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 January 1, 2011 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.

Results for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year.

In March 2010, the Company closed its Oracle business unit located in southern California. The closed business unit sold Oracle software applications and provided implementation, hosting and maintenance services for the suite of Oracle and related software applications. In September 2010, the Company sold its light industrial and clerical staffing business located in southern California and doing business under the name Intertec. See Note 15 “Discontinued Operations” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for further details of these discontinued operations. Such businesses have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

2.	Fiscal Year

The Company follows a 52/53 week fiscal reporting calendar ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. The fiscal year ended January 1, 2011 was a 52-week reporting year. The second fiscal quarters of 2011 and 2010 ended on the following dates, respectively:

Period Ended	Weeks in Quarter	Weeks in Year to Date
July 2, 2011	Thirteen	Twenty-Six
July 3, 2010	Thirteen	Twenty-Six

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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s carrying value of financial instruments, consisting primarily of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to their liquidity or their short-term nature. 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.	Accounts Receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable are comprised as follows:

	July 2, 2011		January 1, 2011
Billed	$32,428		$31,265
Accrued and unbilled	2,191		3,381
Work-in-progress	9,800		7,858
Allowance for doubtful accounts and sales discounts	(1,257	)	(1,291	)

Accounts receivable, net	$43,162		$41,213

The Company entered into an agreement to provide among other things construction management services. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company: a) engaged subcontractors to provide construction services; b) earns a fixed percentage of the fee and c) assumes no ownership or risks of inventory, therefore substantially acts as an agent. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is not required to pay the subcontractor until a corresponding payment from the Company’s client is received. Such pass-through amounts as of July 2, 2011 are not material.

5.	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.

5.	Property and Equipment (Continued)

Property and equipment are comprised of the following:

	July 2,	January 1,
	2011	2011
Equipment and furniture	$2,682	$2,734
Computers and systems	5,615	5,869
Leasehold improvements	1,036	1,064
	9,333	9,667

Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization	6,408	6,372

Property and equipment, net	$2,925	$3,295

The Company periodically writes off fully depreciated assets. The company wrote off fully depreciated assets of $491 and $955 for the twenty-six week periods ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, respectively.

6.	Acquisitions

General

The Company has acquired numerous companies throughout its history and those acquisitions have generally included significant contingent consideration. In general, the future contingent consideration amounts have fallen into one of 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.

Future Contingent Consideration

The Company has one active acquisition agreement relating to the acquisition of the assets of Project Solutions Group, Inc. (“PSG”) in 2009 whereby future contingent consideration may be earned and paid. The Company, at the time of the PSG acquisition, determined that the estimated net present fair value of the total future contingent consideration (Deferred Consideration and Earnouts) associated with the PSG acquisition was approximately $0.4 million. The amount actually paid, if any, may substantially exceed the estimated net present fair value.

The Company’s outstanding Deferred Consideration obligations potentially due after July 2, 2011, which relate to the PSG acquisition, could result in the following maximum Deferred Consideration payments:

Year Ending		Amount
December 31, 2011		$144
December 29, 2012		164
December 28, 2013		184
Maximum deferred consideration		$492

The Company cannot predict future Deferred Consideration payments with any certainty. Earnouts, if any, cannot be estimated with any certainty and as such are not included above. Any Earnouts paid, if any, are not likely to be material. The Company’s estimate of the fair value of the total future contingent consideration to be paid to PSG is $366 at January 1, 2011 and July 2, 2011.

RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Goodwill

The Company is required 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 the last day of the Company's fiscal November each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. 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 July 2, 2011 that indicated a need to perform the impairment test prior to the Company's annual test date.

8.	Intangible 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 the Company determines that 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.

The following table reflects the components of intangible assets, excluding goodwill:

9.	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”). The Revolving Credit Facility was amended on July 21, 2011 to extend the maturity date to October 31, 2011. 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 October 31, 2011. The Company intends to seek to extend or replace the Revolving Credit Facility prior to such time if it is determined that doing so would be in alignment with the Company’s financing needs.

