TEAMSTAFF, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007
(Unaudited)
(1) Organization and business:
TeamStaff, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (‘‘TeamStaff’’ or the ‘‘Company’’), was founded in 1969 as a payroll service company and evolved into a national provider of temporary and permanent medical and administrative staffing services. Effective October 23, 2007, TeamStaff’s corporate headquarters is in Somerset, New Jersey. Previously, the Company’s corporate headquarters was located in Atlanta, Georgia. TeamStaff has offices located in Clearwater, Florida; Monroe, Georgia; and Somerset, New Jersey.
When we use the term ‘‘TeamStaff,’’ or the ‘‘Company’’ we mean TeamStaff and its subsidiaries. Currently, we operate only through the parent corporation, TeamStaff, Inc., and TeamStaff Rx, Inc. (‘‘TeamStaff Rx’’) and TeamStaff Government Solutions, Inc. (‘‘TeamStaff GS’’), two wholly-owned subsidiaries of TeamStaff, Inc. On February 12, 2008, the Company announced the name change of RS Staffing Services, Inc., a Monroe, Georgia-based provider of medical and office administration/technical professionals acquired in June 2005, to TeamStaff Government Solutions, Inc. 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 Insur ance Services, Inc., HR2, Inc. and BrightLane.com, Inc. As a result of the sale of our Professional Employer Organization (‘‘PEO’’) business in fiscal year 2004 and other Company business changes, these ‘‘other’’ subsidiaries are not actively operating. References in this filing to ‘‘TeamStaff,’’ the ‘‘Company,’’ ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us’’ and ‘‘our’’ refer to TeamStaff, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
TeamStaff provides specialized medical, nursing and administrative staffing services. TeamStaff provides allied healthcare and nursing professionals and administrative personnel through two staffing subsidiaries. The Company’s TeamStaff Rx subsidiary operates throughout the United States and specializes in providing travel allied medical employees and nurses (typically on a thirteen-week assignment basis), as well as permanent placement services. Allied medical staff includes MRI technicians, mammographers, dosimetrists, ultrasound staff and physicists. TeamStaff Rx places temporary employees for over 250 client facilities. The Company’s TeamStaff GS subsidiary specializes in providing medical and office administration/technical professionals through Federal Supply Schedule (‘‘FSS’’) contracts with both the United States General Services Administration (‘‘GSA’’) and United States Department of Veterans Affairs (‘‘DVA’’). TeamStaff GS places temporary employees at over 70 facilities.
TeamStaff was organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey on November 25, 1969 and maintains its principal executive office at 1 Executive Drive, Suite 130, Somerset, New Jersey 08873 where its telephone number is (877) 523-9897.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by TeamStaff, without audit, pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 latest annual report on Form 10-K. This financial information reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) to present fairly the results for the interim periods. The results of operations and cash flows for such inte rim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
7
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TeamStaff, Inc., and its subsidiaries as of the date of acquisition, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassed to conform to the current period presentation.
(2) significant accounting policies:
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Affecting the Company
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (‘‘FIN 48’’). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement of the tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold has been met. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. TeamStaff conducts business solely in the US and, as a result, files income tax returns for US, New Jersey and various other states and jurisdictions. In the normal course of busi ness the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities. At present, there are no ongoing income tax audits or unresolved disputes with the various tax authorities that the Company currently files or has filed with. Given the Company’s substantial net operating loss carryforwards, which are subject to a full valuation allowance, as well as the historical operating losses in prior periods, the adoption of FIN 48 on October 1, 2007 did not have any effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of December 31, 2007.
Revenue Recognition
TeamStaff accounts for its revenues in accordance with EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenues Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, and SAB 104, Revenue Recognition. TeamStaff recognizes all amounts billed to its temporary staffing customers as gross revenue because, among other things, TeamStaff is the primary obligor in the temporary staffing arrangement; TeamStaff has pricing latitude; TeamStaff selects temporary 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 temporary 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 temporary employees which have not yet been billed to the customer as of the end of the accounting period.
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 temporary employees, plus an estimate to cover overhead expenses and a profit margin. Additionally, commissions from permanent placements 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 Statement of Operations as ‘‘direct expenses’’ and are reflective of the type of revenue being generated. Direct costs of the temporary staffing business include wages, employment related taxes and reimbursable expenses.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the ‘‘2006 Plan’’), which is shareholder approved, permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance awards or other stock unit awards (collectively, ‘‘Awards’’) of up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock to all employees and non-employee directors. All Awards under the 2006 Plan are granted at the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date.
