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. ("Command Center,” the “Company,” “CCI,” “we,” "us," or “our”) in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP 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.
 
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2016. The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year, or for any other fiscal period.
 
Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Command Center and all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates:  The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, workers’ compensation risk pool deposits, and workers’ compensation claims liability.
 
Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits, including interest-bearing accounts with original maturities of three months or less, held in banking institutions and a trust account.
 
Concentrations: At June 30, 2017, 31.1% of our accounts payable was due to a single vendor. At December 30, 2016, 20.6% of accounts payable were due to a single vendor.
 
Fair Value Measures: Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants on the measurement date. 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 a contingent liability. For additional information see Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2014, the FASB issued new revenue recognition guidance under ASU 2014-09 that will supersede the existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The new standard focuses on creating a single source of revenue guidance for revenue arising from contracts with customers for all industries. The objective of the new standard is for companies to recognize revenue when it transfers the promised goods or services to its customers at an amount that represents what the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year (ASU 2015-14). This ASU will now be effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. Since the issuance of the original standard, the FASB has issued several other subsequent updates including the following: 1) clarification of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations (ASU 2016-08); 2) further guidance on identifying performance obligations in a contract as well as clarifications on the licensing implementation guidance (ASU 2016-10); 3) rescission of several SEC Staff Announcements that are codified in Topic 605 (ASU 2016-11); and 4) additional guidance and practical expedients in response to identified implementation issues (ASU 2016-12). The new standard will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2018 and we expect to implement the standard with the modified retrospective approach, which recognizes the cumulative effect of application recognized on that date We are evaluating the impact of adoption on our consolidated results of operations, consolidated financial position and cash flows.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 amending the existing accounting standards for lease accounting and requiring lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months, including those classified as operating leases. Both the asset and liability will initially be measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments, with the asset being subject to adjustments such as initial direct costs. Consistent with current U.S. GAAP, the presentation of expenses and cash flows will depend primarily on the classification of the lease as either a finance or an operating lease. The new standard also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases in order to provide additional information about the nature of an organization’s leasing activities. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires modified retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash.” The new guidance requires that the reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown in the statement of cash flows include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. If restricted cash is presented separately from cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, companies will be required to reconcile the amounts presented on the statement of cash flows to the amounts on the balance sheet. Companies will also need to disclose information about the nature of the restrictions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and the interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2017.
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The new guidance simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the requirement to perform a Step 2 impairment test to compute the implied fair value of goodwill. Instead, companies will only compare the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value (Step 1) and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized may not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. This amended guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
Other accounting standards that have been issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. For the period ended June 30, 2017, the adoption of other accounting standards had no material impact on our financial positions, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
NOTE 2 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
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 June 30, 2017 and June 24, 2016, were 2,180,000 and 3,626,000, respectively.

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNT PURCHASE AGREEMENT & LINE OF CREDIT FACILITY
 
In May 2016, we signed a new account purchase agreement with our lender, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 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 on June 30, 2017 and December 30, 2016. When the account is paid by our customers, the remaining 10% is paid to us, less applicable fees and interest. Eligible accounts receivable are generally defined to include accounts that are not more than ninety days past due.
 
Pursuant to this agreement, at June 30, 2017, we owed approximately $109,000, and at December 30, 2016, there was approximately $114,000 that was owed to us which was included in Other receivables on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet.
 
The current agreement bears interest at the Daily One Month London Interbank Offered Rate plus 2.5% per annum. At June 30, 2017, the effective interest rate was 3.7%. Interest is payable on the actual amount advanced. Additional charges include an annual facility fee equal to 0.50% of the facility threshold in place 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, deposit accounts, and other such assets. Under our account purchase agreement, our borrowing base is limited to 90% of acceptable accounts as defined in the agreement, less the amount of outstanding letters of credit. At June 30, 2017, the amount available to us under the Wells Fargo agreement was approximately $120,000.
 
As of June 30, 2017, we had a letter of credit with Wells Fargo for approximately $6.0 million that secures our obligations to our workers’ compensation insurance carrier and reduces the amount available to us under the account purchase agreement. For additional information related to this letter of credit see Note 6 – Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Reserves.
 
