TEAMSTAFF, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2010 (Unaudited)
(1) ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS:
TeamStaff, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“TeamStaff” or the “Company”, also referred to as “we,” “us” and “our”), provide staffing services to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (“DVA”) and other US governmental entities. TeamStaff’s primary operations are located in Loganville, Georgia and its principal executive office is located at 1 Executive Drive, Suite 130, Somerset, New Jersey 08873 where its telephone number is (866) 352-5304. TeamStaff, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, was founded in 1969 as a payroll service company and evolved into a national provider of contract and permanent medical and administrative staffing services. Its principal operations are conducted through its subsidiary, TeamStaff Government Solutions, (“TeamStaff GS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TeamStaff, Inc. TeamStaff GS changed its name from RS Staffing Services, Inc on February 12, 2008 to reflect the subsidiary’s expanding service offerings.
On December 28, 2009, TeamStaff and TeamStaff Rx, Inc. (“TeamStaff Rx”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement with Advantage RN, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Advantage RN”), providing for the sale of substantially all of the operating assets of TeamStaff Rx related to our business of providing travel nurse and allied healthcare professionals for temporary assignments to Advantage RN. The closing of this transaction occurred on January 4, 2010. The Asset Purchase Agreement provided that the purchased assets were acquired by Advantage RN for a purchase price of up to $425,000, of which: (i) $350,000 in cash was paid at the closing, and (ii) $75,000 was subject to an escrowed holdback as described in the Asset Purchase Agreement. On March 25, 2010, the Company and Advantage RN completed the analysis related to escrow release conditions and reached an agreement as to the final purchase price. Of the $75,000 held in escrow, $25,000 was released to the Company and $50,000 was returned to Advantage RN, resulting in a final purchase price of $375,000. Additionally, Advantage RN will make rent subsidy payments to TeamStaff Rx totaling $125,000, consisting of: (i) $25,000 paid at closing, and (ii) an additional $100,000 payable in 10 equal monthly installments beginning on March 1, 2010. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Advantage RN did not assume any debts, obligations or liabilities of TeamStaff Rx nor did it purchase any accounts receivable outstanding as of the closing date. As described in note 3 to these consolidated financial statements, the results of operations, cash flows and related assets and liabilities of TeamStaff Rx have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from those of continuing businesses for all periods presented.
Following the disposition of its TeamStaff Rx business, TeamStaff provides specialized medical, nursing, logistics and administrative staffing services by supplying allied healthcare and nursing professionals, logistics and administrative personnel to U.S. government entities through TeamStaff GS. The staffing services offered by TeamStaff are provided through independent Federal Supply Schedule (“FSS”) contracts through the United States General Services Administration (“GSA”). The provision of logistical and administrative personnel is accomplished through the Logistics Worldwide Schedule and medical personnel are supplied through the Professional and Allied Healthcare Staffing Services Schedule. TeamStaff also provides its staffing services to federal government agencies through competitively bid contracts and has a GSA schedule contract to provide information technology professional services. TeamStaff provides these services to the DVA, the US Department of Defense and other US governmental agencies and placed contract employees at approximately 30 facilities during the first six months of fiscal 2010.
TeamStaff’s other wholly-owned subsidiaries include DSI Staff ConnXions Northeast, Inc., DSI Staff ConnXions Southwest, Inc., TeamStaff Solutions, Inc., TeamStaff I, Inc., TeamStaff II, Inc., TeamStaff III, Inc., TeamStaff IV, Inc., TeamStaff VIII, Inc., TeamStaff IX, Inc., Digital Insurance Services, Inc., HR2, Inc. and BrightLane.com, Inc. As a result of the sale of our Professional Employer Organization business in fiscal year 2004 and other Company business changes, these “other” subsidiaries are not actively operating.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by TeamStaff, without audit, pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. TeamStaff believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in TeamStaff’s fiscal 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. This interim financial information reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and changes in estimates, where appropriate) to present fairly the results for the interim periods. The results of operations and cash flows for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TeamStaff and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The results of operations, cash flows and related assets and liabilities of TeamStaff Rx have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from those of continuing businesses for all periods presented.
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Revenue Recognition
TeamStaff accounts for its revenues in accordance with ACS 605-45, Reporting Revenues Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, and SAB 104, Revenue Recognition. TeamStaff recognizes all amounts billed to its contract staffing customers as gross revenue because, among other things, TeamStaff is the primary obligor in the contract staffing arrangement; TeamStaff has pricing latitude; TeamStaff selects contract employees for a given assignment from a broad pool of individuals; TeamStaff is at risk for the payment of its direct costs; and TeamStaff assumes a significant amount of other risks and liabilities as an employer of its contract employees, and therefore, is deemed to be a principal in regard to these services. TeamStaff also recognizes as gross revenue and as unbilled receivables, on an accrual basis, any such amounts that relate to services performed by contract employees which have not yet been billed to the customer as of the end of the accounting period.
Revenues related to retroactive billings in 2008 (see Note 4) from an agency of the Federal government were recognized when: (1) the Company developed and calculated an amount for such prior period services and had a contractual right to bill for such amounts under its arrangements, (2) there were no remaining unfulfilled conditions for approval of such billings and (3) collectability is reasonably assured based on historical practices with the DVA. The related direct costs, principally comprised of salaries and benefits, are recognized to match the recognized reimbursements from the Federal agency; upon approval, wages will be processed for payment to the employees.
During the year ended September 30, 2008, TeamStaff recognized revenues of $10.8 million and direct costs of $10.1 million related to these non-recurring arrangements. At March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the amount of the remaining accounts receivable with the DVA approximated $9.3 million and accrued liabilities for salaries to employees and related benefits totaled $8.7 million. The $9.3 million in accounts receivable was unbilled to the DVA at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009. At present, the Company expects to collect such amounts during fiscal 2010 based on current discussions and collection efforts.
Staffing (whether medical or administrative) revenue is recognized as service is rendered. TeamStaff bills its clients based on an hourly rate. The hourly rate is intended to cover TeamStaff’s direct labor costs of the contract employees, plus an estimate for overhead expenses and a profit margin. Additionally, commissions from permanent placements (principally TeamStaff Rx) are included in revenue as placements are made. Commissions from permanent placements result from the successful placement of a medical staffing employee to a customer’s workforce as a permanent employee. The Company also reviews the status of such placements to assess the Company’s future performance obligations under such contracts.
Direct costs of services are reflected in TeamStaff’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as “direct expenses” and are reflective of the type of revenue being generated. Direct costs of the contract staffing business include wages, employment related taxes and reimbursable expenses.
Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation costs for the portion of awards (for which the requisite service has not been rendered) that are outstanding are recognized as the requisite service is rendered. The compensation cost for that portion of awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for recognition purposes under applicable guidance. There was share-based compensation expense for options for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 of $56,000 and $70,000 respectively. There was no share-based compensation expense for options for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2010 there was $0.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock option awards to be recognized in future periods.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, TeamStaff granted 75,000 options per the terms of an employment agreement with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and recorded share-based compensation expense of $23,000. An additional $14,000 in share-based compensation expense will be recognized over the remainder of fiscal 2010 related to this grant. Also during the quarter, the Company granted 500,000 options per the terms of an employment agreement with the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer and President and recorded share-based compensation expense of $33,000. For the remaining unvested options, the Company will recognize a non cash compensation charge over the Chief Executive Officer’s remaining service period, for the calculated fair value of these options at the grant date. Such charges will be material in future periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, 1,250 options expired or were cancelled unexercised and no options were exercised. During the six months ended March 31, 2010, 5,750 options expired or were cancelled unexercised and no options were exercised. There were 614,375 options outstanding as of March 31, 2010. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, TeamStaff did not grant any options, no options expired or were cancelled unexercised and no options were exercised. There were 32,625 options outstanding as of March 31, 2009.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, TeamStaff did not grant any shares of restricted stock. During the six months ended March 31, 2010, TeamStaff granted 42,500 shares of restricted stock to non-employee directors under its 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”), at the closing price on the award date of $1.34. All of these shares vested immediately. Stock compensation expense associated with these grants and all other grants totaled $27,000 and $138,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, TeamStaff granted an aggregate of 284,259 shares of restricted stock under its 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”); 275,000 shares were granted to Company executives and other management personnel, at a closing price on the award date of $1.70. Of these grants, 70,000 shares were granted to Rick Filippelli, Chief Executive Officer, and 40,000 shares each were granted to Cheryl Presuto, Chief Financial Officer; Dale West, President of TeamStaff Rx; and Kevin Wilson, President of TeamStaff GS. These shares vest over a two year period. As a result of the disposition of the operating assets of TeamStaff Rx, 45,000 of these shares were subsequently cancelled as the applicable vesting conditions were not met. In addition, 9,259 shares were granted to Ms. West in connection with her employment agreement, at the closing price on the award date of $1.35. These shares vested on April 1, 2009. During the six months ended March 31, 2009, TeamStaff granted an aggregate of 341,612 shares of restricted stock under its 2006 Plan. Of these shares, 16,612 shares vested immediately, 50,000 shares are subject to certain performance based vesting requirements and 275,000 shares vest over two years. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, 40,000 of these performance based shares were cancelled as it was determined that the performance based vesting requirements had not been met. Stock compensation expense associated with these grants and all other grants totaled $0.08 million and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. As permitted, the Company will not recognize expense on the performance based shares until it is probable that these conditions will be achieved. Such charges could be material in future periods.

