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 public company in the domestic staffing sector. Our business model is based on finding and acquiring suitable, mature, profitable, operating, U.S.-based staffing companies. Our targeted consolidation model is 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 ten acquisitions since November 2013. In February 2024, the Company disposed of its UK operations. Accordingly, all of the figures, including share and per share information, except where specifically referenced, have been revised to reflect only the results of continuing operations.
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 business includes EOR (“Employer of Record”) service contracts. 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.
The Company has developed a centralized, sales and recruitment hub. The addition of Headway, with its single office, 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. based staffing companies continues.
We effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split on June 25, 2024 (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 condensed consolidated 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. 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. As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of the quarter ended June 29, 2024, the Company
has an accumulated deficit of $
Due to the timing of select liabilities coming due, we are in discussion with our lenders to determine the best manner to settle these liabilities.
The condensed consolidated 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 is currently not in compliance. We are working with the lenders to bring the Company into compliance with these covenants.

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 Board of the Company is reviewing all of the strategic options open to it in determining how to resolve the Going Concern qualification and will update Stockholders as and when any material solution has been determined and ready to be acted upon. These solutions may include, but are not limited to, the restructuring of debt and raising of additional debt, management of expenditures, raising of additional equity, potential dispositions of assets, in addition to what has already happened in disposing of the UK operation to protect cashflows.
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 quarters ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 include the measurement of credit losses, valuation of intangible assets, including goodwill, borrowing rate consideration for right-of-use (“ROU”), liabilities associated with earn-out obligations, testing long-lived assets for impairment, valuation reserves against deferred tax assets and penalties in connection with outstanding payroll tax liabilities, stock based compensation and fair value of warrants and options.

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.
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.
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.

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 June 29, 2024 was comprised of $
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 (
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. Refer to Note 9 – Stockholders’ Deficit for further details.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements. The new guidance requires consistent categorization and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as further disaggregation of income taxes paid. This change is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. This change will apply on a prospective basis to annual financial statements for periods beginning after the effective date. However, retrospective application in all prior periods presented is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial statements.
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.
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 June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 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 June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023:

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 operating segment 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. During the quarter ended June 29, 2024, management concluded the Company has two operating segments for goodwill impairment analysis under ASC 350 such as commercial and professional. Accordingly, goodwill will no longer be tested at the unit level for the five reporting units and will be tested for impairment at the operating segment level.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including, but not limited to, statements about our plans, strategies, adequacy of resources and future financial results (such as revenue, gross profit, operating profit, cash flow), are forward-looking statements. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “can,” “could,” “should,” “intends,” “project,” “predict,” “plans,” “estimates,” “goal,” “target,” “possible,” “potential,” “would,” “seek,” and similar references to future periods. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Because these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: our ability to regain and maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s (“Nasdaq”) listing standards; our ability to continue as a going concern; negative outcome of pending and future claims and litigation; our ability to access the capital markets by pursuing additional debt and equity financing to fund our business plan and expenses on terms acceptable to us or at all; our ability to comply with our contractual covenants, including in respect of our debt; potential cost overruns and possible rejection of our business model and/or sales methods; weakness in general economic conditions and levels of capital spending by customers in the industries we serve; weakness or volatility in the financial and capital markets, which may result in the postponement or cancellation of our customers’ capital projects or the inability of our customers to pay our fees; delays or reductions in U.S. government spending; credit risks associated with our customers; competitive market pressures; the availability and cost of qualified labor; our level of success in attracting, training and retaining qualified management personnel and other staff employees; changes in tax laws and other government regulations, including the impact of health care reform laws and regulations; the possibility of incurring liability for our business activities, including, but not limited to, the activities of our temporary employees; our performance on customer contracts; and government policies, legislation or judicial decisions adverse to our businesses. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. We recommend readers to carefully review the entirety of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the risk factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and under the same or similar headings in the other reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), particularly our Annual Reports on Form 10-K. Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
Overview
We are incorporated in the state of Delaware. We are a rapidly growing public company in the domestic staffing sector. Our high-growth business model is based on finding and acquiring suitable, mature, profitable, operating, U.S. based staffing companies. Our targeted consolidation model is focused specifically on the accounting and finance, information technology (“IT”), engineering, administration (“Professional”) and light industrial (“Commercial”) disciplines.
We effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split on June 25, 2024 (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.
Business Model, Operating History and Acquisitions
We are a high-growth domestic staffing company engaged in the acquisition of staffing companies. As part of our consolidation model, we pursue a broad spectrum of staffing companies supporting primarily the Professional and Commercial Business Streams. 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 10 acquisitions, since November 2013.
36 |
Recent Developments
We held our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders on December 27, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”), at which meeting our stockholders approved an amendment (the “Reverse Stock Split Amendment”) to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to effect the Reverse Stock Split of all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20, with the exact exchange ratio and timing to be determined by our board of directors (the “Board”) in its discretion and included in a public announcement. Following the Annual Meeting, on May 28, 2024, the Board determined to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-10 and approved the corresponding final form of the Reverse Stock Split Amendment. On June 24, 2024, we filed the Reverse Stock Split Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split, effective as of 4:05 p.m. (New York time) on June 25, 2024.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every ten (10) shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock were automatically combined into one (1) issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share or the number of authorized shares of common stock. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the next whole number. The Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding from 6,397,388 shares to approximately 639,739 shares, subject to adjustment for the rounding up of fractional shares. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock under the Certificate of Incorporation did not change as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
Proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants granted by us, the per share conversion price and the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock issued by us and the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
The Common Stock began trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market on June 26, 2024. The trading symbol for the Common Stock remained “STAF.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 852387604.

