PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

First Rate Staffing Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), provides recruiting and staffing services for temporary positions in light industrial, distribution center, assembly, and clerical businesses.

The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in April 2011 as Moosewood Acquisition Corporation, a development stage company. In May 2012, the Company effected a change of control by issuing shares of common stock to new shareholders, redeeming shares of existing shareholders, electing new officers and directors and accepting the resignations of its then existing officers and directors. In connection with the change of control, the Company changed its name from Moosewood Acquisition Corporation to First Rate Staffing Corporation.

On November 9, 2012, the Company entered into merger agreements with each of First Rate Staffing, LLC, a California limited liability company (“First Rate California”), and First Rate Staffing, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“First Rate Nevada”), in separate mergers (collectively, and together, the “Mergers”) that were concurrently completed on November 13, 2012. Prior to the Mergers, First Rate California and First Rate Nevada were under common control of the same group of shareholders.

The mergers were effectuated by the Company through the exchange of (i) all of the outstanding membership interests of First Rate California for 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, and (ii) all of the outstanding shares of First Rate Nevada for 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Accordingly, a total of 4,000,000 shares were issued in the mergers.

First Rate California was formed in April 2010 in the State of California. Since its inception, First Rate California provided recruiting and staffing services for temporary positions in light industrial, distribution center, assembly, and clerical businesses to clients in California.

First Rate Nevada was formed in March 2010 in the State of Nevada and is registered to conduct business in the State of Arizona. Since its inception, First Rate Nevada has provided recruiting and staffing services for temporary positions in light industrial, distribution center, assembly, and clerical businesses to clients in Arizona.

Prior to the mergers, the Company had no ongoing business or operations and was established for the purpose of completing a business combination with a target company, such as First Rate California and First Rate Nevada. The Company, as the surviving entity from the Mergers, has taken over the respective operations and business plans of each of both First Rate California and First Rate Nevada.

On February 11, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase all the assets of Loyalty Staffing Services Inc. (“Loyalty”), a California corporation for an aggregate purchase price valued at $1,500,000 consisting of $100,000 in cash and $400,000 in note payable and 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at a price of $2 per share.

The agreement provided that:

(1) $100,000 of the cash portion of the purchase price shall be paid $50,000 within five business days of the release of certain Uniform Commercial Code liens and personal guarantees and an additional $50,000 sixty days from the date of such release.

(2) The Company shall execute a promissory note in favor of Loyalty for the remaining $400,000 with $75,000 payable six months after the closing date of the agreement (February 11, 2014) and $325,000 payable 30 months after such closing date.

Loyalty had the option of converting all or any part of the $400,000 balance into the Company's common stock at the then prevailing trading price or market value at the time of closing of the agreement or $2 per share. It has agreed to a reduction in the promissory note of an amount equal to 5% of $1,500,000 and a return of common stock of an amount equal to 2.5% of $1,500,000 for every reduction of $1,500,000 in annual revenues generated by the loss a client or clients acquired as part of the asset agreement within 12 months from the closing date.

The Company was in dispute with the seller of Loyalty concerning the terms of the cash portion and note payable portion of the payout in the original transaction described above. The Company reached a settlement agreement with the seller of Loyalty on June 24, 2015. In connection with the settlement agreement, the parties agreed to reduce the total aggregate cash and note payable portion of the purchase price from $500,000 to $425,000. Per the terms of the settlement agreement, the aggregate amount due of $425,000 is payable as follows; $125,000 is due upon signing of the agreement, and the remaining $300,000 is payable in 30 monthly installments of $10,000 starting in August 2015 through February 2018. The Company paid $125,000 in June 2015, and began paying the monthly installments of $10,000 beginning in August 2015 in connection with the agreement.

Loyalty is a light industrial and hospitality staffing company in business since 2008 servicing clients in the greater Los Angeles area. Loyalty services over 60 clients with approximately $6,000,000 to $7,000,000 in revenues. The Loyalty clients mirror the current client types of First Rate Staffing Corporation and management believes that the synergy between the two companies is extremely strong. The Company services clients in the Santa Fe Springs area of Los Angeles, along with Phoenix, Arizona. Loyalty services clients in the Torrance area of Los Angeles County. Management believes that the acquisition will greatly enhance the market presence of the Company in the greater Los Angeles area that the combination of the two entities will allow the Company to reduce overall expense through economies of scale and improve profitability.

