FORTUNE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED,
EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

Basis of Presentation: The financial data presented herein is unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Fortune Industries, Inc. (which, together with its subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise, shall be referred to herein as the “Company”). The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information or footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2010, and the consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the period ended September 30, 2010 have been prepared by the Company without audit. These unaudited financial statements contain, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals and other recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time these financial statements in the Form 10-Q report were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The operating results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Nature of Business: Fortune Industries, Inc. is an Indiana corporation, originally incorporated in Delaware in 1988. The Company is comprised of Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) which provide full-service human resources outsourcing services through co-employment relationships with their clients. Wholly owned subsidiaries operating in this industry include Professional Staff Management, Inc. and related entities (“PSM”); CSM, Inc. and related subsidiaries (“CSM”); Precision Employee Management, LLC (“PEM”); and Employer Solutions Group, Inc. and related entities (“ESG”).

The Companies bill their clients under Professional Services Agreements as licensed PEOs. The billing includes amounts for the client’s gross wages, payroll taxes, employee benefits, workers’ compensation insurance and an administration fee. The administration fee charged by the companies in this segment is typically a percentage of the gross payroll and is sufficient to allow the companies in this segment to provide payroll administration services, human resources consulting services, worksite safety training, and employment regulatory compliance for no additional fees.

The component of the administration fee related to administration varies, in part, according to the size of the client, the amount and frequency of payroll payments and the delivery method of such payments. The component of the administration fee related to health, workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance is based, in part, on the client’s historical claims experience. Charges by the Companies in this segment are invoiced along with each periodic payroll delivered to the client.

Through the co-employment contractual relationship, the Companies become the statutory employer and, as such, all payroll-related taxes are filed on these Companies’ federal, state, and local tax identification numbers. The clients are not required to file any payroll related taxes on their own behalf. The calculations of amounts the Companies in this segment owe and pay the various government and employment insurance vendors are based on the experience levels and activity of the Companies in this segment.

Restricted Cash: Restricted cash includes certificates of deposits and letters of credit issued to collateralize its obligations under its workers’ compensation program and certain general insurance coverage. At September 30, 2010, the Company had $2,517 in total restricted cash. Of this, $2,247 is restricted for various workers’ compensation programs in accordance with terms of insurance carrier agreements, and the remainder is restricted for certain standby letters of credits in accordance with various state regulations.

Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets: Goodwill and other intangible assets with indeterminate lives are assessed for impairment at least annually and more often as triggering events occur. In making this assessment, management relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and transactions and market place data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of both goodwill and other intangible assets impairment. Since management judgment is involved in performing goodwill and other intangible assets valuation analyses, there is risk that the carrying value of the goodwill and other intangible assets may be overstated or understated.

The Company has elected to perform the annual impairment test of recorded goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of the end of fiscal first quarter. As of November 15, 2010, the current annual impairment test is in process. The results of the last completed annual impairment test indicated that the fair value of the Business Solutions segment, as of September 30, 2009, exceeded the carrying, or book value, including goodwill, and therefore recorded goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets were not subject to impairment.

 
9

 

Self Insurance: The Company’s PSM subsidiary maintains a loss-sensitive worksite employees’ health and accident benefit program. Under the insurance policy, PSM’s self-funded liability is limited to $225 per employee, with an aggregate liability limit of approximately $7.6 million. The aggregate liability limits are adjusted monthly based on the number of participants.

Workers’ Compensation: The Company’s PSM and CSM subsidiaries maintain partially self-funded workers’ compensation insurance programs. Under the insurance policies established at each company, PSM and CSM’s deductible liability is limited to $250 per incident, with an aggregate liability limit of approximately $2,000. Under the insurance policy established at ESG, the deductible liability is limited to $350 per incident, with no aggregate liability limit.

NOTE 2 – MEASUREMENT OF FAIR VALUE

Effective September 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). In determining fair value in accordance with ASC 820, we utilize market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Classification of the financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as follows:

Level 1
Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2
Financial instruments lacking unadjusted, quoted prices from active market exchanges, including over-the-counter traded financial instruments. The prices for the financial instruments are determined using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3
Financial instruments that are not actively traded on a market exchange. This category includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs or valuation techniques.

As of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, we did not have any financial assets utilizing Level 1. Financial assets utilizing Level 2 inputs consist of cash held in certificates of deposit with various financial institutions. The fair value measurement of these items is determined by using prices for recently traded CD’s with similar interest rates. The fair value for the Level 2 financial instruments was $1,448 and $1,745 as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Financial liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs included put options related to common stock issued in conjunction with the purchase of ESG. The fair value measurement of this Level 3 item has been estimated using the stated contractual put price of $3.75 per share. The fair value for the Level 3 financial instruments was $116 and $247 as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.


