STAFFING 360 SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(All amounts in thousands, except share, per share and stated value per share)

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Staffing 360,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 22, 2009, as Golden Fork Corporation, which changed its name to Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc., ticker symbol “STAF”, on March 16, 2012.

The Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split on September 17, 2015. Following the reverse split, the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock decreased from 45,732,674 to 4,573,360. All share and per share information in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.

 

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), expressed in U.S. dollars.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with the GAAP.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the transition period ended December 31, 2016 and for the years ended May 31, 2016 and 2015, which are included in the Company’s December 31, 2016 Form 10-KT, as amended, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2017. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the period ended April 1, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 30, 2017.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations for the next 12 months as of the date these financial statements are issued.    

 

In July 2016, the Company received an unfavorable ruling in the matter of Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. v. Former Officers of Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc., for which, as of the April 1, 2017, $1,649 has been accrued. The timing of payment for this loss is not yet known. It requires confirmation of the award by a Court, the date for which has not yet been set.

 

On January 26, 2017, the Company entered into a $7,400 financing transaction with Jackson Investment Group, LLC (“JIG”). The capital was used in part to pay short-term debt obligations. As of the date of these financial statements are issued, the Company has $4,619 associated with debt and other amortizing obligations, due in the next 12 months. The Company’s projected cash flows from operations include the assumption that the arbitration loss will be paid in the next 12 months, and are sufficient to address this and its other obligations in the normal course of business.

 

While management’s projected cash flows are forecasted to be sufficient to meet the Company’s obligations over the next 12 months, management believes it is prudent to continue its capital raising efforts in case its forecast is not achieved. Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital in the form of debt or equity, increased gross profit from organic revenue growth and managing and reducing operating and overhead costs.  

 

However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.  Management also cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next 12 months or thereafter will not increase the need for the Company to raise additional capital on an immediate basis. In addition, the Company has received a letter of support from a significant shareholder pertaining to the arbitration loss, whereby the shareholder has agreed to provide funds to the Company sufficient to settle the arbitration loss in full, in return for consideration as may be agreed.

(UNAUDITED)

 

However, based upon an evaluation of the Company’s continued growth trajectory, past success in raising capital and meetings its obligations as well as its plans for raising capital discussed above, management believes that the Company is a going concern.

 

Change of Year End

 

On February 28, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved the change of the Company’s fiscal year end from May 31 to a 52-53 week year ending on the Saturday closest to the 31st of December. In a 52 week fiscal year, each of the Company’s quarterly periods will comprise 13 weeks. In a 53 week fiscal year, one quarter will consist of 14 weeks. On April 12, 2017, the Company filed a transition report on Form 10-KT, as amended, covering the transition period June 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016. Annual reports on Form 10-K covering 52-53 week years will be filed thereafter. This filing includes comparative unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the period January 1, 2017 to April 1, 2017 and December 27, 2015 to March 26, 2016.

 

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period data to the current presentations. In accordance with ASU 2015-03, “Imputation of Interest – Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. These reclassifications had no impact on reported results of operations.

 

The Company has reclassified the Midcap Additional Term Loan from Long-term debt to Other long-term liabilities, as this represents  the long term portion of funds received from the Accounts receivable financing facility. These reclassifications had no impact on reported results of operations. Commencing in January 2017, the Company started paying down the Midcap Additional Term Loan and as such has $600 of the Midcap Additional Term Loan classified in Other current liabilities and remainder is classified in Other long term liabilities.

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate may change from period to period based on recurring and non-recurring factors including the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, state and local income taxes and tax audit settlements. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 16.3% and 42.9% for the period ended April 1, 2017 and March 26, 2016, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-08, “Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs”. The FASB is issuing this update to amend the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, the FASB is shortening the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. The amendments in this update modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. An entity no longer will determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The guidance is effective for annual periods fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business”. The amendments in this update is to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash”. The new guidance requires that the reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown in the statement of cash flows include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. If restricted cash is presented separately from cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, companies will be required to reconcile the amounts presented on the statement of cash flows to the amounts on the balance sheet. Companies will also need to disclose information about the nature of the restrictions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Stock Compensation”, regarding the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is to be applied for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires companies to apply the requirements retrospectively, modified retrospectively, or prospectively depending on the amendment(s) applied. The adoption of this standard had no material financial impact.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). This guidance will be effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 including the interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Under the new provisions, all lessees will report a right-of-use asset and a liability for the obligation to make payments for all leases with the exception of those leases with a term of 12 months or less. All other leases will fall into one of two categories: (i) Financing leases, similar to capital leases, which will require the recognition of an asset and liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments and (ii) Operating leases which will require the recognition of an asset and liability measured at the present value of the lease payments. Lessor accounting remains substantially unchanged with the exception that no leases entered into after the effective date will be classified as leveraged leases. For sale leaseback transactions, the sale will only be recognized if the criteria in the new revenue recognition standard are met. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which amends the guidance relating to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for sale debt securities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement–Period Adjustments”. Changes to the accounting for measurement-period adjustments relate to business combinations. Currently, an acquiring entity is required to retrospectively adjust the balance sheet amounts of the acquiree recognized at the acquisition date with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill as a result of changes made to the balance sheet amounts of the acquiree. The measurement period is the period after the acquisition date during which the acquirer may adjust the balance sheet amounts recognized for a business combination (generally up to one year from the date of acquisition). The changes eliminate the requirement to make such retrospective adjustments, and, instead

