COMFORCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. GENERAL

 

COMFORCE Corporation (“COMFORCE” or the “Company”) is a provider of specialty staffing, consulting and outsourcing services primarily to Fortune 1000 companies and other large employers for their healthcare support, technical and engineering, information technology, telecommunications and other staffing services. The Company’s outsourced enterprise staffing management services enable its customers to consolidate, automate and manage staffing, compliance and oversight processes for their contingent workforce, including independent contractors, temporary workers, consultants, freelancers and, in some cases, returning retirees. The Company also offers services for the selection, procurement, management and tracking of the contingent workforce.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of COMFORCE and its subsidiaries, including COMFORCE Operating, Inc. (“COI”) (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Although management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2004. The results for the three month period ended March 27, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.

 

2. 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the significant estimates involved are the collectibility of receivables, the fair value of goodwill, the recoverability of long-lived assets and deferred tax assets, accrued workers compensation liabilities and the assessment of litigation and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

3. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

 

The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for stock options; accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in the statements of operations for any options granted to employees, officers or directors since the exercise price of options was equal to or greater than the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Had compensation cost been determined based upon the fair value of the stock options at grant date, consistent with the method in Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), the Company’s net (loss) income and net (loss) income per share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands):

PNC Credit Facility: In June 2003, COMFORCE, COI and various of their operating subsidiaries, as co-borrowers and guarantors, entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “PNC Credit Facility”) with PNC Bank, National Association, as a lender and administrative agent (“PNC”) and other financial institutions participating as lenders to provide for a revolving credit facility with available borrowings based, generally, on 85.0% of the Company’s accounts receivable aged 90 days or less, subject to specified limitations and exceptions and limited to $85.0 million, which was increased from $75.0 million in February 2005. At March 27, 2005, the Company had remaining availability, as defined in the agreement, of $22.6 million under the PNC Credit Facility.

 

Borrowings under the PNC Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a per annum rate equal to (1) the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the base commercial lending rate of PNC as announced from time to time, or (2) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.5% if the Company’s fixed charges coverage ratio is greater than 1.30:1 to 3.0% if this ratio is 1.05:1 (with the margin having been 2.75% on borrowings from inception of the facility through March 27, 2005). The agreement provides for a commitment fee of 0.375% of the unused portion. The obligations under the PNC Credit Facility are collateralized by a pledge of the capital stock of certain key operating subsidiaries of the Company and by security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company. The agreements evidencing the PNC Credit Facility contain various financial and other covenants and conditions, including, but not limited to, a prohibition on paying cash dividends and limitations on

engaging in affiliate transactions, making acquisitions and incurring additional indebtedness. The maturity date of the PNC Credit Facility is June 24, 2007. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the PNC Credit Facility at March 27, 2005.

 

Effective September 29, 2004 the PNC Credit Facility was amended to increase the Company’s flexibility to draw funds under the PNC Credit Facility to repurchase its 12% Senior Notes due December 1, 2007 (the “Senior Notes”). As amended, the Company is permitted to repurchase or prepay Senior Notes so long as the remaining availability under the PNC Credit Facility, as defined in the agreement, is at least $7.5 million for the specified measurement period. In addition, the annual $15.0 million limit on repurchases of Senior Notes was modified to permit the carryover from any prior calendar year of any unused portion of this amount, so long as the other criteria for borrowing are then satisfied.

 

As of March 27, 2005, the Company had outstanding $5.1 million of standby letters of credit.

