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. As a rapidly growing public company in the international staffing sector, our high-growth business model is based on finding and acquiring, suitable, mature, profitable, operating, domestic and international 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.
The

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.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These unaudited 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.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021 which are included in the Company’s January 2, 2021 Form 10-K (“Fiscal 2020”), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2021. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the period ended October 2, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year end. This report is for the period January 3, 2021 to October 2, 2021 (“Q3 2021 YTD”) and December 29, 2019 to September 26, 2020 (“Q3 2020 YTD”). The Company uses a 4-4-5 calendar month which only has 364 days and as such an extra week would need to be added every few years. In October of 2020, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) approved the addition of such an extra week to last year’s fiscal year end resulting in the last year ended on January 2, 2021.
Liquidity
The
accompanying 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. As shown in the accompanying financial statements as of the quarter ended October 2, 2021, the
Company has an accumulated deficit of $
The financial statements included in this quarterly report 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.

Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company’s debt obligations and certain unsecured payments associated with historical acquisitions are due in the next 12 months, and the Company’s debt obligations with Jackson and MidCap may become due on demand due to certain covenant violations discussed above, which are in excess of cash on hand. 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 Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), is impacting worldwide economic activity, and activity in the United States and the United Kingdom where our operations are based. The nature of work of the contractors we support mostly are on the site of our clients. As a result, we are subject to the plans and approaches of our clients to work during this period. This includes whether they support remote working when they have decided to close their facilities. To the extent that our clients have decided to or are required to close their facilities or not permit remote work when they decide to close facilities, we would no longer generate revenue and profit from that client. Developments such as social distancing and shelter-in-place directives have impacted the Company’s ability to deploy its staffing workforce effectively thereby impacting contracts with customers in the Company’s Commercial Staffing and Professional Staffing business streams where we had declines in revenues during Fiscal 2020. The economic downturn has resulted in a strong recovery in permanent placement business (or direct hire) over temporary contracting. As the anticipated return to work following the end of the stimulus check program has been slower than expected, the Company has concentrated on meeting this direct hire need, principally in the Professional Staffing Business Streams.

COVID-19
The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this quarterly report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic 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. Developments such as social distancing and shelter-in-place directives have impacted the Company’s ability to generate revenues. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the global responses to curb its spread and to treat its impact, the Company is not able to estimate the duration of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity beyond fiscal year 2021, however the Company continues to take action to reduce the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations through various cost cutting initiatives including reductions to support personnel, temporary salary reductions, and elimination of other non-essential spend. Should the impact from the pandemic go on for an extended period of time, management has developed further plans to partially mitigate the impact of the pandemic.
On March 27, 2020, the U.S. President signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. It also appropriated funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment, as well as Economic Injury Disaster Loans to provide liquidity to small businesses harmed by COVID-19.

The application for these funds required the Company to certify in good faith that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further required the Company to take into account our current business activity and our ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. The Company made this good faith assertion based upon the adverse impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on our business and the degree of uncertainty introduced to the capital markets. While the Company has made this assertion in good faith based upon all available guidance, management will continue to assess their continued qualification if and when updated guidance is released by the Treasury Department.

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, or ASU 2011-08, 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 January 2, 2021 the Company changed its annual measurement date from the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter to the last day of the fiscal year end. 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 firstPro reporting unit of $2,969 during the quarter ended June 27, 2020. 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.

No impairments to goodwill were recognized during the period ended October 2, 2021. In assessing potential impairment to goodwill, management has made assumptions regarding partial recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. If the assumptions utilized by management are not achieved and declines to operations are greater than anticipated, while failing to achieve growth in future periods as a result of the prolonged impact of COVID-19 pandemic, an impairment to goodwill could be recorded and such amount could be material to the financial statements. A reduction in the projected long-term operating performance of the reporting units, market declines, changes in discount rates or other conditions could result in a material impairment in the future.
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 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 basis. The contracts stipulate weekly 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. Revenues in Q3 2021 was comprised of $
Reclassifications
We may make certain reclassifications to prior period amounts to conform with the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Income Taxes
The Company’s provision for income taxes is based upon an estimated annual tax rate for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. On a quarterly basis, the annual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changed facts and circumstances, if any, as compared with those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter.