Services

The Company provides recruiting and staffing services for temporary positions in light industrial, distribution center, assembly, and clerical businesses. The Company’s client customization model allows it to integrate its services to its client-specific needs and thereby providing clients with the highest level of customer service. The Company strives to devote adequate time and attention to understand both the needs of its clients and the capabilities of its employees so that the Company can identify the best suitable matches between client needs and employee abilities. The Company is dedicated to achieving a high level of service for all of its clients and considers itself to be a loyal partner to meeting client demands. In this regard, the Company seeks to position itself not only as a pool of employee for its clients, but also as a dedicated business partner that understands its clients’ businesses and needs.

Services provided to clients by the Company include recruiting, payroll, all state and federal taxes, worker’s compensation coverage, and screening and managing of clients’ contingent work force. The Company provides comprehensive screening and electronic verification (for federal employment eligibility requirements) for all employees. The Company also conducts reference checks of employees to ensure that the employers receive accurate and useful descriptions of employees’ backgrounds and experiences. The Company also operates a risk management department that helps client mitigate losses by implementing sound and effective risk management procedures at client sites. Clients receive these risk management services at no cost, helping them to reduce their own business risks and expenses.

The Company offers recruiting, human resources, workers’ compensation services, and risk management at no additional charge as part of the overall mark-up inclusive with the standard mark-up rate for temporary placement of employees. For example, a client may have a need for a certain number of temporary employees that fulfill a specific function. The Company recruits, screens, tests, and verifies employment eligibility for these individuals based on the requirements of the client. The Company also ensures that the employees are certified/licensed based on the equipment and facility that they will be operating within. The Company considers safety to be a very important priority since accidents directly impact workers’ compensation cost. Generally, workers’ compensation costs usually run from 6-10% of total costs. Risk management services, such as safety audits, certifications, and safety training, are typically provided at no additional charge (i.e. inclusive in the mark-up rate) to clients.

The Business: Staffing

The industry is divided into three major segments: temporary help services (about 50 percent of industry revenue), professional employer organizations (about 40 percent), and placement agencies (about 10 percent).

Temporary help services provide workers for customers for limited periods, often to substitute for absent permanent workers or to help during periods of peak demand. These workers, who are employees of the temporary help agency, will generally fill clerical, technical, or industrial positions.

Professional employer organizations (PEOs), sometimes known as employee leasing agencies, contract to provide workers to customers for specific functions, often related to human resource management. In many cases, customers’ employees are hired by a PEO and then leased back to the customer.

Placement agencies, sometimes referred to as executive recruiters or headhunters, find workers to fill permanent positions at customer companies. These agencies may specialize in placing senior managers, midlevel managers, technical workers, or clerical and other support workers.

The Company considers itself to be a temporary staffing company within the broader staffing industry. However, the Company does conduct permanent placements at the request of existing clients.

Staffing companies identify potential employees through advertising and referrals, and the companies interview, test, and counsel workers before sending them to the customer for approval. Pre-employment screening can include skills assessment, drug tests, and criminal background checks. Most staffing agencies provide some sort of training, often involving data entry and basic computer skills. The personnel staffing industry has been radically changed by the Internet. Many employers list available positions with one or several Internet personnel sites like monster.com or jobs.com, and on their own site. Personnel agencies operate their own sites and often still work as intermediaries by helping employers accurately describe job openings and screening candidates who submit applications.

Job growth drives demand for the personnel staffing industry. The profitability of individual companies depends on good marketing and availability of qualified employees. Large companies enjoy economies of scale in marketing and back-office operations. Small companies can compete successfully by specializing in an industry or a job function. The industry is labor-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is about $80,000.

To a great extent, clients follow the seasonal retail cycles but precede them by two to three months and two distinct “peak” seasons: (i) between August and October preceding Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas and (ii) between April and May preceding the summer season.

Major end-use customers include businesses from a wide range of industries. Nine out of ten large US businesses have used a staffing agency, according to the American Staffing Association. Wholesale, retail, and service industries are most likely to use temporary help services. Marketing involves direct sales presentations, referrals from existing clients, and advertising. Agencies compete both for customers and workers. Depending on market supply and demand at any given time, agencies may allocate more resources either to finding potential employers or potential workers. Permanent placement agencies work either on a retainer or a contingency basis, often 30 percent of annual salary. Clients may retain an agency for a specific job search or on contract for a specific period. Temporary help services charge customers a fixed price per hour or a standard markup on prevailing hourly rates. When a temporary employee is hired for a regular position within a company, the customer pays a fee.