Term Note

On May 29, 2009, the Company entered into a $250 term loan note with a bank. The term loan note matured on October 28, 2009 and incurred interest at the Prime Rate plus 2.0%. The note was collateralized by certain assets of the Company’s majority shareholders. The loan required the Company to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.0 among other covenants. In January 2010, the Company was held harmless on the note and was released from the obligation by the bank. The amount forgiven of $250 is included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity as Additional Paid-in Capital.

 
10

 

On April 30, 2010, the Company entered into a $1 million term note with a bank. The term note requires twenty four consecutive monthly payments of principal plus accrued interest at the Bank’s Prime Rate (not less than 4.5% per annum). The term note matures on April 30, 2012. The term note is secured by all assets of the Company and the personal guarantee of the Company’s majority shareholder. The note is subject to certain covenants including minimum cash flow coverage and current ratio requirements.

NOTE 4– EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS AND OTHER STOCK COMPENSATION

Restricted Share Units

Effective April 13, 2006, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. Under terms of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may grant options, restricted share units and other stock-based awards to its management personnel as well as other individuals for up to 1.0 million shares of common stock. During the period ended September 30, 2010, 10,000 restricted share units were issued under this plan.

NOTE 5- SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010.

On September 25, 2009, the Company reached an agreement with the Chairman to amend the dividend rates on the Series C Preferred Stock with an effective date of July 1, 2009. From the effective date forward the Series C Preferred Stock will bear an annual dividend of $2 per share in the years ending June 30, 2010 and 2011, $5 per share in the year ending June 30, 2012, $6 per share in the year ending June 30, 2013 and $7 per share thereafter. All other items of the Series C Preferred Shares remained unchanged. Dividends of $148 and $148 were accrued and/or paid for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On September 25, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the Chairman’s request to utilize approximately $8.15 million of the Company’s capital loss carryforward for individual tax purposes related to the Chairman’s personal loss on indebtedness associated with the sales transaction as described in Note 2. The transaction had no effect on assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity and net income as the Company had established that the capital loss carryforwards presented no material value to the Company and therefore have not been included in the calculation of deferred tax assets.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Statements contained in this document, as well as some statements by the Company in periodic press releases and oral statements of Company officials during presentations about the Company constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”). Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictive in nature, depend on or refer to future events or conditions, which include words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “believe” and similar expressions. These statements are based on the current intent, belief or expectation of the Company with respect to, among other things, trends affecting the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. These statements are not guaranties of future performance and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Actual events and results involve risks and uncertainties and may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences, include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties that are discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” disclosed within Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010. Readers should carefully review the risk factors referred to above and the other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OVERVIEW

As a holding company we have historically invested in businesses that we believe are undervalued or underperforming, and /or in operations that are poised for significant growth. Management’s strategic focus is to support the growth of its operations by increasing revenues and revenue streams, managing costs and creating earnings growth.

Our operations are largely decentralized from the corporate office. Autonomy is given to subsidiary entities, and there are few integrated business functions (i.e. sales, marketing, purchasing and human resources). Day-to-day operating decisions are made by subsidiary management teams. Our Corporate management team assists in operational decisions when deemed necessary, selects subsidiary management teams and handles capital allocation among our operations.

We were incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1988, restructured in 2000 and redomesticated to the state of Indiana in May 2005.

Until November 30, 2008, we classified our businesses under five operating segments: Business Solutions; Wireless Infrastructure; Transportation Infrastructure; Ultraviolet Technologies; and Electronics Integration. Effective November 30, 2008, we approved the sale of all of our remaining operating subsidiaries within four of our five segments (Wireless Infrastructure, Transportation Infrastructure, Ultraviolet Infrastructure, and Electronics Integration). Consequently, as of the effective date of the transaction, our Business Solutions segment is the Company’s remaining operating segment. The sales transaction, combined with other significant events disclosed in the Companies Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010, changed the focus of our Company in fiscal 2009 and thereafter. This operational change in our Company impacts our comparability of our financial information compared to historical data presented in past filings.

Recent Developments

Effective May 2010, Ms. Julia Reed resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee. Ms. Reed’s resignation was not due to a disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. As a result of Ms. Reed’s resignation, the Company does not meet the minimum audit committee requirements of the NYSE Amex guidelines. Therefore by letter dated July 2, 2010 the Company was notified by the NYSE Amex that it is not in compliance with Section 803(B)(2)(c) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide, in that the Company’s audit committee is not comprised of at least two independent directors. Pursuant to Section 803(B)(6) of the Company Guide, the Company has until the earlier of its next annual shareholders’ meeting or one year from the occurrence of the event that caused the failure to comply with the requirement to regain compliance. The Company is currently interviewing potential candidates for the position of independent director and audit committee member and expects to have this position filled by the required timeframe.

