ITEM 1. BUSINESS
INTRODUCTION
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 temporary and permanent medical and
administrative staffing services. Effective October 23, 2007, TeamStaffs corporate headquarters
is in Somerset, New Jersey. Previously, the Companys corporate headquarters was located in
Atlanta, Georgia and a since discontinued unit was based in Memphis, Tennessee. TeamStaff has
offices located in Clearwater, Florida; Loganville, Georgia; and Somerset, New Jersey.
When we use the term TeamStaff, the Company, we, us and our we mean TeamStaff, Inc. and
its wholly owned subsidiaries. Currently, we operate only through the parent corporation,
TeamStaff, Inc., and TeamStaff Rx, Inc. (TeamStaff Rx) and TeamStaff Government Solutions, Inc.
(TeamStaff GS), two wholly-owned subsidiaries of TeamStaff, Inc. On February 12, 2008, the
Company announced the name change of RS Staffing Services, Inc., a Loganville, Georgia-based
provider of medical and office administration/technical professionals acquired in June 2005, to
TeamStaff Government Solutions, Inc. The name change reflects the subsidiarys expanding service
offerings in providing staffing for government logistical support positions through its United
States General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule, as well as providing medical and office
administration/technical professionals through nationwide Federal Supply Schedule (FSS)
contracts. TeamStaffs 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, logistics and administrative staffing services by
supplying allied healthcare and nursing professionals, logistics and administrative personnel
through two staffing subsidiaries. The Companys TeamStaff Rx subsidiary, a Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) certified healthcare staffing firm, operates
throughout the United States and specializes in providing travel allied medical employees and
nurses (typically on a thirteen-week assignment basis), as well as permanent placement services.
Allied medical staff includes MRI technicians, mammographers, physical therapists, occupational
therapists, dosimetrists, ultrasound staff and physicists. TeamStaff Rx places temporary employees
at approximately
225 client facilities. The Companys TeamStaff GS subsidiary specializes in providing medical,
office administration, logistics and technical professionals through FSS contracts with both the
GSA and United States Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA). TeamStaff GS places temporary
employees at approximately 40 facilities.

TeamStaff was organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey on November 25, 1969 and
maintains its principal executive office at 1 Executive Drive, Suite 130, Somerset, New Jersey
08873 where its telephone number is (877) 523-9897.
SERVICES
As a part of its continuing operations, TeamStaff provides staffing services through its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, TeamStaff Rx and TeamStaff GS.
Staffing Services
TeamStaff provides specialized medical, nursing, logistics and administrative staffing services by
supplying allied healthcare and nursing professionals, logistics and administrative personnel
through two staffing subsidiaries. The Companys TeamStaff Rx subsidiary operates throughout the
United States and specializes in providing travel allied medical employees and nurses (typically on
a thirteen-week assignment basis), as well as permanent placement services. Allied medical staff
includes MRI technicians, mammographers, physical therapists, occupational therapists,
dosimetrists, ultrasound staff and physicists. TeamStaff Rx places temporary employees at
approximately 225 client facilities. The Companys TeamStaff GS subsidiary specializes in providing
medical and office administration/technical professionals through FSS contracts with both the GSA
and DVA. TeamStaff GS places temporary employees at approximately 40 facilities.
TeamStaff Rx has more than 25 years of experience in placing temporary and permanent employees with
specialized skills and talents to regional and national medical facilities. Temporary medical
staffing enables clients to attain management and productivity goals by matching highly trained
professional and technical personnel to specific staffing requirements. During the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2008, this unit generated $14.1 million of revenue.
TeamStaff Rx focuses its allied health staffing services in all national markets, and seeks to
place employees on temporary long-term assignments or on a permanent basis. TeamStaff Rx employs
allied health professionals such as radiological technologists, MRI techs, CT techs, diagnostic
sonographers, cardiovascular technologists, radiation therapists, dosimetrists, and physicists and
places these professionals in hospitals, clinics and therapy centers throughout the United States.
TeamStaff Rx also provides travel nursing, temporary-to-permanent nursing and permanent nursing
placement services. TeamStaff Rx provides a full complement of specialized nurses to fill the needs
of its clients. Clients whose staff requirements vary dramatically depending on patient census and
in-house turnover levels are therefore able to secure the services of qualified individuals on an
interim basis, while better managing cost-to-hire and time-to-hire criteria. Hiring travel
nurses plays a key role in the facilities plan to meet their core and long-term staffing needs.
TeamStaff Rxs clients are dependent on temporary staffing to supplement various internal
departments for staffing shortages due to vacations, medical leaves, core vacancies and other
causes. Our Companys operating units fill our clients needs by providing qualified personnel on
a weekly, monthly, quarterly or longer basis, depending upon a clients particular staffing
objectives. TeamStaff Rx also provides targeted recruiting and placement for clients for permanent
employees. Additionally, if an employee on temporary assignment is hired by the client on a
permanent basis, TeamStaff Rx usually receives a recruitment fee from that client.
TeamStaff GSs primary client has been the United States Government and its various agencies.
TeamStaff GS provides contract staffing solutions for government agencies in the categories of
medical, professional, office administration, general services support, facility management and
logistics support. Through its FSS contracts with both the GSA and the DVA, TeamStaff GS offers the
ease of ordering directly through one of its multiple-award contracts and through multiple
procurement vehicles and schedules. These include the Logistics World schedule and the Professional
and Allied Healthcare schedules as well as the ability to order through the GSAs e-Buy system.
TeamStaff GS also provides technology for online timesheets, reporting, ordering and invoicing as
well as a provision of qualified personnel which can be based on any term assignment or contract.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, this unit generated $59.2 million of revenue.
2
TeamStaffs entire complement of staffing services provide clients the ability to right size;
that is, to expand or reduce their workforces in response to changing business conditions. The
Company believes that these services provide numerous benefits to its clients, such as saving the
costs of salary and benefits of a permanent employee whose services are not needed throughout the
year. The clients also avoid the costs, uncertainty and delays associated with searches for
qualified interim employees. TeamStaffs temporary staffing services also allow a client to avoid
administrative responsibility for payroll, payroll taxes, workers compensation, unemployment and
medical benefits for interim employees.
The Company believes that its temporary staffing services provide a client with an increased pool
of qualified personnel. Since TeamStaffs temporary staffing employees have access to a wide array
of benefits, such as paid time off, health and life insurance, Section 125 premium conversion plans
and 401(k) retirement savings plans, TeamStaff believes it is able to attract a sufficient pool of
qualified personnel to grow this business. These benefits provide temporary employees with the
motivation of permanent workers without additional benefit and administrative costs to the client.
The current shortage in the availability of certain allied health and nursing personnel, along with
the advent of certain patient protection measures, does, in managements opinion, bode well for the
long term dynamics of the medical staffing industry and for the Company. TeamStaff Rx believes
that it is in a pivotal position to increase its market share based on its reputation and
experience in the temporary medical staffing industry. TeamStaff GS has achieved positive results
in expanding its penetration of DVA facilities through vertical expansion of previously awarded
contracts. The Company is expanding its reach within the government sector beyond VA opportunities
by bidding on Department of Defense (DOD) staffing contracts afforded to large businesses and
GSAs e-Buy portal, an electronic Request for Quote (RFQ) / Request for Proposal (RFP) system
designed to allow Federal buyers to request information, find sources, and prepare RFQs/RFPs,
online, for various services offered through GSAs Multiple Award Schedule. Additionally,
TeamStaff GS is evaluating opportunities to satisfy the staffing needs of other government agencies
in addition to the DVA and DOD as a means of horizontal expansion of its client base.
Government Contracts
The U.S. Government is the primary customer to our TeamStaff GS subsidiary. Many of the U.S.
Government programs in which we participate as a contractor or subcontractor may extend for several
years. However, such programs are normally funded on an annual basis. All U.S. Government contracts
and subcontracts may be modified, curtailed or terminated at the convenience of the government for
any reason, including if program requirements or budgetary constraints change. If a contract is
terminated for convenience, we would generally be reimbursed for our allowable costs through the
date of termination and would be paid a proportionate amount of the stipulated profit or fee
attributable to the work actually performed. Although contract and program modifications,
curtailments or terminations have not had a material adverse effect on the business of TeamStaff GS
in the past, no assurance can be given that such modifications, curtailments or terminations will
not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in the
future. In addition, the U.S. Government may terminate a contract for default. Although the U.S.
Government has never terminated any of TeamStaff GSs contracts for default, such a termination
could have a significant impact on our business. If a contract is terminated for default, we may be
unable to recover amounts billed or billable under the contract and may be liable for other costs
and damages. The U.S. Government contract bid process is complex and sometimes lengthy. Once a bid
is won and a contract awarded, there still is the possibility of a bid protest or numerous delays
in implementation. There can be no assurance that such protest process or implementation delays
will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows in the future.
CUSTOMERS
As of September 30, 2008, TeamStaffs combined customer base consisted of approximately 265
staffing clients. All of the customers of our TeamStaff Rx subsidiary are engaged in the
healthcare industry. Substantially all of the business of our TeamStaff GS subsidiary is
accomplished through contracts with various agencies of the United States Government. In fiscal
2008, through its FSS contracts primarily with the DVA, TeamStaff GS had two customers who
comprised 31% and 14% of the Companys overall
consolidated revenue. In fiscal 2008, TeamStaff Rx had one client who individually comprised
greater than 5% of the subsidiarys revenue. In fiscal 2008, TeamStaff GS had five clients who
each individually comprised greater than 5% of the subsidiarys revenue.

