These statements relate to our expectations for future events and time periods. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed to be forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements regarding:

These forward-looking statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our current expectations, forecasts and assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date. Future performance cannot be ensured. Actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include:
 
the availability of field talents’ workers' compensation insurance coverage at commercially reasonable terms;
the availability of qualified field talent;
compliance with federal, state, local labor and foreign labor and employment laws and regulations and changes in such laws and regulations;
the ability to compete with new competitors and competitors with superior marketing and financial resources;

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
BGSF, Inc., along with its wholly owned subsidiaries BGSF Professional, LLC (formally BG Staffing, LLC), B G Staff Services Inc., BG Personnel, LP, BG Finance and Accounting, Inc., BG California IT Staffing, Inc., BG California Multifamily Staffing, Inc., BG California Finance & Accounting Staffing, Inc., EdgeRock Technology Holdings, Inc., EdgeRock Technologies, LLC, and BG Personnel of Texas, LLC (collectively, the “Company”), is a national provider of workforce solutions.

On March 21, 2022, we completed the sale of substantially all our Light Industrial segment (“InStaff”) assets to Jobandtalent (“J&T”), through their wholly-owned subsidiary, Sentech Engineering Services, Inc.

Instaff's financial results for reported periods have been reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as discontinued operations. Additionally, the related assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations are classified as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

See “Note 4 - Discontinued Operations” in our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information.

The Company operates primarily within the United States of America in its Real Estate and Professional segments.

The Real Estate segment provides office and maintenance field talent to various apartment communities and commercial buildings currently in 34 states and D.C., via property management companies responsible for the apartment communities' and commercial buildings' day-to-day operations. The Real Estate segment operates through two divisions, BG Multifamily and BG Talent.
 
The Professional segment provides skilled field talent on a nationwide basis for information technology (“IT”) and finance, accounting, legal and human resource client partner projects. The Professional segment operates through three divisions, IT Consulting, IT Infrastructure & Development, and Finance and Accounting under various trade names including Extrinsic, American Partners, Donovan & Watkins, Vision Technology Services, Zycron, Smart Resources, L.J. Kushner & Associates, EdgeRock Technology Partners, and Momentum Solutionz.

The Company normally experiences seasonal fluctuations. The quarterly operating results are affected by the number of billing days in a quarter, as well as the seasonality of client partners’ businesses. Demand for the Real Estate workforce solutions has historically increased in the second quarter and is highest during the third quarter of the year due to the increased turns in multifamily units during the summer months when schools are not in session. Overall first quarter demand can be affected by adverse weather conditions in the winter months. In addition, the cost of services typically increases in the first quarter primarily due to the reset of payroll taxes.

The COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact both operational and financial performance. The impact on the Company's client partners and the ongoing government and community reactions to the pandemic remain unpredictable.

The current inflationary environment and related interest rate impacts continue to have significant adverse impact on the economy and market conditions. These factors may impact labor markets by reducing demand for the Company's workforce solutions, increasing early terminations, or diminishing projects. As a result, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“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 or any other future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, management of the Company believes, to the best of its 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, except for disclosure in Note 15. 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 26, 2021, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal Periods
 
The Company has a 52/53 week fiscal year. Fiscal periods for the consolidated financial statements included herein are as of June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021, and include the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021, referred to herein as Fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2021 financial statements to conform with the 2022 presentation.

 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. Significant estimates affecting the financial statements include allowances for credit losses, goodwill, intangible assets, lease liability, contingent consideration obligations related to acquisitions, and income taxes. Additionally, the valuation of share-based compensation expense uses a model based upon interest rates, stock prices, maturity estimates, volatility and other factors. The Company believes these estimates and assumptions are reliable. However, these estimates and assumptions may change in the future based on actual experience as well as market conditions.