The agreement requires that the sum of our unrestricted cash plus net accounts receivable must at all times be greater than the sum of the amount outstanding under the agreement plus accrued payroll and accrued payroll taxes. At June 30, 2017, and December 30, 2016, we were in compliance with this covenant.
 
NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION
 
On June 3, 2016, we purchased substantially all the assets of Hanwood Arkansas, LLC, an Arkansas limited liability company, and Hanwood Oklahoma, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company. Together these companies operated as Hancock Staffing (“Hancock”) from stores located in Little Rock, Arkansas and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We acquired all of the assets used in connection with the operation of the two staffing stores. In addition, we assumed liabilities for future payments due under the leases for the two stores, amounts owed on motor vehicles acquired, and the amount due on their receivables factoring line.
  
The aggregate consideration paid for Hancock was approximately $2,617,000, allocated as follows: (i) cash of $1,980,000; (ii) an unsecured one-year holdback obligation of $220,000; and (iii) assumed liabilities of approximately $417,000. As of June 30, 2017 the holdback obligation has not been released.
 
In connection with the acquisition of Hancock, we identified and recognized intangible assets of approximately $659,000 representing customer relationships and employment agreements/non-compete agreements. The customer relationships are being amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated life of four years and the non-compete agreements are being amortized over their two-year terms. During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2017, we recognized amortization expense of approximately $56,000 and $111,000, respectively. At June 30, 2017, the net intangible asset balance was approximately $419,000.

NOTE 6 – WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE AND RESERVES
 
On April 1, 2014, we changed our workers’ compensation carrier to ACE American Insurance Company (“ACE”) in all states in which we operate other than Washington and North Dakota. The ACE insurance policy is a large deductible policy where we have primary responsibility for all claims made. ACE provides insurance for covered losses and expenses in excess of $500,000 per incident. Under this high deductible program, we are largely self-insured. Per our contractual agreements with ACE, we must provide a collateral deposit of $6.0 million, which is accomplished through a letter of credit under our Account Purchase Agreement with Wells Fargo. For workers’ compensation claims originating in Washington and North Dakota, we pay workers’ compensation insurance premiums and obtain full coverage under mandatory state government administered programs. Generally, our liability associated with claims in these jurisdictions is limited to the payment of premiums. In the past, we also obtained full coverage in the state of New York under a policy issued by the State Fund of New York. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements reflect only the mandated workers’ compensation insurance premium liability for workers’ compensation claims in these jurisdictions.

From April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2014, our workers’ compensation carrier was Dallas National Insurance in all states in which we operate other than Washington, North Dakota and New York. The Dallas National coverage was a large deductible policy where we have primary responsibility for claims under the policy. Dallas National provided insurance for covered losses and expenses in excess of $350,000 per incident. Per our contractual agreements with Dallas National, we made payments into, and maintain a balance of $1.8 million as a non-depleting deposit as collateral for our self-insured claims. During this period, Dallas National arranged with Companion Insurance (now Sussex Insurance) to underwrite coverage in California and South Dakota. As a result of this arrangement, Sussex Insurance continues to hold a collateral deposit advanced by us of $215,000.
 
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 under which all claims are paid by Zurich. Zurich provided workers’ compensation coverage in all states in which we operated other than Washington and North Dakota.
 
From May 13, 2008 to March 31, 2011, our workers' compensation coverage was obtained through AMS Staff Leasing II (“AMS”) for coverage in all jurisdictions in which we operated, other than Washington and North Dakota. The AMS coverage was a large deductible policy where we have primary responsibility for claims under the policy. Under the AMS policies, we made payments into a risk pool fund to cover claims within our self-insured layer. Per our contractual agreements for this coverage, we were originally required to maintain a deposit in the amount of $500,000. At June 30, 2017, our deposit with AMS was approximately $483,000.
 
For the two-year period prior to May 13, 2008, our workers’ compensation coverage was obtained through policies issued by AIG. At June 30, 2017, our risk pool deposit with AIG was approximately $400,000.
 
