ITEM 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

On November 9, 2012, First Rate Staffing Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into merger agreements with each of First Rate Staffing, LLC, a California limited liability company (“First Rate California”), and First Rate Staffing, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“First Rate Nevada”), in separate mergers (collectively, and together, the “Mergers”) that were concurrently completed on November 13, 2012. The purpose of the Mergers was to facilitate and prepare the Company for a registration statement and/or public offering of securities. Prior to the Mergers, First Rate California and First Rate Nevada were under common control of the same group of shareholders.

 

The Mergers were effected by the Company through the exchange of (i) all of the outstanding membership interests of First Rate California for 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, and (ii) all of the outstanding shares of First Rate Nevada for 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Accordingly, a total of 4,000,000 shares were issued in the Mergers.

 

First Rate California was formed in April 2010 in the State of California. Since its inception, First Rate California has provided recruiting and staffing services for temporary positions in light industrial, distribution center, assembly, and clerical businesses to clients in California.

 

First Rate Nevada was formed in March 2010 in the State of Nevada and is registered to do conduct business in the State of Arizona. Since its inception, First Rate Nevada has provided recruiting and staffing services for temporary positions in light industrial, distribution center, assembly, and clerical businesses to clients in Arizona.

 

As a result of the Mergers, each of First Rate California and First Rate Nevada has merged into and become a part of the Company. The Company, as the surviving entity from the Mergers, has taken over the respective operations and business plans of each of both First Rate California and First Rate Nevada.

  

Business

 

Prior to the Mergers, the Company had no significant business, operations or plan. Accordingly, the business of the Company below is that of First Rate California and First Rate Nevada, each which merged into the Company in the Mergers.

 

The Company provides recruiting and staffing services for temporary positions in light industrial, distribution center, assembly, and clerical businesses. The Company’s client customization model allows it to integrate its services to its client-specific needs and thereby providing clients with the highest level of customer service. The Company strives to devote adequate time and attention to understand both the needs of its clients and the capabilities of its employees so that the Company can identify the best suitable matches between client needs and employee abilities. The Company is dedicated to achieving a high level of service for all of its clients and considers itself to be a loyal partner to meeting client demands. In this regard, the Company seeks to position itself not only as a pool of employee for its clients, but also as a dedicated business partner that understands its clients’ businesses and needs.

 

Services provided to clients by the Company include recruiting, payroll, all state and federal taxes, worker’s compensation coverage, and screening and managing of clients’ contingent work force. The Company provides comprehensive screening and electronic verification (for federal employment eligibility requirements) for all employees. The Company also conducts reference checks of employees to ensure that the employers receive accurate and useful descriptions of employees’ backgrounds and experiences. The Company also operates a risk management department that helps client mitigate losses by implementing sound and effective risk management procedures at client sites. Clients receive these risk management services at no cost, helping them to reduce their own business risks and expenses.

 

Services

 

The Company prides itself on client customization by developing the service around its clients current operating procedures. The Company creates and maintains a fluid work environment between the client and the Company. In addition, the company also provides businesses with a high-caliber of employee available for project or permanent work. The Company listens to individual needs and customizes personnel solutions for both businesses and workers. The Company has designed an extensive service package with an emphasis on recruiting and risk management which is incorporated into its client customization model.

The Company does not apply one model to all situations, and instead maintains a fluid environment so that the Company can change as needed. Each team member is highly cross trained in all aspects of staffing. This allows each member to assist clients and employees with any situation. From operations to risk management to payroll, team members can handle client needs. Every employee is “guaranteed” from Company – meaning that if the employee does not meet the quality and/or performance standards of our client, we will refund the cost of that individual up to 8 hours.

 

Customized recruitments match client specific needs with the pool of available candidates. The Company refreshes this pool weekly, which allows the Company to provide only the best candidates in time effective manner. In addition, the Company attempts to reduce injuries and create a safer and more productive worksite, in that the Company will perform site safety evaluations, implement an early intervention program, perform safety training, OSHA Compliance, case management, claims review, back to work programs, and accident investigation.

 

Among the Company’s human resources services, the Company specifically provides each of the following specific set of services:

-Employees are thoroughly screened and tested to be sure they understand acceptable workplace practices.

-Employees are E-Verified to insure only legal workers are employed.

-Harassment and safe practices training is provided to all employees prior to hire.

-Full harassment trainings as needed by clients are also offered.

-Custom employee handbooks can be issued for specific locations.

-The Company carries out disciplinary action and employee improvement plans for workplace infractions.

 

Strategic Partners and Suppliers

 

The Company believes that strategic partnerships will be a major component of the Company’s operating strategy and path to success. The Company hopes to work with several strategic partners in important areas of its business and operations. However, currently, the Company has no such strategic partners.

 

The Company does work with several important suppliers/vendors that are important for its operations and success:

 

Arizona Bio & Safety Supply Co., LLC, located in Glendale, Arizona, provides the Company with personal protective equipment used in the Company’s operations.

 

The Company uses online recruiting sources, among other recruiting tools, including common websites, such as Careerbuilder.com.

 

Insurance is an important part of the Company’s overall operations, and Company maintains insurance for workers’ compensation matters and general liability.

 

The Company relies heavily on its software provider to manage payroll, factoring and other related human resources issues. Currently, the Company relies on Tempworks Software, but in the future, the Company may also consider other suitable software and service options.