Staffing companies are regulated by the United States Department of Labor (DOL) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and often by state authorities. These agencies regulate the relationship between the agency and the temporary employees, or employee candidates. Many federal anti-discrimination rules regulate the type of information that employment firms can request from candidates or provide to customers about candidates. PEOs are often considered co-employers along with the client, but the PEO is responsible for employee wages, taxes, and benefits. State regulation aims to ensure that PEOs provide the benefits they promise to workers.

Demand for personnel staffing services is strongest in areas with strong employment growth, and geographic location can determine an agency's success in attracting employees and employers. Customers generally prefer a staffing service that can provide workers for all of their office locations. Temporary employee candidates are often unwilling to relocate for a position.

The revenue of personnel agencies depends on the number of jobs they fill, which in turn depends on economic growth. During economic slowdowns, many client companies stop hiring altogether. In years of good economic growth, the number of jobs in the US economy grows approximately 2% annually. Internet employment sites expand a company's ability to find workers without the help of traditional agencies. Personnel agencies often work as intermediaries, helping employers accurately describe job openings and screen candidates. Increasing use of sophisticated, automated job description and candidate screening tools could make many traditional functions of personnel agencies obsolete. Free social networking sites such as LinkedIn and Facebook are also becoming a common way for recruiters and employees to connect without the assistance of a staffing agency.

To avoid large placement agency fees, big companies may use in-house personnel staff, current employee referrals, or human resources consulting companies to find and hire new personnel. Because placement agencies typically charge a fee based on a percentage of the first year's salary of a new worker, companies with many jobs to fill have a large financial incentive to avoid agencies.

However, temporary workers are becoming such a large factor at some companies that personnel agency staff sometimes work at the customer's site to recruit, train, and manage. Onsite training is designed to serve only that customer. Agencies try to match the best qualified employees for the customer's needs, but often provide additional training specific to that company, such as instruction in the use of proprietary software.

Most personnel agencies are small and may depend heavily on a few big customers for a large portion of revenue. Large customers may lead to increased revenues, but also expose agencies to higher risks. When major accounts experience financial hardships, and have less need for temporary employment services, agencies stand to lose large portions of revenue.

Startup costs for a personnel agency are very low. Individual offices can be highly profitable, but consolidation is driven mainly by the opportunity for large agencies to develop national relationships with big customers. Some agencies expand by starting new offices in promising markets, but most prefer to buy existing independent offices with proven staff and an existing customer roster.

The Market

Total Staffing and Recruiting sales in the US grew by 5.8% in 2014. 89% of that increase was in the temporary employment sector while the remaining 11% was for search and placement of employees.

In the U.S., there are now about 17,000 staffing and recruiting companies, which altogether operate around 35,000 offices and employ over 14 million employees. Of those, 15,000 are small (under $20 million in annual revenues) or what is referred to as “mom and pop” operations. This results in the Staffing industry being one of the most fragmented multi-billion dollar industries in the US.

As reported by the American Staffing Industry, the staffing industry, contributes nearly $130 billion to the U.S. economy through temporary and contract staffing, recruiting and permanent placement, outsourcing and outplacement, and human resource consulting.

The staffing, recruiting, and workforce solutions industry makes a vital contribution to the U.S. economy, and provides outstanding job and career opportunities for 14 million employees per year. Despite its size, and despite the staffing industry growth that has outpaced overall economic and employment growth, it employs only 2% of the U.S. nonfarm workforce.

Major staffing services providers include Adecco (headquartered in Switzerland), Randstad (the Netherlands), and Manpower (US). The US and Japan each account for about 20 percent of global revenue. The UK accounts for about 15 percent. There are about 70,000 private employment services agencies in the world, with the top 4 companies accounting for about 10% of the industry’s sales.