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.
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 the Company has privately placed were estimated using a Black Scholes model. Refer to Note 8 for further details.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt and will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. The elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that is within the scope of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and treasury stock method will be no longer available. ASU 2020-06 is applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company will adopt this standard for the fiscal year ending January 1, 2022.
On December 31, 2019, the FASB issued ASC 2019-12 “Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (Topic 740). The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for (1) public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. An entity that elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. Additionally, an entity that elects early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). This standard requires an impairment model, known as the current expected credit loss model (the “CECL model”), that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, each reporting entity should estimate an allowance for expected credit losses, which is intended to result in more timely recognition of losses. This model replaces multiple existing impairment models in current U.S. GAAP, which generally requires a loss to be incurred before it is recognized. The new standard applies to trade receivables arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivable. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when, among other criteria, it is probable that an entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to when goods or services are transferred to a customer. When trade receivables are recorded, they become subject to the CECL model and estimates of expected credit losses on trade receivables over their contractual life will be required to be recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance is effective for smaller reporting companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including the interim periods in the year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective.
The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”), which requires earnings per share for each class of stock (common stock and participating preferred stock) to be calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an allocation of earnings between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating security holders. Under the two-class method, earnings for the reporting period are allocated between common shareholders and other security holders based on their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings.
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of basic common stock outstanding. The Company’s Series F convertible preferred stock, which is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time and from time to time from and after the issue date, and the Company’s Series F warrants, are classified as participating securities in accordance with ASC 260. Net income allocated to the holders of Series F convertible preferred stock and Series F warrants is calculated based on the shareholders’ proportionate share of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding on an if-converted basis.
For purposes of determining diluted earnings per common share, basic earnings per common share is further adjusted to include the effect of potential dilutive common shares outstanding, including unvested restricted stock using the more dilutive of either the two-class method or the treasury stock method, and Series G and G-1 Preferred Stock using the if-converted method. Stock options and warrants that are out-of-the-money are not included in the denominator for the calculation diluted EPS. Under the two-class method of calculating diluted earnings per share, net income is reallocated to common stock, the Series F Preferred stock, the Series F warrants, and all dilutive securities based on the contractual participating rights of the security to share in the current earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. In the computation of diluted earnings per share, the if-converted method for the Series F Preferred Stock resulted in a more dilutive earnings per share than the two-class method. As such, the if-converted method was utilized for the calculation of diluted EPS.

This certification further required the Company to take into account our current business activity and our ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. The Company made this good faith assertion based upon the adverse impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on our business and the degree of uncertainty introduced to the capital markets. While the Company has made this assertion in good faith based upon all available guidance, management will continue to assess their continued qualification if and when updated guidance is released by the Treasury Department.

