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 28, 2013 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 thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended June 28, 2014 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. The fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 was a 52-week reporting year. The second fiscal quarters of 2014 and 2013 ended on the following dates, respectively:

Period Ended	Weeks in Quarter	Weeks in Year to Date
June 28, 2014	Thirteen	Twenty-Six
June 29, 2013	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, adequacy of reserves, the tax rate applied and the valuation of certain assets and liability accounts. 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)

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, Transit Accounts Receivable and Transit Accounts Payable

The Company’s accounts receivable are comprised as follows:

	June 28, 2014		December 28, 2013
Billed	$44,079		$35,415
Accrued and unbilled	6,428		7,895
Work-in-progress	9,729		13,394
Allowance for doubtful accounts and sales discounts	(929	)	(978	)

Accounts receivable, net	$59,307		$55,726

Unbilled receivables primarily represent revenues earned whereby those services are ready to be billed as of the balance sheet ending date. Work-in-process primarily represents revenues earned under contracts which the Company contractually invoices at future dates.

From time to time, the Company’s Engineering segment enters into agreements to provide, among other things, construction management and engineering services. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company a) may engage subcontractors to provide construction or other services; b) typically earns a fixed percentage of the total project value; and c) assumes no ownership or risks of inventory. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is typically not required to pay the subcontractor until after the corresponding payment from the Company’s end-client is received. Upon invoicing the end-client on behalf of the subcontractor or staffing agency the Company records this amount simultaneously as both a “transit account receivable” and “transit account payable” as the amount when paid to the Company is due to and generally paid to the subcontractor within a few days. The Company typically does not pay a given transit account payable until the related transit account receivable is collected. The Company’s transit accounts payable generally exceeds the Company’s transit accounts receivable but absolute amounts and spreads fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in the normal course of business. The transit accounts receivable was $4.3 million and related transit accounts payable was $6.8 million, for a net liability of $2.5 million, as of June 28, 2014.

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

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.

Property and equipment are comprised of the following:

	June 28, 2014	December 28, 2013
Equipment and furniture	$2,342	$2,454
Computers and systems	6,180	5,670
Leasehold improvements	669	633
	9,191	8,757

Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization	6,061	6,466

Property and equipment, net	$3,130	$2,291

The Company periodically writes off fully depreciated assets. The Company wrote off fully depreciated assets of $916 and $1,143 for the twenty-six week periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively.

6.	Acquisitions

The Company has acquired numerous companies throughout its history and those acquisitions have generally included significant future contingent consideration.

Future Contingent Payments

As of June 28, 2014, the Company had one active acquisition agreement whereby additional contingent consideration may be earned. Effective July 1, 2012 the Company acquired certain assets of BGA, LLC (“BGA”) as more fully described below. The Company estimates future contingent payments at June 28, 2014 as follows:

Period Ending
January 3, 2015	$88
January 2, 2016	222
December 31, 2016	307
Estimated future contingent consideration payments	$617

Actual future contingent payments may materially differ from the estimates above. Future contingent payments to be made to BGA are capped at a maximum of $2.7 million cumulatively. The Company estimates future contingent consideration in payments based on forecasted performance and recorded the net present value of those expected payments as of June 28, 2014. The measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASU Topic 820-10-35) refers to as Level 3 inputs.

The Company paid $0.3 million in contingent consideration during the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014. The Company did not pay any contingent consideration in the comparable prior year period. There were no other changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration during the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014.

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

Goodwill

The carrying amount of goodwill at both June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013 for the Company’s Engineering, Information Technology and Specialty Health Care segments was $2,326, $5,516 and $1,703, respectively.

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 Company’s intangible assets consist of customer relationships and non-compete agreements.

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

	Engineering	Information Technology	Total
Balance as of December 28, 2013	$179	$37	$216

Amortization of intangibles during the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014	24	16	40

Balance as of June 28, 2014	$155	$21	$176

The Company periodically writes off fully amortized intangible assets. The Company did not write off any fully amortized intangibles for the twenty-six week periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013.

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 million for letters of credit (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility has been amended several times, most recently on December 24, 2011 when the maturity date was extended to August 31, 2016. 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. Unused line fees are recorded as interest expense.

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 borrow to pay dividends. As of June 28, 2014 and during all periods presented, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in its Revolving Credit Facility.

There were no borrowings during the twenty-six week periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013. At both June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, there were letters of credit outstanding for $0.8 million. At June 28, 2014, the Company had availability for additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility of $14.2 million.