As a result of the future economic uncertainty of COVID-19, management may need to make necessary changes to accounting policy judgements and estimates over time, which could result in meaningful impacts to the Company’s financial statements in future periods. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

Financial Instruments
 
The Company uses fair value measurements in areas that include, but are not limited to, the allocation of purchase price consideration to tangible and identifiable intangible assets, contingent consideration, and interest rate swap agreements. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current assets and liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of bank debt approximates fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rates under the credit agreement with BMO Harris Bank, N.A. (“BMO”) that provides for a revolving credit facility and current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and risk.

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

Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Concentration of credit risk is limited due to the Company’s diverse client partner base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographic locations nationwide. No single client partner accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable from continuing operations as of June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021 or revenue from continuing operations for the twenty-six week periods ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021. Geographic revenue from continuing operations in excess of 10% of the Company's consolidated revenue in Fiscal 2022 and the related percentage for Fiscal 2021 was generated in the following areas:     
Twenty-six Weeks Ended
June 26,
2022
June 27,
2021
Tennessee11 %12 %
Texas23 %26 %

Consequently, weakness in economic conditions in these regions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of future operations.

Accounts Receivable
 
The Company extends credit to its client partners in the normal course of business. Accounts receivable represents unpaid balances due from client partners. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for expected losses resulting from client partners’ 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 client partners and the Company’s ongoing examination process. Receivables are written off after they are deemed to be uncollectible after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. The Company will continue to actively monitor the impact of COVID-19 on expected credit losses.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses from continuing operations are as follows:

CARES Act Receivable

Other current assets from continuing operations includes $2.6 million of the Employee Retention Credit ("ERC") at June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021. The ERC was established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"). The CARES Act allows relief to businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic, by providing payment to employers for qualified wages and health insurance benefits for team members. The CARES Act applies to taxes incurred from March 27, 2020, through the third quarter of 2021.

Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated net of accumulated depreciation and amortization of $4.6 million and $4.3 million at June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021, respectively.

BGSF, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
Deposits
 
The Company maintains guaranteed costs policies for workers' compensation coverage in monopolistic states and minimal loss retention coverage in all other states. Under these policies, the Company is required to maintain refundable deposits of $3.0 million and $3.9 million, which are included in deposits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as of June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred in the development of internal-use software. Cloud computing implementation costs incurred in hosting arrangements are capitalized and reported as a component of other assets. All other internal-use software development costs are capitalized and reported as a component of computer software within intangible assets.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, primarily fixed assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. The Company looks primarily to the undiscounted future cash flows in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets have been impaired. There were no impairments with respect to long-lived assets during Fiscal 2022 or Fiscal 2021.

Leases
 
The Company leases all their office space through operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2025. Many of the lease agreements obligate the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance and certain maintenance costs, which are accounted for separately. Certain of the Company’s lease arrangements contain renewal provisions from 3 to 10 years, exercisable at the Company's option. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. All other leases are recorded on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the lease term.

Right of use lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and include options to extend or terminate the lease when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The present value of lease payments is determined primarily using the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date. The Company’s operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Intangible Assets
 
The Company holds intangible assets with indefinite and finite lives. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, ranging from three to ten years, based on a pattern in which the economic benefit of the respective intangible asset is realized.

Identifiable intangible assets recognized in conjunction with acquisitions are recorded at fair value. Significant unobservable inputs are 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 are discounted back to their net present value.

The Company capitalizes purchased software and internal payroll costs directly incurred in the modification of software for internal use. Software maintenance and training costs are expensed in the period incurred.

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 considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding COVID-19 and its impact on each of the reporting units. 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. The Company determined there were no impairment indicators for these assets during Fiscal 2022 or Fiscal 2021.


14

BGSF, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is evaluated 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. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding COVID-19 and its impact on each of the reporting units. 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. The Company determined there were no impairment indicators for goodwill assets during Fiscal 2022 or Fiscal 2021.

Deferred Financing Fees
 
Deferred financing fees are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the respective loans. Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability.
 
