ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

RCM Technologies, Inc. is a premier provider of business and technology solutions designed to enhance and maximize the operational performance of its customers through the adaptation and deployment of advanced information technology and engineering services. RCM is also a provider of specialty healthcare services to major health care institutions and educational facilities. RCM has been an innovative leader in the design, development, and delivery of these services to commercial and government sectors for 40 years. Over the years, the Company has developed and assembled an attractive, diverse and extensive portfolio of capabilities, service offerings and delivery options, established a proven record of performance and credibility, and built an efficient pricing structure. This combination offers clients a compelling value proposition with the potential to substantially accelerate the successful attainment of their business objectives .

RCM consists of three operating segments: Information Technology, Engineering and Specialty Health Care Services. The Company’s Information Technology, or IT, segment provides enterprise business solutions, application services, infrastructure solutions, competitive advantage & productivity solutions, life sciences solutions and other selected vertical market specific offerings. RCM’s Engineering segment provides engineering and design, engineering analysis, technical writing and technical support services. The Company’s Specialty Health Care Services segment provides the staffing of health care professionals, primarily therapists, nurses and care givers.

The Company services some of the largest national and international companies in North America as well as a lengthy roster of Fortune 1000 and mid-sized businesses in such industries as Aerospace/Defense, Energy, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Manufacturing & Distribution, the Public Sector and Technology. RCM believes it offers a range of solutions that fosters long-term client relationships, affords cross-selling opportunities, and minimizes the Company’s dependence on any single technology or industry sector. RCM sells and delivers its services through a network of 26 offices in selected regions throughout North America.

The Company is a Nevada corporation organized in 1971. The address of its principal executive office is 2500 McClellan Avenue, Suite 350, Pennsauken, NJ 08109-4613.

During the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012, approximately 35.8% of RCM’s total revenues were derived from IT services, 45.7% from Engineering services, and the remaining 18.5% from Specialty Health Care services.

Demand for the Company’s services can be significantly impacted by changes in the general level of economic activity, particularly technology spending. During periods of reduced economic activity, such as the environment in the United States and the world in general since approximately mid-2007 and continuing through fiscal 2012 and into 2013, the Company may also be subject to increased pricing pressure in its markets due to reduced spending by clients and potential clients of the Company. Extended periods of weakness in the economy can have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and results of operations. Accordingly, the Company’s operations have been adversely impacted by the continuing economic downturn that began in the middle of 2007.

Industry Overview

Businesses today face intense competition, the challenge of constant technological change and the ongoing need for business process optimization. To address these issues and to compete more effectively, companies are continually evaluating the need for implementing innovative solutions to upgrade their systems, applications and processes. As a result, the ability of an organization to integrate and align advanced technologies with new business objectives is critical.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

Industry Overview (Continued)

Although most companies recognize the importance of optimizing their systems, applications and processes to compete in today’s challenging environment, the process of designing, developing and implementing business and technology solutions is becoming increasingly complex. The Company believes that many businesses are focused on return on investment analysis in prioritizing their initiatives. The Company believes that as a consequence, over the past few years, companies have elected to defer, redefine or cancel investments in new systems, software, and solutions and have focused on making extended and more effective use of previous technological investments.

On the other hand, the current economic environment challenges many companies to integrate and manage computing environments consisting of multiple computing platforms, operating systems, databases and networking protocols and off-the-shelf software applications to support business objectives. Companies also need to keep pace with new technology developments, which often rapidly render existing equipment and internal skills obsolete. At the same time, external economic factors have caused many organizations to focus on core competencies and trim workforces in the IT management area. Accordingly, these organizations often lack the quantity, quality and variety of IT skills necessary to design and support IT solutions. IT managers are charged with supporting increasingly complex systems and applications of significant strategic value, while working under budgetary, personnel and expertise constraints within their own organizations.

The Company believes its target market for IT services is among middle-market companies, which typically lack the time and technical resources to satisfy all of their IT needs internally. These companies commonly require sophisticated, experienced IT assistance to achieve their business objectives and often rely on IT service providers to help implement and manage their systems. However, many middle-market companies rely on multiple providers for their IT needs. Generally, the Company believes that this reliance on multiple providers results from the fact that larger IT service providers do not target these companies, while smaller IT service providers, which do target these companies, lack sufficient breadth of services or industry knowledge to satisfy all of these companies' needs. The Company believes this reliance on multiple service providers creates multiple relationships that are more difficult and less cost-effective to manage than a single relationship and can adversely influence the quality and compatibility of IT solutions. RCM is structured to provide middle-market companies a single source for their IT needs.