8
The Company’s 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan (the ‘‘2000 Plan’’), which is shareholder approved, permits the grant of options to purchase up to 1,714,286 shares of common stock to all employees as stock compensation. All stock options under the 2000 Plan are granted at the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Employee stock options vest ratably over a two-year period and expire 5 years from the grant date.
The Company’s 2000 Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan (the ‘‘Director Plan’’), which is shareholder approved, permits the grant of options to non-employee directors of TeamStaff. Under the terms of the Director Plan, each non-executive director is automatically granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares upon joining the Board and each September lst, pro rata, based on the time the director has served in such capacity during the previous year. The Director Plan also provides that directors, upon joining the Board, and for one (1) year thereafter, will be entitled to purchase restricted stock from TeamStaff at a price equal to 80% of the closing bid price on the date of purchase up to an aggregate purchase price of $50,000.
Effective January 19, 2007, the Board of Directors changed the compensation terms for non-employee Board members. The Board agreed to forego all cash compensation in lieu of restricted stock grants. Each non-employee Board member received an initial grant under the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan of 15,000 shares of restricted stock following the 2007 annual meeting of shareholders. Additionally, for each Board committee on which such non-employee Board member served, the Board member received a grant of 2,500 shares of restricted stock following the 2007 annual meeting of shareholders. Fifty percent (50%) of all such shares of restricted stock shall vest when the volume-weighted average share price of the Company’s common stock over any 20 consecutive trading days exceeds the price on the date of grant by 20%, with the remaining fifty percent (50%) vesting one year thereafter. Future annual grants shall be determined by the Co mpany’s Compensation Committee. Non-employee Board members also receive reimbursement of their Board-related travel, cell phone and similar expenses.
Effective as of October 1, 2007, our Board determined to reinstitute a cash compensation policy for non-executive directors. Accordingly, the Board established the following cash compensation terms for the members of the Board and committees: The annual director fee for our non-executive directors is $15,000. The Chairman of Board and the Audit Committee Chairman shall receive an additional $3,500 per year. The Vice Chairman of the Board, Chairman of the Management Resources and Compensation Committee and Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall each receive an additional $2,500 per year. Each non-executive director shall be awarded an annual grant of 15,000 shares of restricted common stock pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Long Term Incentive Policy following the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2008, provided that such award shall vest as follows: (A) 50% of the Award shall vest when the volu me-weighted average share price over any 20 consecutive trading days exceeds the price per share of common stock on the date of grant by 20%; and (B) 50% of the Award shall vest one year from the vesting specified in (A) above. Each non-executive director shall be eligible for an additional annual grant of 5,000 shares of restricted stock for each committee membership held by a non-executive director following the Company’s annual meeting to be held in 2008, with such under the Company’s 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan, with such additional award to be fully vested on the date of grant. Reasonable and customary expenses incurred in attending the board and committee meetings are reimbursable.
In adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (‘‘FAS’’) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (‘‘FAS 123(R)’’), the Company applied the modified prospective approach to transition. Under the modified prospective approach, the provisions of FAS 123(R) are to be applied to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date shall be recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date. The compensation cost for that portion of awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for either recognition or pro-forma disclosures under FAS 123. Stock option compensation expense in 2007 is the estimated fair value of options granted amor tized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the
9
entire portion of the award. As a result of the adoption of FAS 123(R), the Company’s results for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 include share-based compensation expense for options totaling approximately $0 and $3,000. The Company did not recognize related tax benefits associated with its share-based compensation arrangements for the three months ended December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2007, there was no remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock option awards to be recognized during the current fiscal year.
During the three months ended December 31, 2007, TeamStaff did not grant any options, 9,000 options expired or were cancelled unexercised and no options were exercised. There were 227,000 options outstanding as of December 31, 2007. During the three months ended December 31, 2006, TeamStaff did not grant any options, no options expired or were cancelled unexercised, and no options were exercised. There were 893,000 options outstanding as of December 31, 2006.
During the three months ended December 31, 2007, TeamStaff granted 120,000 shares of restricted stock to non-employee directors under its 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan as described above. The shares of restricted stock were awarded and valued at the closing price on the award date of $0.84. In accordance with FAS 123(R) the Company will not recognize expense until it is probable that these conditions will be achieved. Such charges could be material in future periods. During the three months ended December 31, 2006, TeamStaff did not grant any shares of restricted stock.

As of December 31, 2007, approximately $68,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested restricted stock awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years. This amount does not include compensation costs, if any, related to conditional restricted stock awards.
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 during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and restricted stock grants that vested for the period adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities.