Revenue
For the six months ended June 29, 2024, revenue decreased by 11.0% to $85,621 as compared with $96,239 in revenue for the six months ended July 1, 2023. The decline in revenue was more prevalent in Commercial Staffing as a result of a challenging U.S. operating environment. Commercial Staffing declined by 16% and Professional Staffing Business was down by 6.1%. In the Quarter-ended June 29, 2024, the Commercial Staffing business was down by 16.5% year-on-year with Professional Staffing down by 1.7%.
Revenue for the six months ended June 29, 2024, was comprised of $85,246 of temporary contractor revenue and $375 of permanent placement revenue, compared with $95,512 and $727 of temporary contractor revenue and permanent placement revenue, respectively, for the six months ended July 1, 2023.

Cost of revenue, Gross profit and Gross margin
Cost of revenue includes the variable cost of labor and various non-variable costs (e.g., workers’ compensation insurance) relating to employees (temporary and permanent) as well as sub-contractors and consultants. For the six months ended June 29, 2024, cost of revenue was $74,496, a decrease of 9.8% from $81,726 for the six months ended July 1, 2023, compared with a decline in revenue of 11.0%. Overall. gross profit margin declined from 15.1% to 13.0% mainly driven by the proportion of the revenue driven by lower margin Employer of Record (EOR) being 38.6% in the six months ended June 29, 2024 versus 32.1% in the six months ended July 1, 2023.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 29, 2024, were $13,980, a decrease of 14.4% from $16,342 for the six months ended July 1, 2023. The decrease in operating expenses was driven primarily by reductions in force put into effect in May 2023 and again in February 2024.
Other expenses, net
Total other income (expenses), net for the six months ended June 29, 2024 were $896, an increase of 153.3% from ($1,717) for the six months ended July 1, 2023. The increase was driven by an income recognized for discontinued operations of $901 as of July 29, 2024 versus an expense of $1,689 as of July 1, 2023.
Amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs for the six months ended June 29, 2024 were $260, an increase of $58, compared with amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs for the six months ended July 1, 2023, which were $202. In addition, for the six months ended June 29, 2024, we had other income of $255 compared with other income of $174 for the six months ended July 1, 2023..
Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we also use non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators (“KPIs”) in addition to our GAAP results. We believe non-GAAP financial measures and KPIs may provide useful information for evaluating our cash operating performance, ability to service debt, compliance with debt covenants and measurement against competitors. This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.
39 |
We present the following non-GAAP financial measure and KPIs in this report:
Revenue and Gross Profit by Business Streams We use this KPI to measure our mix of Revenue and respective profitability between our two main lines of business due to their differing margins. For clarity, these lines of business are not our operating segments, as this information is not currently regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to allocate capital and resources. Rather, we use this KPI to benchmark our business against the industry.

Operating Leverage. This measure is calculated by dividing the growth in Adjusted EBITDA by the growth in adjusted gross profit, on a trailing 12-month basis. We use this KPI because we believe it provides a measure of our efficiency for converting incremental gross profit into Adjusted EBITDA.

Operating Cash Flow Including Proceeds from Accounts Receivable Financing. Calculated as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities plus net proceeds from accounts receivable financing. Because much of our temporary payroll expense is paid weekly and in advance of clients remitting payment for invoices, operating cash flow is often weaker in staffing companies where revenue and accounts receivable are growing. Accounts receivable financing is essentially an advance on client remittances and is primarily used to fund temporary payroll. As such, we believe this measure is helpful to investors as an indicator of our underlying operating cash flow.