Major companies include ADP TotalSource, Insperity (formerly Administaff), Kelly Services, Manpower, and the US operations of Adecco. Global annual staffing revenues are over $400 billion for employment agencies for 2013, a 15.4% growth rate over 2012, according to CIETT (International Confederation of Private Employment Agencies). Total employment in the sector is estimated to be 36 million globally, with 11.5 full-time equivalent jobs.  There are 137,000 employment agencies across the world, with the top 10 firms representing 28% of revenue, and the top 3 firms at 18% of revenue, according to CIETT estimates. The forecast for temporary labor in 2016 is for continual growth in demand primarily as a result of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Many companies are anticipated to use temporary staffing companies due to the definition of fulltime employment changing from 40 to 30 hours.

The Company’s Presence in the Market

Currently, the Company operates in California (the greater Los Angeles area, Torrance, and Ontario) and Arizona (the greater Phoenix area), and most recently Reno, Nevada. The presence in CA and AZ regions is due partly from the previous experience of the Company and its officers in these marketplaces, but also because of the heavy focus these two metropolitan areas have on the Company’s particular specialty niche in staffing; light industrial.

In the past 18 months, the Company has seen the market trending upward with respect to its current client base, as well as the addition of Loyalty Staffing in Torrance California. This is evidenced in the number of clients, the billing amounts increasing, and their overall need for labor assistance increasing. According to the American Staffing Association, a leader in industry analysis, temporary labor experienced a total year over year increase of 7.2%.

Los Angeles mirrors the Phoenix market as the Company sees a majority of its business in the form of unloading and re-packaging of bulk quantity goods that arrive through the Port of Long Beach. These goods vary from food products to retail items. Many have seasonal increases but the Company has a mainstay of labor that is employed throughout the year. Several clients operate in both Los Angeles and Phoenix and the Company provides its services in both locations to these clients.

Customers

The Company has a diverse array of customers across sectors. Due to the competitive nature of the industry, client information is kept confidential. The company services the customers in the light industrial category.

Marketing and Sales

The Company has conducted limited advertising and marketing to date to reach new clients. To date, advertising and marketing has been centered on reaching potential employees. In all locations, the Company has used multiple resources to drive in potential new temporary employees. These tactics range from advertisements in newspapers, job boards, unemployment assist centers, as well as online advertisements. The Company also utilizes CareerBuilder to recruit for professional placements.

Registration Statement

The Company has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-1 pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 for the offer and sale of 1,600,000 shares of its common stock offered by the holders of such stock (“selling shareholders”). It is anticipated that the selling shareholders will offer their shares at a price of $2.00 per share.

The Company and the selling shareholders are seeking an underwriter, broker-dealer or selling agent to sell the shares. Neither the Company nor the selling shareholders have entered into any arrangements with any underwriter, broker-dealer or selling agent as of the date of this Report.

The Company will not receive any portion or percentage of any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling shareholders' Shares.

Employees

The Company presently has approximately 1,117 employees, consisting of approximately 1,065 employees in California, 23 employees in Arizona, and 29 employees in Nevada.

Most employees receive health benefits. The Company may offer additional fringe and welfare benefits in the future as the Company’s profits grow and/or the Company secures additional outside financing.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

As used in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation," except where the context otherwise requires, the term "we," "us," "our," "First Rate," or "the Company" refers to the business of First Rate Staffing Corporation.

Overview

The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in April 2011. Each of First Rate Staffing, LLC, a California limited liability company (“First Rate California”), and First Rate Staffing, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“First Rate Nevada”), merged into the Company in separate mergers (collectively, and together, the “Mergers”) that were concurrently completed in November 2012. References to the financial condition and performance of the Company below in this section “Management’s Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” are to First State California and First State Nevada, respectively.

On February 11, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the customer list of Loyalty Staffing Services (“Loyalty”), a California corporation.

The Company provides recruiting and staffing services for temporary positions in the light industrial, distribution center, assembly, and clerical areas to its clients in California and Arizona, with an option for the clients and candidates to choose the most beneficial working arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our financial statements. Those material accounting estimates that we believe are the most critical to an investor's understanding of our financial results and condition are discussed immediately below and are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates.

Accounts Receivable and Factoring

Accounts receivable are carried at the original amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering each customer's financial condition and credit history, as well as current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $29,824.