Whitaker v. Monroe Staffing Services, LLC & Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc.
On
December 5, 2019, former owner of KRI, Pamela D. Whitaker (“Whitaker” or “Plaintiff”), filed a complaint in Guilford
County, North Carolina (the “North Carolina Action”) asserting claims for breach of contract and declaratory judgment against
Monroe and the Company (the “Defendants”) arising out of the alleged non-payment of certain earn-out payments and interest
purportedly due under a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Whitaker sold all issued and outstanding shares in her staffing agency,
KRI to Staffing 360’s subsidiary, Monroe Staffing Services in August 2018. Whitaker is seeking $
Defendants removed the action to the Middle District of North Carolina on January 7, 2020, and Plaintiff moved to remand on February 4, 2020. Briefing on the motion to remand concluded on February 24, 2020. Separately, Defendants moved to dismiss the action on January 14, 2020 based on Plaintiff’s failure to state a claim, improper venue, and lack of personal jurisdiction as to defendant Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. Alternatively, Defendants sought a transfer of the action to the Southern District of New York, based on the plain language of the Share Purchase Agreement’s forum selection clause. Briefing on Defendants’ motion to dismiss concluded on February 18, 2020. On February 28, 2020, Plaintiff moved for leave to file an amended complaint. Defendants filed their opposition to the motion for leave on March 19, 2020. Plaintiff has filed a reply.
On June 29, 2020, Magistrate Judge Webster issued a Report and Recommendation on the pending motions, recommending that Defendants’ motion to dismiss be granted with regard to Defendants’ request to transfer the matter to the Southern District of New York, and denied in all other regards without prejudice to Defendants raising those arguments again in the new forum. Magistrate Judge Webster also recommended that Plaintiff’s motion to remand be denied and motion to amend be left to the discretion of the Southern District of New York.
Plaintiff filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation on July 9, 2020. Defendants responded on July 23, 2020. On February 19, 2021, the District Court issued a decision that reversed the Magistrate Judge’s Order. The District Court granted Plaintiff’s motion to remand and denied Defendants’ motion to dismiss as moot. Defendants filed a Notice of Appeal to the Fourth Circuit on February 25, 2021 and filed their opening brief on April 21, 2021. Plaintiff filed her response brief on May 21, 2021, and Defendants replied on June 11, 2021. As of the date of this filing, the appeal remains pending.
Separately,
on February 26, 2020, the Company and Monroe filed an action against Whitaker in the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York (Case No. 1:20-cv-01716) (the “New York Action”). The New York Action concerns claims for breach of contract
and fraudulent inducement arising from various misrepresentations made by Whitaker to the Company and Monroe in advance of, and included
in, the share purchase agreement. The Company and Monroe are seeking damages in an amount to be determined at trial but in no event less
than $
On October 13, 2020, the Court denied Whitaker’s motion to dismiss, in part, and granted the motion, in part. The Court rejected Whitaker’s procedural arguments, but granted the motion on substantive grounds. However, the Court ordered that Monroe and the Company may seek leave to amend the complaint by letter application by December 1, 2020. Monroe and the Company filed a letter of motion for leave to amend and a proposed Amended Complaint on December 1, 2020. On January 5, 2021, Whitaker filed an opposition to the letter motion. On January 25, 2021, Monroe and the Company filed a reply in further support of the letter motion. On March 9, 2021, the Court granted Monroe and the Company’s motion for leave to amend, in part, and denied the motion, in part. The Court rejected Monroe and the Company’s claim for fraudulent inducement, but granted the motion for leave to amend their breach of contract claim. Monroe and the Company filed their amended complaint on March 12, 2021. On April 9, 2021, Whitaker renewed her motion to dismiss on procedural grounds, requesting dismissal of the action or, in the alternative, a stay of the proceeding pending adjudication on the merits of the North Carolina Action. On May 14, 2021, Monroe and the Company filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss. On June 21, 2021, Whitaker filed a reply in further support of the motion. The Court referred the case to Magistrate Judge Moses, who held oral argument on the motion on November 9, 2021. Whitaker’s renewed motion to dismiss remains pending.
Monroe and the Company intend to pursue their claims vigorously.
As of the date of this filing, we are not aware of any other material legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries is a party or to which any of our property is subject, other than as disclosed above.

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 appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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: the geographic, social and economic impact of COVID-19 on our ability to conduct business and raise capital in the future when needed; the termination of a major customer contract or project; 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; and 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 reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), particularly our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K.
Overview
We are incorporated in the State of Delaware. As a rapidly growing public company in the international staffing sector, our high-growth business model is based on finding and acquiring suitable, mature, profitable, operating, U.S. and U.K. based staffing companies. Our targeted consolidation model is focused specifically on the Professional Sector and Commercial Sector disciplines.
Recent Developments
NASDAQ Minimum Bid Price Requirement
On April 27, 2021, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Listing Qualifications Department”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between March 12, 2021, through April 27, 2021, we 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 we will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until October 25, 2021 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).
In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, our common stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period. In the event we do not regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period, we may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of our publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If we meet these requirements, we may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. However, if it appears to the Listing Qualifications Department that we will be unable to cure the deficiency, or if we are not otherwise eligible for the additional cure period, the Listing Qualifications Department will provide notice that our common stock will be subject to delisting.
On July 27, 2021, we received a letter from Nasdaq notifying us that the Staff had determined that for the previous 18 consecutive business days, from July 1, 2021 to July 27, 2021, the closing bid price of our common stock had been at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, we have regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and this matter is now closed.
COVID-19
In December 2019, a strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, and has spread globally, resulting in government-imposed quarantines, travel restrictions and other public health safety measures in affected countries. The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting worldwide economic activity, and activity in the U.S. and the U.K. where our operations are based. Much of the independent contractor work we provide to our clients is performed at the site of our clients. As a result, we are subject to the plans and approaches our clients have made to address the COVID-19 pandemic, such as whether they support remote working or if they have simply closed their facilities and furloughed employees. To the extent that our clients were to decide or are required to close their facilities, or not permit remote work when they close facilities, we would no longer generate revenue and profit from that client. In addition, in the event that our clients’ businesses suffer or close as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may experience decline in our revenue or write-off of receivables from such clients. Moreover, developments such as social distancing and shelter-in-place directives have impacted our ability to deploy our staffing workforce effectively, thereby impacting contracts with customers in our commercial staffing and professional staffing business streams, where we experienced declines in revenues during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021. While some government-imposed precautionary measures have been relaxed in certain countries or states, there is no assurance that more strict measures will be put in place again, both in the U.S. and the U.K., due to a resurgence in COVID-19 cases connected to the spread of a new strain of COVID-19. As a result of government restrictions imposed in the U.K., we had to close both of our offices in the U.K., and our employees have been forced to operate remotely from their homes. Employees returned to our offices in the U.K. on a voluntary basis on March 29, 2021. Therefore, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may continue to affect our operation and to disrupt the marketplace in which we operate and may negatively impact our sales in fiscal year 2021 and our overall liquidity.