The Company’s Engineering group continues to focus on areas of growth within the energy and aerospace industries.

In recent years, many businesses have been adversely impacted by higher oil prices, and for that and various other reasons, there has been growing sentiment around the world for the development of alternative sources of energy, including a renewed interest in nuclear power. Over the same period, there has been a significant increase in spending in the United States in the aerospace and defense industries due largely to a strengthening of the military and homeland security in response to armed conflicts, geo-political unrest and the threat of terrorism. The combination of higher energy prices and increased military spending has created numerous business opportunities for service providers, especially those engaged in engineering operations in North America and abroad.

In the healthcare services industry, a shortage of nurses and other medical personnel in the United States has led to increases in business activity for health care service companies, including the Company’s Specialty Healthcare Group. Due in part to an aging population and improved medical technology, the demand for selected health care professionals is expected to continue over the next several years.

Business Strategy

RCM is dedicated to providing solutions to meet its clients’ business needs by delivering information technology and engineering services. The Company’s objective is to be a recognized leader of specialized professional consulting services and solutions in major markets throughout North America. The Company adapts operating strategies to achieve this objective. The following is a discussion of the key elements of its growth and operating strategies:

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

Growth Strategy

Promote Full Life Cycle Solution Capability

The Company promotes a full life cycle solution capability to its customers. The goal of the full life cycle solution strategy is to fully address a client’s project implementation cycle at each stage of its development and deployment. This entails the Company working with its clients from the initial conceptualization of a project through its design and project execution, and extending into ongoing management and support of the delivered product. RCM’s strategy is to build projects and solutions offerings selectively, utilizing its extensive resource base.

The Company believes that the effective execution of this strategy will generate improved margins on its existing resources. The completion of this service-offering continuum is intended to afford the Company the opportunity to strengthen long-term client relationships that will further contribute to a more predictable revenue stream.

In addition to a full life cycle solution offering, the Company continues to focus on transitioning into higher value oriented services in an effort to increase its margins on its various service lines and generate revenue that is more sustainable. The Company believes this transition is accomplished by pursuing additional vertical market specific solutions in conjunction or combination with longer-term based solutions, through expansion of its client relationships and by pursuing strategic alliances and partnerships.

Achieve Internal Growth

The Company continues to promote its internal growth strategies which we designed to better serve the Company’s customers, generate higher revenue and achieve greater operating efficiencies. National and regional sales management programs have been designed and implemented to segregate clients by vertical market and national accounts to advance the Company’s value added services focus. This process is improving account coordination and is designed to allow clients to benefit from deeper industry knowledge and the Company to maximize major account opportunities.

RCM provides an orientation program in which sales managers and professionals receive relevant information about Company operations.

RCM has adopted an industry-centric approach to sales and marketing. This initiative contemplates that clients within the same industry sectors tend to have common business challenges. It therefore allows the Company to present and deliver enhanced value to those clients in the vertical markets in which RCM has assembled the greatest work experience. RCM’s consultants continue to acquire project experience that offers differentiated awareness of the business challenges that clients in that industry are facing. This alignment also facilitates and creates additional cross-selling opportunities. The Company believes this strategy will lead to greater account penetration and enhanced client relationships.

Operational strategies contributing to RCM’s internal productivity include the delineation of certain new solutions practice areas in markets where its clients had historically known the Company as a contract service provider. The formation of these practice areas should facilitate the flow of project opportunities and the delivery of project-based solutions.