There were no borrowings during the twenty-six week periods ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010. At July 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011, there were letters of credit outstanding for $0.9 million. At July 2, 2011, the Company had availability for additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility of $14.1 million.

10.	Share Data

Both basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods are calculated based on the reported earnings in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

The number of common shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010 was determined as follows:

	Thirteen Week Periods Ended		Twenty-Six Week Periods Ended
	July 2, 2011	July 3, 2010	July 2, 2011	July 3, 2010

Basic weighted average shares outstanding	13,059,595	12,984,539	13,072,042	12,991,859
Dilutive effect of outstanding stock options	240,513	164,613	195,940	104,176
Dilutive shares	13,300,108	13,149,152	13,267,982	13,096,035

There were 78,900 and 970,900 options not included in the calculation of common stock equivalents because the exercise price of the options exceeded the average market price during the twenty-six week periods ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, respectively. There were 47,500 and 803,400 options not included in the calculation of common stock equivalents because the exercise price of the options exceeded the average market price during the thirteen week periods ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, respectively.

Unissued shares of common stock were reserved for the following purposes:

	July 2, 2011	January 1, 2011

Exercise of options outstanding	1,035,094	1,101,594
Future grants of options or shares	435,600	415,600
Shares reserved for employee stock purchase plan	298,097	320,364

Total	1,768,791	1,837,558

11.	Stock Based Compensation

At July 2, 2011, the Company had five stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company measures the fair value of stock options, if and when granted, based on the Black-Scholes method and using 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-based compensation expense related to awards is amortized in accordance with applicable vesting periods using the straight-line method.

Stock-based compensation expense of $50 and $167 was recognized for the twenty-six week periods ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, respectively.

No options were granted during the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 and 20,000 options were granted during the twenty-six week period ended July 3, 2010.

Activity regarding outstanding options for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 is as follows:

	All Stock Options Outstanding
	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Options outstanding as of January 1, 2011	1,101,594		$4.10
Options exercised	(23,000	)	$3.36
Options forfeited/cancelled	(43,500	)	$3.08

Options outstanding as of July 2, 2011	1,035,094		$4.16

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company implemented the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan with stockholder approval, effective January 1, 2001. Such Plan was subsequently amended, pursuant to stockholder approval where required, effective June 18, 2009 and September 16, 2009 (the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as so amended, the “Purchase Plan”). 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. The Company has two offering periods in the Purchase Plan coinciding with the Company’s first two fiscal quarters and the last two fiscal quarters. Actual shares are issued on the first day of the subsequent offering period for the prior offering period payroll deductions. The number of shares issued at the beginning of the current period (as of January 2, 2011) was 22,267. As of July 2, 2011, there were 298,097 shares available for issuance under the Purchase Plan.

15.	Discontinued Operations

In September 2010, the Company sold the fixed and intangible assets associated with its light industrial and clerical staffing business located in southern California and doing business under the name Intertec. Accounts receivable and certain short term liabilities of this business unit were retained by the Company. The Company received cash of $400 and recognized a gain of $143 on the sale of Intertec during the 2010 fiscal year. The Intertec business unit had been grouped with its Specialty Health Care business unit in the Company’s formerly named Commercial Services segment. The Company may experience continued operating losses from the clerical staffing business if future workers compensation losses exceed the Company’s reserves but the Company does not presently anticipate any material losses, if any.

In March 2010, the Company closed its Oracle business unit located in southern California. The closed business unit, included in the Company’s Information Technology segment, sold Oracle software applications and provided implementation, hosting and maintenance services for the suite of Oracle and related software applications. The Company may experience continued losses in its Oracle business unit as a result of representations and warranties made in association with certain completed projects in excess of accruals but the Company does not anticipate any material losses, if any.