 

Senior Notes: The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains a number of significant restrictions and covenants that require the Company to ensure among other things that:

 

    the Company does not grant a security interest in its assets or incur indebtedness, except indebtedness incurred in accordance with the indenture, which permits indebtedness subordinated to and due later than the Senior Notes and that meets other conditions in the indenture, indebtedness on a parity with the Senior Notes meeting specified conditions in the indenture, renewals or replacements of any bank credit facility, capital lease obligations, securitization transactions, indebtedness within specified dollar limitations and other exceptions;

 

    the Company does not sell or dispose of its assets except in accordance with the covenants and conditions in the indenture, or issue shares of its capital stock except in accordance with the covenants and conditions in the indenture;

 

    the net proceeds from any permitted sale of the Company’s capital stock or its assets are applied to repay any bank credit facility, or, if not required by the lender or such net proceeds are not reinvested in other assets, to redeem Senior Notes or applied for other specified proper purposes;

 

    the Company does not enter into transactions with affiliates other than in accordance with the indenture; and

 

    the Company does not invest in other businesses or engage in other business activities unless permitted under the indenture.

 

In February and March 2004, the Company repurchased an aggregate of $13.5 million principal amount of its Senior Notes for $11.3 million in transactions with unrelated parties. As a result of these repurchases, the Company recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2004, including a reduction of $219,000 of deferred financing costs.

 

In April 2005, the Company repurchased an aggregate of $6.0 million principal amount of its Senior Notes for $6.1 million, utilizing available funds under the PNC Credit Facility. The Senior Notes were purchased from unrelated parties. As a result of these repurchases, the Company will recognize in the second quarter of 2005 a loss on debt extinguishment of $172,000, including a reduction of $67,000 of deferred financing costs.

 

Convertible Note: The Company’s 8.0% Subordinated Convertible Note due December 2, 2009 (the “Convertible Note”) is convertible into common stock at $1.70 per share.

 

On December 8, 2004, the Company issued 6,737 shares of its Series 2004A Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for $6,726,385 of its Convertible Note, plus accrued interest of $10,463, in a transaction with the Fanning Partnership. This exchange eliminated $6.7 million of long-term debt while maintaining, under the terms of

the 2004A Series Preferred Stock, the same common stock conversion rights as existed for the Convertible Note. As part of the transaction, the Convertible Note was restated at the principal amount of $1,299,402, and the terms were modified to permit the Company to pay interest in cash or kind, at its election, for the balance of the term of the Convertible Note. Under the terms of the Convertible Note prior to this amendment, interest was to be payable only in cash beginning with the interest payment due on June 1, 2005. The debt service costs associated with the Convertible Notes were satisfied through issuance of new Convertible Notes through December 1, 2004. During 2004, $605,000 of the Convertible Notes were issued at a conversion rate of $1.70 per share of common stock for payment of interest, which resulted in a beneficial conversion feature of $180,000 that increased deferred financing costs and paid-in capital. The Convertible Note may be prepaid in whole or in part, provided that the market value of the Company’s common stock exceeds $2.13 for a specified period of time and, for any prepayment prior to November 30, 2006, a prepayment premium must be paid of 2%, which decreases to 1% on December 1, 2005. Upon notice of prepayment, the holder has 10 days to convert the Convertible Notes.

 

5. (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE

 

Basic (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted (loss) income per share is computed assuming the conversion of stock options and warrants with exercise prices less than the average market value of the Company’s common stock during the period, and the conversion of convertible debt and preferred stock into common stock to the extent such conversion assumption is dilutive. The following represents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators for basic and diluted (loss) income per share computations (in thousands):

The following shares of common stock were excluded from the above calculations as their effect would have been anti-dilutive: As of March 27, 2005, 764,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note; 6,782,000 shares issuable upon conversion of the Series 2003A Preferred Stock; 1,057,000 shares issuable upon conversion of the Series 2003B Preferred Stock; and 4,055,000 shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series 2004A Preferred Stock. Options and warrants to purchase 4.3 million and 3.4 million shares of common stock were outstanding as of March 27, 2005 and March 28, 2004, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

6. INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

COMFORCE has determined that its reportable segments can be distinguished principally by the types of services offered to the Company’s clients. The Company reports its results through three operating segments — Human Capital Management Services, Staff Augmentation and Financial Outsourcing Services. The Human Capital Management Services segment primarily provides contingent workforce management services. The Staff Augmentation segment provides healthcare support, technical and engineering, information technology (IT), telecommunications and other staffing services. The Financial Outsourcing Services segment provides funding and back office support services to independent consulting and staffing companies.

