NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

 
1. Description of the Company and its Business
 
The Company
 
Holding Company Reorganization
 
Corporate Resource Services, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on December 15, 2009 for the purpose of acting as a holding company with operating subsidiaries in the staffing business and other related businesses. On February 23, 2010, we completed a holding company reorganization, pursuant to which Accountabilities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Accountabilities”), which immediately prior to the reorganization was our parent company, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Company.
 
As a result of the reorganization, the former holders of Accountabilities common stock became owners of shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and each restricted share of Accountabilities’ common stock issued and outstanding under the Accountabilities Equity Incentive Plan immediately prior to the effective time of the reorganization was automatically converted into a similarly restricted share of our common stock. Our equity capitalization and consolidated assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity immediately following the reorganization remained the same as the equity capitalization and consolidated assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity of Accountabilities immediately prior to the reorganization.
 
References in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to the “Company” refer, for periods prior to February 23, 2010, to Accountabilities, and, for the periods after the reorganization, to Corporate Resource Services, Inc., including its consolidated subsidiaries (unless indicated or context otherwise requires), which are:
 
Accountabilities;
 
Corporate Resource Development, Inc. (“CRD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Delaware corporation, formed on March 23, 2010;
 
Insurance Overload Services, Inc. (“Insurance Overload”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Delaware corporation, formed on July 22, 2010.;
 
Integrated Consulting Group, Inc. (“ICG Inc.”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Delaware corporation formed on October 18, 2010, acquired through a public foreclosure sale certain assets of Integrated Consulting Group of NY LLC (“ICG Seller”) on December 14, 2010 related to the temporary placement of employees in the light industrial industry and translation and interpreting services (the “ICG Acquisition”). See also Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; and
 
Diamond Staffing Services, Inc. (“Diamond Staffing”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Delaware Corporation, formed on October 7, 2010. On January 31, 2011, pursuant to a merger, Diamond Staffing closed its acquisition of Tri-Diamond Staffing, Inc. (“Tri-Diamond”), with the surviving company continuing under the name Diamond Staffing (the “Tri-Diamond Acquisition”). Tri-Diamond was purchased prior to the Tri-Diamond Acquisition on January 1, 2009 by TS Staffing Corp. (“TSS Corp.”). As described above, Mr. Cassera was the sole owner of TSS Corp. and Tri-State Employment Services, Inc., which together with its affiliated entities and persons ("Tri-State") was the beneficial owner of approximately 89.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at December 30, 2011. Because the Company and Tri-Diamond were both controlled by Tri-State and its affiliates, the acquisition was recorded using the pooling-of-interest method as required under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for business combinations of entities under common control and the financial information for all periods presented reflects the financial statements of the combined companies as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2009. See also Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
·
TS Staffing Services, Inc. (“TS Staffing”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Texas corporation.  On November 21, 2011, the Company entered into an Acquisition and Share Exchange Agreement (the “TS Staffing Acquisition”) with TS Staffing and Robert Cassera, the sole shareholder of TS Staffing and a member of the board of directors of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company acquired all of TS Staffing’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in exchange for the issuance and commitment to issue an aggregate of 34,839,159 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, the number of shares, valued at $0.8611 per share, equal to $30,000,000, the agreed upon value of TS Staffing’s business operations as of November 21, 2011. An additional 38,001,402 common shares were issued by the Company in exchange for an equal number of Company shares that were held by TS Staffing immediately prior to the TS Staffing Acquisition. These shares were cancelled upon acquisition.
 
As described above, Mr. Cassera was the sole owner of TS Staffing (and its predecessor TSS Corp.) and Tri-State, which together with its affiliated entities and persons was the beneficial owner of approximately 89.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at December 30, 2011. Because the Company and TS Staffing were both controlled by Tri-State, the acquisition was recorded using the pooling-of-interest method as required under U.S. GAAP for business combinations of entities under common control and the financial information for all periods presented reflects the financial statements of the combined companies. See also Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Nature of Operations
 
Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company is a national provider of diversified staffing, recruiting and consulting services, including temporary staffing services, with a focus on light industrial services, clerical and administrative support and insurance related staffing. The Company provides its services across a variety of industries and to a diverse range of clients ranging from sole proprietorships to Fortune 1000 companies. The Company conducts all of its business in the United States through its New York City headquarters and the operation of 113 staffing and recruiting offices.
 
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (individually and collectively the “Company”). Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 has been restated to reflect the acquisitions of TS Staffing that was accounted for using the pooling-of-interest method of accounting.

Beginning on October 1, 2011, the Company’s operations are on a “52/53-week” fiscal year (”Fiscal Year”) ending on the Friday closest to September 30.  The Company’s fiscal quarters are the interim 13 week periods of the Fiscal Year, with the fourth quarter of a 53-week Fiscal Year extended to 14 weeks.  The differences in the Company’s Fiscal Year quarter (three month) and year end close dates and those of previous periods are not significant.

 Revenue Recognition
 
Staffing and consulting revenues are recognized when services are delivered. Permanent placement revenue, which generated 0.5% and 1.3% for the three months ended December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, is recognized when the candidate commences employment, net of an allowance for those not expected to remain with clients through a 90-day guarantee period, wherein the Company is obligated to find a suitable replacement. 
 
Related Party Liabilities
 
The Company classifies liabilities to related parties on its balance sheet as the following:
 
Accrued wages and related obligations – due to related party represent accrued wages, taxes and other related items that have not yet been invoiced.
 