The Intertec and Oracle business units have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The net assets and liabilities of discontinued operations consist of:

16.	Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for income from continuing operations was 40.8% for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011. The current period effective tax rate is comprised of an estimated effective tax rate of 43.4% in the United States offset by an effective tax rate of 27.2% in Canada (due to income tax abatements in Canada in 2011). The Company also experienced an approximate loss of $0.1 million in Ireland whereby the net effect of a full valuation allowance yielded no tax benefit and increased the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate.

For the twenty-six week period ended July 3, 2010, the Company recognized a nonrecurring current tax benefit of $1.1 million due to the discrete nature of the goodwill and intangible asset tax deduction for the liquidation of its Oracle business unit subsidiary described in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company recognized an impairment of the book goodwill and intangible assets associated with this subsidiary in 2008. This was offset by regular tax provision expense of $1.9 million on current taxable income from continuing operations, resulting in a cumulative income tax benefit of approximately $0.8 million (not including the tax benefit from discontinued operations). Excluding the tax benefit from the nonrecurring goodwill and intangible asset tax deduction, the Company’s recognized effective tax rate for the twenty-six week period ended July 3, 2010 was 38.2%.

17.	Contingencies

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. The Company may not be covered by insurance as it pertains to some or all of these matters. 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. Included in the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses is a provision for losses from legal matters aggregating approximately $0.4 million and $0.6 million as of July 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011, respectively. Asserted claims in these matters seek approximately $7.3 million in damages as of July 2, 2011.

The Company is also subject to other pending legal proceedings and claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, which may not be covered by insurance.

18.	Stockholder Rights Plan

On June 8, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stockholder rights plan and declared a dividend distribution of one Right for each outstanding share of Common Stock of the Company. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one one-hundredth of a share (a “Unit”) of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares of the Company. The dividend was declared on June 8, 2010 (the "Rights Dividend Declaration Date") to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 21, 2010 (the “Record Date”). Each Right will entitle the holder to purchase from the Company, upon the occurrence of certain events, one Unit at a purchase price of $13.50.

Generally, if any person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's outstanding Common Stock (“Stock Acquisition”), each Right (other than Rights held by such acquiring person or group) will be exercisable at the $13.50 purchase price. Upon the acquisition of 50% of the Company, the Board may exchange all or part of the Rights for Common Shares having a value equal to the spread between the value of the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of a Right and the exercise price. At any time until ten days following the Stock Acquisition date, the Company may redeem the Rights at a price of $.001 per Right. The Rights expired on June 21, 2011; the Board could adopt a similar plan in the future should it deem it to be in the best interest of the Company.

ITEM 2.

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 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.

The Company experienced a significant decrease in revenues during the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The Company believes that the revenue decrease was primarily attributable to subpar performance in sales efforts (which the Company has taken steps to remediate) in the Company’s Information Technology segment and declines, resulting from general economic conditions, in the spending of its major Engineering segment clients, as further discussed in the Segment Discussion below. While the Company believes general economic conditions and overall market conditions for its Information Technology and Specialty Health Care segments have improved slightly from their recessionary lows, the Company is cautious regarding expectations for the remainder of 2011 as the Company believes that any general economic or market recovery may be slow and/or tenuous.

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.

ITEM 2.

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. The Company’s Engineering Services and Information Technology Services segments perform consulting and project solutions services. All of the Company’s segments perform staff augmentation services and derive revenue from permanent placement fees. The majority of the Company's revenues are invoiced on a time and materials basis.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition (Continued)

Project Services

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with “Revenue Recognition” 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 may recognize revenues 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 (i.e., percentage of completion). In addition, some contracts contain “Performance Fees” (bonuses) for completing a contract under budget. Performance Fees, if any, are recorded when the Company is reasonably certain of collection. Some contracts also limit revenues and billings to maximum amounts. Provision for contract losses, if any, are made in the period such losses are determined. For contracts where there is a deliverable, the work is not complete on a specific deliverable and the revenue is not recognized, the costs are deferred. The associated costs are expensed when the related revenue is recognized.

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.