 

The accounting policies of the segments are described in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2004. COMFORCE evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on operating contribution, which represents segment revenues less direct costs of operations, excluding the allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses. Assets of the operating segments reflect primarily net accounts receivable and goodwill associated with segment activities; all other assets are included as corporate assets. The Company does not evaluate or account for expenditures for long-lived assets on a segment basis.

7. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”). This statement replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation and supercedes APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123(R) requires all stock based compensation to be recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such cost be measured according to the grant date fair value of the stock options or other equity instruments. SFAS 123(R) will be effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. While the Company currently provides the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, on a quarterly basis it is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

10. CONTINGENCIES

 

One of the Company’s significant Staff Augmentation customers (with revenues from the contract with this customer representing approximately 6% of consolidated revenues for fiscal 2004 and approximately 4% of revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2005) announced its intention to evaluate whether the use of contingent labor is consistent with its business model. This customer subsequently advised the Company that it will significantly reduce its utilization of contract labor, including the Company’s employees, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2004 and continuing through the end of the first quarter 2005. However, the proposed reductions have not yet been fully implemented, and management of the Company does not currently believe that any further significant reductions in staffing under this arrangement will be made at least until near the end of the second quarter of 2005. Management intends to continue to aggressively seek to identify new opportunities for any affected employees in an effort to minimize the impact to the Company; however, management can offer no assurances that if the Company loses this customer’s business it will not have an adverse impact on the Company’s revenues in future periods.

 

In addition, in accordance with the terms of the contract, this customer is auditing the payments made under the contract with the Company for 2003. Management does not believe any adjustment to the Company’s fees under this contract is warranted; however, any future adjustment is not estimable.

 

11. SALE OF NICHE TELECOM OPERATIONS

 

Effective as of March 1, 2004, COMFORCE sold an 80% interest in two telecom subsidiaries in the Staff Augmentation segment and sold its remaining 20% minority interest in these companies by June 29, 2004. These subsidiaries operated in the customer premise equipment services niche of the telecom sector, a niche that was outside of the Company’s core competency in telecom. The buyer, Spears Holding Company, Inc., is controlled by an individual who was one of the principals of these companies when they were sold to COMFORCE in 1998. Revenues for the subsidiaries that were sold represented less than 3.5% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in fiscal 2003. All cash proceeds received by the Company to date from this sale have been used to pay down bank debt. The total consideration was a combination of cash, short-term promissory notes and long-term promissory notes, as follows:

 

    In respect of the 80% interest, $500,000 was received in cash at closing with $1,150,000 evidenced by the buyer’s short-term promissory notes providing for the payment of $950,000 by March 31, 2004 and $200,000 by April 30, 2004, which amounts were paid timely. The balance of the purchase price for the 80% interest is payable under the terms of the buyer’s long-term promissory note due on March 1, 2009 in the principal amount of $2,960,000, which provides for monthly payments of interest only at a variable interest rate (which was 6.75% at March 27, 2005) in the first year, with principal and interest payable monthly thereafter (based upon a seven-year amortization) and a balloon payment of the remaining principal due at maturity.

 

    The Company sold an additional 8% interest on May 30, 2004 for $304,000 in cash and an additional long-term promissory note due March 1, 2009 in the principal amount of $296,000 under the same terms of the long-term promissory note received in exchange for the 80% interest above.

 

12


Table of Contents
    The Company sold the remaining 12% interest on June 29, 2004 in exchange for $644,000 in cash as well as an additional buyer’s long-term promissory note due March 1, 2009 in the principal amount of $444,000 under the same terms of the long-term note received in exchange for the 80% interest above.