In accordance with SFAS 128, the following table reconciles basic shares outstanding to fully diluted shares outstanding:

Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between income and expenses reported for financial reporting and tax reporting. The Company is required to record a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax assets to the amount that it believes is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company historically had considered all positive and negative factors, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and recent financial performance. The Company determined that the negative factors, including historic and current taxable losses, as well as uncertainties and limitations 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 full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset was necessary in fisca l 2006. For the year ended September 30, 2007, the Company did not record a tax benefit for net operating losses. In prospective periods, there may be reductions to the valuation allowance to the extent that the Company concludes that it is more likely that not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets can be utilized subject to annual limitations and prior to the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards. The net carrying value of the deferred tax asset was $0 (net of valuation allowance of approximately $11.8 million) at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007. The income tax benefit of $95,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 is attributable to an over-accrual of estimated state taxes.
The Company has available approximately $27.6 million in net operating loss carry forwards for U.S. tax return purposes that begin to expire in 2021 and continue to expire through 2027.
Accumulated Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Minimum Pension Liability Adjustment
A minimum pension liability adjustment is required when the actuarial present value of accumulated benefit obligation exceeds the plan assets and accrued pension liabilities. The minimum pension liability adjustment is recorded as a component of ‘‘Accumulated comprehensive income’’ on the balance sheet and is reflected in Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as ‘‘Minimum pension liability adjustment.’’ The Company used a discount rate of 3.0% each to calculate the projected benefit obligation and the periodic benefit cost calculation for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The Company recorded a gain from such adjustment of $15,000 and $23,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007, accumulated comprehensive loss on the balance sheet reflects the cumulative balance due to the minimum pension l iability adjustment.
(3) RECENT EVENTS:
On February 12, 2008 the Company announced the name change of its Monroe, Georgia based subsidiary, RS Staffing Services, Inc., to TeamStaff Government Solutions, Inc. The name change
11
reflects the subsidiary’s expanding service offerings in providing staffing for government logistical support positions through its LogWorld GSA Schedule, as well as providing medical and office administration/technical professionals through nationwide FSS contracts.
Effective January 27, 2008, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its Nursing Innovations per diem business as described more fully below in Note 4.
(4) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
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 2007, the Company approved and committed to a formal plan to divest the operations of the Nursing Innovations per diem nursing business (‘‘Per Diem’’), based at its Memphis, Tennessee location. In evaluating the facets of Per Diem’s operations, management concluded that this business component meets the definition of a discontinued operation (as defined in SFAS 144, ‘‘Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long – Lived Assets’’). Accordingly, the results of operations, cash flows and related assets and liabilities of Per Diem have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from those of continuing businesses.
Effective January 27, 2008, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its Nursing Innovations per diem nursing business to Temps, Inc. for $0.45 million. The general terms of the transaction were an all-cash sale for $0.45 million, subject to an escrow of $90,000 for potential post-closing contingencies. Management believes that the collection of the escrow will be collected in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.
Net revenues for the Nursing Innovations per diem operations for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
Effective May 31, 2006, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its DSI division to CompuPay, Inc. for $9.0 million. The general terms of the transaction were an all-cash sale for $9.0 million, subject to an escrow of $250,000 for potential post-closing contingencies. On November 30, 2006, CompuPay released $125,000 of the escrow to TeamStaff and released the remaining escrow on May 31, 2007. The agreement called for minimum working capital requirements that resulted in a purchase price adjustment of $248,677, which was paid to TeamStaff on September 11, 2006. The sale also included a transition agreement whereby CompuPay would sublease certain office space at DSI’s current location from TeamStaff, among other standard agreements.
There were no net revenues for the DSI division for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

(5) COMMITMENT 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. 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 as described in Note 4, 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 has retained the services of Ernst & Young LLP as a consultant to assist it 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 and the potential exists for related penalties and interest, such amounts have been recorded in accounts payable in the accompanying balance sheets. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these pay roll tax matters will not have a significant effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Legal Proceedings
On April 17, 2007, a Federal Grand Jury subpoena was issued by the Northern District of Illinois to the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary formerly known as RS Staffing Services requesting production of certain documents dating back to 1997, prior to the time the Company acquired RS Staffing. The subpoena stated that it is 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, along with the DVA, Office of the Inspector General, are responsible for the current criminal investigation. RS Staffing Services provides temporary 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, ex ecuted a search warrant at the Monroe, Georgia offices of RS Staffing Services. The Company is cooperating fully with the Department of Justice investigation.
The government has advised TeamStaff that, based on all the information known to date, the Company is not a target of the government’s investigation and that the government has no intention of indicting TeamStaff.