During 2012, the Company entered into a new accounts receivable factoring arrangement with a non-related third party financial institution (the “Factor”). Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, the Company, from time to time, shall sell to the Factor certain of its accounts receivable balances on a recourse basis for credit approved accounts. The Factor remits 90% of the accounts receivable balance to the Company, with the remaining balance, less fees, to be forwarded to the Company once the Factor collects the full accounts receivable balance from the customer. An administrative fee of 0.015% per diem is charged on the gross amount of accounts receivables assigned to Factor, plus interest to be calculated at 0.011806% per day. The total amount of accounts receivable factored was $4,180,834 and $1,824,376 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is derived from providing temporary staffing services to its clients. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of wages, related payroll taxes, workers compensation, and employee benefits of the Company’s employees while they work on contract assignment as temporary staff of the Company’s customers.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740. In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition for the Year Ended December 31, 2015 as Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2014

The following are the consolidated results of our operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014.

Revenues

Our revenues increased by $14,870,875, or 82.6%, during the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in revenues is due primarily to additional clients picked up towards the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2015. These new clients provided for additional revenue during 2015. In addition, the increase in revenues is also partially due to additional customers from the acquisition of Loyalty on February 11, 2014. As a result of the Loyalty acquisition, the revenues during 2015 reflect a full twelve months of additional revenue from the acquired customers, whereas the revenues from the same period in 2014 only reflects additional revenues generated from the additional Loyalty customers subsequent to the acquisition date of February 11, 2014.

Cost of revenues

Our cost of revenues, which represent primarily staffing salaries and workers compensation insurance costs, increased by $13,798,909, or 85.5%, during the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in cost of revenues is due to the increase in revenues for the period. The cost of revenues increased at a higher rate than the percentage increase in revenues due to an increase in the state and federal unemployment tax rates for our staffing employees as compared to the same period in 2014. We expect the cost of revenues to continue to increase as our revenues increase.

Operating expenses

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we had an impairment charge of $640,733 relating to the impairment of an intangible asset acquired from the purchase of Loyalty in 2014. This expense was a one-time loss that we do not expect to occur in the future.

General and administrative expenses increased by $1,027,343, or 64.0%, during the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in operating expenses in 2015 was due primarily to increased payroll costs associated with additional headcount added to manage the increase in our volume. In addition, we incurred an increase in professional fees during 2015 as a result of increased legal and accounting fees necessary to complete our registration statement, as well as attorney fees associated with the Loyalty settlement agreement. The increase in operating expenses in 2015 was also due to a full twelve months of higher expenses associated with increased payroll and other costs from the acquisition of Loyalty, whereas the operating expenses from the same period in 2014 only reflect additional operating expenses incurred subsequent to the purchase date of February 11, 2014.

Other income/expense

Other income/expense during the nine months ended December 31, 2015 included a $5,292 gain on the sale of property and equipment during the period, as well as a $75,000 gain resulting from the settlement agreement with the seller of Loyalty. These gains were offset by interest and other expense of $273,632, which represents interest expense on our outstanding notes payable, as well as financing charges from our factoring arrangements. During 2014, we had interest and other expenses of $185,255. Interest expense was higher during 2015 primarily due to an increase in accounts receivables factored during the period.

Notes Payable

The Company also owes an aggregate total of $250,000 to the seller of Loyalty, which is non-interest bearing and due in 30 monthly payment installments of $10,000 commencing August 2015 through January 2018.

The Company has a loan payable outstanding for the purchase of a vehicle. The balance outstanding as of December 31, 2015 amounted to $36,228, which is payable in monthly installments of $756 at an interest rate of 13% per annum over 72 months through August 2021.

In the past, we have borrowed monies from officers to find the operations of the Company. The Company does not anticipate that it will borrow monies from related parties in the future. Such earlier loans were required to fund certain non-recurring expenses, such as costs associated with filing its registration statement. In addition, as the Company obtained a new factoring/financing facility in 2012 which lowered its costs of capital, the Company expects to realize significant cost savings (and corresponding improvement to cash flow) from obtaining this new facility.

Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2015, we had cash of $565,040 and accounts receivable of $733,009. Our current assets of $1,298,049 exceed our current liabilities of $1,248,724 by $49,325.

