NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Nature of Business

 

Labor Smart, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 31, 2011. Labor Smart, Inc. provides temporary blue-collar staffing services. It supplies general laborers on demand to the light industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing, skilled trades’ people, and general laborers to commercial construction industries.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. Accordingly, the Company had a net loss of $1,064,508 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Additionally, the operating activities of the Company used $379,623 net cash during the same three month period. The obtainment of additional financing and increasingly profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of results in accordance with US GAAP have been included and properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC (“ASC 820-10”), fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

-6-

Level 1   Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2   Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3   Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

Pursuant to ASC 825, the fair value of cash and marketable securities is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of cash, accounts receivables, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

 

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 as follows:

 

  Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2014 Using:
    Total Carrying Value as of     Quoted Market Prices in Active Markets     Significant Other Observable Inputs     Significant Unobservable Inputs
    03/31/14   (Level 1)     (Level 2)     (Level 3)
Assets:

Total  $ 159,651    $ 0    $ 122,506    $ 37,145

 

  Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2013 Using:
    Total Carrying Value as of     Quoted Market Prices in Active Markets     Significant Other Observable Inputs     Significant Unobservable Inputs
    12/31/13   (Level 1)     (Level 2)     (Level 3)
Assets:

Total  $ 4,972   $ 4,972   $ 0   $ 0

Total  $ 99,922    $ 0    $ 20,701    $ 79,221

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with original maturities of less than 90 days. Cash equivalents are placed with high credit quality financial institutions and are primarily in money market funds. The carrying value of those investments approximates fair value.

 

-7-

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Amounts invoiced or collected in advance of product delivery or providing services are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company accrues for customer credits, bad debts, and other allowances based on its historical experience. Staffing revenue is recognized as the services are performed. Revenue also includes billable travel and other reimbursable costs and is record net of sales tax.

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

Deferred financing costs consist of costs incurred to obtain debt financing, including legal fees, origination fees and administration fees. Costs associated with the Convertible Promissory Note are deferred and amortized in our accompanying statement of operations using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of the respective financing instrument.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company, and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Factoring Agreement and Accounts Receivable

 

On July 31, 2013 the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Transfac Capital, Inc. (“Transfac”). Advances to the Company from Transfac are with recourse and are secured by assets of the Company and are treated as a secured financing arrangement. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, factored accounts receivable total $763,335 and $865,321, respectively.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company allows for an estimated amount of receivables that may not be collected. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and customer relationships. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has recorded an allowance of $168,279 and $156,297, respectively.

 

Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or fair value. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

 

Description Estimated Life
Office equipment and furniture 3 years

 

 

-8-

The estimated useful lives are based on the nature of the assets as well as current operating strategy and legal considerations such as contractual life. Future events, such as property expansions, property developments, new competition, or new regulations, could result in a change in the manner in which the Company uses certain assets requiring a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets.

 

   March 31, 2014  December 31, 2013
Office equipment and furniture  $48,466   $11,841 
Less: accumulated depreciation   (7,986)   (3,948)
   $40,480   $7,894 

 

Customer Relationships

 

Customer relationships comprise customer lists acquired from Qwik Staffing Solutions, Inc. on April 29, 2013. Customer lists are amortized on a straight-line basis over three years.

 

    March 31, 2014    December 31, 2013 
Customer lists  $294,100   $294,100 
Less: accumulated amortization   (90,245)   (66,072)
   $203,855   $228,028 

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued.

 

Convertible Debentures

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

 

Debt Discount

The Company determines if the convertible debenture should be accounted for as liability or equity under ASC 480, Liabilities — Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. ASC 480, applies to certain contracts involving a company's own equity, and requires that issuers classify the following freestanding financial instruments as liabilities. Mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, Obligations that require or may require repurchase of the issuer's equity shares by transferring assets (e.g., written put options and forward purchase contracts), and Certain obligations where at inception the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly on:

– A fixed monetary amount known at inception, for example, a payable settleable with a variable number of the issuer's equity shares with an issuance date fair value equal to a fixed dollar amount,

– Variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer's equity shares, for example, a financial instrument indexed to the S&P 500 and settleable with a variable number of the issuer's equity shares, or

– Variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer's equity shares, for example, a written put that could be net share settled.

 

-9-

If the entity determined the instrument meets the guidance under ASC 480 the instrument is accounted for as a liability with respective debt discount. The Company records debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of convertible debt (see Note 8). These costs are amortized to non-cash interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities”, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.