Net Revenue

The Company records revenue on a “net” basis on relevant engineering and construction management projects, which require subcontractors or pass-through costs. In those situations, the Company charges the client a management fee, which is reported as net revenue when earned. Under such contracts, the Company is not required to pay the subcontractor until payment is received from the client. Such pass-through amounts as of July 2, 2011 are not material.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

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 receivable 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 acquired in business combinations. The Company is required 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 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 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 the last day of the Company’s fiscal November each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The Company periodically analyzes 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 share price and market capitalization, a decline in 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. Due to the thin trading of the Company stock in the public marketplace and the impact of the control premium held by a relatively few shareholders, the Company does not consider the market capitalization of the Company the most appropriate measure of fair value of goodwill for our reporting units. The Company looks to earnings/revenue multiples of similar companies recently completing acquisitions and the ability of our reporting units to generate cash flows as better measures of the fair value of our reporting units, and under the November 2010 calculation the fair value exceeded the recorded goodwill by at least 25% for each of the reporting units. The Company compares the fair value of each of its reporting units to their respective carrying values, including related goodwill. There can be no assurance that future tests of goodwill impairment will not result in impairment charges.

Long-Lived and Intangible 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 “Share Based Payment,” which 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. The Company measures stock-based compensation cost using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

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 July 2, 2011, the Company had short term deferred tax assets of $0.8 million and total long term net deferred income tax assets of $3.0 million. The short term deferred tax assets primarily represent timing differences for GAAP expense accruals not deductible for tax purposes. The long term deferred tax assets represent 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 conducts its operations in multiple tax jurisdictions in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and Ireland. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to audits by state and local tax authorities for tax years prior to 2007. The Company’s federal income tax returns have been examined through 2007. As of July 2, 2011, the Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions.

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 information technology and engineering services. When the U.S., Canadian or global 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 the Company’s future earnings. There can be no assurance that the Company 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.

Forward-looking Information (Continued)

The consulting and employment services market is highly competitive with limited barriers to entry. The Company competes in global, national, regional and local markets with numerous competitors in all of the Company's service lines. Price competition in the industries the Company serves is significant, and pricing pressures from competitors and customers are increasing. The Company expects that the level of competition will remain high in the future, which could limit the Company’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. The year to date reporting periods ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010 consisted of thirteen weeks each.

Revenues. Revenues decreased 14.7%, or $6.3 million, for the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to the thirteen week period ended July 3, 2010 (the “comparable prior year period”). Revenues decreased $5.8 million in the Information Technology segment, decreased $0.5 million in the Engineering segment, and marginally decreased in the Specialty Health Care segment. The Company typically experiences seasonality in revenues during months that contain holidays and increased vacation time as billable personnel are not available to bill time to customers. See Segment Discussion for further information on revenue changes.

Cost of Services. Cost of services decreased 14.2%, or $4.3 million, for the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease in cost of services was primarily due to a decrease in revenues. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues increased to 71.4% for the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011 from 70.9% for the comparable prior year period. The increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to an increase in non-billable time paid to the direct workforce in the Company’s Information Technology segment (i.e. decrease in utilization) and an increase in certain statutory payroll tax rates. Management anticipates the ratio of cost of sales to revenues for the remainder of fiscal 2011 to remain relatively comparable to that in the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011, adjusted for increased vacation and holidays in the third and fourth quarters.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative (“SGA”) expenses decreased 12.8%, or $1.2 million, for the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to the comparable prior year period. As a percentage of revenues, SGA expenses were 22.4% for the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to 21.8% for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in SGA expenses was primarily due to a concerted effort by the Company to reduce SGA expenses. The primary components of the reduction include labor and related expenses, professional fees and bad debt. The increase to SGA expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to the decrease in revenues. Assuming no material changes to gross profit, management expects SGA expenses for the remainder of fiscal 2011 to remain generally consistent with the SGA expenses for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011.

Other Income, Net. Other income, net consists of interest expense, unused line fees and amortized loan costs on the Company’s loan agreement, net of interest income, gains and losses on foreign currency transactions.