 

Risk Management Program

 

The Company designed and created an industry-leading risk management and safety program. This program starts with the initial risk assessment of client sites. The Company’s risk management team will present a risk analysis to a new or potential client showing exposures and recommendations for correction. The Company’s risk management includes in the risk assessment proper training techniques for all employees to follow before being placed at the client site. This training incorporates the Company’s client required training as part of its customization model. Risk management also created a step by step “in case of injury” protocol to be followed which allows the Company to manage the claim from beginning to end to ensure the best possible chance that the claim remains first aid (non-recordable). If the claim does become a recordable injury, this program allows the Company to have the best possible chance to get the employee back to work and avoid litigation. The Early Intervention Nurse Program is one of the Company’s unique services that give the company a competitive edge on the competition. This program allows a medical professional to assist the employee via phone at the client site immediately when the injury occurs. First Rate Risk Management maintains relationships with all treating clinics where employees are seen in an attempt to get the clinic doctors to understand our treating philosophy.

 

Early Intervention Program: The Company contracts with Risk Solutions to provide a unique on call nurse 24 hours a day. This practice allows the Company to diagnose injuries at the site to determine the extent of the injury and if the employee needs further medical treatment. If further medical treatment is needed, the nurse provides the risk management team with valuable information so we can insure that proper treatment is being administered by our contract clinic. The risk management team provides an extensive safety program to clients free of charge. From annual risk analysis to accident investigation, the risk management team is here to support clients.

Customers

 

The Company has a diverse array of customers across sectors. Key customers include the following (each of which comprises at least 5% or more of the Company’s sales): Essentials Packaging; States Logistics; Direct Chassis; Essentials, Inc.; Phillips Industries; and Premier Packaging. The Company also has many other customers, and plans to continue to grow its customer base.

 

Marketing and Sales

 

The Company has conducted limited advertising and marketing to date to reach new clients. To date, advertising and marketing has been centered on reaching potential employees. In all locations, the Company has used multiple resources to drive in potential new temporary employees. These tactics range from advertisements in newspapers, job boards, unemployment assist centers, as well as online advertisements. The Company also utilizes CareerBuilder to recruit for professional placements.

 

The Company has, however, given substantial attention to constructing the marketing strategy and plans that it will use in order to grow its business and expand its customers. The Company eventually anticipates a significant budget and need for marketing activities. The primary focus of marketing campaigns will be designed to help the Company find new customers and to increase awareness of the Company’s services and competitive solutions. A variety of marketing approaches, emphasizing the competitive advantages and key differentiators of the Company’s services, are expected to be used in order to attract new customers and entice existing customers to do larger volumes of business with the Company.

 

The Company expects that its sales team will work closely with the marketing team to convert prospects into new customers. The sales team will be structured to align with target markets based on territory and customer patterns.

 

Operations

 

The Company requires that all potential employment candidates are required to complete an application process which screens for experience and work history. Upon completion, each candidate is interviewed by the Company’s staffing coordinators and is asked a series of questions based on the company’s local clientele's needs. The candidate is then given a sequence of competency testing to complete within an undisclosed timeframe to test for analytical and instruction following skills. At this point, the staffing coordinators make a determination to which client(s) the candidate is best suited based upon the most commonly filled positions. In the continued effort to provide the best candidates to clients, all employees are E-verified for employment eligibility. All employees are also subjected to additional testing (math and competency). The objective is to ensure that only the most qualified candidates fit current clients’ needs so that the Company can provide the highest level of service possible.

THE COMPANY

 

Employees and Organization

 

The Company presently has approximately 225 employees, consisting or approximately 175 employees in First Rate California and 50 employees in First Rate Nevada.

 

Most employees receive health benefits. The Company may offer additional fringe and welfare benefits in the future as the Company’s profits grow and/or the Company secures additional outside financing.

 

The Company considers its employees to be a prime strategic asset of its overall business and operations, and the Company strives to operate its business in a lean and cost-effective manner. The Company operates its business through the use of staffing coordinators, operation managers, sales managers, and senior management, all of which are integral to the success of the Company’s organization and operations. The Company’s model for its employment organization is based on the ratio of one employee for approximately every $1,000,000 in sales. The Company believes that this model compares favorably to an industry average based on one employee to every approximately $800,000 in sales.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

References to the financial condition and performance of the Company below in this section “Management’s Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” are to First State California and First State Nevada, respectively.

 

Revenues

 

The Company has posted revenues from operations based on its billings to, and services for, customers. Based on a combination of First Rate California and First Rate Nevada, the Company posted revenues of approximately $2.5 million during the partial-year 2010, approximately $6.1 million in the full-year 2011 and approximately $3.3 million for the first half of 2012.

 

Equipment Financing

 

The Company has no existing equipment financing arrangements.

 

6
 

 

Pricing

 

Pricing for services is dependent on several variables ranging from credit, risk exposure, payment terms, payment methods, volume, and potential for growth. Applicable pricing is specified in customer services agreements. The Company typically charges client by marking up the pay of employees or through other bill rates.

 

Potential Revenue

 

The Company expects to earn potential revenue from existing client services engagements whereby employees are placed at these clients. The Company prospects for new clients on an ongoing basis and also seeks additional revenue enhancement opportunities from existing clients.

 

Alternative Financial Planning

 

The Company has no alternative financial plans at the moment. If the Company is not able to successfully raise monies as needed through a private placement or other securities offering (including, but not limited to, a primary public offering of securities), the Company’s ability to expand and implement any part of its longer term business plan or strategy will be severely jeopardized.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires making estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2012, First Rate California had cash available of $33,126, and First Rate Nevada had cash available of $17,175.

