These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the transition period ended December 31, 2016 and for the years ended May 31, 2016 and 2015, which are included in the Company’s December 31, 2016 Form 10-KT, as amended, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2017. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 30, 2017.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations for the next 12 months as of the date these financial statements are issued. On September 15, 2017, the Company completed financing of a $40,000 term loan with Jackson Investment Group, LLC, which among other outcomes, significantly alters the Company’s debt service obligations prospectively. The Company believes it can meet its obligations in the next 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued.  

 

Acquisitions

On September 15, 2017, Staffing 360 Georgia, LLC (“Staffing Georgia”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Firstpro Inc. (“FPI”), Firstpro Georgia, LLC (“FPL”), and certain individuals, pursuant to which the FPI and FPL sold substantially all of their assets to Staffing Georgia (“Firstpro Acquisition”). The purchase price in connection with the Staffing Georgia, was $8,000, of which, (a) $4,500 was paid at closing, (b) $825 is payable in quarterly installments of $75 beginning on October 1, 2017, and (c) $2,675 is payable annually in three equal installments beginning on September 15, 2018.

 

On September 15, 2017, the Company and Longbridge Recruitment 360 Limited (“Longbridge”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement (“Share Purchase Agreement”) with the holders of share capital of CBS Butler Holdings Limited (“CBS Butler”) and an agreement (“Option Purchase Agreement”) with the holders of outstanding options of CBS Butler, pursuant to which the holders of the share capital of CBS Butler and holders of outstanding options of CBS Butler sold all of their shares and options of CBS Butler to Longbridge (the “CBS Butler Acquisition”), in exchange for (i) an aggregate cash payment of £13,810, (ii) an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (iii) an earn-out payment of up to £4,214 (the final amount to be calculated and paid pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, payable in December 2018), and (iv) deferred consideration of £150 less the aggregate amount of each CBS Butler Shareholder’s portion of the net asset shortfall amount, if any, as determined pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement and the Option Purchase Agreement.

 

To finance the above transactions, the Company entered into an agreement with Jackson Investment Group, LLC (“Jackson”) on September 15, 2017. The Company, as borrower, and certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, entered into an amended and restated note purchase agreement with Jackson, as lender (the “A&R Note Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Jackson made a senior debt investment of $40,000 in the Company in exchange for a senior secured note in the principal amount of

(UNAUDITED)

 

$40,000 (the “Jackson Note”). The proceeds of the sale of the secured note were used to (i) repay the existing subordinated notes previously issued to Jackson in the aggregate principal amount of $11,165, (ii) to fund the upfront cash portion of the purchase price consideration of the Firstpro Acquisition and the CBS Butler Acquisition, (iii) to repay substantially all other outstanding indebtedness of the Company and (iv) general working capital purposes. The maturity date for the Jackson Note is September 15, 2020.  The Jackson Note will accrue interest at 12% per annum, due quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 in each year, with the first such payment due on January 1, 2018. Interest on any overdue payment of principal or interest due under the Jackson Note will accrue at a rate per annum that is 5% in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable thereunder. The Company may prepay the amounts due on the Jackson Note in whole or in part from time to time, without penalty or premium, subject to the conditions set forth in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement, and such prepayments, depending on the timing of the prepayments, may result in a discount on the principal amount to be prepaid as set forth in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement.

 

The Company paid a closing fee of $1,000 in connection with its entry into the A&R Note Purchase Agreement and agreed to issue 2,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as a closing commitment fee.  These shares are subject to registration rights in favor of Jackson and will be included in a new resale registration statement which must be filed by the Company not later than October 30, 2017.

 

The Jackson Note resulted in the extinguishment of the old notes of $11,165 and recording of the new debt of $40,000 and debt issue costs $3,426. The Company recorded a $2,819 loss upon extinguishment.

 

Change of Year End

 

On February 28, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved the change of the Company’s fiscal year end from May 31 to a 52-53 week year ending on the Saturday closest to the 31st of December. In a 52 week fiscal year, each of the Company’s quarterly periods will comprise 13 weeks. In a 53 week fiscal year, one quarter will consist of 14 weeks. On April 12, 2017, the Company filed a transition report on Form 10-KT, as amended, covering the transition period June 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016. Annual reports on Form 10-K covering 52-53 week years will be filed thereafter. This filing includes comparative unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the period January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017 and January 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016.

 

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period data to the current presentations. In accordance with ASU 2015-03, “Imputation of Interest – Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. These reclassifications had no impact on reported results of operations.

 

The Company has reclassified the Midcap Additional Term Loan from Long-term debt to Other long-term liabilities, as this represents  the long term portion of funds received from the accounts receivable financing facility. These reclassifications had no impact on reported results of operations. The Company paid the Midcap Additional Term Loan in full on September 18, 2017.