Due to related party represents amounts due for items that have been invoiced.  In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company and Tri-State agreed to convert these amounts to a related party loan payable and charge interest at 12% per annum.
 
Related party long-term debt represents amounts due for long-term borrowings from a related party.

Per Share Information
 
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share amounts (“EPS”).  Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS per share reflects any potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as options, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock, were exercised or converted into common stock or could otherwise cause the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings.  Such potential additional common stock is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions are adequate, actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
 
Interim Financial Information
 
The condensed consolidated financial information as of and for the three months ended December 30, 2011 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. The condensed year-end balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, and certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC; however, the Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2011, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on December 28, 2011. Certain reclassifications have been made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.
 
3. Acquisitions

In addition, ICG Inc. entered into a non-competition agreement with the principal of ICG Seller pursuant to which, the principal agreed not to compete with ICG Inc. or solicit its employees or customers for a five-year period commencing on the Closing Date, in exchange for payments by ICG Inc. of 1% of ICG Inc.’s sales revenue earned during the two year period commencing on the Closing Date.

5. Sale of Receivables

The Company’s subsidiaries, other than ICG Inc. and Accountabilities, are currently participating in trade accounts receivable purchase agreements with Wells Fargo Credit Finance, an operating division of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”). Accountabilities participated in a Wells Fargo agreement until June 13, 2011, when they entered into a similar trade accounts receivable purchase agreement with Amerisource Funding, Inc. (“Amerisource”). Under the Wells Fargo agreements, the maximum amount of trade receivables that can be sold by our participating subsidiaries in the aggregate is $50,000,000. As collections reduce previously sold receivables, the subsidiaries may replenish these with new receivables. As of December 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011, trade receivables of $45,349,000 and $35,614,000 had been sold and remain outstanding, net of amounts due from Wells Fargo totaling $4,492,000 and $4,772,000, respectively. Interest charged on the amount of receivables sold prior to collection is charged at an annual rate of the 90-day London Interbank Offered Rate plus 5.3%. Receivables sold may not include amounts over 90 days old with the exception of certain healthcare related receivables.
 
Under the terms of the agreements, with the exception of CRD permanent placement receivables, Wells Fargo advances 90% of the assigned receivables’ value upon sale, and the remaining 10% upon final collection. Under the terms of CRD’s agreement, Wells Fargo advances 65% of the assigned CRD permanent placement receivables’ value upon sale, and the remaining 35% upon final collection. The aggregate amount of trade receivables from the permanent placement business that CRD may sell to Wells Fargo at any one time is $1,250,000.
 
Interest expense charged under the Wells Fargo trade accounts receivable purchase agreements is included in interest expense in the accompanying statements of operations and amounted to $719,000 for the three months ended December 30, 2011 compared to $677,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, restated to include $171,000 for Tri-Diamond and $172,000 for TS Staffing. Tri-State and Robert Cassera have guaranteed our obligations to Wells Fargo.  Wells Fargo interest expense also included $77,000 from Accountabilities for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011.
 
The trade accounts receivable purchase agreements Accountabilities and ICG Inc. entered into with Amerisource on June 13, and October 18, 2011, respectively, have a term of two years and a maximum borrowing amount of $6,000,000 and $4,500,000 at Accountabilities and ICG Inc., respectively, with an advance rate of 90%. The agreement provides for an interest rate of the prime rate plus 1% (with a minimum rate of 6% per annum and 5% per annum at Accountabilities and ICG Inc., respectively) and a monthly collateral management fee of 0.65% and 0.60% of the average daily outstanding borrowings at Accountabilities and ICG Inc., respectively. At December 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011, there were $7,294,000 and $4,633,000 of trade accounts receivable sold that remains outstanding, respectively, net of $1,362,000 and $660,000 due from Amerisource, respectively. The Company paid Amerisource $270,000 in interest for the quarter ended December 30, 2011.

6. Related Parties
 
Commencing January 2006, TSE-PEO, Inc. (“TSE-PEO”) began providing professional employer services to the Company, and beginning in August 2010, TS Employment, Inc. (“TS Employment”) replaced TSE-PEO in providing such services. Professional employer services rendered include payroll services, administration of employee benefits, workers compensation insurance coverage and accounts receivable collection services. These arrangements allow us to reduce certain insurance risks and costs. TSE-PEO and TS Employment are affiliates of Tri-State, which is wholly-owned by Robert Cassera. The aggregate amount payable to TSE-PEO and TS Employment, due to the timing and payment of invoices received was $9,536,000 and $8,955,000 as of December 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011, respectively. The Company pays an amount equal to the actual wages and associated payroll taxes for the employee plus an agreed upon rate for workers’ compensation and health insurance. The total amount charged by TSE-PEO and TS Employment for the three months ended December 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011 was $127,935,000 and $41,301,000, respectively. These amounts are inclusive of payroll, withholding taxes, and workers compensation costs and an administrative fee. Each of TSE-PEO and TS Employment charges the Company its current market rate for services, which is consistent with the amounts that it charges its other customers. The Company also received advances from, and owed other amounts to Tri-State and affiliates totaling $11,442,000 on September 30, 2011.  On October 1, 2011, the Company and Tri-State agreed to convert this related party payable to a related party loan payable and charge each affiliate, interest at the rate of 12% per annum.  The balance of the related party loan payable was $12,522,000 as of December 30, 2011, and the Company recognized $356,000 of related party interest expense for the quarter ended December 30, 2011.