10.	Per 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 shares of common stock used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the twenty-six week periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 was determined as follows:

	Thirteen Week Periods Ended		Twenty-Six Week Periods Ended
	June 28, 2014	June 29, 2013	June 28, 2014	June 29, 2013

Basic weighted average shares outstanding	12,488,420	12,324,868	12,471,712	12,317,967
Dilutive effect of outstanding stock options	189,552	99,569	186,686	85,742
Weighted average dilutive shares outstanding	12,677,972	12,424,437	12,658,398	12,403,709

There were 45,000 and 97,500 absolute anti-dilutive shares not included in the calculation of common stock equivalents for the twenty-six week periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively. These were determined to be anti-dilutive because the exercise prices of these shares for the period were higher than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the same period.

10.	Per Share Data (Continued)

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

	June 28, 2014	December 28, 2013

Exercise of options outstanding	226,400	276,900
Restricted stock awards outstanding	300,000	300,000
Future grants of options or shares	19,100	34,100
Shares reserved for employee stock purchase plan	155,714	189,576

Total	701,214	800,576

11.	Share-Based Compensation

At June 28, 2014, the Company had three share-based employee compensation plans. The Company measures the fair value of share-based awards, 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. Awards vest over periods ranging from one to three years and expire within 10 years of issuance. Share-based compensation expense related to awards is amortized in accordance with applicable vesting periods using the straight-line method. Share-based compensation expense of $368 and $369 was recognized for the twenty-six week periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively.

As of June 28, 2014, the Company had approximately $875 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to all non-vested share-based 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 share-based awards that may be granted in future periods or reflect any potential changes in the Company’s forfeiture rate.

11.	Share-Based Compensation (Continued)

The 1996 Plan and 2000 Plan are expired and therefore no shares are available for grant thereunder.

2007 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the 2007 Plan)

The 2007 Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders in June 2007, provides for the issuance of up to 700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to officers, non-employee directors, employees of the Company and its subsidiaries or consultants and advisors utilized by the Company. 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 28, 2014, under the 2007 Plan, 19,100 shares of common stock were available for future grants and options to purchase 89,400 shares of common stock, as well as 300,000 restricted stock units, were outstanding.

11.	Share-Based Compensation (Continued)

Restricted Stock Units

From time-to-time the Company issues restricted stock units. These restricted stock units typically include dividend accrual equivalents, which means that any dividends paid by the Company during the three year vesting period become due and payable after the three year vesting period assuming the grantee’s restricted stock unit fully vests. Dividends for these grants are accrued on the dividend payment dates and included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Dividends for restricted stock units that ultimately do not vest are forfeited.

To date, the Company has only issued restricted stock units under the 2007 Plan. The following summarizes the restricted stock units activity under the 2007 Plan during 2014:

	Number of Restricted Stock Units (in thousands)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
Outstanding non-vested at December 28, 2013	300	$5.72
Granted	-	-
Vested	-	-
Forfeited or expired	-	-
Outstanding non-vested at June 28, 2014	300	$5.72

Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $6.49 per share on June 27, 2014, the intrinsic value of the non-vested restricted stock units at June 28, 2014 was approximately $2.0 million. As of June 28, 2014, there was approximately $792 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 16.5 months.

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 December 30, 2013) was 33,862. As of June 28, 2014, there were 155,714 shares available for issuance under the Purchase Plan.

Treasury Stock Transactions

Our Board of Directors instituted a share repurchase program in February 2010, which authorized the repurchase of up to $7.5 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of our common stock at prevailing market prices, from time to time over the subsequent 12 months. In February 2011, the share repurchase program was extended through February 2013. During the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013, the Company repurchased 15,450 shares for an average price of $5.35 per share. Over the life of this share repurchase program, the Company purchased 1,473,306 shares at a total cost of approximately $7.5 million, or an average price of $5.09.

On October 28, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized an additional repurchase program to purchase up to $5.0 million of outstanding shares of common stock at the prevailing market prices, from time to time over the subsequent 12-month period. As of June 28, 2014, the Company had not purchased any shares under this additional repurchase program.

13.	New Accounting Standards

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (ASU 2013-11), which amends ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” This update provides guidance on the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses or tax credit carryforwards exist. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2013-11 in 2014. This update did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The new standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method on adoption. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, including which transition method it will adopt.