 

The Company’s proposed expansion plans and business process improvements will necessitate additional capital and financing. Accordingly, the Company plans to raise between $2 million and $4 million of outside funding in the near future, for the purposes of funding its own accounts receivable factoring company, establishing and operating its own worker’s compensation captive unit, and acquiring competitors and complementary service providers in its sector.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company’s activities will generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations without additional capital, or if additional capital is needed, that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company. Accordingly, given the Company’s limited cash and cash equivalents on hand, the Company will be unable to implement its contemplated business plans and operations unless it obtains additional financing or otherwise is able to generate sufficient revenues and profits. The Company may raise additional capital through sales of debt or equity, obtain loan financing or develop and consummate other alternative financial plans.

Risk Factors

 

The Company has generated revenues, but limited profits, to date.

 

The Company has generated limited profits to date. The business model of the Company involves significant costs of services, resulting in a low gross margin on revenues. Coupling this fact with operating expenses incurred by the Company, the Company has only generated a small amount of total profits in the past. The Company hopes that as its business expands that the scale of the enterprise would result in a higher gross margin and net margin.

 

No assurance of continued market acceptance.

 

There is no assurance that the Company’s services or solutions will continued to meet with market acceptance. Moreover, there is no assurance that these services and solutions will continue to have any competitive advantages. Also, there is no assurance that the market reception will be positive.

 

The Company is an early-stage company with a limited operating history, and as such, any prospective investor may have difficulty in assessing the Company’s profitability or performance.

 

Because the Company is an early-stage company with a limited operating history, it could be difficult for any investor to assess the performance of the Company or to determine whether the Company will meet its projected business plan. The Company has limited financial results upon which an investor may judge its potential. As a company still in the early stages of its life, the Company may in the future experience under-capitalization, shortages, setbacks and many of the problems, delays and expenses encountered by any early-stage business. An investor will be required to make an investment decision based solely on the Company management’s history, its projected operations in light of the risks, the limited operations and financial results of the Company to date, and any expenses and uncertainties that may be encountered by one engaging in the Company’s industry.

 

The Company is an early-stage company and has little experience in being a public company.

 

The Company is an early-stage company and as such has little experience in managing a public company. Such lack of experience may result in the Company experiencing difficulty in adequately operating and growing its business. Further, the Company may be hampered by lack of experience in addressing the issues and considerations which are common to growing companies. If the Company’s operating or management abilities consistently perform below expectations, the Company’s business is unlikely to thrive.

 

10
 

 

The Company’s business depends on the ability to attract and retain qualified temporary employees that possess the skills demanded by clients, and intense competition may limit the ability to attract and retain such qualified temporary employees.

 

The success of the Company depends on the ability to attract and retain qualified temporary employees who possess the skills and experience necessary to meet the requirements of clients or to successfully bid for new client projects. The ability to attract and retain qualified temporary employees could be impaired by improvement in economic conditions resulting in lower unemployment, increases in compensation, or increased competition. During periods of economic growth, the Company faces increasing competition from other staffing companies for retaining and recruiting qualified temporary employees, which in turn leads to greater advertising and recruiting costs and increased salary expenses. If the Company cannot attract and retain qualified temporary employees, the quality of its services may deteriorate and the financial condition, business, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

 

Any significant or prolonged economic downturn could result in clients using fewer temporary employees and the other services which the Company offers, terminating their relationship with the Company, or becoming unable to pay for services on a timely basis, or at all.

 

Because demand for temporary staffing services is sensitive to changes in the level of economic activity, the Company’s business has in the past and may in the future suffer during economic downturns. Demand for temporary staffing is highly correlated to changes in the level of economic activity and employment. Consequently, as economic activity begins to slow down, it has been the Company’s experience that companies tend to reduce their use of temporary employees, resulting in decreased demand for temporary employees and the other services the Company offers. Significant declines in demand, and thus in revenues, would likely result in lower profit levels. In addition, the Company may experience pricing pressure during economic downturns which could have a negative impact on the results of operations.

 

The deterioration of the financial condition and business prospects of clients could reduce their need for temporary staffing services and result in a significant decrease in the Company’s revenues and earnings derived from these clients. In addition, during economic downturns, companies may slow the rate at which they pay their vendors, seek more flexible payment terms or become unable to pay their debts as they become due

 

State unemployment insurance expense is a direct cost of doing business in the temporary staffing industry. State unemployment tax rates are established based on a company’s specific experience rate of unemployment claims and a state’s required funding formula on covered payroll. Economic downturns have in the past, and may in the future, result in a higher occurrence of unemployment claims resulting in higher state unemployment tax rates. Due to the recent economic downturn, states have increased, and may continue to increase, unemployment tax rates to employers, regardless of the employer’s specific experience. This would result in higher direct costs to us. In addition, many state unemployment funds have been depleted during the recent economic downturn and many states have borrowed from the federal government under the Title XII loan program. Employers in all states receive a credit against their federal unemployment tax liability if the employer’s federal unemployment tax payments are current and the applicable participating state is also current with its Title XII loan program. If a state fails to repay such loans within a specific time period, employers in such states may lose a portion of their tax credit.

 

The Company is exposed to employment-related claims and costs as well as periodic litigation that could materially adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, business, and results of operations.