While the ultimate economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant disruptions in general commercial activity and the global economy and caused financial market volatility and uncertainty in significant and unforeseen ways in the recent months. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital and on the market price of our common stock, and we may not be able to successfully raise needed capital. If we are unsuccessful in raising capital in the future, we may need to reduce activities, curtail or cease operations.
In addition, the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic or an outbreak of other infectious diseases could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, resulting in an economic downturn that could impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Nasdaq Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement
On June 3, 2020, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department notifying us that we are no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires listed companies to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500. Further, as of June 9, 2020, we did not meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.
In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we were afforded the opportunity to submit a plan to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity standard. Based on our submissions, the Listing Qualifications Department granted us an extension to regain compliance with Rule 5550(b)(1) until November 30, 2020.
On December 1, 2020, we received notice that because we had not met the terms of the extension, our common stock would be subject to delisting from Nasdaq, unless we timely requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). We timely requested a hearing before the Panel, which automatically stayed any suspension or delisting action pending the issuance of a decision by the Panel following the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel. The hearing occurred on January 21, 2021. At the hearing, we provided the Panel with an update on our compliance plan and requested a further extension of time in which to regain compliance. On February 3, 2021, we received a letter from the Panel noting it has granted our request for an extension until February 28, 2021 to regain compliance with the minimum $2,500 stockholders’ equity requirement, or the alternative compliance standards as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). On March 4, 2021 we received a letter extending the deadline for compliance to May 31, 2021.
On June 11, 2021, we received a letter from the Staff notifying us that the Panel had determined to delist our shares from Nasdaq and that trading in those shares would be suspended effective at the open of business on June 15, 2021 but that due to a procedural issue, the Panel determined not to implement the decision and afforded us an opportunity to make an additional submission for the Panel’s consideration.
On June 28, 2021, we received a letter from the Staff informing us that we had regained compliance with the Rule. As a result, the Panel determined to continue the listing of our securities on Nasdaq. The Panel also determined to impose a Panel Monitor under Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(A) for a period of one year from the date of the June 28, 2021 letter (the “Monitoring Period”). We are expected to remain in compliance with all of Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements during the Monitoring Period. If at any time during this period we fail to satisfy any continued listing standard, the Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter, which we may appeal.
February 2021 Public Offering
On February 9, 2021, we announced the pricing of a public offering (“the “February 2021 Offering”) of an aggregate of 3,642,547 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $5.40 per share. The February 2021 Offering was made pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-1 initially filed on January 13, 2021, as subsequently amended and declared effective on February 9, 2021. The February 2021 Offering was made only by means of a prospectus forming a part of the effective registration statement.

