TEAMSTAFF, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2007 (Unaudited)
(1) Organization and business:
TeamStaff, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (‘‘TeamStaff’’ or the ‘‘Company’’), was founded in 1969 as a payroll service company and evolved into a national provider of payroll and temporary and permanent medical and administrative staffing services. TeamStaff has offices located in Clearwater, Florida; Memphis, Tennessee; Monroe, Georgia; Atlanta, Georgia; and Somerset, New Jersey.
When we use the term ‘‘TeamStaff,’’ or the ‘‘Company’’ we mean TeamStaff and its subsidiaries. Currently, we operate only through the parent corporation, TeamStaff, Inc., and TeamStaff Rx, Inc. (including its Nursing Innovations division) and RS Staffing Services, Inc., two wholly-owned subsidiaries of TeamStaff Inc. TeamStaff’s other wholly-owned subsidiaries include DSI Staff ConnXions Northeast, Inc., DSI Staff ConnXions Southwest, Inc., TeamStaff Solutions, Inc., TeamStaff I, Inc., TeamStaff II, Inc., TeamStaff III, Inc., TeamStaff IV, Inc., TeamStaff VIII, Inc., TeamStaff IX, Inc., Digital Insurance Services, Inc., HR2, Inc. and BrightLane.com, Inc. As a result of the sale of our Professional Employer Organization (‘‘PEO’’) business in fiscal year 2004 and other Company business changes, these ‘‘other’’ subsidiaries are not actively operating.
TeamStaff provides specialized medical, nursing and administrative staffing services. TeamStaff provides allied healthcare and nursing professionals and administrative personnel through three staffing units. The Company’s TeamStaff Rx, Inc. subsidiary operates throughout the United States and specializes in providing allied medical employees and nurses, especially ‘‘travel’’ staff (typically on a thirteen-week assignment basis). Allied medical staff includes MRI technicians, mammographers, dosimetrists, ultrasound staff and physicists. TeamStaff Rx, Inc. places temporary employees for over 200 client facilities. TeamStaff Rx Inc.’s Nursing Innovations unit provides travel nursing, per diem nursing, temporary-to-permanent nursing and permanent nursing placement services. Nursing Innovations places temporary employees at over 130 client facilities. The Company’s RS Staffing Services, Inc. subsidiary specializes in providing medical and office administration/technical professionals through nationwide Schedule contracts with both the General Services Administration and Veterans Affairs. RS Staffing Services, Inc. places temporary employees at over 75 facilities.
TeamStaff, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey on November 25, 1969 and maintains its principal executive office at 1545 Peachtree Street, N.E., Suite 340, Atlanta, Georgia 30309 where its telephone number is (866) 352-5304.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by TeamStaff, without audit, pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. TeamStaff believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in TeamStaff’s latest annual report on Form 10-K. This financial information reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) to present fairly the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TeamStaff, Inc., and its subsidiaries as of the date of acquisition, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassed to conform to current period presentation.

(2) significant accounting policies:
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Affecting the Company
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure, on an item-by-item basis, specified financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are required to be reported in earnings at each reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the provisions of which are required to be applied prospectively. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and is still evaluating the effect, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
From October 1, 2005 through May 31, 2006, TeamStaff operated two different lines of business from which it derived substantially all of its revenue: temporary and permanent staffing and payroll services. Effective May 31, 2006, TeamStaff sold substantially all of the assets of its DSI Payroll Services division (see Note 5), and as a result, as of May 31, 2006 TeamStaff operated in only one segment, which is the temporary and permanent medical and administrative staffing business.
TeamStaff accounts for its revenues in accordance with EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenues Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, and SAB 104, Revenue Recognition. TeamStaff recognizes all amounts billed to its temporary staffing customers as gross revenue because, among other things, TeamStaff is the primary obligor in the temporary staffing arrangement; TeamStaff has pricing latitude; TeamStaff selects temporary employees for a given assignment from a broad pool of individuals; TeamStaff is at risk for the payment of its direct costs; and, TeamStaff assumes a significant amount of other risks and liabilities as an employer of its temporary employees, and therefore, is deemed to be a principal in regard to these services. TeamStaff also recognizes as gross revenue and as unbilled receivables, on an accrual basis, any such amounts that relate to services performed by temporary employees which have not yet been billed to the customer as of the end of the accounting period.
Staffing (whether medical or administrative) revenue is recognized as service is rendered. TeamStaff bills its clients based on an hourly rate. The hourly rate is intended to cover TeamStaff’s direct labor costs of the temporary employees, plus an estimate to cover overhead expenses and a profit margin. Additionally, commissions from permanent placements are included in revenue related to Medical Staffing. Commissions from permanent placements result from the successful placement of a medical staffing employee to a customer’s workforce as a permanent employee.
In connection with the Company’s discontinued payroll services operation, payroll services revenue was recognized as service was rendered and consisted primarily of administrative service fees charged to clients for the processing of paychecks as well as the preparation of quarterly and annual payroll related reports. These amounts are reflected as part of income (loss) from discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.
Direct costs of services are reflected in TeamStaff’s Statement of Operations as ‘‘direct expenses’’ and are reflective of the type of revenue being generated. Direct costs of the temporary staffing business include wages, employment related taxes and reimbursable expenses. In connection with the Company’s discontinued payroll services operation, payroll services’ direct costs include salaries and supplies associated with the processing of the payroll service.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the ‘‘2006 Plan’’), which is shareholder approved, permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance awards or other stock unit awards (collectively, ‘‘Awards’’) of up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock to all employees and non-employee directors. All Awards under the 2006 Plan are granted at the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date.
9
The Company’s 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan (the ‘‘2000 Plan’’), which is shareholder approved, permits the grant of options to purchase up to 1,714,286 shares of common stock to all employees as stock compensation. All stock options under the 2000 Plan are granted at the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Employee stock options vest ratably over a two-year period and expire 5 years from the grant date.
