RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated)

1.     Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements of RCM Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“RCM” or the “Company”) are unaudited. The year-end consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to reports on Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 27, 2008 included in the Company’s Annual Report Form 10-K for such period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

The consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such interim periods.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Results for the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year.

2.     Fiscal Year

The Company follows a 52/53 week fiscal reporting calendar ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. A 53-week year occurs periodically. The fiscal year ended December 27, 2008 was a 52-week reporting year. The second fiscal quarter of 2008, the 2008 fiscal year and the second fiscal quarter of 2009 ended on the following dates, respectively:

3.     Use of Estimates and Uncertainties

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, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company uses estimates to calculate an allowance for doubtful accounts on its accounts receivables. These estimates can be significant to the operating results and financial position of the Company.
 
The Company has risk participation arrangements with respect to workers compensation and health care insurance. The amounts included in the Company’s costs related to this risk participation are estimated and can vary based on changes in assumptions, the Company’s claims experience or the providers included in the associated insurance programs.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated)

3.     Use of Estimates and Uncertainties (Continued)

The Company can be affected by a variety of factors including uncertainty relating to the performance of the general economy, competition, demand for the Company’s services, adverse litigation and claims and the hiring, training and retention of key employees.

The Company’s carrying value of financial instruments, consisting primarily of accounts receivable, approximates fair value. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet financial instruments. The Company does not have derivative products in place to manage risks related to foreign currency fluctuations for its foreign operations or for interest rate changes.

4.     Note Receivable     

On February 26, 2008, the Company accepted a promissory note from a customer for $7.4 million in payment of a like amount of accounts receivable from that customer. The customer paid $1.3 million through April 30, 2008 at which point management of the Company concluded that the customer was going to default on its May 1, 2008 installment payment. During the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2008, the Company determined that the note receivable was not collectible and reserved for the note. During the thirteen week period ended September 27, 2008, the Company wrote off the note receivable.

5.     Acquisitions

General

In connection with certain acquisitions, the Company is obligated to pay contingent consideration to the sellers upon the acquired business achieving certain earnings targets over periods ranging from two to four years following the acquisition. In general, the contingent consideration amounts fall into two categories: (a) Deferred Consideration - fixed amounts due if the acquisition achieves a base level of earnings which has been determined at the time of acquisition and (b) Earnouts – amounts payable that are not fixed and are based on the growth in excess of the base level earnings. The Company’s outstanding Deferred Consideration obligations, which relate to various acquisitions, could result in the following maximum payments:
 

Year Ending

 

Amount

January 2, 2010

 

$100

January 1, 2011

 

2,300

December 31, 2011

 

1,300

   

$3,700

The Company cannot estimate the Deferred Consideration payments for the years ended January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011 with any certainty. Earnouts, if any, cannot be estimated with any certainty. The Deferred Consideration and Earnouts, when paid, will be recorded as additional purchase consideration and added to goodwill on the consolidated balance sheet.

NuSoft Solutions, Inc.

On March 19, 2008 the Company purchased the operating assets of NuSoft Solutions, Inc. (“NuSoft”). NuSoft is a specialty provider of information technology services. The acquisition was effective as of March 1, 2008. The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 “Business Combinations.” Accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired company have been included in the consolidated results of operations of the Company from the effective date and are included in the Information Technology segment.

Additional earn-out payments may be made at the end of each of the three 12-month periods following the purchase, to the extent that operating income exceeds these base levels. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The source of cash utilized in the NuSoft acquisition was from the Company's revolving credit facility. The purchase price paid at closing of $8.2 million has been allocated as follows:

Customer relationships

$2,260

Covenants-not-to-compete

MBH Solutions, Inc.

On April 28, 2008 the Company purchased the operating assets of MBH Solutions, Inc. (“MBH”). MBH is a specialty provider of information technology services. The acquisition was effective as of April 1, 2008 and has been accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 “Business Combinations.” Accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired company have been included in the consolidated results of operations of the Company from the effective date and are included in the Information Technology segment.

The MBH purchase consideration at closing consisted of $1.8 million in cash and assumption of $1.3 million in certain liabilities and potential Deferred Consideration payments up to $1.5 million contingent upon MBH achieving certain base levels of operating income for each of the three 12-month periods following the purchase. Additional earn-out payments may be made at the end of each of the three 12-month periods following the purchase, to the extent that operating income exceeds these base levels.

The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The source of cash utilized in the MBH acquisition was from the Company’s revolving credit facility. The purchase price paid at closing of $3.1 million has been allocated as follows:

6.     Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated on the straight-line method at rates calculated to provide for retirement of assets at the end of their estimated useful lives. The annual rates are 20% for computer hardware and software as well as furniture and office equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term.
 