Contingent Consideration

The Company has obligations, to be paid in cash, related to its acquisitions if certain operating and financial goals are met. The fair value of this contingent consideration is determined using expected cash flows and present value technique. The fair value calculation of the expected future payments uses a discount rate commensurate with the risks of the expected cash flow. The resulting discount is amortized as interest expense over the outstanding period using the effective interest method.
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company derives its revenues from continuing operations in Real Estate and Professional segments. The Company provides workforce solutions and placement services. Revenues are recognized when promised services are delivered to client partners, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Revenues from continuing operations as presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income represent services rendered to client partners less sales adjustments and allowances. Reimbursements, including those related to out-of-pocket expenses, are also included in revenues, and the related amounts of reimbursable expenses are included in cost of services.

The Company records revenue on a gross basis as a principal versus on a net basis as an agent in the presentation of revenues and expenses. The Company has concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because the Company (i) has the risk of identifying and hiring qualified field talent, (ii) has the discretion to select the field talent and establish their price and duties and (iii) bears the risk for services that are not fully paid for by client partners.

Workforce solution revenues - Field talent revenues from contracts with client partners are recognized in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice, when the services are rendered by the Company’s field talent.

Contingent placement revenues - Any revenues associated with workforce solutions that are provided on a contingent basis are recognized once the contingency is resolved, as this is when control is transferred to the client partner, usually when employment candidates start their employment.

Retained search placement revenues - Any revenues from these workforce solutions are recognized based on the contractual amount for services completed to date which best depicts the transfer of control of services, which is less than 1% of consolidated revenues.

The Company estimates the effect of placement candidates who do not remain with its client partners through the guarantee period (generally 90 days) based on historical experience. Allowances, recorded as a liability, are established to estimate these losses. Fees to client partners are generally calculated as a percentage of the new worker’s annual compensation. No fees for placement workforce solutions are charged to employment candidates. These assumptions determine the timing of revenue recognition for the reported period.

Refer to Note 14 for disaggregated revenues by segment.

BGSF, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
Payment terms in the Company's contracts vary by the type and location of its client partner and the workforce solutions offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. There were no unsatisfied performance obligations as of June 26, 2022. There were no revenues recognized during the twenty-six week period ended June 26, 2022 related to performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods. There are no contract costs capitalized. The Company did not recognize any contract impairments during the twenty-six week period ended June 26, 2022.

Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company recognizes compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses over the service period for options or restricted stock 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.

Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities. Antidilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share.

The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the respective periods:

Income Taxes

The consolidated effective tax rates were 23.7% and 24.7% and for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended June 26, 2022, respectively. The consolidated effective tax rates were 16.0% and 16.1% for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended June 27, 2021, respectively. Effective tax rates for all periods consist of federal statutory rate plus state income taxes, which were partially offset by the Work Opportunity Tax Credit. The Fiscal 2021 effective tax rate was additionally reduced by the gain on contingent consideration.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts are classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. The overall change in deferred tax assets and liabilities for the period measures the deferred tax expense or benefit for the period. Effects of changes in enacted tax laws on deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected as adjustments to tax expense in the period of enactment. As of June 26, 2022, the Company has a $4.6 million net operating loss carry forward from the 2020 EdgeRock acquisition with no expiration date. These net operating losses are subject to an annual Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limitation of $1.3 million.

When appropriate, the Company will record a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets to offset future tax benefits that may not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is appropriate, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized, based in part upon management’s judgments regarding future events and past operating results.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
The Company recognizes any penalties when necessary as part of selling, general and administrative expenses. As of June 26, 2022, goodwill with an adjusted tax basis of $25.7 million is remaining to be amortized for tax purposes. As a matter of operation, we first calculate the effective tax on continuing operations, and then allocated the remaining taxes to our discontinued operations, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740.

The Company follows the guidance ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a more-likely-than-not measurement methodology to reflect the financial statement impact of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In March 2020 and January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”) and ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform: Scope (“ASU 2021-01”), respectively. Together, ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other arrangements that are expected to be impacted by the global transition away from certain reference rates, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate, towards new reference rates. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 was effective upon issuance and, once adopted, may be applied prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact that the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, if adopted, and currently does not expect that it would be material.