The Company’s 2000 Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan (the ‘‘Director Plan’’), which is shareholder approved, permits the grant of options to non-employee directors of TeamStaff. Under the terms of the Director Plan, each non-executive director is automatically granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares upon joining the Board and each September lst, pro rata, based on the time the director has served in such capacity during the previous year. The Director Plan also provides that directors, upon joining the Board, and for one (1) year thereafter, will be entitled to purchase restricted stock from TeamStaff at a price equal to 80% of the closing bid price on the date of purchase up to an aggregate purchase price of $50,000.
Effective January 19, 2007, the Board of Directors agreed to change Board member stock compensation as follows:
Each non-employee Board member will receive an initial grant under the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan of 15,000 shares of restricted stock following the 2007 annual meeting of shareholders. Additionally, for each Board committee on which such non-employee Board member serves, the Board member will receive a grant of 2,500 shares of restricted stock following the 2007 annual meeting of shareholders. Fifty percent (50%) of all such shares of restricted stock shall vest when the volume-weighted average share price of the Company’s common stock over any twenty consecutive trading days exceeds the price on the date of grant by 20%, with the remaining fifty percent (50%) vesting one year thereafter. Future annual grants shall be determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee.
Effective October 1, 2005, the Company’s stock based compensation plans are accounted for in accordance with the recognition and measurement provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (‘‘FAS’’) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (‘‘FAS 123(R)’’), which replaces FAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion (‘‘APB’’) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. FAS 123 (R) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions, including employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements. In addition, the Company adheres to the guidance set forth within Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’) Staff Accounting Bulletin (‘‘SAB’’) No. 107, which provides the Staff’s views regarding the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides interpretations with respect to the valuation of share-based payments for public companies.
Prior to October 1, 2005, the Company accounted for similar transactions in accordance with APB No. 25 which employed the intrinsic value method of measuring compensation cost. Accordingly, compensation expense was not recognized for fixed stock options if the exercise price of the option equaled or exceeded the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date.
While FAS No. 123 encouraged recognition of the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant as expense over the vesting period, companies were permitted to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB No. 25 and disclose certain pro-forma amounts as if the fair value approach of SFAS No. 123 had been applied. In December 2002, FAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of SFAS No. 123, was issued, which, in addition to providing alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, required more prominent pro-forma disclosures in both the annual and interim financial statements. The Company complied with these disclosure requirements for all applicable periods prior to October 1, 2005.
In adopting FAS 123(R), the Company applied the modified prospective approach to transition. Under the modified prospective approach, the provisions of FAS 123(R) are to be applied to new
10
awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date shall be recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date. The compensation cost for that portion of awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for either recognition or pro-forma disclosures under FAS 123. Stock option compensation expense in 2007 and 2006 is the estimated fair value of options granted amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire portion of the award. As a result of the adoption of FAS 123(R), the Company’s results for the three and six month period ended March 31, 2007 include share-based compensation expense totaling approximately $2,000 and $5,000, respectively. The Company’s results for the three and six month period ended March 31, 2006 include share-based compensation expense totaling approximately $5,000 and $10,000, respectively. Such amounts have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations within operating expenses. The Company recognized related tax benefits associated with its share-based compensation arrangements totaling approximately $1,000 and $2,000, respectively, for the three and six month period ended March 31, 2007. The Company recognized related tax benefits associated with its share-based compensation arrangements totaling approximately $2,000 and $4,000, respectively, for the three and six month period ended March 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2007, approximately $4,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock option awards is expected to be recognized during the remainder of the current fiscal year.
During the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, TeamStaff did not grant any options, no options expired, 62,000 options were cancelled unexercised and no options were exercised.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities.
In accordance with SFAS 128, the following table reconciles basic shares outstanding to fully diluted shares outstanding:

Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between income and expenses reported for financial reporting and tax reporting. The Company is required to record a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax assets to the amount that it believes is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company historically had considered all positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and recent financial performance. The Company determined that the negative evidence, including historic and current taxable losses, as well as uncertainties related to the ability to utilize certain Federal and state net loss carry forwards, outweighed any objectively verifiable positive factors, and as such, concluded that a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset was necessary in fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2006, the deferred tax asset was reduced by $16.9 million with a corresponding adjustment to the provision for income taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recorded approximately $0.4 million in additional valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset related to current taxable losses, with a corresponding adjustment to the provision for income taxes. For the six months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recorded approximately $0.5 million in additional valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset related to current taxable losses, with a corresponding adjustment to the provision for income taxes. The net carrying value of the deferred tax asset was $0 at September 30, 2006 and as of March 31, 2007. The establishment of the deferred tax asset allowance does not preclude the Company from reversing a portion or all of the allowance in future periods if the Company believes the positive evidence is sufficient enough to utilize at least a portion of the deferred tax asset, nor does it limit the ability to utilize losses for tax purposes, subject to loss carry-forward limitations and periods permitted by tax law.
The Company has available approximately $28.3 in net operating loss carry forwards that expire at various dates through 2025.
12
Accumulated Comprehensive Loss and Minimum Pension Liability Adjustment
A minimum pension liability adjustment is required when the actuarial present value of accumulated benefit obligation exceeds the plan assets and accrued pension liabilities. The minimum pension liability adjustment, net of income taxes, is recorded as a component of ‘‘Accumulated comprehensive income’’ on the balance sheet and is reflected in Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as ‘‘Minimum pension liability adjustment, net of tax’’. The Company used a discount rate of 3.0% each to calculate the projected benefit obligation and the periodic benefit cost calculation for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007. The Company recorded a gain from such adjustment, net of tax of $15,000 and $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company recorded a gain from such adjustment, net of tax of $38,000 and $50,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, accumulated comprehensive loss on the balance sheet reflects the cumulative balance due to the minimum pension liability adjustment.