7.     New Accounting Standards

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”). This statement replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141R requires costs incurred to effect the acquisition to be recognized separately from the acquisition as period costs. SFAS No. 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize restructuring costs that the acquirer expects to incur, but is not obligated to incur, separately from the business combination. In addition, SFAS No. 141R requires an acquirer to recognize assets and liabilities assumed arising from contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Other key provisions of this statement include the requirement to recognize the acquisition-date fair values of research and development assets separately from goodwill and the requirement to recognize changes in the amount of deferred tax benefits that are recognizable due to the business combination in either income from continuing operations in the period of the combination or directly in contributed capital, depending on the circumstances. The Company adopted SFAS 141R as of the required effective date and will apply its provisions prospectively to business combinations that occur after adoption.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141R-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies,” (FSP FAS 141(R)-1), which amends and clarifies SFAS No. 141R. FSP FAS 141R-1 requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated. If fair value cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would generally be recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” and FASB Interpretation No. 14, “Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss.” Further, the FASB decided to remove the subsequent accounting guidance for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies from SFAS 141R, and carry forward without significant revision the guidance in SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” FSP FAS 141R-1 is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

7.      New Accounting Standards (Continued)

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This FSP became effective for the interim period ending July 27, 2009 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On June 29, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 168, The “FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. Statement 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“Codification”) to become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. Statement 168 and the Codification are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
 
When effective, the Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. Following Statement 168, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve only to: (a) update the Codification; (b) provide background information about the guidance; and (c) provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification.
 

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No. 165”). The objective of SFAS No. 165 is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, SFAS No. 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about the events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. We adopted SFAS No. 165 effective June 27, 2009, which was the required effective date. We evaluated our June 27, 2009 financial statements for subsequent events through August 11, 2009, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. We are not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, except for the disclosure of the acquisition of PSG as described in footnote 16.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”)
No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Indentifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market when an asset or liability is not being actively traded or the transaction is not orderly. We adopted FSP 157-4 effective April 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a significant effect on our financial statements.

8.      Line of Credit

The Company and its subsidiaries are party to a loan agreement with Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, amended and restated effective February 20, 2009, which provides for a $15 million revolving credit facility and includes a sub-limit of $5.0 million for letters of credit (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at one of two alternative rates, as selected by the Company at each incremental borrowing. These alternatives are: (i) LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), plus applicable margin, or (ii) the agent bank's prime rate. The Company also pays unused line fees based on the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility that is not drawn.

All borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are collateralized by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and a pledge of the stock of its subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains various financial and non-financial covenants, such as restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay dividends. The Revolving Credit Facility expires in August 2011.

The weighted average interest rates under the Revolving Credit Facility for the twenty-six week periods ended June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008 were 2.2% and 4.1%, respectively. The majority of borrowings in 2008 and 2009 were subject to alternative (i) LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), plus applicable margin on contracts of 30 days or more. During the twenty-six week periods ended June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008, the Company’s outstanding borrowings ranged from $-0- to $4.9 million and $-0- to $10.0 million, respectively. At June 27, 2009 and December 27, 2008, there were borrowings of $0 and $4.9 million outstanding under this facility, respectively. At June 27, 2009 and December 27, 2008, there were letters of credit outstanding for $1.6 million. At June 27, 2009, the Company had availability for additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility of $13.4 million.

9.     Goodwill and Intangibles

SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”), requires the Company to perform a goodwill impairment test on at least an annual basis. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which are dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the businesses, the useful life over which cash flows will occur and determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions on goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment test as of November 30. The Company compares the fair value of each of its reporting units to their respective carrying values, including related goodwill. There were no triggering events during the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 that have indicated a need to perform the impairment test prior to the Company's annual test date.
 

There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 which is summarized as follows:

12.     Share - Based Compensation

At June 27, 2009, the Company had five share-based employee compensation plans. The Company measures the fair value of stock options, if and when granted, based upon the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Grants vest over periods ranging from one to three years and expire within 10 years of issuance. Stock options that vest in accordance with service conditions amortize over their applicable vesting period using the straight-line method.

12.     Share - Based Compensation (Continued)

The Company recognizes compensation costs in the financial statements for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment, revised 2004" ("SFAS No. 123R"). Compensation cost recognized in 2009 and 2008 included: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, and (b) compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), adjusted for estimated forfeitures. The straight-line recognition method is used to recognize compensation expense associated with share-based payments that are subject to graded vesting based on service conditions.

Share-based compensation expense of $34, or $0.00 per diluted share, and $197, or $0.02 per diluted share, was recognized for the twenty-six week periods ended June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008, respectively.
 
The Company anticipates that share-based compensation will not exceed $99
for the year ending December 26, 2009 based on existing options as of June 27, 2009.