As of March 31, 2010, approximately $73,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested restricted stock awards is expected to be recognized over the next 9 months. This amount does not include compensation costs, if any, related to conditional, performance based restricted stock awards.
At March 31, 2010, the Company had reserved 630,919 shares of common stock for issuance under various option, shares and warrant plans and arrangements.
Earnings (loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and restricted stock grants that vested or are likely to vest during the period. Diluted earnings per share for the 2009 period is calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding, adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities.
The respective determination of weighted average shares used in the computation of earnings (loss) per share is as follows (amounts in thousands);
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
    March 31,     March 31,

Loss from discontinued operations
    5,040       5,157       4,985       5,168  
Under guidance for determining earnings (loss) per share, the effects of common stock equivalents of approximately 265,000 shares are included (even though the shares are anti dilutive) for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, respectively, in the calculation of loss per share for discontinued operations.
Income Taxes
TeamStaff accounts for income taxes in accordance with the “liability” method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized. This guidance also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. At March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company recorded a 100% valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Affecting the Company
In September 2006, the FASB issued a standard which defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged. Any amounts recognized upon adoption as a cumulative effect adjustment will be recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. In February 2008, the FASB issued supplemental guidance in the form of a staff position, which delayed the effective date of the initial standard for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2008 with no effect on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued a standard that permits entities to choose to measure, on an item-by-item basis, specified financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are required to be reported in earnings at each reporting date. This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the provisions of which are required to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2008 with no effect on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2008, the FASB issued a standard which is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to better understand the effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued a standard which stipulated the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ is the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods that ended after September 15, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In October 2009, the FASB issued a standard addressing the recognition of revenue in multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This standard establishes a new selling price hierarchy to use when allocating the revenue of a multiple element arrangement between delivered and undelivered elements. This standard is generally expected to result in revenue recognition for more delivered elements than under current rules. The Company is required to adopt this guidance prospectively for new or materially modified agreements entered into on or after October 1, 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard but, given its current business model and arrangements, does not expect its adoption will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
(3) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
Sale of TeamStaff Rx
Based on an analysis of historical and forecasted results and the Company’s strategic initiative to focus on core business, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company approved and committed to a formal plan to divest the operations of TeamStaff Rx, our wholly-owned subsidiary, based at its Clearwater, Florida location. In evaluating the facets of TeamStaff Rx’s operations, management concluded that this business component meets the definition of a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the results of operations, cash flows and related assets and liabilities of TeamStaff Rx for all periods presented have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from those of continuing businesses.
Effective December 28, 2009, TeamStaff and TeamStaff Rx entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement with Advantage RN, providing for the sale of substantially all of the operating assets of TeamStaff Rx related to TeamStaff Rx’s business of providing travel nurse and allied healthcare professionals for temporary assignments to Advantage RN. The closing of this transaction occurred on January 4, 2010. The Asset Purchase Agreement provided that the purchased assets were acquired by Advantage RN for a purchase price of up to $425,000, of which (i) $350,000 in cash was paid at the closing, and (ii) $75,000 was subject to an escrowed holdback as described in the Asset Purchase Agreement. On March 25, 2010, the Company and Advantage RN completed the analysis related to escrow release conditions and reached an agreement as to the final purchase price. Of the $75,000 held in escrow, $25,000 was returned to the Company and $50,000 was released to Advantage RN, resulting in a final purchase price of $375,000. Additionally, Advantage RN will make rent subsidy payments to TeamStaff Rx totaling $125,000, consisting of: (i) $25,000 paid at closing, and (ii) an additional $100,000 payable in 10 equal monthly installments beginning on March 1, 2010. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Advantage RN will not assume any debts, obligations or liabilities of TeamStaff Rx nor will it purchase any accounts receivable outstanding as of the closing date.

(4) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Payroll Taxes
TeamStaff has received notices from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) claiming taxes, interest and penalties due related to payroll taxes predominantly from its former PEO operations which were sold in fiscal 2003. TeamStaff has also received notices from the IRS reporting overpayments of taxes. Management believes that these notices are predominantly the result of misapplication of payroll tax payments between its legal entities. If not resolved favorably, the Company may incur interest and penalties. Until the sale of certain assets related to the former PEO operations, TeamStaff operated through 17 subsidiaries, and management believes that the IRS has not correctly identified payments made through certain of the different entities, therefore leading to the notices. To date, TeamStaff has been working with the IRS to resolve these discrepancies and has had certain interest and penalty claims abated. TeamStaff has also received notices from the Social Security Administration claiming variances in wage reporting compared to IRS transcripts. TeamStaff believes the notices from the Social Security Administration are directly related to the IRS notices received. TeamStaff had retained the services of Ernst & Young LLP as a consultant to assist in resolving certain of these matters with the IRS and Social Security Administration. TeamStaff believes that after the IRS applies all the funds correctly, any significant interest and penalties will be abated; however, there can be no assurance that each of these matters will be resolved favorably. In settling various years for specific subsidiaries with the IRS, the Company has received refunds for those specific periods; however, as the process of settling and concluding on other periods and subsidiaries is not yet completed, the potential exists for related penalties and interest. In fiscal 2009, the Company paid $1.1 million, related to this matter. No payments have been made in fiscal 2010. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these remaining payroll tax matters will not have a significant adverse effect on its financial position or future results of operations.
Legal Proceedings
RS Staffing Services, Inc.
On April 17, 2007, a Federal Grand Jury subpoena was issued by the Northern District of Illinois to the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, TeamStaff GS, formerly known as RS Staffing Services, requesting production of certain documents dating back to 1997, prior to the time the Company acquired RS Staffing Services. The subpoena stated that it was issued in connection with an investigation of possible violations of Federal criminal laws and related crimes concerning procurement at the DVA. According to the cover letter accompanying the subpoena, the U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust Division (“DOJ”), along with the DVA, Office of the Inspector General, are responsible for the current criminal investigation. RS Staffing Services provided contract staffing at certain DVA hospitals that may be part of the investigation. The return date for documents called for by the subpoena was May 17, 2007. In connection with the same investigation, agents with the DVA, Office of Inspector General, executed a search warrant at the Monroe, Georgia offices of RS Staffing Services.
The government has advised TeamStaff that the DOJ has no intent to charge TeamStaff or any of its subsidiaries or employees in connection with the Federal investigation of contract practices at various government owned/contractor operated facilities. TeamStaff remains committed to cooperate with the DOJ’s continued investigation of other parties.