(3) RECENT EVENTS:
On April 17, 2007, a Federal Grand Jury subpoena was issued by the Northern District of Illinois to RS Staffing Services, Inc. (‘‘RS Staffing’’) requesting production of certain documents dating back to 1997. According to the cover letter accompanying the subpoena, the U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, along with members of the Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General are responsible for the current criminal investigation. The subpoena states that it is issued in connection with an investigation of possible violations of federal criminal laws and related crimes concerning procurement at the Veterans Administration. RS Staffing provides temporary staffing at certain Veterans Administration hospitals that may be part of the investigation. The return date for documents called for by the subpoena is May 17, 2007. In connection with the same investigation, agents with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Inspector General, executed a search warrant at the Monroe, Georgia offices of RS Staffing. The Company has been advised that neither it nor RS Staffing is currently a target of the investigation. The Company is actively cooperating with the government’s investigation.
The Company originally acquired RS Staffing in May of 2005 and is reviewing its rights to seek indemnification from the sellers for costs that may be incurred in connection with the investigation.
(4) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:
Acquisition of RS Staffing Services, Inc.
On June 8, 2005 TeamStaff, Inc. completed its acquisition of RS Staffing, a privately held Georgia corporation, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of May 26, 2005. RS Staffing, headquartered in Monroe, GA, specializes in providing medical and office administration/
technical professionals through nationwide Schedule contracts with both the General Services Administration (‘‘GSA’’) and Veterans Affairs (‘‘VA’’). Closing of the transaction was completed for accounting purposes as of June 4, 2005. TeamStaff acquired all of the capital stock of RS Staffing for a purchase price of $8 million consisting of $3.25 million in cash, $3 million in a 2-year note, and $1.75 million in TeamStaff common stock (1,206,896 shares). The shares are restricted shares and can only be sold in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. The Sellers guaranteed a minimum net worth of $1.4 million and any amounts above or below this amount after a finalized accounting at one year post acquisition, were subject to a purchase price adjustment. As a result, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, a downward purchase price adjustment in the amount of approximately $132,000 was made and deducted from the amount due under the first installment of the note payable. In addition, there was a one-year earn out of up to $2.0 million based upon the achievement of specified performance targets for the business. The performance targets were met and the Company made payment of the full amount on August 14, 2006. Principals of RS Staffing, namely Roger Staggs and Barry Durham, initially continued as management of RS Staffing pursuant to employment agreements with each of them. Barry Durham resigned his position effective as of
13
December, 2005. Roger Staggs’ employment agreement expired on June 4, 2006 and was not renewed. The acquisition agreement also provided for mutual indemnification for breaches of representations and warranties. Further, the note issued by TeamStaff as part of the purchase price bears interest at 5% per annum, of which one half has been paid and the remainder is payable in June 2007, and is secured by a lien on certain assets of the business, subordinate to any liens granted in connection with financing for the transaction. The Company paid $1.5 million of the note payable plus accrued interest of $150,000 on June 8, 2006. In connection with the acquisition, TeamStaff obtained financing from PNC Bank, National Association (‘‘PNC Bank’’).
The following table summarizes the revised estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

(5) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
Disposal of DSI Payroll Services
Effective May 31, 2006, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its DSI Payroll Services (‘‘DSI’’) division to CompuPay, Inc. (‘‘CompuPay’’) for $9.0 million. The general terms of the transaction were an all-cash sale for $9.0 million, subject to an escrow of $250,000 for potential post-closing contingencies. On November 30, 2006, CompuPay released $125,000 of the escrow to TeamStaff and is scheduled to release the remaining escrow on May 31, 2007. The agreement called for minimum working capital requirements that resulted in a purchase price adjustment of $248,677, which was paid to TeamStaff on September 11, 2006. The agreement also included a transition agreement whereby CompuPay would sublease certain office space at DSI’s current location from TeamStaff, Inc., among other standard agreements.
Net revenues for the payroll services segment during the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 were $1.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and due to the sale of DSI, there were no revenues during the three and six months ended March 31, 2007.

(6) COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCY:
Payroll Taxes
TeamStaff has received notices from the Internal Revenue Service (‘‘IRS’’) claiming taxes, interest and penalties due related to payroll taxes predominantly from its former PEO operations. TeamStaff has also received notices from the IRS reporting overpayments of taxes. Management believes that these notices are predominantly the result of misapplication of payroll tax payments between its legal entities. If not resolved favorably, the Company may incur interest and penalties. Until the sale of certain PEO assets in November, 2003, TeamStaff operated through 17 subsidiaries, and management believes that the IRS has not correctly identified payments made through certain of the different entities, therefore leading to the notices. To date, TeamStaff has been working with the IRS to resolve these discrepancies and has had certain interest and penalty claims abated. TeamStaff has also received notices from the Social Security Administration claiming variances in wage reporting compared to IRS transcripts. TeamStaff believes the notices from the Social Security Administration are directly related to the IRS notices received. TeamStaff has retained the services of Ernst & Young LLP as a consultant to assist it in resolving certain of these matters with the IRS and Social Security Administration. TeamStaff believes that after the IRS applies all the funds correctly, any significant interest and penalties will be abated; however, there can be no assurance that each of these matters will be resolved favorably.
(7) WORKERS’ COMPENSATION:
Prepaid Workers’ Compensation
TeamStaff’s current workers’ compensation insurance program is provided by Zurich American Insurance Company (‘‘Zurich’’). This program covers TeamStaff’s temporary employees and its corporate employees. The program is managed by Cedar Hill and GAB Robins provides claims handling services. This program is a fully insured, guaranteed cost program that contains no deductible or retention feature. The premium for the program is paid monthly based upon actual payroll and is subject to a policy year-end audit.