 

These long-term notes in the total principal amount of $3.7 million were valued at $1.4 million by an independent valuation firm. The sale resulted in a gain of $1,102,000, which represented the excess of the net proceeds (cash and short-term notes of $2,598,000 plus the fair value of the long-term notes of $1,400,000, less transaction costs of $144,000), over the net book value of the net assets of the business sold of $2,752,000. The Company will recognize no gain on this transaction until the cash payments it receives exceed its investment ($2,896,000) in the business sold. All cash initially received under the sale agreement, including principal and interest on the notes, will be recorded as a reduction of net assets held for sale. After such balance has been eliminated, subsequent cash received will be recorded as a gain from discontinued operations up to the amount of the $1,102,000 gain. Once the entire gain has been recognized, additional cash receipts, if any, will be recorded as interest income within other income from continuing operations. The deferred gain has been reflected as an offset to the related notes receivable in the accompanying balance sheets. After application of the consideration received through March 27, 2005 of $2,598,000 described above, and approximately $198,000 of interest received and $34,000 of deferred income taxes, the Company has recorded on its March 27, 2005 balance sheet net assets held for sale of $66,000, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

 

In accordance with SFAS 144, the results of operations from the sale of the Company’s niche telecom operations have been recorded as discontinued operations. The net loss from discontinued operations was $17,000 for the three month period ended March 28, 2004.

 

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In April 2005, the Company repurchased an aggregate of $6.0 million principal amount of its Senior Notes for $6.1 million, utilizing available funds under the PNC Credit Facility. The Senior Notes were purchased from unrelated parties. As a result of these repurchases, the Company will recognize in the second quarter of 2005 a loss on debt extinguishment of $172,000, including a reduction of $67,000 of deferred financing costs.

 

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

 

The discussion set forth below supplements the information found in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes of COMFORCE Corporation (“COMFORCE”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including COMFORCE Operating, Inc. (“COI”) (collectively, the “Company”).

 

Overview and Recent Developments

 

Staffing personnel placed by the Company are employees of the Company. The Company is responsible for employee related expenses for its employees, including workers compensation, unemployment compensation insurance, Medicare and Social Security taxes and general payroll expenses. The Company offers health, dental, 401(k), disability and life insurance to its eligible billable employees. Staffing and consulting companies, including the Company, typically pay their billable employees for their services before receiving payment from their customers, often resulting in significant outstanding receivables. To the extent the Company grows, these receivables will increase and there will be greater requirements for borrowing availability under its credit facility to fund current operations.

 

The Company reports its results through three operating segments — Human Capital Management Services, Staff Augmentation and Financial Outsourcing Services. The Human Capital Management Services segment primarily provides consulting services for managing the contingent workforce. The Staff Augmentation segment

 

13


Table of Contents

provides healthcare support, technical and engineering, information technology (IT), telecommunications and other staffing services. The Financial Outsourcing Services segment provides funding and back office support services to independent consulting and staffing companies.

 

Management of the Company has observed improvement in the business environment for staffing companies beginning in the first quarter of 2003. Recent industry statistics have generally supported management’s observations including, since the beginning of 2004, improvement in the rate of job creation in the United States; however management is unsure if these trends will continue in the remainder of 2005.

 

As previously reported in its periodic reports, one of the Company’s significant Staff Augmentation customers (with revenues from the contract with this customer representing approximately 6% of consolidated revenues for fiscal 2004 and approximately 4% of revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2005) announced its intention to evaluate whether the use of contingent labor is consistent with its business model and subsequently advised the Company that it will significantly reduce its utilization of contract labor, including the Company’s employees, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2004 and continuing through the end of the first quarter 2005. However, the proposed reductions have not yet been fully implemented, and management of the Company does not currently believe that any further significant reductions in staffing under this arrangement will be made at least until near the end of the second quarter of 2005. Management intends to continue to aggressively seek to identify new opportunities for any affected employees in an effort to minimize the impact to the Company; however, management can offer no assurances that if the Company loses this customer’s business it will not have an adverse impact on the Company’s revenues in future periods.