SALES AND MARKETING
TeamStaff maintains healthcare and government staffing sales, service and marketing personnel in
Tucson, Arizona; Clearwater, Florida; Loganville, Georgia; Hines, Illinois; Leavenworth, Kansas;
Boston, Massachusetts; Biloxi, Mississippi; Muskogee, Oklahoma; Murfreesboro, Tennessee; and
Charleston, South Carolina.
Through our business units, TeamStaff continues to build sales through both telemarketing efforts
and face-to-face client interactions. Communicating with our clients on a regular basis allows us
to form a trusted, working relationship which enables us to better serve and deliver the most
qualified candidates.
TeamStaff Rx received Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO)
certification in February 2008, which serves to validate the Companys hiring practices and our
commitment to providing quality healthcare services. The Company believes this Gold Seal is
critical in maximizing additional recruiting and sales opportunities. Efforts to build marketing
presence include the launching of new TeamStaff Rx, TeamStaff GS and corporate websites,
implementing a print advertisement campaign, and revising our strategic marketing communications
plan in an effort to attract allied medical and nurse travelers. During the year, we also added
several marketing events to our tradeshow calendar in order to increase our brand recognition.
This added exposure is allowing us to introduce our suite of offerings to an expanded market. We
continue to focus on our sales and marketing efforts throughout our operating divisions in order to
increase our contact with current and prospective clients. During fiscal 2008 we completed a
corporate branding campaign which promotes consistency and brand recognition as well as increases
TeamStaffs visibility in the marketplace. In February 2008 we announced the renaming of RS
Staffing Services, the Companys government staffing subsidiary, to TeamStaff Government Solutions.
The name change reflects the subsidiarys expanding service offerings in providing staffing for
government logistical support positions. TeamStaff GS 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
favorable operating margins. In late September 2008, the Company hired Dale West as President of
its TeamStaff Rx subsidiary. Ms. West is the former President and a founder of RN Network.
COMPETITION
The primary competitors in our staffing business are AMN Healthcare Services, Inc., Cross Country
Healthcare, Inc., CHG Healthcare Services, Inc., Medical Staffing Network Holdings, Inc.,
Nursefinders, Inc. and Maxim Healthcare Services Inc. TeamStaff competes with these companies by
offering customized products, personalized service, competitive prices and specialized personnel to
satisfy a clients particular requirements. The Company believes that its broad scope of services
and its commitment to quality service differentiate it from its competition. Further, the Company
believes that TeamStaff GSs knowledge and processes with respect to government contract bidding
represents a competitive advantage.
INDUSTRY/GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Introduction
Federal and state laws materially affect TeamStaffs operations. These laws relate to labor, tax
and employment matters. As an employer, TeamStaff is subject to all federal statutes and
regulations governing its employer-employee relationships. The development of additional statutes
and regulations and interpretation of existing statutes and regulations with respect to the
alternative staffing industry can be expected to evolve over time. TeamStaff cannot predict with
certainty the nature or direction of the development of federal, state and local statutes and
regulations.
Federal and State Employment Taxes
TeamStaff assumes the sole responsibility and liability for the payment of federal and state
employment taxes with respect to wages and salaries paid to its employees, including its temporary
staffing employees. There are essentially three types of federal employment tax obligations: (i)
withholding of income tax requirements; (ii) obligations under the Federal Insurance Contribution
Act (FICA); and, (iii) obligations under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act. Under these statutes,
employers have the obligation to withhold and remit the employer portion and, where applicable, the
employee portion of these taxes.
4
Employee Benefit Plans
TeamStaff offers various employee benefit plans to its full-time employees and temporary staffing
employees. These plans include a 401(k) Plan (a profit-sharing plan with a cash or deferred
arrangement, or CODA), under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 401(k)), a Section 125 plan,
group health plans, group dental insurance, vision insurance, a group life insurance plan and a
group disability insurance plan. Generally, employee benefit plans are subject to provisions of
both the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). TeamStaff also makes a
variety of voluntary insurance products available to its employees, which its employees may
purchase through payroll deductions.
In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the IRC, the plans must be established and
maintained by an employer for the exclusive benefit of its employees. In addition to the
employer/employee threshold, pension and profit-sharing plans, including plans that offer CODAs
under IRC Section 401(k) and matching contributions under IRC Section 401(m), must satisfy certain
other requirements under the IRC. These other requirements are generally designed to prevent
discrimination in favor of highly compensated employees to the detriment of non-highly compensated
employees with respect to both the availability of, and the benefits, rights and features offered
in qualified employee benefit plans.
Employee pension and welfare benefit plans are also governed by ERISA. ERISA defines employer as
any person acting directly as an employer, or indirectly in the interest of an employer, in
relation to an employee benefit plan. ERISA defines the term employee as any individual
employed by an employer.
State Regulation
As an employer, TeamStaff is subject to all federal, state and local statutes and regulations
governing the employer-employee relationship. Additionally, an increasing number of states have
adopted or are considering adopting licensing or registration requirements that affect TeamStaffs
temporary medical staffing and permanent placement business. These license and registration
requirements generally provide for an evaluation of the operators background and integrity and
periodic or ongoing monitoring of the medical staffing firms policies and practices. As required
by state regulation, TeamStaff Rx is licensed or registered for its temporary allied healthcare
staffing services in the following jurisdictions: Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, North Carolina
and Rhode Island. TeamStaff Rx is licensed or registered for its temporary nursing business in
California, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina and
Washington and has a license application pending in Washington, D.C. TeamStaff Rx is licensed or
registered for its permanent placement business in the District of Columbia and New Jersey. The
Company continues to review applicable statutes and regulations and prepare appropriate
applications for filing.
Information and Technology Systems
Throughout fiscal year 2008 the Company has made many positive technology-related changes. The
core infrastructure has been replaced with a state of the art network, including all new hardware.
It is a much more stable and scalable platform, offering the ability to seamlessly integrate with
other networks. The new network also enables on demand network file restoration, saving time and
resources. Another added benefit of the new network is the ability to perform real-time
synchronization of data across multiple locations, increasing response time and streamlining the
Disaster Recovery process.
Other accomplishments include the implementation of site to site VPNs, supporting the companywide
phone system standardization utilizing VoIP phones. This allows for direct extension dialing and
interoffice chat, opening the lines of communication between the sites while reducing
telecommunication expenses. Additionally, the Atlanta datacenter was moved to and consolidated with
our Clearwater Data Center. This allows IT staff to centrally manage our systems for multiple
locations, while reducing operating costs.
The database migration/consolidation completed in fiscal 2007 has given us the ability to integrate
our websites with our database. In fiscal 2008, we took advantage of this option by launching a
fully integrated online employment application. Looking forward, we plan to increase our level of
web integration with our database.
5
Loan Facility
On March 28, 2008, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of
March 28, 2008 with Business Alliance Capital Company (BACC), a division of Sovereign Bank (the
Lender). Effective April 1, 2008, BACC changed its name to Sovereign Business Capital.
Under the Loan Agreement, the Lender agreed to provide a revolving credit facility to the Company
in an aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000, subject to the further terms and conditions of the Loan
Agreement. The loan is secured by a first priority lien on all of the Companys assets. Previously
in 2005, the Company and PNC Bank, National Association (PNC) had entered into a $8,000,000
revolving credit facility (PNC Loan Facility). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Lender (i)
acquired by assignment from PNC all right, title and interest of PNC under the PNC Loan Facility,
the PNC note and related loan documentation, and (ii) restructured the PNC Loan Facility into a
$3,000,000 3 year revolving credit facility. The Companys ability to request loan advances under
the Loan Agreement is subject to computation of the Companys advance limit and compliance with the
covenants and conditions of the loan. The loan is for a term of 36 months and matures on March 31,
2011. Interest on the loan accrues on the daily unpaid balance of the loan advances at a per annum
rate of 0.25% percentage point above the Prime Rate in effect from time to time, but not less than
5.5% per annum.
The Loan Agreement requires compliance with customary covenants and restrictions on the Companys
ability to, among other things, dispose of certain assets, engage in certain transactions, incur
indebtedness and pay dividends. The Loan Agreement also provides for customary events of default
following which, the Lender may, at its option, accelerate the amounts outstanding under the Loan
Agreement. As of September 30, 2008, there was no debt outstanding under the Loan Agreement and
unused availability (as defined) totaled $1.8 million, net of required collateral reserves per the
Loan Agreement for certain payroll and tax liabilities. As of September 30, 2008, TeamStaff had
working capital of $2.4 million.
Disposition of Assets
On January 31, 2008, the Company and its TeamStaff Rx subsidiary, completed the sale of its per
diem nurse staffing business located in Memphis, Tennessee and operating under the name of Nursing
Innovations, to Temps, Inc. Under the terms of the definitive Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of
January 29, 2008, the Company received a cash purchase price of $447,000 for the acquired business
and related assets. Of this amount, however, $90,000 of the purchase price was escrowed for a
period of six months from the closing date. Payment of the escrowed amount to us was subject to the
downward adjustment for the amount of pre-closing accounts receivables uncollected by the purchaser
during such six-month period. On September 2, 2008 Temps, Inc. released approximately $89,000
escrow to Teamstaff.
Employees
As of September 30, 2008, TeamStaff employed 64 corporate (non worksite) employees, both full-time
and part-time, including executive officers, a decrease from 98 during the previous fiscal year. As
of September 30, 2008, TeamStaff also employed approximately 995 temporary employees on client
assignments. TeamStaff believes its relationship with its current employees is satisfactory. None
of TeamStaffs employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
RISK FACTORS
As provided for under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (1995 Reform Act), we
wish to caution shareholders and investors that the following important factors, among others
discussed throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008,
have affected, and in some cases could affect, our actual results of operation and cause our
results to differ materially from those anticipated in forward looking statements made herein. Our
business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected
due to any of the following risks. The risks described below are not the only ones we face.
Additional risks we are not presently aware of or that we currently believe are immaterial may also
impair our business operations. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of
these risks. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information contained or
incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial
statements and related notes.
6
Safe Harbor Statement
Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the 1995 Reform Act. TeamStaff desires to avail itself of certain safe harbor provisions of the
1995 Reform Act and is therefore including this special note to enable it to do so.
Forward-looking statements included in this Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended September 30,
2008 involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause
TeamStaffs actual results, performance (financial or operating) or achievements to differ from the
future results, performance (financial or operating) or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such future results are based upon managements best estimates based
upon current conditions and the most recent results of operations. These risks include, but are
not limited to, the risks identified below.
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our shareholders and potential
shareholders. There may be events in the future, however, that we are not accurately able to
predict or over which we have no control. The risk factors listed below, as well as any cautionary
language in this filing, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our
actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking
statements. You should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described in the risk
factors below, elsewhere in this filing and other events that we have not predicted or assessed
could have a material adverse effect on our earnings, financial condition, cash flows or business.
In such case, the price of our securities could decline.
Risks Relating to Our Business and Our Industry
A substantial percentage of TeamStaff GSs revenue is from U.S. Government customers.
We derive a substantial portion of our revenues in our TeamStaff GS subsidiary from the U.S.
Government as a prime contractor or a subcontractor. Revenues from the U.S. Government represented
approximately 98% of the total revenues of TeamStaff GS in fiscal year 2008 and 95% in fiscal year
2007. Further, in fiscal 2008, through its FSS contracts primarily with the DVA, TeamStaff GS had
two customers who comprised 31% and 14% of the
Companys overall consolidated revenue. Accordingly, our consolidated revenues could be adversely
impacted by a reduction in the overall level of U.S. Government spending and by changes in its
spending priorities from year to year. Furthermore, even if the overall level of U.S. Government
spending does increase or remains stable, the budgets of the government agencies with whom we do
business may be decreased or our projects with them may not be sufficiently funded, particularly
because Congress usually appropriates funds for a given project on a fiscal-year basis even though
contract performance may take more than one year. In the event the budgets of the U.S. Government
entities with which do business, particularly the DVA, are decreased or underfunded, our
consolidated revenues and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition,
obtaining U.S. Government contracts remains a highly competitive process and this has led to a
greater portion of our revenue base being associated with contracts providing for a lower amount of
reimbursable cost than we have traditionally been able to recover.
We are heavily dependent upon the U.S. Government as the primary customer to our TeamStaff GS
subsidiary. Our future success and revenue growth will depend in part upon our ability to continue
to expand our customer base.
We face risks relating to U.S. Government contracts because these contracts may be terminated at
will.
The U.S. Government may modify, curtail or terminate our contracts. Many of the U.S. Government
programs in which we participate as a contractor or subcontractor may extend for several years.
However, these programs are normally funded on an annual basis. The U.S. Government may modify,
curtail or terminate its contracts and subcontracts at its convenience. Modification, curtailment
or termination of our major programs or contracts could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial condition.
Our business is subject to potential U.S. Government inquiries and investigations. We are from time
to time subject to certain U.S. Government inquiries and investigations of our business practices
due to our participation in government contracts. We cannot assure you that any such inquiry or
investigation will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial
condition.
7
Our contract costs are subject to audits by U.S. Government agencies. From time to time, U.S.
Government representatives may audit costs incurred on our U.S. Government contracts, including
allocated indirect costs. These
audits may result in adjustments to our contract costs. In the event that it is determined that our
payments from Government agencies was in excess of contractual costs, we could be assessed for
these excess payments. We would expect that we would normally negotiate with U.S. Government
representatives before settling on final adjustments to our contract costs. However, we do not know
the outcome of any future audits and adjustments and we may be required to reduce our revenues or
profits upon completion and final negotiation of these audits.
The U.S. Government contract bid process is complex and sometimes lengthy, subject to protest and
implementation delays. The U.S. Government contract bid process is complex and sometimes lengthy.
Once a bid is won and a contract awarded, there still is the possibility of a bid protest or
numerous delays in implementation. There can be no assurance that such protest process or
implementation delays will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results
of operations in the future.
We are dependent upon certain of our management personnel.
Our success to date has resulted in part from the significant contributions of our executive
officers. Our executive officers are expected to continue to make important contributions to our
success. The loss of our key personnel could materially affect our operations. Currently, our CEO,
CFO and the Presidents of TeamStaff GS and TeamStaff Rx subsidiaries are under employment
contracts. The Company does not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our key
personnel.
Our medical staffing business may be adversely affected due to the impact of the economic downturn
in the healthcare industry.
Our medical staffing business is concentrated entirely in the healthcare industry. The economic
downturn in the last four years caused a reduction in our clients utilization of our services.
Any continued, concentrated or renewed economic weakness generally, or in the healthcare industry
specifically, could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
Unfavorable economic conditions could harm our business.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be affected by various economic
factors. Unfavorable economic conditions may make it more difficult for us to maintain and continue
our revenue growth. In an economic recession or under other adverse economic conditions, customers
and vendors may be more likely to be unable to meet contractual terms or their payment obligations.
A decline in economic conditions may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our business may be adversely affected due to economic conditions in specific geographic markets.
A significant portion of our revenues are derived from California, Georgia and Tennessee with
respect to allied healthcare and nurse staffing with respect to TeamStaff Rx, and Illinois, Kansas,
South Carolina and Tennessee with respect to TeamStaff GS. While we believe that our market
diversification will eventually lessen this risk in addition to generating significant revenue
growth, we may not be able to duplicate in other markets the revenue growth and operating results
experienced in the listed markets.
Our financial condition may be affected by increases in health insurance premiums, unemployment
taxes and workers compensation rates.
Health insurance premiums, state unemployment taxes and workers compensation rates are in part
determined by our claims experience and comprise a significant portion of our direct costs. If we
experience a large increase in claim activity, our health insurance premiums, unemployment taxes or
workers compensation rates could increase. Although we employ internal and external risk
management procedures in an attempt to manage our claims incidence and estimate claims expenses and
structure our benefit contracts to provide as much cost stability as possible, we may not be able
to prevent increases in claim activity, accurately estimate our claims expenses or pass the cost of
such increases on to our clients. Since our ability to incorporate such increases into our fees to
our clients is constrained by contractual arrangements with our clients, a delay could occur before
such increases could be reflected in our fees, which may reduce our profit margin. As a result,
such increases could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations and liquidity.
8
Our financial condition may be affected by risks associated with our health and workers
compensation claims experience.
Although we utilize only fully insured plans of health care and incur no direct risk of loss under
those plans, the premiums that we pay for health care and workers compensation insurance are
directly affected by our claims experience, including the claims experience of our off-site
temporary employees. If this experience is unfavorable, the premiums that are payable by us will
increase or coverage may become unavailable altogether. We may not be able to pass such increases
onto our clients, which may reduce our profit margins. Increasing health care and workers
compensation premiums could also place us at a disadvantage in competing for new clients. In
addition, periodic reassessments of workers compensation claims of prior periods (when TeamStaff
was covered under large deductible-type plans) may require an increase or decrease to our reserves,
and therefore may also affect our present and future financial condition.
If unfavorable government regulations regarding temporary and permanent staffing are implemented,
or if current regulations are changed, our business could be harmed.
Because many of the laws related to the employment relationship were enacted prior to the
development of alternative staffing businesses, many of these laws do not specifically address the
obligations and responsibilities of non-traditional employers. Numerous federal, state and local
laws and regulations relating to labor, tax, insurance and employment matters affect our
operations. Many states require licensure or registration of entities providing temporary health
care or nursing services as well as those offering permanent placement services. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to comply with any such regulations, which may be imposed upon us
now or in the future, and our inability to comply with any such regulations could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, there can be no
assurance that existing laws and regulations which are not currently applicable to us will not be
interpreted more broadly in the future to apply to our existing activities or that new laws and
regulations will not be enacted with respect to our activities. Either of these changes could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
liquidity.
We may not be able to obtain all of the licenses and certifications that we need to operate.
State authorities regulate the temporary medical staffing and permanent placement industry and some
states require us to satisfy operating, licensing or certification requirements. If we are unable
to obtain or maintain all of the required licenses or certifications that we need, we could
experience material adverse effects to our results of operations, financial condition and
liquidity.
Health care reform could impose unexpected burdens on our ability to conduct our business.
Regulation in the health care field continues to evolve, and we cannot predict what additional
government regulations affecting our business may be adopted in the future. Changes in any of these
laws or regulations may adversely impact the demand for our services, require that we develop new
or modified services to meet the demands of the marketplace, or require that we modify the fees
that we charge for our services. Any such changes may adversely impact our competitiveness and
financial condition.
We bear the risk of nonpayment from our clients and the possible effects of bankruptcy filings by
clients.
To the extent that any particular client experiences financial difficulty, or is otherwise unable
to meet its obligations as they become due, our financial condition and results of operations could
be adversely affected. For work performed prior to the termination of a client agreement, we may be
obligated, as an employer, to pay the gross salaries and wages of our temporary medical employees
and the related employment taxes and workers compensation costs, whether or not our client pays us
on a timely basis, or at all. A significant increase in our uncollected account receivables may
have a material adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows and financial condition.
9
We may be held liable for the actions of our temporary employees and therefore incur unforeseen
liabilities.
A number of legal issues with respect to the employment arrangements among temporary staffing
firms, their clients and temporary employees remain unresolved. These issues include who bears the
ultimate liability for violations of employment and discrimination laws. As a result of our
employer status, we may be liable for violations of these or other laws despite contractual
protections. While our client service agreements generally provide that the client is to indemnify
us for any liability caused by the clients failure to comply with its contractual obligations and
the requirements imposed by law, we may not be able to collect on such a contractual
indemnification claim and may then be responsible for satisfying such liabilities. In addition,
temporary employees may be deemed to be our agents, which could make us liable for their actions.
Our staffing of healthcare professionals exposes us to potential malpractice liability.
Through our TeamStaff Rx and TeamStaff GS subsidiaries, we engage in the business of providing
temporary healthcare professionals. The placement of such employees increases our potential
liability for negligence and professional malpractice of those employees. Although we are covered
by professional malpractice liability insurance in the aggregate amount of $5.0 million with a $2.0
million per occurrence limit, which we deem reasonable under the circumstances, not all of the
potential liability we face may be fully covered by insurance. Any significant adverse claim, which
is not covered by insurance, may have a material adverse effect on us.
We may not be fully covered by the insurance we procure.
Although we carry liability insurance, the insurance we purchase may not be sufficient to cover any
judgments, settlements or costs relating to any present or future claims, suits or complaints. In
addition, sufficient insurance may not be available to us in the future on satisfactory terms or at
all. Additionally, the ever-increasing costs of insurance will impact our profitability to the
extent that we cannot offset these increases into our costs of services. If the insurance we carry
is not sufficient to cover any judgments, settlements or costs relating to any present or future
claims, suits or complaints, our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity
could be materially adversely affected.
If we were not able to renew all of the insurance plans that cover temporary healthcare employees,
our business would be adversely impacted.
The maintenance of health and workers compensation insurance plans that cover our temporary
healthcare employees is a significant part of our business. If we were unable to secure renewal of
contracts for such plans or the renewal of such plans with favorable rates and with competitive
benefits, our business would be adversely affected. The current health and workers compensation
contracts are provided by vendors with whom we have an established relationship and on terms that
we believe to be favorable. While we believe that renewal contracts could be secured on
competitive terms without causing significant disruption to our business, there can be no assurance
in this regard.
We operate in a highly competitive market and our success depends on our ability to remain
competitive in obtaining and retaining hospital and healthcare facility clients and demonstrating
the value of our services.
The temporary employee placement industry is characterized by vigorous competition. We compete in
national, regional and local markets with full-service staffing companies, specialized temporary
staffing agencies and hospital systems that have developed their own interim staffing pools. Since
we compete with numerous entities that have greater resources than us, our business will suffer if
we are not competitive with respect to each of the services we provide. Our major competitors with
respect to temporary medical staffing include, but are not limited to, AMN Healthcare Services,
Inc., Cross Country Healthcare, Inc., CHG Healthcare Services, Inc., Medical Staffing Network
Holdings, Inc., Nursefinders, Inc. and Maxim Healthcare Services Inc. These companies may have
greater financial and marketing resources than we.
We believe that the primary competitive factors in obtaining and retaining hospital and healthcare
facility clients are identifying qualified healthcare professionals for specific job requirements,
providing qualified employees in a timely manner, pricing services competitively and effectively
monitoring the job performance of our temporary professionals. Competition for hospital and
healthcare facility clients and temporary and permanent healthcare professionals may increase in
the future related to these factors or due to a shortage of qualified healthcare professionals in
the marketplace and, as a result, we may not be able to remain competitive. To the extent
competitors seek to gain or retain market share b reducing prices or increasing marketing
expenditures, we could lose
revenue or clients and our margins could decline, which could seriously harm our operating results
and cause the price of our stock to decline.
10
Our failure to remain competitive could harm our business.
Our business is highly competitive. We compete with larger companies that have greater name
recognition, financial resources and larger staffs. We also compete with smaller, more specialized
entities who are able to concentrate their resources on particular areas. In the Government
segment, we also compete with the U.S. Governments own in-house capabilities and the U.S.
Governments ability to hire permanent staff. To remain competitive, we must provide superior
service and performance on a cost-effective basis to our customers. Any failure to do so could
have a material adverse effect on our business.
We do not have long-term or exclusive agreements with our non-government temporary medical staffing
clients and growth of our business depends upon our ability to continually secure and fill new
orders.
We do not have long-term agreements or exclusive guaranteed order contracts with our non-government
temporary healthcare staffing clients. Assignments for our non-government temporary healthcare
staffing typically have a term of thirteen weeks. The success of our business depends upon our
ability to continually secure new orders from clients and to fill those orders with our healthcare
professionals. Our agreements do not provide for exclusive use of our services, and clients are
free to place orders with our competitors. As a result, it is imperative to our business that we
maintain positive relationships with our clients. If we fail to maintain positive relationships
with these clients, we may be unable to generate new contract staffing orders, and the growth of
our business could be adversely affected.
If we are unable to attract qualified nurses and allied health professionals for our healthcare
staffing business, our business may be negatively affected.
TeamStaff Rx is a temporary employment agency, which depends on a pool of qualified temporary
employees willing to accept assignments for our clients. We rely heavily on our ability to attract
and retain nurses and allied health professionals who possess the skills, experience and licenses
necessary to meet the requirements of our hospital and healthcare facility clients. We compete for
temporary healthcare professionals with other temporary healthcare staffing companies and with
hospitals and healthcare facilities. We must continually evaluate and expand our temporary
healthcare professional network to keep pace with our hospital and healthcare facility clients
needs. Currently, there is a shortage of qualified nurses in most areas of the United States and
competition for nursing personnel is increasing. We may be unable to continue to increase the
number of temporary healthcare professionals that we recruit, thereby decreasing the potential for
growing our business. Our ability to attract and retain temporary healthcare professionals depends
on several factors, including our ability to provide temporary healthcare professionals with
assignments that they view as attractive and to provide them with competitive benefits and wages.
The cost of attracting temporary healthcare professionals and providing them with attractive
benefits packages may be higher than we anticipate and, as a result, if we are unable to pass these
costs on to our hospital and healthcare facility clients, our profitability could decline.
Moreover, if we are unable to attract and retain temporary healthcare professionals, the quality of
our services to our hospital and healthcare facility clients may decline and, as a result, we could
lose clients.
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. The system also tracks regulatory credentialing expirations and other relevant
client and healthcare information. They also perform payroll, billing and accounts receivable
functions. Our information systems are vulnerable to fire, storm, flood, power loss,
telecommunications failures, physical or software break-ins and similar events. If our information
systems fail or are otherwise unavailable, these functions would have to be accomplished manually,
which could impact our ability to identify business opportunities quickly, maintain billing and
staffing records reliably, pay our staff in a timely fashion and bill for services efficiently.
11
Potential tax liabilities may adversely affect our financial condition.
From time to time, we have received several notices from the Internal Revenue Service regarding
potential underpayment, overpayment or non-payment of payroll-related taxes. We have disputed
these notices, and strongly believe that such notices were the result of errors made in reporting
taxes paid and the resulting misapplication of taxes paid, in large part due to our operation of
approximately seventeen different subsidiaries predominantly from our former Professional Employer
Organization discontinued operations. The IRS has made claims that, if we were required to pay in
full, could materially adversely affect our financial condition. We are contesting these notices
because we believe all material payroll-related taxes have been paid. We further believe that once
all tax payments are applied appropriately, all material penalties and interest should be abated.
We have retained the services of Ernst & Young, LLP to assist us in this regard. However, there can
be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts. In settling various years for specific
subsidiaries with the IRS, the Company has received refunds for those specific periods; however, as
the process of settling and concluding on other periods and subsidiaries is not yet completed and
the potential exists for related penalties and interest, such amounts have been recorded in
accounts payable in the accompanying balance sheets.
Based on an assessment of periods settled and the status of open periods under review by the IRS,
management reduced its estimated liability by $0.7 million in 2008. Such amount, accounted for as
a change in estimate, is included as a component of other income (expense) in the accompanying 2008
statement of operations. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these remaining
payroll tax matters will not have a significant adverse effect on its financial position or future
results of operations.
If we fail to execute our acquisitions or investments, our business could suffer.
Historically, we have supplemented our internal growth through acquisitions and may do so in the
future through acquisitions, investments or joint ventures. We evaluate potential acquisitions,
investments and joint ventures on an ongoing basis. Any acquisitions and investments that we may
pursue pose many risks, including:
|
|
|
We may not be able to compete successfully for available acquisition
candidates, complete future acquisitions or investments or accurately
estimate their financial effect on our business; |
|
|
|
Future acquisitions, investments or joint ventures may require us to
issue additional common stock, spend significant cash amounts or
decrease our operating income; |
|
|
|
We may have trouble integrating the acquired business and retaining its personnel; |
|
|
|
Acquisitions, investments or joint ventures may disrupt our business
and distract our management from other responsibilities; |
|
|
|
There can be no assurances that we would realize the anticipated
benefits of any acquisition or investment or that we would be able to
manage the growth of our company following such a transaction; |
|
|
|
There may be substantial costs associated with pursuing or integrating
acquisitions or strategic investments; and |
|
|
|
If our acquisitions or investments fail, our business could be harmed. |
We may acquire additional companies, which may result in adverse effects on our earnings.
We may at times become involved in discussions with potential acquisition candidates. Any
acquisition that we may consummate may have an adverse effect on our liquidity and earnings and may
be dilutive to our earnings. In the event that we consummate an acquisition or obtain additional
capital through the sale of debt or equity to finance an acquisition, our shareholders may
experience dilution in their equity. We have previously obtained growth through acquisitions of
other companies and businesses. Under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No.141,
Business Combinations (SFAS No.141) and No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142)
implemented in June 2001, we are required to periodically review goodwill and indefinite life
intangible assets for possible impairment. In the event that we are required to write down the
value of any assets under these pronouncements, it may materially and adversely affect our
earnings. See the more detailed discussion appearing as part of our Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 herein.
12
Risks Relating To Our Revolving Credit Line
Our credit facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and if we are unable to
make the scheduled principal and interest payments on the facility or maintain compliance with
other debt covenants, we may default on the facility.
TeamStaff completed a $3.0 million revolving credit facility by Sovereign Business Capital
(formerly known as Business Alliance Capital Company), a division of Sovereign Bank, effective on
March 28, 2008. Revolving credit advances bear interest at the per annum rate of Prime Rate plus
25 basis points, but not less than 5.5% per annum. 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 debt service coverage
ratio and restrictions on the Companys ability to, among other things, dispose of certain assets,
engage in certain transactions, incur indebtedness and pay dividends. In addition, the line of
credit is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets. Due to these covenants and
restrictions, our operations may be affected in several ways. For instance, a portion of our cash
flow from operations will be dedicated to the payment of the principal and interest on our
indebtedness and as referenced above, our ability to enter into certain transactions, incur
additional indebtedness and dispose of certain assets may be limited. The facility is subject to
acceleration upon non-payment or various other standard default clauses. Material increases in the
Prime rate could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, the status of the
revolving credit facility, as well as interest costs. Failure to pay revolving credit advances or
any failure to comply with applicable restrictive covenants would have a material adverse effect on
our business in that we could be required to repay the outstanding balance in advance or sell
assets in order to repay the outstanding amount. In addition, the Lender could seize the collateral
securing the loan facility.
Further, availability under the line is directly related to the successful assignment of certain
accounts receivable. Certain government accounts of TeamStaff GS are required to execute
Acknowledgements of Assignment. There can be no assurance that every TeamStaff GS 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, which would materially affect the Companys business.
Risks Relating To Our Stock
Changes in our business, the volatility of the market value of our comparable companies and the
impact of litigation and disputes may increase the volatility of the stock price.
The price of our common stock could be subject to fluctuations in the future. This volatility may
result from the impact on our stock price of:
|
|
|
the impact of acquisitions, investments, joint ventures and divestitures that we may undertake; |
|
|
|
the impact of the volatility of the market value of comparable public
companies that are considered in our valuation process and any
publicly traded securities we may own; |
|
|
|
the impact of litigation, government investigations or other customer
disputes on our operating performance and future prospects; and |
|
|
|
the mix of our commercial and international business as a proportion
of our overall business and the volatility associated with companies
in those business areas |
Since we have not paid dividends on our common stock, you cannot expect dividend income from an
investment in our common stock.
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not contemplate or
anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Future potential
lenders may prohibit us from paying dividends without its prior consent. Therefore, holders of our
common stock may not receive any dividends on their investment in us. Earnings, if any, will be
retained and used to finance the development and expansion of our business.
13
We may issue preferred stock with rights senior to our common stock, which may adversely impact the
voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of blank check preferred stock with such
designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of
directors up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Accordingly, our board of
directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend,
liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights, which would adversely affect the voting power or
other rights of the holders of our common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock
could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing
a change in control of our Company, which could have the effect of discouraging bids for our
Company and thereby prevent stockholders from receiving the maximum value for their shares.
Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of our preferred stock, in order to
discourage or delay a change of control of our Company, we may do so in the future. In addition,
we may determine to issue preferred stock in connection with capital raising efforts and the terms
of the stock so issued could have special voting rights or rights related to the composition of our
Board.
Anti-takeover provisions in our Articles of Incorporation make a change in control of our Company
more difficult.
The provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and the New Jersey Business Corporation Act,
together or separately, could discourage potential acquisition proposals, delay or prevent a change
in control and limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for our
common stock. Among other things, these provisions:
|
|
|
require certain supermajority votes; |
|
|
|
|
establish certain advance notice procedures for nomination of candidates for election as directors and for shareholders
proposals to be considered at shareholders meetings; and |
|
|
|
|
divide the board of directors into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms. |
Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, the board of directors has authority to issue up to
5,000,000 preferred shares without further shareholder approval. Such preferred shares could have
dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting and other rights and privileges that are superior or
senior to our common stock. Issuance of preferred shares could result in the dilution of the voting
power of our common stock, adversely affecting holders of our common stock in the event of its
liquidation or delay, and defer or prevent a change in control. In certain circumstances, such
issuance could have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock. In addition, the
New Jersey Business Corporation Act contains provisions that, under certain conditions, prohibit
business combinations with 10% shareholders and any New Jersey corporation for a period of five
years from the time of acquisition of shares by the 10% shareholder. The New Jersey Business
Corporation Act also contains provisions that restrict certain business combinations and other
transactions between a New Jersey corporation and 10% shareholders.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
RS Staffing Services, Inc.
On April 17, 2007, a Federal Grand Jury subpoena was issued by the Northern District of Illinois to
the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, TeamStaff GS, formerly known as RS Staffing Services,
requesting production of certain documents dating back to 1997, prior to the time the Company
acquired RS Staffing Services. The subpoena stated that it was issued in connection with an
investigation of possible violations of Federal criminal laws and related crimes concerning
procurement at the DVA. According to the cover letter accompanying the subpoena, the U.S.
Department of Justice, Antitrust Division (DOJ), along with the DVA, Office of the Inspector
General, are responsible for the current criminal investigation. RS Staffing Services provides
temporary staffing at certain DVA hospitals that may be part of the investigation. The return date
for documents called for by the subpoena was May 17, 2007. In connection with the same
investigation, agents with the DVA, Office of Inspector General, executed a search warrant at the
Monroe, Georgia offices of RS Staffing Services.
The government has advised TeamStaff that the DOJ has no intent to charge TeamStaff or any of its
subsidiaries or employees in connection with the Federal investigation of contract practices at
various government owned/contractor operated facilities. TeamStaff remains committed to cooperate
with the DOJs continued investigation of other parties.
The Company originally acquired RS Staffing Services in June 2005. As part of the purchase price
of the acquisition, the Company issued to the former owners of RS Staffing Services a $3.0 million
promissory note, of which $1.5 million was paid in June 2006. On May 31, 2007, the Company sent a
notice of indemnification claim to the former owners for costs that have been incurred in
connection with the investigation. Effective June 1, 2007, the Company and former owners of RS
Staffing Services reached an agreement to extend the due date from June 8, 2007 to December 31,
2008 with respect to the remaining $1.5 million note payable and accrued interest payable on June
8, 2007. As of September 30, 2008, the amount has not been settled. The Company recognized
expenses related to legal representation and costs incurred in connection with the investigation in
the amount of $0.2 million and $1.5 million during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 and
2007, respectively, as a component of other income (expense). Cumulative costs related to this
matter approximate $1.7 million. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement with RS Staffing Services,
the Company has notified the former owners of RS Staffing Services that it is the Companys
intention to exercise its right to setoff the payment of such expenses against the remaining
principal and accrued interest due to the former owners of RS Staffing Services.
The Company will pursue the recovery as a right of offset in future periods. Management has a good
faith belief that the Company will recover such amounts; however, generally accepted accounting
principles preclude the Company from recording an offset to the note payable to the former owners
of RS Staffing Services until the final amount of the claim is settled and determinable. At
present, no assurances can be given that the former owners of RS Staffing Services would not pursue
action against us or that the Company will be successful in the offset of such amounts against the
outstanding debt. Accordingly, the Company has expensed costs incurred related to the
investigation through September 30, 2008.
Other Matters
On October 2, 2008, the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued a
subpoena to TeamStaff GS regarding the alleged wrongful termination of certain employees who were
employed at a federal facility staffed by TeamStaff GS temporary contract employees. The wrongful
termination is alleged to have occurred when the former employees were terminated because they
could not satisfy English proficiency requirements imposed by the Federal government. TeamStaff GS
has produced all documents that it believes were required by the subpoena and has submitted its
position statement to the EEOC. It is unclear, at present, if or when the EEOC will respond.
16
As a commercial enterprise and employer, we are subject to various claims and legal actions in the
ordinary course of business. These matters can include professional liability,
employment-relations issues, workers compensation, tax, payroll and employee-related matters and
inquiries and investigations by governmental agencies regarding our
employment practices. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that we believe is
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial
position or cash flows.
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 TeamStaffs results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of fiscal
2008.