15.	Income Taxes

The projected fiscal 2014 effective income tax rate as of June 28, 2014 is approximately 41.7% and 28.4% in the United States and Canada, respectively, and has yielded a consolidated effective income tax rate of approximately 36.1% for the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014. The Company reduced an unrecognized tax benefit of $0.5 million during the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2013. Before considering this discreet adjustment, the projected fiscal 2013 effective income tax rate as of June 29, 2013 was approximately 41.3% and 26.5% in the United States and Canada, respectively, and yielded a consolidated effective income tax rate of approximately 40.8% for the twenty-six week period ended June 29, 2013. The relative income or loss generated in each jurisdiction can materially impact the overall effective income tax rate of the company.

16.	Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions that 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 zero as of June 28, 2014 and $0.1 million as of December 28, 2013. Asserted claims in these matters seek approximately $11.2 million in damages as of June 28, 2014.

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.

17. Severance and Other Charges

During the year ended December 28, 2013, the Company incurred one-time charges related to three endeavors: 1) facilities consolidation charges - the Company elected to consolidate its Canadian operations by consolidating its Mississauga location into its expanded Pickering location, and the Company closed its Mason, Ohio office. The costs associated with the consolidation of offices in Canada primarily related to statutory severance requirements resulting from labor laws in Canada. The charges associated with the Company’s closed Mason, Ohio office represent future rent payments whereby the Company will not utilize the premises; 2) the Company engaged in a contested proxy solicitation which culminated in a group of stockholders winning two seats on the Company’s board of directors and the subsequent retirement of its President and Chief Executive Officer, Leon Kopyt; and 3) the Company incurred professional fees connected with a research and development tax credit study related to prior tax years.

The Company incurred $0.1 million in severance and other charges for the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 and $0.4 million for the comparable prior year period. The costs in the current period primarily related to professional fees associated with the settlement agreements entered into following the Company’s fiscal 2013 proxy contest. The costs in the comparable prior year period primarily related to facilities consolidation charges and the professional fees associated with the 2013 proxy contest.

As of December 28, 2013 and June 28, 2014 the Company accrued $2.5 million for severance for Mr. Kopyt to be paid during the third quarter of fiscal 2014. As of June 28, 2014 the Company’s prepaid expenses and other current assets includes $1.7 million funded to a rabbi trust which represents the severance obligation, net of taxes, to be paid to Mr. Kopyt.

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 an increase in revenues of 17.3% during the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The Engineering, Information Technology and Specialty Healthcare segments experienced growth of 23.1%, 5.1% and 24.8%, respectively. The Company is optimistic that overall results for the remaining two quarters of fiscal 2014 should remain favorable as compared to the comparable prior year periods.

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.

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.

ITEM 2.

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

Overview (Continued)

Costs of services consist primarily of salaries and compensation-related expenses for billable consultants and employees, 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.

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 at the time certain milestones are reached, as defined in the contract. Revenues under these arrangements are recognized as the costs on these contracts are incurred. Amounts invoiced in excess of revenues recognized are recorded as deferred revenue, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheets. 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 earned. Some contracts also limit revenues and billings to specified maximum amounts. Provision for contract losses, if any, are made in the period such losses are determined.

ITEM 2.

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. These services are typically billed on a time and material basis.

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).

Transit Accounts Receivable and Transit Accounts Payable

From time to time, the Company’s Engineering segment enters into agreements to provide, among other things, construction management and engineering services. In certain circumstances, the Company may acquire equipment as a purchasing agent for the client for a fee. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company: a) may engage subcontractors to provide construction or other services or contracts with manufacturers on behalf of the Company’s clients to procure equipment or fixtures; b) typically earns a fixed percentage of the total project value or a negotiated mark-up on subcontractor or procurement charges as a fee; and c) assumes no ownership or risks of inventory. In such situations, the Company acts as an agent under the provisions of “Overall Considerations of Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent” and therefore recognizing revenue on a “net-basis.” The Company records revenue on a “net” basis on relevant engineering and construction management projects, which require subcontractor/procurement costs or transit costs. In those situations, the Company charges the client a negotiated fee, which is reported as net revenue when earned. During the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014, total gross billings, including both transit cost billings and the Company’s earned fees, was $36.1 million, for which the Company recognized $22.4 million of its net fee as revenue. During the twenty-six week period ended June 29, 2013, total gross billings, including both transit cost billings and the Company’s earned fees, was $37.7 million, for which the Company recognized $12.1 million of its net fee as revenue.

Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is typically not required to pay the subcontractor until after the corresponding payment from the Company’s end-client is received. Upon invoicing the end-client on behalf of the subcontractor or staffing agency the Company records this amount simultaneously as both a “transit account receivable” and “transit account payable” as the amount when paid to the Company is due to and generally paid to the subcontractor within a few days. The Company typically does not pay a given transit account payable until the related transit account receivable is collected. The Company’s transit accounts payable generally exceeds the Company’s transit accounts receivable but absolute amounts and spreads fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in the normal course of business. The transit accounts receivable was $4.3 million and related transit accounts payable was $6.8 million, for a net liability of $2.5 million, as of June 28, 2014.

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.

ITEM 2.

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 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 assess the carrying value of its reporting units that contain goodwill at least on an annual basis in order to determine if any impairment in value has occurred. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a two-step impairment test. An assessment of those qualitative factors or the application of the goodwill impairment test requires significant judgment including but not limited to the assessment of the business, its management and general market conditions, 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 formally assesses these qualitative factors and, if necessary, 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, a material change in management or other key personnel 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. 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.

ITEM 2.

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

Accounting for Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units

The Company uses stock options and restricted stock units 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 for stock options and the fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant for restricted stock units.

Insurance Liabilities

The Company has risk participation arrangements with respect to workers compensation and health care insurance. The Company establishes loss provisions based on historical experience and in the case of expected losses from workers compensation, considers input from third parties. 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.

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 28, 2014, the Company had domestic short-term deferred tax assets of $1.3 million, total domestic long-term net deferred income tax assets of $1.3 million and foreign short-term deferred tax liability of $0.1 million. The domestic short-term deferred tax assets primarily represent the tax effect of accrued expenses which will be deductible for tax purposes within a twelve month period. The domestic long term deferred tax assets represent the tax effect of temporary differences for the GAAP versus tax amortization of intangibles arising from 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 and Canada. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to audits by state and local tax authorities for tax years prior to 2009. The Company’s federal income tax returns have been examined through 2010.

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.

The Company had an unrecognized tax benefit of $0.6 million as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013. There were no changes to unrecognized tax benefits during the comparable prior year period.

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 and qualitative 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.

ITEM 2.

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

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.

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.

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

Thirteen Week Period Ended June 28, 2014 Compared to Thirteen Week Period Ended June 29, 2013 (Continued)

Revenues. Revenues increased 16.8%, or $7.1 million, for the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2014 as compared to the thirteen week period ended June 29, 2013 (the “comparable prior year period”). Revenues increased $5.1 million in the Engineering segment, $0.4 million in the Information Technology segment and $1.6 million in the Specialty Health Care segment. See Segment Discussion for further information on revenue changes.

Cost of Services. Cost of services increased 17.5%, or $5.4 million, for the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2014 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase in cost of services was primarily due to the increase in revenues. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues increased to 73.8% for the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2014 from 73.5% for the comparable prior year period. The increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to a reduction in higher margin project work in the Engineering segment and an increase in the cost of services as a percentage of revenues in the Company’s Specialty Health Care segment. See Segment Discussion for further information regarding changes in cost of services as a percentage of revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative (“SGA”) expenses increased 7.6%, or $0.7 million, for the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2014 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase in SGA expense was primarily due to investment in personnel and infrastructure necessary to support higher revenues. As a percentage of revenues, SGA expenses were 19.5% for the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2014 as compared to 21.3% for the comparable prior year period. SGA expense as a percentage of revenues decreased due to the increase in revenues.

Severance and Other Charges. The Company did not incur any severance and other charges during the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2014. The Company incurred $0.3 million in severance and other charges during the thirteen week period ended June 29, 2013 which primarily related to facilities consolidation charges and professional fees associated with the Company’s fiscal 2013 proxy contest. The Company does not anticipate it will incur any more charges related to facilities consolidation or the proxy contest. The Company may incur significant additional charges in fiscal 2014 related to continuing its research and development tax credit study started in fiscal 2013.

Other (Expense) 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 and any other non-operating items incurred from time to time.