Income Taxes

The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate may change from period to period based on recurring and non-recurring factors including the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, state and local income taxes and tax audit settlements. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the period July 2, 2017 to September 30, 2017 and July 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016 was 4% and (37.6)%, respectively. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the period January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017 and January 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016, was 2.3% and 4.3%, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. The amendments in this update modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. An entity no longer will determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The guidance is effective for annual periods fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business”. The amendments in this update is to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Stock Compensation”, regarding the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is to be applied for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires companies to apply the requirements retrospectively, modified retrospectively, or prospectively depending on the amendment(s) applied. The adoption of this standard had no material financial impact.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). This guidance will be effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 including the interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Under the new provisions, all lessees will report a right-of-use asset and a liability for the obligation to make payments for all leases with the exception of those leases with a term of 12 months or less. All other leases will fall into one of two categories: (i) Financing leases, similar to capital leases, which will require the recognition of an asset and liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments and (ii) Operating leases which will require the recognition of an asset and liability measured at the present value of the lease payments. Lessor accounting remains substantially unchanged with the exception that no leases entered into after the effective date will be classified as leveraged leases. For sale leaseback transactions, the sale will only be recognized if the criteria in the new revenue recognition standard are met. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which amends the guidance relating to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for sale debt securities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement–Period Adjustments”. Changes to the accounting for measurement-period adjustments relate to business combinations. Currently, an acquiring entity is required to retrospectively adjust the balance sheet amounts of the acquiree recognized at the acquisition date with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill as a result of changes made to the balance sheet amounts of the acquiree. The measurement period is the period after the acquisition date during which the acquirer may adjust the balance sheet amounts recognized for a business combination (generally up to one year from the date of acquisition). The changes eliminate the requirement to make such retrospective adjustments, and, instead require the acquiring entity to record these adjustments in the reporting period they are determined. The new standard is effective for both public and private companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements of FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance throughout the ASC, resulting in the creation of FASB ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU provides alternative methods of adoption. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Deferral of the Effective Date”. ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Principal versus Agent Considerations” (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) clarifying the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. Specifically, an entity is required to determine whether the nature of a promise is to provide the specified good or service itself (that is, the entity is a principal) or to arrange for the good or service to be provided to the customer by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). The determination influences the timing and amount of revenue recognition. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”, clarifying the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing. The amendments in this ASU clarify the two following aspects (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-10 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-10 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

 

NOTE 3 – LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The Company utilizes the guidance per ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”.  Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during each period. Our Series A preferred stock holders (related parties) receive certain dividends or dividend equivalents that are considered participating securities and our earnings (loss) per share is computed using the two-class method. For the period ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, pursuant to the two-class method, as a result of the net loss, losses were not allocated to the participating securities.

Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common stock shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock share equivalents consist of common shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock, convertible notes and the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified treasury stock method).  Such securities, shown below, presented on a common share equivalent basis and outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016 have been excluded from the per share computations, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

As of October 1, 2016, convertible preferred shares include the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock which contained both a fixed and variable conversion feature that fluctuated with the Company’s stock price. In addition, other restrictions prevented the holders from converting all of the Series D Preferred Stock at the same time. As a result, it was difficult to estimate the exact amount of shares of common stock the Series D Preferred Stock could be converted into at any time. As a result, only the fixed portion of the conversion features were included in the amounts above. In April 2017, the Company redeemed the remaining 62 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and terminated all future conversion rights, for $1,500 in cash and 300,000 shares of common stock.

 

 

NOTE 4 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BASED FINANCING FACILITIES

On September 15, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment with Midcap Financial Trust, pertaining to its accounts receivable based lending facility. The amendment maintains a total facility of $25,000, with an accordion for an additional $25,000, and interest of LIBOR plus 400 basis points with a LIBOR floor of 100 basis points. The amendment also provides for incremental borrowing against the Company’s unbilled receivables up to 85%, with a borrowing cap of $1,300, of such eligible receivables. In conjunction with closing of the Jackson Note, the Midcap Additional Term Loan was repaid in full.

In conjunction with the closing of the Jackson Note, the Company’s accounts receivable based lending facility with Sterling National Bank was closed.

 

CBS Butler

 

CBS Butler has a revolving accounts receivable financing arrangement with HSBC Invoice Finance (UK) Ltd “HSBC”. The facility, whose maximum capacity is £8,500, had an original expiration of January 2011, provides for termination by either party with 90 days notice. Under the arrangement, CBS Butler may sell eligible short-term trade receivables HSBC in exchange for cash and a subordinated interest. Upon sale, the Company receives cash equal to approximately 90% (varies slightly by geographical location of the receivable) of the value of the sold receivables. The Company continues to service the receivables sold in exchange for a fee. At September 30, 2017, the outstanding principal amount of receivables sold under this facility amounted to £5,486, which is carried as a liability on the balance sheet in Accounts receivable financing.

8% Convertible Note (July 8, 2015) and 8% Convertible Note (February 8, 2016)

On January 3, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment agreement pursuant to which, the parties refinanced an aggregate amount of $2,688 of indebtedness and extended all amortization payments for the two 8% convertible notes dated July 8, 2015 and February 8, 2016 (collectively, the “Amendment”) to October 1, 2018, which was approximately 21 months from the date of the refinancing.

The Amendment had a new face value of $3,126, and an 8% interest rate per annum, with no interest payments due until October 1, 2017, payable quarterly thereafter, and an overall term of 21 months with principal due at maturity.