The Company originally acquired RS Staffing Services in June 2005. As part of the purchase price of the acquisition, the Company issued to the former owners of RS Staffing Services a $3.0 million promissory note, of which $1.5 million and interest of $150,000 was paid in June 2006. On May 31, 2007, the Company sent a notice of indemnification claim to the former owners for costs that have been incurred in connection with the investigation. Effective June 1, 2007, the Company and former owners of RS Staffing Services reached an agreement to extend the due date from June 8, 2007 to December 31, 2008 with respect to the remaining $1.5 million note payable and accrued interest payable. Such agreement has been extended to May 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2010, the amount has not been settled. The Company recognized expenses related to legal representation and costs incurred in connection with the investigation in the amount of $56,000 and $5,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as a component of other income (expense). The Company recognized expenses related to legal representation and costs incurred in connection with the investigation in the amount of $57,000 and $12,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as a component of other income (expense). Cumulative costs related to this matter approximate $1.8 million. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement with RS Staffing Services, the Company has notified the former owners of RS Staffing Services that it is the Company’s intention to exercise its right to setoff the payment of such expenses against the remaining principal and accrued interest due to the former owners of RS Staffing Services.
The Company will pursue the recovery as a right of offset in future periods. Management has a good faith belief that the Company will recover such amounts; however, generally accepted accounting principles preclude the Company from recording an offset to the note payable to the former owners of RS Staffing Services until the final amount of the claim is settled and determinable. At present, no assurances can be given that the former owners of RS Staffing Services would not pursue action against us or that the Company will be successful in the offset of such amounts against the outstanding debt and accrued interest from notice date forward, if any. Accordingly, the Company has expensed costs incurred related to the investigation through March 31, 2010.
Other Matters
As a commercial enterprise and employer, we are subject to various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. These matters can include professional liability, employment-relations issues, workers’ compensation, tax, payroll and employee-related matters and inquiries and investigations by governmental agencies regarding our employment practices. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that we believe is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Potential Contractual Billing Adjustments
At March 31, 2010, TeamStaff GS is seeking approval from the Federal government for gross profit on retroactive billing rate increases associated with certain government contracts at which it has employees staffed on contract assignments. These adjustments are due to changes in the contracted wage determination rates for these contract employees. A wage determination is the listing of wage rates and fringe benefit rates for each classification of laborers whom the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) has determined to be prevailing in a given locality. Contractors performing services for the Federal government under certain contracts are required to pay service employees in various classes no less than the wage rates and fringe benefits found prevailing in these localities. An audit by the DOL at one of the facilities revealed that notification, as required by contract, was not provided to TeamStaff GS in order to effectuate the wage increases in a timely manner. Wages for contract employees currently on assignment have been adjusted prospectively to the prevailing rate and hourly billing rates to the DVA have been increased accordingly.  During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, TeamStaff recognized nonrecurring revenues of $10.8 million and direct costs of $10.1 million, based on amounts that are contractually due under its arrangements with the Federal agencies.  At March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the amount of the remaining accounts receivable with the DVA approximates $9.3 million. The Company has been and continues to be in discussions with representatives of the DVA regarding the matter and anticipates resolution during fiscal 2010. TeamStaff is currently in the process of negotiating a final amount related to gross profit on these adjustments. As such, there may be additional revenues recognized in future periods once the approval for such additional amounts is obtained. The ranges of additional revenue and gross profit are estimated to be between $0.4 million and $0.6 million. At present, the Company expects to collect such amounts during fiscal 2010 based on current discussions and collection efforts. Because these amounts are subject to government review, no assurances can be given that we will receive any additional billings from our government contracts or that if additional amounts are received, that the amount will be within the range specified above.

(5) PREPAID WORKERS’ COMPENSATION:
From November 17, 2003 through April 14, 2009, inclusive, TeamStaff’s workers’ compensation insurance program was provided by Zurich American Insurance Company (“Zurich”). This program covered TeamStaff’s temporary, contract and corporate employees. This program was a fully insured, guaranteed cost program that contained no deductible or retention feature. The premium for the program was paid monthly based upon actual payroll and is subject to a policy year-end audit. Effective April 15, 2009, TeamStaff entered into a partially self-funded workers’ compensation insurance program with a national insurance carrier for the premium year April 15, 2009 through April 14, 2010. The policy was renewed for the premium year April 15, 2010 through April 14, 2011. The Company will pay a base premium plus actual losses incurred, not to exceed certain stop-loss limits. The Company is insured for losses above these limits, both per occurrence and in the aggregate. The Company accrues for estimated claims incurred based on data provided by its insurance carrier.
As part of the Company’s discontinued PEO operations, TeamStaff had a workers’ compensation program with Zurich, which covered the period from March 22, 2002 through November 16, 2003, inclusive. Payments for the policy were made to the trust monthly based on projected claims for the policy period. Interest on all assets held in the trust is credited to TeamStaff. Payments for claims and claims expenses are made from the trust. From time-to-time, trust assets have been refunded to the Company based on Zurich’s and management’s overall assessment of claims experience and historical and projected settlements. In June 2009 and March 2008, Zurich reduced the collateral requirements on outstanding workers’ compensation claims and released $114,000 and $350,000, respectively, in trust account funds back to the Company. The final amount of trust funds that could be refunded to the Company is subject to a number of uncertainties (e.g. claim settlements and experience, health care costs, the extended statutory filing periods for such claims); however, based on a third party’s study of claims experience, TeamStaff estimates that at March 31, 2010, the remaining prepaid asset of $0.3 million will be received within the next twelve months. A portion of this is reflected on TeamStaff’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2010 as a current asset, in addition to approximately $0.2 million related to current policy deposits.
As of March 31, 2010 the adequacy of the workers’ compensation reserves under the Zurich program (which are offset against the trust fund balances in prepaid assets) was determined, in management’s opinion, to be reasonable. In determining our reserves we rely in part upon information regarding loss data received from our workers’ compensation insurance carriers that may include loss data for claims incurred during prior policy periods. In addition, these reserves are for claims that have not been sufficiently developed and such variables as timing of payments and investment returns thereon are uncertain or unknown, therefore actual results may vary from current estimates. TeamStaff will continue to monitor the development of these reserves, the actual payments made against the claims incurred, the timing of these payments, the interest accumulated in TeamStaff’s prepayments and adjust the related reserves as deemed appropriate.
(6) DEBT:
On April 7, 2010, TeamStaff notified Sovereign Business Capital ( “Sovereign”) that it was terminating, effective immediately, the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March 28, 2008, as amended by that certain Modification Agreement dated as of January 8, 2010 (together, the “Loan Agreement”), by and between the Company and Sovereign. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Sovereign had provided the Company with a three-year secured revolving credit line with an initial borrowing availability of up to $3 million; however, effective in January 2010, Sovereign reduced the borrowing availability to $2 million in connection with providing its consent to the Company’s disposition of the operating assets of its TeamStaff Rx subsidiary (see Note 3). The credit provided by Sovereign under the Loan Agreement was secured by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s assets. At March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, there was no debt outstanding under the Loan Agreement. Unused availability (as defined) totaled $1.0 million and $1.7 million, at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively, net of required collateral reserves per the Loan Agreement for certain payroll and tax liabilities.
As the Company previously reported, on February 12, 2010, the Company determined that as of December 31, 2009, it was not in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenant of the Loan Agreement. The Company also reported that it was in discussions with Sovereign regarding obtaining a waiver of its default under the debt service coverage ratio. Subsequently, the Company was notified by Sovereign that it did not intend to renew the Loan Agreement beyond its stated termination date of March 21, 2011 and further that it would waive payment of a termination fee in the event the Company satisfied its obligations under the Loan Agreement prior to August 31, 2010. The Company’s decision to terminate the Loan Agreement follows its discussions with Sovereign of these matters and was made to provide the Company with greater flexibility as it pursues various financing alternatives, including seeking to obtain a substitute credit facility on more favorable terms and being able to avoid the payment of the termination fee to Sovereign. In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company will recognize a charge of $44,000 related to the write off of unamortized financing costs associated with the Loan Agreement.
As of March 31, 2010, TeamStaff had cash and cash equivalents of $2.25 million and net accounts receivable of $11.3 million. At March 31, 2010, the amount of the accounts receivable associated with the DVA retroactive billings approximates $9.3 million and was unbilled at March 31, 2010. The average daily outstanding balance on the facility for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 was $0.1 million. As of March 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficiency of $1.8 million. The disposition of TeamStaff Rx and the related liabilities the Company incurred as a result of severance and disposal accruals has had a negative impact on our working capital position. The Company also classifies a $1.5 million note payable related to the acquisition of RS Staffing Services as a current liability (See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). However, the Company plans to pursue its right of offset against the note for legal expenses incurred and has a good faith belief that we will recover such amounts.

Table of Contents

Although the Company is seeking a new credit facility or other financing arrangement, no assurances can be provided that it will be successful in securing such a new arrangement or the terms on which a new credit or financing arrangement would be made available to the Company. Accordingly, the Company does not currently have the benefit of a loan or financing facility to assist it in meeting its cash needs and no guarantees can be given that it will be able to obtain a new facility. The inability of the Company to secure a new credit facility or financing arrangement may have a material adverse effect on its liquidity, cash flows and results of operations.
Promissory Note (see Note (4) Commitments and Contingencies: “Legal Proceedings”)
In connection with the acquisition of RS Staffing Services, TeamStaff issued two promissory notes to the former owners of RS Staffing Services as part of the acquisition price, in the aggregate principal amount of $3.0 million. The notes bear interest at 5% per annum, and are subordinate to the financing provided by Sovereign described above. One half of the principal ($1.5 million) and interest ($150,000) was due and paid on June 8, 2006. The remaining principal and interest was due in June 2007. As described in Note (4) above, effective June 1, 2007, the Company and former owners of RS Staffing Services reached an agreement to extend the due date of the $1.5 million note payable and accrued interest to May 31, 2010.
Based on contractual terms of the initial agreement and the status of the parties’ discussions, this debt at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009 is classified as a current liability.
(7) STOCK WARRANTS:
The Company had no outstanding warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
(8) MANAGEMENT TRANSITION AND NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
On February 9, 2010, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Zachary C. Parker pursuant to which he became the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President commencing on February 22, 2010 and was elected to the Company’s Board of Directors effective on February 22, 2010. Mr. Parker succeeded Rick J. Filippelli, who served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President and a member of its Board of Directors. As previously reported, Mr. Filippelli resigned from his positions with TeamStaff effective February 5, 2010. The following is a description of the Company’s employment agreement with Mr. Parker, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement.
Mr. Parker’s employment agreement is for an initial term expiring September 30, 2013. Under the employment agreement, Mr. Parker will receive a base salary of $288,000. Upon any termination of his employment on or after the expiration date, other than cause (as defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Parker will be entitled to a severance payment equal to 12 months of his then-current base salary. Mr. Parker may receive a bonus in the sole discretion of the Management Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of up to 70% of his base salary for each fiscal year of employment. The bonus will be based on performance targets and other key objectives established by the committee at the commencement of each fiscal year. For the period commencing on the effective date of the employment agreement to September 30, 2010, Mr. Parker shall be guaranteed a bonus of $45,000. The committee will establish performance targets for the balance of fiscal 2010 in consultation with Mr. Parker within 30 days of the commencement date to enable him to earn an additional bonus for fiscal 2010, not to exceed in the aggregate 70% of the portion of the base salary actually paid in fiscal 2010.
The Company granted Mr. Parker options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock under the 2006 Plan. The options shall vest as follows: 50,000 options vest on the commencement of his employment; 150,000 options shall vest if the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $3.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days; an additional 50,000 options shall vest if the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $4.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days; an additional 50,000 options shall vest if the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $5.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days; an additional 50,000 options shall vest if the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $6.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days; an additional 50,000 options shall vest if the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $7.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days; and the remaining 100,000 options shall vest if the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $9.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days. The options, to the extent vested, shall be exercisable for a period of ten years at the per share exercise price of $1.03, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of execution of the employment agreement.

