Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by Command Center, Inc. (the Company, CCNI, us, we, or our) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial reporting, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP may have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the fiscal periods presented have been included. The information included in this 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes to the financial statements included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2011.
Consolidation: In January of 2012 we organized Disaster Recovery Services, Inc. (DRSI) as a wholly owned subsidiary (see Note 5) and during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2012, we incurred expenses in ComStaff Transport, Inc. (ComStaff), a previously dormant wholly owned entity. Accordingly, the consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of CCNI, DRSI, and ComStaff. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications: Certain financial statement amounts for the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications include certain transportation costs which were reclassified from Cost of staffing services into Selling, general and administrative expenses, and bank fees and penalties which were reclassified from interest expense and other financing expenses into Selling, general and administrative expenses. These reclassifications had no effect on the net income or loss or accumulated deficit as previously reported.
Derivatives: From time to time, we enter into transactions which utilize types of financing to fund our business needs, including warrants and other instruments, not indexed to our stock. We are required to record these derivative instruments at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized as a gain (loss) in our Statement of Operations.
Fair Value Measures: Our policy on fair value measures requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The policy establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The policy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our financial instruments consist principally of stock warrant liabilities, and a contingent liability.The table below sets forth our assets and liabilities measured at fair value, on a recurring basis.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and does not include the impact of any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in our earnings through the conversion of common shares issuable via outstanding stock options and stock warrants, except where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Total outstanding common stock equivalents at September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011 were 13,506,303 and 13,577,053, respectively.
We have an account purchase agreement in place which allows us to sell eligible accounts receivable for 90% of the invoiced amount on a full recourse basis up to the facility maximum, $14 million, at September 28, 2012. When the invoice is paid, the remaining 10% is paid to us, less applicable fees and interest. Net accounts receivable sold pursuant to this agreement at September 28, 2012 were approximately $8.9 million. The term of the agreement is through April, 2014. The agreement bears interest at the greater of the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 5.25% or 6.25% per annum. At September 28, 2012 the effective interest rate was 6.25%. Interest is payable on the actual amount advanced or $3 million, whichever is greater. Additional charges include an annual facility fee equal to one percent of the facility threshold in place, a monthly monitoring fee of $5,000, and lockbox fees. As collateral for repayment of any and all obligations, we granted Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. a security interest in all of our property including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, intangible assets, contract rights, investment property, deposit accounts, and other such assets.
The agreement requires that the sum of the excess available advances, plus our book cash balance at month end, must at all times be greater than accrued payroll and accrued payroll taxes. At September 28, 2012, we were in compliance with this covenant.
NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS
On January 4, 2012 (effective January 1, 2012), through our wholly-owned and newly formed subsidiary DRSI, we entered into an asset purchase agreement (the Agreement), with DR Services of Louisiana, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company, and Environmental Resource Group, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (collectively DRS, LLC). Under the terms of the Agreement, we acquired substantially all of DRS, LLC’s assets.
The following tables summarize the consideration transferred and the recognized amounts of assets acquired:
Consideration Transferred:
|
||||
Cash
|
$ | 150,000 | ||
Note payable
|
150,000 | |||
Equity instruments (1.5 million shares of restricted common stock)
|
390,000 | |||
Contingent consideration (Up to an additional 1.5 million shares of restricted common stock)
|
851,727 | |||
$ | 1,541,727 | |||
Identifiable Assets and Goodwill Acquired:
|
||||
Customer list
|
$ | 608,096 | ||

|
36,830 | |||

|

Other tangible property
|
10,163 | |||
Goodwill
|
806,786 | |||
$ | 1,541,727 |
The number of shares to be issued pursuant to the contingent consideration is based on the sum of two calculations performed each quarter for the 8 quarters following the acquisition. The first calculation takes 9% of net revenue divided by the greater of our current stock price or $0.50 divided by 2. The second calculation takes 9% of actual net revenue less the prior year’s quarterly revenue, stepped up by 5% each quarter (i.e., 5% increase in the first of eight quarters and a 40% increase in the eighth of eight quarters) with the increase, if any, divided by the greater of our current stock price or $0.50.
7
The fair value of the 1.5 million shares issued was determined based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of issuance.