 

The temporary staffing business entails employing individuals and placing such individuals in clients’ workplaces. The ability to control the workplace environment of clients is limited. As the employer of record of temporary employees, the Company incurs a risk of liability to temporary employees and clients for various workplace events, including:

 

-claims of misconduct or negligence on the part of employees;

 

-discrimination or harassment claims against employees, or claims by employees of discrimination or harassment by clients or the Company;

 

- immigration-related claims;

 

-claims relating to violations of wage, hour, and other workplace regulations;

 

-claims related to wrongful termination or denial of employment;

 

-violation of employment rights related to employment screening or privacy issues;

 

-claims relating to employee benefits, entitlements to employee benefits, or errors in the calculation or administration of such benefits; and

 

-possible claims relating to misuse of clients’ confidential information, misappropriation of assets, or other similar claims.

 

11
 

 

The Company may incur fines and other losses and negative publicity with respect to any of these situations. Some of the claims may result in litigation, which is expensive and distracts attention from the operations of ongoing business.

 

The temporary staffing industry is affected by seasonal fluctuations which make management of working capital more challenging and could adversely impact the Company’s financial position and the market price of its common stock.

 

The business of the Company is seasonal in nature. Client demand for temporary staffing services is highest in the second half of a year, primarily due to demands of the holiday season. Typically, earnings are lower in the first quarter of each year than in other quarters due to reduced seasonal demand for temporary staffing services and due to lower gross margins during such period associated with the front-end loading of certain taxes associated with payroll paid to employees.

 

The Company assumes the obligation to make wage, tax, and regulatory payments for our temporary employees, and, as a result, are exposed to client credit risks.

 

The Company generally assumes responsibility for and manage the risks associated with temporary employees’ payroll obligations, including liability for payment of salaries, wages, and certain taxes. These obligations are fixed, whether or not clients make payments as required by services contracts, which exposes the Company to credit risks of clients.

 

Workers’ compensation costs for temporary employees may rise and reduce our margins and require more liquidity.

 

The Company is responsible for and pays workers’ compensation costs for regular staff and temporary employees. At times, these costs have risen substantially as a result of increased claims and claim trends, general economic conditions, changes in business mix, increases in healthcare costs, and government regulations. Although the Company carries insurance, unexpected changes in claim trends, including the severity and frequency of claims, actuarial estimates, and medical cost inflation could result in costs that are significantly different than initially reported. If future claims-related liabilities increase due to unforeseen circumstances, or if new laws, rules, or regulations are passed, costs could increase significantly. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to increase the fees charged to clients in a timely manner and in a sufficient amount to cover increased costs as a result of any changes in claims-related liabilities.

 

The failure or inability to perform under client contracts could result in damage to the Company’s reputation and give rise to legal claims against the Company.

 

If clients are not satisfied with the level of performance, the reputation of the Company in the industry may suffer, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company.

 

The Company may not successfully consummate or initiate acquisitions.

 

The ability of the Company to grow through acquisitions (s planned) will depend on a number of factors, including competition for acquisitions, the availability of capital and other resources to consummate acquisitions, and the ability to successfully integrate and train additional staff, including the staff of an acquired company. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be able to establish and expand its market presence or to successfully identify suitable acquisition candidates and complete acquisitions on favorable terms.

 

In addition to facing competition in identifying and consummating successful acquisitions, such acquisitions could involve significant risks, including:

 

-difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, services, and corporate culture of acquired companies, and higher-than-anticipated costs associated with such assimilation;

 

-over-valuation of acquired companies or delays in realizing or a failure to realize the benefits, revenues, cost savings, and synergies that were anticipated;

 

-difficulties in integrating the acquired business into information systems, controls, policies, and procedures;

 

-failure to retain key personnel, business relationships, reputation, or clients of an acquired business;

 

12
 

 

-the potential impairment of acquired assets;

 

-diversion of management’s attention from other business activities;

 

-insufficient indemnification from the selling parties for legal liabilities incurred by the acquired companies prior to acquisition;

 

-the assumption of unknown liabilities and additional risks of the acquired business; and

 

-unforeseen operating difficulties that require significant financial and managerial resources that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development or expansion of existing operations.

 

In addition, future acquisitions could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. Possible impairment losses on goodwill and intangible assets, or restructuring charges could occur. These risks could have a material adverse effect on the business because they may result in substantial costs to the Company and disrupt its business.

 

The temporary staffing industry is highly competitive with limited barriers to entry, which could limit the Company’s ability to maintain or increase our market share or profitability.

 

The temporary staffing industry is highly competitive with limited barriers to entry. The Company competes in national, regional, and local markets. Price competition in the staffing industry, particularly from our smaller competitors in local and regional markets, is intense, and pricing pressures from competitors and clients are increasing. Pricing pressure in the past has negatively impacted the Company’s results of operations. There are new competitors entering various markets which may further increase pricing pressures.

 

Clients have continued to competitively bid new contracts, and this trend is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. The Company also faces significant competition in attracting and retaining qualified personnel.

 

Client relocation of positions may have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, and results of operations of the Company.

 

Many companies have built or moved their operations or outsourced certain functions to other countries that have lower employment costs. If clients relocate positions we filled, this would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, and results of operations of the Company.

 

Reliance on third party agreements and relationships is necessary for development of the Company's business.

 

The Company will need strong third party relationships and partnerships in order to develop and grow its business. The Company will be substantially dependent on these strategic partners and third party relationships.

 

 Improper disclosure of employee and client data could result in liability and harm to the reputation of the Company.

