Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Shareholder of
TS Staffing Corp.
We have audited the balance sheets – parent-only of TS Staffing Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations – parent-only and changes in shareholder’s equity – parent-only and cash flows – parent-only for the years then ended. These parent-only financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these parent-only financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying parent-only financial statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in satisfaction of SEC Rule 8-04 of Regulation S-X, “Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired or to be Acquired” (for inclusion in the Form 8-K of Corporate Resource Services, Inc. reporting the acquisition of TS Staffing Corp.) as described in Note 1 and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Company’s financial statements.
In our opinion, the parent-only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position – parent-only of TS Staffing Corp. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations – parent-only and its cash flows – parent-only for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
| TS Staffing Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida in January 2008 (as a successor to Tri-State Staffing, Inc.) and is a national provider of temporary staffing services, predominantly in the areas of light industrial and administrative support. Light industrial services include employee assignments in warehouses, production, manufacturing and distribution at client locations. Administrative support consists of office and clerical assignments at many of the same client locations. The Company is fully responsible for all payroll tax and insurance expense incurred as a result of these assignments. Assignments are facilitated through the Company’s offices and “on-site” locations throughout the United States. |
Parent-Only Financial Statements
These parent-only financial statements have been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 8-04 of Regulation S-X for filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related to the Company’s acquisition by Corporate Resource Services, Inc. (“CRS”), an affiliate of the Company through common ownership, for inclusion in the Form 8-K of CRS. The parent-only financial statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Company’s financial statements.
The Company represents a stand-alone business for which its assets and liabilities are specifically identifiable. In order to more accurately reflect the historical operations of the Company on a stand-alone basis and to provide the relevant information necessary for investors due to CRS’s previous acquisitions and reporting of Tri-Overload Staffing, Inc. (“Tri-Overload”) and Tri-Diamond Staffing, Inc. (“Tri-Diamond”), these financial statements have been presented as parent-only financial statements. In addition, the equity method of accounting is also being used to account for the Company’s investment in CRS because the financial statements are being prepared as parent-only financial statements.
The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Tri-Overload Staffing, Inc. (“Tri-Overload”) was acquired by CRS on August 27, 2010 (see Note 6).
The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Tri-Diamond Staffing, Inc. (“Tri-Diamond”) was acquired by CRS on January 10, 2011 (see Note 6).
The Company’s formerly wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tri-Overload and Tri-Diamond through their respective dates of disposition have been presented using the equity method of accounting.
As a result of the disposition of Tri-Overload, the Company’s percentage of ownership in CRS amounted to 12.74% as of December 31, 2010. As of January 31, 2011, the effective date of disposition of Tri-Diamond, the Company’s ownership percentage in CRS increased to 56.35%.
The Company and CRS are considered entities under common control. The Company’s acquisition of 56.35% of CRS common stock was recorded using the pooling-of-interest method as required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for business combinations of entities under common control. Accordingly, the financial information for all periods presented reflects the equity method of accounting in CRS as if the Company had a 56.35% interest in CRS as of January 1, 2009.
2. �� Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
| The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
TS Staffing Corp. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2010 and 2009 (all information related to the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is unaudited) |
Revenue Recognition
| Revenues from temporary services provided are recognized when services are performed, and are billed weekly or monthly. Unbilled receivables represent services that have been performed but have not been billed as of period end. |
Accounts Receivable
| Trade accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable meeting certain eligibility criteria may be sold to a financial institution under a factoring agreement. These transactions do not meet the requirement for derecognition. The factored receivables are included in accounts receivable and the advances received by the Company are accounted for as secured borrowings. |
| The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowances based on historical write-off experience and management’s assessment of any specific customer collection issues. Account balances are written-off after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. |
Cash
| The Company places its cash with U.S. financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times, such balances may exceed this limit, however, the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. |
Property and Equipment
| Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while significant betterments and renewals are capitalized. Depreciation is provided under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. |
| For the reasons presented in Note 1, the Company accounted for its investments in its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tri-Overload and Tri-Diamond, using the equity method of accounting through the date of sale. The Company also accounts for its investment in CRS using the equity method of accounting (see Note 1). |
Under the equity method of accounting, the Company recognizes its pro-rata share of the entity’s income or loss in earnings. Distributions from the affiliate are reflected as a reduction of the investment.
Goodwill
| Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is required to be tested annually for impairment on December 31 or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. A determination is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, the fair value of a reporting unit is determined and compared to its carrying amount. Second, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. No goodwill impairment was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. |

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
| Long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. |
Worker’s Compensation Claims and Expenses
| The Company is self-insured for certain losses relating to worker’s compensation claims. The Company has stop-loss coverage to limit the exposure arising from these claims. Self-insurance claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based upon management’s estimates of the discounted ultimate cost for uninsured claims incurred using actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and historical experience. Although management believes it has the ability to reasonably estimate losses related to claims, it is possible that actual results could differ from recorded self-insurance liabilities. Lumbermen’s Underwriting Alliance is the worker’s compensation provider. To secure the worker’s compensation liability, the Company has issued collateral through letters of credit and cash (see Notes 10 and 12). There is a cross guarantee with Tri-State Employment Services, Inc., an entity related by common control, with regard to the worker’s compensation liability. |
As of September 30, 2011, the Company transferred the administration of its worker’s compensation liability to Tri-State Employment Services, Inc. (see Note 10).
Concentration of Credit Risk
| Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. To minimize risk, ongoing credit assessments of customers’ financial condition are performed, although collateral, to date, has not been required. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. |
Income Taxes
| Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable earnings. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. |
| The Company follows the provisions of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This provision addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under the guidance, the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. The determination is based on the technical merits of the position and presumes that each uncertain tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The Company has no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. |
| The Company classifies interest and if applicable, penalties related to income tax liabilities as a component of income tax expense. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The year ended December 31, 2008 is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service and 2009 and 2010 remain open. |

Legal Proceedings and Claims
The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit related to the acquisition of Industrial Apple, Inc. (d/b/a American Workforce) in 2007. The complainant alleged that the Company breached the provisions of the asset purchase agreement and the promissory note issued related to the acquisition and seeks an amount in excess of $1,020,000. In June 2011, the Company filed a countersuit against the complainant for breach of contract, breach of express and implied warranties, negligent and intentional misrepresentation, tortious interference and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. As of September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a liability of approximately $1.6 million, which is included in due to sellers ($1.3 million) and accounts payable and accrued expenses ($0.3 million) in the accompanying balance sheets.
The Company is, from time to time, involved in certain other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. While the outcome of these actions cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not presently expect these other matters to have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
12. Restricted Cash
The Company has a restricted cash account maintained with a bank amounting to $600,000, which secures the worker’s compensation liability.

On November 21, 2011, the Agreement (see Note 5) was amended and restated between TS Staffing Services and the financial institution. Under the amended agreement, the maximum amount of trade receivables that can be purchased by the financial institution amounted to $50 million less any outstanding balance of trade receivables sold by TS Staffing Services’ affiliates. The financial institution’s advance rate remained at 90% and TS Staffing Services is still responsible for paying the financial institution for any accounts receivable which are not paid within 90 days. Interest to be charged is at LIBOR plus 5.3% per annum. The amended agreement expires on August 27, 2013 with an automatic renewal for another 24 months unless either party terminates the amended agreement. In connection with the amended agreement, TS Staffing Services granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets to the financial institution. Further, TS Staffing Services executed a continuing guarantee to the financial institution related to the current and future obligations of CRS and any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through January 27, 2012, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