As part of our large deductible workers’ compensation programs, our carriers require that we collateralize a portion of our future workers’ compensation obligations in order to secure future payments made on our behalf. This collateral is typically in the form of cash and cash equivalents. At June 30, 2017 and December 30, 2016, we had net cash collateral deposits of approximately $2.4 million. With the addition of the $6.0 million letter of credit, our cash and non-cash collateral totaled approximately $8.4 million at June 30, 2017. The letter of credit increased to $6.0 million on April 7, 2017, with the renewal of our current workers’ compensation policy with ACE (effective April 1, 2017, through March 31, 2018). The workers’ compensation risk pool deposits total $2.4 million as of June 30, 2017, consisting of a current portion of approximately $403,000 and a long-term portion of approximately $2.0 million. The long-term portion of the risk pool deposits is net of an allowance of approximately $500,000. This allowance is to reserve for the possibility that we will not recover all of our risk pool deposits that we placed with our former workers’ compensation insurance carrier, Freestone Insurance (formerly Dallas National Insurance Company). Freestone Insurance was placed in receivership by the State of Delaware in 2014. We continue to believe that we have a priority claim for the return of our collateral. However, the amount that will ultimately be returned to us is still uncertain. See Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information on cash collateral provided to Freestone Insurance Company.
 
Workers’ compensation expense for temporary workers is recorded as a component of our cost of services and consists of the following components: changes in our self-insurance reserves as determined by our third party actuary, actual claims paid, insurance premiums and administrative fees, and premiums paid in monopolistic jurisdictions. Workers’ compensation expense for our temporary workers totaled approximately $787,000 and $1.6 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Workers’ compensation expense for our temporary workers totaled approximately $894,000 and $1.7 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 24, 2016, respctively.
 
The workers’ compensation risk pool deposits are classified as current and non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet based upon management’s estimate of when the related claims liabilities will be paid. The deposits have not been discounted to present value in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All liabilities associated with our workers’ compensation claims are fully reserved on our consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 7 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
 
Employee Stock Incentive Plan:  Our 2008 Stock Incentive Plan expired in January 2016. Outstanding awards continue to remain in effect according to the terms of the plan and the award documents. The 2008 Stock Incentive Plan permitted the grant of up to 6.4 million stock options in order to motivate, attract and retain the services of employees, officers and directors, and to provide an incentive for outstanding performance. Pursuant to awards under this plan, there were 1,917,500 and 1,860,500 stock options vested at June 30, 2017 and December 30, 2016, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, we had one equity compensation plan, namely the Command Center, Inc. 2016 Stock Incentive Plan, approved by the shareholders on November 17, 2016. Pursuant to the 2016 Plan, the Compensation Committee is authorized to issue awards for up to 6.0 million shares over the 10 year life of the plan. Currently, there have been no awards granted under this plan.

NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
Stock Repurchase:  In April 2015, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a $5.0 million three year repurchase plan of our common stock. During the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2017, we did not purchase any shares of common under the plan. During the twenty-six weeks ended June 24, 2016 we purchased 2,163,464 shares of common stock at an aggregate price of $880,000. We have approximately $2.1 million remaining under the plan.
 
NOTE 9 – INCOME TAX
 
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of our deferred taxes generally consists of net operating loss, accrued vacation, workers’ compensation claims liability, depreciation, bad debt reserve, deferred rent, stock compensation, charitable contributions, AMT credit, and other accruals.
 
NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Operating leases:  We presently lease office space for our corporate headquarters in Lakewood, Colorado. The lease for the corporate headquarters expires January 31, 2021. We currently pay approximately $11,000 per month for our office space with annual increases of approximately 3%. We own all of the office furniture and equipment used in our corporate headquarters.
 
We also lease the facilities for all of our store locations. All of these facilities are leased at market rates that vary in amount depending on location. Each store is between 1,000 and 5,000 square feet, depending on location and market conditions.
 
We lease store facilities, vehicles, and equipment. Most of our store leases have terms that extend over three to five years. The majority of the leases have cancellation provisions that allow us to cancel with 90 days' notice. Other leases have been in existence long enough that the term has expired and we are currently occupying the premises on month-to-month tenancies. Minimum lease obligations for the next five fiscal years as of June 30, 2017, are:

Legal Proceedings: From time to time we are involved in various legal proceedings. Except for the Freestone Insurance Company liquidation proceedings (discussed in detail below), we believe the outcome of these proceedings, even if determined adversely, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. There have been no material changes in our legal proceedings since June 30, 2017.
 