(i)
In connection with the ICG Acquisition, consummated on December 14, 2010, the Company was obligated to pay an estimated $3,641,000 which includes an agreement to pay $183,000 to Rosenthal for amounts owed to it by ICG Seller on the Closing Date, which amount was being paid in installments from January to July 2011. ICG Inc. also entered into a commission agreement with Rosenthal to replace a similar agreement that Rosenthal had with ICG Seller and its members, pursuant to which ICG Inc. is obligated to pay to Rosenthal 3% of its net sales for the next two years, and 2% of its net sales for the three year period thereafter. The Company estimates the total value of these payments to be $3,275,000, approximately $887,000 of which is estimated to be payable by December 30, 2012. Additionally, ICG Inc. entered into a non-competition agreement with the former owner of ICG Seller and its members, pursuant to which ICG Inc. is obligated to pay 1% of its net sales for the next two years. The Company estimates the value of these payments to be $533,000, approximately $250,000 of which remains and is estimated to be payable by December 14, 2012.
 
Payments aggregating $280,000 were paid against the ICG Acquisition debt during the three months ended December 30, 2011.
 
 
(ii)
On December 14, 2010,  ICG Inc. entered into a two year $4,200,000 revolving credit facility. On October 18, 2011, ICG Inc. effectively refinanced this debt by entering into a trade accounts receivable purchase agreement with Amerisource  (See Note 5).
 
 
(iii)
In connection with CRD's acquisition of certain assets of GT Systems for $3,000,000 consummated on April 5, 2010, the Company paid $750,000 at closing, with the balance of the purchase price to be paid in installments. This balance is to be paid in four quarterly installments of $250,000, and thereafter at 0.75% of revenue on a monthly basis until the earlier of payment of the full purchase price, or April 5, 2013. If, on April 5, 2013, the full purchase price of $3,000,000 has not been paid, then any remaining balance is due and payable by CRD at that time. This debt is secured by 1,934,331 shares of the Company’s common stock being held in escrow. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, as the debt is repaid the Company has the  right to repurchase these shares at the par value of $0.0001 per share.
 
 
(iv)
In conjunction with the acquisition of Cameo Personnel Systems, Inc. on April 10, 2011, the Company incurred $400,000 of debt to the seller, payable in thirty-six monthly installments of $11,108 beginning in August 2011.
 
 
(v)
In connection with the acquisition of certain assets of GT Systems, Tri-State made the initial payment of $750,000 on behalf of the Company. Payment of this amount to Tri-State is due on demand. This amount is classified as current.
 
 
(vi)
This $100,000 unsecured note is convertible into 250,000 shares of common stock at any time at the option of the holder at a specified price of $0.40 per share. Due to the failure to pay the note at maturity, the interest rate on the note has increased to 18% per annum.
 
 
(vii)
Demand loans consist of amounts due to an affiliate of a former director and officer of the Company, as well as a former director of the Company at December 30, 2010. The amounts were not subject to interest and are classified as short-term loans and are due and payable upon demand. The Company received a demand for payment of outstanding principal under this demand loan in November 2010. $48,000 of this obligation was satisfied in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011. Management is contesting the remaining amounts due under this obligation.
 
8. Stock-Based Compensation
 
In September 2007, the Board of Directors of Accountabilities adopted the Accountabilities, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under the terms of the reorganization discussed in Note 1 above, the Company has assumed the Plan and any related agreement that continued to remain outstanding pursuant to which restricted stock awards of Accountabilities’ common stock were granted. Effective October 22, 2009, our Board of Directors terminated the Plan, and as a result, there will be no further stock grants thereunder. However, any unvested stock grants outstanding at the time of the Plan’s termination will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the Plan. As of December 30, 2011, there were no shares of restricted stock that remained unvested.

Additionally, during the second fiscal quarter of 2011, we granted 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and 555,000 restricted stock units in connection with the hiring of two executive officers of the Company and 60,000 shares to two other employees of the Company.
 
Compensation expense is measured using the grant-date fair value of the shares granted and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the required vesting period. Fair value is determined as a discount from the current market price quote to reflect a) lack of liquidity resulting from the restricted status and low trading volume of our common stock and b) private placement valuations. For the three months ended December 30, 2011 and 2010, compensation expense relating to restricted stock awards was $38,000 and $28,000, respectively. As of December 30, 2011, there was $112,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost. The total fair value of the shares that vested during the three months ended December 30, 2011 was $22,000.

Overview
 
Through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Accountabilities, Corporate Resource Development Inc. (“CRD”), Insurance Overload Services, Inc. (“Insurance Overload”), Integrated Consulting Group, Inc. (“ICG Inc.”), Diamond Staffing Services, Inc. (“Diamond Staffing”) and TS Staffing, we are a national provider of diversified staffing, recruiting and consulting services, including temporary staffing services, with a focus on light industrial, clerical and administrative support and insurance related staffing. We provide our services across a variety of industries and to a diverse range of clients ranging from sole proprietorships to Fortune 1000 companies. We conduct all of our business in the United States from our New York City headquarters and the operation of 113 staffing and recruiting offices.

