Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Decline: Total revenue decreased 6.6% to $66.9 million. This was driven by a $6.0 million decrease in TeamStaff Rx revenues, partially offset by growth in RS Staffing Services (which generated $44.9 million in 2007 vs. $43.8 million in 2006).
- Improved Operating Loss: Loss from continuing operations improved significantly from $18.5 million in 2006 to $3.4 million in 2007. The 2006 figure was heavily impacted by a one-time $16.9 million tax valuation allowance charge, which did not recur in 2007.
- Discontinued Operations: The Nursing Innovations per diem unit was classified as discontinued. This resulted in a $1.3 million loss in 2007 (including a $1.5 million asset write-down) compared to $5.3 million income in 2006 (which included a gain on the sale of the DSI payroll division).
- Legal Expenses: The company incurred $1.49 million in legal expenses in 2007 related to a federal grand jury subpoena regarding RS Staffing Services' pre-acquisition activities. These were classified as non-operating expenses.
- Management Changes: Significant executive turnover occurred in early 2007, including the resignation of the former CEO and the appointment of the former CFO as CEO.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Outlook: Management is implementing sales restructuring, pricing improvements, and marketing initiatives to drive growth in fiscal 2008. They anticipate demand for temporary medical personnel will remain strong due to an aging population and staffing shortages.
- Nasdaq Delisting Risk: The company received notice that its common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market for failing to maintain the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement. The company intends to appeal and has authorized a reverse stock split to regain compliance.
- Government Contract Risks: Approximately 63.6% of consolidated revenue comes from U.S. Government agencies. Contracts are subject to termination, modification, or non-renewal at the government's convenience. The company is also subject to government audits which could result in revenue adjustments.
- Legal Contingency: The company is pursuing a right of offset against the remaining $1.5 million note payable to the former owners of RS Staffing Services to recover $1.49 million in legal fees incurred during the federal investigation. Recovery is not guaranteed.
- Liquidity: The company has an $8.0 million revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, expiring in June 2008. As of September 30, 2007, no debt was outstanding, and $5.5 million was available. Availability is tied to the assignment of government accounts receivable.
- Tax Matters: The company has significant Net Operating Losses (NOLs) but maintains a 100% valuation allowance against deferred tax assets due to uncertainty regarding future realization.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Delisting Status: Verify the current status of the Nasdaq delisting appeal and the execution of the proposed reverse stock split.