In connection with the refinancing, the Company issued the holder 600,000 shares of common stock, valued at $498. The Amendment resulted in the extinguishment of the old notes of $2,688 and recording of the new debt and debt issue costs. The Company recorded a $870 loss upon extinguishment. On January 26, 2017, the Amendment was paid in full resulting a loss of $498.

Jackson Investment Group Term Loan Note #1

On January 26, 2017, the Company entered into a note and warrant purchase agreement with Jackson for $7,400. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company issued to Jackson 1,650,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase up to 3,150,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $1.35 per share (the “Warrant”). The note accrues interest on the principal amount at a rate of 6% per annum and has a maturity date of July 25, 2018. No interest or principal is payable until maturity. At any time during the term of the note, upon notice to Jackson, the Company may also, at its option, redeem all or some of the then outstanding principal amount of the note by paying to Jackson an amount not less than $100 of the outstanding principal (and in multiples of $100), plus any accrued but unpaid interest and liquidated damages and other amounts due under the note. The note’s principal is not convertible into shares of common stock; however 50% of the accrued interest on the note may be converted into shares of common stock, at the sole election of Jackson at maturity or upon prepayment by the Company, at a conversion price equal to $2.00 per share. On March 14, 2017, the Company and Jackson amended the warrant to include a blocker preventing Jackson from owning more than 19.99% of the Company’s shares outstanding as of January 26, 2017, until such ownership is approved by the shareholders consistent with Nasdaq Rule 5635(b). On June 15, 2017, our stockholders approved the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock under the warrant to Jackson that may result in Jackson owning in excess of 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Earn-out Liabilities and Stock Value Guarantees

 

Pursuant to the acquisition of Control Solutions International, Inc. (“CSI”), the purchase price includes monthly cash payments to the former owners and shareholders of CSI for performance-based compensation equal to 20% of CSI’s consolidated gross profit from the date of closing through the end of the sixteenth quarter following the date of closing not to exceed a total of $2,100. During the period ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, the Company paid $68 and $104, respectively, towards the earn-out liability. This accrual is related to the matter of NewCSI, Inc. vs. Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. below. Under the settlement agreement, the Company will continue to pay earnout through to the end of December 2017.

 

Pursuant to the acquisition of The JM Group, the purchase price includes a cash payment to the shareholders for performance-based compensation of (a) £850 if the gross profit for the 12 month period ending on the anniversary date of the date of completion (the “Anniversary TTM Gross Profit”) is equal to 90% or more of the gross profit for the twelve months ending October 31, 2015 (the “Completion TTM Gross Profit”); or (b) if the Anniversary TTM Gross Profit is less than 90% of the Completion TTM Gross Profit, a sum equal to £850 multiplied by the Anniversary TTM Gross Profit/Completion TTM Gross Profit. The Company recorded the maximum contingent liability amount of £850 ($1,180). At December 31, 2016, the remaining balance was $1,026 and was recorded in other current liabilities. While unpaid, the balance accrued interest at 10.25% per annum. The balance was paid in full in January 2017.

Legal Proceedings 

NewCSI, Inc. vs. Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc.

On May 22, 2014, NewCSI, Inc. (“NewCSI”), the former owners of Control Solutions International, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, against the Company arising from the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 14, 2013 between the Company and NewCSI. NewCSI claims that the Company breached a provision of the Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA § 2.7”) that required the Company to calculate and pay to NewCSI 50% of certain “Deferred Tax Assets” within 90 days after December 31, 2013, subject to certain criteria. The Complaint sought payment of the amount allegedly owed under SPA § 2.7 and acceleration of earn-out payments provided for in the Stock Purchase Agreement of $1,400, less amounts paid to date, and attorneys’ fees. The Company responded denying the material allegations and interposing numerous affirmative defenses. On October 8, 2014, NewCSI filed a Motion of Summary Judgment (the “Motion”). On March 30, 2015, a Magistrate Judge of the District Court issued a Report and Recommendation that the District Court deny the Motion. The Recommendation became a final decision on April 13, 2015.

 

On December 31, 2014, NewCSI filed an amended complaint to which NewCSI added an additional count asserting an “Adjustment Event” had occurred requiring an acceleration of earn-out payments provided for in the CSI Stock Purchase Agreement of $2,100, less amounts paid as of December 31, 2014 totaling $429 (balance of $1,671 at December 31, 2014), should the Company or CSI “be unable, or admit in writing its inability, to pay its debts as they mature.” The Company responded denying the material allegations and interposing numerous affirmative defenses, including that the earn-out liability was fully expensed at the time of the acquisition and fully accrued for on the Company’s balance sheet as part of the purchase accounting at the time of the acquisition. The final pretrial conference in this matter was held April 22, 2015. A jury was selected on May 14, 2015, and the trial was held May 18-20, 2015. On May 20, 2015, the jury rendered a verdict, finding that the Company had not complied with SPA § 2.7 and owed $154, but that NewCSI had not proven that the Company or CSI had become unable to pay debts as they came due. The Court had held that it was not a question for the jury to decide if damages for breach of SPA § 2.7 should include accelerated earn-out payments.