Our future profitability and rate of growth, if any, will be directly affected by our ability to continue to expand our service offerings at acceptable gross margins, and to achieve economies of scale, through the continued introduction of differentiated marketing and sales channels, and through the successful completion and integration of acquisitions. Our ability to be profitable will also be affected by the extent to which we are able to extinguish debt and incur additional expenses to increase our sales, marketing and administrative capabilities to expand our business. The largest component of our operating expenses is personnel costs. Personnel costs consist of salaries, employment taxes, benefits and incentive compensation (including bonuses and stock-based compensation) for our employees. Our management expects our operating expenses will continue to grow in absolute dollars as our business continues to grow. As a percentage of revenue, we expect our operating expenses to decrease as our revenues increase.
 
We have financed our growth largely through the issuance of debt as well as advances and loans from our principal shareholder and related companies, and have incurred negative working capital. As of December 30, 2011, we had negative working capital of $7,771,000, including approximately $2,094,000 in the current portion of long-term debt. The negative working capital at December 30, 2011 also includes a loan payable to a related party of $12,522,000, which is due and payable to Tri-State Employment Services, Inc. and affiliates (“Tri-State”) for costs charged by Tri-State for professional employment organization services obligations which arise and are paid in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, there is $9,536,000 of accrued wages and related costs at December 30, 2011, which were invoiced by Tri-State in January 2012 but are attributable to December 2011. In addition, as part of the acquisition of Tri-Diamond, the Company agreed to make a payment to TS Staffings predecessor, TS Staffing Corp. (“TSS Corp.”), the seller of Tri-Diamond, of $987,000 which is included loan payable to a related party as of December 30, 2011.

At December 30, 2011 accrued wages and related obligations – due to related party exceeded unbilled receivables by $840,000.  This occurred because the quarter ended during a holiday week, and the Company is obligated to pay certain temporary employees for holiday days despite the Company contractually being unable to invoice its customers for those amounts.
 
Total outstanding debt as of December 30, 2011 was $17,472,000, $108,000 of which is past due or due upon demand. In order to service our debt and maintain our current level of operations, as well as fund the costs of being a reporting company, we must be able to generate sufficient amounts of cash flow and working capital. Our management is engaged in several strategic activities, as explained further below in “Working Capital”, to effectively accomplish these objectives.
 
Mergers and Acquisitions
 
One of our key strategies is to focus on mergers and acquisitions of companies that grow or complement our existing service offerings, expand our geographic presence and/or further expand and strengthen our existing infrastructure.  

On December 14, 2010, our wholly-owned subsidiary, ICG Inc., acquired, through a public foreclosure sale, a portion of the assets of Integrated Consulting Group of NY LLC (“ICG Seller”) related to the temporary and permanent placement of employees in the light industrial industry and translation and interpreting services (the “ICG Acquisition”). The consideration for these assets included (i) the repayment of ICG Seller’s outstanding obligations on the Closing Date under its credit facility, which amounted to approximately $3.2 million, (ii) payment of up to $366,000 for outstanding accounts payable of ICG Seller as of the closing date, (iii) payments to various taxing authorities in the aggregate amount of approximately $757,000 for certain taxes owed by ICG Seller on the Closing Date, and (iv) payment of approximately $183,000 to Rosenthal, for amounts owed to it by ICG Seller on the Closing Date, which amount is to be paid in installments that commenced in January 2011. ICG Inc. also entered into a commission agreement with Rosenthal to replace a similar agreement that Rosenthal was a party to with ICG Seller and its affiliates, pursuant to which ICG Inc. is obligated to pay to Rosenthal 3% of its net sales for the next two years, and 2% of its net sales for the three-year period thereafter. In addition, ICG Inc. entered into a non-competition agreement with the principal of ICG Seller pursuant to which the principal agreed not to compete with ICG Inc. or solicit its employees or customers for a five-year period commencing December 14, 2010, in exchange for payments by ICG Inc. of 1% of ICG Inc.’s sales revenue earned during the two year period commencing December 14, 2010.
 
ICG Inc.’s payment obligations under the commission agreement and the non-competition agreement are guaranteed by Tri-State. We have accounted for this purchase using the acquisition method of accounting and the results of operations of ICG Inc. have been included in our results since December 14, 2010.

On January 31, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Tri-Diamond Staffing, Inc. (“Tri-Diamond”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among the Company, Diamond Staffing, Tri-Diamond, TS Staffing’s predecessor, TSS Corp., the former sole owner of all of the outstanding shares of Tri-Diamond, and Diamond Staffing, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tri-Diamond. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement dated January 10, 2011, Tri-Diamond merged with and into Diamond Staffing, with Diamond Staffing continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). The Merger consideration consisted of shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $25.0 million or $0.85 per share issued. The Merger was reviewed and approved by a special committee of the Board of Directors consisting of an independent director. The special committee received a fairness opinion which indicated that the purchase price paid by the Company for Tri-Diamond as well as the price per share of the Company’s common stock used to determine the number of shares to be issued, was fair from a financial point of view to the unaffiliated stockholders of the Company.

Because the Company and TSS Corp. and its affiliates were all under common control, the acquisition was recorded using the pooling of interests method as required under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Accordingly, all financial statements and financial information have been restated to reflect the combined companies as if the acquisition occurred on July 20, 2009, which is the date Tri-Diamond was acquired by TSS Corp. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

TSS Corp. was an affiliate of Tri-State and wholly-owned by Robert Cassera, a director of the Company. Following the consummation of the Tri-Diamond acquisition, Tri-State, together with its affiliated entities (including TSS Corp.) and persons, became the beneficial owner of approximately 85.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
 
On November 21, 2011, the Company entered into an Acquisition and Share Exchange Agreement (the “TS Staffing Acquisition”) with TS Staffing, a Texas corporation, and Robert Cassera, the sole shareholder of TS Staffing and a member of the board of directors of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company acquired all of TS Staffing’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in exchange for the issuance and commitment to issue an aggregate of 34,839,159 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, the number of shares, valued at $0.8611 per share, equal to $30,000,000, the agreed upon value of TS Staffing’s business operations as of November 21, 2011. An additional 38,001,402 common shares were issued by the Company in exchange for an equal number of Company shares that were held by TS Stafffing immediately prior to the TS Staffing Acquisition. These shares were cancelled upon acquisition.
 