(All amounts in thousands, except share, par values and stated values)
The February 2021 Offering closed on February 12, 2021. In the February 2021 Offering, we issued 3,475,200 shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 167,347 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share (the “Pre-funded Warrants”). The Pre-funded Warrants were sold at $5.40 per Pre-funded Warrant. The Pre-funded Warrants were immediately exercisable and could be exercised at any time after their original issuance until such Pre-funded Warrants were exercised in full. The Pre-funded Warrants were exercised immediately upon issuance, and 167,347 shares of common stock were issued on February 12, 2021.
The net proceeds to us from the February 2021 Offering were approximately $18,100, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. While our Series E Preferred Stock (as defined herein) is outstanding, we were required to use the proceeds of any sales of equity securities, including the securities offered in the February 2021 Offering, exclusively to redeem any outstanding shares of our Series E Preferred Stock, (as defined herein), subject to certain limitations. On February 12, 2021, we used approximately 75% of the net proceeds from the February 2021 Offering to redeem a portion of the outstanding Second Amended and Restated 12% Senior Secured Note, due September 30, 2022 (the “Jackson Note”) that we issued on October 26, 2020 to Jackson Investment Group LLC (“Jackson”) pursuant to that certain Second Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, dated October 26, 2020, among us, certain of our subsidiaries and Jackson (the “Amended Note Purchase Agreement”), which had an outstanding principal amount of $32,710 as of February 9, 2021, and 25% of the net proceeds from the February 2021 Offering to redeem a portion of our Series E Preferred Stock (as defined herein). Pursuant to the Limited Consent (as defined herein), upon closing of the February 2021 Offering, we redeemed a portion of the Jackson Note with an outstanding principal amount of $13,556 and interest accrued thereon and redeemed 4,518 shares of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (“the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock”). Following the redemption of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, we had 6,172 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding with an aggregate stated value of $6,172.
April 2021 Private Placement
On April 21, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors for the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 4,697.6328 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 (“the Series F Preferred Stock”) at a price of $1,000 per share and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,304,901 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $3.60 per share (the “April 2021 Warrants”) in a private placement (the “April 2021 Private Placement”). The April 2021 Warrants are exercisable six months following the closing of the April 2021 Private Placement and will expire five years following such date.
The Series F Preferred Stock is convertible into an aggregate of approximately 1,304,901 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $3.60 per share, subject to certain ownership limitations, upon us amending our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse split within a range of 2-into-1 to up to 20-into-1 to be determined by the Board.
The net proceeds to us from the sale of the Series F Preferred Stock and the warrants were approximately $4,200, after deducting placement agent fees and estimate offering expenses payable by us. We used $3,200 of the net proceeds to redeem a portion of the Jackson Note, which had an outstanding principal amount of $19,154 as of April 21, 2021. In addition, the Company used $1,000 of the net proceeds for working capital purposes.
Series G Preferred Stock – Related Party
On May 6, 2021, we entered into an Exchange Agreement with Jackson, pursuant to which, among other things, Jackson agreed to exchange 6,172 shares of our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, and 1,493 shares of the Series E-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E-1 Convertible Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, the “Series E Preferred Stock”) for an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s newly issued Series G Preferred Stock and Series G-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively. The Series G Preferred Stock is subject to the same terms stated in the Limited Waiver, as described in Note 8.
The Series G Preferred Stock ranks senior to each of our common stock, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, and any other classes and series of our stock now or hereafter authorized, issued or outstanding, which by their terms expressly provide that they are junior to the Series G Preferred Stock or which do not specify their rank (which includes the Series F Preferred Stock). Each share of Series G Preferred Stock was initially convertible into 1,000 shares of common stock at any time from and after, (i) with respect to the Series G Preferred Stock, the earlier of October 31, 2022 or the occurrence of a default and, (ii) with respect to the Series G-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, October 31, 2020. A holder of Series G Preferred Stock is not required to pay any additional consideration in exchange for conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock into the Company’s common stock.
There are no shares of Series G Preferred Stock outstanding as of October 2, 2021.
Jackson Waivers
On February 5, 2021, we entered into a Limited Consent and Waiver with Jackson whereby (the “Limited Consent”), among other things, Jackson agreed that we may use 75% of the proceeds from the February 2021 Offering to redeem a portion of the Jackson Note, which at the time had an outstanding principal amount of $32,710, and 25% of the net proceeds from the February 2021 Offering to redeem a portion of our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, notwithstanding certain provisions of the Series E Certificate of Designation that would have required us to use all the proceeds from the February 2021 Offering to redeem the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition, we also agreed in the Limited Consent to additional limits on our ability to incur other indebtedness, including limits on advances under our revolving loan facility with MidCap Funding X Trust (“MidCap”). We also agreed that to the extent that any of our PPP Loans are forgiven after the February 2021 Offering, Jackson may convert the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock and Series E-1 Convertible Preferred Stock that remains outstanding into a secured note that is substantially similar to the Jackson Note. On April 8, 2021, the Limited Consent was extended to June 17, 2021.
Jackson also entered into a limited waiver with us on February 5, 2021, whereby Jackson agreed that it would not convert any shares of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock or Series E-1 Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock or exercise any warrants to purchase shares to the extent that doing so would cause the number of our authorized shares of common stock to be less than the number of shares being offered in the February 2021 Offering. Jackson also waived any event of default under the Series E Certificate of Designation and the Jackson Note that would have resulted from us having an insufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to honor conversions of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise of Jackson’s warrants. On April 8, 2021, the Limited Waiver was extended to June 17, 2021 and on May 6, 2021 the Limited Waiver was extended to June 30, 2021.
Jackson Consent
In connection with the July 2021 Offerings (as defined herein), on July 22, 2021 we entered into a limited consent with Jackson whereby, among other things, Jackson agreed that we could effect the July 2021 Offerings and use $5,000 of the net proceeds thereof to pay accrued and unpaid interest and prepay a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Jackson Note, notwithstanding certain provisions of the certificate of designation for the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock that would have required us to use all the proceeds from the July 2021 Offerings to redeem the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock.