 

On June 3, 2015, NewCSI filed a Motion for Entry of Judgment as Matter of Law seeking entry of a judgment in the amount of $154, plus accelerated earn-out payments in the amount of $1,152, plus statutory interest. NewCSI did not challenge the jury verdict on the ability to pay issue. Also on June 3, 2015, the Company filed a Motion for Entry of Judgment as a Matter of Law seeking entry of judgment against NewCSI on the jury’s finding that the Company had not complied with SPA § 2.7, or, in the alternative, for a reduction of damages to $154 and to hold that NewCSI may not be awarded accelerated earn-out payments as that would result in an illegal penalty.

 

On October 21, 2015, judgment was entered in this action in favor of NewCSI and against the Company in the amount of $1,307, plus pre-judgment interest, post-judgment interest, and costs. On January 26, 2016, the District Court set the bond in respect of the NewCSI litigation at $1,384. The Company has filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (“Appellate Court”) seeking reversal of the judgment and posted a supersedeas bond to stay the execution of the judgment pending appeal. On April 18, 2016, the Court granted the NewCSI shareholders’ request for payment of attorneys’ fees, but reserved judgment on the amount of fees to award pending the outcome of the Company’s appeal. As of January 2016, the NewCSI shareholders have claimed they have incurred $552 in attorney’s fees, which could increase during the pendency of the appeal. On November 3, 2016, oral arguments for the appeal were heard and on July 26, 2017, the Appellate Court affirmed the trial Court’s decision. On August 29, 2017 the surety company released the supersedeas bond to the New CSI shareholders’ counsel, which was amount was approximately $5 less than the judgment amount with accumulated interest. Payment of this remaining balance has been made subsequent to period end. The amount of the legal fee award remains open for determination.

 

Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. v. Former Officers of Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc.

On November 13, 2015, in a separate proceeding, Staffing 360 initiated an arbitration before JAMS entitled Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. v. Former Officers of Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc., against three officers of Staffing 360, each a former Staffing 360 officer and employee.  In its demand for arbitration and statement of claim, Staffing 360 alleged that these individuals breached their employment agreements with Staffing 360 and the fiduciary duties each owed to the Company.  The three respondents responded with a counterclaim alleging wrongful termination and have moved to dismiss the arbitration, as well as moved for severance in relation to the remainder of their contracts. On July 20, 2016, the arbitrator decided in favor of both of the respondents’ motions.  Further on September 21, 2016 the arbitrator rendered the final award, which was set at $1,433. The former officers brought an action in US District Court in New York City under the caption Dealy et al., v. Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc., requesting that the Court convert this arbitration award into a judgment. On July 11, 2017, the Court entered an order confirming the arbitrator’s award and granting judgement against the Company. In August 2017, the Company paid $1,582 in full satisfaction of this matter.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including, but not limited to, statements about our plans, strategies, adequacy of resources and future financial results (such as revenue, gross profit, operating profit, cash flow), are forward-looking statements. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “can,” “could,” “should,” “intends,” “project,” “predict,” “plans,” “estimates,” “goal,” “target,” “possible,” “potential,” “would,” “seek,” and similar references to future periods. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Because these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: negative outcome of pending and future claims and litigation; our ability to access the capital markets by pursuing additional debt and equity financing to fund our business plan and expenses on terms acceptable to us or at all; and our ability to comply with our contractual covenants, including in respect of our debt; potential cost overruns and possible rejection of our business model and/or sales methods; weakness in general economic conditions and levels of capital spending by customers in the industries we serve; weakness or volatility in the financial and capital markets, which may result in the postponement or cancellation of our customers' capital projects or the inability of our customers to pay our fees; delays or reductions in U.S. government spending; credit risks associated with our customers; competitive market pressures; the availability and cost of qualified labor; our level of success in attracting, training and retaining qualified management personnel and other staff employees; changes in tax laws and other government regulations, including the impact of health care reform laws and regulations; the possibility of incurring liability for our business activities, including, but not limited to, the activities of our temporary employees; our performance on customer contracts; and government policies, legislation or judicial decisions adverse to our businesses. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. We recommend readers to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), particularly our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Overview

As a rapidly growing public company in the international staffing sector, our high-growth business model is based on finding and acquiring suitable, mature, profitable, operating, U.S. and U.K. based staffing companies. Our targeted consolidation model is focused specifically on the accounting and finance, information technology (“IT”), engineering, administration (the “Professional Sector”) and light industrial (the “Light Industrial Sector”) disciplines.

Business Model, Operating History and Acquisitions

Our business plan is to expand and grow through acquisition, which may require additional financing, while continuing to supplement this with organic growth. The Company generated revenue of $109.4 million, $165.6 million, $128.8 million and $41.2 million for the transition period ended December 31, 2016 (“Transition Period”) and fiscal years ended May 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This growth has been achieved primarily through acquisitions, while operations continued to grow organically 11.1% during the Transition Period and, on average, grew 8.8% between the fiscal years ended May 31, 2014 and 2016. Through September 30, 2017, revenue has declined 1.7% as compared to the year to date ended October 1, 2016.

As part of our consolidation model, we pursue staffing companies supporting primarily the Professional and Light Industrial Sectors. Our typical acquisition model is based on paying consideration in the form of cash, stock, earn-outs and/or promissory notes. In furthering our business model, the Company is regularly in discussions and negotiations with various suitable, mature acquisition targets.