As described above, Mr. Cassera was the sole owner of TS Staffing (and its predecessor TSS Corp.) and Tri-State, which together with its affiliated entities and persons was the beneficial owner of approximately 89.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at December 30, 2011. Because the Company and TS Staffing were both controlled by Tri-State, the acquisition was recorded using the pooling-of-interest method as required under U.S. GAAP for business combinations of entities under common control, and the financial information for all periods presented reflects the financial statements of the combined companies. See also Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Management expects acquisitions to continue to constitute a significant portion of any future growth. Completing such acquisitions with unrelated third parties, however, will likely be limited by our ability to negotiate purchase terms and obtain financing on terms acceptable to us, given our current financial position as discussed below.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-28, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) (“ASU 2010-28”). This ASU amends the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350. ASU 2010-28 clarifies the requirement to test for impairment of goodwill. ASC Topic 350 has required that goodwill be tested for impairment if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Under ASU 2010-28, when the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative, an entity must assume that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, perform an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and calculate the amount of that impairment. The modifications to ASC Topic 350 resulting from the issuance of ASU 2010-28 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company cannot presently determine what effect, if any, the application of the amendments in ASU 2010-28 may have on its financial statements.
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)—Testing
Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU 2011-08”),.  This ASU allows entities to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment.  Under ASU 2011-08, entities may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it ismore likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. ASU 2011-08 is effective for us in fiscal 2013 and earlier adoption is permitted. The Company cannot presently determine what effect, if any, the application of the amendments in ASU 2011-08 may have on its financial statements.

Results of Operations
 
The Company’s subsidiaries completed the following acquisitions in fiscal years 2011 and 2012:
ICG Inc. completed the ICG Acquisition, through a public foreclosure sale, on December 14, 2010
Diamond Staffing acquired Tri-Diamond on January 31, 2011; and
The Company acquired TS Staffing on November 21, 2011.

As a result, the results of operations of ICG Inc. are included in the results of operations for fiscal year 2011 beginning on December 14, 2010. The acquisitions of Tri-Diamond and TS Staffing have been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests by a related party, and as a result, the Company’s results of operations have been restated to include the results of operations of Tri-Diamond as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2009 and TS Staffing as if the acquisition had occurred on October 1, 2010.

Three months ended December 30, 2011 compared to three months ended December 31, 2010
 
Revenues
 
For the three months ended December 30, 2011, revenue increased $34.7 million or 27.1% to $162.5 million as compared to $127.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, which was restated to include $34.1 million in revenue from Tri-Diamond and $48.8 million from TS Staffing’s predecessor, TSS Corp. Of the increase in the third fiscal quarter of 2011, $5.8 million was attributable to ICG Inc. which was acquired on December 14, 2010 from an unrelated third party and, therefore includes only operations from that date.

Revenue attributable to Accountabilities increased by $1,014,000, or 6.1%, to $17,669,000, in the three months ended December 30, 2011, as compared to $16,655,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 2010 due to net increase in client acquisition. CRD revenues increased $298,000 or 1.6% from $18.560,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to $18,858,000 for the three months ended December 30, 2011. Insurance Overload revenues decreased from $8,050,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 to $7,479,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, a decrease of $571,000 or 7.1%. Diamond Staffing revenues increased from $34,136,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 to $54,484,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, an increase of $20,348,000 or 59.6%. Diamond Staffing’s improvement was due to strong organic growth, revenues from a new customer account and an acquisition in the second fiscal quarter of 2011 that added revenues of $8.4 million and of $3.8 million for the quarter ended December 30, 2011, respectively. TS Staffing revenues increased $7,788,000, or 16.0%, from $48,825,000 to $56,613,000 for the three months ended December 30, 2011 from the three months ended December 31, 2010 due to organic growth and a major customer added during the fiscal quarter.
 
A portion of the acquired businesses of the former GT Systems by CRD focused on permanent placement of personnel. The Company recognized approximately $0.8 million and $1.6 million in revenue in the three months ended December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, from permanent placements, primarily from CRD.

In January 2012, a sales executive from ICG Inc. and 14 other sales, administration and operations  personnel resigned from the Company and began operating a competing temporary placement firm.  The Company expects this firm will compete for ICG Inc.’s light industrial business for the foreseeable future.  Management of the Company is unable to determine the impact of this occurence on our revenue and net income at this time.  The Company is also exploring its legal options related to this event.
 
Direct cost of producing revenues
 
Tri-State provide professional employer services to the Company. Professional employer services rendered include the provision of payroll services, benefits and workers compensation insurance coverage. These arrangements allow us to mitigate certain insurance risks and obtain employee benefits at more advantageous rates. The costs of the professional employer services are included in direct cost of services.
 
