NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Staffing 360,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 22, 2009, as Golden Fork Corporation, which changed its name to Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc., ticker symbol “STAF,” on March 16, 2012. On June 15, 2017, the Company reincorporated in the State of Delaware.

 

We are a high-growth international staffing company engaged in the acquisition of U.S. and U.K. based staffing companies. As part of our consolidation model, we pursue a broad spectrum of staffing companies supporting primarily the Professional and Commercial Business Streams. The model is based on finding and acquiring suitable, mature, profitable, operating, domestic and international staffing companies focused specifically on the accounting and finance, information technology (“IT”), engineering, administration (“Professional”) and light industrial (“Commercial”) disciplines. Our typical acquisition model is based on paying consideration in the form of cash, stock, earn-outs and/or promissory notes. In furthering our business model, we are regularly in discussions and negotiations with various suitable, mature acquisition targets. To date, we have completed 11 acquisitions since November 2013.

 

The Company focuses on five strategic verticals that represent sub-segments of the staffing industry. These five strategic pillars, accounting & finance, information technology, engineering, administration, and commercial are the basis for the Company’s sales and revenue generation and its growth acquisition targets. The Headway Acquisition in May 2022 added 33% in revenue, or approximately $60,700 to $184,100 of revenue from the business not including Headway (each as defined herein). The Headway Acquisition included approximately $60,000 in Employer of Record service contracts. Employer of Record (“EOR”) projects are typically large volume, long-term providing HR outsourcing of payroll and benefits for a contingent workforce. EOR projects while priced with lower gross margin percentages than traditional temporary staffing assignments, yield a comparable contribution as a result of lower costs to deliver these services. Typical contribution for EOR projects is 80-85% of the gross profit earned, compared to 40-50% for traditional staffing which negates the impact of lower gross margins. This EOR service offering could be added to the Company’s other Brands (defined below), providing for a growth element within the existing client base, both in the U.S. and U.K. markets. The Headway Acquisition also brought an active workforce in all 50 states in the U.S., as well as Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. The Company anticipates that this will provide for potential expansion of accounts for all brands in the group’s portfolio (“Brands”).

(UNAUDITED)

 

The Company has developed a centralized, sales and recruitment hub in both the U.S. and U.K. markets. The addition of Headway, with its single office in Raleigh, North Carolina, and nationwide coverage for operations, supports and accelerates the Company’s objective of driving efficiencies through the use of technology, deemphasizing bricks and mortar, supporting more efficient and cost-effective service delivery for all Brands.

 

The Company has a management team with significant operational and M&A experience. The combination of this management experience and the increased opportunity for expansion of its core Brands with EOR services and nationwide expansion, provide for the opportunity of significant organic growth, while plans to continue its business model, finding and acquiring suitable, mature, profitable, operating, U.S. and U.K. based staffing companies continues.

 

We effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split on June 24, 2022 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). All share and per share information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, has, where applicable, been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), expressed in U.S. dollars. All amounts are in thousands, except share, per share and par values, unless otherwise indicated.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with the GAAP. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Liquidity

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments or classifications that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements as of the six months ended July 1, 2023, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $106,749 and a working capital deficit of $20,276. At July 1, 2023, we had total gross debt of $18,016. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, term loans, promissory notes, convertible notes, private placement offerings and sales of equity. Our cash requirements are generally for operating activities and debt repayments.

 

The financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including, among other things, that there will be no material adverse developments in our business, liquidity, capital requirements and that our credit facilities with our lenders will remain available to us.

 

Further, the notes issued to Jackson Investment Group LLC (“Jackson”) includes certain financial customary covenants and the Company has had instances of non-compliance. Management has historically been able to obtain from Jackson waivers of any non-compliance and management expects to continue to be able to obtain necessary waivers in the event of future non-compliance; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such waivers, and should Jackson refuse to provide a waiver in the future, the outstanding debt under the agreement could become due immediately, which exceeds our current cash balance.

 

As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the entire outstanding principal balance of the Jackson Notes, which was $9,016, shall be due and payable on October 14, 2024. The debt represented by the Jackson Note continues to be secured by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries’ assets pursuant to the Amended and Restated Security Agreement with Jackson, dated September 15, 2017, as amended. The Company also has a $32,500 revolving loan facility with MidCap Funding X Trust (“MidCap”). The MidCap facility has a maturity date of September 6, 2024.

Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. Historically, the Company has funded such payments either through cash flow from operations or the raising of capital through additional debt or equity. If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital, such payments may not be made on time.