In the event of the termination of his employment, the options granted under the employment agreement will be treated as follows: (i) in the event his employment is terminated for cause, options granted and not exercised as of the termination date shall terminate immediately and be null and void; (ii) in the event Mr. Parker’s employment with the Company is terminated due to death, or disability, his (or his estate’s or legal representative’s) right to purchase shares of common stock pursuant to any stock option or stock option plan to the extent vested as of the date of termination shall remain exercisable for a period of 12 months, but in no event after the expiration of the option; (iii) in the event of a termination of his employment other than for good reason, such options, to the extent vested as of the date of termination, shall remain exercisable for a period of three months following such termination date, but in no event after the expiration of option; (iv) in the event Mr. Parker’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause, or by him for good reason, as such terms are defined in the employment agreement, vested options shall remain exercisable in accordance with the 2006 Plan; and (v) in the event of a Change of Control, as defined in the employment agreement, vested options shall remain exercisable in accordance with the 2006 Plan.
In the event of the termination of employment by us without “cause” or by Mr. Parker for “good reason,” as those terms are defined in the employment agreement, or in the event his employment is terminated due to his disability, he would be entitled to: (a) a severance payment of 12 months of base salary; (b) continued participation in our health and welfare plans for a period not to exceed 18 months from the termination date; and (c) all compensation accrued but not paid as of the termination date. In the event of the termination of his employment due to his death, Mr. Parker’s estate would be entitled to receive: (a) all compensation accrued but not paid as of the termination date; (b) continued participation in our health and welfare plans for a period not to exceed 18 months from the termination date; and (c) payment of a “Pro Rata Bonus”, which is defined as an amount equal to the maximum bonus Mr. Parker had an opportunity to earn multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the commencement of the fiscal year to the termination date, and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the fiscal year in which he was terminated. If Mr. Parker’s employment is terminated by us for “cause” or by him without “good reason,” he is not entitled to any additional compensation or benefits other than his accrued and unpaid compensation.
In the event that within 90 days of a “Change of Control” as defined in the employment agreement, (a) Mr. Parker is terminated, or (b) his status, title, position or responsibilities are materially reduced and he terminates his employment, the Company shall pay and/or provide to him, the following compensation and benefits: (i) the accrued compensation; (ii) the continuation benefits; and (iii) a lump sum payment equal to 150% of his base salary in effect on the effective date of the change of control. If the payments due in the event of a change in control would constitute an “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the aggregate of such credits or payments under the employment agreement and other agreements shall be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such aggregate payments being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. The priority of the reduction of excess parachute payments shall be in the discretion of Mr. Parker. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Parker is subject to customary confidentiality, non-solicitation of employees and non-competition obligations that survive the termination of such agreements.
Separation Agreement
On February 11, 2010, the Company entered into a separation agreement with its former Chief Executive Officer, Rick J. Filippelli, which memorializes the terms of his departure from the Company. As previously reported, Mr. Filippelli resigned from all positions with Company effective as of February 5, 2010. Consistent with the employment agreement the Company entered into with Mr. Filippelli in November 2009, pursuant to the separation agreement and in consideration of the general release granted by Mr. Filippelli to the Company, the Company agreed to provide Mr. Filippelli with the following: (a) a severance payment of $290,000; (b) the provision of health benefits through February 5, 2011; and (c) all unvested stock options and restricted stock awards shall been deemed vested as of the termination date of his employment and all outstanding options shall remain exercisable for their original exercise period. Mr. Filippelli also agreed that he will not sell the 35,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock originally scheduled to vest in January 2011, and the 30,000 shares of Common Stock underlying the option granted pursuant to the November 2009 employment agreement until the earlier of a change of control of the Company, as defined in such employment agreement, or January 31, 2011.
(9) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2010. Based on this evaluation, the Company has determined that no subsequent events except for the matter discussed below, has occurred which require disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
As discussed in greater detail in Note 6 (Debt), above, in April 2010, the Company terminated its Loan Agreement with Sovereign Business Capital.

ITEM 2:   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking and Cautionary Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “1995 Reform Act”), Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). TeamStaff desires to avail itself of certain “safe harbor” provisions of the 1995 Reform Act and is therefore including this special note to enable TeamStaff to do so. Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “may” and other similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause TeamStaff’s actual results, performance (financial or operating) or achievements to differ from the future results, performance (financial or operating) or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and best estimates and projections about future events. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. The following factors (among others) could cause our actual results to differ materially from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report: our ability to continue to recruit and retain qualified temporary and permanent healthcare professionals and administrative staff at reasonable costs; our ability to attract and retain sales and operational personnel; our ability to enter into contracts with United States Government facilities on terms attractive to us and to secure orders related to those contracts; changes in the timing of orders for and our placement of contract and permanent healthcare professionals and administrative staff; the overall level of demand for services offered by contract and permanent healthcare staffing providers; the variation in pricing of the healthcare facility contracts under which we place contract and permanent healthcare professionals; our ability to manage growth effectively; the performance of our management information and communication systems; the effect of existing or future government legislation and regulation; the impact of medical malpractice and other claims asserted against us; the disruption or adverse impact to our business as a result of a terrorist attack; our ability to carry out our business strategy; the loss of key officers, and management personnel that could adversely affect our ability to remain competitive; the effect of recognition by us of an impairment to goodwill and intangible assets; other tax and regulatory issues and developments; and the effect of adjustments by us to accruals for self-insured retentions.
Other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our other reports filed with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements in this filing to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
TeamStaff believes the accounting policies below represent its critical accounting policies due to the significance or estimation process involved in each. See Note 2 of TeamStaff’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as “Critical Accounting Policies” contained therein for a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition
TeamStaff accounts for its revenues in accordance with ACS 605-45, Reporting Revenues Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, and SAB 104, Revenue Recognition. TeamStaff recognizes all amounts billed to its contract staffing customers as gross revenue because, among other things, TeamStaff is the primary obligor in the contract staffing arrangement; TeamStaff has pricing latitude; TeamStaff selects contract employees for a given assignment from a broad pool of individuals; TeamStaff is at risk for the payment of its direct costs; and TeamStaff assumes a significant amount of other risks and liabilities as an employer of its contract employees, and therefore, is deemed to be a principal in regard to these services. TeamStaff also recognizes as gross revenue and as unbilled receivables, on an accrual basis, any such amounts that relate to services performed by contract employees which have not yet been billed to the customer as of the end of the accounting period.
Revenues related to retroactive billings in 2008 (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) from an agency of the Federal government were recognized when: (1) the Company developed and calculated an amount for such prior period services and had a contractual right to bill for such amounts under its arrangements, (2) there were no remaining unfulfilled conditions for approval of such billings and (3) collectability is reasonably assured based on historical practices with the DVA. The related direct costs, principally comprised of salaries and benefits, are recognized to match the recognized reimbursements from the Federal agency; upon approval, wages will be processed for payment to the employees.