As part of the Company’s discontinued PEO operations, TeamStaff had a workers’ compensation program with Zurich, which covered the period from March 22, 2002 through November 17, 2003, inclusive. Payments for the policy were made to the trust monthly based on projected claims for the policy period. Interest on all assets held in the trust is credited to TeamStaff. Payments for claims and claims expenses are made from the trust. Assets in the trust may be adjusted from time to time based on program experience. On March 3, 2006, Zurich reduced the collateral requirements on outstanding workers’ compensation claims and released $2.25 million in trust account funds back to TeamStaff. On March 5, 2007, Zurich further reduced the collateral requirements on outstanding workers’ compensation claims and released an additional $0.76 million in trust account funds back to TeamStaff. After the release of these trust account funds, Zurich further reviewed the collateral requirements on outstanding worker’s compensation claims and on April 3, 2007, subsequent to the balance sheet date, released an additional $0.43 million in trust account funds back to TeamStaff. TeamStaff estimates that at March 31, 2007, the remaining prepaid asset of $0.7 million (which includes the $0.43 million received on April 3, 2007,) will be received within the next twelve months. This is reflected on TeamStaff’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2007 as a current asset.
As of March 31, 2007 the adequacy of the workers’ compensation reserves was determined, in management’s opinion, to be reasonable. In determining our reserves we rely in part upon information
15
regarding loss data received from our workers’ compensation insurance carriers that may include loss data for claims incurred during prior policy periods. In addition, these reserves are for claims that have not been sufficiently developed due to their relatively young age, and such variables as timing of payments and investment returns thereon are uncertain or unknown, therefore actual results may vary from current estimates. TeamStaff will continue to monitor the development of these reserves, the actual payments made against the claims incurred, the timing of these payments, the interest accumulated in TeamStaff’s prepayments and adjust the reserves as deemed appropriate.
(8) DEBT:
In connection with the acquisition of RS Staffing (see Note 4), TeamStaff secured financing with PNC Bank in the form of a $7.0 million revolving credit facility. The credit facility was provided by PNC Bank effective on June 8, 2005 to (i) provide for the acquisition of RS Staffing; (ii) refinance an outstanding senior loan facility; and (iii) provide ongoing working capital. Effective February 13, 2006, TeamStaff entered into an amendment to the revolving credit note, increasing the revolving credit facility to $8.0 million. Revolving credit advances under the credit facility bear interest at either a PNC Bank internal rate that approximates the Prime Rate plus 25 basis points or LIBOR plus 275 basis points, whichever is higher. The facility has a three-year life and contains term and line of credit borrowing options. The facility is subject to certain restrictive covenants includinga fixed charge coverage ratio if the Company fails to maintain invested cash and line availability minimum requirements. For the period ended March 31, 2007, TeamStaff was in compliance with all loan covenants. The facility is subject to acceleration upon non-payment or various other standard default clauses. In addition, the Company granted PNC Bank a lien and security interest on all of its assets. The facility was paid off with the proceeds from the sale of DSI on May 31, 2006 and the line was not drawn upon subsequently until February 8, 2007. At March 31, 2007, there was no debt outstanding under the credit facility and $5.9 million of unused availability under the line, based on billed accounts receivable. The average daily outstanding balance from February 8, 2007 through March 31, 2007, was $0.07 million. The weighted average interest rate on advances from February 8, 2007 through March 31, 2007 was 8.5% for balances not subject to LIBOR. The interest rate effective at March 31, 2007 was 8.5%.
In connection with the acquisition of RS Staffing, TeamStaff issued two promissory notes to the former owners of RS Staffing as part of the acquisition price, in the aggregate principal amount of $3.0 million. The notes bear interest at 5% per annum, and are subordinate to the financing provided by PNC Bank described above. One half of the principal and interest was due on June 8, 2006 and payment was made in the amount of $1.65 million. The remaining principal and interest is due in June 2007.
Long-term debt from continuing operations at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006 consists of the following-

(9) STOCK WARRANTS:
During the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, no warrants were issued, no warrants expired unexercised and no warrants were exercised. There were 598,000 warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2007. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, no warrants were issued, no warrants expired unexercised and no warrants were exercised. During the six months ended March 31, 2006, no warrants were issued, 10,000 warrants expired unexercised, and no warrants were exercised. There were 614,000 warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2006.
16
(10) SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN:
Effective October 1, 2000, TeamStaff adopted a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (‘‘SERP’’) covering certain TeamStaff corporate officers. TeamStaff’s former President and Chief Executive Officer and its former Chief Financial Officer were the only SERP participants. No current employees are covered under SERP. SERP participants also were provided with a split dollar life insurance policy, insuring the life of the participant. Each participant collaterally assigned his policy to TeamStaff to secure repayment of policy premiums. In connection with the change in their employment status, TeamStaff engaged in negotiations with its former President and Chief Executive Officer and the former Chief Financial Officer regarding the payment of certain severance benefits and the satisfaction of TeamStaff’s obligations to each of them under SERP and the split dollar life insurance arrangements.
On December 31, 2003, TeamStaff executed an agreement with its former President and Chief Executive Officer pursuant to which TeamStaff agreed to, among other things, release the collateral assignment of the split dollar life insurance policy as of December 31, 2003 and to accelerate the payment of certain agreed upon payments under SERP in complete satisfaction of TeamStaff’s obligations under SERP.
TeamStaff entered into a similar agreement with its former Chief Financial Officer effective as of December 30, 2003 in complete satisfaction of TeamStaff’s obligations under the SERP. That agreement also provided for the payment of severance and other benefits over time in complete satisfaction of TeamStaff’s obligations to its former Chief Financial Officer under his severance agreement effective May 22, 2002.