NOTE 8 - DEBT
 
On July 16, 2019, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), maturing July 16, 2024, led by BMO, as lead administrative agent, lender, letters of credit issuer, and swing line lender. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) permitting the Company to borrow funds from time to time in an aggregate amount up to $35 million. The Credit Agreement also provided for a term loan commitment (the “Term Loan”) permitting the Company to borrow funds from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed $30 million with principal payable quarterly, based on an annual percentage of the original principal amount as defined in the Credit Agreement, all of which has been funded. The Company may from time to time, with a maximum of two, request an increase in the aggregate Term Loan by $40 million, with minimum increases of $10 million. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all tangible and intangible property of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement bears interest either at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement). The Company also pays an unused commitment fee on the daily average unused amount of Revolving Facility and Term Loan.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Company is subject to a maximum Leverage Ratio and a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 26, 2022.

On February 8, 2021, the Company borrowed $3.8 million on the Revolving Facility in conjunction with the closing of the Momentum acquisition. On March 21, 2022, the Company paid down the balance on the existing Term Loan and a portion of the Revolving Facility using the proceeds from the sale of the Light Industrial segment (See Note 4).

Letter of Credit

In March 2020, in conjunction with the 2020 EdgeRock acquisition, the Company entered into a standby letter of credit arrangement, which expires December 31, 2024, for purposes of protecting a lessor against default on lease payments. As of June 26, 2022, the Company had a maximum financial exposure from this standby letter of credit totaling $0.1 million, all of which is considered usage against the Revolving Facility. The Company has no history of default, nor is it aware of circumstances that would require it to perform under any of these arrangements and believes that the resolution of any disputes thereunder that might arise in the future would not materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in respect to these arrangements as of June 26, 2022.

Line of Credit

At June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021, $17.7 million and $12.8 million, respectively, was outstanding on the revolving facilities. Average daily balance for the thirteen week periods ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021 was $13.8 million and $8.9 million, respectively. Average daily balance for the twenty-six week periods ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021 was $14.5 million and $7.6 million, respectively.

Cash Flow Hedge

On March 21, 2022, the Company paid down the balance on the existing Term Loan containing the $25.0 million notional amount which cancelled the pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swap agreement. The unrealized gains or losses associated with the change in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedging instrument was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The Company reclassified the interest rate swap from accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss against interest expense in the same period in which the hedge transaction affected earnings. As of June 26, 2022, these amounts have been removed from Other long-term assets (see Note 9).

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The accounting standard for fair value measurements defines fair value and establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value. The standard is applicable whenever assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. The fair value hierarchy established prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels as follows:
 
Level 1 - Observable inputs - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities - includes quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets, and amounts derived from valuation models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs - includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable and require us to develop relevant assumptions.

The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level they fall within the fair value hierarchy:

Contingent consideration, net Contingent consideration, net - current and long-term Level 3$1,038,363 $2,063,509 

The changes in the Level 2 fair value measurements from December 26, 2021 to June 26, 2022 relate to the cancellation of the interest rate swap arrangement. Key inputs in determining the fair value of the interest rate swap as of December 26, 2021 were quoted prices from BMO.

The changes in the Level 3 fair value measurements from December 26, 2021 to June 26, 2022 relates primarily to payments of $1.1 million on the Momentum acquisition, partially offset by $0.1 million in accretion. Key inputs in determining the fair value of the contingent consideration as of June 26, 2022 and December 26, 2021 included discount rates of approximately 9% as well as management's estimates of future sales volumes and earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”).


NOTE 10 - 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.

The Company insures against, subject to and upon the terms and conditions of various insurance policies, claims or losses from workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability, property damage, professional liability, employment practices, fiduciary liability, fidelity losses, crime and cyber risk, and director and officer liability. Under the Company's bylaws, the Company’s directors and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Company. The Company also has an insurance policy for our directors and officers to insure them against liabilities arising from the performance of their positions with the Company or its subsidiaries. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain officers.