 

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company has issued financial instruments including senior convertible notes payable and freestanding stock purchase warrants with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by ASC 815, in certain instances, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our financial statements.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 505 and 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award. 

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached by the FASB ASC 505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-50.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.

 

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY

 

On April 25, 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement with the CEO of the Company in the amount of $175,768. This loan is payable on demand, unsecured, and bears 0% interest per annum. This loan consolidates all previous loans issued. As of March 31, 2014, $138,462 of this note has been repaid and $37,306 of this note remains outstanding.

 

-10-

NOTE 5 – PREPAID EXPENSES

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had prepaid expenses of $54,628 and $45,497, respectively. Prepaid expenses at March 31, 2014 comprises prepaid lease payments.

 

NOTE 6 – PAYROLL TAXES PAYABLE

 

On March 17, 2014, the Internal Revenue Service agreed not to take collection action against the Company for payroll tax liabilities as long the Company remains current and makes monthly installments against outstanding liabilities. The agreed monthly installments are $5,000 which increase to $10,000 on July 28, 2014 which further increase to $15,000 on July 28, 2016.

 

NOTE 7 – FACTORING AGREEMENT

 

On July 31, 2013 the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Transfac Capital, Inc. (“Transfac”).  Under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Transfac shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) worth of accounts receivable (the “Maximum Advances”) of the Company.  For each account receivable purchased, Transfac shall advance seventy percent (70%) of the face value of the account and the balance after receipt of full payment on the account.  As consideration, the Company shall pay Transfac two percent (2%) of the average monthly balance of the outstanding accounts purchased, with a minimum of one half of one percent (0.5%) of the Maximum Advances per month, as long as the Purchase and Sale Agreement remains in effect. 

 

The factoring line of credit with Transfac has been treated as a secured financing arrangement. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 under the agreement with Transfac, the Company had factored receivables in the amount of $1,041,824 and $1,281,122, respectively, and recorded a liability of $763,335 and $865,321, respectively. Discounts and interest provided during factoring of the accounts receivable have been expensed on the accompanying combined statements of operations as interest expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, interest expense related to the factoring arrangement was $69,799.

Other risks and uncertainties include such factors, among others, as market acceptance and market demand for our products and services, pricing, the changing regulatory environment, the effect of our accounting policies, potential seasonality, industry trends, adequacy of our financial resources to execute our business plan, our ability to attract, retain and motivate key technical, marketing and management personnel, and other risks described from time to time in periodic and current reports we file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the “SEC.” You should consider carefully the statements under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and other sections of this report, which address additional factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements and could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the applicable cautionary statements.

 

Overview

 

Labor Smart, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 31, 2011. We are a provider of temporary employees to the construction, manufacturing, hospitality, restoration and retail industries. We provide unskilled and semi-skilled temporary workers to our customers. Generally, we pay our workers the same day they perform the job.

 

Our mission is to be the provider of choice to our growing community of customers, with a service-focused approach, that positions us as a resource and partner for their business.

 

At March 31, 2014, we were operating 19 branches located in 11 states.

 

Seasonality

We expect our revenues to be higher and gross margin percent to be higher during the second and third fiscal quarters as compared to the first and fourth fiscal quarters each year. During the second and third quarters we received the majority of our contracts to supply labor to constructions firms. Contracts for construction work tends to be both larger in dollar amount and to be more profitable than our other contracts.

 

Growth Strategy

We have three strategies to grow the revenue and to achieve profitability for our business.

1)Add new branches
2)Growth from existing branches
3)Acquisitions. Our goal is to close one small acquisition per year. We define a small acquisition as appropriately 20% of our revenue. We will consider an acquisition that is both economical and that fits with the culture of our Company. Acquisitions are not essential to our growth strategy. We will not make acquisitions if they do not meet our criteria.

At December 31, 2013, we had 15 branches and at March 31, 2014, we had 19 branches. The increase in branches was due to three branches added through internal growth.