The Company’s proposed expansion plans and business process improvements over the next two years will necessitate additional capital and financing. Accordingly, the Company plans to raise between $2 million and $4 million of outside funding in the next year, for the purposes of funding its own accounts receivable factoring company, establishing and operating its own worker’s compensation captive unit, and acquiring competitors and complementary service providers in its sector. Of this amount, the Company expects that it will need funding of $1.0 million to $1.5 million to achieve its expanded growth and profit objectives in its existing core business over the next two years.

The Company anticipates that it will require approximately $700,000 to $1.0 million to establish and fund its factoring facility. These amounts would be used to fund payroll and taxes up to the point that these amounts are collect from the client. Factoring internally would mean self-financing, resulting in a savings to the Company. No additional material or regulatory costs would be incurred at this point. If the Company were to offer factoring to other entities (i.e. outside of the Company) then Company would be subject to all the rules and regulations surrounding the operations of a finance company. Once the factoring entity is successfully set-up, the Company expects to realize ongoing savings from the reduced factoring costs.

The Company expects that establishing and funding its workers’ compensation captive will separately require funding of approximately $500,000 to $1.0 million, which will include a substantial deposit to establish the captive as a self-insured funding unit. The costs include a deposit needed of $500,000 or more, set-up costs of $50,000 to $60,000, and administrative fees of approximately $15,000 to $20,000 per year. Legal requirements for the formation of a captive vary by state. Currently, Hawaii and Nevada offer the most favorable requirements for establishing a captive for the Company. Any captive would still require catastrophic coverage beyond the normal coverage provided by the captive. There are numerous companies which provide direction and assistance for establishing a captive, and the Company would plan to engage such an advisory company. These companies are primarily responsible for ensuring that the captive meets the regulatory requirements initially and annually in the applicable state of formation. These advisors also assist in risk assessment, legal deposit requirements and claims administration. An impact on the Company’s current business from the captive would be the ability to retain the large deposit amounts required by insurance providers to remain in the control of the Company. As with the factoring entity, once the workers’ compensation captive is successfully set-up, the Company expects to realize ongoing savings from the reduced workers’ compensation costs.

There can be no assurance that the Company’s activities will generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations without additional capital, or if additional capital is needed, that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company. Accordingly, given the Company’s limited cash and cash equivalents on hand, the Company will be unable to implement its contemplated business plans and operations (including its goals of establishing a factoring entity and workers’ compensation captive) unless it obtains additional financing or otherwise is able to generate sufficient revenues and profits. The Company may raise additional capital through sales of debt or equity, obtain loan financing or develop and consummate other alternative financial plans.

The Company anticipates it will develop a budget for marketing activities consisting of two levels of marketing: client marketing and acquisition marketing. Client marketing costs are associated with sales staff with the single purpose to market to current and potential clients. Acquisition marketing costs are those incurred for investor relations, traveling, expenses for client acquisitions, and case by case joint marketing material for specific acquisitions as they occur.

Liquidity

To date, the Company has not suffered from a significant liquidity issue. The main liquidity issue was addressed when the Company entered into new factoring agreements that went into effect September 1, 2012 with TAB Bank, which provided for a $1,000,000 factor commitment. In addition, the Company may borrow from time to time as available, sources of funds from its officers and/or directors as needed

As the Company grows in size, the savings from this new factoring arrangement will continue to accrue and enhance the Company’s profitability and cash flow. Based on this budget and the projected operations of the Company, there are no currently anticipated liquidity issues which would pose a threat to the current business and operations of the Company.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $48,725 for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $884,793 for 2014. The significant change between the years was the result of increases during 2014 to accounts payable of $327,912 and other current liabilities of $359,487. As these amounts were paid during 2015, the net cash provided from operations was lower during 2015.

We had net cash flows used in investing activities during 2015 of $90,030, which consisted of $102,530 in payments for notes receivable lending, offset by $12,500 in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. We had no cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2014.

We had net cash used in financing activities of $180,893 during 2015 resulting from payments of $175,000 on the note payable due to the seller of Loyalty, $1,384 in payments on a car loan payable and $4,509 in payments on an outstanding note payable due to an officer. We had net cash used in financing activities of $151,598 during the year ended December 31, 2014 resulting from payments of our outstanding note payable due to an officer.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

First Rate Staffing Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of First Rate Staffing Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 financial statements referred to the above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Rate Staffing Corporation as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in the Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit from inception to December 31, 2015. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

FIRST RATE STAFFING CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

First Rate Staffing Corporation (“First Rate” or “the Company”), formerly known as Moosewood Acquisition Corporation (“Moosewood”) was incorporated on April 20, 2011 under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and include all the notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements.

