NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

BG Staffing, Inc. is a provider of temporary staffing services that operates, along with its wholly owned subsidiaries BG Staffing, LLC, B G Staff Services Inc., BG Personnel, LP and BG Finance and Accounting, Inc. (“BGFA”) (collectively, the “Company”), primarily within the United States of America in three industry segments: Multifamily, Professional, and Commercial.

The Multifamily segment provides front office and maintenance temporary workers to various apartment communities, in 18 states, via property management companies responsible for the apartment communities' day to day operations.

The Professional segment provides skilled temporary workers on a nationwide basis for information technology ("IT") customer projects, and finance and accounting needs in Texas and Louisiana.

The Commercial segment provides temporary workers primarily to logistics, distribution, and call center customers needing a flexible workforce in Illinois, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Texas, Tennessee and Mississippi.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and operating results of the Company as of and for the respective periods. However, these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full fiscal year or any other future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, management of the Company believes, to the best of their knowledge, that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Company has determined that there were no subsequent events that would require disclosure or adjustments to the accompanying consolidated financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2015, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal Periods

The Company has a 52/53 week fiscal year. Fiscal periods for the consolidated financial statements included herein are as of September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015, and include the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2015 financial statements to conform with the 2016 presentation.

Management Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates affecting the financial statements include goodwill, intangible assets and contingent consideration obligations related to acquisitions and put option valuation.

BG Staffing, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Financial Instruments

The Company uses fair value measurements in areas that include, but are not limited to: the allocation of purchase price consideration to tangible and identifiable intangible assets, contingent consideration and put option liability. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable, and other current assets and liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the bank debt approximates fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rates under the credit agreement with Texas Capital Bank, National Association (“TCB”) that provides for a revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”) and current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and risk.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of credit risk is limited due to the Company's diverse customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographic locations nationwide. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015 or revenue for the thirty-nine week periods ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015. Geographic revenue in excess of 10% of the Company's consolidated revenue was generated in the following areas:



	Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
	September 25, 2016		September 27, 2015
North Carolina	10	%	12	%
Maryland	13	%	—	%
Rhode Island	14	%	19	%
Texas	32	%	43	%

Consequently, weakness in economic conditions in these regions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of future operations.

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Accounts receivable represents unpaid balances due from customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers’ non-payment of balances due to the Company. The Company’s determination of the allowance for uncollectible amounts is based on management’s judgments and assumptions, including general economic conditions, portfolio composition, prior loss experience, evaluation of credit risk related to certain individual customers and the Company’s ongoing examination process. Receivables are written off after they are deemed to be uncollectible after all means of collection have been exhausted. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received.

Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows:



	Thirteen Weeks Ended						Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
	September 25, 2016			September 27, 2015			September 25, 2016			September 27, 2015
Beginning balance	$	449,823		$	812,964		$	446,548		$	748,187
Provision for doubtful accounts	162,612			146,291			209,528			371,953
Amounts written off, net	(162,612		)	(219,395		)	(206,253		)	(380,280		)
Ending balance	$	449,823		$	739,860		$	449,823		$	739,860

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated net of accumulated depreciation and amortization of $1,170,445 and $859,274 at September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, primarily fixed assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. The Company looks primarily to the undiscounted future cash flows in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets have been impaired. There were no impairments during 2016 and 2015.

Intangible Assets

The Company holds intangible assets with indefinite and finite lives. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, ranging from three to five years, based on a pattern in which the economic benefit of the respective intangible asset is realized.

The Company annually evaluates the remaining useful lives of all intangible assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is evaluated at the reporting unit level for impairment annually at the end of each fiscal year, or more frequently, if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary. If the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value for one or more reporting units is greater than their carrying value, the Company may use a qualitative assessment for the annual impairment test.

Deferred Rent

The Company recognizes rental expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the agreement. Deferred rent is recognized as the difference between cash payments and rent expense, including any landlord incentives.

Paid-in-kind Interest

The Company records paid-in-kind interest on a monthly basis to accrued interest. The first month following a quarter, the paid-in-kind accrued interest is reclassed to the related debt principal if not paid.

Deferred Financing Fees

Deferred financing charges are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the respective loans. Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability.

Contingent Consideration

The Company has obligations, to be paid in cash, related to its acquisitions if certain future operating and financial goals are met. The fair value of this contingent consideration is determined using expected cash flows and present value technique. The calculation of the fair value of the expected future payments uses a discount rate that approximates the Company's weighted average cost of capital.