Our business, results of operations, and financial condition have been, and may continue to be, impacted in material respects by COVID-19 and by related government actions, non-governmental organization recommendations, and public perceptions, all of which have led and may continue to lead to disruption in economic and labor markets.

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 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2021. Comparative segment revenues and related financial information are discussed herein and are presented in Note 14 to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. See “Forward Looking Statements” on page 3 of this report and “Risk Factors” included in our filings with the SEC, including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2021, for a description of important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected results. Please also refer to Note 4- Discontinued Operations, to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our historical financial information may not be indicative of our future performance.

Overview
 
We are a leading national provider of professional workforce solutions and have completed a series of acquisitions including the acquisition of BG Personnel, LP and B G Staff Services Inc. in June 2010, substantially all of the assets of JNA Staffing, Inc. in December 2010, Extrinsic, LLC in December 2011, American Partners, Inc. in December 2012, InStaff in June 2013, D&W in March 2015, VTS October 2015, Zycron, in April 2017, Smart in September 2017, and LJK in December 2019, 100% of the equity of EdgeRock in February 2020, and substantially all of the assets of Momentum Solutionz in February 2021. We have continuing operations in two industry segments: Real Estate and Professional. We provide workforce solutions to client partners primarily within the United States of America, across 46 states and D.C.

On March 21, 2022, we completed the sale of substantially all our Light Industrial segment (“InStaff”) assets to Jobandtalent (“J&T”), through their wholly-owned subsidiary, Sentech Engineering Services, Inc. We received approximately $30.3 million at the closing of the sale, and, subject to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, will receive an additional $2 million on the first anniversary of the closing of the transaction, subject to a "true-up" of acquired working capital.

We have classified the related assets and liabilities associated with our Light Industrial segment, InStaff, as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The results of InStaff business have been presented as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. The sale represents a strategic shift in our business that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results.

Our Real Estate segment provides office and maintenance field talent to various apartment communities and commercial buildings currently in 34 states and D.C., via property management companies responsible for the apartment communities' and commercial buildings' day-to-day operations. Our Real Estate segment operates through two divisions, BG Multifamily and BG Talent.
 
Our Professional segment provides skilled field talent on a nationwide basis for IT and finance, accounting, legal and human resource client partner projects. Our Professional segment operates through three divisions, IT Consulting, IT Infrastructure & Development, and Finance and Accounting under various trade names including Extrinsic, American Partners, Donovan & Watkins, Vision Technology Services, Zycron, Smart Resources, L.J. Kushner & Associates, EdgeRock Technology Partners, and Momentum Solutionz.
 
Our business normally experiences seasonal fluctuations. Our quarterly operating results are affected by the number of billing days in a quarter, as well as the seasonality of our client partners’ businesses. Demand for our Real Estate workforce solutions has historically increased in the second quarter and is highest during the third quarter of the year due to the increased turns in multifamily units during the summer months when schools are not in session. Overall first quarter demand can be affected by adverse weather conditions in the winter months. In addition, our cost of services typically increases in the first quarter primarily due to the reset of payroll taxes.

28


Impact of COVID-19

We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and may find it necessary to take actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our team members, field talent, client partners, and stockholders.

Gain on contingent consideration: As a result of the certain business developments in Fiscal 2021, the Company recognized a $1.2 million gain on contingent consideration related to the 2019 LJK acquisition.

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization charges increased approximately $0.1 million (6.5%). The increase in depreciation and amortization is primarily due to the information technology improvement project.

 Interest Expense, net: Interest expense, net decreased primarily due to the pay down of the balance on the existing Term Loan, partially offset by the higher average balance on the Revolving Facility.

