NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

BG Staffing, Inc. (formerly LTN Staffing, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company whose sole member was LTN Acquisition, LLC (the “Parent”)), is a provider of temporary staffing services that also operates, through its wholly owned subsidiaries BG Staffing, LLC, B G Staff Services Inc. and BG Personnel, LP (collectively, the “Company”), within the United States of America in three industry segments: Light Industrial, Multifamily, and IT Staffing.

In connection with BG Staffing, Inc’s filing of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register the resale of common stock of BG Staffing, Inc., the Company reorganized. The reorganization was completed with a merger of the Parent with and into LTN Staffing, LLC, with LTN Staffing, LLC continuing as the surviving entity. Immediately following this merger, LTN Staffing, LLC converted to a corporation for state law purposes and to a C corporation for federal income tax purposes on November 3, 2013. All unit, share, and per share amounts shown in these Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the affect of the conversion as of the earliest date shown.

The Light Industrial segment provides temporary workers primarily to distributions and logistics costumers needing a flexible workforce in Illinois, Wisconsin, Texas, Tennessee, and Mississippi. The Company completed an acquisition on May 28, 2013, that expanded its Light Industrial operations into Texas, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

The Multifamily segment provides front office and maintenance personnel on a temporary basis to various apartment communities, in Texas and other states, via property management companies responsible for the apartment communities day to day operations.

The IT Staffing segment provides skilled contract labor on a nationwide basis for IT implementation and maintenance projects.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2014 and September 29, 2013, have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and operating results of the Company as of and for the respective periods. However, these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, management of the Company believes, to the best of their knowledge, that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Company has determined that there were no subsequent events that would require disclosure or adjustments to the accompanying consolidated financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Accounts receivable represents unpaid balances due from customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers’ non-payment of balances due to the Company. The Company’s determination of the allowance for uncollectible amounts is based on management’s judgments and assumptions, including general economic conditions, portfolio composition, prior loss experience, evaluation of credit risk related to certain individual customers and the Company’s ongoing examination process. Receivables are written off after they are deemed to be uncollectible after all means of collection have been exhausted. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. The allowance for doubtful accounts consists of the following:



	Thirteen Weeks Ended						Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
	September 28, 2014			September 29, 2013			September 28, 2014			September 29, 2013
Allowance at beginning of the period	$	518,518		$	119,098		$	439,886		$	214,012
Provision for doubtful accounts	159,926			170,726			312,333			170,726
Amounts written off	(51,152		)	(45,814		)	(124,927		)	(140,728		)
Allowance at end of the period	$	627,292		$	244,010		$	627,292		$	244,010

Deferred Financing Charges

Deferred financing charges are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the respective loans payable. During the thirteen week periods ended September 28, 2014 and September 29, 2013, the Company recognized $40,265 and $76,992 of amortization expense as a component of interest expense related to deferred financing charges, respectively. During the thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2014 and September 29, 2013, the Company recognized $133,038 and $160,157 of amortization expense as a component of interest expense related to deferred financing charges, respectively. At September 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, there were $536,873 and $362,960 of unamortized deferred financing charges, respectively.

Property and Equipment

The Company’s policy is to depreciate the cost of property and equipment over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over their useful lives, or the applicable lease term, if shorter.



	Years
Leasehold improvements	1-5
Furniture and fixtures	5-7
Computer systems	5
Vehicles	5

Intangible Assets

The Company holds intangible assets with indefinite and finite lives. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, ranging from three to five years, based on a pattern in which the economic benefit of the respective intangible asset is realized.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Identifiable intangible assets recognized in conjunction with acquisitions are recorded at fair value. Significant unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets based on the income approach valuation model whereby the present worth and anticipated future benefits of the identifiable intangible assets were discounted back to their net present value. Goodwill represents the difference between the enterprise value/cash paid less the fair value of all recognized asset fair values including the identifiable intangible asset values.

In May 2014, due to a recent remarketing launch, the Company noticed significant remaining name recognition and distinctiveness in its IT Staffing segment’s trade names and decided to continue their use in operations indefinitely. The trade name assets’ useful lives were changed to indefinite lived intangible assets and were no longer amortized. At September 28, 2014, these trade names have a remaining unamortized value of $2,537,566. For the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2014, the decrease in amortization expense associated with this change was $198,500 and $330,833, respectively. For the thirteen week period ended September 28, 2014, the increase in basic and diluted net income per share associated with this change was approximately $0.04 and $0.03 per share, respectively. For the thirty-nine week period ended September 28, 2014, the decrease in basic and diluted net loss per share associated with this change was approximately $0.06 per share. The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company determined that there were no impairment indicators for these assets in 2014 and 2013.

The Company annually evaluates the remaining useful lives of all intangible assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is measured at the reporting unit level for impairment annually at the end of each fiscal year, or more frequently if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary. If the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value for one or more reporting units is greater than their carrying value, the Company may use a qualitative assessment for the annual impairment test.