BG Staffing, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Put Option

The Company granted a put option to certain holders of equity in BG Staffing, Inc., which was carried at fair market value in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Prior to second quarter 2015, the liability was revalued at each balance sheet date at the greater of an adjusted earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization method or the fair market value. During third quarter 2015, the liability calculation of fair market value was based on the closing price of the Company's stock. Changes in fair value are recorded as non-cash, non-operating income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In October 2015, the remaining shares were sold that contained the put right to third parties, which caused the put rights on those shares to expire.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenues from three segments: Multifamily, Professional, and Commercial. The Company provides temporary and consultant staffing and permanent placement services. Revenues as presented on the consolidated statements of operations represent services rendered to customers less sales adjustments and allowances. Reimbursements, including those related to out-of-pocket expenses, are also included in revenues, and equivalent amounts of reimbursable expenses are included in cost of services.

The Company and its customers enter into agreements that outline the general terms and conditions of the staffing arrangement. Revenue is recognized as services are performed and associated costs have been incurred. The Company records revenue on a gross basis as a principal versus on a net basis as an agent in the presentation of revenues and expenses. The Company has concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because the Company (i) has the risk of identifying and hiring qualified workers, (ii) has the discretion to select the workers and establish their price and duties and (iii) bears the risk for services that are not fully paid for by customers.

Temporary and consultant staffing revenues - Temporary and consultant staffing revenues are recognized when the services are rendered by the Company’s temporary workers or consultants. The Company assumes the risk of acceptability of its workers to its customers.

Permanent placement staffing revenues - Permanent placement staffing revenues are recognized when employment candidates accept offers of permanent employment. The Company estimates the effect of permanent placement candidates who do not remain with its customers through the guarantee period (generally 90 days) based on historical experience. Allowances are established to estimate these losses. Fees to customers are generally calculated as a percentage of the new worker’s annual compensation. No fees for permanent placement services are charged to employment candidates.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses over the service period for options that are expected to vest and records adjustments to compensation expense at the end of the service period if actual forfeitures differ from original estimates.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities. Antidilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share.

Income Taxes

The current provision for income taxes represents estimated amounts payable or refundable on tax returns filed or to be filed for the year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts are classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. The overall change in deferred tax assets and liabilities for the period measures the deferred tax expense or benefit for the period. Effects of changes in enacted tax laws on deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected as adjustments to tax expense in the period of enactment. The Company recognizes any penalties and interest when necessary as part of selling, general and administrative expenses.

When appropriate, we record a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets to offset future tax benefits that may not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is appropriate, we consider whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized, based in part upon management’s judgments regarding future events and past operating results.

The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a more-likely-than-not measurement methodology to reflect the financial statement impact of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Income tax expense attributable to income from operations for 2016 differed from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes primarily as a result of state taxes and permanent differences related to share-based compensation.

Income tax expense attributable to income from operations for 2015 differed from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes primarily as a result of state taxes, permanent differences related to share-based compensation, and the fair value of the put option adjustment.

NOTE 6 - DEBT

On August 21, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with TCB. The Credit Agreement provides for the Revolving Facility maturing August 21, 2019 permitting the Company to borrow funds from time to time in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of the borrowing base amount, which is 85% of eligible accounts, and TCB’s commitment of $25.0 million. The Company's obligations are secured by a first priority security interest in all assets of the Company.

Effective September 21, 2016, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company obtained an additional $10.0 million in credit commitments from TCB pursuant to a Commitment Increase Agreement, raising TCB's total commitment under the Credit Agreement to $35.0 million. All other terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement remain the same as those in effect prior to the increase.

On August 21, 2015, the Company also entered into a senior subordinated credit agreement (the “Senior Subordinated Credit Agreement”) with Patriot Capital III SBIC, L.P. and Patriot Capital III, L.P. (together, “PC Subordinated Debt”), pursuant to which the foregoing lenders made term loans of $14,250,000 and $750,000, respectively, with a maturity date of February 21, 2020. Interest accrued at a rate of 13% per annum (with at least 10% paid in cash quarterly and the remainder in cash or PIK interest added to the principal amount of the term loans). Prepayment of the loans prior to maturity was subject to an early repayment fee. The Company's obligations were secured by a security interest in all assets of the Company.

Proceeds from the foregoing loan arrangements were used to pay off existing indebtedness of the Company under the Fifth Third Bank senior credit facility described below.

Proceeds from the June 2016 common stock issuance (See Note 9) were used to pay off outstanding amounts under the Senior Subordinated Credit Agreement, $404,119 was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt, and a 2% repayment fee was recorded in interest expense in the second quarter 2016.

On January 29, 2014, the Company amended the senior credit facility, which provided for a revolving line of credit of $20.0 million, increased the original principal amount of the term loan facility from $7.1 million to $11.3 million and added $8.0 million of subordinated debt (“Term Loan B”).