Use of Estimates

In preparing these financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2015 or 2014. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to this concentration of risk. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had $315,040 and $537,238, respectively, of balances that exceeded the FDIC insurance limits.

Accounts Receivable and Factoring

Business Acquisitions

The Company has accounted for its business acquisitions in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 805, Business Combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price, if any, over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities, is recorded as goodwill.

Intangible Assets

The Company has intangible assets recorded as part of a business acquisition (see Note 6). Intangible assets with definite useful lives, representing customer relationships, are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 5 years using the straight-line method, which represents the economic benefit pattern of the intangible assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including intangibles, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that an asset may not be recoverable. The evaluation requires that assets be grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to their estimated fair value and such loss is recognized in income from continuing operations in the period in which the determination is made. The Company performed this impairment analysis of its intangible assets at December 31, 2015 and determined that the sum of the projected future cash flows was less than the carrying value of the intangible asset. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $640,733 to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as 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, based on the Company’s principal or, in the absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

GAAP provides for a three-level hierarchy of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, defined as follows:

•

Level 1 — Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity can access.

•

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, including:

–

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets

–

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active

–

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability

–

Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means

•

Level 3 — Inputs that are unobservable and reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances (e.g., internally derived assumptions surrounding the timing and amount of expected cash flows). The Company measured the fair value of its intangible assets using Level 3 inputs in estimating its future discounted cash flows to test for impairment as of December 31, 2015. The Company used an estimated discount rate of 10% which approximates the Company’s borrowing rate in performing the impairment test.

The Company has determined that the book value of its outstanding financial instruments as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 is the approximate fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. From time to time, the Company may maintain cash balances at certain institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. Historically, the Company has not experienced any losses on deposits.

The Company’s policy is to maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customer to pay. However, if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate rapidly, resulting in nonpayment, the Company could be required to provide for additional allowances, which would decrease operating results in the period that such determination was made.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is derived from providing temporary staffing services to its clients. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

The Company recognizes its revenue from temporary staffing services on a gross basis in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC 605-45 which outlines various factors or indicators that assist in determining whether revenue should be recognized on a gross or a net basis. In connection with this guidance, the Company believes the gross basis is appropriate, as the Company is the primary obligor in its arrangements and is responsible for fulfilling the services being provided to the individual customers and for compensating the individual service providers, regardless of whether the customer accepts the work.

Cost of Revenue

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share reflect per share amounts that would have resulted if diluted potential common stock had been converted to common stock. There have been no common stock equivalents included in the diluted earnings per share computation for the years ended December 31, 2015 or 2014 as there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.

Income Taxes

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 creates a new topic in the ASC Topic 606 and establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics, and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In addition, ASU 2014-09 adds a new Subtopic to the Codification, ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs: Contracts with Customers, to provide guidance on costs related to obtaining a contract with a customer and costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer that are not in the scope of another ASC Topic. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Early application is not permitted. Management is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements.

4. GOING CONCERN

The Company has an accumulated deficit of $770,443. This accumulated deficit is primarily the result of a non cash write off of an impaired asset of $640,733. The Company also has substantial expenses associated with being a public company.

The Company anticipates that it will require approximately $700,000 to $1.0 million to establish and fund its factoring facility. These amounts would be used to fund payroll and taxes up to the point that these amounts are collect from the client. Factoring internally would mean self-financing, resulting in a savings to the Company. No additional material or regulatory costs would be incurred at this point. Once the factoring entity is successfully set-up, the Company expects to realize ongoing savings from the reduced factoring costs.

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to develop profitable operations, and / or obtain additional financing from its shareholders and / or other third parties. In order to address the need to satisfy its continuing obligations and realize its long term strategy, management’s plans include continuing to fund operations with cash received from financing activities.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had utilized its Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL") available to offset future taxable income.

The Company periodically evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, and adjusts the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by the valuation allowance to the extent the future realization of the deferred tax assets is not judged to be more likely than not. Management considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of the Company's deferred tax assets, including its recent cumulative earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income or loss, the carryforward periods available to the Company for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors.