In conducting the qualitative assessment, the Company assesses the totality of relevant events and circumstances that affect the fair value or carrying value of the reporting unit. Such events and circumstances may include macroeconomic conditions, industry and competitive environment conditions, overall financial performance, reporting unit specific events and market considerations. The Company may also consider recent valuations of the reporting unit, including the magnitude of the difference between the most recent fair value estimate and the carrying value, as well as both positive and adverse events and circumstances, and the extent to which each of the events and circumstances identified may affect the comparison of a reporting unit’s fair value with its carrying value.

For reporting units where the qualitative assessment is not used, goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step process. In the first step, the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined based on discounted cash flow projections. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and no further testing is required.

If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value of a reporting unit, a second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, goodwill is deemed impaired and is written down to its implied fair value.

Based on our annual testing, the Company has determined that there was no goodwill impairment during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013 (“Fiscal 2013”). As of September 28, 2014, the Company has allocated $4,483,937, $1,073,755, and $305,791 of total goodwill to our three separate reporting units: Light Industrial, Multifamily and IT Staffing, respectively. There were no events or changes in circumstances during the thirty-nine week period ended September 28, 2014 that caused the Company to perform an interim impairment assessment.

Revenue Recognition

The Company provides temporary staffing solutions. The Company and its clients enter into agreements that outline the general terms and conditions of the staffing arrangement. Revenue is recognized as services are performed and associated costs have been incurred. Revenues include reimbursements of travel and out-of-pocket expenses with the equivalent amounts of expense recorded in cost of services. The Company considers revenue to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Income Taxes

Until November 3, 2013, the Company was treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes except for B G Staff Services Inc., which are taxed as C corporations. Consequently, federal and state income taxes were not payable, or provided for, by the Company, except for those BG entities that were taxed as C corporations. Accordingly, the financial statements reflect the impact of income taxes for the taxable BG entities. Members were taxed individually on their share of the Company’s earnings, not earned in the C corporations, which were allocated among the members in accordance with the operating agreement of the Parent.

In connection with the Company’s reorganization (see Note 1), as of November 3, 2013, the Company is treated as a C corporation for federal income tax purposes. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company also evaluates the need for valuation allowances to reduce the deferred tax assets to realizable amounts. Management evaluates all positive and negative evidence and uses judgment regarding past and future event, including operating results, to help determine when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. When appropriate, a valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets to off set future tax benefits that may not be realized. There was no valuation allowance recorded as of September 28, 2014 or December 29, 2013.

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements was the largest benefit that had a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company assessed all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remain open. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 28, 2014 or September 29, 2013. The Company is open to examination by tax authorities for federal, state or local income taxes for periods beginning after 2010. The Company recognizes any penalties and interest when necessary as part of selling, general and administrative expenses.

Stock Based Compensation

On December 20, 2013, the board of directors of BG Staffing, Inc. adopted the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). Under the 2013 Plan employees and directors may receive incentive stock options and other awards. A total of 900,000 shares of the common stock of BG Staffing, Inc. were initially reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2013 Plan. The Company determines the fair value of options to purchase common stock using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company recognizes compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses over the service period for options that are expected to vest and records adjustments to compensation expense at the end of the service period if actual forfeitures differ from original estimates.

Management Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Fair Value Measurements

The estimated fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short period to maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of all debt at September 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 approximated the carrying value as the debt bears market rates of interest. These fair values were estimated based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, when quoted market prices were not available. The estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange.

Level 1 measurements consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 measurements include quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 measurements include significant unobservable inputs.

In connection with the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of InStaff Holding Corporation and InStaff Personnel, LLC (collectively, “InStaff”) on May 28, 2013, the Company granted a put option liability which is carried at fair market value in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the put option was $2,493,452 and $1,312,606 at September 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, respectively. The put option liability is revalued at each balance sheet date at the greater of an adjusted earning before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) method or the fair market value. Changes in fair value are recorded as non-cash, non-operating income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The liability is classified within Level 3 as the lack of an active market during 2013 with only a slight increase in activity during 2014 impacts the calculation of fair market value as an unobservable input used to value the put option. There were no changes in fair value during Fiscal 2013. There were no substantive changes to the valuation techniques and related inputs used to measure fair value during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2014.

The fair value is reviewed on a quarterly basis based on the most recent financial performance of the most recent fiscal quarter. An analysis is performed at the end of each fiscal quarter to compare actual results to forecasted financial performance. If performance has deviated from projected levels, the valuation is updated for the latest information available. For the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2014, the Company recognized $954,605 and $1,180,846 of expense related to the change in fair value of the put option liability, respectively.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated using our weighted-average outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using our weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method. For the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2014, the Company had 138,942 and 519,285 common stock equivalents that were antidilutive, respectively. As a result, these shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.