On September 15, 2017, Staffing 360 Georgia, LLC (“Staffing Georgia”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Firstpro Inc. (“FPI”), Firstpro Georgia, LLC (“FPL”), and certain individuals, pursuant to which the FPI and FPL sold substantially all of their assets to Staffing Georgia (“Firstpro Acquisition”). The purchase price in connection with the Staffing Georgia, was $8,000, of which, (a) $4,500 was paid at closing, (b) $825 is payable in quarterly installments of $75 beginning on October 1, 2017, and (c) $2,675 is payable annually in three equal installments beginning on September 15, 2018.

(All amounts in thousands, except share, par values and stated values)

 

On September 15, 2017, the Company and Longbridge Recruitment 360 Limited (“Longbridge”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement (“Share Purchase Agreement”) with the holders of share capital of CBS Butler Holdings Limited (“CBS Butler”) and an agreement (“Option Purchase Agreement”) with the holders of outstanding options of CBS Butler, pursuant to which the holders of the share capital of CBS Butler and holders of outstanding options of CBS Butler sold all of their shares and options of CBS Butler to Longbridge (the “CBS Butler Acquisition”), in exchange for (i) an aggregate cash payment of £13,810, (ii) an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (iii) an earn-out payment of up to £4,214 (the final amount to be calculated and paid pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, payable in December 2018), and (iv) deferred consideration of £150 less the aggregate amount of each CBS Butler Shareholder’s portion of the net asset shortfall amount, if any, as determined pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement and the Option Purchase Agreement.

 

To finance the above transactions, the Company entered into an agreement with Jackson Investment Group, LLC (“Jackson”) on September 15, 2017. The Company, as borrower, and certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, entered into an amended and restated note purchase agreement with Jackson, as lender (the “A&R Note Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Jackson made a senior debt investment of $40,000 in the Company in exchange for a senior secured note in the principal amount of $40,000 (the “Jackson Note”). The proceeds of the sale of the secured note were used to (i) repay the existing subordinated notes previously issued to Jackson in the aggregate principal amount of $11,165, (ii) to fund the upfront cash portion of the purchase price consideration of the Firstpro Acquisition and the CBS Butler Acquisition, (iii) to repay almost all other outstanding indebtedness of the Company and (iv) general working capital purposes. The maturity date of the Jackson Note is September 15, 2020.  The Jackson Note will accrue interest at 12% per annum, due quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 in each year, with the first such payment due on January 1, 2018. Interest on any overdue payment of principal or interest due under the Jackson Note will accrue at a rate per annum that is 5% in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable thereunder. The Company may prepay the amounts due on the Jackson Note in whole or in part from time to time, without penalty or premium, subject to the conditions set forth in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement, and such prepayments, depending on the timing of the prepayments, may result in a discount on the principal amount to be prepaid as set forth in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement.  

 

The Company paid a closing fee of $1,000 in connection with its entry into the A&R Note Purchase Agreement and agreed to issue 2,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as a closing commitment fee.  These shares are subject to registration rights in favor of Jackson and will be included in a new resale registration statement.

The Jackson Note resulted in the extinguishment of the old notes of $11,165 and recording of the new debt of $40,000 and debt issue costs of $3,426. The Company recorded a $2,819 loss upon extinguishment.

Revenue

For the period July 2, 2017 to September 30, 2017, revenue grew 9.6% to $50,345 as compared to $45,950 for the period July 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016. Of that growth, $6,768 came from the acquisitions completed during the quarter, partially offset by an organic decline of $2,379 primarily from exiting lower margin revenue. Foreign currency translation impact was not material.

Direct cost of revenue

Direct cost of services includes the variable cost of labor and various non-variable costs (e.g., workman’s compensation insurance) relating to employees (temporary and permanent) as well as sub-contractors and consultants. For the period July 2, 2017 to September 30, 2017 and the period July 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016, direct cost of revenue was $40,768 and $37,545, respectively, or an increase of 8.6%, compared to an increase in revenue of 9.6%, and is further discussed in the gross profit and gross margin comments below.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit for the period July 2, 2017 to September 30, 2017 and the period July 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016 was $9,577 and $8,405, respectively, representing gross margin of 19.0% and 18.3% for each period, respectively. The increase in margin is primarily attributable to stronger margins in the Light Industrial segment, higher margin revenue from the businesses acquired during the quarter, as well as lower workmans’ compensation insurance.

Operating expenses

For the period July 2, 2017 to September 30, 2017, operating expenses amounted to $9,930 as compared to $8,522 for the period July 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016, an increase of 16.5%.  As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses increased from 18.5% of revenue to 19.7% of revenue, mainly due to the inclusion of the two acquired businesses for a portion of the quarter, transaction-related costs of completing the acquisitions and an increase in non-cash compensation expense.

Other Expenses

For the periods July 2, 2017 to September 30, 2017 and July 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016, Other Expenses primarily includes interest and financing expense of $4,793 (of which $2,819 relates to a Loss on extinguishment of debt and $588 for write off of deferred financing fees, both relating to the re-financing and retirement of notes) and $1,199, respectively.