 

In addition, in accordance with the terms of the contract, this customer is auditing the payments made under the contract with the Company for 2003. Management does not believe any adjustment to the Company’s fees under this contract is warranted; however, any future adjustment is not estimable.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

As disclosed in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2004, the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in those financial statements. These judgments can be subjective and complex, and consequently actual results could differ from those estimates. Our most critical accounting policies relate to allowance for doubtful accounts, accrued workers compensation liability, goodwill impairment, and income taxes. Since December 26, 2004, there have been no changes in our critical accounting policies and no other significant changes to the methods used in the assumptions and estimates related to them.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months ended March 27, 2005 compared to Three Months ended March 28, 2004

 

Net sales of services for the three months ended March 27, 2005 were $123.7 million, which represents a 15.1% increase from the $107.4 million in net sales of services realized for the three months ended March 28, 2004. Net sales of services in the Human Capital Management Services segment increased by $14.0 million or 24.2%, due to an increase in its client base and services provided to existing clients. Management believes that the increase in clients is reflective of a trend for companies to rely increasingly on providers of human capital management services, such as those provided by the Company’s PrO Unlimited subsidiary. In the Staff Augmentation segment, the increase of $2.7 million or 5.7% is principally attributable to technical services customers under government contracts, and to information technology services customers, partially offset by a decline in the number of customers serviced by telecom. Net sales of services were lower by $443,000 or 27.1% in the Financial Outsourcing Services segment, principally due to a reduction in the number of customers.

Table of Contents

Cost of services for the three months ended March 27, 2005 was 86.3% of net sales of services as compared to cost of services of 84.7% of net sales of services for the three months ended March 28, 2004. The cost of services as a percentage of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 increased from the first quarter of fiscal 2004 principally as a result of increased competitive pricing, higher state unemployment rates prevalent throughout the country, higher growth in Human Capital Management Services which have a higher cost of services as a percentage of net sales of services and a reduction in the number of clients serviced under the Financial Outsourcing Services segment.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales of services were 11.1% for the three months ended March 27, 2005, compared to 11.8% for the three months ended March 28, 2004. Since the first quarter of 2003, management’s on-going initiatives to contain selling, general and administrative costs and improve back office efficiencies have enabled the Company to increase sales at a rate greater than the rate of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, which has contributed to the Company’s overall improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales. The $1.0 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to an increase in variable costs associated with the increase of sales discussed above, partially offset by a $0.3 million recovery of bad debts.

 

Operating income for the three months ended March 27, 2005 was $2.3 million as compared to operating income of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 28, 2004. The Company’s lower operating income for the 2005 period is principally due to an increase in the cost of services discussed above, partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales.

 

The Company’s interest expense for the three months ended March 27, 2005 was principally attributable to interest recorded on the PNC Credit Facility, the Convertible Note and the Senior Notes. The interest expense of $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2005 was lower as compared to the interest expense of $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2004. This reduction was principally due to the exchange and repurchase of $6.7 million of Convertible Notes and $18.1 million of Senior Notes during 2004. These decreases were partially offset by increased interest expense on the Company’s revolving line of credit due to higher average outstanding balances and interest rates in the first quarter of 2005. See “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this Item 2.

 

As a result of the Company’s repurchase of Senior Notes during the first quarter of 2004, the Company recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2004, including a reduction of $219,000 of deferred financing costs. The purpose of these transactions was to improve the Company’s balance sheet through the elimination of higher interest rate debt.

 

The income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2005 was $209,000 (a rate of 45.5%) on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $459,000. The income tax provision for the first quarter of 2004 was $713,000 (a rate of 47.0%) on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $1.5 million. The difference between income taxes at the federal statutory income tax rate and the Company’s tax provision for the respective periods relates primarily to state income taxes and a disallowance for non-deductible expenses.

 

In accordance with SFAS 144, the results of operations from the sale of the Company’s niche telecom operations (as described in note 11 to the consolidated financial statements) have been recorded as discontinued operations. The net loss from discontinued operations was $17,000 for the quarter ended March 28, 2004.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company generally pays its billable employees weekly or bi-weekly for their services, and remits certain statutory payroll and related taxes as well as other fringe benefits. Invoices are generated to reflect these costs plus the Company’s markup. These bills are typically paid within 35 days. Increases in the Company’s net sales of services, resulting from expansion of existing offices or establishment of new offices, will require additional cash resources.