The Company originally acquired RS Staffing Services in May 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 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 September 1, 2008 with respect to the remaining $1.5 million note payable and accrued interest payable on June 8, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, 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 $1.486 million during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, as a component of other income (expen se). The Company recognized expenses related to legal representation and costs incurred in connection with the investigation in the amount of $0.1 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2007, as a component of other income (expense). Cumulative costs related to this matter approximate $1.6 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. Accordingly, the Company has expensed costs related to the investigation at December 31, 2007.
Potential Contractual Billing Adjustments
TeamStaff GS is seeking approval from the federal government for 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 which the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor has determined to be prevailing in a given locality. Contractors performing services for the federal government are required to pay service employees in various classes no less than the wage rates and fringe benefits found prevailing in these localities. The Company estimates that such billings could approximate $2.5 million to $4.0 million, with corresponding gross profit estimated to be between $375,000 and $600,000. The Company is currently in discussions wi th the
14
Department of Labor and government contracting personnel to obtain the appropriate approvals for such pay and billing adjustments. 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.
(6) PREPAID WORKERS’ COMPENSATION:
TeamStaff’s current workers’ compensation insurance program is provided by Zurich American Insurance Company (‘‘Zurich’’). This program covers TeamStaff’s temporary employees and its corporate employees. The program is managed by Cedar Hill and GAB Robins provides claims handling services. This program is a fully insured, guaranteed cost program that contains no deductible or retention feature. The premium for the program is paid monthly based upon actual payroll and is subject to a policy year-end audit.
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 17, 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 managers’ overall assessment of claims experience and historical and projected settlements. In March 2006 and in the year ended September 30, 2007, Zurich reduced the collateral requirements on outstanding workers’ compensation claims and released $2.25 million and $1.19 million, 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 December 31, 2007, the remaining prepaid asset of $0.3 million will be received within the next twelve months. This is reflected on TeamStaff’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 as a current asset, in addition to approximately $150,000 related to current policy deposits.
As of December 31, 2007 the adequacy of the workers’ compensation reserves (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.
(7) DEBT:
In connection with the acquisition of TeamStaff GS, formerly known as RS Staffing Services, TeamStaff secured financing with PNC Bank in the form of a $7.0 million revolving credit facility. The credit facility was provided by PNC Bank effective on June 8, 2005 to (i) provide for the acquisition of RS Staffing Services; (ii) refinance an outstanding senior loan facility; and (iii) provide ongoing working capital. Effective February 13, 2006, TeamStaff entered into an amendment to the revolving credit note, increasing the revolving credit facility to $8.0 million. Revolving credit advances under the credit facility bear interest at either a PNC Bank internal rate that approximates the Prime Rate plus 25 basis points or LIBOR plus 275 basis points, whichever is higher. The facility has a three-year life and contains term and line of credit borrowing options. The facility is subject to certain restrictive covenants includinga fixed cha rge coverage ratio if the Company fails to maintain invested cash and line availability minimum requirements. As of September 30, 2007, TeamStaff was in compliance with all loan covenants. The facility is subject to acceleration upon non-payment or various other standard default clauses. In addition, the Company granted PNC Bank a lien and security interest on all of its
15
assets. The facility was paid off with the proceeds from the sale of DSI on May 31, 2006 and the line was not drawn upon subsequently until February 8, 2007. The line was not been drawn upon from the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 until the first quarter of fiscal 2008. As of December 31, 2007, there was $7,000 of debt outstanding under the credit facility and $4.7 million remains available under the line, based on defined billed accounts receivable. The interest rate on the facility effective at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 7.5% and 8.5%, respectively.
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 PNC Bank described above. One half of the principal ($1.5 million) and interest ($150,000) was due on June 8, 2006 and payment was made in the amount of $1.65 million. The remaining principal and interest was due in June 2007. As described in Part II, Item 1 below, 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 that was payable on June 8, 2007 until September 1, 2008.
Based on contractual terms of the initial agreement and the status of the parties’ discussions, long-term debt at December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007 is classified as a current liability.
(8) STOCK WARRANTS:
During the three months ended December 31, 2007, no warrants were issued, warrants to purchase 598,000 shares of common stock expired unexercised and no warrants were exercised. The Company has no remaining outstanding warrants. During the three months ended December 31, 2006, no warrants were issued, no warrants expired unexercised and no warrants were exercised.