Revenue

For the period January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017, revenue fell 1.7% to $133,174 as compared to $135,423 for the period January 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016. Of that decline, 1.3% ($1,825) was from foreign currency translation, organic decline of $7,190, partially offset by $6,768 of revenue from the acquisitions completed during the quarter.  The organic decline was largely due to the exiting of lower margin revenue and a few weather-related work stoppage days in the fiscal first quarter.

Direct cost of revenue

Direct cost of services includes the variable cost of labor and various non-variable costs (e.g., workmans’ compensation insurance) relating to employees (temporary and permanent) as well as sub-contractors and consultants. For the period January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017 and the period January 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016, direct cost of revenue was $108,347 and $111,802,

respectively, or a decline of 3.1%, compared to a decline in revenue of 1.7%, and is further discussed in the gross profit and gross margin comments below.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit for the period January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017 and the period January 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016 was $24,827 and $23,621, respectively, representing gross margin of 18.6% and 17.4% for each period, respectively. The increase in margin is primarily attributable to stronger margins in the Light Industrial segment, higher margin revenue from the businesses acquired during the quarter, as well as lower workmans’ compensation insurance and payroll costs.

Operating expenses

For the period January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017, operating expenses amounted to $25,415 as compared to $26,161 for the period January 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016, a decrease of 2.9%.  As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses declined from 19.3% of revenue to 19.1% of revenue.  The dollar increase is attributable to the inclusion of the two acquired businesses for a portion of the period, transaction-related costs of completing the acquisitions, an increase in non-cash compensation, partially offset by lower compensation expenses on lower revenue and lower professional fees.

Other Expenses

For the periods January 1, 2017 to July 2, 2017 and January 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016, Other Expenses primarily includes interest and financing expense of $8,522 (of which $4,187 relates to a Loss on extinguishment of debt and $588 for write off of deferred financing fees, both relating to the re-financing and retirement of notes) and $3,867, respectively.  Other Income of $(485) in the period January 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016 primarily related to a gain on the conversion of warrants.  

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we also use non-GAAP financial measures and Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) in addition to our GAAP results. We believe non-GAAP financial measures and KPIs may provide useful information for evaluating our cash operating performance, ability to service debt, compliance with debt covenants and measurement against competitors. This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.

We present the following non-GAAP financial measure and KPIs in this report:

Revenue and Gross Profit by Sector We use this KPI to measure the Company’s mix of Revenue and respective profitability between its two main lines of business due to their differing margins. For clarity, these lines of business are not the Company’s operating segments, as this information is not currently regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to allocate capital and resources.

For the period July 2, 2017 to September 30, 2017 as compared to the period July 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016:

While growth in the Light Industrial Sector continued, the decrease in Light Industrial revenue as a percentage of total revenue from 55% for the period July 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016 to 51% for the period July 2, 2017 to September 30, 2017, was attributable to growth in the Professional segment, which was driven by the revenue from the acquisitions completed during the quarter.  Professional revenue as a percentage of total revenue increased from 45% for the period July 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016 to 49% for the period July 2, 2017 to September 30, 2017.  

Gross margin for the Light Industrial segment increased from 15.2% for the period July 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016 to 16.8% for the period July 2, 2017 to September 30, 2017.  The increase was attributable to changes in client mix and pricing, as well as savings on workmans’ compensation insurance costs.

Gross margin for the Professional segment decreased from 22.0% in the period July 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016 to 21.4% for the period July 2, 2017 to September 30, 2017.  The increase was primarily attributable to a higher mix of revenue at lower margins, including the two newly acquired businesses.

For the period January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017 as compared to the period January 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016:

The increase in Light Industrial revenue as a percentage of total revenue from 52% for the period January 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016 to 54% for the period January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to growth in that segment (up 1.8%) compared to Total Service Revenue (down 1.7%).  Professional revenue as a percentage of total revenue declined from 48% for the period January 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016 to 46% for the period January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017, as a percentage of total revenue.  Of the decline in this segment, $1,825 was currency related, with the remaining $1,742 resulting from the decline in some business units as discussed above, partially offset by revenue from the two newly acquired businesses.

Gross margin for the Light Industrial segment increased from 14.7% for the period January 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016 to 16.3% for the period January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017.  The increase was attributable to changes in client mix and pricing, as well as lower workmans’ compensation insurance and payroll costs.

Gross margin for the Professional segment increased from 20.4% in the period January 3, 2016 to October 1, 2016 to 21.3% for the period January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017.  The increase was primarily attributable to mix of revenue to higher margin business. Higher margin revenue from the acquisitions did not have a material impact.

Operating Cash Flow Including Proceeds from Accounts Receivable Financing calculated as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities plus net proceeds from accounts receivable financing.  Because much of the Company’s temporary payroll expense is paid weekly and in advance of clients remitting payment for invoices, operating cash flow is often weaker in staffing companies where revenue and accounts receivable are growing.  Accounts receivable financing is essentially an advance on client remittances and is primarily used to fund temporary payroll.  As such, we believe this measure is helpful to investors as an indicator of the Company’s underlying operating cash flow.

During the period January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017, the Company used approximately $3,500 of the proceeds from Jackson Investment to pay accounts payable and accrued expenses. In addition, cash provided by operating activities includes the cash paid of $1,582 to settle the Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. v. Former Officers of Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. arbitration.