Income Tax Expense. The Company recognized $1.0 million of income tax expense for the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2014 as compared to $0.2 million for the comparable prior year period. Income tax expense for the thirteen week period ended June 29, 2013 reflects a reduction by $0.5 million resulting from a reduction in a previously unrecognized tax benefit (“discrete adjustment”). The consolidated effective income tax rate for the current period was 34.1% as compared to 41.4% for the comparable prior year period (before the discrete adjustment). The projected fiscal 2014 effective income tax rate as of June 28, 2014 was approximately 41.7% and 28.4% in the United States and Canada, respectively. The relative income or loss generated in each jurisdiction can materially impact the overall effective income tax rate of the Company. The consolidated effective income tax rate decreased for the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2014 as compared to the comparable prior year period because the Company’s Canadian income before taxes increased as a percentage of total income before taxes.

Segment Discussion

Engineering

Engineering revenues of $26.1 million in the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2014 increased $5.1 million, or 24.4%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenues of $5.1 million in the Company’s Canadian Engineering group. The Engineering segment operating income was $2.0 million for the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2014 as compared to $0.7 million for the comparable prior year period. Operating income increased primarily due to the substantial increase in revenues and the decrease in severance and other charges of $0.3 million, offset by an increase in SGA expenses. SGA expenses increased by $0.2 million due to increased investment in the Company’s Canadian Engineering division and the Technical Publications group as both have experienced increased demand for their services.

Information Technology

Information Technology revenues of $14.7 million in the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2014 increased $0.4 million, or 3.0%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The Information Technology segment operating income was $0.8 million for the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2014 as compared to $0.6 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in operating income was primarily due to an increase in revenues and a decrease in cost of services as a percentage of revenues. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues decreased to 70.4% from 70.8% for the comparable prior year period primarily due to a continued effort by the Company to focus on higher margin services.

Specialty Health Care

Specialty Health Care revenues of $8.8 million in the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2014 increased $1.6 million, or 22.3%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The primary reason for the increase in the revenues for the Specialty Health Care segment related to an increase of $2.0 million in revenues from the segment’s Honolulu office. Specialty Health Care’s operating income for the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2014 was $0.3 million as compared to $0.5 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in operating income was due primarily to an increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenues and an increase in SGA expense. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues increased to 71.3% from 68.6% for the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to a tightening of the labor supply in Specialty Health Care’s core markets and the segment’s geographic expansion efforts, which have thus far garnered lower gross profit margins than the segment has typically achieved in its primary geographic region. The increase in SGA expenses of $0.5 million was primarily due to increased investments in expanding Specialty Health Care’s geographic footprint and several new service lines as well as an increased allocation of the Company’s corporate SGA expense.

Segment Discussion

Engineering

Engineering revenues of $50.8 million in the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 increased $9.5 million, or 23.1%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenues of $9.2 million in the Company’s Canadian Engineering group. The Engineering segment operating income was $3.1 million for the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 as compared to $1.5 million for the comparable prior year period. Operating income increased primarily due to the substantial increase in revenues and the decrease in severance and other charges of $0.3 million, offset by an increase in SGA expenses and an increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenues. SGA expenses increased by $0.6 million due to increased investment in the Company’s Canadian Engineering division and the Technical Publications group as both have experienced increased demand for their services. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues increased to 77.7% from 77.3% for the comparable prior year period primarily due to a large fixed priced contract with costs that exceeded estimates. The Company believes this large fixed price contract will be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2014.

Information Technology

Information Technology revenues of $29.7 million in the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 increased $1.4 million, or 5.1%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The Information Technology segment operating income was $1.6 million for the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 as compared to $1.0 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in operating income was primarily due to an increase in revenues and a decrease in cost of services as a percentage of revenues. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues decreased to 70.1% from 71.1% for the comparable prior year period primarily due to a continued effort by the Company to focus on higher margin services.

Specialty Health Care

Specialty Health Care revenues of $17.6 million in the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 increased $3.5 million, or 24.8%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The primary reason for the increase in the revenues for the Specialty Health Care segment related to an increase of $3.3 million in revenues from the segment’s Honolulu office. Specialty Health Care’s operating income for the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 was $0.4 million as compared to $0.8 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in operating income was due primarily to an increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenues and an increase in SGA expense. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues increased to 71.6% from 69.1% for the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to a tightening of the labor supply in Specialty Health Care’s core markets and the segment’s geographic expansion efforts, which have thus far garnered lower gross profit margins than the segment has typically achieved in its primary geographic region.