Table of Contents

During the year ended September 30, 2008, TeamStaff recognized revenues of $10.8 million and direct costs of $10.1 million related to these non-recurring arrangements. At March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the amount of the remaining accounts receivable with the DVA approximated $9.3 million and accrued liabilities for salaries to employees and related benefits totaled $8.7 million. The $9.3 million in accounts receivable was unbilled to the DVA at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009. At present, the Company expects to collect such amounts by the end of fiscal 2010 based on current discussions and collection efforts.
Staffing (whether medical or administrative) revenue is recognized as service is rendered. TeamStaff bills its clients based on an hourly rate. The hourly rate is intended to cover TeamStaff’s direct labor costs of the contract employees, plus an estimate for overhead expenses and a profit margin. Additionally, commissions from permanent placements (principally TeamStaff Rx) are included in revenue as placements are made. Commissions from permanent placements result from the successful placement of a medical staffing employee to a customer’s workforce as a permanent employee. The Company also reviews the status of such placements to assess the Company’s future performance obligations under such contracts.
Direct costs of services are reflected in TeamStaff’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as “direct expenses” and are reflective of the type of revenue being generated. Direct costs of the contract staffing business include wages, employment related taxes and reimbursable expenses.
Prepaid Workers’ Compensation
From November 17, 2003 through April 14, 2009, inclusive, TeamStaff’s workers’ compensation insurance program was provided by Zurich American Insurance Company (“Zurich”). This program covered TeamStaff’s temporary, contract and corporate employees. This program was a fully insured, guaranteed cost program that contained no deductible or retention feature. The premium for the program was paid monthly based upon actual payroll and is subject to a policy year-end audit. Effective April 15, 2009, TeamStaff entered into a partially self-funded workers’ compensation insurance program with a national insurance carrier for the premium year April 15, 2009 through April 14, 2010. The policy was renewed for the premium year April 15, 2010 through April 14, 2011. The Company will pay a base premium plus actual losses incurred, not to exceed certain stop-loss limits. The Company is insured for losses above these limits, both per occurrence and in the aggregate. The Company accrues for estimated claims incurred based on data provided by its insurance carrier.
As part of the Company’s discontinued PEO operations, TeamStaff had a workers’ compensation program with Zurich, which covered the period from March 22, 2002 through November 16, 2003, inclusive. Payments for the policy were made to the trust monthly based on projected claims for the policy period. Interest on all assets held in the trust is credited to TeamStaff. Payments for claims and claims expenses are made from the trust. From time-to-time, trust assets have been refunded to the Company based on Zurich’s and management’s overall assessment of claims experience and historical and projected settlements. In June 2009 and March 2008, Zurich reduced the collateral requirements on outstanding workers’ compensation claims and released $114,000 and $350,000, respectively, in trust account funds back to the Company. The final amount of trust funds that could be refunded to the Company is subject to a number of uncertainties (e.g. claim settlements and experience, health care costs, the extended statutory filing periods for such claims); however, based on a third party’s study of claims experience, TeamStaff estimates that at March 31, 2010, the remaining prepaid asset of $0.3 million will be received within the next twelve months. A portion of this is reflected on TeamStaff’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2010 as a current asset, in addition to approximately $0.2 million related to current policy deposits.
As of March 31, 2010 the adequacy of the workers’ compensation reserves under the Zurich program (which are offset against the trust fund balances in prepaid assets) was determined, in management’s opinion, to be reasonable. In determining our reserves we rely in part upon information regarding loss data received from our workers’ compensation insurance carriers that may include loss data for claims incurred during prior policy periods. In addition, these reserves are for claims that have not been sufficiently developed and such variables as timing of payments and investment returns thereon are uncertain or unknown, therefore actual results may vary from current estimates. TeamStaff will continue to monitor the development of these reserves, the actual payments made against the claims incurred, the timing of these payments, the interest accumulated in TeamStaff’s prepayments and adjust the related reserves as deemed appropriate.

Income Taxes
TeamStaff accounts for income taxes in accordance with the “liability” method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized. This guidance also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. At March 31, 2010, the Company provided a 100% deferred tax valuation allowance of approximately $14.2 million.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Affecting the Company
In September 2006, the FASB issued a standard which defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged. Any amounts recognized upon adoption as a cumulative effect adjustment will be recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. In February 2008, the FASB issued supplemental guidance in the form of a staff position, which delayed the effective date of the initial standard for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2008 with no effect on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued a standard that permits entities to choose to measure, on an item-by-item basis, specified financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are required to be reported in earnings at each reporting date. This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the provisions of which are required to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2008 with no effect on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2008, the FASB issued a standard which is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to better understand the effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued a standard which stipulated the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ is the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods that ended after September 15, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In October 2009, the FASB issued a standard addressing the recognition of revenue in multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This standard establishes a new selling price hierarchy to use when allocating the revenue of a multiple element arrangement between delivered and undelivered elements. This standard is generally expected to result in revenue recognition for more delivered elements than under current rules. The Company is required to adopt this guidance prospectively for new or materially modified agreements entered into on or after October 1, 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard but, given its current business model and arrangements, does not expect its adoption will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

As described in greater detail in Note (3) Discontinued Operations, on December 28, 2009, TeamStaff and TeamStaff Rx entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement with Advantage RN, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company, providing for the sale of substantially all of the operating assets of TeamStaff Rx related to TeamStaff Rx’s business of providing travel nurse and allied healthcare professionals for temporary assignments to Advantage RN. The closing of this transaction occurred on January 4, 2010. The Asset Purchase Agreement provided that the purchased assets were acquired by Advantage RN for a purchase price of up to $425,000, of which (i) $350,000 in cash was paid at the closing, and (ii) $75,000 was subject to an escrowed holdback as described in the Asset Purchase Agreement. On March 25, 2010, the Company and Advantage RN completed the analysis related to escrow release conditions and reached an agreement as to the final purchase price. Of the $75,000 held in escrow, $25,000 was returned to the Company and $50,000 was released to Advantage RN, resulting in a final purchase price of $375,000. Additionally, Advantage RN will make rent subsidy payments to TeamStaff Rx totaling $125,000, consisting of: (i) $25,000 payable at closing, and (ii) an additional $100,000 payable in 10 equal monthly installments beginning on March 1, 2010.
Following the disposition of our TeamStaff Rx business, TeamStaff provides staffing services through TeamStaff GS.
As described in greater detail in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements, the results of operations, cash flows and related assets and liabilities of our TeamStaff Rx business was reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from those of our continuing businesses to discontinued operations.
Management Transition
On February 9, 2010, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Zachary C. Parker pursuant to which he became Chief Executive Officer and President of TeamStaff commencing on February 22, 2010. Mr. Parker’s employment agreement also provides for his election to the Company’s Board of Directors effective on February 22, 2010. Mr. Parker succeeded Rick J. Filippelli, who served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President and a member of its Board of Directors. As previously reported, in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, Mr. Filippelli resigned from his positions with TeamStaff effective February 5, 2010. On February 5, 2010, the Board of Directors had named Cheryl Presuto, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, to serve as the Company’s Acting President until Mr. Parker commenced employment as TeamStaff’s Chief Executive Officer and President.
Recent Business Trends
TeamStaff GS is expanding its reach within the government sector beyond DVA opportunities by bidding on Department of Defense staffing contracts afforded to large businesses and GSA’s e-Buy portal, an electronic Request for Quote (RFQ) / Request for Proposal (RFP) system designed to allow Federal buyers to request information, find sources, and prepare RFQs/RFPs, online, for various services offered through GSA’s Multiple Award Schedule. Effective April 6, 2009, TeamStaff GS was awarded an Information Technology (“IT”) Schedule Contract for professional services by the GSA As an IT schedule holder, TeamStaff GS is also now eligible, along with a select number of companies, to participate in bid opportunities and requests for quotes for the Federal government’s IT staffing needs. Additionally, TeamStaff GS is evaluating opportunities to satisfy the staffing needs of other government agencies in addition to the DVA and DOD as a means of horizontal expansion of its client base. TeamStaff GS is also seeking to develop and maintain a nationwide network of teaming partners, including small businesses, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses and other small-businesses certified under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Administration in order to expand and diversify its service offerings.
As described in greater detail below, in April 2010, the Company notified Sovereign Business Capital (“Sovereign”) that it was terminating, effective immediately, the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March 28, 2008, as amended by that certain Modification Agreement dated as of January 8, 2010 (together, the “Loan Agreement”), by and between the Company and Sovereign. At the time of such event, the Company had a maximum borrowing availability of $2 million under the Loan Agreement. Additional information regarding the termination of the Loan Agreement is set forth below under the caption “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Loan Facility”. Although the Company is seeking a new credit facility or other financing arrangement, no assurances can be provided that it will be successful in securing such a new arrangement or the terms on which a new credit or financing arrangement would be made available to the Company.