require the acquiring entity to record these adjustments in the reporting period they are determined. The new standard is effective for both public and private companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements of FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance throughout the ASC, resulting in the creation of FASB ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU provides alternative methods of adoption. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Deferral of the Effective Date”. ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Principal versus Agent Considerations” (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) clarifying the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. Specifically, an entity is required to determine whether the nature of a promise is to provide the specified good or service itself (that is, the entity is a principal) or to arrange for the good or service to be provided to the customer by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). The determination influences the timing and amount of revenue recognition. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”, clarifying the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing. The amendments in this ASU clarify the two following aspects (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-10 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-10 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

 

NOTE 3 – LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The Company utilizes the guidance per ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”.  Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during each period. Our Series A preferred stock holders receive certain dividends or dividend equivalents that are considered participating securities and our earnings (loss) per share is computed using the two-class method. For the period ended April 1, 2017 and March 26, 2016, pursuant to the two-class method, as a result of the net loss, losses were not allocated to the participating securities.

Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common stock shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock share equivalents consist of common shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock, convertible notes and the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified treasury stock method).  Such securities, shown below, presented on a common share equivalent basis and outstanding as of April 1, 2017 and March 26, 2016 have been excluded from the per share computations, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

Convertible preferred shares include the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock which contains both a fixed and variable conversion feature that fluctuates with the Company’s stock price. In addition, other restrictions prevent the holders from converting all of the Series D Preferred Stock at the same time. As a result, it is difficult to estimate the exact amount of shares of common stock the Series D Preferred Stock could be converted into at any time. As a result, only the fixed portion of the conversion features are included in the

8% Convertible Note (July 8, 2015) and 8% Convertible Note (February 8, 2016)

On January 3, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment agreement pursuant to which, the parties refinanced an aggregate amount of $2,688 of indebtedness and extended all amortization payments for the two 8% convertible notes dated July 8, 2015 and February 8, 2016 (collectively, the “Amendment”) to October 1, 2018, which was approximately 21 months from the date of the refinancing.

 

The Amendment had a new face value of $3,126, and an 8% interest rate, with no interest payments due until October 1, 2017, payable quarterly thereafter, and an overall term of 21 months with principal due at maturity. The Amendment was convertible into shares of common stock at a price of $3.00 per share at holder’s election, and the holder agreed to eliminate the 20% pre-payment penalty for an early redemption. In connection with the refinancing, the Company issued the holder 600,000 shares of common stock, valued at $498. The Amendment resulted in the extinguishment of the old notes of $2,688 and recording of the new debt and debt issue costs. The Company recorded a $870 loss upon extinguishment. On January 26, 2017, the Amendment was paid in full resulting a loss of $498.

Jackson Investment Group Term Loan

On January 26, 2017, the Company entered into a note and warrant purchase agreement with JIG for $7,400. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company issued to JIG 1,650,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase up to 3,150,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $1.35 per share (the “Warrant”). The note accrues interest on the principal amount at a rate of 6% per annum and has a maturity date of July 25, 2018. No interest or principal is payable until maturity. At any time during the term of the note, upon notice to JIG, the Company may also, at its option, redeem all or some of the then outstanding principal amount of the note by paying to JIG an amount not less than $100 of the outstanding principal (and in multiples of $100), plus any accrued but unpaid interest and liquidated damages and other amounts due under the note. The note’s principal is not convertible into shares of common stock; however 50% of the accrued interest on the note may be converted into shares of common stock, at the sole election of JIG at maturity or upon prepayment by the Company, at a conversion price equal to $2.00 per share. On March 14, 2017, the Company and JIG amended the warrant to include a blocker preventing JIG from owning more than 19.99% of the Company’s shares outstanding as of January 26, 2017, until the such ownership is approved by the shareholders consistent with Nasdaq Rule 5635(b).