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. 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 o f future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements included in this 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 qualified temporary and permanent healthcare professionals and administrative staff at reasonable costs; our ability to retain qualified temporary healthcare professionals and administrative staff for multiple assignments at reasonable costs; our ability to attract and retain sales and operational personnel; our ability to enter into contracts with hospitals, healthcare facility clients, affiliated healthcare networks, physician practice groups and the United States government on terms attractive to us and to secure orders related to those contracts; our ability to demonstrate the value of our services to our healthcare and other facility clients; changes in the timing of hospital, healthcare facility clients’, physician practice groups’ and U.S. Government orders for and our placement of temporary and permanent healthcare professionals and administrative staff; the general level of patient occupancy at our hospital, healthcare facility clients’ and physician practice groups’ facilities; the overall level of demand for services offered by temporary and permanent healthcare staffing providers; the ability of our hospital, health care facility and physician practice group clients to retain and increase the productivity of their permanent staff; the variation in pricing of the healthcare facility contracts under which we place temporary and permanent healthcare professionals; our ability to successfully implement our strategic growth, acquisition and integration strategies; our ability to successfully integrate completed acquisitions into our current operations; our ability to manage growth effectively; our ability to leverage our cost structure; the performance of our management information and communication systems; the effect of existing or future government legislation and regulation; our ability to grow and operate our business in compliance with these legislation and regulations; 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; the disruption or adverse impact to our business as a result of the failure of our information sy stems; 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; 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, 2007 and our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 2007 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Affecting the Company
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (‘‘FIN 48’’). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement of the tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold has been met. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. TeamStaff conducts business solely in the US and, as a result, files income tax returns for US, New Jersey and various other states and jurisdictions. In the normal course of busi ness the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities. At present, there are no ongoing income tax audits or unresolved disputes with the various tax authorities that the Company currently files or has filed with. Given the Company’s substantial net operating loss carryforwards, which are subject to a full valuation allowance, as well as the historical operating losses in prior periods, the adoption of FIN 48 on October 1, 2007 did not have any effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of December 31, 2007.
Revenue Recognition
TeamStaff accounts for its revenues in accordance with EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenues Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, and SAB 104, Revenue Recognition. TeamStaff recognizes all amounts billed to its temporary staffing customers as gross revenue because, among other things, TeamStaff is the primary obligor in the temporary staffing arrangement; TeamStaff has pricing latitude; TeamStaff selects temporary 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 temporary 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 temporary employees which have not yet been billed to the customer as of the end of the accounting period.
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 temporary employees, plus an estimate to cover overhead expenses and a profit margin. Additionally, commissions from permanent placements 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 Statement of Operations as ‘‘direct expenses’’ and are reflective of the type of revenue being generated. Direct costs of the temporary staffing business include wages, employment related taxes and reimbursable expenses.
Prepaid Workers’ Compensation
TeamStaff’s current workers’ compensation insurance program is provided by Zurich American Insurance Company (‘‘Zurich’’). This program covers TeamStaff’s temporary employees and its corporate employees. The program is managed by Cedar Hill and GAB Robins provides claims handling services. This program is a fully insured, guaranteed cost program that contains no deductible or retention feature. The premium for the program is paid monthly based upon actual payroll and is subject to a policy year-end audit.
18
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 17, 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 managers’ overall assessment of claims experience and historical and projected settlements. In March 2006 and in the year ended September 30, 2007, Zurich reduced the collateral requirements on outstanding workers’ compensation claims and released $2.25 million and $1.19 million, 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 December 31, 2007, the remaining prepaid asset of $0.3 million will be received within the next twelve months. This is reflected on TeamStaff’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 as a current asset, in addition to approximately $150,000 related to current policy deposits.
As of December 31, 2007 the adequacy of the workers’ compensation reserves (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.
Deferred Taxes
TeamStaff accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, ‘‘Accounting for Income Taxes.’’ Under SFAS No. 109, 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 balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized. SFAS No. 109 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 December 31, 2007, the Company provided a 100% deferred tax valuation allowance of approximately $11.8 million. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company historically has considered all positive and negative factors, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and recent financial performance. The Company determined that negative factors, 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. The Company is providing a 100% valuation allowance that it is more likely than not that it will not be able to realize the full benefit of the deferred tax asset. The establishment of the deferred tax asset allowance does not preclude the Company from reversi ng any or all of the allowance in future periods if the Company believes the positive factors are sufficient enough to utilize the deferred tax asset, nor does it limit the ability to utilize losses for tax purposes, subject to loss carry forward limitations and periods permitted by law.
Overview
TeamStaff provides specialized medical, nursing and administrative staffing services and allied healthcare and nursing professionals and administrative personnel through two staffing subsidiaries. The Company’s TeamStaff Rx subsidiary operates throughout the United States and specializes in
19
providing travel allied medical employees and nurses (typically on a thirteen-week assignment basis), as well as permanent placement services. Allied medical staff includes MRI technicians, mammographers, dosimetrists, ultrasound staff and physicists. TeamStaff Rx places temporary employees for over 250 client facilities. The Company’s TeamStaff GS subsidiary specializes in providing medical and office administration/technical professionals through Federal Supply Schedule (‘‘FSS’’) contracts with both the United States General Services Administration (‘‘GSA’’) and United States Department of Veterans Affairs (‘‘DVA’’). TeamStaff GS places temporary employees at over 70 facilities.