 

The business of the Company involves the use, storage, and transmission of information about employees and clients. It is possible that security controls over personal and other data and practices that the Company follows may not prevent the improper access to, or disclosure of, personally identifiable or otherwise confidential information. Such disclosure could harm the reputation of the Company and subject the Company to liability under contracts and the laws that protect personal data and confidential information, resulting in increased costs or loss of revenue. Further, data privacy is subject to frequently changing rules and regulations, which sometimes conflict among the various jurisdictions in which the Company provides services. The failure to adhere to or successfully implement processes in response to changing regulatory requirements in this area could result in legal liability or impairment to the reputation of the Company in the marketplace.

 

The Company expects to incur additional expenses and may ultimately never be profitable.

 

The Company is an early-stage company and has a limited history of its operations. The Company will need to continue generating revenue in order to maintain sustained profitability. Ultimately, in spite of the Company’s best or reasonable efforts, the Company may have difficulty in generating revenues or remaining profitable.

 

13
 

 

The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own a majority of the Company’s common stock and, as a result, can exercise control over stockholder and corporate actions.

 

The officers and directors of the Company currently beneficially own of approximately 86% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. As such, they will be able to control most matters requiring approval by stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Company’s common stock or prevent stockholders from realizing a premium over the market price for their Shares.

 

The Company depends on its management team to manage its business effectively.

 

The Company's future success is dependent in large part upon its ability to understand and develop the business plan and to attract and retain highly skilled management, operational and executive personnel. In particular, due to the relatively early stage of the Company's business, its future success is highly dependent on its officers, to provide the necessary experience and background to execute the Company's business plan. The loss of any officer’s services could impede, particularly initially as the Company builds a record and reputation, its ability to develop its objectives, and as such would negatively impact the Company's possible overall development.

 

Government regulation could negatively impact the business.

 

The Company’s business segments may be subject to various government regulations in the jurisdictions in which they operate. Due to the potential wide scope of the Company’s operations, the Company could be subject to regulation by various political and regulatory entities, including various local and municipal agencies and government sub-divisions. The Company may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply. The Company’s operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to its business or industry.

 

A substantial portion of the assets of the Company are pledged as collateral under its factoring agreements.

 

The Company utilizes factoring in its business, and in connection therewith it pledges various assets as collateral. The lenders have a right to proceed against this collateral under certain circumstances. If the creditors were to foreclose on this collateral, such foreclosure could result in significant damage to the Company’s business, operations and relationship with key clients.

 

The Company may face significant competition from companies that serve its industries.

 

The Company may face competition from other companies that offer similar solutions. Some of these potential competitors may have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger client bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company possesses. These advantages may enable such competitors to respond more quickly to new or emerging trends and changes in customer preferences. These advantages may also allow them to engage in more extensive market research and development, undertake extensive far-reaching marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and make more attractive offers to potential customers, employees and strategic partners. The Company believes that its current and anticipated solutions are, and will be, sufficiently different from existing competition, and that there is limited to no competition in its local area. However, it is nevertheless possible that potential competitors may have or may rapidly acquire significant market share. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross margin and loss of market share. The Company may not be able to compete successfully, and competitive pressures may adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

No formal market survey has been conducted.

 

No independent marketing survey has been performed to determine the potential demand for the Company’s services over the longer term. The Company has conducted no marketing studies regarding whether its business would continue to be marketable. No assurances can be given that upon marketing, sufficient customer markets and business segments can be developed to sustain the Company's operations on a continued basis.

 

The time devoted by Company management may not be full-time.

 

It is not anticipated that key officers would devote themselves full-time to the business of the Company at the present time. Once the Company obtains additional financing or generates sufficient revenues and profits, officers may then become employed in a full-time capacity.

 

14
 

 

The Company has authorized the issuance of preferred stock with certain preferences.

 

The board of directors of the Company is authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock. The board of directors has the power to establish the dividend rates, liquidation preferences, and voting rights of any series of preferred stock, and these rights may be superior to the rights of holders of the Shares. The board of directors may also establish redemption and conversion terms and privileges with respect to any shares of preferred stock. Any such preferences may operate to the detriment of the rights of the holders of the Shares, and further, could be used by the board of directors as a device to prevent a change in control of the Company. No such preferred shares or preferences have been issued to date, but such shares or preferences may be issued at a later time, subject to the sole discretion of the board of directors.

 

The Company does not maintain certain insurance, including errors and omissions and indemnification insurance.

 

The Company has limited capital and, therefore, does not currently have a policy of insurance against liabilities arising out of the negligence of its officers and directors and/or deficiencies in any of its business operations. Even assuming that the Company obtained insurance, there is no assurance that such insurance coverage would be adequate to satisfy any potential claims made against the Company, its officers and directors, or its business operations. Any such liability which might arise could be substantial and may exceed the assets of the Company. The certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Company provide for indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons, it is the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission that such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act, and is therefore, unenforceable.

 

Intellectual property and/or trade secret protection may be inadequate.

 

The Company has not applied for any intellectual property or trade secret protection on any aspects of its business. The Company has no current plans on attempting to obtain patents, copyright, trademarks and/or service marks on any of its solutions and services. There can be no assurance that the Company can obtain effective protection against unauthorized duplication or the introduction of substantially similar solutions and services.

 

The Company is subject to the potential factors of market and customer changes.

 

The business of the Company is susceptible to rapidly changing preferences of the marketplace and its customers. The needs of customers are subject to constant change. Although the Company intends to continue to develop and improve its services to meet changing customer needs of the marketplace, there can be no assurance that funds for such expenditures will be available or that the Company's competition will not develop similar or superior capabilities or that the Company will be successful in its internal efforts. The future success of the Company will depend in part on its ability to respond effectively to rapidly changing trends, industry standards and customer requirements by adapting and improving the features and functions of its services.