The Leverage Ratio and Operating Cash Flow Including Proceeds from Accounts Receivable Financing should be considered together with the information in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section, immediately below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Historically, we have funded our operations through term loans, promissory notes, bonds, convertible notes, private placement offerings and sales of equity.

Our primary uses of cash have been for professional fees related to our operations and financial reporting requirements and for the payment of compensation, benefits and consulting fees. The following trends may occur as the Company continues to execute on its strategy:

 

An increase in working capital requirements to finance organic growth,

 

Addition of administrative and sales personnel as the business grows,

 

Increases in advertising, public relations and sales promotions for existing and new brands as we expand within existing markets or enter new markets,

 

A continuation of the costs associated with being a public company, and

 

Capital expenditures to add technologies.

Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by the significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations could significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and increase the use of resources.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $6,490, an accumulated deficit of $57,351, for the period January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017, a net loss of $9,354, and, as of the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, the Company has approximately $1,778 associated with debt and other amortizing obligations, due in the next 12 months.

The amounts due discussed above, are a subset of the Company’s total gross debt obligations as of September 30, 2017 of $40,377, as compared with $9,010 as of the Company’s most recent period ended December 31, 2016. Those balances are comprised of various instruments that can be summarized as follows:

In January 2017, the Company entered into an amendment agreement in which, the parties refinanced an aggregate amount of $2,708 million of convertible notes and extended all amortization payments (collectively “the Amendment”) to October 1, 2018. The new gross balance of the remaining note was $3,126.  The Amendment had an 8% interest rate, with no interest payments due until October 1, 2017, payable quarterly thereafter, and an overall term of 21 months with principal due at maturity. The Amendment was convertible into shares of common stock at a price of $3.00 per share at holder’s election, and the holder has agreed to eliminate the 20% pre-payment penalty for an early redemption.  In connection with the refinancing, the Company issued the holder 600,000 shares of common stock. Later in January 2017, the amended note was paid in full.

In addition, in January 2017, the Company closed a financing with Jackson in the amount of $7,400 million. The financing is a term loan, maturing in July 2018 and carries interest at 6%. No interest or principal is due until maturity. In connection with the transaction, Jackson received 1,650,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase up to 3,150,000 shares of common stock (the “Warrant”), exercisable for five years, with an initial cash exercise price of $1.35. At Jackson’s election, 50% of accrued interest paid or payable on the note may be converted into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.00.

In connection with the Jackson financing, in addition to paying $3,126 to satisfy the Company’s obligation under the note issued in connection with the Amendment, the Company satisfied in full the earn-out liability associated with the Company’s acquisition of The JM Group of $1,026 and related interest, as well as approximately, $562 of debt obligations that were due in January 2017.

In April 2017, the Company amended the note and warrant purchase agreement with Jackson and entered into a second subordinated secured note with Jackson for $1,650. Under the terms of this amended agreement, the Company issued to Jackson 296,984 shares of common stock, with an additional 370,921 shares of common stock to be issued upon shareholder approval of the issuance of shares to Jackson in excess of the 19.99% limit. Also on April 5, 2017, the Company amended the Warrant to allow Jackson to purchase up to an additional 825,463 shares of common stock, modified the initial exercise price of the Warrant to $1.00 per share and modified the conversion price of accrued interest on note issued to Jackson in January 2017 to $1.50. The Warrant was also amended to increase the amount of common stock issuable to Jackson pursuant to the anti-dilution clause contained therein. The second note accrues interest on the principal amount at a rate of 6% per annum and has a maturity date of June 8, 2019; however, in the event the Company satisfies all of its outstanding obligations with Midcap Financial Trust, the maturity date will be adjusted to July 25, 2018. No interest or principal is payable until maturity. At any time during the term of the second note, upon notice to Jackson, the Company may also, at its option, redeem all or some of the then outstanding principal amount of the second note by paying to Jackson an amount not less than $100 of the outstanding principal (and in multiples of $100), plus any accrued but unpaid interest and liquidated damages and other amounts due under the note. The second note’s principal is not convertible into shares of common stock; however, 50% of the accrued interest on the second note may be converted into shares of common stock, at the sole election of Jackson at maturity or in the event of a prepayment by the Company, at a conversion price equal to $1.50 per share. The proceeds of this transaction were used to redeem the remaining shares and conversion rights of the Series D Preferred Stock.

In August 2017, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with Jackson for $1,600, with a term of 60 days at interest of 10% per annum and in return for 160,000 shares of common stock. The proceeds of the note were used to fund the satisfaction of a judgment entered in the matter of Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. v. Former Officers of Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc.

On September 1, 2017, the Company into a promissory note with Jackson for $515, with a term of 31 days at interest of 12% per annum. The proceeds of the note were used to fund other debt obligations.

 

On September 15, 2017, the Company entered into the Jackson Note. The proceeds of the sale of the secured note were used to (i) repay the existing subordinated notes previously issued to Jackson in the aggregate principal amount of $11,165, (ii) to fund a portion of the upfront cash portion of purchase price consideration of the Firstpro Acquisition and the CBS Butler Acquisition, (iii) repay substantially all other outstanding indebtedness of the Company and (iv) for general working capital purposes. The maturity date for the Jackson Note is September 15, 2020.  The Jackson Note will accrue interest at 12% per annum, due quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 in each year, with the first such payment due on January 1, 2018. Interest on any overdue payment of principal or interest due under the Jackson Note will accrue at a rate per annum that is 5% in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable thereunder.

