Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Decline: Revenues decreased 8.2% ($1.6 million) for the quarter and 7.2% ($4.1 million) for the nine months compared to the prior year periods. This was driven by underperformance in the travel allied and nursing divisions, partially offset by growth in the RS Staffing government sector.
- Profitability: The company reported a net loss of $1.2 million for the quarter, compared to net income of $4.2 million in the same period last year. The prior year income included a significant gain from the disposal of the DSI Payroll Services division ($4.6 million), which is not present in the current period.
- Unusual Expense: A one-time legal expense of $1.05 million was recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2007, related to a Federal Grand Jury subpoena investigation concerning the RS Staffing subsidiary.
- Cash Flow: Net cash used in operating activities was minimal ($5,000) for the nine months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $7.4 million provided by operations in the prior year. The prior year cash flow was heavily influenced by the $9.0 million cash proceeds from the sale of the DSI division.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Management Restructuring: In January 2007, the company restructured senior management and the Board of Directors to accelerate revenue growth and reduce expenses. Rick J. Filippelli was appointed President, CEO, and CFO.
- Strategic Initiatives: The company is implementing sales force restructuring, new incentive compensation plans, and an aggressive advertising campaign to attract allied medical and nurse travelers. A new Director of Sales was hired for the government sector.
- Legal Contingency: The company is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Department of Veterans Affairs regarding procurement at VA hospitals. While the company is not currently a target, it has incurred significant legal costs. The company intends to offset these costs against a $1.5 million note payable to the former owners of RS Staffing, though recovery is not guaranteed.
- Liquidity: The company maintains $2.1 million in cash and $4.6 million in unused availability under its revolving credit facility. Management believes this provides sufficient liquidity for the next 12 months.
- Market Risk: The company received a NASDAQ deficiency letter in July 2007 regarding its stock price falling below the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement. The company has 180 days to regain compliance.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Legal Investigation Outcome: Verify the status of the Federal Grand Jury subpoena and the likelihood of successfully offsetting the $1.05 million legal expense against the note payable to former RS Staffing owners.
- Revenue Recovery: Monitor the effectiveness of the new sales initiatives and management restructuring in reversing the revenue decline in the travel allied and nursing divisions.
- NASDAQ Compliance: Track the stock price to ensure it meets the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement within the 180-day compliance window to avoid delisting.
- Debt Covenants: Confirm continued compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio and other covenants of the $8.0 million PNC Bank revolving credit facility.
- Deferred Tax Assets: Review the 100% valuation allowance on deferred tax assets ($17.9 million) and assess the probability of future reversals based on sustained profitability.