In connection with the acquisition of the assets of D&W (see Note 3) on February 23, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment with its lenders under senior credit facility to add BGFA as an additional borrower under the agreement and increased the borrowing base amount from 80% to 85% of eligible receivables.

Line of Credit

At September 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015, $19.3 million and $16.2 million, respectively, was outstanding on the Revolving Facility with TCB. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest equal to (i) Base Rate (the higher of Prime Rate, Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, or LIBOR plus 1.0%) plus 0.5% or (ii) LIBOR plus 3.25%. Additionally, the Company pays an unused commitment fee of 0.25% on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Facility.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bore interest as follows:



	September 25, 2016				December 27, 2015
Base Rate	$	5,258,612	4.00	%	$	6,217,000	4.00	%

In addition, the Company must comply with certain financial covenants, including minimum debt service coverage ratio, minimum current ratio and maximum leverage ratio. As of September 25, 2016, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The accounting standard for fair value measurements defines fair value, and establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value. The standard is applicable whenever assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. The fair value hierarchy established in the standard prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels as follows:

Level 1 - Observable inputs - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities - includes quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets, and amounts derived from valuation models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs - includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable and require us to develop relevant assumptions.

The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level they fall within the fair value hierarchy:

In connection with the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of InStaff Holding Corporation and InStaff Personnel, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of InStaff Holding Corporation (collectively, “InStaff”), the Company granted a put option to certain holders of equity in BG Staffing, Inc. The liability was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 during the third quarter 2015 due to an increased active market. In October 2015, the remaining shares were sold that contained the put right to third parties, which caused the put rights on those shares to expire.

NOTE 8 - CONTINGENCIES

The Company is engaged from time to time in legal matters and proceedings arising out of its normal course of business. The Company establishes a liability related to its legal proceedings and claims when it has determined that it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and the related amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that an obligation is reasonably possible, the Company will, if material, disclose the nature of the loss contingency and the estimated range of possible loss, or include a statement that no estimate of the loss can be made.

The Company is not currently a party to any material litigation; however, in the ordinary course of our business the Company is periodically threatened with or named as a defendant in various lawsuits or actions. The principal risks that the Company insures against, subject to and upon the terms and conditions of various insurance policies, are workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability, property damage, professional liability, employment practices, fiduciary liability, fidelity losses and director and officer liability.

Under the Company's bylaws, the Company’s directors and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Company. The Company also has an insurance policy for our directors and officers to insure them against liabilities arising from the performance of their positions with the Company or its subsidiaries. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain officers.

Overview

We are a leading national provider of temporary staffing services and have completed a series of acquisitions including the acquisition of BG Personnel, LP and B G Staff Services Inc. in June 2010, and substantially all of the assets of JNA Staffing, Inc. in December 2010, Extrinsic, LLC in December 2011, American Partners, Inc. in December 2012, InStaff in June 2013, D&W in March 2015 and VTS in October 2015. We operate within three industry segments: Multifamily, Professional, and Commercial. We provide services to customers primarily within the United States of America.

The Professional segment provides skilled temporary workers on a nationwide basis for information technology ("IT") customer projects, and finance and accounting needs in Texas and Louisiana.

	Total Revenues	$	67,407	100.0	%	$	60,171	100.0	%

Multifamily Revenues: Multifamily revenues increased approximately $4.8 million (34.2%), due to our continued focus on expansion outside of Texas. Revenue from branches outside of Texas accounted for approximately $4.2 million of the increase and revenue from branches in Texas increased approximately $0.6 million. The increase was due to a 28.8% increase in billed hours and a 4.0% increase in average bill rate.

Professional Revenues: Professional revenues increased approximately $3.6 million (16.5%), primarily from the VTS acquisition, which contributed approximately $8.0 million of new revenues. The increase was offset by a decrease of $4.4 million in the remaining segment due to an 18.6% decrease in billed hours and a 1.1% decrease in average bill rate.

Commercial Revenues: Commercial revenues decreased approximately $1.2 million (5.1%), primarily from branches in Illinois, Wisconsin and Texas. Illinois and Wisconsin locations decreased $0.7 million, Texas branches decreased revenues $0.6 million, and other branches outside of the Midwest increased $0.1 million. The overall revenue decrease was due to a 9.7% decrease in billed hours, offset by a 4.6% increase in average bill rate.

Gross Profit:

Gross profit represents revenues from services less cost of services expenses, which consist of payroll, payroll taxes, payroll-related insurance, temporary worker costs, and reimbursable costs.