The Company has implemented several initiatives to position the staffing services subsidiaries for growth in fiscal 2008. Sales initiatives include assessing, restructuring and adding to its sales force and recruiting efforts, restructuring sales force incentive compensation to better reflect pay for performance and continued management of a pricing and gross margin improvement plan. The Company hired a Director of Sales experienced in allied and nurse travel staffing to oversee the sales efforts at TeamStaff Rx and a Director of Sales with government contract bid experience at TeamStaff GS. In addition, TeamStaff Rx hired several sales and recruiting managers experienced in the staffing industry. As part of the marketing initiative, the Company hired an experienced Marketing Manager. Recent efforts to build marketing presence include the launching of new TeamStaff Rx, TeamStaff GS and corporate websites, implementing an aggressive print advertisement campaign, and revising our strategic marketing communications plan in an effort to attract allied medical and nurse travelers. Additionally we have added several marketing events to our tradeshow calendar in order to increase our brand recognition and participation in both the commercial and government sectors. This added exposure is allowing us to introduce our suite of offerings to an expanded market. We initiated a corporate branding campaign which will promote consistency and brand recognition as well as increase TeamStaff’s visibility in the marketplace. In February 2008 we announced the renaming of RS Staffing Services, the Company’s government staffing subsidiary, to TeamStaff Government Solutions. The name change reflects the subsidiary’s expanding service offerings in providing staffing for government logistical support positions. To assist with logistics staffing contract expansion, the Company hired a Director of Operations with logistics and military operations experience for Te amStaff GS. We are expanding our reach within the government sector beyond VA opportunities by bidding on Department of Defense staffing contracts afforded to large businesses.
Longer term, we continue to believe the demand for temporary medical personnel will stay strong. Key drivers in our business segment include the declining health of an aging population, advances in medical technology, hospital employee turnover and growth in hospital admissions. We believe demand will also increase as more states introduce legislation for mandatory minimum caregiver-to-patient ratios and overtime limitations. The introduction of such legislation should favorably impact our temporary travel nurse staffing business. Our acquisition of TeamStaff GS, formerly known as RS Staffing Services, completed in June 2005 gives us a strong presence in the government sector and provides us with an opportunity to bid on awards for large multi-year contracts with solid operating margins. We continue to focus on our sales and marketing efforts throughout the divisions in order to increase our contact with current and prospective clients.
On January 31, 2008, we completed the sale of our per diem nurse staffing business located in Memphis, Tennessee and operating under the name of Nursing Innovations, to Temps, Inc. Under the terms of the definitive Asset Purchase Agreement, effective as of January 27, 2008, we received a cash purchase price of $447,000 for the acquired business and related assets of which $357,000 was paid at closing and $90,000 of required escrow is expected to be received six months from the closing date. Payment to TeamStaff will be subject to the downward adjustment for the amount of pre-closing accounts receivables uncollected by the purchaser during such six-month period. As described in greater detail in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements, the results of operations, cash flows and related assets and liabilities of our per diem nurse staffing business was reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007 from those of our continuing businesses.

Results of Operations
TeamStaff’s revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $15.5 million and $16.7 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $1.2 million, or 7.5% over the prior fiscal year. Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 include $11.0 million and $11.1 million, respectively, related to TeamStaff GS. This subsidiary’s revenues helped offset the decrease in revenues in the TeamStaff Rx travel allied and travel nursing subsidiary from the first fiscal quarter of 2007 to the first fiscal quarter of 2008. The decrease in revenue is in part due to the loss of certain clients coupled with competition from state associations in certain markets. It is the Company’s hope that the management changes made in fiscal 2007, as well as a redirected sales focus, will help to reestablish relationships with some of these former clients.
Direct expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $12.7 million and $14.2 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $1.5 million, or 10.6%. This decrease is a result of decreased revenues as well as the effects of a gross margin improvement plan. As a percentage of revenue, direct expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were 82.0% and 84.8%, respectively.