1. ORGANIZATION

 

First Rate Staffing, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated on March 24, 2010 in Nevada as a C-Corporation, and is registered to do business in Arizona. The Company provides recruiting and staffing services for temporary positions for light industrial, distribution centers, assembly, and clerical to its clients in Arizona, with an option for the clients and candidates to choose the most beneficial working arrangements.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), and include all the notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2012.

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing these financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Under the terms of the Company’s bank agreements, outstanding checks in excess of the cash balances in the Company’s primary disbursement accounts create a bank overdraft liability. Bank overdrafts were $542 and $456 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Accounts Receivable and Factoring

 

Accounts receivable billed are carried at original amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful receivables by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were zero.

 

The Company entered into an accounts receivable factoring arrangement with a non-related third party financial institution (the "Factor"). Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, the Company, from time to time, shall sell to the Factor certain of its accounts receivable balances on a non-recourse basis for credit approved accounts. The Factor shall then remit 90% of the accounts receivable balance to the Company, with the remaining balance, less fees to be forwarded to the Company once the Factor collects the full accounts receivable balance from the customer. An administrative fee of 1.65% is charged on the gross amount of accounts receivables assigned to Factor, plus interest to be calculated at 0.075% per day on late invoices. The total amount of accounts receivables factored was $247,417 and $64,614 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The estimated fair value of these instruments approximates its carrying amount due to the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of due to shareholders because the transactions cannot be assumed to have been consummated at arm’s length, the terms are not deemed to be market terms, there are no quoted values available for these instruments, and an independent valuation would not be practical due to the lack of data regarding similar instruments, if any, and the associated potential costs.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. From time to time, the Company may maintain cash balances at certain institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. Historically, the Company has not experienced any losses on deposits.

The Company’s policy is to maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customer to pay. However, if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate rapidly, resulting in nonpayment, the Company could be required to provide for additional allowances, which would decrease operating results in the period that such determination was made.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is derived from providing temporary staffing services to its clients. The Company records its transactions under the accrual method of accounting whereby revenue is recognized on arrangements in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. For the six months period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company generated revenue of $825,769 and $763,892, respectively.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue consists of wages, related payroll taxes, workers compensation, and employee benefits of the Company’s employees while they work on contract assignment as temporary staff of the Company’s customers.

 

Income Taxes

 

As a result of the implementation of certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, (formerly FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109), (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined. ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes.

 

In 2010, the Company adopted Accounting for Uncertain Income Taxes under the provisions of ASC 740. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company did not recognize any additional liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the adoption of ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position.  Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740.  In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740.  Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.

 

Our tax provision determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which they are earned, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment. Income taxes payable as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was zero.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Adopted

 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard on fair value measurements that clarifies the application of existing guidance and disclosure requirements, changes certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Not Adopted

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11: Balance Sheet (topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires new disclosure requirements mandating that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Entities should provide the disclosures required retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2011-11 on the consolidated financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 

4. GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has sustained operating losses of $73,921 since inception. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to develop profitable operations, and / or obtain additional financing from its shareholders and / or other third parties. In order to address the need to satisfy its continuing obligations and realize its long term strategy, management’s plans include continuing to fund operations with cash received from financing activities. Further, the Company currently plans to start the process to become a public company in the United States to increase its visibility to potential investors.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

The Company’s accounts receivable consists of the following as of:

 

   June 30, 2012   December 31, 2011 
Account receivable  $247,417   $64,614 
Factor reserve at 10%   24,848    7,397 
    272,265    72,011 
Less: factored accounts receivable   (247,417)   (64,614)
    24,848    7,397 
Allowance for doubtful accounts   -    - 
   $24,848   $7,397 

 

6. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

During the six months period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had received capital injections from officers in the amount of $0 and $2,200, respectively.

7. RELATED PARTY

 

From time to time, the Company advances amounts to, as well as receives payments from, a related party, an affiliate company under common control by the same shareholders of First Rate Staffing, Inc., for working capital needs. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the amount due to the affiliate company is $53,580 and $23,198, respectively.

 

In the first half of 2012, the Company obtained unsecured promissory notes from a related party in the amount of $31,200. These notes are due within three year and carry annual interest rate fixed at 6%. For the six months period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, interest expense was $19 and $0, respectively. During the reporting period, there were no financial covenant requirements under the note facilities granted to the Company.

 

8. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the "liability" method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reflected on the balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized.

 

This guidance also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

Due to the existence of a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, future changes in our unrecognized tax benefits will not impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

 

As a corporation, the Company is primarily subject to U.S. federal and state income tax. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had no accruals for interest or penalties related to income tax matters.

 

The components of the provision for income taxes are summarized as follows:

 

   For the Six Months Ended 
   June 30, 2012   June 30, 2011 
Current tax provision  $-   $-

9. CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

During the ordinary course of the Company’s business, it is subject to various claims and litigation. Management believes that the outcome of such claims or litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

 

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events through September 30, 2012, the date upon which the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, the Company has determined that no subsequent events have occurred which require disclosure through the date that these financial statements were issued.

