Independent Auditor’s Report
 
To the Board of Directors
Tri-Diamond Staffing, Inc.
New York, New York
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tri-Diamond Staffing, Inc. (Successor) as of December 31, 2009 and of Diamond Staffing, Inc. (Predecessor) as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 (Successor period) and 2008 (Predecessor period).  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the aforementioned Successor consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tri-Diamond Staffing, Inc. as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the Successor period in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Further, in our opinion, the aforementioned Predecessor consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Diamond Staffing, Inc. as of December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the Predecessor period in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2009, Tri-Diamond Staffing, Inc. acquired all of the outstanding stock of Diamond Staffing, Inc. in a business combination accounted for as an acquisition.  As a result of the acquisition, the consolidated financial information for the period after the acquisition is presented on a different basis than that for the period before the acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable.

Tri-Diamond Staffing, Inc. (Successor) and Diamond Staffing, Inc. (Predecessor)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
Note 1.
Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Tri-Diamond Staffing, Inc. (the “Company”) and its predecessor, Diamond Staffing, Inc. (“Diamond”) is a national provider of temporary staffing services, predominately in the areas of light industrial and administrative support.  Light industrial services include employee assignments in warehouses, production, manufacturing and distribution at client locations.  Administrative support consists of office and clerical assignments at many of the same client locations.  The Company is fully responsible for all payroll tax and insurance expense incurred as a result of these assignments.  Assignments are facilitated through 17 offices and 14 “on-site” client locations throughout the United States.

The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring all of the outstanding common stock of Diamond.  This transaction (the “Acquisition”) was consummated on January 1, 2009, resulting in a change in control, and has been accounted for as a business combination.  As a result of the Acquisition, the financial information for the periods after the Acquisition is on a different cost basis than that for the period before the Acquisition.  The difference in cost basis affects the amounts at which certain assets and liabilities are carried in the balance sheets and the amounts of certain revenues and expenses that are recognized in the statements of operations, which as a result are not comparable.

The Company is referred to as the “Successor” for all periods subsequent to the Acquisition.  All references to “Predecessor” refer to Diamond for the period prior to the Acquisition, which operated under a different ownership and capital structure.

Organization

On January 1, 2009, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Diamond under a stock purchase agreement.  Diamond was acquired for the purpose of expanding the ultimate owner of the Company’s investments in staffing businesses throughout the United States.

The Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method, with consideration, assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at fair value.  Goodwill of $2,619,907 arising from the acquisition consists largely of the assembled workforce and other expected synergies, such as reduced worker’s compensation costs.  For income tax purposes, no goodwill is expected to be deductible.  In addition, the Company agreed to pay a percentage of 2009 gross profit to the seller.  Contingent consideration of $391,879 was recognized as of the acquisition date, all of which was paid to the seller in 2009.

The following table summarizes the consideration and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:
 
Aggregate consideration paid:
     
Cash paid to and on behalf of seller
  $ 1,500,000  
Installment payments due to seller
    4,200,000  
Discount on installment payments due to seller

In accordance with the terms of the Acquisition, the seller received all of Diamond’s current assets and assumed all of Diamond’s liabilities in existence at the time of the closing of the Acquisition.  Additionally, the seller indemnified the Company with respect to any obligations incurred prior to closing.  For accounting purposes, the requirements for recognition of the transfer of the liabilities to the seller had not been met at the time of closing.  These liabilities are presented above as obligations assumed by seller.  A corresponding indemnification asset, representing the Company’s right to recoup any claims from the seller is also included among the assets acquired.  As of December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010, all of the obligations had been paid by the seller with the exception of pre-acquisition worker’s compensation accruals totaling approximately $250,000 and $34,000, respectively.

Diamond holds a certificate of deposit, which was originally entered into prior to the Acquisition in connection with the above mentioned worker’s compensation accruals.  Although Diamond holds the certificate of deposit, the seller has rights to these funds and it is anticipated that upon the resolution of the worker’s compensation accruals, any remaining funds will be released to the seller.  As such, a corresponding obligation to the seller in an amount equal to the certificate of deposit is included among the obligations assumed.  Similarly, an amount equal to the certificate of deposit balance is included in due to seller in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010.