The weighted average fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model during the twenty-six week periods ended June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008 has been estimated using the following assumptions:

Incentive Stock Option Plans (Continued)

1992 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the 1992 Plan)

The 1992 Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders in April 1992 and amended in April 1998, provided for the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of common stock per individual to officers, directors, and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries through February 13, 2002, at which time the 1992 Plan expired. The options issued were intended to be incentive stock options pursuant to Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code. The option terms were not permitted to exceed 10 years and the exercise price was not permitted to be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares at the time of grant. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determined the vesting period at the time of grant for each of these options. As of June 27, 2009, options to purchase 60,455 shares of common stock granted under the 1992 Plan were outstanding.

1994 Non-employee Directors Stock Option Plan (the 1994 Plan)

Options granted under the 1994 Plan were granted at fair market value at the date of grant, and the exercise of options is contingent upon service as a director for a period of one year. Options granted under the 1994 Plan terminate when an optionee ceases to be a director of the Company.

Options are generally granted at fair market value at the date of grant. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines the vesting period at the time of grant. As of June 27, 2009, options to purchase 679,545 shares of common stock granted under the 1996 Plan were outstanding.
 

2000 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the 2000 Plan)

No more than 350,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate may be issued pursuant to grants of stock awards, stock units, performance shares and other stock-based awards. No more than 300,000 shares of common stock with respect to awards may be granted to any individual during any fiscal year. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines the vesting period at the time of grant. As of June 27, 2009, 672,600 shares of common stock were available for future grants under the 2007 Plan, and options to purchase 27,400 shares of common stock granted under the 2007 Plan were outstanding.

As of June 27, 2009, the Company had approximately $73.1 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted under the Company’s various share-based plans, which the Company expects to recognize over approximately a three-year period. These amounts do not include the cost of any additional options that may be granted in future periods or reflect any potential changes in the Company’s forfeiture rate.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company implemented the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) with shareholder approval, effective January 1, 2001. Under the Purchase Plan, employees meeting certain specific employment qualifications are eligible to participate and can purchase shares of common stock semi-annually through payroll deductions at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the stock at the commencement or end of the offering period. The purchase plan permits eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock through payroll deductions for up to 10% of qualified compensation. During the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009, there were 39,496 shares issued under the Purchase Plan for net proceeds of $37. On June 30, 2009, the Company issued 47,256 shares under the Purchase Plan for net proceeds of $46. On June 18, 2009, our stockholders approved amendments to the Purchase Plan to (i) increase by 300,000 (from 500,000 shares to 800,000 shares) the total number of shares of common stock authorized for purchase under the Purchase Plan; (ii) extend the term of the Purchase Plan by an additional ten years from January 1, 2009, so that the Purchase Plan will terminate on December 31, 2018; and (iii) provide for the automatic adjustment in the shares authorized for issuance under the Purchase Plan if there are certain changes in our capitalization that affect the shares of common stock. As of July 1, 2009, there were 394,536 shares available for issuance under the Purchase Plan. Compensation expense for the Purchase Plan for the periods ended June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008 was $18 and $20, respectively.

14.    Legal Settlement

In late 1998, two shareholders who were formerly officers and directors of the Company filed suit against the Company. The former officers and directors alleged that the Company wrongfully limited the number of shares of the Company's common stock that could have been sold by the plaintiffs under a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with an acquisition transaction pursuant to which the plaintiffs became shareholders of the Company.
 
A trial in 2002 resulted in a judgment in favor of the plaintiffs for $7.6 million that was affirmed on appeal. In June 2006, the Company paid $8.6 million, which included post-judgment interest and other items totaling $1.0 million to the plaintiffs to satisfy the judgment.

14.    Legal Settlement (Continued)

In November 2002, the Company filed suit on professional liability claims against the attorneys and law firms who had served as its counsel in the acquisition transaction and in connection with its subsequent dealings with the plaintiffs concerning their various relationships with the Company resulting from that transaction. In its lawsuit against its former counsel, the Company was seeking complete indemnification with respect to (1) its costs and counsel fees incurred in the defense against the claims of the plaintiffs; (2) the amount it paid to satisfy the judgment; and (3) its costs and counsel fees incurred in the prosecution of the legal malpractice action itself. In February 2007, the Company reached a settlement with one of the law firm defendants resulting in the recovery of $0.8 million. On March 16, 2009 the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants in this lawsuit. The Company received $9.8 million on March 27, 2009.

15.    Contingencies

The Company is party to two agreements of indemnity related to the performance of two construction projects. One of these construction projects is managed by a former customer of the Company and management of the Company believes this project will be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2009.  The second of these construction projects was managed by the same customer prior to November 2008 when the initial contract was transferred to the Company.  The Company now acts as the general contractor on this construction project.  The contract price is approximately $6.2 million and management of the Company estimates it was approximately 88% complete as of June 27, 2009.  The Company believes this project will be finished by the fourth quarter of 2009.  In the event of non-performance on either construction project, the Company may be obligated to indemnify the project owners for certain cost overruns on such projects.  Management believes that any such cost overruns would not have a significant adverse financial impact to the financial position of the Company and its results of operations.