Although we saw a delay in new solicitation activity based, in part, on the change in administration, we experienced increased solicitation activity during the second fiscal quarter (as well as the current quarter) in areas of our revised strategic focus. We have begun to submit more contract proposals in areas within the scope of our revised strategic business plan, including logistics opportunities within the Department of Defense. However, no assurances can be given that we will be granted contract awards in these fields or that contracts, if awarded, will translate into future revenues. In addition, we believe the government staffing business is stable in an economic downturn due to the longer term duration of its contracts. Management believes that, under the current administration, there will not be a reduction in government spending supporting social programs that benefit military personnel and veterans.

Revenues from TeamStaff’s continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $9.8 million and $11.5 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $1.7 million or 14.6% over the prior fiscal year period. The decrease in revenues from continuing operations is due primarily to net reductions in headcount at certain Government facilities of $1.5 million, reduced overtime of $0.1 million and the conclusion of TeamStaff GS’s sole commercial contract of $.5 million, offset by new business of $0.4 million.
Revenues from TeamStaff’s continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $20.6 million and $23.5 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $2.9 million or 12.3% over the prior fiscal year period. The decrease in revenues from continuing operations is due primarily to net reductions in headcount at certain Government facilities of $2.4 million, reduced overtime at these facilities of $0.7 million and the non-renewal of TeamStaff GS’s sole commercial contract of $.6 million, offset by new business of $0.8 million.
TeamStaff GS is seeking approval from the Federal government for gross profit on retroactive billing rate increases associated with certain government contracts at which it has employees staffed on contract assignments. These adjustments are due to changes in the contracted wage determination rates for these contract employees. A wage determination is the listing of wage rates and fringe benefit rates for each classification of laborers whom the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) has determined to be prevailing in a given locality. Contractors performing services for the Federal government under certain contracts are required to pay service employees in various classes no less than the wage rates and fringe benefits found prevailing in these localities. An audit by the DOL at one of the facilities revealed that notification, as required by contract, was not provided to TeamStaff GS in order to effectuate the wage increases in a timely manner. Wages for contract employees currently on assignment have been adjusted prospectively to the prevailing rate and hourly billing rates to the DVA have been increased accordingly. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, TeamStaff recognized nonrecurring revenues of $10.8 million and direct costs of $10.1 million, based on amounts that are contractually due under its arrangements with the Federal agencies. At March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the amount of the remaining accounts receivable with the DVA approximates $9.3 million. The Company has been and continues to be in discussions with representatives of the DVA regarding the matter and anticipates resolution during fiscal 2010. In addition, TeamStaff is in the process of negotiating a final amount related to gross profit on these adjustments. As such, there may be additional revenues recognized in future periods once the approval for such additional amounts is obtained. The ranges of additional revenue and gross profit are estimated to be between $0.4 million and $0.6 million. At present, the Company expects to collect such amounts during fiscal 2010 based on current discussions and collection efforts. Because these amounts are subject to government review, no assurances can be given that we will receive any additional billings from our government contracts or that if additional amounts are received, that the amount will be within the range and timeframe specified above.

Direct expenses from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $8.8 million and $9.7 million, respectively which represents a decrease of $0.9 million or 9.5% over the prior fiscal year period. As a percentage of revenue from continuing operations, direct expenses were 90.1% and 85.1%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. See the discussion on gross profit below for an explanation of the increase in direct expenses as a percentage of revenue.
Direct expenses from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $18.3 million and $19.7 million, respectively which represents a decrease of $1.4 million or 7.1% over the prior fiscal year period. As a percentage of revenue from continuing operations, direct expenses were 88.7% and 83.7%, respectively, for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. See the discussion on gross profit directly below for an explanation of the increase in direct expenses as a percentage of revenue.
Gross profit from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively which represents a decrease of $0.7 million or 43.5% over the prior fiscal year period. Gross profit from continuing operations, as a percentage of revenue, was 9.9% and 14.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The key drivers for the period over period decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue are increased workers’ compensation expense, increased health and welfare expense and increased vacation accruals as a result of lower employee turnover rates. The Company historically experiences lower gross profit percentages in the second fiscal quarter due to employer unemployment tax liabilities beginning over again as of January first until the federal and individual state wage limits are met. TeamStaff Government Solutions continued to experience poor workers’ compensation claims in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, resulting in increased workers’ compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million over the prior fiscal year period. This additional expense includes required accruals for IBNR (incurred but not reported) claims. The Company has retained a risk control consultant to evaluate practices at the relevant government facilities to recommend improvements in an effort to mitigate this exposure in the future.
Gross profit from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $2.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively which represents a decrease of $1.5 million or 39.2% over the prior fiscal year period. Gross profit from continuing operations, as a percentage of revenue, was 11.3% and 16.3%, for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The key drivers for the period over period decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue are lower overtime at certain government facilities which earn a higher gross profit margin, increased workers’ compensation expense, increased health and welfare expense and increased vacation accruals as a result of lower employee turnover rates. TeamStaff Government Solutions experienced poor workers’ compensation claims in fiscal 2010 to date, resulting in increased workers’ compensation expense of approximately $0.5 million over the prior fiscal year period. This additional expense includes required accruals for IBNR (incurred but not reported) claims.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, which represents an increase of $0.2 million, or 13.4%. Included in the three months ended March 31, 2010 is $0.1 million in fees related to the Company’s search for its new chief executive officer, and $0.1 million in option and restricted stock expense for grants to Company officers and the former chief executive officer. TeamStaff GS SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 include $0.03 million in management consulting fees related to the strategic business review of the division and $0.1 million in increased new business expense for additional sales related headcount and marketing expense. The Company continues with its cost saving initiatives, which have resulted in reduced headcount in non-revenue generating departments and lower general and administrative costs. The Company seeks continued elimination of overhead costs deemed to be non-essential to growth or infrastructure.
SG&A expenses and officer severance for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $3.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively, which represents an increase of $0.7 million, or 21.6%. Included in the six months ended March 31, 2010 is $0.3 million in severance for the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, approximately $150,000 in fees related to the Company’s search for its new chief executive officer, and $0.2 million in option and restricted stock expense for grants to non-employee members of the board of directors, Company officers and the former chief executive officer. TeamStaff GS SG&A expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2010 include $0.1 million in management consulting fees related to the strategic business review of the division and $0.2 million in increased new business expense for additional sales related headcount and marketing expense. The Company continues with its cost saving initiatives, which have resulted in reduced headcount in non-revenue generating departments and lower general and administrative costs. The Company seeks continued elimination of overhead costs deemed to be non-essential to growth or infrastructure.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $27,000 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Depreciation and amortization expense was relatively unchanged at $53,000 and $55,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $0.9 million as compared to income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $0.1 million. This represents a decline of $1.0 million in results from operations from the prior fiscal year period. The decrease is due to lower revenues, lower operating gross profit earned in the fiscal period of 2010 as described above, as well as increased SG&A expense for the investment into TeamStaff GS’s revised government staffing strategy.
Loss from operations for the six months ended March 31, 2010 was $1.5 million as compared to income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $0.7 million. This represents a decline of $2.2 million in results from operations from the prior fiscal year period. The decrease is due to lower revenues, lower operating gross profit earned in the fiscal 2010 as described above, as well as increased SG&A expense for officer severance and the investment into TeamStaff GS’s revised government staffing strategy.
Interest income and other income was negligible for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010. Interest income and other income was $19,000 and $37,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. The comparative reduction was driven by lower cash and equivalents available for investment.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was each approximately $0.03 million as a result of the minimum required borrowings on the Company’s credit facility and interest on capital leases. Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was each approximately $0.05 million as a result of the minimum required borrowings on the Company’s credit facility and interest on capital leases.
The Company recorded other expense of $56,000 and $5,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to legal representation and investigation costs incurred in connection with the Federal Grand Jury subpoena issued to our subsidiary formerly known as RS Staffing Services on April 17, 2007. The subpoena requested production of certain documents dating back to 1997. The Company acquired RS Staffing effective as of June 2005. These expenses are classified as non-operating expenses because the subpoena relates to activity prior to the acquisition. Expenses related to this investigation for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $57,000 and $12,000, respectively.
Beginning in fiscal 2006, the Company provided a 100% deferred tax valuation allowance because it believes that it cannot be considered more likely than not that it will be able to realize the full benefit of the deferred tax asset. The Company determined that negative evidence, including historic and current taxable losses, as well as uncertainties related to the ability to utilize certain Federal and state net loss carry forwards, outweighed any objectively verifiable positive factors, and as such, concluded that a valuation allowance was necessary. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company historically has considered all positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and recent financial performance. The Company did not record a Federal tax benefit for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and recorded tax expense of $10,000 for state tax provision for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010. The Company did not record a Federal tax benefit for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 and recorded tax expense of $7,000 and $11,000 for state tax provision for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, respectively.
Loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1.0 million, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, as compared to income from continuing operations of $0.05 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Loss from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2010 was $1.6 million, or $0.33 per basic and diluted share, as compared to income from continuing operations of $0.6 million, or $0.13 per basic share and $0.12 per diluted share, for the six months ended March 31, 2009.

Loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $25,000 with no effect on basic and diluted earnings per share. This minimal loss is due to employee costs related to the final closure of the operations and office space. Loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $0.6 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share related to the operating activities of TeamStaff RX.
Loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended March 31, 2010 was $1.2 million, or $0.23 per basic and diluted share. Loss from operations of the TeamStaff Rx discontinued business was $0.8 million. This includes the incurred operating loss as well as a charge of $0.1 million for severance to certain TeamStaff Rx employees and $0.3 million in various accrued expenses related to the sale and shut down of the business. Loss from disposal of the TeamStaff Rx discontinued business was $0.3 million, principally from recognition of the remaining unfunded operating lease payments, net of estimated rent subsidy, as well as legal expenses related to the sale. Loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended March 31, 2009 was $1.1 million, or $0.23 per basic share and $0.22 per diluted share related to the operating activities of TeamStaff RX.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1.0 million, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This represents a decline of $0.4 million in net income from the prior fiscal period. Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2010 was $2.8 million, or $0.56 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net loss of $0.5 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended March 31, 2009. This represents a decline of $2.3 million in net income from the prior fiscal period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources; Commitments
Presently, our principal sources of cash to fund our working capital needs is cash generated from operating activities.
Cash from operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2010 was $0.5 million. This decrease in cash was primarily driven by net losses offset by an increase in accounts payable, accrued payroll and accrued expenses.
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2009 was $2.3 million. This decrease in cash was primarily driven by a net losses and a decrease in accounts payable of $1.7 million, of which $1.1 million was for payments made to the IRS for previously recorded prior period tax liabilities.
Cash from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2010 was $152,000 primarily for costs associated with the purchase and implementation of a new operating system for TeamStaff GS to fulfill Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) cost accounting system requirements for the award of certain larger value government contracts.
During the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Company spent $5,000 for the purchase of equipment.
Cash from financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended March 21, 2010 was $0.1 million used to pay off in full capital lease obligations related to the discontinued operation as well as scheduled repayment of capital lease obligations for continuing operations.
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2009 was $29,000, primarily as a result of repayment of capital lease obligations.
Loan Facility
On April 7, 2010, TeamStaff notified Sovereign Business Capital (“Sovereign”) that it was terminating, effective immediately, the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March 28, 2008, as amended by that certain Modification Agreement dated as of January 8, 2010 (together, the “Loan Agreement”), by and between the Company and Sovereign. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Sovereign had provided the Company with a three-year secured revolving credit line with an initial borrowing availability of up to $3 million; however, effective in January 2010, Sovereign reduced the borrowing availability to $2 million in connection with providing its consent to the Company’s disposition of the operating assets of its TeamStaff Rx subsidiary (see Note 3). The credit provided by Sovereign under the Loan Agreement was secured by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s assets. At March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, there was no debt outstanding under the Loan Agreement. Unused availability (as defined) totaled $1.0 million and $1.7 million, at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively, net of required collateral reserves per the Loan Agreement for certain payroll and tax liabilities.

As the Company previously reported, on February 12, 2010, the Company determined that as of December 31, 2009, it was not in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenant of the Loan Agreement. The Company also reported that it was in discussions with Sovereign regarding obtaining a waiver of its default under the debt service coverage ratio. Subsequently, the Company was notified by Sovereign that it did not intend to renew the Loan Agreement beyond its stated termination date of March 21, 2011 and further that it would waive payment of a termination fee in the event the Company satisfied its obligations under the Loan Agreement prior to August 31, 2010. The Company’s decision to terminate the Loan Agreement follows its discussions with Sovereign of these matters and was made to provide the Company with greater flexibility as it pursues various financing alternatives, including seeking to obtain a substitute credit facility on more favorable terms and being able to avoid the payment of the termination fee to Sovereign. In the third quarter of fiscal 2010 the Company will recognize a charge of $44,000 related to the write off of unamortized financing costs associated with the Loan Agreement.
Although the Company is seeking a new credit facility or other financing arrangement, no assurances can be provided that it will be successful in securing such a new arrangement or the terms on which a new credit or financing arrangement would be made available to the Company. Accordingly, the Company does not currently have the benefit of a loan or financing facility to assist it in meeting its cash needs and no guarantees can be given that it will be able to obtain a new facility. The inability of the Company to secure a new credit facility or financing arrangement may have a material adverse effect on its liquidity, cash flows and results of operations.
Cash Flows
As of March 31, 2010, TeamStaff had cash and cash equivalents of $2.25 million and net accounts receivable of $11.3 million. At March 31, 2010, the amount of the accounts receivable associated with the DVA retroactive billings approximates $9.3 million and was unbilled at March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2010 there was no debt outstanding under the Loan Agreement. As of September 30, 2009, there was no debt outstanding. Unused availability (as defined) totaled $1.0 million and $1.7 million, at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively, net of required collateral reserves per the Loan Agreement for certain payroll and tax liabilities. The average daily outstanding balance on the facility for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $0.1 million. As of March 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficiency of $1.8 million. The disposition of TeamStaff Rx and the related liabilities the Company incurred as a result of severance and disposal accruals has had a negative impact on our working capital position. The Company also classifies a $1.5 million note payable related to the acquisition of RS Staffing Services as a current liability (See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). However, the Company plans to pursue its right of offset against the note for legal expenses incurred and has a good faith belief that we will recover such amounts.
Based on its business plan and current working capital position, the Company believes that it has adequate liquidity resources and alternatives, including seeking a new credit facility or financing arrangement, to fund its operations for the next twelve months. However, if the Company’s cash flows from operations are less than expected or if it is unable to secure a new credit facility, the company may need to downsize operations or raise additional capital. There can be no assurance, however, that the company will be successful in raising additional capital or securing financing when needed or on terms satisfactory to the company.
Payroll Taxes
As described in greater detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, TeamStaff had received notices from IRS claiming taxes, interest and penalties due related to payroll taxes predominantly from its former PEO operations which were sold in fiscal 2003. TeamStaff has also received notices from the IRS reporting overpayments of taxes. Management believes that these notices are predominantly the result of misapplication of payroll tax payments between its legal entities. If not resolved favorably, the Company may incur interest and penalties. To date, TeamStaff has been working with the IRS to resolve these discrepancies and has had certain interest and penalty claims abated. TeamStaff has also received notices from the Social Security Administration claiming variances in wage reporting compared to IRS transcripts. TeamStaff believes the notices from the Social Security Administration are directly related to the IRS notices received. TeamStaff believes that after the IRS applies all the funds correctly, any significant interest and penalties will be abated; however, there can be no assurance that each of these matters will be resolved favorably. In settling various years for specific subsidiaries with the IRS, the Company has received refunds for those specific periods; however, as the process of settling and concluding on other periods and subsidiaries is not yet completed and the potential exists for related penalties and interest, the remaining liability ($1.1 million at March 31, 2010) has been recorded in accounts payable. In fiscal 2009, the Company paid $1.1 million, related to this matter. No payments have been made in fiscal 2010. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these remaining payroll tax matters will not have a significant adverse effect on its financial position or future results of operations.

Employment Agreements
During the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2010, we entered into an employment agreement with Zachary C. Parker, who became our Chief Executive Officer and President commencing on February 22, 2010. The material terms and conditions of this employment agreement are summarized in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009. The terms and conditions of the employment agreements we have entered into with our other named executive officers are summarized in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. The summaries of each of the foregoing agreements are incorporated herein by reference.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating parts of our business that are not consolidated into our financial statements. We do not have any arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity or the availability of our capital resources. We have entered into various agreements by which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification provisions are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the indemnified party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations related to such matters as intellectual property rights. Payments by us under such indemnification clauses are generally conditioned on the other party making a claim. Such claims are generally subject to challenge by us and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, our obligations under these arrangements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and, in some instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by us. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, we have not made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of our most recent fiscal year end we were not aware of any obligations under such indemnification agreements that would require material payments.
Effects of Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on TeamStaff’s net revenues and results of operations, as TeamStaff has been able to modify its prices and cost structure to respond to inflation and changing prices.