Cash payments aggregating $0.2 million have been made to the former President and Chief Executive Officer and the former Chief Financial Officer during the first six months of fiscal 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
TeamStaff believes the accounting policies below represent its critical accounting policies due to the significance or estimation process involved in each. See Note 2 of TeamStaff’s 2006 annual report on Form 10-K as well as ‘‘Critical Accounting Policies’’ contained therein for a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition
From October 1, 2005 through May 31, 2006, TeamStaff operated two different lines of business from which it derived substantially all of its revenue: temporary and permanent staffing and payroll services. Effective May 31, 2006, TeamStaff sold substantially all of the assets of its DSI division (see Note 5), and as a result, TeamStaff now operates in only one segment, which is the temporary and permanent medical and administrative staffing business.
TeamStaff accounts for its revenues in accordance with EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenues Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent and SAB 104, Revenue Recognition. TeamStaff recognizes all amounts billed to its temporary staffing customers as gross revenue because, among other things, TeamStaff is the primary obligor in the temporary staffing arrangement; TeamStaff has pricing latitude; TeamStaff selects temporary employees for a given assignment from a broad pool of individuals; TeamStaff is at risk for the payment of its direct costs; and TeamStaff assumes a significant amount of other risks and liabilities as an employer of its temporary employees, and therefore, is deemed to be a principal in regard to these services. TeamStaff also recognizes as gross revenue and as unbilled receivables, on an accrual basis, any such amounts that relate to services performed by temporary employees which have not yet been billed to the customer as of the end of the accounting period.
Staffing (whether medical or administrative) revenue is recognized as service is rendered. TeamStaff bills its clients based on an hourly rate. The hourly rate is intended to cover TeamStaff’s direct labor costs of the temporary employees, plus an estimate to cover overhead expenses and a profit margin. Additionally, commissions from permanent placements are included in revenue related to Medical Staffing. Commissions from permanent placements result from the successful placement of a medical staffing employee to a customer’s workforce as a permanent employee.
In connection with the Company’s discontinued payroll services operation, payroll services revenue was recognized as service was rendered and consisted primarily of administrative service fees charged to clients for the processing of paychecks as well as the preparation of quarterly and annual payroll related reports. These amounts are reflected as part of income (loss) from discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.
Direct costs of services are reflected in TeamStaff’s Statement of Operations as ‘‘direct expenses’’ and are reflective of the type of revenue being generated. Direct costs of the temporary staffing business include wages, employment related taxes and reimbursable expenses. In connection with the Company’s discontinued payroll services operation, payroll services’ direct costs include salaries and supplies associated with the processing of the payroll service.

Workers’ Compensation
Prepaid Workers’ Compensation
TeamStaff’s current workers’ compensation insurance program is provided by Zurich American Insurance Company (‘‘Zurich’’). This program covers TeamStaff’s temporary employees and its corporate employees. The program is managed by Cedar Hill and GAB Robins provides claims handling services. This program is a fully insured, guaranteed cost program that contains no deductible or retention feature. The premium for the program is paid monthly based upon actual payroll and is subject to a policy year-end audit.
As part of the Company’s discontinued PEO operations, TeamStaff had a workers’ compensation program with Zurich, which covered the period from March 22, 2002 through November 17, 2003, inclusive. Payments for the policy were made to the trust monthly based on projected claims for the policy period. Interest on all assets held in the trust is credited to TeamStaff. Payments for claims and claims expenses are made from the trust. Assets in the trust may be adjusted from time to time based on program experience. On March 3, 2006, Zurich reduced the collateral requirements on outstanding workers’ compensation claims and released $2.25 million in trust account funds back to TeamStaff. On March 5, 2007, Zurich further reduced the collateral requirements on outstanding workers’ compensation claims and released an additional $0.76 million in trust account funds back to TeamStaff. After the release of these trust account funds, Zurich further reviewed the collateral requirements on outstanding worker’s compensation claims and on April 3, 2007, subsequent to the balance sheet date, released an additional $0.43 million in trust account funds back to TeamStaff. TeamStaff estimates that at March 31, 2007, the remaining prepaid asset of $0.7 million (which includes the $0.43 million received on April 3, 2007,) will be received within the next twelve months. This is reflected on TeamStaff’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2007 as a current asset.
As of March 31, 2007 the adequacy of the workers’ compensation reserves was determined, in management’s opinion, to be reasonable. In determining our reserves we rely in part upon information regarding loss data received from our workers’ compensation insurance carriers that may include loss data for claims incurred during prior policy periods. In addition, these reserves are for claims that have not been sufficiently developed due to their relatively young age, and such variables as timing of payments and investment returns thereon are uncertain or unknown, therefore actual results may vary from current estimates. TeamStaff will continue to monitor the development of these reserves, the actual payments made against the claims incurred, the timing of these payments, the interest accumulated in TeamStaff’s prepayments and adjust the reserves as deemed appropriate.
Deferred Taxes
TeamStaff accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, ‘‘Accounting for Income Taxes.’’ Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reflected on the balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized. SFAS No. 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
At March 31, 2007, the Company provided a 100% deferred tax valuation allowance of approximately $17.4 million. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company historically has considered all positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and recent financial performance. The Company determined that negative evidence, including historic and current taxable losses, as well as uncertainties related to the ability to utilize certain Federal and state net loss carry forwards, outweighed any objectively verifiable positive factors, and as such, concluded that a valuation allowance was necessary. The Company is providing a 100% valuation allowance that it is more likely than not that it will not be able to realize the full benefit of the deferred tax asset. The establishment
20
of the deferred tax asset allowance does not preclude the Company from reversing any or all of the allowance in future periods if the Company believes the positive evidence is sufficient enough to utilize the deferred tax asset, nor does it limit the ability to utilize losses for tax purposes, subject to loss carry forward limitations and periods permitted by law.