	Company Gross Profit Percentage	24.4	%	23.0	%

Overall, our gross profit has increased approximately $2.5 million (18.6%) due primarily to the VTS ($2.1 million) acquisition and increased revenues in our Multifamily segment. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit has increased to 24.4% from 23.0% primarily due to higher revenues in our Multifamily and Professional segments.

Multifamily Gross Profit: Multifamily gross profit increased approximately $2.0 million (40.5%) mainly due to an increase in revenue. The increase in gross profit percentage of 1.7% was due primarily to 6.2% increase in average spread.

Professional Gross Profit: Professional gross profit increased approximately $0.8 million (14.2%) due primarily to the VTS acquisition of $2.1 million with a gross profit of 25.5%. This increase was offset by a decrease in gross profit of $0.8 million with a gross profit percentage decrease of 6.1% in the finance and accounting group due to an 11% decrease in average spread. The IT group decreased gross profit $0.5 million with a gross profit percentage increase of 0.8% due to a 1.2% increase in average spread.

Commercial Gross Profit: Commercial gross profit decreased approximately $0.2 million (6.3%) due to decreased revenue. The decrease in gross profit percentage of 0.2% is primarily due to a 9.7% decrease in billed hours, offset by a 1.7% increase in average spread.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $2.6 million (33.6%) primarily due to the VTS acquisition of $1.1 million, increased headcount, commissions and bonuses, and other cost associated with our growth.

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization charges increased approximately $0.4 million (29.4%). The increase in depreciation and amortization is primarily due to Professional segment intangible assets acquired in the VTS acquisition in October 2015.

Interest Expense, net: Interest expense, net was relatively consistent due to a decrease in the interest of $0.4 million under our debt from the payoff of the subordinated loan balance, which included a 2% repayment fee and the increase in the amortization of contingent consideration discounts of $0.4 million from the VTS acquisition.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense decreased approximately 1.7% primarily due to higher taxable income offset by a decrease in the effective rate.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present Adjusted EBITDA (defined below), a measure that is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP), in this Quarterly Report to provide investors with a supplemental measure of our operating performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure and is used by us to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under GAAP can provide alone. Our board and management also use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expected performance and for evaluating on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such expectations, and as a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain compensation programs and plans for company management. In addition, certain financial covenants in our Credit Agreement (as defined below) are based on this measure.

We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and other non-cash expenses such as the put option adjustment, loss on extinguishment of debt, and share-based compensation expense. Omitting interest, taxes and the other items provides a financial measure that facilitates comparisons of our results of operations with those of companies having different capital structures. Since the levels of indebtedness and tax structures that other companies have are different from ours, we omit these amounts to facilitate investors’ ability to make these comparisons. Similarly, we omit depreciation and amortization because other companies may employ a greater or lesser amount of property and

intangible assets. We also believe that investors, analysts and other interested parties view our ability to generate Adjusted EBITDA as an important measure of our operating performance and that of other companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the periods indicated as a measure of our performance. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

The use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from, or as an alternative to, GAAP measures such as net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity under GAAP or otherwise, and is not an alternative to cash flow from continuing operating activities. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by the expenses that are excluded from that term or by unusual or non-recurring items. The limitations of Adjusted EBITDA include: (i) it does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (ii) it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (iii) it does not reflect income tax payments we may be required to make; and (iv) it does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments associated with indebtedness.

To properly and prudently evaluate our business, we encourage you to review our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and the reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA from net income, the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP, set forth in the following table. All of the items included in the reconciliation from net income to Adjusted EBITDA are either (i) non-cash items or (ii) items that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance. In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors may find it useful to assess our comparative operating performance because the measures without such items are less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges and more reflective of other factors that affect operating performance. In the case of the other items that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance, management believes that investors may find it useful to assess our operating performance if the measures are presented without these items because their financial impact may not reflect on-going operating performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital requirements are primarily driven by temporary worker payments and customer accounts receivable receipts. Since receipts from customers lag payments to temporary workers, working capital requirements increase substantially in periods of growth.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Texas Capital Bank, National Association (“TCB”) that provides for a revolving credit facility maturing August 21, 2019 (the “Revolving Facility”). Our primary uses of cash are payments to temporary workers, operating expenses, capital expenditures, cash interest, cash taxes, dividends and contingent consideration payments. We believe that the cash generated from operations, together with the borrowing availability under our Revolving Facility, will be sufficient to meet our normal working capital needs for at least the next twelve months, including investments made, and expenses incurred, in connection with opening new branches throughout the next year. Our ability to continue to fund these items may be affected by general economic, competitive and other factors, many of which are outside of our control. If our future cash flow from operations and other capital resources are insufficient to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to obtain additional debt or equity capital or refinance all or a portion of our debt.