TeamStaff does not undertake trading practices in securities or other financial instruments and therefore does not have any material exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or other similar risks, which might otherwise result from such practices. TeamStaff is not materially subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, commodity prices or other market rates or prices from market sensitive instruments. TeamStaff believes that it does not have a material interest rate risk with respect to its prior workers’ compensation programs. In connection with TeamStaff’s prior workers’ compensation programs, prepayments of future claims were deposited into trust funds for possible future payments of these claims in accordance with the policies. The interest income resulting from these prepayments is for the benefit of TeamStaff, and is used to offset workers’ compensation expense. Interest rates payable on these funds have been relatively static and at a level where any further downward rate adjustments would not be expected to result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s exposure to workers’ compensation expense.
ITEM 4:   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, have concluded that, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management does not view the Company’s inability to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 as evidence that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as the delay experienced by the Company in completing its annual report was caused by the timing of the closing of the Company’s disposition of the assets of its TeamStaff Rx business. Due to the timing of this transaction, the Company’s management was not able to complete its preparation of this annual report prior to the required filing date.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. Our management, however, believes our disclosure controls and procedures are in fact effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Changes in Internal Controls
As previously reported, in February 2010, we appointed Zachary C. Parker as our new Chief Executive Officer and President to replace our former Chief Executive Officer and President, Rick J. Filippelli. Inherent with changes in management is a change in understanding of the control environment, the business processes and internal controls. Management believes that the integration of Mr. Parker as our new Chief Executive Officer and President has been successful.
Other than as described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Company’s second quarter ended March 31, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1:   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
RS Staffing Services, Inc.
On April 17, 2007, a Federal Grand Jury subpoena was issued by the Northern District of Illinois to the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, TeamStaff GS, formerly known as RS Staffing Services, requesting production of certain documents dating back to 1997, prior to the time the Company acquired RS Staffing Services. The subpoena stated that it was issued in connection with an investigation of possible violations of Federal criminal laws and related crimes concerning procurement at the DVA. According to the cover letter accompanying the subpoena, the U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust Division (“DOJ”), along with the DVA, Office of the Inspector General, are responsible for the current criminal investigation. RS Staffing Services provided contract staffing at certain DVA hospitals that may be part of the investigation. The return date for documents called for by the subpoena was May 17, 2007. In connection with the same investigation, agents with the DVA, Office of Inspector General, executed a search warrant at the Monroe, Georgia offices of RS Staffing Services.
The government has advised TeamStaff that the DOJ has no intent to charge TeamStaff or any of its subsidiaries or employees in connection with the Federal investigation of contract practices at various government owned/contractor operated facilities. TeamStaff remains committed to cooperate with the DOJ’s continued investigation of other parties.
The Company originally acquired RS Staffing Services in June 2005. As part of the purchase price of the acquisition, the Company issued to the former owners of RS Staffing Services a $3.0 million promissory note, of which $1.5 million and interest of $150,000 was paid in June 2006. On May 31, 2007, the Company sent a notice of indemnification claim to the former owners for costs that have been incurred in connection with the investigation. Effective June 1, 2007, the Company and former owners of RS Staffing Services reached an agreement to extend the due date from June 8, 2007 to December 31, 2008 with respect to the remaining $1.5 million note payable and accrued interest payable. Such agreement has been extended to May 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2010, the amount has not been settled. The Company recognized expenses related to legal representation and costs incurred in connection with the investigation in the amount of $56,000 and $5,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as a component of other income (expense). The Company recognized expenses related to legal representation and costs incurred in connection with the investigation in the amount of $57,000 and $12,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as a component of other income (expense). Cumulative costs related to this matter approximate $1.8 million. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement with RS Staffing Services, the Company has notified the former owners of RS Staffing Services that it is the Company’s intention to exercise its right to setoff the payment of such expenses against the remaining principal and accrued interest due to the former owners of RS Staffing Services.
The Company will pursue the recovery as a right of offset in future periods. Management has a good faith belief that the Company will recover such amounts; however, generally accepted accounting principles preclude the Company from recording an offset to the note payable to the former owners of RS Staffing Services until the final amount of the claim is settled and determinable. At present, no assurances can be given that the former owners of RS Staffing Services would not pursue action against us or that the Company will be successful in the offset of such amounts against the outstanding debt and accrued interest from notice date forward, if any. Accordingly, the Company has expensed costs incurred related to the investigation through March 31, 2010.
Other Matters
As a commercial enterprise and employer, we are subject to various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. These matters can include professional liability, employment-relations issues, workers’ compensation, tax, payroll and employee-related matters and inquiries and investigations by governmental agencies regarding our employment practices. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that we believe is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In connection with its medical staffing business, TeamStaff is exposed to potential liability for the acts, errors or omissions of its temporary medical employees. The professional liability insurance policy provides up to $5.0 million aggregate coverage with a $2.0 million per occurrence limit. Although TeamStaff believes the liability insurance is reasonable under the circumstances to protect it from liability for such claims, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be adequate to cover all potential claims.
TeamStaff is engaged in no other litigation, the effect of which would be anticipated to have a material adverse impact on TeamStaff’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

ITEM 1A:   RISK FACTORS
Our operating results and financial condition have varied in the past and may in the future vary significantly depending on a number of factors. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009 for a discussion of the risks associated with our business, financial condition and results of operations. These factors, among others, could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity and cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in statements made in this report and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. The risks identified by TeamStaff in its reports are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. We believe that except for the additional risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.
Our capital requirements are significant and we currently do not have an available credit facility to supplement our revenues derived from operations.
Our capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant. We have, from time to time, utilized our secured credit facility to supplement cash flows from operations in order to satisfy our working capital needs. We have provided approximately $0.2 million and $5.1 million in cash for continuing operating activities for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and used approximately $0.7 million in cash for continuing operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2010. As previously reported, in April 2010, we terminated our secured loan arrangement with Sovereign Business Capital, pursuant to which we had a maximum amount available under such credit facility of $2,000,000. At March 31, 2010, unused availability totaled $1.0 million and there was no debt outstanding. We determined to terminate this arrangement in order to enable us to pursue various alternatives to supplement our cash requirements, including seeking a more favorable credit facility and to avoid the payment of a termination fee to Sovereign. Our available cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2010 totaled approximately $2.2 million. Based on its business plan and current working capital position, the Company believes that it has adequate liquidity resources and alternatives, including seeking a new credit facility or financing arrangement, to fund its operations for the next twelve months. No assurances can be given that we will be able to attain sales levels and support our costs through revenues derived from operations or that we will be able secure a new financing arrangement. In such event, it may be necessary to raise additional capital to fund operations and to meet our obligations in the future. To meet our financing requirements, we may raise funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or strategic alliances. Raising additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities may cause our stockholders to experience substantial dilution in their ownership interests and new investors may have rights superior to the rights of our other stockholders. Raising additional funds through debt financing, if available, may involve covenants that restrict our business activities and options. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional capital when required, or on acceptable terms, we will need to reduce costs and operations substantially.
Following the termination of our credit facility with Sovereign Business Capital, we do not currently have a credit or financing facility to supplement our cash resources.
On April 7, 2010, the Company terminated its loan agreement with Sovereign Business Capital under which the Company had a maximum amount available under such credit facility of $2,000,000. Although the Company did not have any outstanding borrowing under this loan agreement at the time it terminated the agreement, the Company did, from time to time, utilize this facility to supplement its revenues in satisfying its cash requirements. As the Company previously reported, the Company had determined that it was not in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenant of this loan agreement and had held discussions with Sovereign regarding obtaining a waiver of its default under the debt service coverage ratio. The Company decided to terminate this agreement after it was notified by Sovereign that it did not intend to renew the loan agreement beyond its stated termination date of March 31, 2011 and further that it would waive payment of a termination fee in the event the Company satisfied its obligations under the Loan Agreement prior to August 31, 2010. The Company believes that its decision to terminate the loan agreement provided it with greater flexibility as it pursues various alternatives, including seeking to obtain a substitute credit facility or other financing arrangement and allowed it to avoid the payment of the termination fee to Sovereign. Although the Company is seeking a new credit facility or other financing arrangement, no assurances can be provided that it will be successful in securing such a new arrangement or the terms on which a new credit or financing arrangement would be made available to the Company. No assurances can be given that the rate of interest and other terms of any credit or financing arrangement which may be made available to us, including operating or restrictive covenants, would compare favorably with the facility with Sovereign that we terminated in April 2010. Accordingly, the Company does not currently have the benefit of a loan or financing facility to assist it in meeting its cash needs and no guarantees can be given that it will be able to obtain a new facility. The inability of the Company to secure a new credit facility or financing arrangement may have a material adverse effect on its liquidity, cash flows and results of operations.

ITEM 2:   UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During the period covered by this report, the Company did not issue any securities that were not registered under the Securities act of 1933, as amended, except as has been reported in previous filings with the SEC.
ITEM 3:   DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
We had determined in previous quarters that we were not in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenant of our Loan Agreement with Sovereign. However, as previously reported, in April 2010, we terminated our secured loan arrangement with Sovereign Business Capital, pursuant to which we had a maximum amount available under such credit facility of $2,000,000. At March 31, 2010, unused availability totaled $1.0 million and there was no debt outstanding. We determined to terminate this arrangement in order to enable us to pursue various alternatives to supplement our cash requirements, including seeking a more favorable credit facility and to avoid the payment of a termination fee to Sovereign.