Income Tax Expense: Income tax expense increased approximately $0.5 million (100.0%). The higher effective tax rate, in Fiscal 2022, is primarily due to greater state taxes, which were partially offset by the gain on contingent consideration in Fiscal 2021.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
We present Adjusted EBITDA (defined below), a measure that is not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 our management. In addition, the financial covenants in our credit agreement are based on EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement.
 
We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, intangible impairment losses, transaction fees, and certain non-cash expenses such as the gain on contingent consideration and share-based 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’
33


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 from continuing operations 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. 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 from continuing operations 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 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 ongoing operating performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our working capital requirements are primarily driven by field talent payments, tax payments and client partner accounts receivable receipts. Since receipts from client partners lag payments to field talent, working capital requirements increase substantially in periods of growth.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit agreement with BMO Harris Bank, N.A. (“BMO”), that provides for a revolving credit facility maturing July 16, 2024 (the “Revolving Facility”). Our primary uses of cash are payments to field talent, team members, related payroll liabilities, operating expenses, capital expenditures, cash interest, cash taxes, dividends, and contingent consideration and debt payments. We believe that the cash generated from operations, together with the borrowing availability under our Revolving 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 markets 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.
 
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.

The Company has an effective Form S-3 shelf registration statement allowing for the offer and sale of up to approximately $100 million of common stock. There is no guarantee that we will be able to consummate any offering on terms we consider acceptable or at all.

During this period of uncertainty of volatility related to COVID-19, we will continue to monitor our liquidity, particularly payments from our client partners.

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

Operating Activities
 
Cash provided by operating activities consists of net income adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, interest expense on contingent consideration payable, and the effect of working capital changes. The primary drivers of cash inflows and outflows are accounts receivable and accrued payroll and expenses.


35


During Fiscal 2022, net cash provided by continuing operating activities was $1.2 million, an increase of $3.6 million compared with net cash used in continuing operating activities of $2.4 million for Fiscal 2021. This increase is primarily attributable to higher accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and deposits, which were partially offset by disbursements on accrued payroll and expenses and payments of deferred employer FICA for the CARES Act in other current liabilities.

Investing Activities
 
Cash used in investing activities consists primarily of cash paid for businesses acquired and capital expenditures.
 
In Fiscal 2022, we received $30.3 million in connection to the sale of InStaff and we made capital expenditures of $3.5 million mainly related to the IT roadmap and for software and computer equipment purchased in the ordinary course of business. In Fiscal 2021, we paid $3.8 million in connection with the Momentum acquisition and we made capital expenditures of $1.1 million mainly related to software and computer equipment purchased in the ordinary course of business and for the IT roadmap.

Financing Activities
 
Cash flows from financing activities consisted principally of borrowings and payments under our credit agreement and payment of dividends.

For Fiscal 2022, we paid down $26.9 million on the Term Loan, as discussed below, we paid $3.1 million in cash dividends on our common stock, we paid $1.1 million of contingent consideration related to the Momentum acquisition, and borrowed $4.9 million on our Revolving Facility for increased working capital needs. For Fiscal 2021, we borrowed $6.1 million on our Revolving Facility for increased working capital needs and to fund the Momentum acquisition, paid $2.1 million in cash dividends on our common stock, and paid down $0.9 million on the Term Loan, as defined below.

Credit Agreements

On July 16, 2019, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), maturing July 16, 2024, with BMO, as led by BMO, as lead administrative agent, lender, letters of credit issuer, and swing line lender. The Credit Agreement provides for a Revolving Facility permitting us to borrow funds from time to time in an aggregate amount up to $35 million. The Credit Agreement also provided for a term loan commitment (the “Term Loan”) permitting us to borrow funds from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed $30 million with principal payable quarterly, based on an annual percentage of the original principal amount as defined in the Credit Agreement, all of which has been funded. We may from time to time, with a maximum of two, request an increase in the aggregate Term Loan commitment by $40 million, with minimum increases of $10 million. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all our tangible and intangible property. The Credit Agreement bears interest either at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement). We also pay an unused commitment fee on the daily average unused amount of Revolving Facility and Term Loan.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants. We are subject to a maximum Leverage Ratio and a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with these covenants as of June 26, 2022.