B. Market Information
On April 17, 2008, the Company filed an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking and Cautionary Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
1995 Reform Act, Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. TeamStaff
desires to avail itself of certain safe harbor provisions of the 1995 Reform Act and is therefore
including this special note to enable TeamStaff to do so. Forward-looking statements are
identified by words such as believe, anticipate, expect, intend, plan, will, may and
other similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or
other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements included in this report involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors which could cause TeamStaffs actual results, performance (financial or
operating) or achievements to differ from the future results, performance (financial or operating)
or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We based these
forward-looking statements on our current expectations and best estimates and projections about
future events. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in, or implied by,
these forward-looking statements. The following factors (among others) could cause our actual
results to differ materially from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K: our ability to continue to recruit qualified temporary and permanent
healthcare professionals and administrative staff at reasonable costs; our ability to retain
qualified temporary healthcare professionals and administrative staff for multiple assignments at
reasonable costs; our ability to attract and retain sales and operational personnel; our ability
to enter into contracts with hospitals, healthcare facility clients, affiliated healthcare
networks, physician practice groups and the United States Government on terms attractive to us and
to secure orders related to those contracts; our ability to demonstrate the value of our services
to our healthcare and other facility clients; changes in the timing of hospital, healthcare
facility clients, physician practice groups and U.S. Government orders for and our placement of
temporary and permanent healthcare professionals and administrative staff; the general level of
patient occupancy at our hospital, healthcare facility clients and physician practice groups
facilities; the overall level of demand for services offered by temporary and permanent healthcare
staffing providers; the ability of our hospital, healthcare facility and physician practice group
clients to retain and increase the productivity of their permanent staff; the variation in pricing
of the healthcare facility contracts under which we place temporary and permanent healthcare
professionals; our ability to successfully implement our strategic growth, acquisition and
integration strategies; our ability to successfully integrate completed acquisitions into our
current operations; our ability to manage growth effectively; the performance of our management
information and communication systems; the effect of existing or future government legislation and
regulation; the impact of medical malpractice and other claims asserted against us; the disruption
or adverse impact to our business as a result of a terrorist attack; our ability to carry out our
business strategy; the loss of key officers, and management personnel that could adversely affect
our ability to remain competitive; the effect of recognition by us of an impairment to goodwill and
intangible assets; other tax and regulatory issues and developments; and the effect of adjustments
by us to accruals for self-insured retentions.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our
Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules of the SEC. The preparation of
our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires us to make estimates, which include judgments and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and related disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities. We have based our estimates on historical experience and on
various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our
estimates on a regular basis and make changes accordingly. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that there are material
differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flow will be affected.
A critical accounting estimate is based on judgments and assumptions about matters that are
uncertain at the time the estimate is made. Different estimates that reasonably could have been
used or changes in accounting estimates could materially impact our financial statements. We
believe that the policies described below represent our critical accounting policies, as they have
the greatest potential impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. However, you should also
review our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies beginning on page F-8 of the notes to our
Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition
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.
Revenues related to retroactive billings in 2008 from certain agencies of the Federal government
are recognized when: (1) the Company develops and calculates an amount for such prior period
services and has a contractual right to bill for such amounts under its arrangements and (2) there
are no remaining unfulfilled conditions for approval of such billings. The related direct costs,
principally comprised of salaries and benefits, are recognized to match the recognized
reimbursements from the Federal agencies; upon approval, wages are processed for payment to the
employees.
During the year ended September 30, 2008, TeamStaff recognized revenues of $10.8 million and direct
costs of $10.1 million related to these non-recurring arrangements. At September 30, 2008, the
amount of the remaining accounts receivable with the DVA approximates $9.3 million and accrued
liabilities for salaries to employees and related benefits totaled $8.7 million. Accounts
receivable includes $7.6 million that was unbilled to the DVA at September 30, 2008.
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
TeamStaffs 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 as placements are made. Commissions from permanent placements result from the successful
placement of a medical staffing employee to a customers workforce as a permanent employee. The
Company also reviews the status of such placements to assess the Companys future performance
obligations under such contracts.
Direct costs of services are reflected in TeamStaffs Consolidated 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.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Beginning October 1, 2001, TeamStaff no longer amortizes goodwill or indefinite life intangible
assets. TeamStaff continues to review its goodwill and other intangible assets for possible
impairment or loss of value at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or
when circumstances indicate that a reporting units carrying amount is greater than its fair value.
If an impairment write off of all the goodwill became necessary, a charge of up to $10.3 million
would be expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. All goodwill is attributable to the
staffing services reporting units. If an impairment write off of all the trade names became
necessary, a charge of up to $4.6 million would be expensed in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations. During 2007, in connection with the Companys decision to exit the Nursing Innovation
per diem operations, an impairment loss of $1.6 million was recognized to reduce the carrying value of goodwill to
net realizable value. TeamStaff has concluded, at present, that there is not any other required
write off of goodwill or its tradename.
Prepaid Workers Compensation
TeamStaffs current workers compensation insurance program is provided by Zurich American
Insurance Company (Zurich). This program covers TeamStaffs 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.
22
As part of the Companys 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. From time-to-time, trust assets have been refunded to the
Company based on Zurichs overall assessment of claims experience and historical and projected
settlements. In March 2008, Zurich reduced the collateral requirements on outstanding workers
compensation claims and released $350,000 in trust account funds back to the Company. In fiscal
years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, Zurich reduced the collateral requirements on outstanding
workers compensation claims and released $1.19 million and $2.25 million, respectively, in trust
account funds back to the Company. The final amount of trust funds that could be refunded to the
Company is subject to a number of uncertainties (e.g. claim settlements and experience, health care
costs and the extended statutory filing periods for such claims); however, based on a third partys
study of claims experience, TeamStaff estimates that at September 30, 2008, the remaining prepaid
asset of $0.4 million is expected to be received within the next twelve months. This is reflected
on TeamStaffs balance sheet as of September 30, 2008 as a current asset, in addition to
approximately $0.2 million related to current policy deposits.
As of September 30, 2008 and 2007 the adequacy of the workers compensation reserves (which are
offset against the trust fund balances in prepaid assets) was determined, in managements 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, 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 TeamStaffs
prepayments and adjust the related reserves as deemed appropriate.
Income 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.
In the fourth quarter of the year ended September 30, 2006, after an assessment of all available
evidence (including historical and forecasted operating results), management concluded that
realization of the Companys net operating loss carryforwards (which includes those amounts
acquired in previous years business combinations, collectively NOLs), tax credits and other
deferred tax assets, could not be considered more likely than not. Accordingly, for the year ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company did not record a tax benefit for net operating losses.
Based on similar assessments, the Company increased the valuation allowance established on deferred
tax assets by approximately $0.6 million and $0.8 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively. The
primary reason for the NOL in 2008 relates to the realized tax loss (unrealized in 2007) on the
sale of the discontinued operations assets (see Note 4). The
increase in the valuation allowance of approximately
$0.6 million related to the net operating loss was offset by a
decrease of approximately $1.1 million, representing adjustments
to state NOLs and other fully reserved deferred tax assets. Based on an assessment performed as of
September 30, 2008, the Company has maintained a full valuation allowance against
remaining NOLs and other deferred tax assets; as the realization of such amounts, at that date,
could not be considered more likely than not. In prospective periods, there may be reductions to
the valuation allowance to the extent that the Company concludes that it is more likely that not
that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets can be utilized (subject to annual limitations and
prior to the expiration of such NOLs), to offset future periods taxable income.
The Company recorded tax expense of $60,000 related to certain estimated state taxes due. The
income tax benefit of $123,000 for 2007 is attributable to an overaccrual of estimated state taxes
at September 30, 2006 against amounts computed in the preparation of various income tax returns.
23
At
September 30, 2008 the Company had net operating losses of
approximately $28.3 million, $14.4 million and $8.5 million for U.S, New Jersey and other states tax return purposes, respectively,
and unutilized tax credits approximate $1.1 million. As a result of previous business
combinations and changes in its ownership, there is a
substantial amount of U.S. NOLs that are subject to annual limitations on utilization. The U.S.
NOLs begin to expire in 2021 and continue to expire through 2028.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
TeamStaff maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the
inability of its customers to pay. However, if the financial condition of TeamStaffs customers
were to deteriorate rapidly, resulting in nonpayment, TeamStaffs accounts receivable balances
could grow and TeamStaff could be required to provide for additional allowances, which would
decrease net income in the period that such determination was made. For example, TeamStaff
currently maintains an allowance of less than 1% of billed accounts receivable due to the fact that
a significant portion of accounts receivable are from the Federal Government which historically
have had little, if any, write-offs for non-payment. If, for example, the allowance grew to 2% of
September 30, 2008 accounts receivable, pre-tax income would have been reduced by $256,000.
Overview
Business description
TeamStaff provides specialized medical, nursing, logistics and administrative staffing services by
supplying allied healthcare and nursing professionals, logistics and administrative personnel
through two staffing subsidiaries. The Companys TeamStaff Rx subsidiary operates throughout the
United States and specializes in providing travel allied medical employees and nurses (typically on
a thirteen-week assignment basis), as well as permanent placement services. Allied medical staff
includes MRI technicians, mammographers, physical therapists, occupational therapists,
dosimetrists, ultrasound staff and physicists. TeamStaff Rx places temporary employees at
approximately 225 client facilities. The Companys TeamStaff GS subsidiary specializes in providing
medical and office administration/technical professionals through FSS contracts with both the GSA
and DVA. TeamStaff GS places temporary employees at approximately 40 facilities.
The Company has implemented several initiatives to position the staffing services subsidiaries for
growth. Sales initiatives include assessing, restructuring and adding to its sales force and
recruiting efforts and continued management of a pricing and gross margin improvement plan. In
September 2008, the Company hired Dale West as President of its TeamStaff Rx subsidiary. Ms. West
was former President of RNNetwork as well as an owner and original founder of RNNetwork. Ms. West
grew RN Network from a start-up to approximately $100 million in annual revenue over a five year
period. In February 2008, TeamStaff Rx received Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare
Organizations (JCAHO) certification which serves to validate the Companys hiring practices and
our commitment to providing quality healthcare services. The Company believes this Gold Seal is
critical in maximizing additional recruiting and sales opportunities. During the fiscal year,
efforts to build marketing presence included the launching of new TeamStaff Rx, TeamStaff GS and
corporate websites, implementing a print advertisement campaign, and revising our strategic
marketing communications plan in an effort to attract allied medical and nurse travelers. During
the year, we also added several marketing events to our tradeshow calendar in order to increase our
brand recognition. This added exposure is allowing us to introduce our suite of offerings to an
expanded market. We continue to focus on our sales and marketing efforts throughout our operating
divisions in order to increase our contact with current and prospective clients. We initiated a
corporate branding campaign which will promote consistency and brand recognition as well as
increase TeamStaffs visibility in the marketplace. TeamStaff GS, formerly known as RS Staffing
Services, 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 favorable operating margins. In February
2008 we announced the renaming of RS Staffing Services to TeamStaff Government Solutions. The name
change reflects the subsidiarys expanding service offerings in providing staffing for government
logistical support positions.
24
Sale of Nursing Innovations
On January 31, 2008, we completed the sale of our per diem nurse staffing business located in
Memphis, Tennessee and operating under the name of Nursing Innovations, to Temps, Inc. Under the
terms of the definitive asset purchase agreement, effective as of January 27, 2008, we received a
cash purchase price of $447,000 for the acquired business and related assets, of which $357,000 was
paid at closing and $90,000 was deposited in a required escrow account for six months. Payment of
the escrow to TeamStaff was subject to the downward adjustment for the amount of pre-closing
accounts receivables uncollected by the purchaser during such six-month period.
Approximately $89,000 of escrow was released to the Company during the fourth quarter of fiscal
2008. As described in greater detail in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements, the
results of operations, cash flows and related assets and liabilities of our per diem nurse staffing
business was reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from those of our
continuing businesses to discontinued operations.
Reverse Split
On April 17, 2008, the Company filed an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation in order to effect a one-for-four reverse split of the Companys common stock. The
reverse split was approved on April 17, 2008 at the Companys annual meeting of shareholders and
became effective on April 21, 2008, at which time the Companys common stock began trading on the
Nasdaq Global Market on a split-adjusted basis. The Company did not issue any fractional shares
resulting from the reverse split and will pay holders the cash value of fractional shares that
would have otherwise been issued. As a result of the reverse stock split, each four shares of
Common Stock was combined and reclassified into one share of common stock. All references to
common stock, options, share based arrangements, exercise price, fair values and related data
within this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been retroactively restated so as to incorporate the
effect of this reverse stock split. On May 12, 2008, the Company announced that it was notified by
the Nasdaq Stock Market that, as a result of the Companys common stock closing at $1.00 per share
or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, it has regained compliance with the minimum
bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market.
Recent Business Trends
TeamStaff Rx
Demand for travelers has softened due to hospital budget constraints and continued low patient
census. On the supply side, during a period of economic instability, travelers prefer the security
of a permanent position. Additionally, a poor economic climate has had an adverse impact on
hospital staff wanting to leave their position and take a travel assignment with us. In an effort
to attract travelers, the Company recently enhanced its benefits package and traveler loyalty
program.
Longer term, we continue to believe the demand for temporary medical personnel will rebound as a
result of key drivers in our business segment such as the declining health of an aging population,
advances in medical technology, hospital employee turnover, growth in hospital admissions and
regulatory legislation.
TeamStaff Government Solutions
TeamStaff GS has achieved positive results in expanding its penetration of DVA facilities through
vertical expansion of previously awarded contracts. The Company is expanding its reach within the
government sector beyond VA opportunities by bidding on Department of Defense (DOD) staffing
contracts afforded to large businesses and GSAs e-Buy portal, an electronic Request for Quote
(RFQ) / Request for Proposal (RFP) system designed to allow Federal buyers to request information,
find sources, and prepare RFQs/RFPs, online, for various services offered through GSAs Multiple
Award Schedule. Additionally, TeamStaff GS is evaluating opportunities to satisfy the staffing
needs of other government agencies in addition to the DVA and DOD as a means of horizontal
expansion of its client base.
We believe demand will remain strong as the government looks to maintain or improve social services
provided to our returning veterans. In addition, we believe the government staffing business is
more stable in an economic downturn due to the longer term duration of its contracts.