Pro Forma Loss Per Share

In connection with the Company’s reorganization in Fiscal 2013 (see Note 1), the pro forma loss per share has been calculated as if the Company were a C corporation for federal income tax purposes. Pro forma loss per share was calculated using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. The weighted-average shares outstanding used in the calculation of pro forma diluted loss per share includes the dilutive effect of options to purchase common shares using the treasury stock method. The calculation of pro forma loss per share was calculated as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-9), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-9 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-9 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP.

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-9 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-9 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2017.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS

On May 28, 2013, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of InStaff for an initial cash consideration paid of $9,000,000 and contingent consideration of $1,000,000 based on the performance of InStaff for the two years following the date of acquisition. The fair value of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date was $800,000 based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The purchase agreement contained a provision for a “true up” of acquired working capital 120 days after the closing date. If actual working capital were greater than the target working capital, the Company would pay additional consideration in the amount of the difference. If actual working capital were less than target working capital, InStaff would pay the Company the amount of the difference. On November 29, 2013, the Company paid an additional of $436,528 for the working capital adjustment. The Company incurred costs of approximately $420,000 related to the acquisition. These costs were expensed as incurred in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The consolidated statements of operations include the operating results of InStaff from the date of acquisition. InStaff operations contributed approximately $39.7 million of revenue for the thirty-nine week period ended September 28, 2014. The assets acquired from InStaff were assigned to the Light Industrial segment. The acquisition of InStaff allows the Company to strengthen and expand its operations in the Light Industrial segment. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition as follows:

NOTE 4 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In May 2014, due to recent remarketing launch, the Company noticed significant remaining name recognition and distinctiveness in its IT Staffing segment’s trade names and decided to continue their use in operations indefinitely. The trade name assets’ useful lives were changed to indefinite lived intangible assets and were no longer amortized. At September 28, 2014, these trade names have a remaining unamortized value of $2,537,566. For the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2014, the increase in amortization expense associated with this change was $198,500 and $330,833, respectively. For the thirteen week period ended September 28, 2014, the decrease in basic and diluted net income per share associated with this change was approximately $0.04 and $0.03 per share, respectively. For the thirty-nine week period ended September 28, 2014, the decrease in basic and diluted net loss per share associated with this change was approximately $0.06 per share.

NOTE 6 - DEBT

The Company has a senior credit facility effective May 24, 2010, as amended. On January 29, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment with its lenders under the senior credit facility. The amendment provides for a revolving line of credit (“Revolver”) of $20.0 million, increased the original principal amount of the term loan facility (“Term Loan A”) from $7.1 million to $11.3 million and added $8.0 million of subordinated debt (“Term Loan B”). Borrowings under the Revolver and Term Loan A were partially used to repay the senior subordinated loans (“Subordinated Loans”) and $1.0 million was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of related party debt in the first quarter of 2014.

As of September 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, $14.6 million and $13.0 million were outstanding on the Revolver, respectively. Borrowings under the Revolver are subject to a borrowing base, bear interest at the 30-day LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 3.00% to 3.75% (3.5% at September 28, 2014), and are secured by all assets of the Company. On April 28, 2014, the Company executed an amendment to the senior credit facility that temporarily increased the borrowing base amount from 80% to 85% of receivables through August 31, 2014 and made other minor documentation modifications. The additional receivables increased the available borrowings under the Revolver from $2.3 million to $3.7 million at March 30, 2014. The Revolver matures on January 29, 2018.

At December 29, 2013, the Company had Subordinated Loans with two private lenders. The holders of these Subordinated Loans also hold equity interests of the Company, and therefore, are related parties. The Subordinated Loans required an annual mandatory prepayment of principal to be made if specific thresholds were met. The Company made such a mandatory prepayment of approximately $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2013. As noted above, the full amount of the Subordinated Loans was repaid on January 29, 2014 through additional borrowings on the senior credit facility.

Long-term debt consists of the following:



	September 28, 2014			December 29, 2013
Term Loan A, payable to a bank in monthly installments of principal and interest with a maturity date of January 29, 2018 and is secured by all assets of the Company. Interest is paid on a monthly basis at an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 3.75% to 4.5%, determined by certain thresholds (4.25% at September 28, 2014).	$	9,750,000		$	4,756,666

NOTE 7 - CONTINGENCIES

The Company is engaged from time to time in legal matters and proceedings arising out of its normal course of business. The Company establishes a liability related to its legal proceedings and claims when it has determined that it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and the related amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that an obligation is reasonably possible, the Company will, if material, disclose the nature of the loss contingency and the estimated range of possible loss, or include a statement that no estimate of the loss can be made. While uncertainties are inherent in the final outcome of such matters, the Company believes that there are no pending proceedings in which the Company is currently involved that will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

NOTE 8 – EQUITY

Following the Company’s conversion to a corporation (see Note 1), authorized capital stock consists of 19,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share and 500,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.

On December 19, 2013, the subordinated debt holders exercised their warrants to purchase 179,205 shares for a total of $200. As of September 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, the Company has 5,608,145 and 5,598,847 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

NOTE 12 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company provides a defined contribution plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for the benefit of its eligible full-time employees.