 

The warrant is exercisable beginning on July 25, 2017 for a term of four and a half (4.5) years thereafter. The exercise price is subject to anti-dilution protection, including protection in circumstances where common stock is issued pursuant to the terms of certain existing convertible securities, provided that the exercise price shall not be adjusted below a price that is less than the consolidated closing bid price of the common stock.

 

On April 5, 2017, the Company amended the note and warrant purchase agreement with JIG and entered into a second subordinated secured note with JIG for $1,650. Under the terms of this amended agreement, the Company issued to JIG 296,984 shares of common stock, with an additional 370,921 shares of common stock to be issued upon shareholder approval of the issuance of shares to JIG in excess of the 19.99% limit. Also on April 5, 2017, the Company amended the Warrant to allow JIG to purchase up to an additional

825,463 shares of common stock, modified the initial exercise price of the Warrant to $1.00 per share and modified the conversion price of accrued interest on the note issued to JIG in January 2017 to $1.50. The Warrant was also amended to increase the amount of common stock issuable to JIG pursuant to the anti-dilution clause contained therein. The second note accrues interest on the principal amount at a rate of 6% per annum and has a maturity date of June 8, 2019; however, in the event the Company satisfies all of its outstanding obligations with Midcap Financial Trust, the maturity date will be adjusted to July 25, 2018. No interest or principal is payable on the second note until maturity. At any time during the term of the second note, upon notice to JIG, the Company may also, at its option, redeem all or some of the then outstanding principal amount of the note by paying to JIG an amount not less than $100 of the outstanding principal (and in multiples of $100), plus any accrued but unpaid interest and liquidated damages and other amounts due under the note. The second note’s principal is not convertible into shares of common stock; however, 50% of the accrued interest on the second note can be converted into shares of common stock, at the sole election of JIG at maturity or in the event of a prepayment by the Company, at a conversion price equal to $1.50 per share. The proceeds of this transaction were used to redeem the remaining shares and conversion rights of the Series D Preferred Stock.

Midcap Financial Trust – Term Loan

During the period ended April 1, 2017 and March 26, 2016, the Company paid $300 and $125 in principal, respectively.  

ABN AMRO Term Loan

On April 5, 2017, the Company amended the Warrant and entered into a second subordinated secured note with JIG for $1,650. Under the terms of the amended Warrant, JIG may purchase up to an additional 825,463 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. The Warrant was amended to increase the amount of common stock issuable to JIG pursuant to the anti-dilution clause contained therein, and to adjust the initial exercise price to $1.00 per share.

 

Stock Options

On October 25, 2016, our Board adopted the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) to, among other things, attract and retain the best available personnel, to provide additional incentive to employees, directors and consultants and to promote the success of the Company’s business. On January 26, 2017, our stockholders approved the 2016 Plan, pursuant to which 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock will be reserved for issuance under stock and stock option awards. During the period ended April 1, 2017 the Company issued to employees and consultants, 838,300 shares and 313,500 options, with an exercise price of $1.35 per share to purchase shares of common stock, and therefore has 1,348,200 remaining under this plan. The fair value of stock options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company used the following assumptions for determining the fair value of options granted under the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Earn-out Liabilities and Stock Value Guarantees

 

Pursuant to the acquisition of Control Solutions International, Inc. (“CSI”), the purchase price includes monthly cash payments to the former owners and shareholders of CSI for performance-based compensation equal to 20% of CSI’s consolidated gross profit from the date of closing through the end of the sixteenth quarter following the date of closing not to exceed a total of $2,100. During the period ended April 1, 2017 and March 26, 2016, the Company paid $23 and $29, respectively, towards the earn-out liability. At April 1, 2017, the remaining balance was $1,298 of which approximately $105 is recorded in other current liabilities and $1,193 is recorded in other long-term liabilities.

 

Pursuant to the acquisition of The JM Group, the purchase price includes a cash payment to the shareholders for performance-based compensation of (a) £850 if the gross profit for the 12 month period ending on the anniversary date of the date of completion (the “Anniversary TTM Gross Profit”) is equal to 90% or more of the gross profit for the twelve months ending October 31, 2015 (the “Completion TTM Gross Profit”); or (b) if the Anniversary TTM Gross Profit is less than 90% of the Completion TTM Gross Profit, a sum equal to £850 multiplied by the Anniversary TTM Gross Profit/Completion TTM Gross Profit. The Company recorded the maximum contingent liability amount of £850 ($1,180). At December 31, 2016, the remaining balance was $1,026 and was recorded in other current liabilities. While unpaid, the balance accrued interest at 10.25% per annum. The balance was paid in full in January 2017.