 

The Company paid a closing fee of $1,000 in connection with its entry into the A&R Note Purchase Agreement and agreed to issue 2,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as a closing commitment fee.  These shares are subject to registration rights in favor of Jackson and will be included in a new resale registration statement which must be filed by the Company not later than October 30, 2017. The Jackson Note resulted in the extinguishment of the old notes of $11,165 and recording of the new debt of $40,000 and debt issue costs $3,426. The Company recorded a $2,819 loss upon extinguishment.

Management believes the Company is a going concern meaning it will meet its obligations for the next 12 months as of the date these financial statements are issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements  

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. The amendments in this update modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. An entity no longer will determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The guidance is effective for annual periods fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business”. The amendments in this update is to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Stock Compensation”, regarding the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is to be applied for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires companies to apply the requirements retrospectively, modified retrospectively, or prospectively depending on the amendment(s) applied. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. The adoption of this standard had no material financial impact.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). This guidance will be effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 including the interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Under the new provisions, all lessees will report a right-of-use asset and a liability for the obligation to make payments for all leases with the exception of those leases with a term of 12 months or less. All other leases will fall into one of two categories: (i) Financing leases, similar to capital leases, which will require the recognition of an asset and liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments and (ii) Operating leases which will require the recognition of an asset and liability measured at the present value of the lease payments. Lessor accounting remains substantially unchanged with the exception that no leases entered into after the effective date will be classified as leveraged leases. For sale leaseback transactions, the sale will only be recognized if the criteria in the new revenue recognition standard are met. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which amends the guidance relating to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for sale debt securities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(All amounts in thousands, except share, par values and stated values)

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement–Period Adjustments”. Changes to the accounting for measurement-period adjustments relate to business combinations. Currently, an acquiring entity is required to retrospectively adjust the balance sheet amounts of the acquiree recognized at the acquisition date with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill as a result of changes made to the balance sheet amounts of the acquiree. The measurement period is the period after the acquisition date during which the acquirer may adjust the balance sheet amounts recognized for a business combination (generally up to one year from the date of acquisition). The changes eliminate the requirement to make such retrospective adjustments, and, instead require the acquiring entity to record these adjustments in the reporting period they are determined. The new standard is effective for both public and private companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements of FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance throughout the ASC, resulting in the creation of FASB ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU provides alternative methods of adoption. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Deferral of the Effective Date”. ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Principal versus Agent Considerations” (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) clarifying the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. Specifically, an entity is required to determine whether the nature of a promise is to provide the specified good or service itself (that is, the entity is a principal) or to arrange for the good or service to be provided to the customer by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). The determination influences the timing and amount of revenue recognition. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”, clarifying the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing. The amendments in this ASU clarify the two following aspects (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-10 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-10 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” and “internal control over financial reporting” as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report (“Evaluation Date”), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively.

Management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition as of the Evaluation Date, and results of its operations and cash flows for the Evaluation Date, in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that

 

a)

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

b)

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

c)

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Based on our evaluation under the framework described above, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective in accordance with Item 308(a)(3) of Regulation S-K.

Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm

This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period ended September 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material developments to alter the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-KT for the transition period ended December 31, 2016, except as set forth below:-

 

The Jackson Note is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and the terms of the Jackson Note may restrict the Company’s current and future operations. Additionally, Jackson may be able to exert significant influence over us as our senior secured and the beneficial owner of in excess of 39.4% of our outstanding shares of common stock

The Jackson Note contains a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term best interests. The Jackson Note includes covenants limiting or restricting, among other things, our ability to:

 

incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;

 

pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase shares of the Company’s capital stock or redeem or repurchase any of the Company’s subordinated debt;

 

make certain investments;  

 

sell assets;  

 

enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from our restricted subsidiaries to the Company;  

 

incur or allow the existence of liens;

 

consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;  

 

engage in transactions with affiliates.  

In addition, the Jackson Note contains financial covenants including, among other things, a fixed charge coverage ratio, minimum liquidity requirements and total leverage ratio.  A breach of any of these financial covenants could result in a default under the Jackson Note. If any such default occurs, Jackson may elect to declare all outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest and other amounts payable thereunder, to be immediately due and payable.  In addition, following an event of default under the Jackson Note, Jackson will have the right to proceed against the collateral granted to it to secure the debt, which includes our available cash. If the debt under the Jackson Note was to be accelerated, we cannot assure you that our assets would be sufficient to repay in full our debt.

In addition to being our senior secured lender, the Jackson beneficially owns in excess of 39.4% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Accordingly, Jackson may be able to exert significant influence over the Company.  

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During the period January 1, 2017 through September 30, 2017, we issued 7,500 shares of common stock, with an aggregate value of $6, to Wayne Miiller PLLC in return for advisory services provided to our board of directors, and 15,000 shares of common stock with an aggregate value of at $14, to Greenridge Global for investor relations advisory services.  The shares were issued in reliance upon an exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