	Operating activities	$3,907		($202	)
	Investing activities	($1,407	)	($811	)
	Financing activities	$90		$122

Operating Activities

Operating activities provided $3.9 million of cash for the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 as compared to using $0.2 million in the comparable prior year period. The major components of cash provided by or used in operating activities in the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 and the comparable prior year period are as follows: net income and changes in accounts receivable, the net of transit accounts payable and transit accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and accrued payroll and related costs.

Net income for the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 was $3.2 million as compared to $2.4 million for the comparable prior year period. An increase in accounts receivables in the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 used $4.0 million of cash as compared to $5.6 million in the comparable prior year period. The Company primarily attributes the increase in accounts receivables for the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 to an increase in revenues as compared to levels in the second half of fiscal 2013.

The Company’s transit accounts payable generally exceeds the Company’s transit accounts receivable, but absolute amounts and differences fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in the normal course of business. The net of transit accounts payable and transit accounts receivable was a net liability of $2.5 million as of June 28, 2014 and was a negligible net asset as of December 28, 2013, so the cash impact during the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 provided $2.4 million in cash. The net of transit accounts payable and transit accounts receivable was a net liability of $0.8 million as of June 29, 2013 and was a net liability of $2.0 million as of December 29, 2012, so the cash impact during the twenty-six week period ended June 29, 2013 used $1.2 million in cash.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets used $1.9 million in cash for the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 as compared to providing $0.3 million in the comparable prior year period. The primary reason for the increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets is that the Company funded a rabbi trust for $1.7 million, which represents the severance obligation, net of tax, to be paid to Leon Kopyt in August 2014.

An increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses provided $1.8 million for the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 as compared to providing $2.4 million for the comparable prior year period. The Company attributes these changes to general timing of payments to vendors in the normal course of business. A small increase in accrued payroll and related costs for the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 had a negligible impact on cash as compared to providing $0.2 million for the comparable prior year period.

Investing Activities

Investing activities used cash of $1.4 million for the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 as compared to using $0.8 million in the comparable prior year period. The primary reason for the increase in cash used by investment activities was due to an increase of $0.5 million in property and equipment acquired from investments in the Company’s growing Engineering segment and upgrades to the Company’s internal information technology infrastructure. The Company anticipates that it may significantly enhance its financial reporting and accounting system platform sometime in late 2014 and, as a result, it may see a significant rise in expenditures for property and equipment in fiscal 2014.

Financing Activities

Financing activities provided $0.1 million of cash for both the twenty-six week periods ended June 28, 2014 and the comparable prior year period. The Company paid a contingent payment of $0.3 million to the former principles of BGA during the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014. The Company generated cash of $0.4 million from the sale of stock through its stock option and employee stock purchase plans for the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 2014 as compared to $0.2 million for the comparable prior year period. The comparable prior year period cash provided by financing activities was offset by $0.1 million in treasury stock purchases.

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 million for letters of credit (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility has been amended several times, most recently on December 24, 2011 when the maturity date was extended to August 31, 2016. 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) Citizens Bank’s prime rate. The Company also pays unused line fees based on the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility that is not drawn. Unused line fees are recorded as interest expense.

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 a covenant that restricts on the Company’s ability to borrow in order to pay dividends.

There were no borrowings during the twenty-six week periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013. At June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, there were letters of credit outstanding for $0.8 million. At June 28, 2014, the Company had availability for additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility of $14.2 million.

As of June 28, 2014, $1.7 million of the $11.6 million (on the Consolidated Balance Sheet) of cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries, with a negligible amount of this portion held in U.S. dollars and the balance held in Canadian dollars.

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.

ITEM 2.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

Commitments (Continued)

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. The Company has acquired numerous companies throughout its history and those acquisitions have generally included significant future contingent consideration. 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. However, the Company anticipates that it may significantly enhance its current financial reporting and accounting system platform sometime in 2014. 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 June 2020. 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
2014 (After June 28, 2014)	$1,614
2015	2,965
2016	2,247
2017	1,856
2018	1,582
Thereafter	767
Total	$11,031

Future Contingent Payments

As of June 28, 2014, the Company had one active acquisition agreement. Effective July 1, 2012 the Company acquired certain assets of BGA as more fully described in Footnote 6 in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company estimates future contingent payments as follows (in thousands):

Period Ending
January 3, 2015	$88
January 2, 2016	222
December 31, 2016	307
Estimated Future Contingent Payments	$617

Actual future contingent payments may materially differ from the estimates above. Future contingent payments to be made to BGA are capped at a maximum of $2.7 million cumulatively.

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 28, 2014, 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.