 

The Company’s negative working capital and liquidity position combined with the uncertainty generated by the economic reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

COVID-19

 

In May 2023, the World Health Organization determined that COVID-19 no longer fit the definition of a public health emergency and the U.S. government announced its plan to let the declaration of a public health emergency associated with COVID-19 expire on May 11, 2023. COVID-19 is expected to remain a serious endemic threat for an indefinite future period and may continue to adversely affect the global economy, and we are unable to predict the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business, our clinical studies, our research programs, the recoverability of our assets, and our manufacturing. The effects of the COVID-19 endemic may continue to disrupt or delay our business operations, including but not limited to with respect to efforts relating to potential business development transactions and our ability to deploy staffing workforce effectively during social distancing and shelter-in-place directives and it could continue to disrupt the marketplace which could have an adverse effect on our operations. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that COVID-19 and its ongoing effects will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry, and workforce. The Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 endemic on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2023.

 

The Company’s negative working capital and liquidity position combined with the uncertainty generated by the economic reaction to COVID-19 and its ongoing effects contribute to the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from its estimates. To the extent there are material differences between estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates for the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 include the valuation of intangible assets, including goodwill, liabilities associated with testing long-lived assets for impairment and valuation reserves against deferred tax assets.

Goodwill

 

Goodwill relates to amounts that arose in connection with various acquisitions and represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable intangible and tangible net assets when accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but it is subject to periodic review for impairment. Events that would indicate impairment and trigger an interim impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, current economic and market conditions, a decline in the equity value of the business, a significant adverse change in certain agreements that would materially affect reported operating results, business climate or operational performance of the business and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator.

 

In accordance with ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Testing Goodwill for Impairment, the Company is required to review goodwill by reporting unit for impairment at least annually or more often if there are indicators of impairment present. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company changed its annual measurement date from the last day of the fiscal year end to the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter. A reporting unit is either the equivalent of, or one level below, an operating segment. The Company early adopted the provisions in ASU 2017-04, which eliminates the second step of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, the Company’s goodwill impairment tests include only one step, which is a comparison of the carrying value of each reporting unit to its fair value, and any excess carrying value, up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit, is impaired.

 

The carrying value of each reporting unit is based on the assignment of the appropriate assets and liabilities to each reporting unit. Assets and liabilities were assigned to each reporting unit if the assets or liabilities are employed in the operations of the reporting unit and the asset and liability is considered in the determination of the reporting unit fair value.

 

The Company recognized an impairment with respect to its Staffing UK reporting unit of $10,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The impairment resulted from a continued decline in that reporting unit’s revenue which experienced significant and prolonged declines as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. To determine the impairment, the Company employed a combination of market approach (valuations using comparable company multiples), income approach (discounted cash flow analysis) and prevailing market conditions to derive the fair value of the reporting unit. Under ASU 2017-04, which the Company early adopted, the impairment amount represents the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the reporting unit.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The Company accounts for revenues when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, and collectability of consideration is probable. Payment terms vary by client and the services offered.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(All amounts in thousands, except share, per share, par values and stated value per share)

(UNAUDITED)

 

The Company has primarily two main forms of revenue – temporary contractor revenue and permanent placement revenue. Temporary contractor revenue is accounted for as a single performance obligation satisfied over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Company’s performance on an hourly or daily basis. The contracts stipulate weekly or monthly billing, and the Company has elected the “as invoiced” practical expedient to recognize revenue based on the hours incurred at the contractual rate as we have the right to payment in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of performance completed to date. Permanent placement revenue is recognized on the date the candidate’s full-time employment with the customer has commenced. The customer is invoiced on the start date, and the contract stipulates payment due under varying terms, typically 30 days. The contract with the customer stipulates a guarantee period whereby the customer may be refunded if the employee is terminated within a short period of time, however this has historically been infrequent, and immaterial upon occurrence. As such, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied upon commencement of the employment, at which point control has transferred to the customer. Revenue for the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 was comprised of $61,245 and $123,040 of temporary contractor revenue and $833 and $2,143 of permanent placement revenue, respectively compared with $57,636 and $105,965 of temporary contractor revenue and $1,417 and $2,981 permanent placement revenue, respectively for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022. Refer to Note 12 – Segment Information for further details on breakdown by segments.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of the date of this filing, the Company is current on all corporate, federal and state tax returns. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.

 

The effective income tax rate was (0.77)%, (0.78)%, (0.18)% and (0.22)% for the three and six months ending July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to changes in valuation allowances in the U.S., which eliminates the effective tax rate on current year losses, offset by current state taxes and changes to goodwill naked credit. The Company may have experienced an IRC Section 382 limitation during 2021, for which it is in process of conducting an analysis to determine the tax consequences of such a limitation.

 

Foreign Currency

 

The Company recorded a non-cash foreign currency remeasurement loss of $0, $(566), $0 and $(32) for the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively, associated with its U.S dollar denominated intercompany note.