From time to time, the Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions which arise in the normal course of business.  As such the Company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of losses and possible recoveries.  A determination of the amount of the provision required for these commitments and contingencies, if any, which would be charged to earnings, is made after careful analysis of each matter.  Once established, a provision may change in the future due to new developments or changes in circumstances, and could increase or decrease the Company’s earnings in the period that the changes are made.  The Company has accrued a provision for losses aggregating approximately $0.4 million as of June 27, 2009 and December 27, 2008, respectively.  Asserted claims in these matters approximate $5.4 million at June 27, 2009.  The Company may or may not be covered by insurance as it pertains to some or all of these matters.

16.    Subsequent Events

On July 7, 2009, the Company acquired the operating assets of Project Solutions Group, Inc. ("PSG"), a Delaware corporation. PSG is a specialty provider of information technology services. The acquisition of PSG was completed in order to expand the Company’s solutions services within the Information Technology business segment. The PSG purchase consideration at closing consisted of $0.8 million in cash and 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Additional contingent payments may be made at the end of each of the first four twelve-month periods following the purchase, to the extent earned.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)

Overview

RCM participates in a market that is cyclical in nature and extremely sensitive to economic changes. As a result, the impact of economic changes on revenues and operations can be substantial, resulting in significant volatility in the Company’s financial performance.

After normalizing for 2008 acquisitions, the Company experienced a significant decline in revenues during the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The Company attributes this decline to overall economic conditions in its geographic markets and industry verticals, particularly in its Information Technology and Commercial Services segments.

The Company believes it has developed and assembled an attractive portfolio of capabilities, established a proven record of performance and credibility and built an efficient pricing structure. The Company is committed to optimizing its business model as a single-source premier provider of business and technology solutions with a strong vertical focus offering an integrated suite of services through a global delivery platform.

The Company believes that most companies recognize the importance of advanced technologies and business processes to compete in today’s business climate. However, the process of designing, developing and implementing business and technology solutions is becoming increasingly complex. The Company believes that many businesses today are focused on return on investment analysis in prioritizing their initiatives. This has had an adverse impact on spending by current and prospective clients for many emerging new solutions.

Nonetheless, the Company continues to believe that businesses must implement more advanced information technology and engineering solutions to upgrade their systems, applications and processes so that they can maximize their productivity and optimize their performance in order to maintain a competitive advantage. Although working under budgetary, personnel and expertise constraints, companies are driven to support increasingly complex systems, applications and processes of significant strategic value. This has given rise to a demand for outsourcing. The Company believes that its current and prospective clients are continuing to evaluate the potential for outsourcing business critical systems, applications and processes.

The Company provides project management and consulting services, which are billed based on either agreed-upon fixed fees or hourly rates, or a combination of both. The billing rates and profit margins for project management and solutions services are generally higher than those for professional consulting services. The Company generally endeavors to expand its sales of higher margin solutions and project management services. The Company also realizes revenues from client engagements that range from the placement of contract and temporary technical consultants to project assignments that entail the delivery of end-to-end solutions. These services are primarily provided to the client at hourly rates that are established for each of the Company's consultants based upon their skill level, experience and the type of work performed.

RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)

Overview (Continued)

The majority of the Company's services are provided under purchase orders. Contracts are utilized on certain of the more complex assignments where the engagements are for longer terms or where precise documentation on the nature and scope of the assignment is necessary. Although contracts normally relate to longer-term and more complex engagements, they do not obligate the customer to purchase a minimum level of services and are generally terminable by the customer on 60 to 90 days’ notice. The Company, from time to time, enters into contracts requiring the completion of specific deliverables. Typically these contracts are for less than one year.  The Company recognizes revenue on these deliverables at the time the client accepts and approves the deliverables.

Costs of services consist primarily of salaries and compensation-related expenses for billable consultants, including payroll taxes, employee benefits and insurance. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits of personnel responsible for business development, recruiting, operating activities, and training, and include corporate overhead expenses. Corporate overhead expenses relate to salaries and benefits of personnel responsible for corporate activities, including the Company's corporate marketing, administrative and financial reporting responsibilities and acquisition program. The Company records these expenses when incurred.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make subjective decisions, assessments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the judgment increases, such judgments become even more subjective. While management believes its assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, actual results may be materially different from estimated. Management has identified certain critical accounting policies, described below, that require significant judgment to be exercised by management.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenues from several sources. All of the Company’s segments perform consulting and staffing services. The Company’s Engineering Services and Information Technology Services segments also perform project services. All of the Company’s segments derive revenue from permanent placement fees.
 