TeamStaffs revenues for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $73.3 million and
$66.9 million, respectively, which represents an increase of $6.4 million or 9.6% over the prior
fiscal year. Revenue for the fiscal year 2008 and 2007 include $59.2 million and $44.9 million,
respectively, related to TeamStaff GS. This subsidiarys revenue helped to offset a decrease of
$10.3 million in revenues in the TeamStaff Rx travel allied and travel nursing subsidiary from
fiscal year 2007 to fiscal year 2008. The decrease in revenue is in part due to adverse economic
conditions resulting in lower demand for certain allied services and the continued shortage of
qualified nursing professionals. The Company anticipates that the management changes made in
fiscal 2007 and 2008, in addition to a redirected sales and marketing focus, will help increase the
client base of and attract new travelers to TeamStaff Rx.
TeamStaff GS is seeking approval from the Federal government for gross profit on retroactive
billing rate increases associated with certain government contracts at which it has employees
staffed on contract assignments. These adjustments are due to changes in the contracted wage
determination rates for these contract employees. A wage determination is the listing of wage
rates and fringe benefit rates for each classification of laborers whom the Administrator of the
Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has determined to be prevailing in a
given locality. Contractors performing services for the Federal government under certain contracts
are required to pay service employees in various classes no less than the wage rates and fringe
benefits found prevailing in these localities. An audit by the DOL at one of the facilities
revealed that notification, as required by contract, was not provided to TeamStaff GS in order to
effectuate the wage increases in a timely manner. Wages for contract employees currently on
assignment have been adjusted prospectively to the prevailing rate and hourly billing rates to the
DVA have been increased accordingly. During the year ended September 30, 2008, TeamStaff
recognized nonrecurring revenues of $10.8 million and direct costs of $10.1 million. At September
30, 2008, the amount of the remaining accounts receivable with the DVA approximates $9.3 million.
TeamStaff has recognized revenue based on amounts that are contractually due under its arrangements
with the Federal agencies and is currently in the process of negotiating a final amount related to
gross profit on these adjustments. As such, there may be additional revenues recognized in future
periods once the approval for such additional amounts are obtained. The range of revenue (and gross
profit) are estimated to be between $0.4 million and $0.7 million. At present, the Company expects
to collect such amounts in the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2009. Because these amounts are
subject to government review, no assurances can be given that we will receive any additional
billings from our government contracts or that if additional amounts are received, that the amount
will be within the range specified above.
Direct expenses for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $61.2 million and $55.9
million, respectively which represents an increase of $5.3 million or 9.6%. This increase is the
result of higher revenues. As a percentage of revenue, direct expenses were 83.5% for each of the
fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
26
Gross profits for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $12.1 million and $11.0
million, respectively, which represents an increase of $1.1 million, or 9.3%. The improvement in
gross margin is a direct result of increased pricing on contracts and direct cost control
initiatives as well as reduced use of TeamStaff GS teaming partners (subcontractors). Gross
profit, as a percentage of revenue, was 16.5% for each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008
and 2007. Included in fiscal 2008 is gross profit of approximately $0.7 million related to the
retroactive billings. Adjusted for the retroactive billings, TeamStaffs gross profit in fiscal
2008 was 18.2%.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008
and 2007 were $11.0 million and 12.7 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $1.7
million, or 13.3%. The Company continues with its cost saving initiatives, which have resulted in
reduced headcount and G&A costs. These cost savings have helped to offset an increase in new
business expense of $0.4 million from fiscal 2007 to 2008. The increased spending is related to
increased sales staff and marketing efforts. The Company seeks continued elimination of overhead
costs deemed to be non-essential to growth or infrastructure.
Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $311,000 and $349,000 for the fiscal years
ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Income from operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 was $0.7 million as compared to
a loss from operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 of $2.0 million. This
represents an improvement of $2.7 million in results from operations from fiscal 2007 to 2008.
Other income, which is comprised primarily of late fee income in the TeamStaff Rx subsidiary and
interest income, was approximately $188,000 and $219,000 for the fiscal years ended September 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively. In addition, based on an assessment of periods settled and the status
of open periods under review by the IRS regarding notices the Company received related
predominantly to its former PEO operations, the Company reduced its estimated liability for payroll
tax contingencies by $0.7 million and recorded such adjustment as other income.
Interest expense for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $159,000
and $197,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $38,000. This decrease is primarily due to
reduced interest rates related to borrowing on the line of credit.
The Company recorded other expense of $0.2 million and $1.5 million, for the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively representing a decrease of $1.3 million. This expense is
related to legal representation and investigation costs incurred in connection with the Federal
Grand Jury subpoena issued to our subsidiary formerly known as RS Staffing Services on April 17,
2007. The subpoena requested production of certain documents dating back to 1997. The Company
acquired RS Staffing effective as of June 2005. These expenses are classified as non-operating
expenses because the subpoena relates to activity prior to the acquisition.
Beginning in fiscal 2006, the Company provided a 100% deferred tax valuation allowance because it
believes that it cannot be considered more likely than not that it will be able to realize the full
benefit of the deferred tax asset. 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. 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. For all of fiscal 2008, the Company did not
record a Federal tax provision or benefit but recorded tax
expense of $60,000 related to certain estimated states taxes due. Income tax benefit from
continuing operations for fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 was $0.1 million as a result of
adjustments in amounts accrued for tax provisions or settlements for fiscal year 2006 when the
final Federal and state returns were prepared and filed.
Income from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 was $1.2 million, or
$0.25 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $3.4
million, or ($0.70) per basic and diluted share, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 and
2007 was $0.04 million, or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share, and $1.3 million, or ($0.27) per
basic and diluted share, respectively.
Loss from operations from the discontinued business unit, net of tax, for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2007, was $1.6 million. This includes income from operations, net of tax, of
the discontinued per diem business unit of $0.2 million, offset by the write-down to fair value of
per diem intangible assets of $1.6 million.
27
Net income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 was $1.1 million, or $0.24 per basic and
diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $4.7 million, or $(0.97) per basic and diluted share,
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. This represents an improvement of $5.8 million in
net income from fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources; Commitments
Our principal sources of cash to fund our working capital needs are cash generated from operating
activities and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Net cash provided by operating
activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 was $4.7 million. This increase in net
cash was primarily driven by a decrease in days sales outstanding (DSO) from approximately 40
days to 17 days during fiscal 2008 due to an enhanced and more efficient payment processing system
implemented by the government. This decrease in DSOs increased our cash position by approximately
$3 million. Also contributing to net cash provided by operating activities is income from
continuing operations of $1.2 million and $0.35 million in cash received from Zurich related to the reduction in
collateral requirements on outstanding workers compensation claims. Net cash used in operating
activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 was $1.4 million. Losses from continuing
operations of $3.4 million were the primary use of cash during the fiscal year ended September 30,
2007. This use was offset by $1.2 million in cash received from Zurich related to the reduction in
collateral requirements on outstanding workers compensation claims and $0.25 million in escrow
release related to the sale of the discontinued DSI business unit.
We continue to have relatively low capital investment requirements. Net cash provided by investing
activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 was $0.1 million as a result of proceeds
from the sale of our Per Diem division, offset in part by cash used for the purchases of furniture,
technology equipment and software related to the relocation of TeamStaff GS administrative offices
to Loganville, Georgia. Cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2007 was $0.2 million, primarily for the purchase of technology equipment, expenses related to the
implementation of a new front office computer system and the redesign of our traveler website.
Net cash used in financing activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 was $0.2
million, primarily as a result of repayments on capital lease obligations and fees related to the
new credit facility with Sovereign Business Capital. Cash provided by financing activities for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 was negligible.
Loan Facilities
Prior Facility
In connection with the acquisition of TeamStaff GS, formerly known as RS Staffing Services,
TeamStaff secured financing with PNC Bank in the form of a $7.0 million revolving credit facility
(PNC Credit Facility). The PNC Credit Facility was provided by PNC Bank effective on June 8,
2005 to (i) provide for the acquisition of RS Staffing Services; (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 PNC Credit
Facility to $8.0 million. Revolving credit advances under the PNC Credit Facility accrued 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 PNC Credit Facility had a three-year life and
contained term and line of credit borrowing options. The PNC Credit Facility was subject to certain
restrictive covenants including a fixed charge coverage ratio if the Company failed to maintain
invested cash and line availability minimum requirements. The PNC Credit Facility was 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.
28
New Facility
On March 28, 2008, TeamStaff and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TeamStaff Rx and TeamStaff GS
entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March 28, 2008 (the
Loan Agreement) with Business Alliance Capital Company (BACC), a division of Sovereign Bank
(the Lender). Pursuant to the
Loan Agreement, the Lender (i) acquired by assignment from PNC all right, title and interest of
PNC under the PNC Credit Facility, the PNC note and related loan documentation, and (ii)
restructured the PNC Credit Facility into a $3,000,000 three (3) year revolving credit facility.
Effective April 1, 2008, BACC changed its name to Sovereign Business Capital. The outstanding
principal and interest balance under the PNC Credit Facility, related fees and certain expenses
related to the execution and closing of the Loan Agreement were paid in full with $0.6 million in
proceeds drawn from the Loan Agreement on April 2, 2008. Fees associated with this facility
approximate $150,000, which will be amortized over the life of the Loan Agreement.
Under the Loan Agreement, the Lender agreed to provide a revolving credit facility to the Company
in an aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000, subject to the further terms and conditions of the
Loan Agreement. The loan is secured by a first priority lien on all of the Companys assets.
The Companys ability to request loan advances under the Loan Agreement is subject to computation
of the Companys advance limit and compliance with the covenants and conditions of the loan. The
loan is for a term of 36 months and matures on March 31, 2011. Interest on the loan accrues on
the daily unpaid balance of the loan advances at a per annum rate of one-quarter (.25%)
percentage points above the Prime Rate in effect from time to time, but not less than five and
one-half percent (5.5%) per annum. The Loan Agreement requires compliance with certain customary
covenants including a debt service coverage ratio and restrictions on the Companys ability to,
among other things, dispose of certain assets, engage in certain transactions, incur indebtedness
and pay dividends. As of September 30, 2008, TeamStaff was in compliance with all loan covenants.
The Loan Agreement also provides for customary events of default following which, the Lender
may, at its option, accelerate the amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement.
Availability under the Loan Agreement is directly related to the successful assignment of certain
accounts receivable. Certain government accounts of TeamStaff GS are required to execute
Acknowledgements of Assignment. There can be no assurance that every TeamStaff GS 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 Loan Agreement.
As of September 30, 2008, TeamStaff had cash and cash equivalents of $5.2 million and net accounts
receivable of $12.9 million. At September 30, 2008, the amount of the accounts receivable
associated with the DVA retroactive billings approximates $9.3 million. This includes $7.6 million
that was unbilled at September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, there was no debt outstanding
under the Loan Agreement and unused availability (as defined) totaled $1.8 million, net of required
collateral reserves per the Loan Agreement for certain payroll and tax liabilities. As of
September 30, 2008, TeamStaff had working capital of $2.4 million. The Company believes that,
along with cash on hand, the availability under the existing revolving line of credit will provide
sufficient liquidity over the next twelve months.

Employment Agreements
As described in greater detail under the caption Executive Compensation and Related Information
Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers, during fiscal 2008, we entered into
employment agreements with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Subsequent to
the year ended September 30, 2008, we entered into employment agreements with our President of
TeamStaff GS and with our President of TeamStaff Rx. The material terms and conditions of each of
these employment agreements are summarized in greater detail under the caption Executive
Compensation and Related Information Employment Agreements with Other Executive Officers. The
summaries of each of the foregoing agreements are incorporated herein by reference.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for
the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating parts of our business that are not
consolidated into our financial statements. We do not have any arrangements or relationships with
entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that are reasonably likely to
materially affect our liquidity or the availability of our capital resources. We have entered into
various agreements by which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to
certain matters. Generally, these indemnification provisions are included in contracts arising in
the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the indemnified party
harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations related to such matters as
intellectual property rights. Payments by us under such indemnification clauses are generally
conditioned on the other party making a claim. Such claims are generally subject to challenge by
us and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, our
obligations under these arrangements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and, in some
instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by us. It is not
possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification
agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts of each particular
agreement. Historically, we have not made any payments under these agreements that have been
material individually or in the aggregate. As of our most recent fiscal year end we were not aware
of any obligations under such indemnification agreements that would require material payments.
Effects of Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on TeamStaffs 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Affecting the Company
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entitys financial statements and prescribes a
recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement of the
tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold has been met. This Interpretation also provides
guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition. TeamStaff conducts business solely in the US and, as a result, files
income tax returns for US, New Jersey and various other states and jurisdictions. In the normal
course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities. At present, there
are no ongoing income tax audits or unresolved disputes with the various tax authorities that the
Company currently files or has filed with. Given the Companys substantial net operating loss
carryforwards, which are subject to a full valuation allowance, as well as the historical operating
losses in prior periods, the adoption of FIN 48 on October 1, 2007 did not have any effect on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of the adoption date and for the year
ended September 30, 2008.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged. Any amounts recognized upon adoption
as a cumulative effect adjustment will be recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings in
the year of adoption. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009
and does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements.
30
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
does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative
instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable users of the
financial statements to better understand the effects on an entitys financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company currently does
not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
ITEM 7A. 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
TeamStaffs 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, TeamStaffs
workers compensation expense would 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 a $3.0 million revolving credit facility by Sovereign Business Capital. Revolving credit
advances bear interest at the Prime Rate plus 25 basis points. 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. The facility is subject to
acceleration upon non-payment or various other standard default clauses. Material increases in the
Prime 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 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL DATA
See attached Financial Statements beginning on page F-1 attached to this Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, have concluded that, based on the
evaluation of these controls and procedures, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective
at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
31
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect
that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and
all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, 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. Because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. Our
management, however, believes our disclosure controls and procedures are in fact effective to
provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the companys assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September
30, 2008. In making this evaluation, management used the framework in Internal ControlIntegrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework, our
management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
September 30, 2008.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public
accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was
not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only managements report in this
annual report.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

37
Shareholder Communications with the Board
Any shareholder may communicate with the Board of Directors in writing through the Companys
Corporate Secretary (at TeamStaff, Inc., 1 Executive Drive, Suite 130, Somerset, New Jersey 08873)
provided that the communication identifies the shareholder and the number and type of securities
held by that shareholder. The Secretary reviews such communications, and forwards them to the Board
of Directors unless the Secretary, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, determines
that the communication is inappropriate for the Boards consideration (for example, if it relates
to a personal grievance or is unrelated to Company business). The Secretary maintains a permanent
written record of all such shareholder communications received by the Secretary. This process was
unanimously approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors
(which is comprised of independent directors).
Code of Ethics
On June 20, 2003, TeamStaff distributed a company-wide Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and Code
of Ethics for our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller. Additionally,
both the Codes were posted on TeamStaffs internal intranet website and are available on
TeamStaffs Internet web address, www.teamstaff.com. These Codes were adopted by TeamStaffs Board
of Directors, and provide employees with a confidential method of reporting suspected Code
violations.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who
own, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file
with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and
other equity securities we issue. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are
required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.
Based solely on a review of the copies of such reports received by us, we believe that all Section
16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and 10% shareholders were complied
with during the 2008 fiscal year.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND RELATED INFORMATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The Board of Directors, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee and senior management
share responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring our executive
compensation program, with the Board making the final determination with respect to executive
compensation. The goal of our executive compensation program is to motivate and incentivize, as
well as provide a competitive total compensation package to our executive management team through a
combination of base salary, annual cash incentive bonuses, long-term equity incentive compensation
and broad-based benefits programs. This Compensation Discussion and Analysis explains our
compensation objectives, policies and practices with respect to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Financial Officer and certain of our other most highly-compensated executive officers as determined
in accordance with applicable SEC rules, which are collectively referred to herein as the Named
Executive Officers.
Objectives of Our Executive Compensation Program
Our executive compensation program is designed to achieve the following objectives:
|
|
|
attract and retain talented and experienced executives necessary to achieve our
strategic objectives in the highly competitive and dynamic industry in which we
compete; |
|
|
|
motivate and reward executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are
critical to our success; |
|
|
|
align the interests of our executives and stockholders by motivating executives
to increase stockholder value; |
|
|
|
to increase our long-term profitability and, accordingly, increase stockholder
value; |
|
|
|
provide a competitive compensation package in which a significant portion of
total compensation is determined by corporate and individual results and the
creation of shareholder value; and foster a shared commitment among executives by
coordinating their corporate and individual goals. |
38
Our Executive Compensation Program
Our executive compensation consists of base salary, cash incentive bonuses, long-term equity
incentive compensation and broad-based benefits programs. Consistent with the emphasis we place on
performance-based incentive compensation, cash incentive bonuses and long-term equity incentive
compensation in the form of stock options constitute a significant portion of our total executive
compensation. We structured cash incentive bonuses to be primarily tied to the achievement of
predetermined Company and individual performance goals, which are established at the beginning of
each year (or in the case of Named Executive Officers who have commenced employment during the
applicable fiscal year, at the time of or shortly following their engagement by our Company), on an
individualized basis.
Within the context of the overall objectives of our compensation program, we determined the
specific amounts of compensation to be paid to each of our executives in 2008 based on a number of
factors including:
|
|
|
our understanding of the amount of compensation generally paid by similarly situated
companies to their executives with similar roles and responsibilities; |
|
|
|
our executives performance during the fiscal year in general and as measured against
predetermined Company and individual performance goals; |
|
|
|
the roles and responsibilities of our executives; |
|
|
|
|
the individual experience and skills of, and expected contributions from, our executives; |
|
|
|
|
the amounts of compensation being paid to our other executives; |
|
|
|
|
our executives historical compensation and performance at our Company; and |
|
|
|
|
any contractual commitments we have made to our executives regarding compensation. |
Each of the primary elements of our executive compensation is discussed in detail below, including
a description of the particular element and how it fits into our overall executive compensation
program. In the descriptions below, we highlight particular compensation objectives that we have
designed our executive compensation program to address. However, it should be noted that we have
designed the various elements of our compensation program to complement each other and thereby
collectively serve all of our executive compensation objectives. Accordingly, whether or not
specifically mentioned below, we believe that each element of our executive compensation program,
to a greater or lesser extent, serves each of our compensation objectives.
To understand the Companys position within the marketplace for management talent and to assist it
in making compensation decisions that will help us attract and retain a strong management team, the
Management Resources and Compensation Committee reviews national compensation survey data, peer
financial performance and compensation information, the Companys financial performance both
against its internal financial targets and its designated peer group, and internal compensation
comparability among senior executives.
In order to assist the Committee in designing an overall effective compensation plan to reach its
goals, the Committee retained BDO Seidman, LLP as an outside compensation consultant in 2006 to
evaluate its programs and to assist it in establishing future guidelines for base salaries and
other elements of the Companys executive compensation program. Although the Committee has not
subsequently retained a compensation consultant, the Committee utilized the recommendations of BDO
Seidman, in conjunction with its business judgment based on its review of other publicly available
data, in determining executive compensation for 2008. In conducting its analysis, the Management
Resources and Compensation Committee reviewed compensation data from the following issuers that
compete in one or more of our industry segments: AMN Healthcare Services, Inc., Cross Country
Healthcare, Inc. and Medical Staffing Network Holdings, Inc.
Key Events Affecting Compensation Decisions in 2008
During fiscal 2008, the following significant events transpired which were considered by our
Management Resources and Compensation Committee in making compensation decisions for our Named
Executive Officers:
We reported income from continuing operations throughout the 2008 fiscal year for the first time
since fiscal 2003.
Completion in January 2008 of the disposition of our per diem nurse staffing business located in
Memphis, Tennessee pursuant to which we received a cash purchase price of $447,000 for the acquired
business and related assets.
39
In March 2008, we entered into a $3,000,000 amended and restated loan and security agreement
(the Loan Agreement) with Business Alliance Capital Company (BACC), a division of Sovereign
Business Capital (the Lender). Under the Loan Agreement, the Lender agreed to provide a
revolving credit facility to the Company in an aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000, subject to the
further terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. The loan is secured by a first priority lien on
all of the Companys assets. Previously in 2005, the Company and PNC Bank, National Association
(PNC) had entered into a $8,000,000 revolving credit facility (PNC Loan Facility). Pursuant to
the Loan Agreement, the Lender (i) acquired by assignment from PNC all right, title and interest of
PNC under the PNC Loan Facility, the PNC note and related loan documentation, and (ii) restructured
the PNC Loan Facility into a $3,000,000 three (3) year revolving credit facility. The loan is for
a term of 36 months and matures on March 31, 2011. Interest on the loan accrues on the daily unpaid
balance of the loan advances at a per annum rate of one-quarter (.25%) percentage point above the
Prime Rate in effect from time to time, but not less than five and one-half percent (5.5%) per
annum.
These events and transactions have strengthened our company and positioned us for future growth.
For additional information regarding these transactions, see Business in Part I of this Annual
Report. The successful completion of these transactions was taken into consideration in
compensation decisions with respect to 2008, both by the Management Resources and Compensation
Committee in its decisions relating to executive officer compensation and by the Chief Executive
Officer in his decisions relating to other executives. The Management Resources and Compensation
Committee believes that our senior management team achieved highly positive results during fiscal
2008.
Compensation Decisions
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, our Named Executive Officers received base salaries
and bonuses which the Management Resources and Compensation Committee believes reflected industry
standards, prevailing compensation practices in similar companies with which TeamStaff competes for
executive talent, the seniority and skill level of the executive officer, TeamStaffs performance,
and each executive officers contribution thereto. Base salaries and bonuses paid to our Named
Executive Officers for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are as set forth in the
table provided under the heading Executive Compensation Summary Compensation Table.
Base Salary
Our approach is to pay our executives a base salary that is competitive with those of other
executive officers in our peer group of competitive companies. We believe that a competitive base
salary is a necessary element of any compensation program that is designed to attract and retain
talented and experienced executives. We also believe that attractive base salaries can motivate and
reward executives for their overall performance. The base salary of each Named Executive Officer is
reviewed annually, and may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of such executive officers
employment agreement, where applicable, and certain performance criteria, including, without
limitation: (i) individual performance and experience; (ii) our performance as a company; (iii) the
functions performed by the executive officer; (iv) past salary; and (v) changes in the compensation
peer group in which we compete for executive talent. Discretion is used to determine the weight
given to each of the factors listed above and such weight may vary from individual to individual
and the Management Resources and Compensation Committee may decline to assign relative weight or
ranking to these factors, in its discretion. Evaluations of base salary are made regardless of
whether a Named Executive Officer has entered into an employment agreement with us, and annual
adjustments, if any, to the base salary of our Named Executive Officers are analyzed within the
context of the terms and conditions of such employment agreements. Although evaluations of and
recommendations as to base salary are made by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee
and senior management, the ultimate determination is made by the Board of Directors. Salary levels
for each of our Named Executive Officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, were also based
in part upon evaluations and recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer.
To the extent that we have entered into employment agreements with our Named Executive Officers,
the base salaries of such individuals reflect the initial base salaries that we negotiated with
them at the time of their initial employment or promotion and our subsequent adjustments to these
amounts to reflect market increases, the growth and stage of development of our company, our
executives performance and increased experience, any changes in our executives roles and
responsibilities and other factors. The initial base salaries that we negotiated with our
executives were based on our understanding of base salaries for comparable positions at similarly
situated companies at the time, the individual experience and skills of, and expected contribution
from, each executive, the roles and responsibilities of the executive, the base salaries of our
existing executives and other factors. We have entered into employment agreements with our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the terms of which are summarized below.
40
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, the base salary of Mr. Filippelli averaged
$253,932, reflecting an increase following his appointment as President and Chief Executive
Officer. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, the base salary of Mr. Filippelli
averaged $280,000, representing an increase of approximately 9% over his 2007 base salary, which is
consistent with our employment agreement with Mr. Filippelli. During the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2008, the base salary of Ms. Presuto averaged $175,000. Ms. Presuto was not a named
executive officer for our 2007 fiscal year.
Cash Incentive Bonuses
Consistent with our emphasis on performance incentive compensation programs, our executives are
eligible to receive cash incentive bonuses primarily based upon their performance as measured
against predetermined company and individual goals covering operations, business development and
commercialization, and corporate and financial achievements. These goals are recommended by senior
management to the Management Resources and Compensation Committee, and then by the Management
Resources and Compensation Committee to the Board of Directors, at the beginning of each year. The
goals are ultimately set by the Board of Directors. If a Named Executive Officer joined our Company
during a particular year, these performance goals are established at the time of or shortly
following such executives employment. The primary objective of our cash incentive bonuses is to
motivate and reward our Named Executive Officers for meeting our short-term objectives using a
performance-based compensation program with objectively determinable goals that are specifically
tailored for each executive. In addition, we may reserve a portion of each executives annual cash
incentive bonus to be paid at our discretion based on the executives overall performance. We
maintain this discretionary portion of the annual cash incentive bonuses in order to motivate our
executives overall performance and their performance relating to matters that are not addressed in
the predetermined performance goals that we set. We believe that every important aspect of
executive performance is not capable of being specifically quantified in a predetermined objective
goal. For example, events outside of our control may occur after we have established the
executives performance goals for the year that require our executives to focus their attention on
different or other strategic objectives.
We establish the target amount of our cash incentive bonuses at a level that represents a
meaningful portion of our executives currently paid out cash compensation, and set additional
threshold and maximum performance levels above and below these target levels. In establishing these
levels, in addition to considering the incentives that we want to provide to our executives, we
also consider the bonus levels for comparable positions at similarly situated companies, our
historical practices and any contractual commitments that we have relating to executive bonuses.
Overall, the targets for the performance measures were set at levels that we believed to be
achievable with strong performance by our executives. Although we cannot always predict the
different events that will impact our business during an upcoming year, we set our performance
goals for the target amount of annual incentive cash bonuses at levels that we believe will be
achieved by our executives a majority of the time. Our maximum and threshold levels for these
performance goals are determined in relation to our target levels, are intended to provide for
correspondingly greater or lesser incentives in the event that performance is within a specified
range above or below the target level, and are correspondingly easier or harder to achieve. We set
the performance goals for the maximum amount at a level that we believe will be achieved in some
years, but will not be achieved a majority of the time. At the end of each year, the Management
Resources and Compensation Committee evaluates the performance of each executive officer and
provides to the Board its recommendation for the amount of the cash incentive bonus to be paid to
each such executive for that year, with the Board making the final determination as to the amount
of the cash incentive bonus.
Under his employment agreement, Mr. Filippelli will also be entitled to a cash bonus of up to 70%
of his annual base salary in the discretion of the Board of Directors as recommended by the
Management Resources and Compensation Committee, subject to certain performance and EBITDA
requirements, as well as up to an additional $60,000 for exceeding certain performance and EBITDA
requirements.
Under her employment agreement, Ms. Presuto will also be entitled to a cash bonus of up to 50% of
her annual base salary in the discretion of the Board of Directors as recommended by the Management
Resources and Compensation Committee, subject to certain performance and EBITDA requirements, as
well as up to an additional $30,000 for exceeding certain performance and EBITDA requirements.
41
For our 2008 fiscal year, Mr. Filippelli received a bonus of $196,000 which amount was earned under
his employment agreement. For our 2008 fiscal year, Ms. Presuto received a bonus of $87,500 which
amount was earned under her employment agreement. As noted above, the amount of the bonus paid to
each Named Executive Officer also reflects the extent to which such executive achieved the
milestones established at the beginning of the year, plus the amount of the discretionary bonus
that is based on our assessment of their overall performance during the year. For our 2007 fiscal
year, Mr. Filippelli received a bonus of $185,500 which amount was earned under his employment
agreement. Ms. Presuto was not a named executive officer for our 2007 fiscal year.
Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation
We believe that long-term company performance is best achieved through an ownership culture that
encourages long-term performance by our executive officers through the use of stock-based awards.
We grant stock options and restricted stock awards in order to provide certain executive officers
with a competitive total compensation package and to reward them for their contribution to our
long-term growth in value and the long-term price performance of our common stock. Grants of
equity-based awards are designed to align the executive officers interest with that of our
shareholders. To assist us in retaining executives and encouraging them to seek long-term
appreciation in the value of our stock, the benefits of the awards generally are not immediately
realizable by the grantee as the awards vest over a specified period, usually three years, and
therefore an employee must remain with us for a specified period to enjoy the full potential
economic benefit of an award. We may consider as one of a number of factors the level of an
executive officers realizable compensation from awards granted in prior years when making
decisions with respect to awards to be granted to that executive officer for the most recently
ended fiscal year.
Based on the stage of our development and the incentives we are trying to provide to our
executives, we have currently chosen to use restricted stock awards. Our decisions regarding the
amount and type of long-term equity incentive compensation and relative weighting of these awards
among total executive compensation have also been based on our understanding of market practices of
similarly situated companies and our negotiations with our executives in connection with their
initial employment or promotion by us.
The Management Resources and Compensation Committee periodically reviews the number of vested and
unvested equity awards held by Named Executive Officers and makes additional grants to these
executives to provide greater incentives to continue employment with TeamStaff and to strive to
increase shareholder value. Stock options typically have been granted to executive officers when
the executive first joins TeamStaff, in connection with a significant change in responsibilities
and, occasionally, to achieve equity within a peer group. During the fiscal year ended September
30, 2008, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee made grants of restricted stock to
executive officers, as described in the section entitled Executive Compensation Restricted Stock
Grants in Last Fiscal Year. The primary factors upon which specific grants made by the Management
Resources and Compensation Committee during fiscal year 2008 were based are the executives past
performance, anticipated future contribution, consistency within the executives peer group, prior
option grants to the executive officer, the percentage of outstanding equity owned by the
executive, the level of vested and unvested options, competitive market practices and the
executives responsibilities and performance. The Management Resources and Compensation Committee
does not set specific target levels for options or restricted stock granted to named executive
officers or for the Chief Executive Officer but seeks to be competitive with similar companies.
Stock option awards provide our executive officers with the right to purchase shares of our common
stock at a fixed exercise price based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant
and are exercisable for a period of up to ten years, subject to continued employment with our
company. Stock options are earned on the basis of continued service to us and generally vest over
three years, beginning with one-third vesting one year after the date of grant with the balance
then vesting in equal monthly installments over the following two year period. Such vesting is
intended as an incentive to such executive officers to remain with us and to provide a long-term
incentive.
Restricted stock awards are also subject to vesting requirements as determined by our Management
Resources and Compensation Committee. For the restricted stock awards granted to our Named
Executive Officers during the 2008 fiscal year, these awards vest as follows: one-third of the
restricted shares vest on the date of grant, and the remaining shares vest in two equal annual
installments on September 30, 2008 and 2009, upon satisfaction of the performance targets and other
key objectives established by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee.
42
Options are generally exercisable for a limited period of time after termination of employment
(other than termination for cause) if vested, subject to certain rights that were negotiated in
connection with the employment agreements we entered into with our Named Executive Officers. We do
not require that any portion of the shares acquired be held until retirement, we do not have a
policy prohibiting a director or executive officer from hedging the economic risks of his or her
stock ownership and we do not have any minimum stock ownership requirements for executive officers
and directors. Equity-linked compensation awards are made pursuant to our 2006 Long Term Incentive
Plan (the 2006 Plan). See Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control for a discussion of
the change-in-control provisions related to stock options and restricted stock awards. The exercise
price of each stock option granted under the 2006 Plan is based on the fair market value of our
common stock on the grant date and the Management Resources and Compensation Committee has set the
exercise price of the options granted to our Named Executive Officers other than our Chief
Executive Officer at a price greater than the fair market value in order to reinforce the incentive
nature of the award.
In addition to periodically granting performance-based stock options, we also granted options to
certain of our Named Executive Officers at the time of their hiring as an incentive to accept
employment with us.
We granted Mr. Filippelli 32,500 shares of restricted stock in connection with the approval of the
formal letter agreement, dated as of February 14, 2007, modifying his employment agreement
following his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer. Such restricted shares granted
to Mr. Filippelli were subject to the following vesting schedule: (i) 7,500 shares vested on the
grant date, (ii) 12,500 shares were to vest on September 30, 2008, subject to certain performance
based vesting requirements, and (iii) 12,500 shares were to vest on September 30, 2009 subject to
certain performance based vesting requirements. In connection with a new employment agreement with
Mr. Filippelli, dated as of April 17, 2008, 25,000 unvested shares were cancelled and 41,250 shares
of restricted stock were granted. Such restricted shares granted to Mr. Filippelli were subject to
the following vesting schedule: (i) 13,750 shares vested on the grant date, (ii) 13,750 shares
vested on September 30, 2008, which were subject to certain performance based vesting requirements,
and (iii) 13,750 shares will vest on September 30, 2009 subject to certain performance based
vesting requirements.
In connection with an employment agreement with Ms. Presuto, dated as of July 30, 2008, 30,000
shares of restricted stock were granted. Such restricted shares granted to Ms. Presuto were
subject to the following vesting schedule: (i) 10,000 shares vested on the grant date, (ii) 10,000
shares vested on September 30, 2008, which were subject to certain performance based vesting
requirements, and (iii) 10,000 shares will vest on September 30, 2009 subject to certain
performance based vesting requirements.
Awards granted under our equity compensation plans are based on a number of factors, including: (i)
the grantees position with us; (ii) his or her performance and responsibilities; (iii) the extent
to which he or she already holds an equity stake with us; (iv) equity participation levels of
comparable executives at other companies in the compensation peer group; (v) general corporate
performance; (vi) the Chief Executive Officers recommendations; (vii) the current stock price; and
(viii) individual contribution to the success of our financial performance. However, the plans do
not provide any formulated method for weighing these factors, and a decision to grant an award is
based primarily upon the evaluation by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee, in
consultation with senior management and the Board of Directors, of the past as well as the
anticipated future performance and responsibilities of the individual in question. Awards to
executive officers are first reviewed and approved by the Management Resources and Compensation
Committee, which then makes a recommendation for final approval by our Board of Directors. Option
grants to executives other than the Chief Executive Officer are approved by the Management
Resources and Compensation Committee based upon recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer
based upon the individual executives performance and market data relating to option grants to
individuals occupying similar positions at comparably situated companies.
See the tabular disclosure presented below under the heading Executive Compensation Tables
Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2008 for a summary of the equity awards granted to our Named
Executive Officers during fiscal 2008.
Other Compensation
We maintain broad-based benefits that are provided to all employees, including health insurance,
life and disability insurance and a 401(k) plan. Executive officers participate in these plans on
the same terms as eligible, non-executive employees, subject to any legal limits on the amounts
that may be contributed or paid to executive officers under these plans. Generally, we do not
provide any special reimbursement for perquisites, such as country clubs, corporate aircraft,
living or security expenses, for our employees or for any executive officers.
Pension Benefits. We do not offer qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans to our executive
officers or employees. In the future, we may elect to adopt qualified or non-qualified defined
benefit plans if we determine that doing so is in our best interests.
43
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation. None of our Named Executive Officers participates in or has
account balances in non-qualified defined contribution plans or other deferred compensation plans
maintained by us. To date, we have not had a significant reason to offer such non-qualified defined
contribution plans or other deferred compensation plans. In the future, we may elect to provide our
executive officers or other employees with non-qualified defined contribution or deferred
compensation benefits if we determine that doing so is in our best interests.
Severance and Change of Control Arrangements. As discussed more fully in the section below entitled
Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control, certain of our executive officers are entitled to
certain benefits upon the termination of their respective employment agreements. The severance
agreements are intended to mitigate some of the risk that our executive officers may bear in
working for a company competing in a highly competitive and dynamic industry, such as ours.
Perquisites. The Company generally does not provide its named executive officers with
perquisites.
Policies Regarding Tax Deductibility of Compensation. Within our performance-based
compensation program, we aim to compensate the Named Executive Officers in a manner that is
tax-effective for us. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code restricts the ability of
publicly-held companies to take a federal income tax deduction for compensation paid to certain of
their executive officers to the extent that compensation exceeds $1.0 million per covered officer
in any fiscal year. However, this limitation does not apply to compensation that is
performance-based. We consider these requirements in our compensation determinations. The
non-performance-based compensation paid in cash to our executive officers in the 2008 fiscal year
did not exceed the $1.0 million limit per officer, and we do not anticipate that the
non-performance-based compensation to be paid in cash to our executive officers in 2008 will exceed
that limit. To maintain flexibility in compensating executive officers in a manner designed to
promote varying corporate goals, our Management Resources and Compensation Committee has not
adopted a policy requiring all compensation to be deductible. Our Management Resources and
Compensation Committee intends to continue to evaluate the effects of the compensation limits of
Section 162(m) and to grant compensation awards in the future in a manner consistent with the best
interests of our company and our stockholders.
Subsequent to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, we entered into employment agreements with
Kevin Wilson, the President of our TeamStaff GS subsidiary and Dale West, the President of our
TeamStaff Rx subsidiary. Due to the timing of such appointments, these persons are not considered
named executive officers for the purpose of this Compensation Disclosure and Analysis and the
additional disclosures that follow in Item 11 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. However, we have
presented a summary of the material terms and conditions of our employment agreements with these
officers below under the caption Executive Compensation and Related Information Employment
Agreements with Other Executive Officers.