Liquidity, Going Concern and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Historically, we have funded our operations through term loans, promissory notes, bonds, convertible notes, private placement offerings and sales of equity.
Our primary uses of cash have been for debt repayments, repayment of deferred consideration from acquisitions, professional fees related to our operations and financial reporting requirements and for the payment of compensation, benefits and consulting fees. The following trends may occur as we continue to execute on our strategy:
● | An increase in working capital requirements to finance organic growth; | |
● | Addition of administrative and sales personnel as the business grows; | |
● | Increases in advertising, public relations and sales promotions for existing and new brands as we expand within existing markets or enter new markets; | |
● | A continuation of the costs associated with being a public company; and | |
● | Capital expenditures to add technologies. |
Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by the significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as amended, and other rules implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations could significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and increase the use of resources.
As of and for the quarter ended June 29, 2024, we had a working capital deficiency of $47,890, accumulated deficit of $131,582, and a net loss of $4,526.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation as a going concern. We have an unsecured payment due in the next 12 months associated with a historical acquisition and secured current debt arrangements representing approximately $19,385 which are in excess of cash and cash equivalents on hand, in addition to funding operational growth requirements. Historically, we have funded such payments either through cash flow from operations or the raising of capital through additional debt or equity. If we are unable to obtain additional capital, such payments may not be made on time. These factors raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments or classifications that may result from our possible inability to continue as a going concern.
In addition, as of June 29, 2024, we have numerous contractual lease obligations representing an aggregate of approximately $5,149 related to current lease agreements. We intend to fund the majority of these obligations through a combination of cash flow from operations, as well as capital raised through additional debt or equity.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes hereto 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 11, 2024 for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements. The new guidance requires consistent categorization and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as further disaggregation of income taxes paid. This change is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. This change will apply on a prospective basis to annual financial statements for periods beginning after the effective date. However, retrospective application in all prior periods presented is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (each as defined in Rules) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on that evaluation, we identified a material weakness related to the lack of a sufficient complement of competent finance personnel to appropriately account for, review and disclose the completeness and accuracy of transactions we entered into. Our management has also identified a material weakness in our internal control over our goodwill assessment relating to the lack of a sufficient process for determining the valuation of goodwill assets.
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Evaluation Date”), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to the material weakness in our control environment and financial reporting process discussed above.
Management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition as of the Evaluation Date, and results of our operations and cash flows for the Evaluation Date, in conformity with GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during the quarter ended June 29, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The following description of risk factors includes any material changes to risk factors associated with our business, financial condition and results of operations previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 11, 2024. Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, and stock price.
The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to understanding other statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Risks Relating to our Common Stock
We may not meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, which could result in a delisting of our common stock.
As previously reported, on May 22, 2024, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq notifying us that as we had not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 30, 2024 pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”), such matter serves as a basis for delisting our securities from Nasdaq.

On July 17, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between June 1, 2023, through July 14, 2023, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until January 15, 2024 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). On January 16, 2024, we were advised that we qualified for an additional 180 calendar days within which to regain compliance, under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) which brought the compliance deadline to July 15, 2024. On July 25, 2024, the Company received notification from Nasdaq that the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
On December 27, 2023, the Company held its annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting a proposal was made, and approved, to effect a reverse stock split of all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, in a ratio in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20, with such ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in its discretion and included in a public announcement, within twelve months of the vote taking effect. At a meeting of the Board of Directors, held on May 28, 2024, the reverse split ratio was approved at 1-for-10. On June 12, 2024, the Company notified the Nasdaq Listing Center of its intention to move forward with the reverse stock split. Subject to the approval of Nasdaq, the effective date of the reverse and the commencement of trading under a new CUSIP was June 26, 2024.
Although we expect to take actions intended to restore our compliance with the listing requirements, we can provide no assurance that any action taken by us would be successful. If Nasdaq delists our common stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet Nasdaq’s listing standards for continued listing, an investor would likely find it significantly more difficult to dispose of or obtain our shares, and our ability to raise future capital through the sale of our shares or issue our shares as consideration in acquisitions could be severely limited. Additionally, we may not be able to list our common stock on another national securities exchange, which could result in our securities being quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including limited availability of market quotations for our common stock and reduced liquidity for the trading of our securities. Delisting could also have other negative results, including the potential loss of confidence by employees, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
There have been no unregistered sales of securities during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have not been previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K. We have not made any purchases of our own securities during the time period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