Income Tax Expense From Continuing Operations. The Company experienced income tax expense from continuing operations of $0.8 million for the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to $1.1 million for the comparable prior year period. The effective income tax rate for income from continuing operations was 39.3% for the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to 40.6% for the comparable prior year period (before the effect of the first quarter 2010 goodwill and intangible asset deduction more fully described in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The current period effective tax rate is comprised of an estimated effective tax rate of 41.5% in the United States offset by an effective tax rate of 24.4% in Canada (due to income tax abatements in Canada in 2011). Management anticipates that the effective tax rate for the remainder of fiscal 2011 will approximate the effective tax rate for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011.

Discontinued Operations. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for a description of discontinued operations. The Company had no activity in its discontinued operations during the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011. The Company does not anticipate material operating losses from discontinued operations for the balance of fiscal 2011.

Segment Discussion (See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements)

Information Technology

Information Technology revenues of $13.4 million in the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011 decreased $5.8 million, or 30.1%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The Company believes the decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to poor execution by its sales generation team, which the Company believes it has taken steps to remediate. In particular, the Information Technology segment experienced a $1.3 million decrease from its Michigan and Ohio offices and a $1.7 million decrease from its Life Sciences clients. The Life Sciences group experienced a decrease of $1.7 million from two pharmaceutical clients whose projects ended or were significantly curtailed at the end of the second quarter in 2010, while all other Life Science clients were essentially flat. The Information Technology segment operating income was $0.1 million for the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to $0.7 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to a decrease in revenues.

Engineering

Engineering revenues of $15.8 million in the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011 decreased $0.5 million, or 3.1%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to the timing of significant projects for the Engineering segments major clients. The Engineering segment operating income was $1.1 million for the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to $1.4 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to lower revenues and a higher allocation of corporate SGA expense. Corporate SGA expense is allocated based on revenues and the Engineering revenues as a percentage of total revenues significantly increased in 2011.

Specialty Health Care

Specialty Health Care revenues of $7.2 million in the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011 marginally decreased, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The Specialty Health Care segment operating income was $0.8 million for the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to $0.7 million for the comparable prior year period. The primary reason for the increase in operating income was a decrease in SGA expense offset by increases to cost of services as a percentage of revenues. The increase to cost of services as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to percentage increases to New York state payroll taxes and related items.

Cost of Services. Cost of services decreased 15.2%, or $9.6 million, for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease in cost of services was primarily due to a decrease in revenues. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues decreased to 71.4% for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 from 71.9% for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in cost of services as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to favorable fixed priced contracts in our Engineering segment and the Company’s focus on providing higher margin services in general. Management anticipates the ratio of cost of sales to revenues for the remainder of fiscal 2011 to remain relatively comparable to that in the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011, adjusted for increased vacation and holidays in the third and fourth quarters.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative (“SGA”) expenses decreased 12.6%, or $2.4 million, for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to the comparable prior year period.

The current period effective tax rate is comprised of an estimated effective tax rate of 43.4% in the United States offset by an effective tax rate of 27.2% in Canada (due to income tax abatements in Canada in 2011). The Company also experienced an approximate loss of $0.1 million in Ireland whereby the net effect of a full valuation allowance yielded no tax benefit and increased the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate. Management anticipates that the effective tax rate for the remainder of fiscal 2011 will approximate the effective tax rate for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011.

Information Technology

Information Technology revenues of $28.7 million in the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 decreased $10.3 million, or 26.5%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The Company believes the decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to poor execution by its sales generation team, which the Company believes it has taken steps to remediate. In particular, the Information Technology segment experienced a $2.5 million decrease from its Michigan and Ohio offices and a $3.7 million decrease from its Life Sciences clients. The Life Sciences group experienced a decrease of $4.0 million from two pharmaceutical clients whose projects ended or were significantly curtailed at the end of the second quarter in 2010, offset by a $0.3 million increase from all other Life Science clients. The Information Technology segment operating income was $0.3 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to $0.7 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to a decrease in revenues.