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

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto. Comparative segment revenues and related financial information are discussed herein and are presented in Note 13 to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. See “Forward Looking Statements” on page 4 of this report and “Risk Factors” included in our filings with the SEC, including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013, for a description of important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected results.

Basis of Presentation

We operate under a 52/53 week fiscal year. Our last three completed fiscal years ended on December 25, 2011 (“Fiscal 2011”), December 30, 2012 (“Fiscal 2012”) and December 29, 2013 (“Fiscal 2013”). Fiscal 2011 consist of 52 weeks, Fiscal 2012 consist of 53 weeks and Fiscal 2013 consists of 52 weeks. The differing length of certain fiscal years may affect the comparability of certain data.

We are a provider of temporary staffing services and have completed a series of acquisitions, which includes the acquisition of BG Personnel, LP and B G Staff Services Inc. in May 2010, JNA Staffing, Inc. in December 2010, Extrinsic, LLC in November 2011, American Partners, Inc. (“AmP”) in December 2012 and InStaff in May 2013. We operate within three industry segments: Light Industrial, Multifamily and IT Staffing. We provide services to customers primarily within the United States of America.

The Light Industrial segment provides temporary workers primarily to distribution and logistics customers needing a flexible workforce in Illinois, Wisconsin, Texas, Tennessee and Mississippi. We completed the InStaff acquisition on May 28, 2013, which expanded our Light Industrial operations into Texas, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

	IT Staffing	14,986		15,517
	Total Revenues	$	48,008	$	47,866

Light Industrial Revenues: Light Industrial revenues have decreased $3.1 million (12.7%) from $24.5 million in Fiscal Quarter 2013 to $21.4 million in Fiscal Quarter 2014, mainly due to branches outside of Texas, which accounted for $2.5 million of the decrease in Light Industrial revenue and $0.6 million from branches in Texas.

Multifamily Revenues: Multifamily revenues increased $3.7 million (46.8%) from $7.9 million in Fiscal Quarter 2013 to $11.6 million in Fiscal Quarter 2014, due to an increase in bill rates, as well as an increase in volume. Revenue from branches outside of Texas accounted for $2.6 million of the increase and revenue from branches in Texas increased approximately $1.1 million.

IT Staffing Revenues: IT Staffing revenues decreased $0.5 million (3.2%) from $15.5 million in Fiscal Quarter 2013 to $15.0 million in Fiscal Quarter 2014, primarily from our American Partners division.

Gross Profit:

Gross profit represents revenues from services less cost of services expenses, which consist of payroll, payroll taxes, payroll-related insurance, subcontractor costs, and reimbursable costs.

	IT Staffing	21.9	%	22.9	%

Overall, our gross profit has increased $0.9 million (9.9%) from $9.1 million in Fiscal Quarter 2013 to $10.0 million in Fiscal Quarter 2014, due primarily to a shift in product mix during the quarter. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit has increased from Fiscal Quarter 2013 to Fiscal Quarter 2014 mainly due to higher revenues in our Multifamily segment which had the highest gross margins. The Multifamily segment contributed approximately 27.9% of the gross profit in Fiscal Quarter 2013 and approximately 39.5% of the gross profit in Fiscal Quarter 2014. Our Light Industrial segment, which had the lowest gross profit percentages, contributed approximately 33.0% of the gross profit in Fiscal Quarter 2013 and approximately 27.6% of the gross profit in Fiscal Quarter 2014. Finally, IT Staffing contributed approximately 39.1% of the gross profit in Fiscal Quarter 2013 and approximately 32.9% of the gross profit in Fiscal Quarter 2014.

Light Industrial Gross Profit: Light Industrial gross profit decreased $0.2 million (6.7%) from $3.0 million in Fiscal Quarter 2013 to $2.8 million in Fiscal Quarter 2014, mainly due to lower revenues in several markets during 2014. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased from 12.3% in Fiscal Quarter 2013 to 12.9% in Fiscal Quarter 2014.

Multifamily Gross Profit: Multifamily gross profit increased $1.4 million (56.0%) from $2.5 million in Fiscal Quarter 2013 to $3.9 million in Fiscal Quarter 2014, mainly due to an increase in volume primarily generated by branches outside of Texas. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased from 32.2% in Fiscal Quarter 2013 to 34.0% in Fiscal Quarter 2014.

IT Staffing Gross Profit: IT Staffing gross profit decreased $0.3 million (8.3%) from $3.6 million in Fiscal Quarter 2013 to $3.3 million in Fiscal Quarter 2014 due to the mix of customers in our Extrinsic division. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased from 22.9% in Fiscal Quarter 2013 to 21.9% in Fiscal Quarter 2014.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.9 million (17.0%) to $6.2 million in Fiscal Quarter 2014 from $5.3 million in Fiscal Quarter 2013, primarily due increased costs of $0.8 million at Multifamily with $0.6 million from branches outside of Texas and $0.2 million from branches in Texas.