For the three months ended December 30, 2011, direct cost of services increased $34.4 million or 31.7% to $142.7 million, as compared to $108.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, which was restated to include $30.1 million and $42.6 million in direct cost of producing revenues from Tri-Diamond and TS Staffing, respectively.  Prior to being acquired by the company, Tri-Diamond and TS Staffing were affiliates of Tri-State and self administered their payroll services, benefits and workers compensation insurance, resulting in lower direct cost of producing revenues in the restated periods, and increased selling, general and administrative expenses.

Of the increase for the quarter, $5,267,000 of the increase was attributable to a full quarter of ICG Inc. Direct cost of producing revenues at Accountabilities increased by $1,467,000, or 10.0% to $16,174,000 as compared to $14,707,000 in the first fiscal quarter of 2011. This increase was primarily due to the 6.1% increase in revenues described above, as well as increases in state unemployment tax rates in the state’s Accountabilities operates. CRD’s direct cost of revenues increased $540,000 or 4.0% from $13,470,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to $14,010,000 for the three months ended December 30, 2011, partially due to a 1.6% improvement in revenues as well as lower margins due to a lower mix of higher profit permanent placement revenues. Insurance Overload’s direct cost of producing revenues decreased $269,000 or 4.3% to $5,972,000 in the three months ended December 30, 2011, from $6,241,000 in the comparable period in 2010. This decrease was primarily due to Insurance Overload’s 7.1% revenue decrease for the quarter ended December 30, 2011. Diamond Staffing’s direct cost of producing revenue increased $18,474,000 or 61.4% from $30,089,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 to $48,563,000 for the quarter ended December 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to Diamond Staffing’s 59.6% revenue growth, increased payroll administration costs included in selling, general and expenses in the prior year period and increased payroll tax rates in certain states.  TS Staffing direct cost of revenues grew $8,839,000 or 20.8% from $42,578,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 to $51,417,000 for the quarter ended December 30, 2011.  The increase was caused primarily by a 16.0% increase in revenues and payroll administration costs as well as certain pre-acquistion costs that were classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the prior year period.
 
Gross profit
 
For the quarter ended December 30, 2011, gross profit increased $374,000 or 1.9% to $19,805,000 or 12.2% as a percentage of revenues compared to $19,431,000 or 15.2% as a percentage of revenues in the comparable quarter in 2010, which was restated to include $4,047,000 and $6,247,000 in gross profit from Diamond Staffing and TS Staffing, respectively. Of the increase for the quarter, $548,000 was attributable to a full quarters operations at ICG Inc. as well as revenue growth partially offset by lower gross margins. Gross profit at Accountabilities decreased $453,000 to $1,495,000 from $1,948,000 in the previous year. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit for fiscal 2011 decreased to 8.5% at Accountabilities, as compared to 11.7% in the prior year, primarily due to higher state unemployment tax rates. Gross profit at CRD decreased $242,000 or 4.8% to $4,848,000 in the three months ended December 30, 2011, compared to $5,090,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to a decrease in higher margin permanent placement revenue. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit at CRD decreased to 25.7% in the fiscal quarter ended December 30, 2011 from 27.4% in the quarter ended December 31, 2010 due to a reduction in higher margin permanent placement revenue.  Gross profit at Insurance Overload decreased $302,000 or 16.7% to $1,507,000 from $1,809,000 in the previous year primarily due to revenue decrease. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit for first fiscal quarter of 2012 decreased to 20.1% at Insurance Overload, as compared to 22.5% in the first fiscal quarter of 2010. Gross profit at Diamond Staffing increased $1,874,000 to $5,921,000 from $4,047,000 in the previous year. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit in the first quarter of 2012 decreased to 10.9% at Diamond Staffing, as compared to 11.9 % in the comparable period of 2010, due to increased payroll administration costs and increased payroll tax rates in states such as California.  Gross profit at TS Staffing decreased $1,051,000 to $5,196,000 for the quarter ended December 30, 2011 from $6,247,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, due to higher payroll administration costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
For the three months ended December 30, 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $45,000, or 0.3%, to $16,397,000, or 10.1% of revenues, as compared to $16,352,000, or 12.8% of revenues, in the same quarter of fiscal year 2010, which was restated to include $4,101,000 and $4,271,000 of expenses from Tri-Diamond and TS Staffing, respectively. The dollar increase was primarily due higher corporate administration costs, a $318,000 cost increase for a full quarter at ICG Inc. and increased selling expenses related to the increase in revenues. These increases were partially offset by to higher operating expenses at TS Staffing in restated fiscal year 2011 (part of the aforementioned payroll administration costs in direct cost of producing revenues in the current year) and non-recurring cost adjustments that decreased fiscal year 2011 costs at Insurance Overload of $980,0000.

Depreciation and amortization
 
For the three months ended December 30, 2011, depreciation and amortization decreased $68,000 to $505,000 as compared to $573,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2010, which was restated to include $213,000 and $104,000 from Tri-Diamond and TS Staffing, respectively.

Other income
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2010, CRD earned income of $40,000 under a service and collections agreement with Rosenthal, whereby the Company provided services to assist Rosenthal in collecting the outstanding receivables on behalf of the lender and its owner. CRD earned $7,000 from this on their agreement for the quarter ended December 30, 2011 but the gain was offset by miscellaneous other expenses.
 
Income from operations
 
The factors described above resulted in an increase in income from operations of $357,000, from $2,546,000, restated to include a loss  of $267,000 at Tri-Diamond and income of $1,872,000 from TS Staffing in the three months ended December 31, 2010, to $2,903,000 for the three months ended December 30, 2011.