 

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

(UNAUDITED)

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the warrants placed were estimated using a Black Scholes model. Refer to Note 10 – Stockholders Equity for further details.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced an expected credit loss model for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost basis. This ASU replaces the probable, incurred loss model for those assets. On November 15, 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date of FASB ASC Topic 326 for certain small public companies and other private companies. As amended, the effective date of ASC Topic 326 was delayed until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, for SEC filers that are smaller reporting companies under the SEC’s definition, as well as private companies and not-for-profit entities. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

 

The Company utilizes the guidance per ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income/loss available to stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during each period. For the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, as a result of the net loss attributable to common stockholders, losses were not allocated to the participating securities.

Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common stock shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock, convertible notes, unvested equity awards and the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified treasury stock method). Such securities, shown below, presented on a common stock equivalent basis and outstanding as of July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 have not been included in the diluted earnings per share computations, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss as of July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022:

NOTE 4 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FINANCING

 

Midcap Funding X Trust

 

Prior to September 15, 2017, certain U.S. subsidiaries of the Company were party to a $25,000 revolving loan facility with MidCap, with the option to increase the amount by an additional $25,000, with a maturity date of April 8, 2019.

 

On October 26, 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No. 17 to that certain Credit and Security Agreement, dated April 8, 2017, by and among, the Company, as the parent, Monroe Staffing Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Faro Recruitment America, Inc., a New York corporation, Lighthouse Placement Services, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, Staffing 360 Georgia, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, and Key Resources, Inc., a North Carolina corporation, as borrowers (the “Credit Facility Borrowers”), MidCap Funding IV Trust as successor by assignment to MidCap (as agent for lenders), and other financial institutions or other entities from time to time parties thereto as lenders (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit and Security Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed to extend the maturity date of our outstanding asset based revolving loan until September 1, 2022. In addition, the Company also agreed to certain amendments to the financial covenants.

 

On October 27, 2022, the Company and the Credit Facility Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 27 and Joinder Agreement to the Credit and Security Agreement (“Amendment No. 27”) with MidCap Funding IV Trust as successor by assignment to MidCap and the lenders party thereto. Amendment No. 27, among other things, (i) increases the revolving loan commitment amount from $25,000 to $32,500 (the “Loan”), (ii) extends the commitment expiry date from October 27, 2022 to September 6, 2024, and (iii) modifies certain of the financial covenants. Pursuant to Amendment No. 27, as long as no default or event of default under the Credit and Security Agreement as amended by Amendment No. 27 exists, upon written request by the Company and with the prior written consent of the agent and lenders, the Loan may be increased by up to $10,000 in minimum amounts of $5,000 tranches each, for an aggregate loan commitment amount of $42,500.

 

In addition, Amendment No. 27 increases the applicable margin from 4.0% to 4.25%, with respect to the Loan (other than Letter of Credit Liabilities (as defined in the Credit and Security Agreement)), and from 3.5% to 3.75% with respect to the Letter of Credit Liabilities. Amendment No. 27 also replaces the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR and provides that the Loan shall bear interest at the sum of a term-based SOFR rate (plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.11448%) plus the Applicable Margin, subject to certain provisions for the replacement of SOFR with an alternate benchmark in connection with SOFR no longer being provided by its administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the SOFR interest rate shall not be at any time less than 1.00%. On August 30, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 28 (“Amendment No. 28”) to the Credit and Security Agreement with MidCap, which among other things further increases the applicable margin (a) from 4.25% to 4.50% with respect to the Loan (other than the Letter of Credit Liabilities) and (b) from 3.75% to 4.50% with respect to the Letter of Credit Liabilities. See Note 15 – Subsequent Events.

 

The facility provides events of default including: (i) failure to make payment of principal or interest on any Loans when required, (ii) failure to perform obligations under the facility and related documents, (iii) not paying its debts as such debts become due and similar insolvency matters, and (iv) material adverse changes in the financial condition of business prospectus of any Borrower (subject to a 10-day notice and cure period).

