Corporate Resource Services, Inc. Clarifies Change in Ticker Symbol

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- (Business Wire) – May 20, 2013 -- Corporate Resource Services, Inc. (OTCBB: CRRS), a diversified technology, staffing, recruiting, and consulting services firm,  today announced that its ticker symbol had been changed to OTCBB: CRRSE in error as a result of a miscalculation by the FINRA Operations Filing Department’s system with respect to the Company’s quarter-ending date. The Company expects its symbol to be restored to CRRS effective tomorrow, May 21, 2013 and reiterates that it is in compliance with its filing requirements.

As disclosed on Form 10-QT filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 11, 2013, effective January 14, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company determined to change the Company’s fiscal year from the Friday closest to September 30th to the Friday closest to December 31st.  The change was intended to align the Company’s fiscal periods more closely with the seasonality of its business and improve comparability with industry peers.  The Company’s fiscal quarters are the interim 13 week periods of the fiscal year, with the first quarter of a 53-week fiscal year extended to 14 weeks. Since the 2013 fiscal year will include 53 weeks, the Company’s first quarter was extended to 14 weeks and ended April 5, 2013.  The FINRA Operations Filing Department, which monitors timely filings with the SEC for all OTCBB companies, had mistakenly expected the quarter to end a week prior and therefore changed the symbol when a filing was not made last week. The Company will file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended April 5, 2013 later today.