Project Services - The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” ("SAB 104") which clarifies application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to revenue transactions. Project services are generally provided on a cost-plus-fixed-fee or time-and-material basis. Typically, a customer will outsource a discrete project or activity and the Company assumes responsibility for the performance of such project or activity. The Company recognizes revenues and associated costs on a gross basis as services are provided to the customer and costs are incurred using its employees. The Company, from time to time, enters into contracts requiring the completion of specific deliverables.  The Company recognizes revenue on these deliverables at the time the client accepts and approves the deliverables. In instances where project services are provided on a fixed-price basis and the contract will extend beyond a 12-month period, revenue is recorded in accordance with the terms of each contract. In some instances, revenue is billed and recorded at the time certain milestones are reached, as defined in the contract. In other instances, revenue is billed and recorded based upon contractual rates per hour. In addition, some contracts contain “Performance Fees” (bonuses) for completing a contract under budget. Performance Fees, if any, are recorded when the contract is completed and the revenue is reasonably certain of collection. Some contracts also limit revenues and billings to maximum amounts. Provision for contract losses, if any, is made in the period such losses are determined. For contracts where there are multiple deliverables and the work has not been 100% complete on a specific deliverable, the costs have been deferred. The associated costs are expensed when the related revenue is recognized.

24


RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition (Continued)

Consulting and Staffing Services - Revenues derived from consulting and staffing services are recorded on a gross basis as services are performed and associated costs have been incurred using employees of the Company. In these circumstances, the Company assumes the risk of acceptability of its employees to its customers. In certain cases, the Company may utilize other companies and their employees to fulfill customer requirements. In these cases, the Company receives an administrative fee for arranging for, billing for, and collecting the billings related to these companies. The customer is typically responsible for assessing the work of these companies who have responsibility for acceptability of their personnel to the customer. Under these circumstances, the Company’s reported revenues are net of associated costs (effectively recognizing the net administrative fee only).

Permanent Placement Services - The Company earns permanent placement fees from providing permanent placement services. Fees for placements are recognized at the time the candidate commences employment. The Company guarantees its permanent placements on a prorated basis for 90 days. In the event a candidate is not retained for the 90-day period, the Company will provide a suitable replacement candidate. In the event a replacement candidate cannot be located, the Company will provide a prorated refund to the client. An allowance for refunds, based upon the Company’s historical experience, is recorded in the financial statements. Revenues are recorded on a gross basis as a component of revenue.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable are primarily due from trade customers. Credit is extended based on evaluation of customers’ financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable payment terms vary and are stated in the financial statements at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets we have acquired in business combinations. SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”) requires the Company to perform a goodwill and intangible asset impairment test on at least an annual basis. Application of the goodwill and intangible asset impairment test requires significant judgments including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the businesses, the useful life over which cash flows will occur and determination of our weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions on goodwill and intangible asset impairment for each reporting unit. The Company conducts its annual goodwill and intangible asset impairment test as of the last day of the Company’s fiscal November each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. We periodically analyze whether any such indicators of impairment exist. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include a sustained, significant decline in our share price and market capitalization, a decline in our expected future cash flows, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, unanticipated competition and/or slower expected growth rates, among others. The Company compares the fair value of each of its reporting units to their respective carrying values, including related goodwill and intangible assets. There were no triggering events during the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 that have indicated a need to perform the impairment test prior to the Company's annual test date. Goodwill was $6.5 million at June 27, 2009 and December 27, 2008.

25


RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When it is probable that undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset’s carrying amount, the asset is written down to its fair value. Assets to be disposed of by sale, if any, are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Accounting for Stock Options

The Company uses stock options to attract, retain and reward employees for long-term service.

The Company follows SFAS No. 123R “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No. 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to stock-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. This compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123R covers a wide range of stock-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights and employee stock purchase plans.

Accounting for Income Taxes

In establishing the provision for income taxes and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the Company makes judgments and interpretations based on enacted tax laws, published tax guidance and estimates of future earnings. As of June 27, 2009, the Company had total net deferred income tax assets of $4.2 million, primarily representing the tax effect of temporary differences for the GAAP versus tax amortization of acquisitions made in prior periods. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the likelihood that future taxable income will be sufficient to realize these benefits over time, and the effectiveness of tax planning strategies in the relevant tax jurisdictions. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates and assessments, valuation allowances may be required.
 
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. The Company recognized no material adjustments in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits due to the adoption of FIN 48. The Company conducts its operations in multiple tax jurisdictions in the United States and Canada. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to audits by state and local tax authorities for tax years prior to 2004. The Company’s federal income tax returns have been examined through 2007. As of June 27, 2009, the Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions.

26


RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)

Accounting for Income Taxes (Continued)

The Company’s future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by changes in the valuation of its deferred tax assets or liabilities or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. In addition, the Company is subject to the examination of its income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes.

 

Accrued Bonuses

The Company pays bonuses to certain executive management, field management and corporate employees based on, or after giving consideration to, a variety of financial performance measures. Executive management, field management and certain corporate employees’ bonuses are accrued throughout the year for payment during the first quarter of the following year, based in part upon anticipated annual results compared to annual budgets. In addition, the Company pays discretionary bonuses to certain employees, which are not related to budget performance. Variances in actual results versus budgeted amounts can have a significant impact on the calculations and therefore on the estimates of the required accruals. Accordingly, the actual earned bonuses may be materially different from the estimates used to determine the quarterly accruals.