Ending balance, net  $19,891   $19,891 

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. ASC 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. ASC 280-10-50-11 states that operating segments often exhibit similar long-term financial performance if they have similar economic characteristics. In fiscal 2022, the Company identified a triggering event in response the COVID-19 pandemic. In accordance with ASC 350 the Company tested its goodwill for impairment and the Company recognized an impairment with respect to its Staffing UK reporting unit of $10,000. The impairment resulted from a continued decline in that reporting unit’s revenue which experienced significant and prolonged declines. Further, the negative impact suffered from the COVID-19 pandemic, predominantly in the year ended January 2, 2021, did not recover as quickly as management anticipated by the end of year ended January 1, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2022, as a result, the forward-looking forecast was revised based upon current facts and circumstances. To determine the impairment, the Company employed a combination of market approach (valuations using comparable company multiples), income approach (discounted cash flow analysis) and prevailing market conditions to derive the fair value of the reporting unit. While the impairment recognized by management of $10,000 represents the adjustment required based upon current assumptions, such assumptions are subject to significant estimation by management, including revenue growth rates, cost levels, and discount rates. If actual results in future periods vary from these assumptions additional impairment costs to goodwill could occur. Under ASU 2017-04, which the Company early adopted, the impairment amount represents the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the reporting unit. On May 18, 2022, the Company closed the Headway Acquisition (see Note 7 - Acquisition). The Company’s estimated value of the goodwill is $7,808.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company changed its measurement date from the last day of the fiscal year end to the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test and no impairment was recognized other than the charge recognized by the Staffing UK reporting unit. To estimate the fair value of the reporting units the Company employed a combination of market approach (valuations using comparable company multiples) and income approach (discounted cash flow analysis) to derive the fair value of the reporting unit when performing its annual impairment testing. Volatility in the Company’s stock price can result in the net book value of our reporting unit approximating, or even temporarily exceeding market capitalization, however, the fair value of our reporting unit is not driven solely by the market price of our stock. As described above, fair value of our reporting unit is derived using a combination of an asset approach, an income approach and a market approach. These valuation techniques consider several other factors beyond our market capitalization, such as the estimated future cash flows of our reporting units, the discount rate used to present value such cash flows and the market multiples of comparable companies. Changes to input assumptions used in the analysis could result in materially different evaluations of goodwill impairment.

NOTE 7 – ACQUISITION

 

In accordance with ASC 805, the Company accounts for acquisitions using the purchase method under which the acquisition purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values. The Company utilizes management estimates and, in some instances, may retain the services of an independent third-party valuation firm to assist in determining the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and contingent consideration granted. Such estimates and valuations require the Company to make significant assumptions, including projections of future events and operating performance.

 

On April 18, 2022, the Company entered into the Headway Purchase Agreement with Headway, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding securities of Headway in exchange for (i) a cash payment of $14, and (ii) 9,000,000 shares of our Series H Preferred Stock, with a value equal to the Closing Payment, as defined in the Headway Purchase Agreement. On May 18, 2022, the Headway Acquisition closed.

 

The purchase price in connection with the Headway Acquisition was $9,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Headway Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to certain covenants in the Headway Purchase Agreement, the Company may be subject to a Contingent Payment of up to $4,450 based on the Adjusted EBITDA (such term as defined in the Headway Purchase Agreement) of Headway during the Contingent Period (such term as defined in the Headway Purchase Agreement), subject to additional potential adjustments tied to customary purchase price adjustments described in the Headway Purchase Agreement. The purpose of the acquisition was to expand the market share of the Company’s primary business by providing future economic benefit of expanding services. The Company anticipates that the acquisition will provide the Company the ability to integrate the business of Headway into the Company’s existing temporary professional staffing business in the US within the expected timeframe which would enable the Company to operate more effectively and efficiently and to create synergy hence lower costs of operations.

Redeemable Series H Preferred Stock

 

On May 18, 2022, the Company entered into the Headway Purchase Agreement with Headway. Consideration for the purchase of 100% of Headway was the issuance of an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (“the “Series H Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series H Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.00001 per share and a stated value equal to $1.00 and is convertible at any time into an aggregate of 350,000 shares of common stock. This is determined by dividing the stated value of such share of Preferred Stock by the conversion price. The conversion price equals $25.714. Holders of Series H Preferred Stock are entitled to quarterly cash dividends at a per annum rate of 12%. The shares of the Series H Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company through a cash payment at a per share equal to the stated value, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends, at any time. On May 18, 2025, the Company shall redeem all of the shares of the Series H Preferred Stock. The redemption price represents the number of shares of the Preferred Stock (9,000,000), plus all accrued but unpaid dividends, multiplied by the Stated Value ($1). On May 18, 2022, the Company paid $14 towards the Series H Preferred Stock balance. As of July 1, 2023, the redemption price was $9,000.

 

In accordance with ASC 480-10-15-3, the agreement includes certain rights and options including: redemption, dividend, voting, and conversion which have characteristics akin to liability and equity. The Series H Preferred Stock is redeemable and has a defined maturity date upon the third anniversary of the original issue date. As such and based on the authoritative guidance, the Series H Preferred Stock meets the definition of a debt instrument. The Company obtained a third-party valuation report to calculate the fair value of Series H Preferred Stock. As of May 18, 2022, the fair value of the Redemption Price was calculated as $8,265 utilizing the CRR Binomial Lattice model. The difference in fair value was $735 is accounted as a deferred financing charge and will be amortized over the life of the term. The quarterly dividends will be reflected as interest expense.