PPP loan forgiveness
On July 14, 2021, we were notified by our lender, Affinity Bank, that the PPP loans (the “PPP Loans”) for Key Resources Inc., Lighthouse Placement Services, LLC and Staffing 360 Georgia, LLC, in the amounts of $5,443, $1,890 and $2,063, respectively, in principal and $63, $22 and $24, respectively, in interest, were forgiven in their entirety by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”).
In addition to the forgiveness of these loans, we had previously received notification of forgiveness for Monroe Staffing Services, LLC’s (“Monroe”) PPP Loan. In total, we have received full forgiveness of its PPP Loans totaling $19,395 of principal and $214 in interest.
July 2021 Registered Direct Offering and Concurrent Private Placement
On July 20, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “July 2021 Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors. Pursuant to the July 2021 Purchase Agreement, we sold, in a registered direct offering (the “July 2021 Registered Direct Offerings), 2,199,132 shares of our common stock to the investors at an offering price of $3.45 per share and associated warrant. In a concurrent private placement (the “July 2021 Private Placement” and, together with the July 2021 Registered Direct Offering, the “July 2021 Offerings”), we sold to the same investors, unregistered warrants (the “July 2021 Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,099,566 shares of common stock, representing 50% of the shares of common stock sold in the July 2021 Registered Direct Offering. The July 2021 Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $3.80 per share, were exercisable immediately upon issuance and have a term of exercise equal to five years from the date of issuance.
The net proceeds from the July 2021 Offerings were approximately $6,760, after deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. While our Series G Preferred Stock was outstanding, it was required to use the proceeds of any sales of equity securities, including the common stock offered in the July 2021 Registered Direct Offering, exclusively to redeem any outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock, subject to certain limitations. We received a waiver from Jackson, the sole holder of the outstanding shares of its Series G Preferred Stock, to pay accrued and unpaid interest and prepay a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Jackson Note, which at the time had an outstanding principal amount of $16,077 and paid accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series G-1 Convertible Preferred Stock upon conversion of such preferred stock into the New Note.
On December 21, 2020, we entered into an engagement letter (as amended, the “Engagement Letter”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), pursuant to which Wainwright agreed to serve as our exclusive placement agent, on a reasonable best-efforts basis, in connection with the July 2021 Offerings. We paid Wainwright an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds of the July 2021 Offerings and a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the July 2021 Offerings, and additionally reimbursed Wainwright for a non-accountable expense allowance of $85 and $13 for clearing expenses. Additionally, we issued to Wainwright or its designees as compensation warrants to purchase up to 164,935 shares of common stock, equal to 7.5% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock placed in the July 2021 Registered Direct Offering (the “July 2021 Wainwright Warrants”). The July 2021 Wainwright Warrants have a term of five (5) years from the commencement of sales under the July 2021 Registered Direct Offering and an exercise price of $4.31 per share of common stock (equal to 125% of the offering price per share of common stock issued and sold in the July 2021 Registered Direct Offering). The July 2021 Offerings closed on July 23, 2021.
Conversion of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock into Senior Debt
On July 21, 2021, we exchanged its 6,172 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock and 1,561 shares of Series G-1 Preferred Stock for senior indebtedness by entering into a new 12% Senior Secured Note, in aggregate principal amount of $7,733 (the “New Note”), which amount represented all of the outstanding Series G Preferred Stock totaling $6,172 and Series G-1 Convertible Preferred Stock totaling $1,561 held by Jackson as of July 21, 2021, under the Amended Note Purchase Agreement. The New Note was deemed issued pursuant to the Amended Note Purchase Agreement.
Under the terms of the New Note, we are required to pay interest on the New Note at a per annum rate of 12%, in cash only, accruing from and after the date of the New Note and until the entire principal balance of the New Note shall have been repaid in full, and on and at all times during which the “Default Rate” (as defined in the Amended Note Purchase Agreement) applies, to the extent permitted by law, at a per annum rate of 17%. The entire outstanding principal balance of the New Note is due and payable in full on September 30, 2022. Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Amended Note Purchase Agreement), the principal of the New Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon may be accelerated and declared or otherwise become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Amended Note Purchase Agreement.
August 2021 Registered Direct Offering and Concurrent Private Placement
On August 5, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “August 2021 Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors.