The fair value of the contingent shares to be issued was determined based upon a binomial model where we estimated our future stock price and the future revenue growth of DRSI over the 8 quarters following the acquisition. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the contingent liability are as follows:
Command Center, Inc. future stock price
|
$0.50 - $2.10
|
DRSI quarterly revenue growth
|
10.0% - 40.0%
|
The change in fair value amounted to approximately $(4,000) and $26,000 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2012 , respectively, and are included in the line item Gain (loss) on derivative liabilities in our Statement of Operations.
As part of the agreement, the owners of DRS, LLC entered into employment agreements with us with a term of one year in which we agreed to pay them an annual salary, performance related bonuses, and a vehicle allowance. Also as part of the agreement, the owners of DRS, LLC entered into non-compete agreements with a term of two years.
Our consolidated condensed financial statements for fiscal year 2012 reflect all DRSI transactions for the entire period. Accordingly, no pro forma information for 2012 is being presented. Pro forma results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2011, as if the acquisition date of DRS, LLC had been January 1, 2011 (the first day of our 2011 fiscal year), are as follows:

The owners of DRS, LLC ran certain contracts through Environmental Resources Group, LLC. Amounts in the adjustments column relate to these contracts.
Prior to the agreement, DRS, LLC had subcontracted with us to provide temporary employment services in various disaster relief projects, such as flood recovery work, in several states.
NOTE 5 – WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE AND RESERVES
On April 1, 2012 we changed our workers’ compensation carriers to Dallas National in all states in which we operate other than Washington and North Dakota. The Dallas National coverage is a large deductible policy where we have primary responsibility for claims under the policy. Dallas National provides insurance for covered losses and expenses in excess of $350,000 per incident. Per our contractual agreements with Dallas National, we will make payments into, and maintain a balance of, $900,000 in a non-depleting deposit account to cover claims within our self-insured layer. For workers' compensation claims originating in Washington and North Dakota, monopolistic jurisdictions, we pay workers' compensation insurance premiums and obtain full coverage under state government administered programs. Accordingly, our financial statements reflect only the mandated workers' compensation insurance premium liability for workers' compensation claims in these jurisdictions.
From April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012 our workers’ compensation coverage was obtained through Zurich American Insurance Company (Zurich). The policy with Zurich was a guaranteed cost plan, which is in contrast to our current and previous coverage where we are and were substantially self-insured through a large deductible policy. Zurich provided workers compensation coverage in all states in which we operate other than Washington and North Dakota.
Our previous workers’ compensation coverage was a large deductible policy where we had primary responsibility for claims under the policy. Our workers’ compensation carriers provide insurance for covered losses and expenses in excess of $250,000 per claim.
Workers' compensation expense for temporary workers is recorded as a component of our cost of services and totaled approximately $3.1 million and $3.3 million for the period ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Everyday Staffing, LLC tax liabilities: On June 30, 2006, we acquired three locations from Everyday Staffing LLC (Everyday Staffing) in exchange for 579,277 shares of our common stock. At the time of the acquisitions, Michael Moothart, controlling member of Everyday Staffing, represented that all tax liabilities of Everyday Staffing had been paid. As a result of the acquisitions, we booked a note payable to Everyday Staffing in the amount of approximately $113,000. In early 2008, we received notice from the State of Washington that Everyday Staffing owed certain tax obligations to the State that arose prior to the date of acquisition. The State of Washington requested that we pay the amounts due under a theory of successor liability. Subsequently, we received a second claim for successor liability. These two claims are described below.
The Department of Labor and Industries (the Department) issued two Notices and Orders of Assessment of Industrial Insurance Taxes (Notice(s)) to us. The Notices claims and assesses taxes of approximately $958,000. We strongly dispute both the alleged successor liability and also the monetary amount asserted by the Department. We are pursuing our administrative remedies in order to vigorously contest the assertions of these Notices. In strongly disputing the claims of the Department, management believes that the potential liability, if any, is not probable and is not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, no liability has been established on our balance sheet for the amount claimed. Management believes our liability, if any, from the claims and assessments of the Department are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in future periods.
After approximately four years of inaction by the Department on the pending administrative cases, it recently issued orders affirming its 2008 decisions. On October 22, 2012, we received two Orders and Notices from the Department affirming the Notices and Orders as Assessment that were served upon us in November 2008. We intend to file administrative appeals of the Department's latest Orders in the pending cases with the Washington Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals.