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, based on the weight of available evidence, management determined that it was unlikely that the Company's deferred tax assets would be realized and have provided for a full valuation allowance associated with the net deferred tax assets.

The Company periodically analyzes its tax positions taken and expected to be taken and has determined that since inception there has been no need to record a liability for uncertain tax positions. The Company classifies income tax penalties and interest, if any, as part of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. There was no accrued interest or penalties as of December 31, 2015 or 2014.

The Company is neither under examination by any taxing authority, nor has it been notified of any impending examination. The Company's tax years for its Federal and State jurisdictions which are currently open for examination are the years of 2011 - 2015.

Director Independence

Pursuant to Rule 4200 of The NASDAQ Stock Market one of the definitions of an independent director is a person other than an executive officer or employee of a company. The Company's board of directors has reviewed the materiality of any relationship that each of the directors has with the Company, either directly or indirectly. Based on this review, the board has determined that there are no independent directors.

Corporate Governance

The Company does not have a nominating nor audit committee of the board of directors. The board of directors consists of one director. At such time that the Company has a larger, board of directors and commences activities, the Company will propose creating committees of its board of directors, including both a nominating and an audit committee.

Conflicts of Interest

There are no binding guidelines or procedures for resolving potential conflicts of interest. Failure by management to resolve conflicts of interest in favor of the Company could result in liability of management to the Company. However, any attempt by shareholders to enforce a liability of management to the Company would most likely be prohibitively expensive and time consuming.

The officers noted above also received profits participation and earnings from their ownership interest in the equity of each of First Rate California and First Rate Nevada; as such profits participation and earnings represent returns to these officers by virtue of their equity ownership of these businesses, any such profits participation are not reflected in the table above.

As of December 31, 2015, there was no accrued compensation that was due to the Company’s employees or officers. Upon successful completion by the Company of a primary public offering in the future (or the completion of other financing or funding), however, the Company may compensate officers and employees as is discussed below in “Anticipated Officer and Director Remuneration.”

Each of the officers has received certain shares of common stock in the Company in connection with the change of control of the Company and/or the mergers. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any compensation expense in respect to any shares issued to the officers as such shares do not represent compensation that was paid to any officer.

There are no current plans to pay or distribute any cash or non-cash bonus compensation to officers of the Company, until such time as the Company is profitable, experiences positive cash flow or obtains additional financing. However, the Board of Directors may allocate salaries and benefits to the officers in its sole discretion. No officer is subject to a compensation plan or arrangement that results from his or her resignation, retirement, or any other termination of employment with the Company or from a change in control of the company or a change in his or her responsibilities following a change in control. The members of the Board of Directors may receive, if the Board so decides, a fixed fee and reimbursement of expenses, for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board, although no such program has been adopted to date. The Company currently has no retirement, pension, or profit-sharing plan covering its officers and directors; however, the Company plans to implement certain such benefits after sufficient funds are realized or raised by the Company (see “Anticipated Officer and Director Remuneration” below.)

Employment Agreements

The Company enters into and maintains customary employment agreements with each of its officers and employees. Each of the above officers are eligible for restricted stock option grants for meeting revenue growth goals. Starting with the year ending July 1, 2016, for each $5 million in new incremental annual revenue generated (through internal growth, acquisition, and/or merger), each of the officers will be eligible for an option grant of 100,000 options for each additional $5 million generated annually. The options would have an exercise price of $0.05 per share and are exercisable at the end of each measured periods. No options have been granted during the year ended December 31, 2015. The first eligible measurement period is the 12 months ended July 1, 2016.

Anticipated Officer and Director Remuneration

The Company pays reduced levels of compensation to its officers and director at present. The Company intends to pay regular, competitive annual salaries to all its officers and will pay an annual stipend to its directors when, and if, it completes a primary public offering for the sale of securities and/or the Company reaches greater profitability, experiences larger and more sustained positive cash flow and/or obtains additional funding. At such time, the Company anticipates offering additional cash and non-cash compensation to officers and directors. In addition, although not presently offered, the Company anticipates that its officers and directors will be provided with additional fringe benefits and perquisites at subsidizes rates, or at the sole expense of the Company, as may be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Company in its sole discretion. In addition, the Company may plan to offer 401(k) matching funds as a retirement benefit at a later time.