Legal Proceedings 

NewCSI, Inc. vs. Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc.

On May 22, 2014, NewCSI, Inc. (“NewCSI”), the former owners of Control Solutions International, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, against the Company arising from the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 14, 2013 between the Company and NewCSI. NewCSI claims that the Company breached a provision of the Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA § 2.7”) that required the Company to calculate and pay to NewCSI 50% of certain “Deferred Tax Assets” within 90 days after December 31, 2013, subject to certain criteria. The Complaint sought payment of the amount allegedly owed under SPA § 2.7 and acceleration of earn-out payments provided for in the Stock Purchase Agreement of $1,400, less amounts paid to date, and attorneys’ fees. The Company responded denying the material allegations and interposing numerous affirmative defenses. On October 8, 2014, NewCSI filed a Motion of Summary Judgment (the “Motion”). On March 30, 2015, a Magistrate Judge of the District Court issued a Report and Recommendation that the District Court deny the Motion. The Recommendation became a final decision on April 13, 2015.

 

On December 31, 2014, NewCSI filed an amended complaint to which NewCSI added an additional count asserting an “Adjustment Event” had occurred requiring an acceleration of earn-out payments provided for in the CSI Stock Purchase Agreement of $2,100, less amounts paid as of December 31, 2014 totaling $429 (balance of $1,671 at December 31, 2014), should the Company or CSI “be unable, or admit in writing its inability, to pay its debts as they mature.” The Company responded denying the material allegations and interposing numerous affirmative defenses, including that the earn-out liability was fully expensed at the time of the acquisition and fully accrued for on the Company’s balance sheet as part of the purchase accounting at the time of the acquisition. The final pretrial conference in this matter was held April 22, 2015. A jury was selected on May 14, 2015, and the trial was held May 18-20, 2015. On May 20, 2015, the jury rendered a verdict, finding that the Company had not complied with SPA § 2.7 and owed $154, but that NewCSI had not proven that the Company or CSI had become unable to pay debts as they came due. The Court had held that it was not a question for the jury to decide if damages for breach of SPA § 2.7 should include accelerated earn-out payments.

 

On June 3, 2015, NewCSI filed a Motion for Entry of Judgment as Matter of Law seeking entry of a judgment in the amount of $154, plus accelerated earn-out payments in the amount of $1,152, plus statutory interest. NewCSI did not challenge the jury verdict on the ability to pay issue. Also on June 3, 2015, the Company filed a Motion for Entry of Judgment as a Matter of Law seeking entry of judgment against NewCSI on the jury’s finding that the Company had not complied with SPA § 2.7, or, in the alternative, for a reduction of damages to $154 and to hold that NewCSI may not be awarded accelerated earn-out payments as that would result in an illegal penalty.

 

On October 21, 2015, judgment was entered in this action in favor of NewCSI and against the Company in the amount of $1,307, plus pre-judgment interest, post-judgment interest, and costs. On January 26, 2016, the District Court set the bond in respect of the NewCSI litigation at $1,384. The Company has filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit seeking reversal of the judgment and posted a supersedeas bond to stay the execution of the judgment pending appeal. On April 18, 2016, the Court granted the NewCSI shareholders’ request for payment of attorneys’ fees, but reserved judgment on the amount of fees to award pending the outcome of the Company’s appeal. As of January 2016, the NewCSI shareholders have claimed they have incurred $552 in attorney’s fees, which could increase during the pendency of the appeal. On November 3, 2016, oral arguments for the appeal were heard and now the Company is awaiting further instruction from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

 

We believe that the Company acted in a manner consistent with our contractual rights, and we intend to aggressively defend the Company against NewCSI. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the outcome of this litigation will be favorable to the Company.

Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. v. Former Officers of Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc.