Pursuant to the August 2021 Purchase Agreement, in a concurrent private placement (the “August 2021 Private Placement” and, together with the August 2021 Registered Direct Offering, the “August 2021 Offerings”), we also sold to the purchasers unregistered warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 691,581 shares of common stock, representing 50% of the shares of common stock that were issued and sold in the August 2021 Registered Direct Offering (the “August 2021 Warrants”).

For Q3 2021 YTD, revenue decreased by 2.5% to $146,982 as compared with $150,693 for Q3 2020 YTD. Of that decline, $7,457 was attributable to organic revenue decline, partially offset by $3,746 of favorable foreign currency translation. Within organic revenue, temporary contractor revenue declined $5,410 and permanent placement declined $2,047. The sale of firstPRO in September 2020 resulted in zero months of revenue for Q3 2021 YTD versus revenue of $7,688 for the nine months in Q3 2020 YTD.
Revenue in Q3 2021 YTD was comprised of $143,274 of temporary contractor revenue and $3,708 of permanent placement revenue, compared with $145,150 and $5,543 for Q3 2020 YTD, respectively.

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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.
We present the following non-GAAP financial measure and KPIs in this report:
Revenue and Gross Profit by Sector
We use this KPI to measure our mix of Revenue and respective profitability between its 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 us against the industry.

In addition, we had included non-recurring expenses related to salaries, rent and bad debts in these expenses, which were a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to government mandated restrictions, we had to temporarily close all of its offices and, due to social distancing restrictions, could not make full use of these facilities for significant periods of time during the year, both in the US and the UK. These restrictions are still ongoing in 2021. In addition, we reduced our personnel in each of 2019, 2020 and 2021. The reduction in 2019 was related to performance. The reductions in 2020 and 2021 were related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These positions are no longer included in the current cost structure.

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.
On February 8, 2018, CBS Butler Holdings Limited (“CBS Butler”), Staffing 360 Solutions Limited and The JM Group entered into a new arrangement with HSBC Invoice Finance (UK) Ltd (“HSBC”) which provides for HSBC to purchase the subsidiaries’ accounts receivable up to an aggregate amount of £11,500 across all three subsidiaries. The terms of the arrangement provide for HSBC to fund 90% of the purchased accounts receivable upfront and, a secured borrowing line of 70% of unbilled receivables capped at £1,000 (within the overall aggregate total facility of £11,500). The arrangement has an initial term of 12 months, with an automatic rolling three-month extension and carries a service charge of 1.80%. Under ASU 2016-16, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), the upfront portion of the sale of accounts receivable is classified within operating activities, while the deferred purchase price portion (or beneficial interest), once collected, is classified within investing activities. On April 20, 2020, the terms of the loan with HSBC was amended whereby no capital repayments will be made between April 2020 to September 2020, and only interest payments will be made during this time. On May 15, 2020, we entered into a three-year term loan with HSBC in the UK for £1,000.

Liquidity 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 its 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, | |