Interest expense
 
Interest expense includes the net discounts associated with the sales of accounts receivable, as well as interest on debt associated with acquired companies and financing our operations. For the first quarter of fiscal 2012, interest expense increased $677,000 to $1,354,000 as compared to $677,000 the same period in fiscal 2011, which was restated to include $172,000 and $171,000 of interest expense from Tri-Diamond and TS Staffing, respectively. Of this increase, $54,000 was attributable to a full quarter of ICG Inc. The net increase was due to higher average account receivable balances, on increased sales volumes, and higher weighted average borrowing rates at Accountabilities with Amerisource Funding, Inc. (“Amerisource”) and the recognition of interest expense on amounts due to Tri-State and affiliates of $356,000. Substantial efforts have been and continue to be made to reduce outstanding balances on our sold accounts receivable, which in effect, reduces the interest charged on those balances.
 
Acquisitions related expense
 
Acquisition expenses for the three months ended December 30, 2011 decreased by $37,000 to $434,000 from $397,000 for the three months ended December 30, 2011. The expenses in the current quarter were due to the TS Staffing Acquisition which occurred on November 21, 2011, and the prior year amount was due to the Tri-Diamond Acquisition and other costs at TS Staffing. These expenses consisted primarily of legal and accounting fees.
 
Net income
 
The factors described above resulted in a net income of $1,152,000 for the three months ended December 30, 2011, as compared to net income of $1,435,000 in the comparable period in fiscal 2010, restated to include a loss of $439,000 at Tri-Diamond and gain of $1,642,000 at TS Staffing for the quarter ended December 30, 2010. 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash Flows
 
We have been relying on funding from related parties to supplement cash flows from operations, borrowings under debt facilities, the sale of our trade receivables prior to collection and proceeds from issuance of our common stock to satisfy our working capital requirements and to fund acquisitions. In the future, we may need to raise additional funds through debt or equity financings to satisfy our working capital, take advantage of business opportunities, including growth of our existing business and mergers and acquisitions. To the extent that funds are not available to meet our operating needs, we may have to further seek additional reductions in operating expenditures and/or increases in operating efficiencies.
 
At December 30, 2011, we had $28,000 of cash on hand, an increase of $28,000 from no cash on hand as of September 30, 2010.
 
Net cash flows used in operating activities during the three months ended December 30, 2011, were ($1.7 million) as compared to $1.4 million provided by operating activities, restated to include $502,000 and $335,000 during the same period of the prior year for Tri-Diamond and TSS Corp., respectively. This decrease of ($3.1 million) primarily reflects net cash outflows of trade accounts receivables, bad debt and due from financial institution of ($2.6 million) and accounts payables and accrued wages and related obligations due to Tri-State of ($1.0 million).  The decrease in these payables were as a result of the Tri-Diamond Acquisition and TS Staffing Acquisition.and changes in the relationship of Diamond Staffing and TS Staffing to related parties.  These outflows were partially offset by cash inflows from an a decrease in other assets of $717,000, primarily a non-recurring increase in restricted cash in the prior year period. 
 
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended December 30, 2011, increased $96,000 to ($150,000) from ($54,000) at December 31, 2011, due primarily to the purchase of  software $150,000. 
 
Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended December 30, 2011 increased by $3.1 million to $1.9 million from cash used in financing activities of ($1.2 million) during the three months ended December 31, 2010. This increase primarily was due to a net increase in loan payable – related party of $4.6 million (converted from advances from related party in the prior year period) as a result of Tri-State providing financing for operations.   In addition to this inflow, a decrease in net repayments on long-term debt, net of short term borrowings, of $371,000 was partially offset by the retirement on the asset-based facility, net of prior year borrowings, of $1.9 million. 
 
Reliance on Related Parties
 
The Company has been relying on funding from related parties in order to meet its liquidity needs, such as the debt described above. Management believes that the advantages the Company derived from obtaining funding from related parties include a quick response to funding requirements and a lack of restrictive covenants, which is often deducted from gross proceeds that would be available to the Company. Management anticipates the Company will continue to rely on related parties for its short-term financing needs, as well as other sources of funding.

Working Capital
 
As of December 30, 2011, we had negative working capital of ($7,771,000). The largest component of the negative working capital at December 30, 2011 is $9,536,000 that is due and payable to Tri-State relating to costs charged by Tri-State for professional employment organization services provided by Tri-State to us, which arise and are paid in the ordinary course of business. Other large components of the negative working capital are the current portion of long-term debt of $15,474,000, $13,380,000 of which represents the current portion of related party long-term debt. Within the current portion of long-term debt, $108,000 is past due or due upon demand as explained further below. Total outstanding debt as of December 30, 2011 was $17,472,000. The working capital deficit of ($7,771,000) as of December 30, 2011 represents a decrease in the deficit of $2,123,000 as compared to a working capital deficit of ($9,894,000) as of September 30, 2011. In order to service our debt, maintain our current level of operations and finance our growth initiatives, we must be able to generate sufficient amounts of cash flow and working capital. Our management has engaged and continues to engage in the following activities to effectively accomplish these objectives:
 
 
a)
In connection with the ICG Acquisition, Tri-State provided ICG Seller $250,000 prior to the close of the acquisition on December 14, 2010.
 
 
b)
In connection with the acquisition of Tri-Diamond, the Company agreed to make a payment of $987,000 to TSS Corp.  that was included in the loan payable to related party as of December 30, 2011.
 
 
c)
In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company agreed with Tri-State to convert amounts owed to related party to a related party loan payable that accrues interest at 12% per annum.
     
 
d)
Tri-State has provided further financial accommodations to us by allowing us to delay from time to time amounts due to Tri-State under our professional services arrangement with Tri-State’s affiliates.
 
 
e)
We are aggressively managing cash and expenses with activities such as seeking additional efficiencies in our operating offices and corporate functions (including headcount reductions, if appropriate), improving our accounts receivable collection efforts and obtaining more favorable vendor terms.
 