Additional Information. The Summary Compensation Table above quantifies the amount or value of the
different forms of compensation earned by or awarded to our Named Executive Officers in fiscal 2008
and provides a dollar amount for total compensation. Descriptions of the material terms of each
Named Executive Officers employment agreement and related information is provided under
Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers below. The agreements provide the general
framework and some of the specific terms for the compensation of the Named Executive Officers.
Approval of the Management Resources and Compensation Committee and/or the Board of Directors is
required prior to our entering into employment agreements with its executive officers or amendments
to those agreements. However, many of the decisions relating to compensation for a specific year
are made by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee and are implemented without changes
to the general terms of employment set forth in those agreements. For a discussion of the salary,
bonus and equity compensation of our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2008 and the decisions
made by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee relating to 2008 compensation, see
Compensation Discussion and Analysis above. In addition, the Named Executive Officers earned or
were paid the other benefits listed in the Summary Compensation Table and described in footnotes to
the table. We have determined that Ms. Dale West, the President of TeamStaff Rx was not a Named
Executive Officer for fiscal 2008 in light of the fact that she commenced employment with us on
September 19, 2008. Similarly, Mr. Kevin Wilson, the President of TeamStaff GS is not considered a
Named Executive Officer as his appointment to such position was made in October 2008, subsequent to
our 2008 fiscal year end.
Grants of Plan-Based Awards

Additional Information. For information regarding the effect on the vesting and treatment of these
stock awards on the death, disability or termination of employment of a Named Executive Officer or
a change in control of our company, see Potential Payments and Other Benefits Upon Termination of
Employment or a Change in Control and Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers below.
Each award of Restricted Stock to our Named Executive Officers in fiscal 2008 represents an award
of Common Stock that is subject to certain restrictions, including restrictions on transferability.
These Restricted Stock Awards were granted under our 2006 Plan. The restrictions lapse in
accordance with the terms of the award agreement. Holders of shares of Restricted Stock have voting
power and the right to receive dividends, if any, that are declared on those shares which are
vested. The grants of Restricted Stock made to our Named Executive Officers vest as described in
the footnotes to the above table. The 2006 Plan is administered by the Management Resources and
Compensation Committee. The committee has authority to interpret the plan provisions and make all
required determinations under those plans. This authority includes making required proportionate
adjustments to outstanding awards upon the occurrence of certain corporate events such as
reorganizations, mergers and stock splits. Awards granted under the 2006 Plan are generally only
transferable to a beneficiary of a Plan participant upon his or her death. However, the committee
may establish procedures for the transfer of awards to other persons or entities, provided that
such transfers comply with applicable laws.
Discussion of Summary Compensation and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Tables
Our executive compensation policies and practices, pursuant to which the compensation set forth in
the Summary Compensation table and the Grants of Plan Based Awards table was paid or awarded, are
described above under Compensation Discussion and Analysis. A summary of certain material terms
of our compensation plans and arrangements is set forth below.

Stock Option Plans
2000 Employee Stock Option Plan
In the fiscal year 2000, the Board of Directors and shareholders approved the adoption of the 2000
Employee Plan to provide for the grant of options to purchase up to 1,714,286 shares of TeamStaffs
common stock to all employees, including senior management. The 2000 Employee Plan replaced the
1990 Employee Plan and Senior Management Plans, both of which expired. Under the terms of the
approved 2000 Employee Plan, options granted there under may be designated as options which qualify
for incentive stock option treatment (ISOs) under Section 422A of the Code, or options which do
not so qualify (Non-ISOs). As of September 30, 2008, there were 17,000 options outstanding
under the 2000 Employee Plan.
The 2000 Employee Plan is administered by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee
designated by the Board of Directors. The Management Resources and Compensation Committee has the
discretion to determine the eligible employees to whom, and the times and the price at which,
options will be granted; whether such options shall be ISOs or Non-ISOs; the periods during which
each option will be exercisable; and the number of shares subject to each option. The Committee
has full authority to interpret the 2000 Employee Plan and to establish and amend rules and
regulations relating thereto.
Under the 2000 Employee Plan, the exercise price of an option designated, as an ISO shall not be
less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. However, in
the event an option designated as an ISO is granted to a ten percent (10%) shareholder (as defined
in the 2000 Employee Plan), such exercise price shall be at least 110% of such fair market value.
Exercise prices of Non-ISO options may be less than such fair market value.
The aggregate fair market value of shares subject to options granted to a participant, which are
designated as ISOs and which become exercisable in any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.
The Management Resources and Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant bonuses or
authorize loans to or guarantee loans obtained by an optionee to enable such optionee to pay the
exercise price or any taxes that may arise in connection with the exercise or cancellation of an
option. The Management Resources and Compensation Committee can also permit the payment of the
exercise price in the common stock of the Company held by the optionee for at least six months
prior to exercise.
2000 Non-Executive Director Option Plan
In fiscal year 2000, the Board of Directors and stockholders approved the adoption of the 2000
Non-Executive Director Plan (the 2000 Non-Executive Director Plan) to provide for the grant of
options to non-employee directors of TeamStaff. Under the terms of the 2000 Non-Executive 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 2000 Non-Executive 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. The 2000 Non-Executive Director Plan
replaced the previous director plan that expired in April 2000.
Under the 2000 Non-Executive Director Plan, the exercise price for options granted under the 2000
Non-Executive Director Plan shall be 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date
of grant. Until otherwise provided in such Plan, the exercise price of options granted under the
2000 Non-Executive Director Plan must be paid at the time of exercise, either in cash, by delivery
of shares of common stock of TeamStaff or by a combination of each. The term of each option
commences on the date it is granted and unless terminated sooner as provided in the 2000
Non-Executive Director Plan, expires five (5) years from the date of grant. The Compensation
Committee has no discretion to determine which non-executive director or advisory board member will
receive options or the number of shares subject to the option, the term of the option or the
exercisability of the option. However, the Compensation Committee will make all determinations of
the interpretation of the 2000 Non-Executive Director Plan. Options granted under the 2000
Non-Executive Director Plan are not qualified for incentive stock option treatment. As of
September 30, 2008, there were 15,625 options held by directors outstanding under the 2000
Non-Executive Director Plan.
Effective January 19, 2007, the 2000 Non-Executive Director Plan was suspended due to a change in
the compensation terms for non-employee Board members. For additional information regarding our
director compensation policy, see below under the caption Director Compensation.