Results of Continuing Operations
TeamStaff’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $17.8 million and $18.5 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $0.7 million, or 3.7%, from second fiscal quarter 2006 to second fiscal quarter 2007. All revenues are related to the staffing services divisions. Revenues for the second fiscal quarter 2007 and 2006 include $11.2 million and $10.9 million, respectively, related to the RS Staffing subsidiary. This acquisition, effective as of June 2005, helped offset a decrease of $0.9 million in the revenues of the travel allied and nursing portion (‘‘travel’’) of our staffing services division from second fiscal quarter 2006 to second fiscal quarter 2007.
TeamStaff’s revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $35.3 million and $37.9 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $2.6 million, or 6.8%, from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2007. All revenues relate to the staffing services division. Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006include $22.3 million and $21.9 million, respectively, related to RS Staffing.
The Company’s travel allied and nursing divisions continued to under perform the market during the second fiscal quarter of 2007. In response to this, in January 2007, the Company restructured its senior management and its Board of Directors in an effort to reduce expenses and restructure its operations, to accelerate revenue growth and contribute to a return to profitability. In connection with the restructuring, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, T. Kent Smith, resigned effective January 8, 2007. Mr. Smith also resigned from the Board of Directors. Rick J. Filippelli, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer and also retained his position as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Filippelli was also elected to the Board of Directors. James D. Houston, the Company’s General Counsel, Vice President of Business and Legal Affairs and Corporate Secretary, was also appointed to the position of Chief Operating Officer. Effective April 30, 2007, subsequent to the balance sheet date, Mr. Houston’s employment with the Company was terminated. Additional members of the senior management team that resigned in January 2007 were James Donahue, Vice President of Sales and Marketing and President of TeamStaff Rx, Peter Rosen, Vice President of Human Resources and Robert Traficanti, Vice President of Nursing Innovations.
The Company is leading several initiatives to position the staffing services divisions for growth in fiscal 2007. Sales initiatives include assessing, restructuring and adding to its sales force and recruiting efforts, restructuring sales force incentive compensation to better reflect pay for performance and implementation of a pricing and gross margin improvement plan. As part of a marketing initiative, the Company has contracted with an advertising agency to launch an aggressive ad campaign to attract travelers. The Company seeks continued elimination of overhead costs deemed to be non-essential to growth or infrastructure. On March 15, 2007, the Company hired a Director of Sales and Marketing to oversee the allied and nursing sales efforts.
Longer term, we continue to believe the demand for temporary medical personnel will increase. Key drivers in our business segment include the declining health of an aging population, advances in medical technology and growth in hospital admissions. We believe demand will also increase as more states introduce legislation for mandatory minimum caregiver-to-patient ratios and overtime limitations. The introduction of such legislation should favorably impact our temporary nurse staffing business. Our acquisition of RS Staffing completed in early June 2005 gives us a strong presence in the government sector and provides us with an opportunity to bid on awards for large multi-year contracts with solid operating margins. We continue to focus on our sales and marketing efforts throughout the divisions in order to increase our contact with current and prospective clients.
Direct expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $15.1 million and $15.4 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $0.3 million, or 1.6%, from second fiscal
21
quarter 2006 to second fiscal quarter 2007. This decrease is a direct result of decreased revenues. As a percentage of revenue, direct expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were 85.3% and 83.4%, respectively. Direct expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $30.0 million and $31.6 million, respectively, which represents an decrease of $1.6 million, or 5.0%, from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2007. As a percentage of revenue, direct expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were 84.9% and 83.3%, respectively.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $2.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $0.5 million, or 14.4 %, from second fiscal quarter 2006 to second fiscal quarter 2007. This decrease is attributable to the decline in revenues. Gross profit, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 14.6% from 16.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $5.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively, which represents an decrease of $1.0 million, or 15.5%, from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2007. Gross profit, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 15.0% in fiscal year 2007 from 16.6% in fiscal year 2006. This decrease is primarily due to RS Staffing comprising a larger percentage of total revenue in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006. The gross profit calculation includes costs paid to RS Staffing teaming partners (subcontractors) that are included as a direct expense. Teaming partners (subcontractors) is a business practice expected by government entities who prefer their suppliers to provide more of a master vendor service where the supplier looks to outside sources when needed to fill open staffing positions.
Selling, general and administrative (‘‘SG&A’’) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 remained approximately the same at $3.5 million. Included in SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2007 is approximately $0.3 million in accrued severance costs related to the management restructuring that occurred during the quarter. SG&A expenses, as a percentage of revenue, were 19.8% and 19.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. SG&A expenses for the six months ended March 31,2007 and 2006 were $6.8 million and $7.2 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $0.4 million, or 5.7% from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2007. Adjusting for the $0.3 million of severance included in the second fiscal quarter of 2007, SG&A expenses for the current fiscal year decreased by approximately $0.7 million or nine percent.
Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $86,000 and $91,000, respectively. Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $177,000 and $182,000, respectively.
Other income, which primarily consists of late fee income, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $46,000 and $39,000, respectively, which represents an increase of $7,000. Other income for the six months ended March 31,2007 and 2007 was approximately $97,000 and $78,000, respectively, representing an increase of $19,000. Late fee income is earned only in the allied healthcare division.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $56,000 and $193,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $137,000. Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $113,000 and $368,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $255,000. This decrease is primarily due to the pay off of the revolving credit facility with the proceeds from the sale of DSI on May 31, 2006. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $11,000 and $8,000, respectively, representing an increase of $3,000. Interest income for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $34,000 and $11,000 respectively, representing an increase of $23,000. This increase is a result of interest earned on the cash proceeds of the sale of the DSI division.