We believe, based on the above activities and our current expectations, that we have adequate resources to meet our operating needs through December 30, 2012. The Company’s subsidiaries, other than ICG Inc. and Accountabilities (see Note 5 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), have entered into trade account receivable purchase agreements with Wells Fargo Credit Finance. Accountabilities had participated in the Wells Fargo trade accounts until June 13, 2011, when Accountabilities entered into a similar trade accounts receivable purchase agreement with Amerisource. On October 18, 2011 ICG Inc. entered into a similar agreement.  Under the Wells Fargo agreements, the maximum amount of trade receivables that can be sold by our subsidiaries in the aggregate is $50 million. As collections reduce previously sold receivables, we may replenish these with new receivables. As of December 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011, trade receivables of $45,349,000 and $35,614,000 had been sold and remain outstanding, net of amounts due from Wells Fargo totaling $4,492,000 and $4,772,000, respectively. Interest charged on the amount of receivables sold prior to collection is charged at an annual rate of 90 day London Interbank Offered Rate plus 5.3%. Receivables sold may not include amounts over 90 days past due. Under the terms of the agreements, with the exception of CRD permanent placement receivables, the financial institution advances 90% of the assigned receivables’ value upon sale, and the remaining 10% upon final collection. Under the term of CRD’s agreement, the financial institution advances 65% of the assigned CRD permanent placement receivables’ value upon sale, and the remaining 35% upon final collection. The aggregate amount of trade receivables from the permanent placement business that CRD may sell to Wells Fargo at any one time is $1,250,000. Interest expense charged under the trade accounts receivable purchase agreements are included in interest expense in the accompanying Statements of Operations and amounted to $719,000 for the three months ended December 30, 2011 and $677,000, restated to include $171,000 for Tri-Diamond and $172,000 for TS Staffing, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  Wells Fargo interest expense also included $77,000 from Accountabilities for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011.
 
The trade accounts receivable purchase agreements Accountabilities and ICG Inc. entered into with Amerisource has a term of two years and a maximum borrowing amount of $6.0 million and $4.5 million at Accountabilities and ICG Inc., respectively, with an advance rate of 90%. The agreement provides for an interest rate of the prime rate plus 1% (with a minimum rate of 6% per annum and 5% per annum at Accountabilities and ICG Inc., respectively) and a monthly collateral management fee of 0.65% and 0.60% of the average daily outstanding borrowings at Accountabilities and ICG Inc., respectively. At December 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011, there were $7,294,000 and $4,633,000 of trade accounts receivable sold that remains outstanding, respectively, net of  $1,362,000 and $660,000 due from Amerisource, respectively. The Company paid Amerisource $270,000 in interest for the quarter ended December 30, 2011.

Interest expense for the quarter ended December 30, 2011 also included $356,000 of related party interest due to conversting amounts due to related parties to a related party loan payable bearing interest at 12% per annum.

Sales of Common Stock
 
The Company did not issue any shares of its common or preferred stock in the first fiscal quarter of 2012.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preceding discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and the rules of the SEC. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
 
The following represents a summary of the critical accounting policies, which our management believes are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and involve inherently uncertain issues that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.

Fiscal Year. Beginning on October 1, 2011, we report our operations are on a “52/53-week” fiscal year (”Fiscal Year”) ending on the Friday closest to September 30.  The Company’s fiscal quarters are the interim 13 week periods of the Fiscal Year, with the fourth quarter of a 53-week Fiscal Year extended to 14 weeks.  The differences in the Company’s Fiscal Year quarter (three month) and year end close dates and those of previous periods are not significant.

Revenue Recognition. We recognize staffing and consulting revenues when professionals deliver services. Permanent placement revenue is recognized when the candidate commences employment, net of an allowance for those not expected to remain with clients through a 90-day guarantee period, wherein we are obligated to find a suitable replacement.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from our clients failing to make required payments for services rendered. Our management estimates this allowance based upon knowledge of the financial condition of our clients, review of historical receivable and reserve trends and other pertinent information. If the financial condition of any of our clients deteriorates or there is an unfavorable trend in aggregate receivable collections, additional allowances may be required.
 
Income Taxes. We account for income taxes using the liability method. Under that method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the estimated tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. If necessary, valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized when, in management’s opinion, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The estimated provision for income taxes represents current taxes that would be payable net of the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. We evaluate the probable resolution of tax positions based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination, presuming that the tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.

Use of Estimates. 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions are adequate, actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
 
Intangible Assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not subject to amortization but are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We perform an annual impairment analysis to test for impairment. No impairment was indicated by our latest impairment analysis. Intangible assets with finite lives are subject to amortization over the period they are expected to benefit and impairment reviews are performed when there is an indication that the asset might be impaired.

Not Applicable.

Item 4.          CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 30, 2011.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to have materially affected, our internal controls over financial reporting.
