an advance rate of 90%. The agreement provides for an interest rate is the prime rate plus 1% (with a minimum rate of 5% per annum) and a monthly collateral management fee of 0.65% of the average daily outstanding borrowings. At June 30, 2011 there were $4,366,000 of trade accounts receivables sold that remain outstanding, for which amounts due from Amerisource total $680,000. The Company paid Amerisource $34,000 in interest for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011.
Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 also included $91,000 from ICG Inc. (see Note 7(ii) of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and a $19,000 reduction of accrued interest on an outstanding liability. Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 also includes $145,000 from ICG Inc. (see Note 7(ii) of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and $23,000 interest on an outstanding liability while interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 includes $45,000 of interest on an outstanding liability.
Sales of Common Stock
The Company did not issue any shares of its common or preferred stock in the third fiscal quarter of 2011.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preceding discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and the rules of the SEC. The preparation of these financial statements 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.
The following represents a summary of the critical accounting policies, which our management believes are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and involve inherently uncertain issues that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.
Revenue Recognition. We recognize staffing and consulting revenues when professionals deliver services. Permanent placement revenue is recognized when the candidate commences employment, net of an allowance for those not expected to remain with clients through a 90-day guarantee period, wherein we are obligated to find a suitable replacement.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from our clients failing to make required payments for services rendered. Our management estimates this allowance based upon knowledge of the financial condition of our clients, review of historical receivable and reserve trends and other pertinent information. If the financial condition of any of our clients deteriorates or there is an unfavorable trend in aggregate receivable collections, additional allowances may be required.
Stock-Based Compensation. We calculate stock-based compensation expense using the fair value method required by U.S. GAAP. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods.
Income Taxes. We account for income taxes using the liability method. Under that method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the estimated tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. If necessary, valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized when, in management’s opinion, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The estimated provision for income taxes represents current taxes that would be payable net of the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. We evaluate the probable resolution of tax positions based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination, presuming that the tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions are adequate, actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
Intangible Assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not subject to amortization but are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We perform an annual impairment analysis to test for impairment. No impairment was indicated by our latest impairment analysis. Intangible assets with finite lives are subject to amortization over the period they are expected to benefit and impairment reviews are performed when there is an indication that the asset might be impaired.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not Applicable.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Based on this evaluation, we noted that certain changes to the design of our disclosure controls and procedures had not been made that were necessary to reflect significant changes that occurred in our senior management and board of directors. Due to this, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2011.
During the third fiscal quarter of 2011, we continued implementing the process of remediating the material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting identified in our assessment as of our fiscal year end September 30, 2010. This process has included changes to our internal controls over financial reporting, which include adding a Chief Financial Officer and a Controller to our management team as well improving the internal control environment, including segregation of duties and establishing a uniform periodic financial review process.