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization charges decreased $0.1 million (8.3%) to $1.1 million during Fiscal Quarter 2014, compared to $1.2 million during Fiscal Quarter 2013. The decrease in depreciation and amortization is primarily due to no longer amortizing the IT Staffing segment's trade names.

Interest Expense, net: Interest expense, net was $0.6 million during Fiscal Quarter 2014 compared to $1.1 million during Fiscal Quarter 2013, a decrease of $0.5 million. The decrease in interest expense, net is primarily due to an amendment with the lender under the senior credit facility on January 29, 2014 which resulted in the repayment of senior subordinated indebtedness (“Subordinated Loans”) having a higher interest rate.

Income Taxes: We had an income tax expense of $0.8 million in Fiscal Quarter 2014, compared to income tax benefit of $-0- million in Fiscal Quarter 2013. The increase in income taxes is primarily due to an increase in taxable income related to the change from a partnership where the partners pay the tax on taxable income to a C corporation that is taxable on its own income. Prior to our reorganization into a Delaware corporation, which occurred on November 3, 2013, we were treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes except for two subsidiaries, which were and are taxed as C corporations.

	Total Revenues	$	129,875	$	107,882

Light Industrial Revenues: Light Industrial revenues have increased $12.4 million (26.1%) from $47.5 million in YTD 2013 to $59.9 million in YTD 2014, mainly due to the additional volume acquired in the May 2013 acquisition of InStaff, which accounted for $19.4 million of the increase in Light Industrial revenue and partially offset by a decrease of $7.0 million in remaining branches.

Multifamily Revenues: Multifamily revenues increased $8.4 million (48.0%) from $17.5 million in YTD 2013 to $25.9 million in YTD 2014, due to an increase in bill rates, as well as an increase in volume. Revenue from branches outside of Texas accounted for $5.9 million of the increase and revenue from branches in Texas increased $2.5 million.

IT Staffing Revenues: IT Staffing revenues increased $1.2 million (2.8%) from $42.9 million in YTD 2013 to $44.1 million in YTD 2014, primarily due to organic growth. Increased revenues from YTD 2013 were $0.8 million at our Extrinsic division and $0.4 million at our American Partners division.

Gross Profit:

Gross profit represents revenues from services less cost of services expenses, which consist of payroll, payroll taxes, payroll-related insurance, subcontractor costs, and reimbursable costs.

Overall, our gross profit has increased $5.6 million (27.2%) from $20.6 million in YTD 2013 to $26.2 million in YTD 2014, mainly due to increased revenues. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit has increased from YTD 2013 to YTD 2014 mainly due to a revenue mix shift resulting from increased revenues from higher margin customers and a reduction in revenue of some lower margin customers. Light Industrial, which has the lowest gross profit percentages, contributed approximately 26.1% of the gross profit in YTD 2013 and approximately 30.1% of the gross profit in YTD 2014. Multifamily, which has the highest gross profit percentages, contributed approximately 27.8% of the gross profit in YTD 2013 and approximately 33.1% of the gross profit in YTD 2014. These segment increases in gross profit were partially offset by decreased gross profit in the IT Staffing segment, which contributed approximately 46.1% of the gross profit in YTD 2013 and approximately 36.8% of the gross profit in YTD 2014.

Light Industrial Gross Profit: Light Industrial gross profit increased $2.5 million (46.3%) from $5.4 million in YTD 2013 to $7.9 million in YTD 2014, mainly due to the additional volume acquired in the May 2013 acquisition of InStaff. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased from 11.3% in YTD 2013 to 13.2% in YTD 2014.

Multifamily Gross Profit: Multifamily gross profit increased $3.0 million (52.6%) from $5.7 million in YTD 2013 to $8.7 million in YTD 2014, mainly due to an increase in volume primarily generated by branches outside of Texas. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased from 32.7% in YTD 2013 to 33.4% in YTD 2014.

IT Staffing Gross Profit: IT Staffing gross profit increased $0.1 million (1.1%) from $9.5 million in YTD 2013 to $9.6 million in YTD 2014 due to the mix of customers. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased from 22.2% in YTD 2013 to 21.8% in YTD 2014.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.9 million (36.3%) to $13.5 million in YTD 2014 from $18.4 million in YTD 2013, primarily due to $2.3 million at Multifamily with $1.6 million from branches outside of Texas and $0.7 million from branches in Texas, $1.2 million at Light Industrial, which includes $1.5 million from the acquisition of InStaff in May 2013 and $1.1 million at corporate in stock-based compensation.

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization charges increased $0.2 million (5.9%) to $3.6 million during YTD 2014, compared to $3.4 million during YTD 2013. The increase in depreciation and amortization is primarily due to Light Industrial segment intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of InStaff in May 2013.

Interest Expense, net: Interest expense, net was $2.1 million during YTD 2014 compared to $2.6 million during YTD 2013, a decrease of $0.5 million. The decrease in interest expense, net is primarily due to an amendment with the lender under the senior credit facility on January 29, 2014 which resulted in the repayment of the Subordinated Loans having a higher interest rate.