In response to our position that we are not the legal successor to Everyday Staffing, the Department asserted its claim of successor liability against a second limited liability company, also known as Everyday Staffing, LLC (Everyday Staffing II). Everyday Staffing II was organized by the members of Everyday Staffing after Everyday Staffing was administratively dissolved by the state. The assertion by the State of Washington of successor liability against Everyday Staffing II is consistent with the position advanced by us that Everyday Staffing II, and not Command Center, Inc. is the only successor to the entity against which the industrial insurance taxes were assessed.
12
In response to the 2008 Department Notices for payment of Everyday Staffing liabilities, we filed a lawsuit against Everyday Staffing and Mr. Moothart seeking indemnification and monetary damages. In September, 2009, we obtained a judgment against Mr. Moothart and Everyday Staffing, jointly and severally, in the amount of $1.295 million. The collectability of this judgment is questionable. Glenn Welstad, our CEO, has a minority interest in Everyday Staffing as a passive investor.
Legal Proceedings:
In September 2011, we were served with a lawsuit filed against us by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). In June 2012, we stipulated to the dismissal of the case without prejudice. The suit alleged that D&B provided financial information and services to us on account pursuant to a written order and sought recovery of $247,000. The dismissal of the lawsuit does not reflect a resolution of the underlying issues and we have agreed with D&B to mediate this dispute without pending litigation. We have recorded a reserve of $50,000 for this potential liability.
In December, 2011, Jeff Mitchell, our former Chief Financial Officer, filed a lawsuit in Kootenai County, Idaho District Court against us and Glenn Welstad, our CEO, alleging breach of contract, failure to pay wages, and for director's liability, arising out of the alleged nonpayment of a bonus claimed to be due for the third quarter of 2011. While specifically denying all liability, the suit was settled through mediation in September in order to avoid the expense and uncertainty of litigation. We agreed to pay Mr. Mitchell $100,000, of which $25,000 has been paid to date. The remaining $75,000 will be paid as installments over the next seven months.
On August 3, 2012, Trident Seafoods Corporation and Liberty Mutual filed a lawsuit against Command Center, Inc., in the United States District Court, Western District of Washington, for declaratory judgment, breach of contract and violation of the Consumer Protection Act. This action is the result of a previous decision of the administrative law judge for the U.S. Department of Labor, wherein it was determined that a former employee of Command Center was, in fact, an employee of Trident Seafoods, for purposes of the U.S. Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act. Trident Seafoods alleges Command Center has a contractual duty to pay workers’ compensation benefits for the injured “borrowed” employee. Command Center believes the claims asserted by Trident are unfounded and intends to vigorously defend this case.
NOTE 10 – CONCENTRATIONS
At September 28, 2012, we had two customers which accounted for approximately $1.4 million, or 26.8%, of our accounts receivable. Revenues from these two customers totaled approximately $5.6 million, or 7.8%, of our total revenue for the period ending September 28, 2012. At September 30, 2011, we had four customers which accounted for approximately $2.0 million, or 52.0%, of our accounts receivable. Revenues from these four customers totaled approximately $7.4 million, or 12.0%, of our total revenue for the period ending September 30, 2011. A reduction in sales from, or loss of, such a customer could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition and/or our results of operations.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and the change in fair value of our derivative liabilities ( EBITDA-D) is a non-GAAP measure that represents net income (loss) attributable to CCNI before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense), depreciation and amortization, and the change in fair value of our derivative liabilities. We utilize EBITDA-D as a financial measure as management believes investors find it a useful tool to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate our results operations. We believe it is a complement to net income (loss) and other financial performance measures. EBITDA-D is not intended to represent net income (loss) as defined by GAAP, and such information should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of performance prescribed by GAAP.
14
We use EBITDA-D to measure our financial performance because we believe interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and the change in fair value of our derivative liabilities bear little or no relationship to our operating performance. By excluding interest expense, EBITDA-D measures our financial performance irrespective of our capital structure or how we finance our operations. By excluding taxes on income, we believe EBITDA-D provides a basis for measuring the financial performance of our operations excluding factors that our branches cannot control. By excluding depreciation and amortization expense, EBITDA-D measures the financial performance of our operations without regard to their historical cost. By excluding the change in fair value of our derivative liabilities, EBITDA-D provides a basis for measuring the financial performance of our operations excluding factors that are beyond our control. For all of these reasons, we believe that EBITDA-D provides us and investors with information that is relevant and useful in evaluating our business.