2006 Long Term Incentive Plan
The Board of Directors adopted the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan on January 17, 2006. The
shareholders approved the 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan at the annual meeting on April 27, 2006.
The Company reserved an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2006
Long Term Incentive Plan. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered to
participants under the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan equals the sum of: (a) 5,000,000 shares of
common stock; (b) any shares subject to awards granted under the 2000 Employee Plan and the 2000
Non-Executive Director Plan (collectively, the 2000 Plans), which are forfeited, expired,
canceled or settled in cash without delivery of such shares to the participant or otherwise is
terminated without a share issuance; (c) any shares tendered by participants or withheld in payment
of the exercise price of options or to satisfy withholding taxes under the 2000 Plans; and (d) any
shares repurchased with the proceeds of options exercised under the 2000 Plans. As of September
30, 2008, there were 214,166 shares of common stock granted pursuant to awards under the 2006 Long
Term Incentive Plan.
Administration. The 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee.
The 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to select those
participants to whom awards may be granted, to determine whether and to what extent awards are
granted, to determine the number of shares of common stock or other considerations to be covered by
each award, to determine the terms and conditions of awards, to amend the terms of outstanding
awards, and to take any other action consistent with the terms of the 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan
as the Committee deems appropriate.
Terms and Conditions of Awards. The Compensation Committee is authorized to make any type of award
to a participant that is consistent with the provisions of the Plan. Awards may consist of options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, cash
awards or any combination of these types of awards.
Subject to the terms of the 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee determines
the provisions, terms and conditions of each award. The Committee may grant awards subject to
vesting schedules or restrictions and contingencies in the companys favor. However, the awards may
be subject to acceleration such that they become fully vested, exercisable and released from any
restrictions or contingencies upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the Plan).
The Committee may provide that stock-based awards earn dividends or dividend equivalents, which may
be paid in cash or shares or may be credited to an account designated in the name of the
participants. Participants may also be required or permitted to defer the issuance of shares or
cash settlements under awards including under other deferred compensation arrangements of the
company. Each option granted under the Plan will be designated as either an incentive stock option
or a non-statutory stock option. No option or stock appreciation right may be granted with a term
of more than 10 years from the date of grant.
Performance shares or cash awards will depend on achievement of performance goals based on one or
more performance measures determined by the Committee over a performance period as prescribed by
the Committee of not less than one year and not more than five years. Performance goals may be
established on a corporate-wide basis or as to one or more business units, divisions or
subsidiaries, and may be in either absolute terms or relative to the performance of one or more
comparable companies on an index covering multiple companies. Performance measures means criteria
established by the Committee from time to time prior to granting the performance shares or cash
awards.
Exercise Price. The Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to grant options and stock
appreciation rights at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the
shares on the date of grant. The Committee has the right to provide post-grant reduction in
exercise price to reflect any floating index as specified in an award agreement. The exercise price
is generally payable in cash, check, surrender of pre-owned shares of common stock, broker-dealer
exercise and sale, or by such other means determined by the Committee.
Option Repricing Prohibited. The exercise price for any outstanding option or stock appreciation
right may not be decreased after the date of grant, nor may any outstanding option or stock
appreciation right be surrendered as consideration for the grant of a new option or stock
appreciation right with a lower exercise price.
55
Pension Benefits
None of our Named Executive Officers or former executive officers are covered by a pension plan or
other similar benefit plan that provides for payments or other benefits at, following, or in
connection with retirement.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
None of our Named Executive Officers or former executive officers are covered by a defined
contribution or other plan that provides for the deferral of compensation on a basis that is not
tax-qualified.
Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
The discussion and tables below reflect the estimated benefits that would be paid or accrue to each
of the Named Executive Officers in the event of the following hypothetical scenarios:
|
|
|
termination without cause, or constructive (good reason) termination (including upon
the occurrence of a change in control of a company; |
|
|
|
|
termination for cause; |
|
|
|
|
upon an executives disability; or |
|
|
|
|
in the event of the executives death. |
Background and Assumptions. In this section, we provide estimates of amounts that may become
payable to our Named Executive Officers under their employment agreements as a result of a
termination of employment under specific circumstances, as well as estimates regarding the value of
other benefits they may become entitled to receive as a result of such termination. For example,
such other benefits typically include, with respect to outstanding equity awards, continuation or
acceleration of vesting. For a detailed description of the applicable provisions of the employment
agreements of our Named Executive Officers, see Employment Agreements with Named Executive
Officers below. Under those agreements, the amount and types of payment and other benefits vary
depending on whether the termination is as a result of death or disability, is with or without
cause, is a resignation for good reason and/or is in connection with a change in control. As
prescribed by applicable SEC rules, in estimating the amount of any potential payments to Named
Executive Officers under their employment agreements and the value of other benefits they may
become entitled to receive, we have assumed that the applicable triggering event (i.e., termination
of employment or change in control) occurred on September 30, 2008, that the price per share of
Common Stock is $2.47, the closing price per share on September 30, 2008, the last trading day of
our 2008 fiscal year. We have also treated the right to continue to vest in awards as accelerated
to September 30, 2008 for purposes of this disclosure only.
Rick J. Filippelli
Death or Disability. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, if Mr. Filippellis
employment is terminated as a result of his death, Mr. Filippelli or his estate, as applicable,
would receive any accrued but unpaid compensation, continued participation in our health and
welfare plans for a period not to exceed 12 months from the termination date and payment of a
Pro Rata Bonus, which is defined as an amount equal to the maximum bonus Mr. Filippelli had an
opportunity to earn multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days
from the commencement of the fiscal year to the termination date, and the denominator of which
shall be the number of days in the fiscal year in which Mr. Filippelli was terminated. If Mr.
Filippellis employment is terminated as a result of disability, Mr. Filippelli or his estate, as
applicable, would receive any accrued but unpaid compensation, a severance payment of 12 months
of base salary, continued participation in our health and welfare plans for a period not to
exceed 12 months from the termination date and a pro rata bonus as described above.
Further, in the event of a termination due to his death or disability, Mr. Filippellis (or his
estates or legal representatives) right to purchase shares of common stock pursuant to any stock
option or stock option plan to the extent vested as of the termination date shall remain
exercisable for a period of twelve months following such date, but in no event after the expiration
of the exercise period.
56
Cause. If Mr. Filippellis employment is terminated for cause or he terminates his employment with
out good reason, he would be entitled to his base salary and expense reimbursement through the date
of termination, and he shall have no further entitlement to any other compensation or benefits. All
stock options that have not been exercised as of the date of termination for cause shall be deemed
to have expired as of such date, otherwise, options vested as of the date of termination may be
exercised for a period of three months thereafter.
Without Cause or for Good Reason. If Mr. Filippellis employment is terminated by the company
without cause, or by him for good reason, or if either (1) we fail to timely notify him or our
intent to renew his agreement or (2) after providing such notice, we fail to reach an agreement on
a new employment agreement with him prior to the expiration date, then we would be obligated to pay
Mr. Filippelli his accrued but unpaid compensation, a severance payment of 12 months of base salary
and continued participation in our health and welfare plans for a period not to exceed 12 months
from the termination date.
Change of Control. Upon the effective date of a change of control (as defined in Mr.
Filippellis employment agreement), we would be obligated to pay him, in one lump sum payment an
amount equal to his then current base salary. He would be entitled to such payment whether or not
his employment with the Company continues after the change of control. In addition, in the event
of a change of control, if within 180 days of a change of control, Mr. Filippelli is terminated, or
his status, title, position or responsibilities are materially reduced and Mr. Filippelli
terminates his employment, we would be required to pay and/or provide him with: (i) accrued but
unpaid
compensation; (ii) continuation benefits; and (iii) severance pay equal to base salary for a period
of 12 months payable in equal installments on each of the Companys regular pay dates for
executives. In addition, all incentive awards, including restricted stock, stock options and
granted performance shares or units shall be immediately and fully invested. Further, any such
options shall be deemed amended to provide that in the event of termination after a change of
control, the options shall remain exercisable for the duration of their term. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the payments due in the event of a change in control would constitute an excess
parachute payment as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code), the aggregate of such credits or payments under the employment agreement and other
agreements shall be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such aggregate
payments being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. The priority of the
reduction of excess parachute payments shall be in the discretion of Mr. Filippelli.
Employee Covenants. In his employment agreement, Mr. Filippelli agreed to keep confidential and not
disclose any confidential or proprietary information owned by, or received by or on behalf of, us
or any of our affiliates, during the term of the agreement or at any time thereafter. He also
agreed to return such confidential and proprietary information to us immediately in the event of
any termination of employment. Mr. Filippelli also agreed, during the term of the agreement and for
a period of one year thereafter, to not in any manner enter into or engage in any business that is
engaged in any business directly competitive with our business anywhere in the world, with limited
exceptions. Moreover, Mr. Filippelli agreed, during the term of the agreement and for a period of
12 months thereafter, to not, directly or indirectly, without our prior written consent: (i)
solicit or induce any employee of us or any of our affiliates to leave such employ; or (ii) solicit
the business of any customer with respect to products or services that compete directly with the
products or services provided or supplied by us.
Cheryl Presuto
Payments and benefits due to Ms. Presuto upon the termination of her employment or in the event of
a change of control are the same as described above for Mr. Filippelli.
2000 Employee Plan
Corporate Transactions. Notwithstanding any contrary waiting period in any stock option agreement
issued pursuant to the 2000 Employee Plan, but subject to any determination by our Board of
Directors to provide otherwise, each outstanding option shall, except as otherwise provided in the
stock option agreement, become exercisable in full for the aggregate number of shares covered
thereby and shall vest unconditionally on the first day following the occurrence of any of the
following: (a) the approval by our stockholders of an approved transaction; (b) a control purchase;
or (c) a board change, as each such term is defined in the 2000 Employee Plan.
Termination of Employment. If a grantees employment or service is terminated for cause, any
unexercised option shall terminate effective immediately upon such termination of employment or
service. Except as otherwise provided by in an award agreement, if a grantees employment or
service terminates on account of death or disability, then any unexercised option, to the extent
exercisable on the date of such termination of employment or service, may be exercised, in whole or
in part, within the first twelve (12) months after such termination of employment or service (but
only during the option term) by his or her personal representative or by the person to whom the
option is transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution.
Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in the award agreement, if a grantees employment or
service terminates for any reason other than for cause, death, disability or pursuant to a change
of control, then any unexercised option, to the extent exercisable immediately before the grantees
termination of employment or service, may be exercised in whole or in part, not later than three
(3) months after such termination of employment or service (but only during the option term); and,
to the extent that any such option was not exercisable on the date of such termination of
employment or service, it will immediately terminate.
57
2006 Long Term Incentive Plan
Termination and Change in Control Provisions. Unless the Management Resources and
Compensation Committee determines otherwise at the time of grant with respect to a particular
award granted under the 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan, in the event of a termination of service for
any reason other than for cause or a termination of service in connection with a Change in Control
as defined in such Plan: (i) any options and stock appreciation rights outstanding as of the date
such Change in Control occurs, and which are not then exercisable and vested, will become fully
exercisable and vested; (ii) the restrictions and deferral limitations applicable to any restricted
stock
outstanding as of the date such Change in Control occurs will lapse, and such restricted stock will
become free of all restrictions and limitations and become fully vested and transferable; (iii) all
performance awards outstanding as of the date such Change in Control occurs will be considered to
be earned and payable in full, or at such other level as may be specified in the applicable award
agreement between the participant and the Company, and any deferral or other restriction will lapse
and such performance awards will be immediately settled or distributed; and (iv) the restrictions
and deferral limitations and other conditions applicable to any other awards outstanding as of the
date such Change in Control occurs will lapse, and such other awards will become free of all
restrictions, limitations or conditions and become fully vested and transferable.
Termination by Reason of Death or Disability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee,
if a participants service is terminated by reason of death or disability, any option held by such
person will vest in full and remain exercisable until (i) in the case of a Nonstatutory Stock
Option, the first anniversary of such termination of service and (ii) in the case of an Incentive
Stock Option, the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of such termination or (B) the expiration of
the stated term of such option.
Termination by Reason of Retirement. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if a
participants service is terminated by reason of retirement (as defined in such Plan, any option
held by such person may thereafter be exercised by such person to the extent it was exercisable at
the time of such termination or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, until the
earlier of (i) the third anniversary of such termination of service or (ii) the expiration of the
stated term of such option.
Other Terminations. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee: (i) if a participant is
terminated for cause all options held by such person will immediately terminate; (ii) if a
participant is terminated by the Company for any reason other than death, disability, retirement or
for cause, any option held by such person may, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of
termination, be exercised until the earlier of (A) 90 days from the date of such termination or (B)
the expiration of the stated term of the option; and (iii) if a person voluntarily terminates his
or her service with the Company (other than for retirement), any option held by such person may, to
the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination, be exercised until the earlier of (A) 30
days from the date of such termination or (B) the expiration of the stated term of the option.
2000 Non-Executive Director Plan
Corporate Transactions. Notwithstanding any contrary installment period with respect to any option
and unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise, each outstanding option granted under the
2000 Non-Executive Director Plan shall become exercisable in full for the aggregate number of
shares covered thereby in the event: (i) the Board of Directors (or, if approval of the
stockholders is required as a matter of law, the stockholders of the Company) shall approve (a) any
consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving
corporation or pursuant to which shares of shares of common stock would be converted into cash,
securities or other property, other than a merger of the Company in which the holders of common
stock immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of common stock of the
surviving corporation immediately after the merger, or (b) any sale, lease, exchange, or other
transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of
the assets of the Company, or (c) the adoption of any plan for the
58
liquidation or dissolution of
the Company; or (ii) any person, corporation or other entity (a) shall purchase any common stock
(or securities convertible into the Companys common stock) for cash, securities or any other

of Directors, or (b) shall become the beneficial owner (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing
twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities
of the Company ordinarily having the right to vote in the election of Directors; or (iii) during
any period of two consecutive years or less, individuals who at the beginning of such period
constitute the entire Board of Directors shall cease for any reason to constitute a majority
thereof unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Companys stockholders, of each
new director was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then still in office.
Termination of Service. In the event of the termination of service of a non-executive director,
options shall terminate on the earlier of the expiration date or the date seven months following
the date of termination of service as a director. If termination of service is due to directors
death, the option shall terminate on the earlier of the expiration date or twelve months following
the date of death.
Termination Scenario Summary Tables
The amounts shown in the tables below assume that the noted triggering event occurred on September
30, 2008. Other relevant assumptions and explanations are provided in the footnotes following the
tables. The amounts shown reflect only the additional payments or benefits that a Named Executive
Officer would have received upon the occurrence of the respective triggering events listed below;
they do not include the value of payments or benefits that would have been earned, or any amounts
associated with equity awards that would have vested absent the triggering event.

This table provides information for each continuing Named Executive Officer. All references to base salary
and annual target bonus refer to the amounts described above under Summary of Executive Employment
Agreements and Compensatory Terms. |
|
(2) |
|
If we terminate the executive without cause, or the executive resigns for good reason as defined in his
executive employment agreement (as described above), the executive will be entitled to receive the
compensation as shown in the table |
|
(3) |
|
If we terminate the executives employment without cause, or if the executive resigns for good reason as
defined in his executive employment agreement, in either case within 180 days following a change of
control, then the executive will be entitled to receive in lieu of other termination compensation the
amounts listed as shown in the table, plus any accrued but not yet paid salary. In addition, upon the
effective date of a change of control, the executive will also be entitled to receive in 12 equal monthly
payments an amount equal to his then current base salary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the payments
due in the event of a change in control would constitute an excess parachute payment as defined in
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), the aggregate of such credits
or payments under the employment agreement and other agreements shall be reduced to the largest amount as
will result in no portion of such aggregate payments being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section
4999 of the Code. The priority of the reduction of excess parachute payments shall be in the discretion of
the named executive officer. |

Estimated value of accelerated vesting of stock options represents the expense as calculated in accordance
with FAS123(R). For the purposes of this tabular presentation, we have assumed that the performance-based
vesting conditions of the restricted stock awards granted to the Named Executive Officers have not occurred
and that following termination of employment for the reasons contemplated in this table, such awards remain
unvested but outstanding. The fair market value of the restricted stock awards as of September 30, 2008 was
$2.47 based on the closing price of the companys common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on
such date. |

In the event the executive becomes physically or mentally disabled such that he is unable to perform his
duties for a period of 180 consecutive days, we may terminate the executives employment, unless otherwise
prohibited by law. In the event of termination due to disability, we will continue the executives base
salary (less any short term disability payments the executive receives from our company) in accordance with
the terms of his employment agreement. In the event the executive becomes disabled, options will vest in
full and remain exercisable (i) in the case of nonstatutory stock options until the first anniversary of
such termination, and (ii) in the case of an incentive stock options, the earlier of (A) the first
anniversary of the date of death and (B) the expiration of the stated term of the incentive stock option;
provided, however, that if the executive dies within such period, notwithstanding the expiration of such
period, any unexercised stock option may thereafter be exercised (i) in the case of nonstatutory stock
options for a period of one year from the date of death, and (ii) in the case of an incentive stock
options, until the earlier of the (A) first anniversary of the date of death and (B) the expiration of the
stated term of the incentive stock option. In the event of an executives disability, any unvested shares
of restricted stock will immediately become fully vested. |
|
(2) |
|
An executives employment will terminate automatically upon death. We will pay the executives accrued
compensation through the date of death and his pro rated bonus for the fiscal year in which his death
occurred, to his stated beneficiary. Upon the executives death, options will vest in full and remain
exercisable (i) in the case of nonstatutory stock options until the first anniversary of such termination,
and (ii) in the case of an incentive stock options, the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of
death and the and the expiration of the stated term of the incentive stock option. In the event of an
executives death, any unvested shares of restricted stock will immediately become fully vested. |

(3) |
|
Cash payments consist of severance payments (which may include payment of bonuses) as determined under the
Named Executive Officers employment agreement. |
|
(4) |
|
The estimated value of continued benefits in effect on the termination date for a period of up to 12 months. |
|
(5) |
|
Estimated value of accelerated vesting of stock options represents the expense as calculated in accordance
with FAS123(R). For the purposes of this tabular presentation, we have assumed that the performance-based
vesting conditions of the restricted stock awards granted to the Named Executive Officers have not occurred
and that following termination of employment for the reasons contemplated in this table, such awards remain
unvested but outstanding. The fair market value of the restricted stock awards as of September 30, 2008 was
$2.47 based on the closing price of the companys common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on
such date. |
Director Compensation
Effective January 19, 2007, the Board of Directors changed the compensation terms for non-employee
Board members. The Board agreed to forego all cash compensation in lieu of restricted stock grants.
Each non-employee Board member will receive an initial grant under the Companys 2006 Long-Term
Incentive Plan of 3,750 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 625 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 Companys common stock over any 20
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
Companys Compensation Committee. Non-employee Board members also receive reimbursement of their
Board-related travel, cell phone and similar expenses.
Effective as of October 1, 2007, our Board determined to reinstitute a cash compensation policy for
non-executive directors. Accordingly, our non-executive directors are compensated as follows.
|
|
|
The annual director fee for our non-executive directors is $15,000; |
|
|
|
|
the Chairman of Board and the Audit Committee Chairman shall receive an additional
$3,500 per year; |
|
|
|
|
the Vice Chairman of the Board, Chairman of the Management Resources and Compensation
Committee and Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall each
receive an additional $2,500 per year; |
60
|
|
|
each non-executive director shall be awarded an annual grant of 3,750 shares of
restricted common stock pursuant to the Company 2006 Long Term Incentive Policy
following the Companys annual meeting of shareholders held in 2008, provided that such
award shall vest as follows: (A) 50% of the Award shall vest when the volume-weighted
average share price over any 20 consecutive trading days exceeds the price per share of
common stock on the date of grant by 20%; and (B) 50% of the Award shall vest one year
from the vesting specified in (A) above; |
|
|
|
|
each non-executive director shall be eligible for an additional annual grant of 1,250
shares of restricted stock for each committee membership held by a non-executive director
following the Companys annual meeting to be held in 2008, with such under the Companys
2006 Long Term Incentive Plan, with such additional award to be fully vested on the date
of grant; |
|
|
|
|
Reasonable and customary expenses incurred in attending the board and committee
meetings are reimbursable. |

Although we have not adopted a formal policy relating to the approval of proposed transactions that
we may enter into with any of our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders,
including their immediate family members and affiliates, our Audit Committee, all of the members of
which are independent, reviews the terms of any and all such proposed material related party
transactions. The results of this review are then communicated to the entire Board of Directors,
which has the ultimate authority as to whether or not we enter into such transactions. We will not
enter into any material related party transaction without the prior consent of our Audit Committee
and our Board of Directors. In approving or rejecting the proposed related party transaction, our
Audit Committee and our Board of Directors shall consider the relevant facts and circumstances
available and deemed relevant to them, including, but not limited to the risks, costs and benefits
to us, the terms of the transaction, the availability of other sources for comparable services or
products, and, if applicable, the impact on a directors independence. We shall approve only those
agreements that, in light of known circumstances, are in, or are not inconsistent with, our best
interests, as our Audit Committee and our Board of Directors determine in the good faith exercise
of their discretion.

Independence of our Board of Directors and its Committees
The listing rules established by the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC require that a majority of the
members of a listed companys board of directors qualify as independent as affirmatively
determined by the board, meaning that each independent director has no direct or indirect material
relationship with a company other than as a director and/or a stockholder. Our Board of Directors
consults with legal counsel to ensure that our Boards determination with respect to the definition
of independent is consistent with current Nasdaq listing rules.
Our Board of Directors reviewed all relevant transactions or relationships between each director,
or any of his family members, and our company and has affirmatively determined that each of our
directors, other than Rick Filippelli (our Chief Executive Officer) and Martin Delaney (who served
as Senior Vice President of the Company from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005) are independent
directors under the applicable guidelines noted above. Our Board of Directors has four committees:
the Audit Committee, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee, the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee and the Executive Committee. All of the
members of our Audit, Nominating and Corporate Governance and Management Resources and Compensation
Committees meet the standards for independence required under current Nasdaq Stock Market listing
rules, SEC rules, and applicable securities laws and regulations.

attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards. |
|
(2) |

Audit-related services consist of assurance and related services that are traditionally

|
(3) |

The Company changed auditors on July 11, 2007. Interim fees billed by our current auditors
through September 30, 2007 were $59,000 and $9,000 for audit and tax service fees, respectively. |
Our Audit Committee has determined that the services provided by our independent auditors and the
fees paid to them for such services has not compromised the independence of our independent
auditors.
65
Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee has responsibility
for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditor. In
recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve all
audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor. Prior to engagement
of the independent auditor for the next years audit, management will submit a detailed description
of the audit and permissible non-audit services expected to be rendered during that year for each
of four categories of services provided by the independent auditor to the Audit
Committee for
approval. The four categories of services provided by the independent auditor are as defined in the
footnotes to the fee table set forth above. In addition, management will also provide to the Audit
Committee for its approval a fee proposal for the services proposed to be rendered by the
independent auditor. Prior to the engagement of the independent auditor, the Audit Committee will
approve both the description of audit and permissible non-audit services proposed to be rendered by
the independent auditor and the budget for all such services. The fees are budgeted and the Audit
Committee requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the budget
periodically throughout the year by category of service.
During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent
auditor for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances,
the Audit Committee requires separate pre-approval before engaging the independent auditor. To
ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval
authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report
any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of TeamStaff, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TeamStaff, Inc. and Subsidiaries as
of September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive income (loss), shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended.
Our audits also included the consolidated financial statement schedule as listed in the index.
These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of TeamStaff, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of
September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the consolidated financial statement schedule
referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken
as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