Income Taxes: We had an income tax expense of $0.9 million in YTD 2014, compared to income tax expense of $-0- million in YTD 2013. The increase in income taxes is primarily due to an increase in taxable income related to the change from a partnership where the partners pay the tax on taxable income to a C corporation that is taxable on its own income. Prior to our reorganization into a Delaware corporation, which occurred on November 3, 2013, we were treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes except for two subsidiaries, which were and are taxed as C corporations.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present Adjusted EBITDA (defined below), a measure that is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP), in this Quarterly Report to provide investors with a supplemental measure of our operating performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure and is used by us to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under GAAP can provide alone. Our board and management also use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expected performance and for evaluating on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such expectations, and as a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain compensation programs and plans for company management. In addition, certain financial covenants in our senior credit facility are based on a measure similar to Adjusted EBITDA.

We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, loss on early extinguishment of related party debt, transaction fees related to our acquisitions, and other non-cash expenses such as the put option adjustment and stock compensation expense. Omitting interest, taxes and the other items provides a financial measure that facilitates comparisons of our results of operations with those of companies having different capital structures. Since the levels of indebtedness and tax structures that other companies have are different from ours, we omit these amounts to facilitate investors’ ability to make these comparisons. Similarly, we omit depreciation and amortization because other companies may employ a greater or lesser amount of property and intangible assets. We also believe that investors, analysts and other interested parties view our ability to generate Adjusted EBITDA as an important measure of our operating performance and that of other companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) for the periods indicated as a measure of our performance. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

The use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from, or as an alternative to, GAAP measures such as net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity under GAAP or otherwise, and is not an alternative to cash flow from continuing operating activities. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by the expenses that are excluded from that term or by unusual or non-recurring items. The limitations of Adjusted EBITDA include: (i) it does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (ii) it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (iii) it does not reflect income tax payments we may be required to make; and (iv) it does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments associated with indebtedness.

To properly and prudently evaluate our business, we encourage you to review our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and the reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA from net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP, set forth in the following table. All of the items included in the reconciliation

from net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA are either (i) non-cash items or (ii) items that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance. In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors may find it useful to assess our comparative operating performance because the measures without such items are less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges and more reflective of other factors that affect operating performance. In the case of the other items that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance, management believes that investors may find it useful to assess our operating performance if the measures are presented without these items because their financial impact may not reflect on-going operating performance.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations and borrowings under our senior credit facility. Our primary uses of cash are payroll, subcontractor costs, operating expenses, capital expenditures and debt service. We believe that the cash generated from operations, together with the borrowing availability under our senior credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our normal working capital needs for at least the next twelve months, including investments made, and expenses incurred, in connection with opening new branches throughout the next year. Our ability to continue to fund these items may be affected by general economic, competitive and other factors, many of which are outside of our control. If our future cash flow from operations and other capital resources are insufficient to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to obtain additional debt or equity capital or refinance all or a portion of our debt. At September 28, 2014 we are in material compliance with all debt covenants.

While we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our current operating requirements and expansion plans, we may elect to pursue additional growth opportunities within the next year that could require additional debt or equity financing. If we are unable to secure additional financing at favorable terms in order to pursue such additional growth opportunities, our ability to pursue such opportunities could be materially adversely affected.

A summary of our operating, investing and financing activities are shown in the following table:



	Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
	September 28, 2014			September 29, 2013
	(dollars in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	3,328		$	687
Net cash used in investing activities	(262		)	(9,266		)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(3,066		)	8,579
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	—		$	—

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities consists of net loss adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of related party debt, stock compensation expense, changes in deferred income taxes, and the effect of working capital changes. The primary drivers of cash inflows and outflows are accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and accrued payroll.

During the thirty-nine week period ended September 28, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was $3.3 million compared to $0.7 million for the corresponding period in 2013. This increase is mainly due to the increased volume of operations due to the acquisition of InStaff.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities consists primarily of cash paid for businesses acquired and capital expenditures.

In the thirty-nine week period ended September 28, 2014, we made capital expenditures of $0.3 million mainly related computer equipment purchased in the ordinary course of business. In the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 2013, we made capital expenditures of approximately $0.2 million mainly related to furniture upgrades at our American Partners division and additional computer equipment purchased in the ordinary course of business. We plan to spend approximately $0.2 million on capital expenditures, not including any acquisition costs, during the remainder of the current fiscal year for leasehold improvements and computer equipment in the ordinary course of business using cash provided by operating activities and borrowing under our senior credit facility.

Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities consisted principally of borrowings and payments under our senior credit facility, payment of other long-term obligations and contingent consideration paid. We currently do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock.

For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2014, we decreased our long-term debt and other long-term liabilities by $2.2 million using excess cash flows from operations, and we paid $1.0 million of contingent consideration primarily related to the May 2013 acquisition of InStaff and the December 2012 acquisition of AmP.