On November 13, 2015, in a separate proceeding, Staffing 360 initiated an arbitration before JAMS against three officers of Staffing 360, each a former Staffing 360 officer and employee.  In its demand for arbitration and statement of claim, Staffing 360 alleged that these individuals breached their employment agreements with Staffing 360 and the fiduciary duties each owed to the Company.  The three respondents responded with a counterclaim alleging wrongful termination and have moved to dismiss the arbitration, as well as moved for severance in relation to the remainder of their contracts. On July 20, 2016, the arbitrator decided in favor of both of the respondents’ motions.  Further on September 21, 2016 the arbitrator rendered the final award, which was set at $1,433. The Company is awaiting an order from the Court confirming the award. In addition, the Company has calculated interest and made a payment towards legal fees included in the final award amount. As of April 1, 2017, the balance is $1,649. This amount has already been fully accrued for and expensed.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including, but not limited to, statements about our plans, strategies, adequacy of resources and future financial results (such as revenue, gross profit, operating profit, cash flow), are forward-looking statements. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “can,” “could,” “should,” “intends,” “project,” “predict,” “plans,” “estimates,” “goal,” “target,” “possible,” “potential,” “would,” “seek,” and similar references to future periods. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Because these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: negative outcome of pending and future claims and litigation; our ability to access the capital markets by pursuing additional debt and equity financing to fund our business plan and expenses on terms acceptable to us or at all; and our ability to comply with our contractual covenants, including in respect of our debt; potential cost overruns and possible rejection of our business model and/or sales methods; weakness in general economic conditions and levels of capital spending by customers in the industries we serve; weakness or volatility in the financial and capital markets, which may result in the postponement or cancellation of our customers' capital projects or the inability of our customers to pay our fees; delays or reductions in U.S. government spending; credit risks associated with our customers; competitive market pressures; the availability and cost of qualified labor; our level of success in attracting, training and retaining qualified management personnel and other staff employees; changes in tax laws and other government regulations, including the impact of health care reform laws and regulations; the possibility of incurring liability for our business activities, including, but not limited to, the activities of our temporary employees; our performance on customer contracts; and government policies, legislation or judicial decisions adverse to our businesses. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. We recommend readers to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), particularly our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Overview

As a rapidly growing public company in the international staffing sector, our high-growth business model is based on finding and acquiring suitable, mature, profitable, operating, U.S. and U.K. based staffing companies. Our targeted consolidation model is focused specifically on the accounting and finance, information technology (“IT”), engineering, administration (the “Professional Sector”) and light industrial (the “Light Industrial Sector”) disciplines.

Business Model, Operating History and Acquisitions

Our business plan is to expand and grow through acquisition, which may require additional financing, while continuing to supplement this with organic growth. The Company generated revenue of $109.4 million, $165.6 million, $128.8 million and $41.2 million for the transition period ended December 31, 2016 (“Transition Period”) and fiscal years ended May 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This growth has been achieved primarily through acquisitions, while operations continued to grow organically 11.1% during the Transition Period and, on average, grew 8.8% between the fiscal years ended May, 31 2014 and 2016.

As part of our consolidation model, we pursue a broad spectrum of staffing companies supporting primarily the Professional and Light Industrial Sectors. Our typical acquisition model is based on paying consideration in the form of cash, stock, earn-outs and/or promissory notes. In furthering our business model, the Company is regularly in discussions and negotiations with various suitable, mature acquisition targets.

Revenue

For the period ended April 1, 2017, revenue fell 5.7% to $40,712 as compared to $43,160 for the period ended March 26, 2016. Of that decline, 2.3% ($1,003) was from foreign currency translation, with the remaining 3.4% largely attributable to fewer working days in the northeastern United States when compared to the corresponding period in the previous year as a result of weather related work stoppages and a reduction in demand from one of our largest clients.

Direct cost of revenue

Direct cost of services includes the variable cost of labor and various non-variable costs (e.g., insurance) relating to employees (temporary and permanent) as well as sub-contractors and consultants. For the period ended April 1, 2017 and the period March 26, 2016, direct cost of revenue was $33,386 and $35,934, respectively, or a decline of 7.1%, compared to a decline in revenue of 5.7%, and is further discussed in the gross profit and gross margin comments below.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit for the period ended April 1, 2017 and the period March 26, 2016 was $7,326 and $7,226, respectively, representing gross margin of 18.0% and 16.7% for each period, respectively. The increase in margin is primarily attributable stronger margins in both the Light Industrial and Professional segments, as well as savings on workers compensation and lower payroll costs.

Operating expenses

For the period ended April 1, 2017, operating expenses amounted to $8,387 as compared to $8,369 for the period March 26, 2016, an increase of 0.2%.  As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses increased from 19.4% of revenue to 20.6% of revenue, mainly due to the decline in revenue and the fixed nature of most expenses.

However, cash operating expenses, defined as Total operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization as well as other non-cash charges, declined from $7,185 to $6,870 for the periods ended March 26, 2016 and April 1, 2017, respectively.  