Forward-looking Information

The Company’s growth prospects are influenced by broad economic trends. The pace of customer capital spending programs, new product launches and similar activities have a direct impact on the need for consulting and engineering services as well as temporary and permanent employees. When the U.S. and Canadian economies decline, the Company’s operating performance could be adversely impacted. The Company believes that its fiscal discipline, strategic focus on targeted vertical markets and diversification of service offerings provides some insulation from adverse trends. However, declines in the economy could result in the need for future cost reductions or changes in strategy.
 

Additionally, changes in government regulations could result in prohibition or restriction of certain types of employment services or the imposition of new or additional employee benefits, licensing or tax requirements with respect to the provision of employment services that may reduce RCM’s future earnings. There can be no assurance that RCM will be able to increase the fees charged to its clients in a timely manner and in a sufficient amount to cover increased costs as a result of any of the foregoing.
 
The employment services market is highly competitive with limited barriers to entry. RCM competes in global, national, regional and local markets with numerous consulting, engineering and employment companies. Price competition in the industries the Company serves is significant, and pricing pressures from competitors and customers are increasing. RCM expects that the level of competition will remain high in the future, which could limit RCM’s ability to maintain or increase its market share or profitability.

The Company follows a 52/53 week fiscal reporting calendar ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. A 53-week year occurs periodically. The year to date reporting periods ended June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008 consisted of thirteen weeks each.

Revenues. Revenues decreased 14.2%, or $7.8 million, for the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to the same period in the prior year (the “comparable prior year period”). Revenues decreased $6.2 million in the Information Technology segment, increased $1.2 million in the Engineering segment, and decreased $2.8 million in the Commercial segment. Management attributes the overall decrease to a weakening of the general economy. The Company completed two acquisitions in its Information Technology segment in 2008 prior to the start of the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2008. Management expects revenues for the remainder of fiscal 2009 to remain generally consistent with the revenues for the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2009.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)

Thirteen Week Period Ended June 27, 2009 Compared to Thirteen Week Period Ended June 28, 2008 - (Continued)

Cost of Services. Cost of services decreased 10.6%, or $4.2 million, for the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease in cost of services was primarily due to the overall decrease in revenues. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues increased to 75.5% for the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2009 from 72.5% for the comparable prior year period. This increase was primarily due to increased unbilled labor costs for consultants and softness in pricing in our Information Technology segment. Management anticipates the ratio of cost of sales to revenues for the remainder of fiscal 2009 to remain comparable to that in the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2009.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative (“SGA”) expenses decreased 9.3%, or $1.1 million, for the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to the comparable prior year period.  The decrease in SGA expenses is primarily due to a reduction in selling costs (primarily commissions and salaries paid to salespersons) associated with an overall decrease in revenues.  As a percentage of revenues, SGA expenses were 23.3% for the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to 22.1% for the comparable prior year period.  The increase in SGA expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to decreased revenues overall.  Management expects SGA expenses for the remainder of fiscal 2009 to remain generally consistent with the SGA expenses for the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2009.

Bad Debt - Note Receivable. On February 26, 2008, the Company accepted a promissory note from a customer for $7.4 million in payment of a like amount of accounts receivable from that customer. The customer paid $1.3 million through April 30, 2008 at which point management of the Company concluded that the customer was going to default on its May 1, 2008 installment payment. During the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2008, the Company determined that the note receivable was not collectible and reserved for the note. During the thirteen week period ended September 27, 2008, the Company wrote-off the note receivable.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $0.4 million for the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to $0.6 million for the comparable prior year period.
 

Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) consists of interest expense, net of interest income and gains and losses on foreign currency transactions. For the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2009, other income (expense) was positive $0.1 million as compared to negative $0.1 million in the comparable prior year period. This change was primarily due to more favorable foreign currency changes.

Income Tax. Income tax benefit was $0.0 million for the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to an income tax expense of $0.9 million in the comparable prior year period. The change was principally attributable to a decrease in income before taxes. The effective tax rate was a benefit of 17.1% for the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to an expense of 39.4% in the comparable prior year period. The effective income tax benefit for the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2009 was primarily due to an adjustment for an overaccrual in a prior period.

Segment Discussion (See Footnote 13)

Information Technology
 
Information Technology revenues of $21.8 million in 2009 decreased $6.2 million, or 22.1%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a weakening of the general economy and reduced demand for the Company's Information Technology services. The Information Technology segment operating loss was $1.0 million as compared to operating income of $0.6 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to weakness in overall demand for information technology services and increased unbilled labor costs for consultants.