For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2013, we increased our borrowings on our revolving line of credit plus increased the related party Subordinated Loans by $12.2 million. This was mainly done to fund the InStaff acquisition, as well as to fund the $1.0 million contingent consideration paid related to the Extrinsic acquisition and the $0.5 million mandatory prepayment of principal to our related party subordinated debtholders, as determined by an excess cash flow calculation, as defined, performed annually.

Senior Credit Facility

On January 29, 2014, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Fifth Third Bank. The Loan Agreement amended and restated that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2010, as amended (the “Prior Loan Agreement”), which had until January 29, 2014 governed our senior credit facility.

The Loan Agreement governs our senior credit facility (which now matures on January 29, 2018), which provides a revolving line of credit (“Revolver”) that permits us to borrow funds from time to time in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of the borrowing base and the revolving loan commitment of $20.0 million. The borrowing base is adjusted on a monthly basis and is based on our accounts receivables. On April 28, 2014, we executed the first amendment to the Loan Agreement that temporarily increased the borrowing base amount from 80% to 85% of receivables through August 31, 2014 and made other minor documentation modifications. The Loan Agreement further provides for a term loan of approximately $11.3 million (“Term Loan A”) and a term loan of $8.0 million (“Term Loan B”), each of which matures on January 29, 2018. Our obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a continuing and unconditional first priority security interest in all of our tangible and intangible property.

Our Revolver and Term Loan A bear interest at the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as those terms are defined in the Loan Agreement). Accrued and unpaid interest on borrowings under our Revolver and Term Loan A are due and payable monthly in arrears and, with respect to Term Loan A, principal payments are required monthly and upon the occurrence of certain events. Term Loan B bears interest at a fixed rate of 11.0% per annum. Accrued and unpaid interest on borrowings under the Term Loan B are due and payable monthly in arrears, a compounding deferred fee of 1.5% per annum is due in a lump-sum payment, and principal payments are required upon the occurrence of certain events. Borrowings under our Revolver and Term Loan A were partially used to prepay our senior subordinated indebtedness (as described below under “Subordinated Loans”).

At closing, we paid commitment fees of $100,000 (with respect to the Revolver and Term Loan A) and $160,000 (with respect to Term Loan B). We must pay an unused commitment fee of 0.25% of the difference between the Revolving Loan Commitment (i.e., $20.0 million) and the average daily balance of the Revolver for each month, payable in arrears, and a Compounding Deferred Fee (as defined in the Loan Agreement) on the earlier of the date Term Loan B matures or is paid in full.

The Loan Agreement contains negative covenants that, among other things, restricts our ability to, with certain exceptions, (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) grant liens, (iii) make investments, (iv) dispose of assets, (v) enter into mergers, consolidations or similar transactions, (vi) issue securities, (vii) pay dividends or make distributions, (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates or (ix) change the nature of our business.

In addition, the Loan Agreement requires us to satisfy certain financial covenants, specifically: (i) we may not permit the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for the four fiscal quarter period ending in March 2014 and for the four fiscal quarter period ending in each fiscal quarter thereafter to be less than 1.20 to 1.00; (ii) as of the end of each fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarter period then ending, we may not permit the Total Funded Indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) to be greater than 3.50 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters ended in March 2014, 3.25 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters ended in June 2014, 3.25 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters ended in September 2014, 3.00 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters ended in December 2014, 3.00 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters ended in March 2015, and 2.50 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters ended in June 2015 and each fiscal quarter thereafter; (iii) we must have, as of the end of each fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarters then ending, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of least $9.5 million; and (iv) we may not incur capital expenditures in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year).

We are permitted to prepay in part or in full amounts due under our Revolver and may prepay the Term A Loan and Term B Loan without penalty provided certain conditions are met. Events of default include, among other things, late payment or non-payment, breach of representations, breach of affirmative or negative covenants (including financial covenants), defaults on other indebtedness, default with respect to a material purchase or lease of goods or services where the default might reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Loan Agreement), bankruptcy or insolvency, certain judgments, a Change of Control (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and impairment of collateral. If an event of default occurs, the interest rate applicable to our Revolver and Term Loan A will increase by 2% per annum, and the interest rate applicable to Term Loan B will increase by 2% per annum or to the default interest rate applicable to our Revolver and Term Loan A, whichever is higher.

Subordinated Loans

We had approximately $14.6 million of outstanding Subordinated Loans at December 29, 2013. The Subordinated Loans were prepaid on January 29, 2014 through the use of proceeds obtained pursuant to the Loan Agreement with Fifth Third (discussed above). The Subordinated Loans were expressly junior and subordinated only to the debt outstanding under the senior credit facility. Interest on the Subordinated Loans accrued at a rate of 14.0% per annum (of which 12% was cash and 2% was paid in kind). Accrued interest on the Subordinated Loans was approximately $0.6 million as of December 29, 2013. The Subordinated Loans required, effective December 30, 2012, that an excess cash flow payment to be made if specific thresholds were met. A mandatory principal payment of approximately $0.5 million was made in the first quarter of 2013. The Subordinated Loans were to mature on May 31, 2015. The former holders of the Subordinated Loans currently hold shares of our common stock, and therefore were related parties.