F-7
TEAMSTAFF, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007
(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. Effective October 23, 2007, TeamStaffs corporate
headquarters is in Somerset, New Jersey. Previously, the Companys corporate headquarters was
located in Atlanta, Georgia. TeamStaff has offices located in Clearwater, Florida and Loganville,
Georgia.
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.
(TeamStaff Rx) and TeamStaff Government Solutions, Inc. (Teamstaff GS), two wholly-owned
subsidiaries of TeamStaff Inc. On February 12, 2008, the Company announced the name change of RS
Staffing Services, Inc., a Loganville Georgia-based provider of medical and office
administration/technical professionals acquired in June 2005, to TeamStaff Government Solutions,
Inc. The name change reflects the subsidiarys expanding service offerings in providing staffing
for government logistical support positions through its LogWorld GSA Schedule, as well as providing
medical and office administration/technical professionals through nationwide FSS contracts.
TeamStaffs 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. References in this filing to
TeamStaff, the Company, we, us and our refer to TeamStaff, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiaries.
TeamStaff provides specialized medical, nursing, logistics and administrative staffing services by
supplying allied healthcare and nursing professionals, logistics and administrative personnel
through two staffing subsidiaries. The Companys TeamStaff Rx subsidiary, a Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) certified healthcare staffing firm, operates
throughout the United States and specializes in providing travel allied medical employees and
nurses, (typically on a thirteen-week assignment basis), as well as permanent placement services.
Allied medical staff includes MRI technicians, mammographers, physical therapists, occupational
therapists, dosimetrists, ultrasound staff and physicists. TeamStaff Rx places temporary employees
for approximately 225 client facilities. The Companys TeamStaff GS subsidiary specializes in
providing medical, office administration, logistics, and technical professionals through Federal
Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts with both the United States General Services Administration
(GSA) and United States Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA). TeamStaff GS places temporary
employees at approximately 40 facilities.
TeamStaff was organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey on November 25, 1969 and
maintains its principal executive office at 1 Executive Drive, Suite 130, Somerset, New Jersey
08873 where its telephone number is (877) 523-9897.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TeamStaff, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
All references to common stock, options, share based arrangements, exercise price, fair values and
related data within this Form 10-K have been retroactively amended so as to incorporate the effect
of the one-to-four reverse stock split effective April 21, 2008.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Significant estimates include valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, expected
settlement amount of accounts receivable, measurement of prepaid workers compensation, valuation
allowances established against accounts receivable and deferred tax assets, measurement of payroll
tax contingencies, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. As disclosed in Note 10, the Company reduced liabilities established for certain prior
period payroll tax contingencies by $0.7 million in fiscal 2008 based on resolution of such matters
with the Internal Revenue Service.
F-8
Revenue Recognition
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.
Revenues related to retroactive billings in 2008 (see Note 10) from an agency of the Federal
government are recognized when: (1) the Company develops and calculates an amount for such prior
period services and has a contractual right to bill for such amounts under its arrangements and (2)
there are no remaining unfulfilled conditions for approval of such billings. The related direct
costs, principally comprised of salaries and benefits, are recognized to match the recognized
reimbursements from the Federal agency; upon approval, wages are processed for payment to the
employees.
During the year ended September 30, 2008, TeamStaff recognized revenues of $10.8 million and direct
costs of $10.2 million related to these non-recurring arrangements. At September 30, 2008, the
amount of the remaining accounts receivable with the DVA approximates $9.3 million and accrued
liabilities for salaries to employees and related benefits totaled $8.7 million. Accounts
receivable includes $7.6 million that was unbilled to the DVA at September 30, 2008.
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
TeamStaffs direct labor costs of the temporary employees, plus an estimate for overhead expenses
and a profit margin. Additionally, commissions from permanent placements are included in revenue
as placements are made. Commissions from permanent placements result from the successful placement
of a medical staffing employee to a customers workforce as a permanent employee. The Company also
reviews the status of such placements to assess the Companys future performance obligations under
such contracts.
Direct costs of services are reflected in TeamStaffs Consolidated Statements 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.
Concentrations of Credit Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject TeamStaff to concentrations of credit risk consist
principally of cash and accounts receivable. TeamStaff maintains substantially all its cash
balances in a limited number of financial institutions. The balances are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 (effective October 3, 2008 through December 31, 2009).
At times the deposits in banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.
TeamStaff monitors the financial health of these banking institutions. Historically, the Company
has not experienced any losses on deposits.
TeamStaffs customer base consists of approximately 265 client companies as of September 30, 2008.
All of the customers of TeamStaff Rx are engaged in the healthcare industry. Substantially all of
the business of TeamStaff GS is accomplished through FSS contracts with the GSA and DVA. Credit,
when given, is generally granted on an unsecured basis.
TeamStaff maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the
inability of its customers to pay. However, if the financial condition of TeamStaffs customers
were to deteriorate rapidly, resulting in nonpayment, TeamStaff could be required to provide for
additional allowances, which would decrease operating results in the period that such determination
was made.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, TeamStaff considers all liquid
investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
F-9
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are unsecured and carried at fair value, which is net of an allowance for
doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on a specific
identification methodology. Generally an account receivable is deemed uncollectible based upon the
aging of the receivable and/or specific identification. Interest is not typically charged on past
due accounts and specific identification takes into account the Companys assessment of the default
risk based upon recent events in the customers business, economic status and changes in credit
status. With respect to receivables owed by agencies of the U.S. Government, the Company believes
that the risk of loss on these accounts is minimal. (See Note 14).
Before accounts are deemed uncollectible, demand letters are sent and, if that does not result in
payment, the receivable is placed for collection with a collection agency. The Companys last
attempt at collection would be legal action, depending upon the customers financial situation. If
the Company is unsuccessful at collection after these steps, the receivable is written-off.
Fair Value
TeamStaff has financial instruments, principally accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes
payable and accrued expenses. TeamStaff estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments
at September 30, 2008 and 2007 does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of
these financial instruments recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Equipment and Improvements
Equipment and improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful asset lives (3 to 5 years) and the shorter of
the initial lease term or estimated useful life for leasehold improvements. During 2008, the
Company retired fixed assets with a carrying value of $20,000 and accumulated depreciation of
$12,000 that resulted in a loss of $8,000 (included in other income, net).
Advertising Costs
The Companys advertising expenses consist primarily of online advertising, health care
professional trade magazines and other various print media, promotional material and direct mail
marketing. The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Total advertising costs
were $0.6 million and $0.4 million for fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
Occupancy Lease Commitments
The Company has occupancy leases with various payment terms to include a fixed payment schedule
over the lease term, variable payment schedule over the lease term, or a lease that may have rent
escalations, an abatement or rent holiday periods. The Company records occupancy expense using
the straight-line method over the lease term, regardless of actual payment terms.
Long-Lived Assets
TeamStaff reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Management of TeamStaff
believes that no negative events or changes in circumstances have occurred through September 30,
2008 and 2007. If such events or changes in circumstances are present, a loss is recognized to the
extent that the carrying value of the asset is in excess of the sum of the undiscounted cash flows
expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.
During 2007, in connection with the Companys decision to exit the Nursing Innovation per diem
operations, an unrealized loss of $1.6 million was recognized to reduce the carrying value of
goodwill to its net realizable value, which approximated the amount realized in 2008.
Acquired Intangible Assets
Acquired intangible assets consist of trade name of $4.6 million at September 30, 2008 and 2007.
TeamStaff determined that no impairment of its trade name existed as of September 30, 2008 and
2007. TeamStaff will continue to annually test and review its remaining indefinite life intangible
assets for possible impairment or loss of value.
F-10
Goodwill
Goodwill is assigned to specific reporting units and, in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, is reviewed for possible impairment at least annually or
more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting
units carrying amount may be greater than its fair value. All goodwill is attributable to
continuing staffing services reporting units. TeamStaff determined that no impairment of its
remaining goodwill existed as of September 30, 2008 and 2007. TeamStaff will continue to annually
review its remaining goodwill for possible impairment or loss of value.
Goodwill of $1.5 million was reclassified in 2007 to the discontinued operation (See Note 4) and
was unchanged in 2008.
Workers Compensation
For the remaining open years through November 17, 2003, the date of sale of its discontinued PEO
business, TeamStaff applies loss-development factors to workers compensation incurred losses in
order to estimate fully developed losses as well as other formula driven methodologies supplied by
its current third party administrator (See Note 10).
Income Taxes
TeamStaff accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 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 consolidated 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 September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded a 100% valuation allowance
against its net deferred tax assets (See Note 5).
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years amounts to conform to the current year
presentation and the effects of the reverse stock split. As discussed in Note 4, the Nursing
Innovations per diem business unit was reclassified in 2007 to discontinued operations and assets
and liabilities held for sale.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company follows the guidance of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS
123(R)). Compensation costs for the portion of awards (for which the requisite service has not
been rendered) that are outstanding are recognized as the requisite service is rendered. The
compensation cost for that portion of awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those
awards as calculated for recognition purposes under FAS 123(R). Stock option compensation expense
in 2007 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) in the year ended September 30, 2007, results of operations include share-based compensation
expense for options totaling approximately $7,000. There was no share-based compensation expense
for options for the year ended September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, there was no
remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock option awards to be
recognized.
From time to time, the Company grants restricted stock awards to non-employee directors and
employees under existing plans. The Company recognizes non cash compensation expense over the
various vesting periods. Certain awards vest upon satisfaction of certain performance criteria.
In accordance with FAS 123(R) the Company will not recognize expense on the performance based
shares until it is probable that these conditions will be achieved. Such charges could be material
in future periods.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing income (loss) available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and restricted stock
grants that vested or are likely to vest during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is
calculated by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average
number of basic common shares outstanding, adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities.
Diluted shares outstanding for 2008 include the effects of 9,000
shares of common stock equivalents
attributable to unvested time-based awards.
There were no differences between basic shares outstanding and fully diluted shares outstanding in
2007 as the effect of 834,500 common stock equivalents were anti dilutive.
F-11
Accumulated Comprehensive Income (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
loss on the balance sheet and is reflected in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as
Minimum pension liability adjustment, net of tax. The Company used a discount rate of 3.0% to
calculate the projected benefit obligation and the periodic benefit cost calculation for the
respective years presented. The Company recorded a reduction in the net liability from such
adjustment, net of tax of $28,000 and $55,000 for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The accumulated comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets reflects the
cumulative balance due to the minimum pension liability adjustment.
(3) RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entitys financial statements and prescribes a
recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement of the
tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold has been met. This Interpretation also
provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition. TeamStaff conducts business solely in the U.S. and, as a
result, files income taxes returns for U.S., New Jersey and various other states and jurisdictions.
In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities. At
present, there are no ongoing income tax audits or unresolved disputes with the various tax
authorities that the Company currently files or has filed with. Given the Companys substantial
net operating loss carryforwards, which are subject to a full valuation allowance, as well as the
historical operating losses in prior periods, the adoption of FIN 48 on October 1, 2007 did not
have any effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of the adoption
date and for the year ended September 30, 2008.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged. Any amounts recognized upon adoption
as a cumulative effect adjustment will be recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings in
the year of adoption. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009
and does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements.
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
does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative
instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable users of the
financial statements to better understand the effects on an entitys financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company currently does
not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
(4) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
Sale of DSI Division
Effective May 31, 2006, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its DSI division to
CompuPay, Inc. 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 released the remaining
escrow on May 31, 2007. For the year ended September 30, 2007, the Company recognized a gain of
$293,000, comprised of a purchase price adjustment of $249,000 and tax benefit of $44,000.
F-12
Sale of Nursing Innovations Division
Effective January 27, 2008, TeamStaff, Inc. completed the sale of its per diem nurse staffing
business located in Memphis, Tennessee and operating under the name of Nursing Innovations, to
Temps, Inc. Under the terms of the definitive Asset
Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 29, 2008 (Asset Purchase Agreement), the Company received
a cash purchase price of $447,000 for the acquired business and related assets. Of the purchase
price, $90,000 was escrowed for a period of six months from the closing date. Payment to TeamStaff
was subject to the downward adjustment for the amount of pre-closing accounts receivables
uncollected by the purchaser during such six-month period. Temps, Inc. released approximately
$89,000 escrow to Teamstaff in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Net revenues for the Nursing Innovations per diem operations for fiscal years ended September 30,
2008 and 2007 were $0.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

(5) INCOME TAXES:
In the fourth quarter of the year ended September 30, 2006, after an assessment of all available
evidence (including historical and forecasted operating results), management concluded that
realization of the Companys net operating loss carryforwards (which includes those amounts
acquired in previous years business combinations, collectively NOLs), tax credits and other
deferred tax assets, could not be considered more likely than not. Accordingly, for the years ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company did not record a tax benefit for net operating losses.
Based on similar assessments, the Company increased the valuation allowance established on deferred
tax assets by approximately $0.6 million and $0.8 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively. The
primary reason for the NOL in 2008 relates to the realized tax loss (unrealized in 2007) on the
sale of the discontinued operations assets (see Note 4). The
increase in the valuation allowance of approximately
$0.6 million related to the net operating loss was offset by a
decrease of approximately $1.1 million, representing adjustments
to state NOLs and other fully reserved deferred tax assets. Based on an assessment performed as of
September 30, 2008, the Company has maintained a full valuation allowance against
remaining NOLs and other deferred tax assets; as the realization of such amounts, at that date,
could not be considered more likely than not. In prospective periods, there may be reductions to
the valuation allowance to the extent that the Company concludes that it is more likely that not
that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets can be utilized (subject to annual limitations and
prior to the expiration of such NOLs), to offset future periods taxable income.
In the year ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded tax expense of $60,000 related to
certain estimated states taxes due. The income tax benefit of $123,000 for 2007 is attributable
to an overaccrual of estimated state taxes at September 30, 2006 against amounts computed in the
preparation of various income tax returns.
At
September 30, 2008 the Company had net operating losses of
approximately $28.3 million, $14.4 million and $8.5 million for U.S, New Jersey and other states tax return purposes, respectively,
and unutilized tax credits approximate $1.1 million. As a result of previous business
combinations and changes in its ownership, there is a substantial amount of U.S. NOLs that are
subject to annual limitations on utilization. The U.S. NOLs begin to
expire in 2021 and continue
to expire through 2028.

(6) DEBT:
Prior Facility
In connection with the acquisition of TeamStaff GS, formerly known as RS Staffing Services,
TeamStaff secured financing with PNC Bank in the form of a $7.0 million revolving credit facility
(PNC Credit Facility). The PNC Credit Facility was provided by PNC Bank effective on June 8,
2005 to (i) provide for the acquisition of RS Staffing Services; (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 PNC Credit
Facility to $8.0 million. Revolving credit advances under the PNC Credit Facility accrued interest
at either a PNC Bank internal rate that approximated the Prime Rate plus 25 basis points or LIBOR
plus 275 basis points, whichever was higher. The PNC Credit Facility had a three-year life and
contained term and line of credit borrowing options. The PNC Credit Facility was subject to certain
restrictive covenants including a fixed charge coverage ratio if the Company failed to maintain
invested cash and line availability minimum requirements. The PNC Credit Facility was 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.
New Facility
On March 28, 2008, TeamStaff and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TeamStaff Rx and TeamStaff GS
entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March 28, 2008 (the
Loan Agreement) with Business Alliance Capital Company (BACC), a division of Sovereign Bank
(the Lender). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Lender (i) acquired by assignment from PNC
all right, title and interest of PNC under the PNC Credit Facility, the PNC note and related loan
documentation, and (ii) restructured the PNC Credit Facility into a $3,000,000 three (3) year
revolving credit facility. Effective April 1, 2008, BACC changed its name to Sovereign Business
Capital. The outstanding principal and interest balance under the PNC Credit Facility, related
fees and certain expenses related to the execution and closing of the Loan Agreement were paid in
full with $0.6 million in proceeds drawn from the Loan Agreement on April 2, 2008. Fees
associated with this facility approximate $150,000, which will be amortized over the life of the
Loan Agreement.
Under the Loan Agreement, the Lender agreed to provide a revolving credit facility to the Company
in an aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000, subject to the further terms and conditions of the
Loan Agreement. The loan is secured by a first priority lien on all of the Companys assets.
The Companys ability to request loan advances under the Loan Agreement is subject to computation
of the Companys advance limit and compliance with the covenants and conditions of the loan. The
loan is for a term of 36 months and matures on March 31, 2011. Interest on advances accrues on
the daily unpaid balance of the loan advances at a per annum rate of one-quarter (.25%)
percentage points above the Prime Rate in effect from time to time, but not less than five and
one-half percent (5.5%) per annum. The Loan Agreement requires compliance with certain customary
covenants including a debt service coverage ratio and restrictions on the Companys ability to,
among other things, dispose of certain assets, engage in certain transactions, incur indebtedness
and pay dividends. As of September 30, 2008, TeamStaff was in compliance with all loan covenants.
The Loan Agreement also provides for customary events of default following which, the Lender
may, at its option, accelerate the amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement. As of September
30, 2008, there was no debt outstanding under the Loan Agreement and defined unused availability
totaled $1.8 million, net of
required collateral reserves per the Loan Agreement for certain payroll and tax liabilities. The
interest rate on the facility at September 30, 2008 was 5.5%.

(9) ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES:
Included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities at September 30, 2008 was $0.6 million
in accrued bonus and incentives and $0.5 million in accrued benefits. Included in accrued
expenses and other current liabilities at September 30, 2007 was $0.4 million in accrued bonus and
incentives and $0.4 million in accrued benefits.
(10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Potential Contractual Billing Adjustments
At September 30, 2008, TeamStaff GS is seeking approval from the Federal government for gross
profit on retroactive billing rate increases associated with certain government contracts at which
it has employees staffed on contract assignments. These adjustments are due to changes in the
contracted wage determination rates for these contract employees. A wage determination is the
listing of wage rates and fringe benefit rates for each classification of laborers whom the
Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has determined
to be prevailing in a given locality. Contractors performing services for the Federal government
under certain contracts are required to pay service employees in various classes no less than the
wage rates and fringe benefits found prevailing in these localities. An audit by the DOL at one of
the facilities revealed that notification, as required by contract, was not provided to TeamStaff
GS in order to effectuate the wage increases in a timely manner. Wages for contract employees
currently on assignment have been adjusted prospectively to the prevailing rate and hourly billing
rates to the DVA have been increased accordingly. During the year ended September 30, 2008,
TeamStaff recognized nonrecurring revenues of $10.8 million and direct costs of $10.1 million. At
September 30, 2008, the amount of the remaining accounts receivable with the DVA approximate $9.3
million. TeamStaff has recognized revenue based on amounts that are contractually due under its
arrangements with the Federal agencies and is currently in the process of negotiating a final
amount related to gross profit on these adjustments. As such, there may be additional revenues
recognized in future periods once the approval for such additional amounts are obtained. The range
of revenue (and gross profit) are estimated to be between $0.4 million and $0.7 million. At
present, the Company expects to collect such amounts in
the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2009. Because these amounts are subject to government review,
no assurances can be given that we will receive any additional billings from our government
contracts or that if additional amounts are received, that the amount will be within the range
specified above.

Rent expense, net of sublease income, under all operating leases in fiscal year ended September 30,
2008, was $542,000, of which $507,000 is attributed to continuing operations and $35,000 is
attributed to discontinued operations. Rent expense, net of sublease income, under all operating
leases in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, was $0.6 million, of which $0.5 million was
attributed to continuing operations and $0.1 million was attributed to discontinued operations. At
September 30, 2008 there is one remaining occupancy sublease.
Prepaid Workers Compensation
TeamStaffs current workers compensation insurance program is provided by Zurich American
Insurance Company (Zurich). This program covers TeamStaffs 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 Companys 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. From time-to-time, trust assets have been refunded to the
Company based on Zurichs overall assessment of claims experience and historical and projected
settlements. In March 2008, Zurich reduced the collateral requirements on outstanding workers
compensation claims and released $350,000 in trust account funds back to the Company. In fiscal
years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, Zurich reduced the collateral requirements on outstanding
workers compensation claims and released $2.25 million and $1.19 million, respectively, in trust
account funds back to the Company. The final amount of trust funds that could be refunded to the
Company is subject to a number of uncertainties (e.g. claim settlements and experience, health care
costs and the extended statutory filing periods for such claims); however, based on a third partys
study of claims experience, TeamStaff estimates that at September 30, 2008, the remaining prepaid
asset of $0.4 million is expected to be received within the next twelve months. This is reflected
on TeamStaffs balance sheet as of September 30, 2008 as a current asset, in addition to
approximately $0.2 million related to current policy deposits.
As of September 30, 2008 and 2007 the adequacy of the workers compensation reserves (which are
offset against the trust fund balances in prepaid assets) was determined, in managements 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, 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 TeamStaffs
prepayments and adjust the related reserves as deemed appropriate.
F-17
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 which were
sold in fiscal 2003. 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 assets related to the former PEO operations,
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 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. In settling various years for specific subsidiaries with the IRS, the Company
has received refunds for those specific periods; however, as the process of settling and concluding
on other periods and subsidiaries is not yet completed and the potential exists for related
penalties and interest, such amounts ($2.1 million at September 30, 2008) have been recorded in
accounts payable.
Based on an assessment of periods settled and the status of open periods under review by the IRS,
management reduced its estimated liability by $0.7 million in 2008. Such amount, accounted for as
a change in estimate, is included as a component of other income (expense) in the accompanying 2008
statement of operations. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these remaining
payroll tax matters will not have a significant adverse effect on its financial position or future
results of operations.
Legal Proceedings
RS Staffing Services, Inc.
On April 17, 2007, a Federal Grand Jury subpoena was issued by the Northern District of Illinois to
the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, TeamStaff GS, formerly known as RS Staffing Services,
requesting production of certain documents dating back to 1997, prior to the time the Company
acquired RS Staffing Services. The subpoena stated that it was issued in connection with an
investigation of possible violations of Federal criminal laws and related crimes concerning
procurement at the DVA. According to the cover letter accompanying the subpoena, the U.S.
Department of Justice, Antitrust Division (DOJ), along with the DVA, Office of the Inspector
General, are responsible for the current criminal investigation. RS Staffing Services provides
temporary staffing at certain DVA hospitals that may be part of the investigation. The return date
for documents called for by the subpoena was May 17, 2007. In connection with the same
investigation, agents with the DVA, Office of Inspector General, executed a search warrant at the
Monroe, Georgia offices of RS Staffing Services.
The government has advised TeamStaff that the DOJ has no intent to charge TeamStaff or any of its
subsidiaries or employees in connection with the Federal investigation of contract practices at
various government owned/contractor operated facilities. TeamStaff remains committed to cooperate
with the DOJs continued investigation of other parties.
The Company originally acquired RS Staffing Services in June 2005. As part of the purchase price
of the acquisition, the Company issued to the former owners of RS Staffing Services a $3.0 million
promissory note, of which $1.5 million was paid in June 2006. On May 31, 2007, the Company sent a
notice of indemnification claim to the former owners for costs that have been incurred in
connection with the investigation. Effective June 1, 2007, the Company and former owners of RS
Staffing Services reached an agreement to extend the due date from June 8, 2007 to December 31,
2008 with respect to the remaining $1.5 million note payable and accrued interest payable on June
8, 2007. As of September 30, 2008, the amount has not been settled. The Company recognized
expenses related to legal representation and costs incurred in connection with the investigation in
the amount of $0.2 million and $1.5 million during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and
2007, respectively, as a component of other income (expense). Cumulative costs related to this
matter approximate $1.7 million. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement with RS Staffing Services,
the Company has notified the former owners of RS Staffing Services that it is the Companys
intention to exercise its right to setoff the payment of such expenses against the remaining
principal and accrued interest due to the former owners of RS Staffing Services.
The Company will pursue the recovery as a right of offset in future periods. Management has a good
faith belief that the Company will recover such amounts; however, generally accepted accounting
principles preclude the Company from recording an offset to the note payable to the former owners
of RS Staffing Services until the final amount of the claim is settled and determinable. At
present, no assurances can be given that the former owners of RS Staffing Services would not pursue
action against us or that the Company will be successful in the offset of such amounts against the
outstanding debt. Accordingly, the Company has expensed costs incurred related to the
investigation through September 30, 2008.