On February 8, 2021, we borrowed $3.8 million on the Revolving Facility in conjunction with the closing of the Momentum acquisition. On March 21, 2022, we paid down the balance on the existing Term Loan and a portion of the Revolving Facility using the proceeds from the sale of the Light Industrial segment (See Note 4 - Discontinued Operations, to our accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
Letter of Credit

In March 2020, in conjunction with the 2020 EdgeRock acquisition, we entered into a standby letter of credit arrangement, which expires December 31, 2024, for purposes of protecting a lessor against default on lease payments. As of June 26, 2022, we had a maximum financial exposure from this standby letter of credit totaling $0.1 million, all of which is considered usage against our Revolving Facility.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, estimates, assumptions and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.


Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements.” Please also refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2021 for a more detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies.

We have classified the related assets and liabilities associated with our Light Industrial segment, InStaff, as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The results of InStaff business have been presented as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. The sale represents a strategic shift in our business that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. See “Note 4 — Discontinued Operations” for additional information.

As a result of the future economic uncertainty of COVID-19, we may need to make necessary changes to accounting policy judgments and estimates over time, which could result in meaningful impacts to our financial statements in future periods. Actual results and outcomes may differ from our estimates and assumptions.

The current inflationary environment and related interest rate impacts continue to have significant adverse impact on the economy and market conditions. These factors may impact labor markets by reducing demand for our workforce solutions, increase early terminations, or diminish projects. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected, and could increase our cost of borrowing.

Revenue Recognition

We derive our revenues from continuing operations in Real Estate and Professional segments. We provide workforce solutions and placement services. Revenues are recognized when promised workforce solutions are delivered to client partners, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Revenues as presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income represent workforce solutions rendered to client partners less sales adjustments and allowances. Reimbursements, including those related to out-of-pocket expenses, are also included in revenues, and the related amounts of reimbursable expenses are included in cost of services.

We record revenue on a gross basis as a principal versus on a net basis as an agent in the presentation of revenues and expenses. We have concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because we (i) have the risk of identifying and hiring qualified field talent, (ii) have the discretion to select the field talent and establish their price and duties and (iii) we bear the risk for services that are not fully paid for by client partners.

Workforce solution revenues - Field talent revenues from contracts with client partners are recognized in the amount to which we have a right to invoice, when the services are rendered by our field talent.

Contingent placement revenues - Any revenues associated with workforce solutions that are provided on a contingent basis are recognized once the contingency is resolved, as this is when control transferred to the client partner, usually when employment candidates start their employment.

Retained search placement revenues - Any revenues from these workforce solutions are recognized based on the contractual amount for services completed to date which best depicts the transfer of control of services, which is less than 1% of consolidated revenues.

37


We estimate the effect of placement candidates who do not remain with our client partners through the guarantee period (generally 90 days) based on historical experience. Allowances, recorded as a liability, are established to estimate these losses. Fees to client partners are generally calculated as a percentage of the new worker’s annual compensation. No fees for placement workforce solutions are charged to employment candidates. These assumptions determine the timing of revenue recognition for the reported period.

Payment terms in our contracts vary by the type and location of our client partner and the workforce solutions offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. There were no unsatisfied performance obligations as of June 26, 2022. There were no revenues recognized during the thirteen week period ended June 26, 2022 related to performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods. There are no contract costs capitalized. We did not recognize any contract impairments during the thirteen week period ended June 26, 2022.

Intangible Assets

We hold intangible assets with indefinite and finite lives. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, ranging from three to ten years, based on a pattern in which the economic benefit of the respective intangible asset is realized.

Identifiable intangible assets recognized in conjunction with acquisitions are recorded at fair value. Significant unobservable inputs are 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 are discounted back to their net present value.

We capitalize purchased software and internal payroll costs directly incurred in the modification of software for internal use. Software maintenance and training costs are expensed in the period incurred.