Freestone Insurance Company Liquidation: From April 1, 2012, through March 31, 2014, our workers’ compensation insurance coverage was provided by Dallas National Insurance under high deductible policies in which we are responsible for the first $350,000 per incident. During this time period, Dallas National changed its corporate name to Freestone Insurance Company. Under the terms of the policies, because we are obligated to pay for the costs of claims up to the deductible amount, we were required to provide cash collateral of $900,000 per year, for a total of $1.8 million, as a non-depleting fund to secure our payment up to the deductible amount. In January 2014, Freestone Insurance provided written confirmation to us that it continued to hold $1.8 million of Command Center funds as collateral and stated that an additional $200,000 was held at another insurance provider for a total of $2.0 million. In April 2014, the State of Delaware placed Freestone Insurance in receivership due to concerns about its financial condition. On August 15, 2014, the receivership was converted to a liquidation proceeding. The receiver then distributed pending individual claims for workers’ compensation benefits to the respective state guaranty funds for administration. In many cases, the state guaranty funds have made payments directly to the claimants. In other situations we have continued to pay claims that are below the deductible level. We are not aware of any pending claims from this time period that exceed or are likely to exceed our deductible.

From about July 1, 2008 until April 1, 2011, in most states our workers’ compensation coverage was provided under an agreement with AMS Staff Leasing II, through a master policy with Dallas National. During this time period, we deposited approximately $500,000 with an affiliate of Dallas National for collateral related to the coverage through AMS Staff Leasing II. Claims that remain open from this time period have also been distributed by the receiver to the state guaranty funds. In one instance, the State of Minnesota has denied liability for payment of a workers’ compensation claim that arose in 2010 and is in excess of our deductible. In the first quarter of 2016 we settled the individual workers’ compensation case and we ultimately withdrew our legal challenge to the state’s denial of liability.
 
During the second quarter of 2015, the receiver requested court authorization to disburse funds to the state guaranty funds. We and other depositors of collateral with Freestone objected and asked the court to block the disbursements until a full accounting of the assets and liabilities of Freestone is provided. Distribution of funds by the receiver to the state guaranty funds remains on hold. As a result of these developments, during the second quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 we recorded reserves of $250,000 on the deposit balance, for a total reserve of $500,000. The current net deposit of $1.8 million is recorded as workers’ compensation risk pool deposit. We review these deposits at each balance sheet date, and at June 30, 2017, no additional reserve was recognized because any potential impairment was not probable and estimable.
 
On July 5, 2016, the receiver filed the First Accounting for the period April 28, 2014 through December 31, 2015, with the Delaware Court of Chancery. The First Accounting does not clarify the issues with respect to the collateral claims, priorities and return of collateral. In the accounting, the receiver reports total assets consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $87.7 million as of December 31, 2015.
 
In late 2015, we filed timely proofs of claim with the receiver. One proof of claim is filed as a priority claim seeking return of the full amount of our collateral deposits. The other proof of claim is a general claim covering non-collateral items. We believe that our claim to the return of our collateral is a priority claim in the liquidation proceeding and that our collateral should be returned to us. However, if it is ultimately determined that our claim is not a priority claim, or if there are insufficient assets in the liquidation to satisfy the priority claims, we may not receive any or all of our collateral.
 
In late May 2017, the receiver filed a petition with the court, proposing a plan as to how the receiver would identify and pay collateral to all insureds that paid cash collateral to Freestone. In the petition, the receiver has acknowledged receiving only $500,000 of Command Center’s collateral. Of the $500,000 acknowledged, the receiver proposes to return only approximately $6,000 to Command Center. There was no comment or information provided in the petition regarding the additional $1.8 million in collateral provided by Command Center to Freestone via its agent, High Point Risk Services, which Freestone previously confirmed receipt of in a letter to Command Center in January 2014. Furthermore, the receiver has proposed similar severe reductions to the other collateral depositors. Although the receiver acknowledged holding $87.7 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2015, the receiver proposes to pay only approximately $1.1 million in total for return of collateral, to be divided among all collateral depositors in differing proportions.
 