Gross profits for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $2.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively, which represents an increase of $0.3 million, or 9.3%. The improvement in gross margin is a direct result of increased pricing on contracts and direct cost control initiatives. Gross profit, as a percentage of revenue, was 18.0% and 15.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
TeamStaff GS is seeking approval from the federal government for 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 which the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor has determined to be prevailing in a given locality. Contractors performing services for the federal government are required to pay service employees in various classes no less than the wage rates and fringe benefits found prevailing in these localities. The Company estimates that such billings could approximate $2.5 million to $4.0 million, with corresponding gross profit estimated to be between $375,000 and $600,000. The Company is currently in discussions with the Department of Labor and government contracting personnel to obtain the appropriate approvals for such pay and billing adjustments. 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.
Selling, general and administrative (‘‘SG&A’’) expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $2.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $0.7 million, or 21.5%. The Company continues with its cost saving initiatives, which have resulted in reduced headcount and employee related expenses, as well as lower G&A costs. This savings helped to offset an increase in new business expense of $0.1 million from the first fiscal quarter of 2007 to the first fiscal quarter of 2008. This increased spending is related to increased sales staff and marketing efforts. The Company seeks continued elimination of overhead costs deemed to be non-essential to growth or infrastructure.
Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $89,000 and $91,000, respectively.
Income from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $0.1million compared to a loss from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2006 of $0.8 million. This represents an improvement of $0.9 million in results from operations from the first fiscal quarter of 2007 to the first fiscal quarter of 2008.
Other income, which is comprised of interest income and late fee income, for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $44,000 and $74,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $30,000. This is a result of decreased late fee income in the first fiscal quarter of 2008 due to a
21
reduction in accounts receivable in the TeamStaff Rx subsidiary and interest earned on the cash proceeds of the sale of the DSI Payroll Services division in the first fiscal quarter of 2007.
Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $36,000 and $57,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $21,000.
The Company recorded other expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007 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 expense because the subpoena relates to activity prior to the acquisition.
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 tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2007.Income tax benefit from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $0.1 million as a result of adjustments in amounts accrued for tax provisions or settlements for fiscal year 2006 when the final federal and state returns were prepared and filed.
Income from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $36,000, with no impact on basic and diluted earnings per share, as compared to a loss from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2006 of $0.7 million, or $(0.04) per basic and diluted share.
Loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was minimal, with no impact on basic and diluted earnings per share, as compared to income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended December 31, 2006 of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share. Income from operations from the discontinued business unit, net of tax, for the three months ended December 31, 2006, was $0.1 million. This is a result of the discontinued per diem business unit. Income from disposal, net of tax, of $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006 is a result of the release of $125,000 escrow related to the sale of the DSI Payroll Services division.
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $35,000 with no impact on basic and diluted earnings per share, as compared to a net loss of $0.5 million, or $(0.03) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2006. This represents an improvement of $0.5 million in net income from the first fiscal quarter of 2007 to the first fiscal quarter of 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources; Commitments
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $16,000 compared to net cash used by operating activities of $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006. Sources of cash for the first fiscal quarter of 2008 was primarily from accounts receivable collections offset by a use of cash related to payment of legal fees and other accrued expenses. Losses from continuing operations as well as increased accounts receivable and decreased current liabilities contributed to the use of cash during the first fiscal quarter of 2007.
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $78,000, primarily for expenses related to the implementation of a new front office computer system and the redesign of our traveler website. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was $30,000, primarily for the purchase of fixed assets.
Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was minimal.

Effective June 8, 2005, TeamStaff entered into a $7.0 million revolving credit facility provided by PNC Bank to (i) provide for the acquisition of TeamStaff GS, formerly known as RS Staffing Services, Inc.; (ii) refinance an outstanding senior loan facility; and (iii) provide ongoing working capital. Effective February 13, 2006, TeamStaff entered into an amendment to the revolving credit note, increasing the revolving credit facility to $8.0 million. Revolving credit advances bear interest at either the Prime Rate plus 25 basis points or LIBOR plus 275 basis points, whichever is higher. The facility has a three-year life and contains term and line of credit borrowing options. The facility is subject to certain restrictive covenants including a fixed charge coverage ratio if the Company fails to maintain invested cash and line availability minimum requirements. At December 31, 2007, TeamStaff was in compliance with the cash and line availability minimum requirements. The facility is subject to acceleration upon non-payment or various other standard default clauses. In addition, the Company granted PNC Bank a lien and security interest on all of its assets. As of December 31, 2007, there was $7,000 outstanding under the credit facility and $4.7 million remains available under the line, based on defined billed accounts receivable. The interest rate on the facility effective at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 7.5% and 8.5%, respectively.
The facility expires in June 2008 and the Company is seeking to replace the facility with PNC Bank or another financial institution. Should the Company be unable to obtain an extension or a replacement credit facility on acceptable terms, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, interest expense and cash flows. If the facility is replaced or modified prior to June 2008, the Company will incur a non-cash write off of the then unamortized capitalized financing fees. This unamortized balance was $21,000 at December 31, 2007.