We 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 considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding COVID-19 and its impact on each of the reporting units. We annually evaluate 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 evaluated 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. We considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding COVID-19 and its impact on each of the reporting units. 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 the annual impairment test. We determined there were no impairment indicators for goodwill assets during Fiscal 2022 or Fiscal 2021

Contingent Consideration

We have obligations, to be paid in cash, related to our acquisitions if certain future operating and financial goals are met. The fair value of this contingent consideration is determined using expected cash flows and present value technique. The fair value calculation of the expected future payments uses a discount rate commensurate with the risks of the expected cash flow. The resulting discount is amortized as interest expense over the outstanding period using the effective interest method.

Leases

We lease all their office space through operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2025. Many of the lease agreements obligate us to pay real estate taxes, insurance and certain maintenance costs, which are accounted for separately. Certain of our lease arrangements contain renewal provisions from 3 to 10 years, exercisable at our option. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

38


We determine if an arrangement is an operating lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. All other leases are recorded on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the lease term.

Right of use lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and include options to extend or terminate the lease when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The present value of lease payments is determined primarily using the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date. Our operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Financial Instruments

We use fair value measurements in areas that include, but are not limited to the allocation of purchase price consideration to tangible and identifiable intangible assets, contingent consideration, and interest rate swap agreements. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current assets and liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of bank debt approximates fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rates under the credit agreement with BMO that provides for the revolving credit facility and term loan and current rates available to us for debt with similar terms and risk.

Share-Based Compensation

We recognize compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses over the service period for options or restricted stock 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.

Income Taxes

The current provision for income taxes represents estimated amounts payable or refundable on tax returns filed or to be filed for the year. We recognizes any penalties when necessary as part of selling, general and administrative expenses. As of June 26, 2022, goodwill of $25.7 million, which is limited annually, is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. As a matter of operation, we first calculate the effective tax on continuing operations, and then allocated the remaining taxes to our discontinued operations, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts are classified net as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. The overall change in deferred tax assets and liabilities for the period measures the deferred tax expense or benefit for the period. Effects of changes in enacted tax laws on deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected as adjustments to tax expense in the period of enactment. As of June 26, 2022, we have a $4.6 million net operating loss carry forward from the 2020 EdgeRock acquisition with no expiration date. These net operating losses are subject to an annual Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limitation of $1.3 million.

When appropriate, we will record a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets to offset future tax benefits that may not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is appropriate, we consider whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized, based in part upon management’s judgments regarding future events and past operating results.

We follow the guidance of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a more-likely-than-not measurement methodology to reflect the financial statement impact of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We are exposed to certain market risks from transactions we enter into in the normal course of business. Our primary market risk exposure relates to interest rate and inflation risks. Through the current period, we have been able to moderate the negative impacts of an inflationary market by adjusting our pricing model.

A portion of our Revolving Facility and Term Loan are priced at variable interest rates. Accordingly, future interest rate increases could potentially put us at risk for an adverse impact on future earnings and cash flows.

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 fiscal quarter ended June 26, 2022, 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. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our team members are working remotely due to COVID-19. We are continually monitoring and assessing the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
 
Our management, including our CEO and our CFO, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

No change from the information provided in ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2021.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
In evaluating us and our common stock, we urge you to carefully consider the risks and other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2021 (our “2021 Form 10-K”), and filed with the SEC on March 10, 2022. Any of the risks discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or any of the risks disclosed in Item 1A. of Part I of our 2021 Form 10-K, as well as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

The following information is added as a second paragraph under the heading "Risk Factors - A downturn of the U.S. or global economy could result in our client partners using fewer workforce solutions or becoming unable to pay us for our services on a timely basis or at all, which would materially adversely affect our business” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2021:

In addition, the current inflationary environment and related interest rate impacts continue to have significant adverse impact on the economy and market conditions. These factors may impact labor markets by reducing demand for our workforce solutions, increasing early terminations, or diminishing projects. As a result, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be negatively affected.