The Company entered into an accounts receivable factoring arrangement with a non-related third party financial institution (the "Factor"). Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, the Company, from time to time, shall sell to the Factor certain of its accounts receivable balances on a non-recourse basis for credit approved accounts. The Factor shall then remit 90% of the accounts receivable balance to the Company, with the remaining balance, less fees to be forwarded to the Company once the Factor collects the full accounts receivable balance from the customer. An administrative fee of 1.65% is charged on the gross amount of accounts receivables assigned to Factor, plus interest to be calculated at 0.075% per day on late invoices. The total amount of accounts receivables factored was $482,734 and $506,718 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The estimated fair value of these instruments approximates its carrying amount due to the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of due to shareholders because the transactions cannot be assumed to have been consummated at arm’s length, the terms are not deemed to be market terms, there are no quoted values available for these instruments, and an independent valuation would not be practical due to the lack of data regarding similar instruments, if any, and the associated potential costs.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. From time to time, the Company may maintain cash balances at certain institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. Historically, the Company has not experienced any losses on deposits.

The Company’s policy is to maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customer to pay. However, if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate rapidly, resulting in nonpayment, the Company could be required to provide for additional allowances, which would decrease operating results in the period that such determination was made.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is derived from providing temporary staffing services to its clients. The Company records its transactions under the accrual method of accounting whereby revenue is recognized on arrangements in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. For the six months period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company has generated revenue of $2,489,976 and $2,163,448, respectively.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue consists of wages, related payroll taxes, workers compensation, and employee benefits of the Company’s employees while they work on contract assignment as temporary staff of the Company’s customers.

 

Members’ Equity, Personal Assets and Income Taxes

 

Net income, loss, capital gains and cash distributions pertaining to the Company are allocated to its members in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s operating agreements. The operating agreements provide that all items of net income, loss, capital gain and cash distributions be allocated among the members based upon their respective percentage interest. There is only one class of members’ interest, whose rights are governed and set forth in the operating agreements.

 

In accordance with the generally accepted method of presenting limited liability company financial statements, the financial statements do not include the personal assets and liabilities of the members, including their obligation for income taxes on their distributive shares of net income of the LLCs, or any provision for federal income taxes.

 

The Company is taxed as a limited liability company (“LLC”) under the provisions of federal and state tax codes. Under federal laws, taxes based on income of a limited liability company are payable by the LLC members individually. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. A provision for California franchise tax has been recorded in costs and expenses in the accompanying financial statements at a statutory amount based on gross receipts under California laws.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Adopted

 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard on fair value measurements that clarifies the application of existing guidance and disclosure requirements, changes certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Not Adopted

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11: Balance Sheet (topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires new disclosure requirements mandating that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Entities should provide the disclosures required retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2011-11 on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

First Rate Staffing, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of First Rate Staffing, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the period from March 24, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to the above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Rate Staffing, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the period from March 24, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $57,884 from inception to December 31, 2011. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

First Rate Staffing, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated on March 24, 2010 in Nevada as a C-Corporation, and is registered to do business in Arizona. The Company provides recruiting and staffing services for temporary positions for light industrial, distribution centers, assembly, and clerical to its clients in Arizona, with an option for the clients and candidates to choose the most beneficial working arrangements.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying audited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and include all the notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation of the financial statements have been included.

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing these financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. Under the terms of the Company’s bank agreements, outstanding checks in excess of the cash balances in the Company’s primary disbursement accounts create a bank overdraft liability. Bank overdrafts were $456 and $1,504 at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

FIRST RATE STAFFING, INC.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Accounts Receivable and Factoring

 

Accounts receivable billed are carried at original amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful receivables by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 are zero.

 

The Company entered into an accounts receivable factoring arrangement with a non-related third party financial institution (the "Factor"). Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, the Company, from time to time, shall sell to the Factor certain of its accounts receivable balances on a non-recourse basis for credit approved accounts. The Factor shall then remit 90% of the accounts receivable balance to the Company, with the remaining balance, less fees to be forwarded to the Company once the Factor collects the full accounts receivable balance from the customer. An administrative fee of 1.65% is charged on the gross amount of Accounts Receivables assigned to Factor, plus interest to be calculated at 0.075% per day on late invoices. The total amount of accounts receivables factored was $64,614 and $70,842 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The estimated fair value of these instruments approximates its carrying amount due to the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of due to shareholders because the transactions cannot be assumed to have been consummated at arm’s length, the terms are not deemed to be market terms, there are no quoted values available for these instruments, and an independent valuation would not be practical due to the lack of data regarding similar instruments, if any, and the associated potential costs.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. From time to time, the Company may maintain cash balances at certain institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. Historically, the Company has not experienced any losses on deposits.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

The Company’s policy is to maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customer to pay. However, if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate rapidly, resulting in nonpayment, the Company could be required to provide for additional allowances, which would decrease operating results in the period that such determination was made.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is derived from providing temporary staffing services to its clients. The Company records its transactions under the accrual method of accounting whereby revenue is recognized on arrangements in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. For the year ended December 31, 2011 and the period from March 24, 2010 (Inception) to December 31, 2010, the Company generated revenue of $1,324,497 and $685,346, respectively.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue consists of wages, related payroll taxes, workers compensation, and employee benefits of the Company’s employees while they work on contract assignment as temporary staff of the Company’s customers.

 

Income Taxes

 

As a result of the implementation of certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, (formerly FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109), (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined. ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes.

 

In 2010, the Company adopted Accounting for Uncertain Income Taxes under the provisions of ASC 740. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company did not recognize any additional liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the adoption of ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

FIRST RATE STAFFING, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position.  Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740.  In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740.  Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.

 

Our tax provision determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which they are earned, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment. Income taxes payable as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 was zero.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued amended standards that require additional fair value disclosures. These disclosure requirements are effective in two phases. In the first quarter of 2010, we adopted the requirements for disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value as well as disclosures about significant transfers. Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, these amended standards will require presentation of disaggregated activity within the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). These amended standards do not have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures.