Other Expenses

For the periods ended April 1, 2017 and March 26, 2016, Other Expenses primarily includes interest and financing expense of $2,389 (of which $1,368 relates to non-cash charges for the re-financing and retirement of the 8% convertible notes) and $1,256, respectively, other expense (income) of $(7) and $(14), respectively, and other restructuring costs totaling $0 and $5, respectively. The restructuring charges incurred during 2016 were residual charges resulting from the Company’s implementation of its Restructuring Plan during 2015.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we also use non-GAAP financial measures and Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) in addition to our GAAP results. We believe non-GAAP financial measures and KPIs may provide useful information for evaluating our cash operating performance, ability to service debt, compliance with debt covenants and measurement against competitors. This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.

We present the following non-GAAP financial measure and KPIs in this report:

Revenue and Gross Profit by Sector We use this KPI to measure the Company’s mix of Revenue and respective profitability between its two main lines of business due to their differing margins. For clarity, these lines of business are not the Company’s operating segments, as this information is not currently regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to allocate capital and resources. Rather, we use this KPI to benchmark the Company against the industry.

The increase in Light Industrial revenue as a percentage of total revenue from 49% for the period ended March 26, 2016 to 55% for the period ended April 1, 2017 was primarily attributable to organic growth of 5.0% in that segment.  Professional revenue as a percentage of total revenue declined from 51% for the period ended March 26, 2016 to 45% for the period ended April 1, 2017, as a percentage of total revenue.  Of the decline in this segment, $1,003 was currency related, with the remaining $2,512 resulting from fewer work days due to weather related work stoppages and organic decline in some business units.

 

Gross margin for the Light Industrial segment increased from 14.2% for the period ended March 26, 2016 to 15.8% for the period ended April 1, 2017.  The increase was attributable to changes in client mix and pricing, as well as savings on workers’ compensation costs and lower payroll costs.

 

Gross margin for the Professional segment increased from 19.2% in the period ended March 26, 2016 to 20.6% for the period ended April 1, 2017.  The increase was primarily attributable to savings in workers’ compensation and lower payroll costs.

Adjusted EBITDA This measure is defined as net loss attributable to common stock before: interest expense, benefit from (provision for) income taxes; income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax; other (income) expense, net, in operating income (loss); amortization and impairment of identifiable intangible assets; impairment of goodwill; depreciation; operational restructuring and other charges; other income (expense), net, below operating income (loss); non-cash expenses associated with stock compensation; and charges the Company considers to be non-recurring in nature such as legal expenses associated with litigation, professional fees associated potential and completed acquisitions. We use this measure because we believe it provides a more meaningful understanding of the profit and cash flow generation of the Company.

Adjusted operating expenses are defined as the operating expenses of the Company included in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA for the period ended April 1, 2017 of $1,038, a 45.8% increase from $712 for the period ended March 26, 2016. This growth is attributable to increased gross profit, as described in earlier sections, and focused management of Adjusted operating expenses.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for these periods result in trailing 12 months (“TTM”) Adjusted EBITDA of $5,389 as of April 1, 2017, an increase of 57.4% as compared with $3,392 for the comparable TTM period.

Operating Leverage This measure is calculated by dividing the growth in Adjusted EBITDA by the growth in Gross Profit, on a trailing 12-month basis. We use this KPI because we believe it provides a measure of the Company’s efficiency for converting incremental gross profit into Adjusted EBITDA.

Operating Cash Flow Including Proceeds from Accounts Receivable Financing calculated as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities plus net proceeds from accounts receivable financing.  Because much of the Company’s temporary payroll expense is paid weekly and in advance of clients remitting payment for invoices, operating cash flow is often weaker in staffing companies where revenue and accounts receivable are growing.  Accounts receivable financing is essentially an advance on client remittances and is primarily used to fund temporary payroll.  As such, we believe this measure is helpful to investors as an indicator of the Company’s underlying operating cash flow.

During the period ended April 1, 2017, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from Jackson Investment Group, LLC to pay accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The Leverage Ratio and Operating Cash Flow Including Proceeds from Accounts Receivable Financing should be considered together with the information in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section, immediately below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Historically, we have funded our operations through promissory notes, bonds, convertible notes, private placement offerings.

Our primary uses of cash have been for professional fees related to our operations and financial reporting requirements and for the payment of compensation, benefits and consulting fees. The following trends may occur as the Company continues to execute on its strategy:

 

An increase in working capital requirements to finance targeted acquisitions,

 

Addition of administrative and sales personnel as the business grows,

 

Increases in advertising, public relations and sales promotions for existing and new brands as we expand within existing markets or enter new markets,

 

A continuation of the costs associated with being a public company, and

 

Capital expenditures to add technologies.

