Interim financial information The financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in management's opinion, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of results for such interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules or regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 1996. Operating results for the three month period ended March 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended December 28, 1997. Management estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue recognition Revenue for the placement of personnel on a permanent basis is recognized on the date the employer and individual mutually agree to an offer and acceptance of employment. If the individual fails to continue employment for a period of time as specified in the placement agreement, generally a thirty- to ninety-day period, the Company is not entitled to collect the placement fee. Revenue from permanent placements is shown on the Statement of Revenues and Expenses net of amounts written off for adjustments due to placed candidates not remaining in employment for the Company's guarantee period. Revenue derived from flexible staffing is recognized as services are performed by the Company's employees. Revenue from flexible staffing on the Statement of Revenues and Expenses represents gross billings less amounts written off. The Company maintains an allowance for potential fee adjustments and uncollectible accounts. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks and overnight investments. Overnight investments in Eurodollars were $8,300 and $4,500 at March 30, 1997 and December 29, 1996, respectively. Treasury stock Treasury shares acquired are held for future reissuance. Treasury shares are recorded at cost of acquisition. Reissued shares are relieved using the average cost method. 5 7 Property and equipment Furniture and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives, ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. Self-insurance The Company offers an employee benefit program for which it is self-insured for a portion of the cost. The Company is liable for claims up to $100 per employee and aggregate claims up to a defined yearly payment limit. All full-time employees and salaried consultants are eligible to participate in the program. Self-insurance costs are accrued using actuarial estimates to approximate the liability for reported claims and claims incurred but not reported. Fair value of financial instruments Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires the disclosure, to the extent practicable, of the fair value of financial instruments which are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, primarily cash, investments, and short-term trade receivables and payables, approximate fair value. Income taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the principles of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability approach to the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of other assets and liabilities. Foreign currency translation Foreign currency translation adjustments arise primarily from activities of the Company's Canadian operations. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates during the period, while assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using current rates. Resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in stockholders' equity. Earnings per share Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options. NOTE 2 --- EQUITY The Company issued 15,000 options on January 2, 1997. These options were issued at an exercise price of $17.50, the closing market value on the date of issuance. These options vest over four years: 1/3 on January 3, 1999, 1/3 on January 3, 2000, and 1/3 on January 3, 2001. No compensation expense was recorded in connection with the issuance of these options. NOTE 3 --- NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD In February 1997, SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" was issued effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 128 establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. If the Company had computed earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share for the three month periods ended March 30, 1997 and March 31, 1996, would have been $0.20 and $0.11, respectively. 6 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Form 10-Q includes certain "forward looking" statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which reflect the Company's current expectations regarding the future results of operations, performance and achievements. Source Services Corporation has tried, wherever possible, to identify these "forward looking" statements by using words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and similar expressions. These statements reflect the Company's current beliefs and are based on information currently available to it. Accordingly, these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by these statements. These risks and uncertainties include the following: economic activity in the United States and in the regions of the country in which the Company operates; the Company's ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the Company's ability to maintain and protect its information processing systems and proprietary technology; the achievement and management of growth by the Company through internal expansion in current markets; the retention of key management personnel and qualified sales associates; exposure to employment liability risk; competition in the Company's current and potential target markets; and changes in legislative or regulatory requirements. Readers are encouraged to review the Risk Factors Section of the Company's Form S-1 dated July 29, 1996 for a more complete description of these factors. The Company is not obligated to update or revise these "forward looking" statements to reflect new events or circumstances. The following discussion should be read in connection with the Company's Financial Statements and the related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this document. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three-Month Period Ended March 30, 1997, compared to the Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 1996 Net Service Revenue. Net service revenue for the three month period ended March 30, 1997 increased 60.1% to $65.4 million, from $40.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1996. The growth in net service revenue was primarily attributable to the Company's continued focus on expanding its flexible staffing service offerings in existing markets. Net service revenues from flexible staffing services grew 67.8% to $43.4 million for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from $25.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The growth in flexible staffing net service revenue is primarily due to an increase in the hours billed from adding additional markets and growth in existing markets and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the average billing rates. Permanent placement net service revenue increased 46.9% to $22.0 million for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from $15.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The growth in permanent placement net service revenue is primarily the result of an increase in the number of permanent placements and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the average placement fees. Gross profit. Gross profit increased 52.3% to $34.0 million for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from $22.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Gross profit as a percentage of net service revenues decreased slightly to 51.9% for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from 54.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The decrease was primarily a result of a continued change in the mix of the Company's net service revenue toward flexible staffing. Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased 47.8% to $30.8 million for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase was primarily a result of hiring additional operations employees, increased expenses associated with the expansion of the Company's business, and upgrades in the Company's management information system. As a percentage of net service revenue, operating expenses decreased to 47.1% for the three months ended March 30, 1997, as compared to 51.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1996. 7 9 Operating Income. Operating income increased 116.6% to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase is primarily a result of the factors described above. Other (income) expense. Other (income) expense was $0.2 of income for the three months ended March 30, 1997, compared to $0.2 of expense for the three months ended March 30, 1996. Income Taxes. The effective tax rate was 44.6% and 37.3% for the three months ended March 30, 1997 and March 31, 1996, respectively. Net Income. Net income increased to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 30, 1997, from $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as a result of the factors described above. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of March 30, 1997, the Company's sources of liquidity included approximately $43.1 million in net working capital. In addition, as of March 30, 1997, $10.0 million was available for borrowing under the Company's line of credit. During the first three months of 1997, cash flow provided by operations was approximately $0.5 million, resulting primarily from an increase in accounts receivable, an increase in income taxes payable and accounts payable and accrued expenses. During the first three months of 1997, cash flow used by investing activities was approximately $1.2 million, resulting primarily from expenditures for computer equipment and office furniture and fixtures.