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 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt and will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. The elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that is within the scope of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and treasury stock method will be no longer available. ASU 2020-06 is applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.
On December 31, 2019, the FASB issued ASC 2019-12 “Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Topic 740”). The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for (1) public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. An entity that elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. Additionally, an entity that elects early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). This standard requires an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, each reporting entity should estimate an allowance for expected credit losses, which is intended to result in more timely recognition of losses. This model replaces multiple existing impairment models in current U.S. GAAP, which generally requires a loss to be incurred before it is recognized. The new standard applies to trade receivables arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivable. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when, among other criteria, it is probable that an entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to when goods or services are transferred to a customer. When trade receivables are recorded, they become subject to the CECL model and estimates of expected credit losses on trade receivables over their contractual life will be required to be recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance is effective for smaller reporting companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including the interim periods in the year. Early adoption is permitted. We will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“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 the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (each as defined in Rules) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
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, the Company 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 entered into by the Company.
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 (“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 ineffective, 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, the Company’s financial condition as of the Evaluation Date, and results of its operations and cash flows for the Evaluation Date, in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 October 2, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Whitaker v. Monroe Staffing Services, LLC & Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc.
On December 5, 2019, former owner of KRI, Pamela D. Whitaker (“Whitaker” or “Plaintiff”), filed a complaint in Guilford County, North Carolina (the “North Carolina Action”) asserting claims for breach of contract and declaratory judgment against Monroe and the Company (the “Defendants”) arising out of the alleged non-payment of certain earn-out payments and interest purportedly due under a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Whitaker sold all issued and outstanding shares in her staffing agency, KRI to Staffing 360’s subsidiary, Monroe Staffing Services in August 2018. Whitaker is seeking $4,054 in alleged damages.
Defendants removed the action to the Middle District of North Carolina on January 7, 2020, and Plaintiff moved to remand on February 4, 2020. Briefing on the motion to remand concluded on February 24, 2020. Separately, Defendants moved to dismiss the action on January 14, 2020 based on Plaintiff’s failure to state a claim, improper venue, and lack of personal jurisdiction as to defendant Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. Alternatively, Defendants sought a transfer of the action to the Southern District of New York, based on the plain language of the Share Purchase Agreement’s forum selection clause. Briefing on Defendants’ motion to dismiss concluded on February 18, 2020. On February 28, 2020, Plaintiff moved for leave to file an amended complaint. Defendants filed their opposition to the motion for leave on March 19, 2020. Plaintiff has filed a reply.
On June 29, 2020, Magistrate Judge Webster issued a Report and Recommendation on the pending motions, recommending that Defendants’ motion to dismiss be granted with regard to Defendants’ request to transfer the matter to the Southern District of New York, and denied in all other regards without prejudice to Defendants raising those arguments again in the new forum. Magistrate Judge Webster also recommended that Plaintiff’s motion to remand be denied and motion to amend be left to the discretion of the Southern District of New York.
Plaintiff filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation on July 9, 2020. Defendants responded on July 23, 2020. On February 19, 2021, the District Court issued a decision that reversed the Magistrate Judge’s Order. The District Court granted Plaintiff’s motion to remand and denied Defendants’ motion to dismiss as moot. Defendants filed a Notice of Appeal to the Fourth Circuit on February 25, 2021 and filed their opening brief on April 21, 2021. Plaintiff filed her response brief on May 21, 2021, and Defendants replied on June 11, 2021. As of the date of this filing, the appeal remains pending.
Separately, on February 26, 2020, the Company and Monroe filed an action against Whitaker in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 1:20-cv-01716) (the “New York Action”). The New York Action concerns claims for breach of contract and fraudulent inducement arising from various misrepresentations made by Whitaker to the Company and Monroe in advance of, and included in, the share purchase agreement. The Company and Monroe are seeking damages in an amount to be determined at trial but in no event less than $6,000. On April 28, 2020, Whitaker filed a motion to dismiss the New York Action on both procedural and substantive grounds. On June 11, 2020, Monroe and the Company filed their opposition to Whitaker’s motion to dismiss. On July 9, 2020 Whitaker filed reply papers in further support of the motion.
On October 13, 2020, the Court denied Whitaker’s motion to dismiss, in part, and granted the motion, in part. The Court rejected Whitaker’s procedural arguments, but granted the motion on substantive grounds. However, the Court ordered that Monroe and the Company may seek leave to amend the complaint by letter application by December 1, 2020. Monroe and the Company filed a letter of motion for leave to amend and a proposed Amended Complaint on December 1, 2020. On January 5, 2021, Whitaker filed an opposition to the letter motion. On January 25, 2021, Monroe and the Company filed a reply in further support of the letter motion. On March 9, 2021, the Court granted Monroe and the Company’s motion for leave to amend, in part, and denied the motion, in part. The Court rejected Monroe and the Company’s claim for fraudulent inducement, but granted the motion for leave to amend their breach of contract claim. Monroe and the Company filed their amended complaint on March 12, 2021. On April 9, 2021, Whitaker renewed her motion to dismiss on procedural grounds, requesting dismissal of the action or, in the alternative, a stay of the proceeding pending adjudication on the merits of the North Carolina Action. On May 14, 2021, Monroe and the Company filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss. On June 21, 2021, Whitaker filed a reply in further support of the motion. The Court referred the case to Magistrate Judge Moses, who held oral argument on the motion on November 9, 2021. Whitaker’s renewed motion to dismiss remains pending.
Monroe and the Company intend to pursue their claims vigorously.
As of the date of this filing, we are not aware of any other material legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries is a party or to which any of our property is subject, other than as disclosed above.