 

Off-Balance Sheet and Contractual Obligations: During the three months ended March 27, 2005, the

Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating leases entered into in the normal course of business, as indicated in the table below.

The Company also had standby letters of credit outstanding at March 27, 2005 in the aggregate amount of $5.1 million.

 

In June 2003, COMFORCE, COI and various of their operating subsidiaries entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “PNC Credit Facility”) with PNC Bank, National Association, as a lender and administrative agent (“PNC”) and other financial institutions participating as lenders. The PNC Credit Facility is a revolving credit facility with available borrowings based, generally, on 85.0% of the Company’s accounts receivable aged 90 days or less, subject to specified limitations and exceptions, up to $85.0 million.

 

Borrowings under the PNC Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a per annum rate equal to either (1) the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the base commercial lending rate of PNC as announced from time to time, or (2) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.5% if the Company’s fixed charges coverage ratio is greater than 1.30:1 to 3.0% if this ratio is 1.05:1 (with the margin having been 2.75% on borrowings from inception of the facility through March 27, 2005). The obligations under the PNC Credit Facility are collateralized by a pledge of the capital stock of certain key operating subsidiaries of the Company and by security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company. The agreements evidencing the PNC Credit Facility contain various financial and other covenants and conditions, including, but not limited to, a prohibition on paying cash dividends, and limitations on engaging in affiliate transactions, making acquisitions and incurring additional indebtedness. The scheduled maturity date of the PNC Credit Facility is June 24, 2007.

 

In September 2004, the PNC Credit Facility was amended to increase the Company’s flexibility to draw funds under the facility to repurchase Senior Notes. As amended, the Company is permitted to repurchase or prepay Senior Notes so long as the remaining availability, as defined in the agreement, under the PNC Credit Facility is at least $7.5 million for the specified measurement period. In addition, the annual $15.0 million limit on repurchases of Senior Notes was modified to permit the carryover from any prior calendar year of any unused portion of this amount, so long as the other criteria for borrowing are then satisfied. In February 2005, the PNC Credit Facility was further amended to provide for borrowings of up to $85.0 million, a $10.0 million increase.

 

During the three months ended March 27, 2005, the Company provided $48,000 of cash from continuing operations. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $9.5 million during the three months ended March 27, 2005. The reduction of cash primarily resulted from $621,000 of capital expenditures and a net repayment of $9.1 million of borrowings under the PNC Credit Facility.

 

At March 27, 2005, the Company had outstanding $42.5 million principal amount under the PNC Credit Facility bearing interest at a weighted average rate of 5.58% per annum. At such date, the Company had remaining availability of $22.6 million, as defined in the agreement, under the PNC Credit Facility.

Table of Contents

At March 27, 2005, the Company also had outstanding (i) $64.4 million principal amount of Senior Notes bearing interest at 12% per annum and (ii) $1.3 million principal amount of Convertible Notes bearing interest at 8% per annum. On April 14, 2005, the Company repurchased an additional $6.0 million of Senior Notes, following which the outstanding amount of Senior Notes was reduced to $58.4 million (see note 4) and the Company’s availability under the PNC Credit Facility was reduced by $6.1 million.

 