However, because EBITDA-D excludes depreciation and amortization, it does not measure the capital we require to maintain or preserve our fixed assets. In addition, because EBITDA-D does not reflect interest expense, it does not take into account the total amount of interest we pay on outstanding debt nor does it show trends in interest costs due to changes in our financing or changes in interest rates. EBITDA-D, as defined by us, may not be comparable to EBITDA-D as reported by other companies that do not define EBITDA-D exactly as we define the term. Because we use EBITDA-D to evaluate our financial performance, we reconcile it to net income (loss), which is the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA-D to net income (loss) for the periods presented:

Summary of Operations: Revenue for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2012 was $28.4 million, an increase of approximately $3.4 million, or 13.7%, when compared to the third quarter of 2011. This increase in revenue is attributable to the acquisition of DRS, LLC, increased activity in North Dakota, and recent restoration projects.
Cost of Services: Cost of services was 74.1% and 76.4% of revenue for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. The decrease in relative costs is primarily related to our continued focus on increasing our gross margin by controlling costs and our recently adopted incentive programs. This decrease is offset by an increase in per-diem costs and material costs relating to contracts we are a party to, and are typically passed on.
Workers' compensation expense was 4.3% and 4.9% of revenue for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. This relative decrease in 2012 is due to the increase in the 2011 worker's compensation claims liability as estimated by our actyuary in 2011.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A): SG&A expenses were 22.1% and 18.3% of revenue for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. This increase is primarily related to an increase in compensation. We also experienced an increase in travel and other expenses this quarter relating to restoration projects.
Thirty-nine Weeks Ended September 28, 2012
Summary of Operations: Revenue for the Thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2012 was $71.7 million, an increase of approximately $10.1 million, or 16.4%, when compared to 2011. This increase in revenue is attributable to the acquisition of DRS, LLC and organic sales growth due to the sustained increase in demand in the temporary staffing industry.
Cost of Services: Cost of services was 74.9% and 77.6% of revenue for the Thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. This decrease is a direct result of management's increased focus on improving the fundamentals of our business. The decrease in relative costs is primarily related to our implementation of new incentive programs, our continued management of our worker’s compensation costs, and focusing on higher gross margin contracts. This decrease is offset by an increase in per-diem costs which relate to a contract we acquired earlier this year.
15
Workers' compensation expense was 4.3% and 5.3% of revenue for the Thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. This decrease is due to the lower relative cost we experienced in the first quarter.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A): SG&A expenses were 21.8% and 21.5% of revenue for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. SG&A expenses remained relatively consistent as a percentage of revenue. This stability is due primarily to increased efficiencies we experienced in the first quarter. While SG&A expenses increased slightly relative to revenue, they increased by approximately $2.4 million. This increase was primarily due to an increase in variable costs that are directly related to volume as well as increased compensation, professional fees, rent and travel costs.
Based on our current operating plan, we anticipate that we will have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations into the foreseeable future. If the level of sales anticipated by our financial plan are not achieved or our working capital requirements are higher than planned, we may need to raise additional cash or take actions to reduce operating expenses.
Cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $698,000 during the period ended September 28, 2012, as compared to cash used by operations of approximately $1.4 million during the same period in 2011. During the period ended September 28, 2012, the cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by an increase in our workers’ compensation premiums and claims liability of approximately $1.4 million, an increase in accrued wages and benefits of approximately 1.3 million, and a decrease in our deferred tax asset of approximately $698,000. This was offset by an increase in our workers’ compensation risk pool deposits of approximately $828,000, an increase in accounts payable of approximately $381,000, and an increase in prepaid expenses of approximately $147,000.
Cash used by investing activities totaled approximately $340,000 for the period ended September 28, 2012 compared to cash used by investing activities of approximately $71,000 during the same time period in 2011. For the period ended September 28, 2012, $150,000 was used to purchase DRSI, and approximately $190,000 was used to purchase additional property and equipment.
Cash used by financing activities totaled $150,000 for the period ended September 28, 2012 and relates to payments on a note used to finance the purchase of DRSI.