Engineering

Engineering revenues of $15.3 million in 2009 increased $1.2 million, or 8.8%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to increases in revenues from several major customers as compared to the comparable prior year period. The Engineering segment operating income was $0.7 million as compared to $0.8 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to a higher allocation of corporate selling, general and administrative costs as compared to the comparable prior year period.

Commercial

Commercial revenues of $10.1 million in 2009 decreased $2.8 million, or 22.0%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease in revenues was principally attributable to decreased demand for the Company’s light industrial and clerical staffing services. The Commercial segment operating income was $0.5 million as compared to $1.0 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the decrease in revenues.

The Company follows a 52/53 week fiscal reporting calendar ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. A 53-week year occurs periodically. The year to date reporting periods ended June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008 consisted of twenty-six weeks each.

Revenues. Revenues decreased 8.5%, or $8.9 million, for the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to the same period in the prior year (the “comparable prior year period”). Revenues decreased $5.7 million in the Information Technology segment, increased $2.1 million in the Engineering segment, and decreased $5.2 million in the Commercial segment. Management attributes the overall decrease to a weakening of the general economy offset by revenues from acquisitions made in 2008 (see Segment Discussion for further detail). Revenues that were attributable to acquisitions which occurred in the Information Technology segment in 2008 contributed $11.1 million in the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to $8.6 million in the comparable prior year period. Management expects revenues for the remainder of fiscal 2009 to remain generally consistent with the revenues for the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)

Twenty-Six Week Period Ended June 27, 2009 Compared to Twenty-Six Week Period Ended June 28, 2008 - (Continued)

Cost of Services. Cost of services decreased 5.1%, or $3.9 million, for the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease in cost of services was primarily due to the overall decrease in revenues. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues increased to 76.4% for the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 from 73.6% for the comparable prior year period. This increase was primarily due to increased unbilled labor costs for consultants (i.e., a decrease in utilization of billable resources) and softness in pricing in our Information Technology segment. Management anticipates the ratio of cost of sales to revenues for the remainder of fiscal 2009 to remain comparable to that in the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative (“SGA”) expenses decreased 2.7%, or $0.6 million, for the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to the comparable prior year period.  The decrease in SGA expenses was primarily due to a reduction in selling costs (primarily commissions and salaries paid to salespersons) associated with an overall decrease in revenues offset by additional SGA expenses incurred in connection with two acquisitions subsequent to February 28, 2008.  SGA expenses that were attributable to acquisitions which occurred in the Information Technology segment in 2008 contributed $2.9 million in the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to $1.8 million in the comparable prior year period.  As a percentage of revenues, SGA expenses were 23.1% for the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to 21.7% for the comparable prior year period.  The increase as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to the overall decrease in revenues.

Bad Debt - Note Receivable. On February 26, 2008, the Company accepted a promissory note from a customer for $7.5 million in payment of a like amount of accounts receivable from that customer. The customer paid $1.2 million through April 30, 2008 at which point management of the Company concluded that the customer was going to default on its May 1, 2008 installment payment. During the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2008, the Company determined that the note receivable was not collectible and reserved for the note. During the twenty-six week period ended September 27, 2008, the Company wrote-off the note receivable.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased 13.6%, or $0.1 million, for the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to the comparable prior year period.
 

Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) consists of interest expense, net of interest income and gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and, in 2009, the proceeds from a legal settlement. Other income (expense) increased by $9.8 million due primarily to proceeds from a legal settlement in 2009 (see footnote 14 to the consolidated financial statements).

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)

Twenty-Six Week Period Ended June 27, 2009 Compared to Twenty-Six Week Period Ended June 28, 2008 - (Continued)

Income Tax. Income tax expense was $3.7 million for the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to an income tax benefit of $1.0 million in the comparable prior year period. The change was principally attributable to an increase in income before taxes, which included a $9.8 million legal settlement in the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 and a $6.1 million bad debt expense on a note receivable for the comparable prior year period. The effective tax rate was 38.9% for the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to a credit of 45.0% in the comparable prior year period. The comparable prior year period effective tax rate was higher due to permanent GAAP to tax differences existing in the comparable prior year period.

Segment Discussion (See Footnote 13)

Information Technology
 
Information Technology revenues of $44.7 million in 2009 decreased $5.7 million, or 11.3%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a weakening of the general economy and reduced demand for the Company's Information Technology services offset by acquisitions in 2008. The Information Technology segment operating loss was $2.0 million as compared to operating income of $0.9 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to weakness in overall demand for information technology services and increased unbilled labor costs for consultants.

Engineering

Engineering revenues of $30.2 million in 2009 increased $2.1 million, or 7.4%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to increases in revenues from several major customers as compared to the comparable prior year period. The Engineering segment operating income was $0.9 million as compared to an operating loss of $4.8 million for the comparable prior year period. The comparable prior year period operating income was $1.2 million before bad debt-note receivable. The decrease in operating income before bad debt-note receivable was primarily due to a higher allocation of corporate selling, general and administrative costs as compared to the comparable prior year period.