The income tax benefit from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $0.01 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Income tax benefit from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. As a component of this net tax benefit, the Company provided a deferred tax valuation allowance for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 of $0.4 million and $0.5 million,
22
respectively. The Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance that it is more likely than not that it will not be able to realize the full benefit of the deferred tax asset. These tax benefits are a result of losses from operations.
Loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $1.0 million, or $(0.05) per fully diluted share, as compared to loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 of $0.5 million, or $(0.02) per fully diluted share. Loss from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was $1.5 million, or $(0.08) per fully diluted share, as compared to loss from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2006 of $0.9 million, or $(0.04) per fully diluted share.
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $0.03 million, with no effect on earnings per share. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per fully diluted share. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was $0.02 million, with no effect on earnings per share. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the six months ended March 31, 2006 was $0.6 million, or $0.03 per fully diluted share. Income from discontinued operations in fiscal 2006 is primarily a result of a reclassification of the profitable operations of the DSI division to discontinued operations.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $1.0 million, or $(0.05) per fully diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $0.2 million, or $(0.01) per fully diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was $1.5 million, or $(0.08) per fully diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $0.2 million, or $(0.01) per fully diluted share, for the six months ended March 31, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was $1.8 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $0.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006. Losses from continuing operations as well as increased accounts receivable and decreased current liabilities contributed to the use of cash during the six months ended March 31, 2007. This was partially offset by $0.76 million in cash received from Zurich related to the reduction in collateral requirements on outstanding workers’ compensation claims.
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was $0.04 million compared to $0.08 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006. Use of cash for investing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2007 was primarily for the purchase of telephone and technology equipment.
Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2007 approximated zero. Cash used in financing activities was $0.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006, primarily for principal payments made on notes payable for the financing of insurance premiums.
Effective June 8, 2005, TeamStaff entered into a $7.0 million revolving credit facility provided by PNC Bank to (i) provide for the acquisition of RS Staffing; (ii) refinance an outstanding senior loan facility; and (iii) provide ongoing working capital. Effective February 13, 2006, TeamStaff entered into an amendment to the revolving credit note, increasing the revolving credit facility to $8.0 million. Revolving credit advances bear interest at either the Prime Rate plus 25 basis points or LIBOR plus 275 basis points, whichever is higher. The facility has a three-year life and contains term and line of credit borrowing options. The facility is subject to certain restrictive covenants including a fixed charge coverage ratio if the Company fails to maintain invested cash and line availability minimum requirements. For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, TeamStaff was in compliance with all loan covenants. The facility is subject to acceleration upon non-payment or various other standard default clauses. In addition, the Company granted PNC Bank a lien and security interest on all of its assets. As of March 31, 2007, there was no debt outstanding under the credit facility and $5.9 million of unused availability under the line of credit, based on billed accounts receivable.
Availability under the PNC Bank line of credit is directly related to the successful assignment of certain accounts receivable. Certain government accounts of RS Staffing are required to execute
23
‘‘Acknowledgements of Assignment.’’ There can be no assurance that every RS Staffing government account will execute the documentation to effectuate the assignment and secure availability. The failure of government third parties to sign the required documentation could result in a decrease in availability under the line of credit.
As of March 31, 2007, TeamStaff had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $0.3 million and net accounts receivable of $9.1 million. TeamStaff also had $5.9 million of unused availability under the revolving credit facility provided by PNC Bank. As of March 31, 2007, TeamStaff had working capital of $3.0 million. The Company is in discussions with its lender, PNC Bank, regarding possible amendments to its revolving credit facility. The Company is reliant upon the credit facility to provide sufficient liquidity over the next twelve months.

All accrued and unused vacation time will carry over from year-to-year until used. Mr. Filippelli will notify the Company’s Compensation Committee annually of amounts being carried over. In all other respects, the Filippelli Agreement remains in full force and effect and applicable to Mr. Filippelli’s employment. In the case of any conflict between the modification letter and the Filippelli Agreement, the letter will control.
Subsequent to the balance sheet date, effective April 30, 2007, the employment of James D. Houston, Chief Operating Officer, Vice President and General Counsel with the Company was terminated. On May 11, 2007, TeamStaff, Inc. and James D. Houston entered into a formal separation agreement related to Mr. Houston’s termination effective April 30, 2007. The material terms of the agreement provide: (a) TeamStaff will pay Mr. Houston the sum of $220,000 representing one year of base salary, in accordance with the terms and conditions of paragraph 5.3(d) of his 2005 Severance Agreement (the ‘‘Agreement’’); (b) TeamStaff will pay Mr. Houston the sum of $89,024 on August 1, 2007, representing a 2007 pro rata bonus, in accordance with the terms and conditions of paragraph 5.3(d) of the Agreement; and (c) Mr. Houston will receive Continuation Benefits (as defined in the Agreement) for standard employee health benefits until March 31, 2008. The agreement provides for other immaterial consideration, mutual and general releases and other standard legal covenants.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are, in the opinion of management, likely to have a current or future material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Effects of Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on TeamStaff’s net revenues and results of operations, as TeamStaff has been able to modify its prices and cost structure to respond to inflation and changing prices.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
TeamStaff does not undertake trading practices in securities or other financial instruments and therefore does not have any material exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or other similar risks, which might otherwise result from such practices. TeamStaff is not materially subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, commodity prices or other market rates or prices from market sensitive instruments. TeamStaff has a material interest rate risk with respect to our prior workers’ compensation programs. In connection with TeamStaff’s prior workers’ compensation programs, prepayments of future claims were deposited into trust funds for possible future payments of these claims in accordance with the policies. The interest income resulting from these prepayments is for the benefit of TeamStaff, and is used to offset workers’ compensation expense. If interest rates in these periods decrease, TeamStaff’s workers’ compensation expense would
25
increase because TeamStaff would be entitled to less interest income on the deposited funds. Further, and as discussed elsewhere in this filing, TeamStaff, Inc. has an $8.0 million revolving credit facility by PNC Bank. Revolving credit advances bear interest at either the Prime Rate plus 25 basis points or LIBOR plus 275 basis points, whichever is higher. The facility has a three-year life and contains term and line of credit borrowing options. The facility is subject to certain restrictive covenants, including minimum combined cash and line availability. The facility is subject to acceleration upon non-payment or various other standard default clauses. Material increases in the Prime or LIBOR rate could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, the status of the revolving credit facility as well as interest costs.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of ‘‘disclosure controls and procedures’’ in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in designing and evaluating the controls and procedures.