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies follows:

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Diamond.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
Revenue Recognition

Revenues from temporary services provided are recognized when earned and are generally billed weekly or monthly.  Unbilled receivables represent services that have been performed but have not been billed as of period end.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents cash received by the Company on behalf of the seller of Diamond subsequent to the date of the Acquisition.  Such amounts are expected to be paid to the seller and are included in due to seller at December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010.

Restricted Certificate of Deposit

Certificates of deposit are carried at cost, which approximates market value.  Such balances are maintained in connection with the Predecessor’s insurance policies.

Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and do not bear interest.  Accounts receivable meeting certain eligibility criteria may be sold to a financial institution under a factoring agreement.  These transactions do not meet the requirement for derecognition.  The factored receivables are included in accounts receivable and the advances received by the Company are accounted for as secured borrowings (Note 4).

The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable.  The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and management’s assessment of any specific customer collection issues.  Account balances are written off after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination.  Goodwill is tested annually for impairment on December 31 or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.  This determination is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps.  First, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit and compares it to its carrying amount.  Second, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill.  No goodwill impairment was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2009 or the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.  There were no impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Workers’ Compensation Claims and Expenses

The Company is self-insured for certain losses relating to worker’s compensation claims.  The Company has stop-loss coverage to limit the exposure arising from these claims.  Self-insurance claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based upon management’s estimates of the discounted ultimate cost for uninsured claims incurred using actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and historical experience.  Although management believes it has the ability to reasonably estimate losses related to claims, it is possible that actual results could differ from recorded self-insurance liabilities.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  The Company incurred advertising expenses as follows:

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable.  To minimize risk, ongoing credit assessments of customers’ financial condition are performed, although collateral, to date, has not been required.

Accounts receivable from and sales to a major customer represent the following percentages of the Company’s accounts receivable and revenue:

Income Taxes

The Company is a member of a group that files consolidated federal and state tax returns. Accordingly, income taxes payable to (refundable from) the tax authorities are recognized on the financial statements of the parent company who is the taxpayer for income tax purposes. The members of the consolidated group allocate payment to any member of the group for the income tax reduction resulting from the member’s inclusion in the consolidated return, or the member makes payments to the parent company for its allocated share of the consolidated income tax liability. This allocation approximates the amounts that would be reported if the Company was separately filing its tax returns. The result of these allocations is reported on the accompanying balance sheets under the caption “Income tax payable - parent company”.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.  Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable earnings.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

As of January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  This provision addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under ASC 740-10, the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities.  The determination is based on the technical merits of the position and presumes that each uncertain tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.  The adoption of these provisions did not have any impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

The Company classifies interest and if applicable, penalties related to income tax liabilities as a component of income tax expense.  The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states.  The Company and the Predecessor generally have open tax years from 2006 forward.

Subsequent Events

Management evaluates events or transactions that occur after the statement of financial position date for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Management evaluated subsequent events through March 4, 2011, in connection with the issuance of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the period ended September 30, 2010, which is the date the respective financial statements were available to be issued.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on reported net income (loss) or stockholders’ equity (deficit).

Advances on Accounts Receivable

The Predecessor was a party to a factoring agreement (the “Old Agreement”) pursuant to which a bank had agreed to purchase eligible accounts receivable up to a maximum outstanding amount of $4.8 million and under which the Predecessor pledged as collateral and granted a security interest in all assets of the Predecessor.  The bank purchased acceptable accounts receivable on a recourse basis at a discounted purchase price.  The discount fee was generally equal to 1.30% of the gross invoice amount (0.45% for a specific customer) and was paid at the time of purchase.  Upon the factoring of the receivables, the Predecessor received an initial payment equal to 90% of the net amount of the accounts receivable invoices.  The Predecessor received the remaining amount after the net amount of the invoices had been remitted to the bank.  The accounts receivable were purchased with recourse against the Predecessor and the Predecessor was responsible for paying the financial institution for any accounts receivable for which payment was not received within 90 days of the invoice date.  The Old Agreement was accounted for as a collateralized borrowing arrangement with outstanding advances on receivables of $3,175,754 at December 31, 2008.  The Old Agreement was terminated as a result of the Acquisition.