As a result of our recent financings, we believe that we will be able to fund our operations, implement our business plan and pursue the acquisition of a broad spectrum of staffing companies through the next 12 months. However, we will need to raise additional capital to pursue growth opportunities, improve our infrastructure and otherwise make investments in assets and personnel that will allow us to remain competitive. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a potential downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock.

Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by the significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations could significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and increase the use of resources.

As of April 1, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $12,898, an accumulated deficit of $51,351, for the period ended April 1, 2017, a net loss of $3,453, and, as of the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, the Company has approximately $4,619 associated with debt and other amortizing obligations, due in the next 12 months.

The amounts due discussed above, are a subset of the Company’s total gross debt obligations as of April 1, 2017 of $12,485, as compared with $9,010 as of the Company’s most recent period ended December 31, 2016. Those balances are comprised of various instruments that can be summarized as follows:

These obligations mature over the period between April 2017 and April 2019, with interest being paid primarily at the same time principal is paid.

Other significant obligations of the Company as of April 1, 2017 not classified as debt are:

 

A loan from Midcap Financial Trust X in the amount of $1,200 associated with the Company’s accounts receivable revolving credit facility. The balance originally matured in full in April 2019. However, in January 2017, in connection with the financing from Jackson Investment Group, LLC (see below), that obligation was amended such that it would amortize $50 per month beginning in February 2017. In addition, in the event the Company raises cumulative capital in the amount of $2,500, the Company must make a lump-sum principal payment in the amount of $500, and a further $500 if the Company raises cumulative capital in the amount of $4,000;

 

An earn-out liability associated with the Company’s acquisition of CSI in the amount of $1,298. As this balance is currently in dispute (see NewCSI, Inc. vs. Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. in Legal Proceedings), the Company has a surety bond posted in the amount of $1,405 to fund the balance, while the case is ongoing, in the event the Company loses its appeal. Payments continue to be made monthly in the amount of 20% of CSI’s consolidated gross profit;

 

A liability to former officers of the Company (see Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. v. Former Officers of Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. in Legal Proceedings) in the amount of $1,649 including accrued interest. Until paid, the balance accrues interest of 9% per annum. The Company is awaiting an order from the Court confirming the award. Until then, the timing of paying this liability is not yet known but has been classified within Other Current Liabilities.

In January 2017, the Company entered into an amendment agreement in which, the parties refinanced an aggregate amount of $2,708 million of notes and extended all amortization payments (collectively “the Amendment”) to October 1, 2018. The new gross balance of the remaining note was $3,126.  The Amendment had an 8% interest rate, with no interest payments due until October 1, 2017, payable quarterly thereafter, and an overall term of 21 months with principal due at maturity. The Amendment was convertible into shares of common stock at a price of $3.00 per share at holder’s election, and the holder has agreed to eliminate the 20% pre-payment penalty for an early redemption.  In connection with the refinancing, the Company issued the holder 600,000 shares of common stock. Later in January 2017, the amended note was paid in full.

In addition, in January 2017, the Company closed a financing with Jackson Investment Group, LLC (“JIG”) in the amount of $7,400 million. The financing is a term loan, maturing in July 2018 and carries interest at 6%. No interest or principal is due until maturity. In connection with the transaction, JIG received 1,650,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase up to 3,150,000 shares of common stock (the “Warrant”), exercisable for five years, with an initial cash exercise price of $1.35. At JIG’s election, 50% of accrued interest paid or payable on the note may be converted into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.00.

In connection with the JIG financing, in addition to paying $3,126 to satisfy the Company’s obligation under the note issued in connection with the Amendment, the Company satisfied in full the earn-out liability associated with the Company’s acquisition of The JM Group of $1,026 and related interest, as well as approximately, $562 of debt obligations that were due in January 2017.