Our continued capital needs will depend on store operating performance and our ability to control costs. We currently have approximately 12.1 million warrants outstanding, and approximately 1.4 million vested stock options, which may offer a source of additional capital if exercised.
Accounts Receivable: At September 28, 2012, we had total current assets of approximately $8.1 million and current liabilities of approximately $6.6 million. Included in current assets are trade accounts receivable of approximately $5.1 million (net of allowance for bad debts of approximately $226,000). Our cash position at September 28, 2012 was approximately $1.3 million. Weighted average aging on our trade accounts receivable at September 28, 2012 was 26 days. Actual bad debt write-off expense as a percentage of total customer invoices during the Thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2012 was 0.37%. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts. We regularly review our accounts receivable for collectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on historical write-off experience and current economic data and represents our best estimate of the amount of probable losses on our accounts receivable. We typically refer overdue balances to a collection agency at 120 days and the collection agent pursues collection for another 60 days. Most balances over 120 days past due are written off as it is probable the receivable will not be collected. We will continue to monitor and seek to improve our historical collection ratio and aging experience with respect to trade accounts receivable as these are important factors affecting our liquidity.
Financing: We have an account purchase agreement in place which allows us to sell eligible accounts receivable for 90% of the invoiced amount on a full recourse basis up to the facility maximum, or $14 million at September 28, 2012. When the account is paid, the remaining 10% is paid to us, less the applicable fees and interest. Net accounts receivable sold pursuant to this agreement at September 28, 2012 were approximately $8.9 million. As of the date of this filing, the term of the agreement is through April, 2014. The agreement bears interest at the greater of the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 5.25% or 6.25% per annum. At September 28, 2012 the effective interest rate was 6.25%. Interest is payable on the actual amount advanced or $3 million, whichever is greater. Additional charges include an annual facility fee equal to one percent of the facility threshold in place, a monthly monitoring fee of $5,000, and lockbox fees. As collateral for repayment of any and all obligations, we granted Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. a security interest in all our property, including, but not limited to, accounts, intangible assets, contract rights, investment property, deposit accounts, and other such assets.

Workers’ Compensation: On April 1, 2012 we changed our workers’ compensation carriers to Dallas National in all states in which we operate other than Washington and North Dakota. Management believes this change will keep our workers’ compensation expense at a minimum for the policy year. The Dallas National coverage is a large deductible policy where we have primary responsibility for claims under the policy. Dallas National provides re-insurance for covered losses and expenses in excess of $350,000 per incident. Per our contractual agreements with Dallas National, we will make payments into, and maintain a balance of, $900,000 in a non-depleting deposit account to cover claims within our self-insured layer.
Acquisitions and Successor Liability: In January, 2012, through our wholly-owned and newly formed subsidiary Disaster Recovery Services, Inc., we entered into an asset purchase agreement with DR Services of Louisiana, LLC, a Louisiana Limited Liability Company, Environmental Resource Group, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company, and their members (collectively DRS, LLC). Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement with DRS, LLC, we acquired substantially all of their assets in exchange for $300,000 and 1.5 million shares of our restricted common stock valued at $390,000. There is also contingent fee due of up to an additional 1.5 million shares of our restricted common stock based on certain enumerated operating performance standards over the next 2 years, which were originally valued at $851,727. The amounts of the assets acquired at the acquisition date include tangible property valued at $90,015, other identifiable intangible assets valued at $644,926, and goodwill of $806,786.
The fair value of the 1.5 million shares issued was determined based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of issuance. The fair value of the contingent shares to be issued was determined based upon a binomial model where we estimated future amounts of variables in the formula that determines the number of shares to be issued.
As part of the agreement, the owners of DRS, LLC entered into employment agreements with us with a term of one year in which we agree to pay them an annual salary, performance related bonuses, and a vehicle allowance. Also as part of the agreement, the owners of DRS, LLC entered into non-compete agreements with a term of two years.
Prior to the agreement, DRS, LLC had subcontracted with us to provide temporary employment services in various disaster relief projects, such as flood recovery work in several states.
In May and June 2006, we acquired operating assets for a number of temporary staffing stores. The entities that owned and operated these stores received stock in consideration of the transaction. As operating businesses prior to our acquisition, each entity incurred obligations for payroll withholding taxes, workers’ compensation insurance fund taxes, and other liabilities. We structured the acquisition as an asset purchase and agreed to assume only the liability for each entity's accounts receivable financing line of credit. We also obtained representations that liabilities for payroll taxes and other liabilities not assumed by us would be paid by the entities and in each case those entities are contractually committed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from unassumed liabilities.