Other Matters
On October 2, 2008, the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued a
subpoena to TeamStaff GS regarding the alleged wrongful termination of certain employees who were
employed at a federal facility staffed by TeamStaff GS temporary contract employees. The wrongful
termination is alleged to have occurred when the former employees were terminated because they
could not satisfy English proficiency requirements imposed by the Federal
government. TeamStaff GS has produced all documents that it believed were required by the subpoena
and has submitted its position statement to the EEOC. It is unclear, at present, if or when the
EEOC will respond.
As a commercial enterprise and employer, we are subject to various claims and legal actions in the
ordinary course of business. These matters can include professional liability, employment-relations
issues, workers compensation, tax, payroll and employee-related matters and inquiries and
investigations by governmental agencies regarding our employment practices. We are not aware of
any pending or threatened litigation that we believe is reasonably likely to have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
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 TeamStaffs results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Employment Agreements
From time-to-time, we enter into employment agreements with certain key executives which provide
for fixed compensation, criterion for earning bonuses and other incentives and, in certain
instances, issuance of share based equity grants. These agreements generally continue until
terminated by the employee or the Board of Directors or, upon the occurrence of defined certain
events or circumstances (including a defined change in control), and provide for salary continuance
for specified periods of generally no more than a year.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, the Company terminated certain executives,
management and staff personnel, and as a result, incurred severance related expenses of
approximately $0.2 million (included in selling, general and administrative expense); at September
30, 2008 the remaining liability from these arrangements was approximately $74,000, which is
included in accrued expenses. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, the Company
terminated certain officers and executives, and as a result, incurred severance related expenses of
approximately $0.7 million (included in selling, general and administrative expense); at September
30, 2007 the remaining liability from these arrangements was approximately $11,000, which is
included in accrued expenses.
See Note 15 for a discussion of employment agreements entered into subsequent to September 30,
2008.
Government Assignment of Contracts
Availability of funds under the Sovereign line of credit is directly related to the successful
assignment of certain accounts receivable. Certain government accounts of TeamStaff GS are required
to execute Acknowledgements of Assignment. There can be no assurance that every TeamStaff GS
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 existing line of credit.
(11) SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY:
Stock Warrants
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, TeamStaff granted no warrants, 149,500 warrants
expired unexercised and no warrants were exercised. During the fiscal year ended September 30,
2007, TeamStaff granted no warrants, no warrants expired unexercised and no warrants were
exercised. At September 30, 2008, there are no warrants outstanding.
F-19
Stock Option Plans
2000 Employee Stock Option Plan
During 2000, the Board of Directors and shareholders approved the adoption of the 2000 Employees
Stock Option Plan (the 2000 Plan) to provide for the grant of options to purchase up to 1,714,286
shares of TeamStaffs common stock to all employees, including senior management. The 2000 Plan
replaces the 1990 Employee Plan and Senior Management Plans, both of which expired. Under the
terms of the 2000 Plan, options granted thereunder may be designated as options which qualify for
incentive stock option treatment (ISOs) under Section 422A of the Code, or options which do not
so qualify (Non-ISOs). As of September 30, 2008 and 2007, there were 17,000 and 37,250 options,
respectively, outstanding under the 2000 Plan.
The 2000 Plan is administered by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors (The Compensation Committee). The Compensation Committee has the discretion to
determine the eligible employees to whom, and the times and the price at which, options will be
granted; whether such options shall be ISOs or Non-ISOs, subject to applicable law; the periods
during which each option will be exercisable; and the number of shares subject to each option. The
Compensation Committee has full authority to interpret the 2000 Plan and to establish and amend
rules and regulations relating thereto.
Under the 2000 Plan, the exercise price of an option designated as an ISO shall not be less than
the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. However, in the event
an option designated as an ISO is granted to a ten percent (10%) shareholder, as defined, such
exercise price shall be at least 110% of such fair market value. Exercise prices of Non-ISO options
may be less than such fair market value.
The aggregate fair market value of shares subject to options granted to a participant, which are
designated as ISOs and which become exercisable in any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.
The Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant bonuses or authorize loans to or
guarantee loans obtained by an optionee to enable such optionee to pay the exercise price or any
taxes that may arise in connection with the exercise or cancellation of an option. The
Compensation Committee can also permit the payment of the exercise price in the common stock of the
Company held by the optionee for at least six months prior to exercise.
Non-Executive Director Plan
In fiscal year 2000, the Board of Directors and stockholders approved the adoption of the 2000
Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan (the 2000 Director Plan) to provide for the grant of
options to non-employee directors of TeamStaff. Under the terms of the 2000 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. However, the granting of options to non-employee directors was
suspended for fiscal 2007 and 2008. The 2000 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. For fiscal years 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 there were no
purchases of discounted restricted stock. The 2000 Director Plan replaced the previous Director
Plan that expired in April 2000. As of September 30, 2008 and 2007, there were 15,625 and 21,875
options, respectively, held by directors outstanding.
Under the 2000 Director Plan, the exercise price for options granted shall be 100% of the fair
market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Until otherwise provided, the exercise
price of options granted under the 2000 Director Plan must be paid at the time of exercise, either
in cash, by delivery of shares of common stock of TeamStaff or by a combination of each. The term
of each option commences on the date it is granted and unless terminated sooner as provided in the
2000 Director Plan, expires five (5) years from the date of grant. The Compensation Committee has
no discretion to determine which non-executive director will receive options or the number of
shares subject to the option, the term of the option or the exercisability of the option. However,
the Compensation Committee will make all determinations of the interpretation of the 2000 Director
Plan. Options granted under the 2000 Director Plan are not qualified for incentive stock option
treatment.
Effective January 19, 2007, the Board of Directors approved to change the compensation terms for
non-executive Board members. At that time, the Board agreed to forego all cash compensation in lieu
of restricted stock grants. Each non-employee Board member received an initial grant under the
Companys 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 received a grant of 2,500 shares of restricted stock
following the 2007 annual meeting of shareholders. On October 3, 2007, 120,000 shares of
restricted stock were issued. Fifty percent (50%) of all such shares of restricted stock shall
vest when the volume-weighted average share price of the Companys 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. In accordance with FAS 123(R) the Company will not
recognize expense on 120,000 shares of this award until it is probable that these performance and
market conditions will be achieved. Such charges could be material in future periods. Future
annual grants shall be determined by the Compensation Committee. Non-employee Board members also
receive reimbursement of their Board travel, cell phone and similar expenses.
F-20
Effective as of October 1, 2007, the Board of Directors determined to reinstitute a cash
compensation policy for non-employee directors. Accordingly, our non-executive directors are
compensated as follows:
|
|
|
The annual director fee for our non-executive directors is $15,000; |
|
|
|
the Chairman of Board and the Audit Committee Chairman shall receive an additional
$3,500 per year; |
|
|
|
the Vice Chairman of the Board, Chairman of the Management Resources and Compensation
Committee and Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall each
receive an additional $2,500 per year; |
|
|
|
each non-executive director was awarded an annual grant of 3,750 shares of restricted
common stock pursuant to the Company 2006 Long Term Incentive Policy following the
Companys annual meeting of shareholders held in 2008, provided that such award shall vest
as follows: (A) 50% of the Award shall vest when the volume-weighted average share price
over any 20 consecutive trading days exceeds the price per share of common stock on the
date of grant by 20%; and (B) 50% of the Award shall vest one year from the vesting
specified in (A) above; |
|
|
|
each non-executive director was awarded an additional annual grant of 1,250 shares of
restricted stock for each committee membership held by a non-executive director following
the Companys annual meeting to be held in 2008, with such under the Companys 2006 Long
Term Incentive Plan, with such additional award to be fully vested on the date of grant; |
|
|
|
Reasonable and customary expenses incurred in attending the board and committee
meetings are reimbursable. |
The fair value of previously issued options at the date of grant historically was estimated using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company took into consideration guidance under SFAS
123R and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 when reviewing and updating assumptions. The
expected volatility was based upon historical volatility of our stock and other contributing
factors. The expected term was based upon observation of actual time elapsed between date of grant
and exercise of options for all employees. Previously such assumptions were determined based on
historical data.
The following tables summarize the activity in TeamStaffs various stock option plans for the years
ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:

As of September 30, 2008 and 2007, 32,625 and 59,125 options, respectively, had vested and were
exercisable.
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (i.e.,
the difference between the Companys closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal year
and the exercise price, times the number of shares) that would have been received by the option
holders had all option holders exercised their in the money options
on those dates. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Companys stock.
F-21
2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (2006 Plan)
The Board of Directors adopted the 2006 Plan on January 17, 2006. The shareholders approved the
2006 Plan at the annual meeting on April 27, 2006. The Company reserved an aggregate of 5,000,000
shares of common stock for issuance under the 2006 Plan. The maximum number of shares of common
stock that may be delivered to participants under the 2006 Plan equals the sum of: (a) 5,000,000
shares of common stock; (b) any shares subject to awards granted under the 2000 Plan and the 2000
Director Plan (collectively, the 2000 Plans), which are forfeited, expired, canceled or settled
in cash without delivery of such shares to the participant or otherwise is terminated without a
share issuance; (c) any shares tendered by participants or withheld in payment of the exercise
price of options or to satisfy withholding taxes under the 2000 Plans; and (d) any shares
repurchased with the proceeds of options exercised under the 2000 Plans.
Administration. The 2006 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The 2006 Plan
authorizes the Compensation Committee to select those participants to whom awards may be granted,
to determine whether and to what extent awards are granted, to determine the number of shares of
common stock or other considerations to be covered by each award, to determine the terms and
conditions of awards, to amend the terms of outstanding awards, and to take any other action
consistent with the terms of the 2006 Plan as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate.
Terms and Conditions of Awards. The Compensation Committee is authorized to make any type of award
to a participant that is consistent with the provisions of the Plan. Awards may consist of options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, cash
awards or any combination of these types of awards.
Subject to the terms of the 2006 Plan, the Compensation Committee determines the provisions, terms
and conditions of each award. The Compensation Committee may grant awards subject to vesting
schedules or restrictions and contingencies in the companys favor. However, the awards may be
subject to acceleration such that they become fully vested, exercisable and released from any
restrictions or contingencies upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the 2006
Plan). The Compensation Committee may provide that stock-based awards earn dividends or dividend
equivalents, which may be paid in cash or shares or may be credited to an account designated in the
name of the participants. Participants may also be required or permitted to defer the issuance of
shares or cash settlements under awards including under other deferred compensation arrangements of
the company. Each option granted under the 2006 Plan will be designated as either an incentive
stock option or a non-statutory stock option. No option or stock appreciation right may be granted
with a term of more than 10 years from the date of grant.
Performance shares or cash awards will depend on achievement of performance goals based on one or
more performance measures determined by the Compensation Committee over a performance period as
prescribed by the Compensation Committee of not less than one year and not more than five years.
Performance goals may be established on a corporate-wide basis or as to one or more business units,
divisions or subsidiaries, and may be in either absolute terms or relative to the performance of
one or more comparable companies on an index covering multiple companies. Performance measures
means criteria established by the Compensation Committee from time to time prior to granting the
performance shares or cash awards.
Exercise Price. The 2006 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to grant options and stock
appreciation rights at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the
shares on the date of grant. The Compensation Committee has the right to provide post-grant
reduction in exercise price to reflect any floating index as specified in an award agreement. The
exercise price is generally payable in cash, check, surrender of pre-owned shares of common stock,
broker-dealer exercise and sale, or by such other means determined by the Compensation Committee.
Option Repricing Prohibited. The exercise price for any outstanding option or stock appreciation
right may not be decreased after the date of grant, nor may any outstanding option or stock
appreciation right be surrendered as consideration for the grant of a new option or stock
appreciation right with a lower exercise price.

During the year ended September 30, 2008, TeamStaff granted awards of restricted stock under its
2006 Plan. An aggregate of 147,500 restricted shares were awarded to employees and non-employee

In addition, $44,000 related to prior periods grants was

the Company will not recognize expense on 76,250 shares of these awards until it is probable that
these performance conditions will be achieved. Such charges could be material in future periods.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, 28,334 unvested shares were cancelled. As of
September 30, 2008, approximately $23,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested
non-performance based restricted stock awards is expected to be recognized during fiscal 2009.
During the year ended September 30, 2007, TeamStaff granted awards of restricted stock under its
2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan). An aggregate of 57,500 restricted shares were
awarded at the closing price on the award dates and 17,500 shares were subsequently cancelled. The
shares will vest according to the following schedule: (a) 15,000 shares vested immediately on
February 14, 2007, resulting in a charge of $64,000; (b) 12,500 shares will vest on September 30,
2008 subject to certain performance based vesting requirements, and (c) 12,500 shares will vest on
September 30, 2009 subject to certain performance based vesting
requirements. In addition, $78,000 related to prior periods grants was

(13) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:
As of September 30, 2008, TeamStaff and its subsidiaries currently maintain a defined contribution
and a supplemental pension plan.
As of January 1, 2004, TeamStaff adopted the TeamStaff 401(k) Plan (the 401(k) Plan) for the
benefit of its eligible internal and temporary staffing employees. Any TeamStaff corporate
employee and any TeamStaff Rx temporary staffing employee, is eligible for participation in the
401(k) Plan upon completing one year of service with TeamStaff. TeamStaff may provide a
discretionary matching contribution of 25% of each of the first 4% of a participants elective
contributions under the 401 (k) Plan. TeamStaff recorded related expense of $18,000 and $27,000
respectively, in fiscal 2008 and 2007. A participant is always fully vested in his or her elective
contributions and vest in Company matching contributions over a four year period.
Effective October 1, 2000, TeamStaff adopted a non-qualified, supplemental retirement plan covering
certain corporate officers of TeamStaff (the SERP). Under the terms of the SERP, a participant
received a benefit sufficient to provide lump sum annual payments equal to approximately one-third
of the participants base salary on the date the participant became a
participant. Payment of benefits was to commence when the participant reached 65 years of age.
The benefit under the SERP was subject to a seven-year vesting schedule (0%,0%,20%,40%, 60%, 80%,
100%), based on the participants original date of employment with TeamStaff and was contingent on
the participants reaching age 55; provided, however, a participants benefit became fully vested
upon a change of control, as defined in the SERP, if within two years of the change of control
there was a material change in the participants job title or responsibilities or if the
participants employment was terminated by TeamStaff for any reason other than conviction for theft
or embezzlement from TeamStaff. Additionally, if a participant retired by means of total
disability (as defined in the SERP), the participants benefit became fully vested and benefit
payments would have commenced as of the disability retirement date. The SERP did not provide a
death benefit. At inception, TeamStaffs former Chief Executive Officer and its former Chief
Financial Officer were the only SERP participants.
SERP participants were also provided with a split dollar life insurance policy (Policy), insuring
the life of the participant until the participant reached age 65. Although the participant was the
owner of the Policy, TeamStaff paid all Policy premiums. Each participant collaterally assigned the
Policy to TeamStaff to secure repayment of the premiums through either its cash surrender value or
the Policy proceeds. The participants right to the Policy vested in accordance with the same
schedule as the SERP and with similar change of control provisions. Upon the participants
65th birthday (and in certain other circumstances provided by the Policy agreement),
TeamStaff was to release the collateral assignment of the Policy provided the participant released
TeamStaff from all obligations the Company may have had with respect to the participant (including
those under the SERP).
The following table illustrates TeamStaffs changes in benefit costs and pension benefit
obligations for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 under the SERP:

For unfunded plans, contributions to the SERP are the benefit payments made to
participants. TeamStaff made benefit payments of $280,000 during each of fiscal years 2008 and 2007. Benefit payments of
$70,000 are expected to be paid in fiscal 2009.
During fiscal year 2004, TeamStaff and plan participants agreed on optional payment forms
effectively accelerating benefit payments. Beginning in fiscal year 2004 and ending in fiscal
year 2009, the SERP settles liabilities by paying benefit obligations to participants. Each
quarter, a settlement charge will be recognized to account for settling of liabilities. A
settlement charge of $38,000 and $57,000 was recognized during fiscal 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
The FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans which was adopted in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 with no effect
on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
(14) ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY:

(15) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
Subsequent to the year ended September 30, 2008, we entered into employment agreements with Kevin
Wilson, the President of our TeamStaff GS subsidiary and Dale West, the President of our TeamStaff
Rx division. The following are summaries of these employment agreements. The following descriptions
of these employment agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of
such agreements.
Kevin Wilson
On October 3, 2008, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Kevin Wilson, the President of
TeamStaff GS. The employment agreement is for an initial term expiring September 30, 2010. Under
the employment agreement, Mr. Wilson will receive a base salary of $200,000. The term of the
agreement is effective as of October 1, 2008. Mr. Wilson may receive a bonus in the sole discretion
of the Management Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and will have an
opportunity to earn a cash bonus of up to 70% of his base salary for each fiscal year of
employment. The bonus will be based on performance targets and other key objectives established by
the Chief Executive Officer. Thirty percent of the bonus shall be based on achieving revenue
targets, sixty percent shall be based on achieving EBITDA targets, and ten percent shall be based
on achieving corporate goals established by the Chief Executive Officer. Additional terms of his
agreement are as follows:
Grant of 30,000 shares of restricted common stock. The vesting schedule applicable to the
restricted stock is as follows: one-third of the restricted shares vest on the date of the
agreement; one-third vest on September 30, 2009, upon satisfaction of performance targets and other
key objectives established by the Chief Executive Officer for fiscal 2009; and one-third vest on
September 30, 2010, upon the satisfaction of the performance targets determined for fiscal 2010.
However, in the event of a change in control (as defined in the employment agreement), the
conditions to the vesting of the restricted stock awards shall be deemed void and all such shares
shall be immediately and fully vested.
In the event of the termination of employment by us without cause or by Mr. Wilson for
good reason, as those terms are defined in the employment agreement, or in the event his
employment is terminated due to his disability, he would be entitled to: (a) a severance payment of
6 months of base salary; (b) continued participation in our health and welfare plans for a period
not to exceed 6 months from the termination date; and (c) all compensation accrued but not paid as
of the termination date. In addition, in the event of termination for disability, he would also
receive a pro-rata bonus, as described below.
In the event of the termination of his employment due to his death, Mr. Wilsons estate
would be entitled to receive: (a) all compensation accrued but not paid as of the termination date;
(b) continued participation in our health and welfare plans for a period not to exceed 6 months
from the termination date; and (c) payment of a Pro Rata Bonus, which is defined as an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) $75,000, and (ii) the Targeted Bonus multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of days from the commencement of the fiscal year to the
termination date, and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the fiscal year in
which his employment was terminated. If his employment is terminated by us for cause or by him
without good reason, he is not entitled to any additional compensation or benefits other than his
accrued and unpaid compensation.
In the event that within 90 days of a Change in Control as defined in the employment
agreement, (a) Mr. Wilson is terminated, or (b) his status, title, position or responsibilities are
materially reduced and he terminates his employment, we shall pay and/or provide to him the
following compensation and benefits: (A) (i) the accrued compensation; (ii) the continuation
benefits; and (iii) as severance, base salary for a period of 6 months, payable in equal
installments on each of the Companys regular pay dates for executives during the six months
commencing on the first regular executive pay date following the termination date; and (B) The
conditions to the vesting of any outstanding incentive awards (including restricted stock, stock
options and granted performance shares or units) granted to Mr. Wilson shall be deemed void and all
such awards shall be immediately and fully vested.
In addition, in the event the Company serves a Notice of Retention and Mr. Wilson
diligently performs his duties during the Retention Period (as those terms are defined in the
employment agreement), the Company shall pay him, in one lump sum on the first day of the month
immediately following the month in which the Retention Period ends, an amount equal to 50% of his
then current base salary. In the event the Company fails to serve a Notice of Retention, the
Company shall pay him in one lump sum on the first day of the month immediately following the
change of control, an amount equal to 50% of his then current base salary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the payments due in the event of a change in control
would constitute an excess parachute payment as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), the aggregate of such credits or payments under the
employment agreement and other agreements shall be reduced to the largest amount as will result in
no portion of such aggregate payments being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of
the Code.
Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Wilson is subject to customary confidentiality,
non-solicitation of employees and non-competition obligations that survive the termination of such
agreements.

Dale West
On December 3, 2008, we entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Dale West, the President of
our TeamStaff Rx division. The employment agreement is for an initial term expiring September 30,
2010. Under the employment agreement, Ms. West will receive a base salary of $200,000. The term of

discretion of the Management Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and
will have an opportunity to earn a cash bonus (Targeted Bonus) of up to 70% of her base salary

objectives established by the Chief Executive Officer. Thirty percent (30%) of the bonus shall be
based on achieving revenue targets, sixty percent (60%) shall be based on achieving EBITDA targets,
and ten percent (10%) shall be based on achieving corporate goals established by the Chief
Executive Officer. Additional terms of her agreement are as follows:
Grant of 30,000 shares of restricted common stock. The vesting schedule applicable to the
restricted stock is as follows: one-half vest on September 30, 2009, upon satisfaction of
performance targets and other key objectives established by the Chief Executive Officer for 2009;
and one-half vest on September 30, 2010, upon the satisfaction of the performance targets
determined for 2010. However, in the event of a change in control (as defined in the employment
agreement), the conditions to the vesting of the restricted stock awards shall be deemed void and
all such shares shall be immediately and fully vested.
Ms. West will be eligible to receive a quarterly stock bonus equal to $12,500 of the
Companys common stock at the end of each calendar quarter of employment for satisfaction of
performance criteria and other key objectives established by the Chief Executive Officer, provided
that the first two quarterly bonuses shall be deemed earned if she is continuously employed by the
Company during such quarters and shall not be conditioned on the achievement of any other
performance criteria. Such shares of common stock will be valued on the last trading day of each
such quarter and shall be deemed vested and earned on the first business day following the close of
the quarter.
In the event of the termination of employment by us without cause or by Ms. West for
good reason, as those terms are defined in the employment agreement, or in the event her
employment is terminated due to her disability, she would be entitled to: (a) a severance payment

the lesser of (i) $75,000, and (ii) the Targeted Bonus multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the number of days from the commencement of the fiscal year to the termination date,
and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the fiscal year in which she was
terminated. If her employment is terminated by us for cause or by her without good reason, she
is not entitled to any additional compensation or benefits other than her accrued and unpaid
compensation.
In the event that within 90 days of a Change in Control as defined in the employment
agreement, (a) Ms. Wests employment is terminated, or (b) her status, title, position or
responsibilities are materially reduced and she terminates her employment, the Company shall pay
and/or provide to her, the following compensation and benefits: (A) (i) the accrued compensation;

In addition, in the event the Company serves a Notice of Retention and Ms. West
diligently performs her duties during the Retention Period (as those terms are defined in the
employment agreement), the Company shall pay her, in one lump sum on the first day of the month
immediately following the month in which the Retention Period ends, an amount equal to 50% of her
then current base salary. In the event the Company fails to serve a Notice of Retention, the
Company shall pay her in one lump sum on the first day of the month immediately following the
Change in Control, an amount equal to 50% of her then current base salary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the payments due in the event of a Change in Control
would constitute an excess parachute payment as defined in Section 280G of the Code , the
aggregate of such credits or payments under the employment agreement and other agreements shall be
reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such aggregate payments being subject
to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.
Pursuant to the employment agreement, Ms. West is subject to customary confidentiality,
non-solicitation of employees and non-competition obligations that survive the termination of such
agreements. In addition, Ms. West was provided an advance to reimburse her for living expenses not