Cost of services was 77% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 86% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Cost of services mainly consists of payroll related and worker’s compensation expense for our laborers which was $3,502,440 or 73% and $182,789 or 4% of revenues, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $2,087,259 or 83% and $65,217 or 3% of revenues, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have funded our operations to date primarily through the sale of equity, invoice factoring, convertible notes payable and shareholder loans. Based on our current operating plan, we anticipate that we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations into the coming months. We will require additional cash to fund our operating plan past that time. If the level of sales anticipated by our financial plan are not achieved or our working capital requirements are higher than planned, we will need to raise additional cash sooner or take actions to reduce operating expenses. We are implementing plans to reduce our costs of capital and improve our revenue. If we cannot generate adequate cash by implementing these steps, we plan to obtain additional cash through the issuance of equity or debt securities. There can be no assurance that additional cash will be available or that, if available, it will be available on terms acceptable to us on a timely basis. If adequate funds are not available on a timely basis, we intend to limit our operations to extend our funds as we pursue other financing opportunities and business relationships. This limitation of operations could include reducing our planned investment in working capital to fund revenue growth and result in reductions in staff, operating costs, and capital expenditures.

 

Net cash used in operations was $379,623 during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Net cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 mainly consisted of a net loss of $1,064,508 adjusted for stock based compensation of $57,156 and interest and financing fees of $695,918.

 

Net cash used in operations was $271,092 during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 mainly consisted of a net loss of $649,143 adjusted for stock based compensation of $250,616, financing fees of $233,746, an increase of our off-balance sheet receivables factoring of $206,821, by an increase of $581,639 in accounts receivable and an increase of $244,725 in payroll taxes payable.

 

Cash used in investing activities totaled $70,145 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Net cash flows used by investing activities consists of the purchase of fixed assets of $36,625 and $21,805 in the purchase of marketable securities offset by $55,325 in proceeds from the sale of marketable securities.

Our continued capital needs will depend on branch operating performance, our ability to control costs, and the continued impact from our expansion plans in 2014.

 

Assets and Liabilities:

 

At March 31, 2014, we had total current assets of approximately $2,903,132 and current liabilities of approximately $4,945,214. Included in current assets are trade accounts receivable of approximately $1,973,334, prepaid expenses of $54,628, and deferred financing costs of $39,251. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts. We regularly review our accounts receivable for collectability. We will typically refer overdue balances to a collection agency at 120 days and the collection agent pursues collection for another 60 days. Most balances over 120 days past due are written off, as it is probable the receivable will not be collected. We wrote down $11,982 in bad debt included in S,G,&A during the three months ended March 31, 2014. As our business matures, we will continue to monitor and seek to improve our historical collection ratio and aging experience with respect to trade accounts receivable. As we grow, our historical collection ratio and aging experience with respect to trade accounts receivable will continue to be important factors affecting our liquidity.

 

Financing:

 

On July 24, 2013, the Company terminated a month-to-month financing agreement with Riviera Finance LLC (“Riviera”) that included a non-recourse factoring arrangement that provides notification factoring on substantially all of the Company’s sales. Receivables were factored at a rate of 85% of the invoice face value on accepted accounts.

 

Our total financing costs through our facility with Riviera for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $0 and $35,522, respectively, which is reflected on our Statements of Operations as a loss on sale of receivables. As collateral for repayment of any and all obligations, we granted Riviera a security interest in all our property, including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, intangible assets, contract rights, investment property, deposit accounts, and other such assets.

 

On July 31, 2013 the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Transfac Capital, Inc. (“Transfac”). Under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Transfac shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) worth of accounts receivable (the “Maximum Advances”) of the Company.  For each account receivable purchased, Transfac shall advance seventy percent (70%) of the face value of the account and the balance after receipt of full payment on the account.  As consideration, the Company shall pay Transfac two percent (2%) of the average monthly balance of the outstanding accounts purchased, with a minimum of one half of one percent (0.5%) of the Maximum Advances per month, as long as the Purchase and Sale Agreement remains in effect. 

 

-23-

Our total financing costs through our facility with Transfac for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $69,799 and $0, respectively, which is reflected on our Statements of Operations as interest and finance expense. As collateral for repayment of any and all obligations, we granted Transfac a security interest in all our property, including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, intangible assets, contract rights, investment property, deposit accounts, and other such assets.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2014, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements except for our factored receivables under our agreements with Transfac Capital, Inc. The cash received from our factored receivables finance the Company’s operating expenses and are a significant source of liquidity for the Company. For more information about the factoring terms, see “Financing” discussion above.

 

Inflation

 

Inflation has not had a material impact on our business and we do not expect inflation to have an impact on our business in the near future

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

This item is not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our company's management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both United States generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.

 

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, subject to obtaining additional financing: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

 

-24-

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