Availability under the PNC Bank line of credit is directly related to the successful assignment of certain accounts receivable. Certain government accounts of TeamStaff GS are required to execute ‘‘Acknowledgements of Assignment.’’ There can be no assurance that every TeamStaff GS government account will execute the documentation to effectuate the assignment and secure availability. The failure of government third parties to sign the required documentation could result in a decrease in availability under the line of credit.
As of December 31, 2007, TeamStaff had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $0.5 million and net accounts receivable of $7.1 million. TeamStaff also had $4.7 million of unused availability under the revolving credit facility provided by PNC Bank. As of December 31, 2007, TeamStaff had working capital of $1.4 million. The Company believes that, along with cash on hand, the availability under the existing revolving line of credit and extended or successor facilities will provide sufficient liquidity over the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are, in the opinion of management, likely to have a current or future material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
23
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.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
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 has a material interest rate risk with respect to our 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. If interest rates in these periods decrease , TeamStaff’s workers’ compensation expense would increase because TeamStaff would be entitled to less interest income on the deposited funds. Further, and as discussed elsewhere in this filing, TeamStaff, Inc. has an $8.0 million revolving credit facility by PNC Bank. Revolving credit advances bear interest at either the Prime Rate plus 25 basis points or LIBOR plus 275 basis points, whichever is higher. The facility has a three-year life and contains term and line of credit borrowing options. The facility is subject to certain restrictive covenants, including minimum combined cash and line availability. The facility is subject to acceleration upon non-payment or various other standard default clauses. Material increases in the Prime or LIBOR rate could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, the status of the revolving credit facility as well as interest costs.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports 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 the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of ‘‘disclosure controls and procedures’’ in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in designing and evalu ating the controls and procedures.
Based on their evaluation, as of December 31, 2007, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s 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 President and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been 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 first quarter ended December 31, 2007, 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 formerly known as RS Staffing Services requesting production of certain documents dating back to 1997, prior to the time the Company acquired RS Staffing. The subpoena stated that it is 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, along with the DVA, Office of the Inspector General, are responsible for the current criminal investigation. RS Staffing Services provides temporary 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 I nspector General, executed a search warrant at the Monroe, Georgia offices of RS Staffing Services. The Company is cooperating fully with the Department of Justice investigation.
The government has advised TeamStaff that, based on all the information known to date, the Company is not a target of the government’s investigation and that the government has no intention of indicting TeamStaff.
The Company originally acquired RS Staffing Services in May 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 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 September 1, 2008 with respect to the remaining $1.5 million note payable and accrued interest payable on June 8, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, 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 $1.486 mill ion during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, 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 $0.1 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2007, as a component of other income (expense). 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. Accordingly, the Company has expensed costs related to the investigation at December 31, 2007.
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
25
policy provides up to $5,000,000 aggregate coverage with a $2,000,000 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
Readers are referred to Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 for a discussion of the risks associated with our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We believe that there have not been any material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 2: UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None.
ITEM 3: DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
None.
ITEM 5: OTHER INFORMATION
The Company’s common stock is currently traded on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol ‘‘TSTF.’’ On December 31, 2007, the closing bid price of a share of the Company’s common stock was $0.70. If the Company fails to meet any of the continued listing standards of The Nasdaq Global Market, the Company’s common stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market. These continued listing standards include specifically enumerated criteria, such as a $1.00 minimum closing bid price.
As previously reported, on July 6, 2007, the Company received a Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market notifying the Company that the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock was below the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for 30 consecutive trading days and that, as a result, the Company no longer meets The Nasdaq Stock Market’s minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5). Nasdaq provided the Company with 180 calendar days, or until January 2, 2008, to regain compliance. As of January 2, 2008 the Company did not regain compliance with this requirement and on January 4, 2008, the Company received a notice that its common stock will be delisted. Pursuant to applicable Nasdaq rules, the Company appealed the delisting determination by the Nasdaq staff to a Nasdaq Listings Qualifications Panel and a hearing was held before the Panel on February 7, 2008. The Company’s appeal has stayed the delisting of its common stock pending a decision by a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. The Panel’s decision is expected within thirty (30) days from the hearing date. In addition, the Company’s board of directors has authorized the approval of a reverse stock split in order to facilitate its ability to regain compliance with the continuing listing standards of The Nasdaq Global Market.
If the Company’s common stock were to be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, trading of the common stock most likely will be conducted in the over-the-counter market on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board. At present, no assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in remaining listed on The Nasdaq Global Market.