 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard on fair value measurements that clarifies the application of existing guidance and disclosure requirements, changes certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this accounting guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 

4. GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has sustained operating losses of $57,884 since inception. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to develop profitable operations, and / or obtain additional financing from its shareholders and / or other third parties.

 

Page 9The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.
 

 

FIRST RATE STAFFING, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 

4. GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED)

 

In order to address the need to satisfy its continuing obligations and realize its long term strategy, management’s plans include continuing to fund operations with cash received from financing activities. Further, the Company currently plans to start the process to become a public company in the United States to increase its visibility to potential investors.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

The Company’s accounts receivable consists of the following as of:

 

   December 31

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the "liability" method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reflected on the balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized. This guidance also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

Due to the existence of a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, future changes in our unrecognized tax benefits will not impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

 

As a corporation, the Company is primarily subject to U.S. federal and state income tax. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no accruals for interest or penalties related to income tax matters.

 

The components of the provision for income taxes are summarized as follows:

 

       For the period from March 
   For the year ended   24, 2010 (Inception) to 
   December 31, 2011   December 31, 2010 
Current tax provision  $45   $- 
Deferred tax provision   -    - 
   $45   $- 

 

The following reconciles income taxes reported in the financial statements to taxes that would be obtained by applying regular tax rates to income before taxes:

 

   December 31 
   2011   2010 
Expected tax benefit using regular rates  $16,863   $6,272 
Valuation allowance   (16,863)   (6,272)
   $-   $-

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and Members of

First Rate Staffing, LLC:

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of First Rate Staffing, LLC (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the period from April 2, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to the above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Rate Staffing, LLC as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the period from April 2, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

First Rate Staffing, LLC (the “Company”), was formed on April 2, 2010 as a limited liability company in California. The Company provides recruiting and staffing services for temporary positions for light industrial, distribution centers, assembly, and clerical to its clients in California, with an option for the clients and candidates to choose the most beneficial working arrangements.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying audited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and include all the notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation of the financial statements have been included.

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing these financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. Under the terms of the Company’s bank agreements, outstanding checks in excess of the cash balances in the Company’s primary disbursement accounts create a bank overdraft liability. Bank overdrafts were $13,468 and $9,398 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Accounts Receivable and Factoring

 

Accounts receivable billed are carried at original amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful receivables by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 are $29,824 and $0, respectively.

 

The Company entered into an accounts receivable factoring arrangement with a non-related third party financial institution (the "Factor"). Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, the Company, from time to time, shall sell to the Factor certain of its accounts receivable balances on a non-recourse basis for credit approved accounts. The Factor shall then remit 90% of the accounts receivable balance to the Company, with the remaining balance, less fees to be forwarded to the Company once the Factor collects the full accounts receivable balance from the customer. An administrative fee of 1.65% is charged on the gross amount of Accounts Receivables assigned to Factor, plus interest to be calculated at 0.075% per day on late invoices. The total amount of accounts receivables factored was $506,718 and $355,648 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The estimated fair value of these instruments approximates its carrying amount due to the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of due to shareholders because the transactions cannot be assumed to have been consummated at arm’s length, the terms are not deemed to be market terms, there are no quoted values available for these instruments, and an independent valuation would not be practical due to the lack of data regarding similar instruments, if any, and the associated potential costs.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. From time to time, the Company may maintain cash balances at certain institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. Historically, the Company has not experienced any losses on deposits.

FIRST RATE STAFFING, LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

The Company’s policy is to maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customer to pay. However, if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate rapidly, resulting in nonpayment, the Company could be required to provide for additional allowances, which would decrease operating results in the period that such determination was made.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is derived from providing temporary staffing services to its clients. The Company records its transactions under the accrual method of accounting whereby revenue is recognized on arrangements in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. For the year ended December 31, 2011 and the period from April 2, 2010 (Inception) to December 31, 2010, the Company generated revenue of $4,774,545 and $1,813,577, respectively.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue consists of wages, related payroll taxes, workers compensation, and employee benefits of the Company’s employees while they work on contract assignment as temporary staff of the Company’s customers.

 

Members’ Equity, Personal Assets and Income Taxes

 

Net income, loss, capital gains and cash distributions pertaining to the Company are allocated to its members in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s operating agreements. The operating agreements provide that all items of net income, loss, capital gain and cash distributions be allocated among the members based upon their respective percentage interest. There is only one class of members’ interest, whose rights are governed and set forth in the operating agreements.

 

In accordance with the generally accepted method of presenting limited liability company financial statements, the financial statements do not include the personal assets and liabilities of the members, including their obligation for income taxes on their distributive shares of net income of the LLCs, or any provision for federal income taxes.

 

The Company is taxed as a limited liability company (“LLC”) under the provisions of federal and state tax codes. Under federal laws, taxes based on income of a limited liability company are payable by the LLC members individually. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. A provision for California franchise tax has been recorded in costs and expenses in the accompanying financial statements at a statutory amount based on gross receipts under California laws.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued amended standards that require additional fair value disclosures. These disclosure requirements are effective in two phases. In the first quarter of 2010, we adopted the requirements for disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value as well as disclosures about significant transfers. Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, these amended standards will require presentation of disaggregated activity within the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). These amended standards do not have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures.

 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard on fair value measurements that clarifies the application of existing guidance and disclosure requirements, changes certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this accounting guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