Engineering

Engineering revenues of $32.0 million in the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 decreased $3.0 million, or 8.7%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to the timing of significant projects for the Engineering segments major clients. The Engineering segment operating income was $2.5 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to $2.9 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to lower revenues and a higher allocation of corporate SGA expense. Corporate SGA expense is allocated based on revenues and the Engineering segment revenues as a percentage of total revenues significantly increased in 2011. Revenues decreased on a comparative basis due to periodic or cyclical changes in demand from several large clients. In particular, the Company believes the demand from several major Engineering clients in the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 2010 was unusually high.

Specialty Health Care

Specialty Health Care revenues of $14.5 million in the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 increased $0.5 million, or 3.3%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The Specialty Health Care segment operating income was $1.2 million for both the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 and the comparable prior year period.

	Operating activities	($306	)	$8,159
	Investing activities	($170	)	$12
	Financing activities	($748	)	($41	)

Operating Activities

Operating activities used $0.3 million of cash for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to providing $8.2 million in the comparable prior year period. The major components of the cash used/provided by operating activities in the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 and the comparable prior year period are as follows: net income, accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and accrued payroll and related costs.

Net income for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 was $2.4 million as compared to $3.5 million for the comparable prior year period. An increase in accounts receivables in the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 used $1.8 million as compared to a decrease in accounts receivables during the twenty-six week period ended July 3, 2010 which provided $1.1 million. The Company primarily attributes the increase in accounts receivables for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 to an increase in work-in-progress billings in its Engineering segment and overall increases in its sales days outstanding due to temporary timing differences. The Company anticipates improved sales days outstanding for the balance of its fiscal 2011.

A decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 used $0.9 million as compared to providing $0.7 million in the comparable prior year period. The Company attributes these changes to general timing of payments to vendors in the normal course of business. A decrease to accrued payroll and related costs in the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 used $0.4 million as compared to providing $1.7 million in the comparable prior year period. The decrease in accrued payroll and related costs during the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 primarily relates to reduced payroll.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

Investing Activities

Investing activities used cash of $0.2 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to marginally positive cash flow from investing activities for the comparable prior year period. The increase in cash used from investing activities was primarily attributable to increases to deposits for leased office space and slightly increased expenditures for property and equipment. The Company anticipates upgrading its ERP system sometime in 2011 and expects to see a significant rise in expenditures for property and equipment as a result. Additionally, the Company’s Engineering segment may purchase several pieces of equipment totaling $0.5 million for one of its operating divisions.

Financing Activities

Financing activities consisted of using $0.7 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2011 as compared to marginally negative cash flow for the comparable prior year period. The primary use of cash was for the Company’s share repurchase program.

As of July 2, 2011, $1.9 million of the $23.5 million (on the Consolidated Balance Sheet) of cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries.

Commitments

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 (or a replacement thereof), 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.

Commitments - (Continued)

The Company does not currently have material commitments for capital expenditures. However, the Company anticipates that it will begin to upgrade its current ERP system sometime in 2011. Additionally, the Company believes that its Engineering segment will purchase several pieces of equipment totaling $0.5 million for one of its operating divisions. 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 at least the next 12 months.

The Company leases office facilities and various equipment under non-cancelable leases expiring at various dates through September 2015. Certain leases are subject to escalation clauses based upon changes in various factors. The minimum future annual operating lease commitments for leases with non-cancelable terms, exclusive of unknown operating escalation charges, are as follows (in thousands):

Fiscal Years	Amount
2011 (after July 2, 2011)	$1,899
2012	2,612
2013	1,098
2014	267
2015	113
Total	$5,989

The Company has one active acquisition agreement whereby future contingent consideration may be earned and paid (PSG in 2009). In connection with these acquisitions, the Company is obligated to pay future 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 future 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.

Year Ending		Amount
December 31, 2011		$144
December 29, 2012		164
December 28, 2013		184
Maximum deferred consideration		$492

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 July 2, 2011, 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 10% (approximately 90 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 effective 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.