Since the acquisitions, it has come to our attention that certain tax obligations incurred on operations prior to our acquisitions have not been paid. The entities that sold us the assets (the selling entities) are primarily liable for these obligations. The owners of the selling entities may also be liable. In most cases, the selling entities were owned or controlled by Glenn Welstad, our CEO.
Based on the information currently available, we estimate that the total state payroll and other tax liabilities owed by the selling entities is between $400,000 and $600,000 and that total payroll taxes due to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is between $1 and $2 million.
The asset purchase agreements governing these transactions require that the selling entities indemnify us for any liabilities or claims we incur as a result of these predecessor tax liabilities. We have also secured an indemnification agreement from Glenn Welstad with a partial pledge of his common stock.
We have not accrued any liability related to these claims for state payroll taxes and total payroll taxes due to the IRS because we have been advised by outside legal counsel that the likelihood of successor liability for these claims is remote. We would be adversely affected if the state or federal government was able to establish we are liable for these claims.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There is no established market for trading the common stock of the Company. The market for the Company’s common stock is limited, and as such shareholders may have difficulty reselling their shares when desired or at attractive market prices. The Common Stock is not regularly quoted in the automated quotation system of a registered securities system or association. Our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, is quoted on the OTC Markets Group QB (OTCQB) under the symbol “CCNI”. The OTCQB is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network which provides information on current “bids” and “asks” as well as volume information. The OTCQB is not considered a “national exchange”. The “over-the-counter” quotations do not reflect inter-dealer prices, retail mark-ups commissions or actual transactions. The Company’s common stock has continued to trade in low volumes and at low prices. Some investors view low-priced stocks as unduly speculative and therefore not appropriate candidates for investment. Many institutional investors have internal policies prohibiting the purchase or maintenance of positions in low-priced stocks.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1937, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, these controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange commission’s rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In September 2011, we were served with a lawsuit filed against us by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). In June 2012, we stipulated to the dismissal of the case without prejudice. The suit alleged that D&B provided financial information and services to us on account pursuant to a written order and sought recovery of $247,000. The dismissal of the lawsuit does not reflect a resolution of the underlying issues and we have agreed with D&B to mediate this dispute without pending litigation. We have recorded a reserve of $50,000 for this potential liability.
In December, 2011, Jeff Mitchell, our former Chief Financial Officer, filed a lawsuit in Kootenai County, Idaho District Court against us and Glenn Welstad, our CEO, alleging breach of contract, failure to pay wages, and for director's liability, arising out of the alleged nonpayment of a bonus claimed to be due for the third quarter of 2011. While specifically denying all liability, the suit was settled through mediation in September in order to avoid the expense and uncertainty of litigation. We agreed to pay Mr. Mitchell $100,000, of which $25,000 has been paid to date. The remaining $75,000 will be paid as installments over the next seven months.
On August 3, 2012, Trident Seafoods Corporation and Liberty Mutual filed a lawsuit against Command Center, Inc., in the United States District Court, Western District of Washington, for declaratory judgment, breach of contract and violation of the Consumer Protection Act. This action is the result of a previous decision of the administrative law judge for the U.S. Department of Labor, wherein it was determined that a former employee of Command Center was, in fact, an employee of Trident Seafoods, for purposes of the U.S. Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act. Trident Seafoods alleges Command Center has a contractual duty to pay workers’ compensation benefits for the injured “borrowed” employee. Command Center believes the claims asserted by Trident are unfounded and intends to vigorously defend this case.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the Risk Factors we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 2012.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
On August 22, 2012, we issued 149,813 shares of common stock valued at $49,438 as part of the consideration given for DRS, LLC.
On September 1, 2012, we issued 18,000 shares of common stock to James Caplan for services valued at $4,920. Also on September 1, 2012, we issued 18,000 shares of common stock to Victor Nostras for services valued at $4,920.
We believe these securities transaction were exempt from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the Act) because they were offered and sold in private, non-public transactions pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and are deemed restricted securities which may not be publicly resold, without registration under the Act or unless exempt from the registration requirements.