It is noteworthy that the receiver has not specified its supposed tracing method in a manner that would allow any collateral depositor or the court to understand the particulars of the process by which the receiver would severely reduce the initial collateral deposit to a nominal figure. We do know that the stated tracing methodology used by the receiver includes the Lowest Intermediate Balance Test (LIBT). We and other collateral depositors are working to determine whether the application of the LIBT is correct in this matter. If it is ultimately determined that the LIBT is the correct tracing methodology, we must determine if the receiver applied the LIBT in the correct manner. To date, the receiver has provided very little information to assist collateral depositors in the depositors’ efforts to ascertain answers to these very fundamental questions.
 
In February 2016, the receiver indicated that the receivership estate had sufficient unencumbered funds to pay in full the claims of all collateral depositors who asserted priority claims. Our initial assessment of the receivers petition is that the plan proposed by the receiver is incomplete, factually incorrect, and legally unsupportable. We therefore believe that the receiver's plan is unsustainable and unlikely to succeed and are aggressively proceeding with our efforts to defeat the result sought and to advance our own case for payment of our collateral claims in full. The Company and its counsel, in conjunction and coordination with counsel for other potentially aggrieved collateral depositors, are working diligently in order to maximize our recovery of collateral deposits previously made to Freestone under written policy agreements. To be clear, the receiver does not have the final say in how this matter is decided. The Chancery Court in Delaware makes that decision after hearing evidence and arguments from all engaged parties.
 
Because we are still in the very early stages of this adversarial litigation, we are unable provide an estimate as to when the court may ultimately rule on the receiver’s proposal. Presently, we anticipate that the hearing on the receiver’s petition will not occur for several months, allowing time for all affected parties to engage in formal and informal discovery. We are similarly unable to provide a projection as to how the court may rule or what amount of collateral Command Center may ultimately receive. If the court were to grant the relief sought by the receiver, that result would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Forward Looking Statements: This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding industry trends, our future financial position and performance, business strategy, revenues and expenses in future periods, projected levels of growth and other matters that do not relate strictly to historical facts. These statements are often identified by words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “continue,” “could,” “should” or similar expressions or variations. These statements are based on the beliefs and expectations of our management based on information currently available. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by forward-looking statements. Important factors currently known to our management that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those referenced in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2016 under Item 1A “Risk Factors.” We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, is a non-GAAP measure that represents net income attributable to us before interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash compensation, and certain non-recurring expenses, or Adjusted EBITDA, is a non-GAAP measure that represents net income attributable to us before interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, non-cash compensation and certain non-recurring expenses, including reserve for workers’ compensation deposit. We utilize EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as financial measures as management believes investors find them to be useful tools to perform more meaningful analysis of past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate our results of operations. We believe these metrics are useful complements to net income and other financial performance measures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to represent net income as defined by U.S. GAAP, and such information should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance prescribed by GAAP.
 
We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure our financial performance because we believe interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash compensation and certain non-recurring charges, including a reserve for workers’ compensation deposit, bear little or no relationship to our operating performance. By excluding interest expense, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measure our financial performance irrespective of our capital structure or how we finance our operations. By excluding taxes on income, we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide a basis for measuring the financial performance of our operations excluding factors that our stores cannot control. By excluding depreciation and amortization expense, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measure the financial performance of our operations without regard to their historical cost. By excluding stock based compensation, Adjusted EBITDA provides a basis for measuring the financial performance of our operations. In addition, by excluding certain nonrecurring charges, Adjusted EBITDA provides a basis for measuring financial performance without unusual nonrecurring charges. For all of these reasons, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide us and investors with information that is relevant and useful in evaluating our business.
 
However, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude depreciation and amortization, they do not measure the capital we require to maintain or preserve our fixed assets. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect interest expense, and do not take into account the total amount of interest we pay on outstanding debt, nor do they show trends in interest costs due to changes in our financing or changes in interest rates. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, may not be comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as reported by other companies that do not define EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exactly as we define those terms. Because we use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our financial performance, we reconcile them to net income, which is the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