On April 30, 2010, the Company entered into a $1 million term note with a bank. The term note requires twenty four consecutive monthly payments of principal plus accrued interest at the Bank’s Prime Rate (not less than 4.5% per annum). The term note matures on April 30, 2012. The term note is secured by all assets of the Company and the personal guarantee of the Company’s majority shareholder. The note is subject to certain covenants including minimum cash flow coverage and current ratio requirements.

On January 15, 2010, our Board of Directors appointed Tena Mayberry to the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Ms. Mayberry replaced John F. Fisbeck as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

On January 15, 2010, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with its CEO John Fisbeck which included a) immediate resignation of Mr. Fisbeck as CEO of the company, b) immediate resignation of Mr. Fisbeck from the Company’s Board of Directors, and c) waiver of certain severance payments included in his Employment Agreement.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s accounting policies, which are in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, require application of methodologies, estimates and judgments that have a significant impact on the results reported in the Company’s financial statements. Those policies that, in the belief of management, are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application, are disclosed on the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010. Since June 30, 2010, there have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820-10 (formerly SFAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements” was issued. ASC 820-10 establishes a framework for measuring fair value by providing a standard definition of fair value as it applies to assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10, which does not require any new fair value measurements, clarifies the application of other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, the FASB delayed the effective date of ASC 820-10 for all non-financial assets and non-financials liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Accordingly, we adopted ASC 820-10 for our financial assets and liabilities on September 1, 2008 and adopted ASC 820-10 for our non-financial assets and liabilities on July 1, 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC No. 805-10 (formerly SFAS No. 141R) “Business Combinations”. ASC No.805-10 establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The statements also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and specifies what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. ASC No. 805-10 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Our effective date for ASC 805-10 was July 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC No. 805-10 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued ASC 260-10 (formerly FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1), “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities”. ASC 260-10 concludes that unvested restricted share awards that pay nonforfeitable cash dividends are participating securities and are subject to the two-class method of computing earnings per share. Our effective date for ASC 260-10 was July 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC 260-10 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 
12

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC No. 825-10-65-1 (formerly FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1), “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. This ASC essentially expands the disclosure about fair value of financial instruments that were previously required only annually to also be required for interim period reporting. In addition, the ASC requires certain additional disclosures regarding the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. These additional disclosures will be required beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2009. The adoption of ASC No. 825-10-65-1 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, FASB ASC 855-10 (formerly SFAS No. 165), “Subsequent Events” was issued. ASC 855-10 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date (“subsequent events”), but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued and requires disclosure of the date through which the entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. ASC 855-10 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009; the Company adopted ASC 855-10 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the time we filed our Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission and will continue to evaluate subsequent events through the issuance date of future required filings. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, FASB ASC 105-10 (formerly SFAS 168), “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” was issued. ASC 105-10 is the single official source of authoritative U.S. GAAP, superseding all other accounting literature except that issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of July 2009, only one level of authoritative U.S. GAAP exists. All other literature will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification does not change U.S. GAAP; instead, it introduces a new referencing system that is designed to be an easily accessible, user-friendly online research system. ASC 105-10 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC 105-10 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to the disclosure requirement related to fair value measurements. The amendment, FASB ASC 820-10-65 requires new disclosures related to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. A reporting entity is required to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. Additionally, in the reconciliation for fair value measurements in Level 3, a reporting entity must present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements (on a gross basis rather than a net number). The new disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not anticipate that our adoption of this amendment will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after September 30, 2010, are not expected to have a significant effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Net income available to common stock shareholders was $0.3 million or $0.02 per diluted share on revenue of $15.6 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared with net income available to common stock shareholders of $0.7 million or $0.05 per diluted share on revenue of $14.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. This represents a 5% increase in revenue and a 54% decrease in net income.

The increase in revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 is primarily due to an increase in worksite employees.

The decrease in net income available to common shareholders for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 is primarily due to a deferred tax benefit in the amount of $0.271 million recognized in the three-month period ended September 30, 2009.

Results are described in further detail as follows:

Operating results for three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 are as follows:

Revenue

Revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 was $15.6 million, compared to $14.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $0.7 million or 5%. Revenue increased primarily due to an increase in worksite employees.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 was $3.2 million, representing 21% of revenue, compared to $3.4 million, representing 23% of revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $0.2 million or 6%. Gross profit decreased due to an increase in the claims incurred for workers compensation.