In April 2017, the Company amended the note and warrant purchase agreement with JIG and entered into a second subordinated secured note with JIG for $1,650. Under the terms of this amended agreement, the Company issued to JIG 296,984 shares of common stock, with an additional 370,921 shares of common stock to be issued upon shareholder approval of the issuance of shares to JIG in excess of the 19.99% limit. Also on April 5, 2017, the Company amended the Warrant to allow JIG to purchase up to an additional 825,463 shares of common stock, modified the initial exercise price of the Warrant to $1.00 per share and modified the conversion price of accrued interest on note issued to JIG in January 2017 to $1.50. The Warrant was also amended to increase the amount of common stock issuable to JIG pursuant to the anti-dilution clause contained therein. The second note accrues interest on the principal amount at a rate of 6% per annum and has a maturity date of June 8, 2019; however, in the event the Company satisfies all of its outstanding obligations with Midcap Financial Trust, the maturity date will be adjusted to July 25, 2018. No interest or principal is payable until maturity. At any time during the term of the second note, upon notice to JIG, the Company may also, at its option, redeem all or some of the then outstanding principal amount of the second note by paying to JIG an amount not less than $100 of the outstanding principal (and in multiples of $100), plus any accrued but unpaid interest and liquidated damages and other amounts due under the note. The second note’s principal is not convertible into shares of common stock; however, 50% of the accrued interest on the second note may be converted into shares of common stock, at the sole election of JIG at maturity or in the event of a prepayment by the Company, at a conversion price equal to $1.50 per share. The proceeds of this transaction were used to redeem the remaining shares and conversion rights of the Series D Preferred Stock.

While management’s projected cash flows are forecasted to be sufficient to meet the Company’s obligations over the next 12 months, management believes it is prudent to continue its capital raising efforts in case its forecast is not achieved. Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital in the form of debt or equity, increased gross profit from organic revenue growth and managing and reducing operating and overhead costs

However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.  Management also cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter will not increase the need for the Company to raise additional capital on an immediate basis. In addition, the Company has received a letter of support from a significant shareholder pertaining to the arbitration loss, whereby the shareholder has agreed to provide funds to the Company sufficient to settle the arbitration loss in full, in return for consideration as may be agreed.

However, based upon an evaluation of the Company’s continued growth trajectory, past success in raising capital and meetings its obligations as well as its plans for raising capital discussed above, management believes that the Company is a going concern.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-08, “Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs”. The Board is issuing this update to amend the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, the Board is shortening the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. The amendments in this update modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. An entity no longer will determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The guidance is effective for annual periods fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business”. The amendments in this update is to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash”. The new guidance requires that the reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown in the statement of cash flows include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. If restricted cash is presented separately from cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, companies will be required to reconcile the amounts presented on the statement of cash flows to the amounts on the balance sheet. Companies will also need to disclose information about the nature of the restrictions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Stock Compensation”, regarding the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is to be applied for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires companies to apply the requirements retrospectively, modified retrospectively, or prospectively depending on the amendment(s) applied. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. The adoption of this standard had no material financial impact.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). This guidance will be effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 including the interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Under the new provisions, all lessees will report a right-of-use asset and a liability for the obligation to make payments for all leases with the exception of those leases with a term of 12 months or less. All other leases will fall into one of two categories: (i) Financing leases, similar to capital leases, which will require the recognition of an asset and liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments and (ii) Operating leases which will require the recognition of an asset and liability measured at the present value of the lease payments. Lessor accounting remains substantially unchanged with the exception that no leases entered into after the effective date will be classified as leveraged leases. For sale leaseback transactions, the sale will only be recognized if the criteria in the new revenue recognition standard are met. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which amends the guidance relating to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for sale debt securities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement–Period Adjustments”. Changes to the accounting for measurement-period adjustments relate to business combinations. Currently, an acquiring entity is required to retrospectively adjust the balance sheet amounts of the acquiree recognized at the acquisition date with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill as a result of changes made to the balance sheet amounts of the acquiree. The measurement period is the period after the acquisition date during which the acquirer may adjust the balance sheet amounts recognized for a business combination (generally up to one year from the date of acquisition). The changes eliminate the requirement to make such retrospective adjustments, and, instead require the acquiring entity to record these adjustments in the reporting period they are determined. The new standard is effective for both public and private companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements of FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance throughout the ASC, resulting in the creation of FASB ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to

recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU provides alternative methods of adoption. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Deferral of the Effective Date”. ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Principal versus Agent Considerations” (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) clarifying the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. Specifically, an entity is required to determine whether the nature of a promise is to provide the specified good or service itself (that is, the entity is a principal) or to arrange for the good or service to be provided to the customer by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). The determination influences the timing and amount of revenue recognition. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”, clarifying the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing. The amendments in this ASU clarify the two following aspects (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-10 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-10 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” and “internal control over financial reporting” as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report (“Evaluation Date”), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively.

Management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition as of the Evaluation Date, and results of its operations and cash flows for the Evaluation Date, in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that

 

a)

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

b)

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

c)

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Based on our evaluation under the framework described above, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective in accordance with Item 308(a)(3) of Regulation S-K.

Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm

This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period ended April 1, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