While we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our current operating requirements and expansion plans, we may elect to pursue additional growth opportunities within the next year that could require additional debt or equity financing. If we are unable to secure additional financing at favorable terms in order to pursue such additional growth opportunities, our ability to pursue such opportunities could be materially adversely affected.

The Company has an effective Form S-3 shelf registration statement allowing for the offer and sale of up to approximately $34 million of common stock. There is no guarantee that we will be able to consummate any offering on terms we consider acceptable or at all.

A summary of our operating, investing and financing activities are shown in the following table:



	Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
	September 25, 2016			September 27, 2015
	(dollars in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	7,112		$	5,895

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(6,501		)	3,460
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	—		$	65

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities consists of net income adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, put option adjustment, interest expense on contingent consideration payable, and the effect of working capital changes. The primary drivers of cash inflows and outflows are accounts receivable and accrued payroll and expenses.

During the thirty-nine week period ended September 25, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $7.1 million an increase of $1.2 million compared with $5.9 million for the corresponding period in 2015. This increase is primarily attributable to the timing of payments on accounts receivables and accrued payroll and expenses.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities consists primarily of cash paid for businesses acquired and capital expenditures.

In the thirty-nine week period ended September 25, 2016, we made capital expenditures of $0.6 million mainly related to computer equipment purchased in the ordinary course of business. In the thirty-nine week period ended September 27, 2015, we paid $8.8 million in connection with the D&W acquisition and we made capital expenditures of approximately $0.5 million mainly related to computer equipment purchased in the ordinary course of business and furniture and fixtures related to the new corporate offices.

Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities consisted principally of borrowings and payments under our Revolving Facility, payment of other long-term obligations, stock sales and contingent consideration paid.

For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2016, we increased our borrowings on our revolving line of credit by $3.0 million and received net proceeds from issuance of common stock of $15.3 million mainly to pay off amounts owing under the Senior Subordinated Credit Agreement of $15.3 million. We also paid $5.9 million in cash dividends on our common stock and $3.5 million of contingent consideration related to the fiscal March 2015 D&W acquisition.

For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2015, we increased our borrowings under our revolving line of credit by $4.9 million and received proceeds from issuance of common stock of $7.0 million mainly to fund the D&W acquisition. We paid $4.6 million in cash dividends on our common stock, we decreased our net debt by $2.2 million using excess cash flows from operations, and we paid $0.9 million of contingent consideration primarily related to the June 2013 InStaff acquisition and the December 2012 acquisition of the American Partners division.

Credit Agreements

On August 21, 2015, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement with TCB. The Credit Agreement provides the Revolving Facility permitting the Company to borrow funds from time to time in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of the borrowing base amount, which is 85% of eligible accounts receivable, and TCB’s commitment of $25.0 million. The Company's obligations are secured by a first priority security interest in all assets of the Company.

Proceeds from the foregoing loan arrangements were used to pay off existing indebtedness of the Company under the Fifth Third Bank senior credit facility.

Proceeds from the June 2016 common stock issuance were used to pay off outstanding indebtedness under the Senior Subordinated Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest equal to (i) Base Rate (the higher of Prime Rate, Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, or LIBOR plus 1.0%) plus 0.5% or (ii) LIBOR plus 3.25%. The PC Subordinated Debt bore interest of 10% paid quarterly plus a compounding deferred interest of 3%. Additionally, the Company pays an unused commitment fee of 0.25% on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Facility.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants as well as negative covenants restricting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things (with certain exceptions): (i) incur indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) enter into mergers, consolidations, or similar transactions; (iv) pay dividends or make distributions (except for permitted distributions as defined in the agreements); (v) make loans; (vi) dispose of assets; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; or (viii) change the nature of their business. In addition, the Company must comply with certain financial covenants, including minimum debt service ratio, minimum current ratio and maximum leverage ratio. As of September 25, 2016, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, estimates, assumptions and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements”. Please also refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2015 for a more detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and their potential effect on our results of operations and financial condition, refer to Note 2 in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2015.

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 provides that an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We may elect to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public and private companies until such pronouncements become mandatory for private companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public and private companies.

Additionally, as an “emerging growth company,” we are not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 or (ii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks from transactions we enter into in the normal course of business. Our primary market risk exposure relates to interest rate risk.

Interest Rates

Our Revolving Facility provides available borrowing to us at variable interest rates. Accordingly, future interest rate changes could potentially put us at risk for an adverse impact on future earnings and cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, at a reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

For the fiscal quarter ended September 25, 2016, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluations required by Rule 13a-15(d) or Rule 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and our CFO, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, 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. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