Operating Income

Operating income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 was $0.5 million, compared to operating income of $0.5 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. Operating income remained relatively unchanged. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of the overall revenue was due to an increase in the claims incurred for workers compensation during the three month period ending September 30, 2010.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $0.01 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $0.004 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $0.006 million or 150%. The increase was due to interest payments on the term note entered into on April 30, 2010.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $0.035 and ($0.271) million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and, 2009, respectively. This increase is due to the fact that the Company recognized a deferred tax benefit of $250,000 in the three month period ending September 30, 2009 based on Management’s evaluation of the deferred tax assets and the valuation allowance at that time. A valuation allowance is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets, if the Company had a federal tax operating loss and based on the weight of the evidence; it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management determined that a $250,000 adjustment to the valuation allowance for the three month period ending September 30, 2009 was necessary to increase the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. The change in the valuation allowance for that period resulted in the recognition of a tax benefit of $250,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of liquidity include cash and equivalents and proceeds from debt borrowings. We had cash and equivalents of $5.3 million at September 30, 2010 and $2.3 million at June 30, 2010. The increase in cash was due to the timing of the quarter end in relation to the timing of our client’s payroll processing cycles. Due to the quarter ending on a Thursday, the Company received approximately $3.2 million in customer deposits to fund our worksite employee payrolls for the Friday payroll cycle. This resulted in an elevated cash balance as well as an increase in current liabilities of approximately $3.2 million as of September 30, 2010.

We had working capital of $1.7 million at September 30, 2010 compared with $1.2 million at June 30, 2010. The increase in working capital was a direct result of an additional quarter of profitability and positive EBITDA. Current assets are primarily comprised of cash and equivalents, net accounts receivable, and prepaid expenses. Current liabilities are primarily comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The Company is required to collateralize its obligations under its workers’ compensation and certain general insurance coverage. The Company uses its cash and cash equivalents to collateralize these obligations. Restricted cash was approximately $2.5 million and $2.8 million at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

Total debt at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010 was $0.8 and $0.9 million, respectively.

Cash Flows

Cash flows provided by operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 were $3.3 million and ($1.0) million, respectively. This increase in operating cash flows was due primarily to customer deposits received due to the timing of the end of the period and fluctuations in other accrued liabilities and health and workers’ compensation reserves.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was ($0.02) million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to ($0.01) million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures.

Net cash flow used in financing activities was ($0.231) million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to ($0.006) million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to payments on term debt and preferred stock dividends.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS

There have been no material changes to the Company’s contractual obligations from those disclosed in the Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 under “Item 7-Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As is common in the industries we operate in, we have entered into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business that result in risks not directly reflected in our balance sheets. Our significant off-balance sheet transactions include transactions with related parties, liabilities associated with guarantees, letter of credit obligations and surety guarantees.

Guarantees

Significant portions of our letters of credit are personally guaranteed by the Company’s Chairman. Future changes to these guarantees would affect financing capacity of the Company.

Restricted Cash

Certain states and vendors require us to post letters of credit to ensure payment of taxes or payments to our vendors under workers’ compensation contracts and to guarantee performance under our contracts. Such letters of credit are generally issued by a bank or similar financial institution. The letter of credit commits the issuer to pay specified amounts to the holder of the letter of credit if the holder demonstrates that we have failed to perform specified actions. If this situation were to occur, we would be required to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit. Depending on the circumstances of such a reimbursement, we may also have to record a charge to earnings for the reimbursement. We do not believe that it is likely that any claims will be made under a letter of credit in the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2010, we had approximately $2.5 million in restricted cash primarily to secure obligations under our PEO contracts in the Business Solutions segment.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes from the information previously reported under “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President/Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Based on the foregoing, our President/Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2010.
 
Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the President/Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
 
Based upon this assessment, we determined that our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010 was not effective.
 
Management identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting: due to an error related to a $250,000 reclassification adjustment from gain on extinguishment of debt to additional paid-in capital noted during a routine SEC review of recent filings, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not sufficient to prevent the misstatement.  The transaction that caused the error was evaluated thoroughly prior to the filing of our September 30, 2010 Form 10-Q filed on November 15, 2010 between management and the audit committee; however, the Company’s interpretation of the appropriate treatment was inaccurate.
 
In addition, management of the Company has concluded its disclosure procedures were inadequate due to the fact that the Company made an incorrect conclusion and needed to restate the original 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, and should have at that time disclosed the financial reporting inadequacy.
 
Management has resolved these weaknesses through certain personnel changes,  the addition of a financial expert to the Company’s board of directors, and the addition of procedures for external review of accounting questions, and management of the Company has concluded the ineffective control contributing to the misstatement has been cured as of March 31, 2011.
 
This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report.
 
Changes in Internal Controls
 
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our President/Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