Substantially all of the consolidated net assets of the Company are assets of COI and all of the net income that had been generated by the Company was attributable to the operations of COI. Except for permitted distributions, these assets and any cumulated net income are restricted as to their use by COMFORCE. The indenture governing the Senior Notes imposes restrictions on COI making specified payments, which are referred to as “restricted payments,” including making distributions or paying dividends (referred to as upstreaming funds) to COMFORCE. Under the indenture, COI is not permitted to make cash distributions to COMFORCE other than to upstream $2.0 million annually to pay public company expenses, and to upstream funds to the extent COI meets the restricted payments test under the indenture, the most significant component of which is based upon 50% of net income generated by COI since January 1, 1998 on a cumulative basis, less prior distributions made in reliance on this provision. In calculating net income for this purpose, under the terms of the indenture, the Company must apply generally accepted accounting principles as in effect at the time the indenture was entered into in 1997. Principally as a result of distributions made, and losses incurred by COI in prior years, COI can make no distributions to COMFORCE based upon the cumulative net income provisions of the indenture until COI generates net income of approximately $11.0 million. However, COMFORCE has approximately $1.6 million available at March 27, 2005 from proceeds it has generated from the sale of stock, principally upon the exercise of options and warrants. This $1.6 million may be used by COMFORCE to pay interest on the Convertible Notes or for other business purposes.

 

The Company has made significant progress in improving its capital structure through the elimination of long-term debt through the purchase or exchange of Senior Notes, Convertible Notes and other instruments. Since June 2000, the Company has reduced its public debt from $138.8 million to $58.4 million. As a result, COMFORCE has reduced its annualized interest expense by approximately $9.0 million, including by borrowing at the lower rates available under the PNC Credit Facility to effectuate repurchases of long-term debt and by exchanging preferred stock and lower interest rate Convertible Notes for public debt.

 

The Company’s Series 2003A, 2003B and 2004A Preferred Stock provide for dividends of 7.5% per annum and, at March 27, 2005 there were cumulated, unpaid and undeclared dividends of $972,000 on the Series 2003A Preferred Stock, $58,000 on the Series 2003B Preferred Stock and $156,000 on the Series 2004A Preferred Stock.

 

Management of the Company believes that cash flow from operations and funds anticipated to be available under the PNC Credit Facility will be sufficient to service the Company’s indebtedness and to meet currently anticipated working capital requirements for the next 12 months. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the PNC Credit Facility at March 27, 2005 and expects to remain in compliance for the next 12 months. In the event that the Company is unable to meet any of such covenants, it will request a modification (or waiver) of such covenants.

 

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (R), Share Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”). This statement replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation and supercedes APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123 (R) requires all stock based compensation to be recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such cost be measured according to the grant date fair value of the stock options or other equity instruments. SFAS 123 (R) will be effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. While the Company currently provides the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, on a quarterly basis (see “Note 3 - Stock Compensation Plans”), it is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Seasonality

 

The Company’s quarterly operating results are affected primarily by the number of billing days in the quarter and the seasonality of its customers’ businesses. Demand for technical and engineering services, IT and telecom staffing services has historically been lower during the second half of the fourth quarter through the following first quarter, and, generally, shows gradual improvement until the second half of the fourth quarter.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

Various statements made in this Report concerning the manner in which the Company intends to conduct its future operations, and potential trends that may impact future results of operations, are forward looking statements. The Company may be unable to realize its plans and objectives due to various important factors, including, but not limited to the following: the loss of key customers, weakness in job growth, a reduction in corporate or government spending, adverse economic conditions generally or in key industries served by the Company, or a reduction in the demand for outsourcing services generally which could heighten competition among staffing companies and negatively impact revenues and margins; the Company’s significant leverage may leave it with a diminished ability to obtain additional financing for working capital or other capital expenditures, for retiring higher interest rate debt or for otherwise improving the Company’s competitiveness and capital structure or expanding its operations; SFAS 142, which requires the Company to evaluate at least annually the recoverability of goodwill on its books, could cause the Company to write-off goodwill in future periods, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations; or, if COI fails to generate sufficient consolidated net income in future periods or to have other funds available to upstream to COMFORCE under the restricted payments test of the Senior Notes indenture.

 

Additional important factors that could cause the Company to be unable to realize its plans and objectives are described under “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement on Form S-8 of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2003 (Registration No. 333-104730). The disclosure under “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement may be accessed through the Web site maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission at “www.sec.gov.” In addition, the Company will provide, without charge, a copy of such “Risk Factors” disclosure to each stockholder of the Company who requests such information.