For all of our borrowings, we must comply with various financial covenants. As of September 28, 2014, we were in material compliance with these covenants.

The foregoing is a summary of the material terms with respect to our senior credit facility and Subordinated Loans, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual text of the agreements applicable to our senior credit facility and the Subordinated Loans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, future results could differ from those estimates. Critical accounting policies reflect material judgment and uncertainty and may result in materially different results using different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results and the uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

We provide temporary staffing solutions. We enter into agreements with our clients that outline the general terms and conditions of the staffing arrangement. Revenue is recognized as services are performed and associated costs have been incurred. Revenues include reimbursements of travel and out-of-pocket expenses with the equivalent amounts of expense recorded in cost of services. We consider revenue to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of our customers to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on management’s judgments and assumptions, including general economic conditions, portfolio composition, prior loss experience, and expectations of future write-offs. The allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed quarterly and past due balances are written off after they are deemed to be uncollectible after all means of collection have been exhausted. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is measured at the reporting unit level for impairment annually at the end of each fiscal year, or more frequently if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary. If we have determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value for one or more reporting units is greater than their carrying value, we may use a qualitative assessment for annual impairment test.

In conducting the qualitative assessment, we assess the totality of relevant events and circumstances that affect the fair value or carrying value of the reporting unit. Such events and circumstances may include macroeconomic conditions, industry and competitive environment conditions, overall financial performance, reporting unit specific events and market considerations. We may also consider recent valuations of the reporting unit, including the magnitude of the difference between the most recent fair value estimate and the carrying value, as well as both positive and adverse events and circumstances, and the extent to which each of the events and circumstances identified may affect the comparison of a reporting unit’s fair value with its carrying value.

Based on our annual testing, we have determined that there was no goodwill impairment in Fiscal 2013. As of December 29, 2013, we have allocated $4.5 million, $1.1 million, and $0.3 million of total goodwill to our three separate reporting units: Light Industrial, Multifamily and IT Staffing, respectively. There were no events or changes in circumstances during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2014 that caused us to perform an interim impairment assessment.

We hold intangible assets with indefinite and finite lives. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, ranging from three to five years, based on a pattern in which the economic benefit of the respective intangible asset is realized. In May 2014, due to a recent remarketing launch, we reassessed the useful lives of trade name assets and concluded that these are indefinite lived intangible assets and would no longer amortize them. We annually evaluate the remaining useful lives of our finite intangible assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. We also evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. We have determined that there were no impairment indicators for these assets in 2014 and 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP.

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2017.

JOBS Act

The JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public and private companies until such pronouncements become mandatory for private companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public and private companies.

Additionally, as an “emerging growth company,” we are not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 or (ii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our market risks relate primarily to changes in interest rates. Borrowings under our existing senior credit facility bear floating interest rates that are tied to LIBOR and, therefore, our results of operations and our cash flows will be exposed to changes in interest rates. A one percentage point increase in LIBOR would cause an annual increase to the interest expense on our borrowings under our senior credit facility of approximately $0.9 million.

We do not have any foreign currency or any other derivative financial instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, at a reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

For the quarter ended September 28, 2014, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluations required by Rule 13a-15(d) or Rule 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider the risks described below and those contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013. The occurrence of one or more of these events could significantly and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and stock price. The risks described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not necessarily the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those that we currently deem to be immaterial may materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Our common stock has only been traded on the NYSE MKT since October 27, 2014, and has traded in low volumes. We cannot predict whether an active trading market for our common stock will ever develop. Even if an active trading market develops, the market price of our common stock may be significantly volatile.

Our common stock has only been traded on the NYSE MKT since October 27, 2014 and has traded in low volumes. We cannot predict whether an active market for our common stock will ever develop in the future. In the absence of an active trading market:


•	you may have difficulty buying and selling our common stock at all or at the price you consider reasonable;


•	market visibility for shares of our common stock may be limited, which may have a depressive effect on the market price for shares of our common stock and on our ability to raise capital or make acquisitions by issuing our common stock.

Even if an active market for our common stock develops, of which no assurances can be given, the market price for our common stock may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:


•	actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;


•	changes in financial or operational estimates or projections;


•	conditions in markets generally;


•	changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies similar to ours; and


•	general economic or political conditions in the United States or elsewhere.

The securities market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock.

Item 2. Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On August 1, 2014, we issued two warrants entitling each holder thereof to purchase up to 25,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $10.00 per share. The warrants were issued in exchange for public relations services and will expire on August 1, 2017. The issuance of the warrants was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On September 19, 2014, we issued 498 shares of common stock upon the cashless exercise of outstanding warrants. The warrants had an original exercise price of $4.51 per share. The issuance of the common stock was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