Based on their evaluation, as of March 31, 2007, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Company’s second quarter ended March 31, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
As previously disclosed, effective January 8, 2006, T. Kent Smith, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer resigned. Rick J. Filippelli, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer and retained his position as Chief Financial Officer.
Part II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On April 17, 2007, a Federal Grand Jury subpoena was issued by the Northern District of Illinois to RS Staffing requesting production of certain documents dating back to 1997. According to the cover letter accompanying the subpoena, the U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, along with members of the Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General are responsible for the current criminal investigation. The subpoena states that it is issued in connection with an investigation of possible violations of federal criminal laws and related crimes concerning procurement at the Veterans Administration. RS Staffing provides temporary staffing at certain Veterans Administration hospitals that may be part of the investigation. The return date for documents called for by the subpoena is May 17, 2007. In connection with the same investigation, agents with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Inspector General, executed a search warrant at the Monroe, Georgia offices of RS Staffing. The Company has been advised that neither it nor RS Staffing is currently a target of the investigation. The Company is actively cooperating with the government’s investigation. The Company originally acquired RS Staffing in May of 2005 and is reviewing its rights to seek indemnification from the sellers for costs that may be incurred in connection with the investigation.
26
In July 2000, TeamStaff made claims for indemnification against the selling shareholders of the TeamStaff Companies (the ‘‘Sellers’’), which were acquired by TeamStaff in January 1999. The claims consisted of various potential liabilities and expenses incurred based on breaches of representations and warranties contained in the acquisition agreement. The Sellers disputed these claims and attempted to assert claims of their own. On January 12, 2001, TeamStaff entered into a settlement agreement with the Sellers. Under the settlement agreement, the Sellers agreed to be liable and responsible for certain potential liabilities estimated at approximately $0.5 million and agreed that 55,000 shares of TeamStaff common stock, which had been held in escrow since the acquisition, were to be cancelled. TeamStaff also agreed to release 29,915 escrow shares to the Sellers. TeamStaff retains 75,000 shares in escrow to provide security for the Seller’s obligations. Each party agreed to release each other from all other claims under the acquisition agreements. No third parties have contacted TeamStaff seeking payment in the last fiscal year for these potential liabilities. In the event that TeamStaff incurs liability to third parties with respect to the claims, TeamStaff would declare an event of default under the settlement agreement and seek collection from the Sellers.
As a commercial enterprise and employer and with respect to its employment-related businesses in particular, TeamStaff is engaged in litigation from time to time during the ordinary course of business in connection with employment-relations issues, workers’ compensation and other matters. Generally, TeamStaff is entitled to indemnification or repayment from its former PEO clients for claims brought by worksite employees related to their employment. However, there can be no assurance that the client employer will have funds or insurance in amounts to cover any damages or awards, and as co-employer, TeamStaff may be subject to liability. Additionally, in connection with its medical staffing business, TeamStaff is exposed to potential liability for the acts, errors or omissions of its temporary medical employees. The professional liability insurance policy provides up to $5,000,000 aggregate coverage with a $2,000,000 per occurrence limit. Although TeamStaff believes the liability insurance is reasonable under the circumstances to protect it from liability for such claims, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be adequate to cover all potential claims.
TeamStaff is engaged in no other litigation, the effect of which would be anticipated to have a material adverse impact on TeamStaff’s financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
Refer to the September 30, 2006 Form 10-K. The Company believes that there have not been any material changes from risk factors as previously disclosed in the registrant’s Form 10-K in response to Item 1A to Part 1 of Form 10-K, other than the addition of the following two risk factors:
We are dependent upon certain of our management personnel.
Our performance to date has resulted in part from the contributions of the Company’s executive officers. Our present executive officers are expected to make important contributions towards improved future performance. The loss of our key personnel could materially affect our operations. Competition for qualified management personnel is intense, and in the event that we experience further turnover in senior management positions, we cannot assure you that we will be able to recruit suitable replacements on a timely basis. We must also successfully integrate all new management and other key positions within our organization to achieve our operating objectives. Even if we are successful, further turnover in key management positions could temporarily harm our financial performance and results of operations until any new management becomes familiar with our business. As previously disclosed, effective January 8, 2006, T. Kent Smith, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer resigned. Rick J. Filippelli, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer and retained his position as Chief Financial Officer. The Company is dependent on Mr. Filippelli as its sole executive officer presently, and the loss of Mr. Filippelli could temporarily or permanently harm our financial performance and results of operations until we are able to recruit suitable replacements, if ever, and such new management becomes familiar with our business, if ever. Other than with our CEO and CFO, we generally do not have long-term employment contracts with our key personnel, nor do we maintain ‘‘key person’’ life insurance policies on any of our key personnel.

We are dependent on the proper functioning of our information systems.
We are dependent on the proper functioning of our information systems in operating our business. Critical information systems used in daily operations identify and match staffing resources and client assignments and perform billing and accounts receivable functions. Additionally, we rely on our information systems in managing our accounting and financial reporting. Although we have risk mitigation measures in place, our information systems and our access to these systems are not impervious to flood, fire, storm, power loss, telecommunications failures or similar events. If our information systems fail or are otherwise unavailable, our business and financial results could be materially adversely affected.