Commercial

Commercial revenues of $20.4 million in 2009 decreased $5.2 million, or 20.4%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease in revenues was principally attributable to decreased demand for the Company’s light industrial and clerical staffing services. The Commercial segment operating income was $0.7 million as compared to $1.8 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the decrease in revenues.

Operating Activities

Operating activities provided $13.6 million of cash for the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to using $8.7 million in the comparable prior year period. The change in cash provided by (used in) operating activities in 2009 was primarily attributable to net income of $5.8 million, decreases in accounts receivable and deferred income tax assets, offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and accrued payroll and related costs.

Investing Activities

Investing activities used $0.5 million for the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 2009 as compared to $8.7 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in the use of cash for investing activities for 2009 as compared to the comparable 2008 period was primarily attributable to the fact that no acquisitions were made in 2009 and to decreases in expenditures for property and equipment.

Financing Activities

In 2009, financing activities consisted of reducing debt by $4.9 million. In 2008, financing activities principally consisted of borrowing $6.3 million from the line of credit to finance acquisitions (See footnote 5 to the financial statements) and the balance was used to fund working capital requirements.
 

The Company and its subsidiaries are party to a loan agreement with Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, amended and restated effective February 20, 2009, which provides for a $15 million revolving credit facility and includes a sub-limit of $5.0 million for letters of credit (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at one of two alternative rates, as selected by the Company at each incremental borrowing. These alternatives are: (i) LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), plus applicable margin, or (ii) the agent bank's prime rate. The Company also pays unused line fees based on the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility that is not drawn.

All borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are collateralized by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and a pledge of the stock of its subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains various financial and non-financial covenants, such as restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay dividends. The Revolving Credit Facility expires in August 2011.

34


RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)

Liquidity and Capital Resources - (Continued)
 

Financing Activities - (Continued)

The weighted average interest rates under the Revolving Credit Facility for the twenty-six week periods ended June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008 were 2.2% and 4.1%, respectively. The majority of borrowings in 2009 and 2008 were subject to alternative (i) LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), plus applicable margin on contracts of 30 days or more. During the twenty-six week periods ended June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008, the Company’s outstanding borrowings ranged from $-0- to $4.9 million and $-0- million to $10.0 million, respectively. At June 27, 2009 and December 27, 2008, there were borrowings of $0 million and $4.9 outstanding under this facility, respectively. At June 27, 2009 and December 27, 2008, there were letters of credit outstanding for $1.6 million. At June 27, 2009, the Company had availability for additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility of $13.4 million.

The Company anticipates that its primary uses of capital in future periods will be for working capital purposes. Funding for any long-term and short-term capital requirements as well as future acquisitions will be derived from one or more of the Revolving Credit Facility, funds generated through operations or future financing transactions. The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, which may or may not be covered by insurance. Were an unfavorable final outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our financial position, liquidity, and the results of operations for the period in which the effect becomes reasonably estimable.

The Company's business strategy is to achieve growth both internally through operations and externally through strategic acquisitions. The Company from time to time engages in discussions with potential acquisition candidates. As the size of the Company and its financial resources increase however, acquisition opportunities requiring significant commitments of capital may arise. In order to pursue such opportunities, the Company may be required to incur debt or issue potentially dilutive securities in the future. No assurance can be given as to the Company’s future acquisition and expansion opportunities or how such opportunities will be financed.

The Company does not currently have material commitments for capital expenditures and does not currently anticipate entering into any such commitments during the next 12 months. The Company's current commitments consist primarily of lease obligations for office space. The Company believes that its capital resources are sufficient to meet its present obligations and those to be incurred in the normal course of business for the next 12 months.

At June 27, 2009, the Company had a deferred tax asset totaling $4.2 million, primarily representing the tax effect of temporary differences for GAAP versus tax amortization of acquisitions made in prior periods.
 

On July 7, 2009, the Company acquired the operating assets of Project Solutions Group, Inc. ("PSG"), a Delaware corporation. The PSG purchase consideration at closing consisted of $0.8 million in cash and 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Additional contingent payments may be made at the end of each of the first four twelve-month periods following the purchase, to the extent earned. The Company financed the cash portion of the purchase price at closing using cash on hand.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s investment portfolio and debt instruments, which primarily consist of its Revolving Credit Facility. The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments in its portfolio. The Company places its investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards. The Company is adverse to principal loss and ensures the safety and preservation of its invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. As of June 27, 2009, the Company’s investments consisted of cash and money market funds. The Company does not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate changes. Presently the impact of a 1.0% (100 basis points) increase in interest rates on its variable debt (using an incremental borrowing rate) would have a relatively nominal impact on the Company’s results of operations. The Company does not expect any material loss with respect to its investment portfolio.
 

ITEM 4.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that those disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
 
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter and that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