Pursue Selective Strategic Acquisitions

The industry in which the Company operates continues to be highly fragmented, and the Company plans to continue to selectively assess opportunities to make strategic acquisitions as such opportunities are presented to the Company. The Company's acquisition strategy is designed to broaden the scope of services and technical competencies and grow its full life cycle solution capabilities. In considering acquisition opportunities, the Company focuses principally on companies with (i) technologies or market segments RCM has targeted for strategic value enhancement, (ii) margins that are accretive to existing margins, (iii) experienced management personnel, (iv) substantial growth prospects and (v) sellers who desire to join the Company’s management team. To retain and provide incentives for management of its acquired companies, the Company has generally structured a significant portion of the acquisition price in the form of multi-tiered consideration based on growth of operating profitability of the acquired company over a two to four year period.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

Operating Strategy

Develop and Maintain Strong Customer Relationships

The Company seeks to develop and maintain strong interactive customer relationships by anticipating and focusing on its customers’ needs. The Company emphasizes a relationship-oriented approach to business, rather than the transaction or assignment-oriented approach that the Company believes is used by many of its competitors. This industry-centric strategy is designed to allow RCM to expand further its relationships with clients in RCM’s targeted sectors.

To develop close customer relationships, the Company’s practice managers regularly meet with both existing and prospective clients to help design solutions and identify the resources needed to execute their strategies. The Company’s managers also maintain close communications with their customers during each project and on an ongoing basis after its completion. The Company believes that this relationship-oriented approach can result in greater customer satisfaction. Additionally, the Company believes that by collaborating with its customers in designing business solutions, it can generate new opportunities to cross-sell additional services that the Company has to offer. The Company focuses on providing customers with qualified individuals or teams of experts compatible with the business needs of its customers and makes a concerted effort to follow the progress of such relationships to ensure their continued success.

Attract and Retain Highly Qualified Consultants and Technical Resources

The Company believes it has been successful in attracting and retaining highly qualified consultants and contractors by (i) providing stimulating and challenging work assignments, (ii) offering competitive wages, (iii) effectively communicating with its candidates, (iv) providing selective training to maintain and upgrade skills and (v) aligning the needs of its customers with appropriately skilled personnel. The Company believes it has been successful in retaining these personnel due in part to its use of practice managers who are dedicated to maintaining contact with, and monitoring the satisfaction levels of, the Company’s consultants and contractors while they are on assignment.

Centralize Administrative Functions

The Company continues to improve its operational efficiencies by integrating general and administrative functions at the corporate or regional level, and reducing or eliminating redundant functions formerly performed at smaller branch offices. This enables the Company to realize savings and synergies and to control and monitor its operations efficiently, as well as to quickly integrate new acquisitions. It also allows local branches to focus more on growing their local operations.

To accomplish this, the Company’s financial reporting and accounting systems are centralized in the Company’s operational headquarters in Parsippany, NJ. The systems have been configured to perform all back office functions, including payroll, project management, project cost accounting, billing, human resource administration and financial reporting and consolidation. The Company anticipates enhancing its financial reporting and accounting system platform in the fiscal year ending December 28, 2013.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

Information Technology

The Company’s IT segment is comprised of two business groups – the IT Consulting Business Group and the IT Solutions Business Group. The IT Consulting Business Group consists of business units in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico primarily supporting Financial, Technical, Manufacturing, Distribution and Government applications. The IT Solutions Business Group consists of six business units:

·	Enterprise Infrastructure Management

·	Enterprise Integration

·	Enterprise Supply Chain

·	Enterprise Project Management

·	Enterprise HR

·	Life Sciences

The RCM Enterprise Business Solutions Group’s core business mission is to continue its strategic transformation designed to focus the Company on developing proprietary customized solutions and methodologies by bundling software, systems, tools and services into integrated business and technology solutions. Invoices on projects whereby the Company sold its own proprietary software were not material for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012.

RCM’s sector knowledge coupled with technical and business process experience enable the Company to provide strategic planning, project execution and management and support services throughout the entire project life cycle. RCM has successfully completed multimillion-dollar projects in a variety of industry verticals using time-tested methodologies that manage strict budgets, timelines and quality metrics.

Among those IT services provided by RCM to its clients are:

·	Enterprise Business Solutions

·	Application Services

·	Infrastructure Solutions

·	Competitive Advantage & Productivity Solutions

·	Life Sciences Solutions

The Company believes that its ability to deliver information technology solutions across a wide range of technical platforms provides an important competitive advantage. RCM ensures that its consultants have the expertise and skills needed to keep pace with rapidly evolving information technologies. The Company’s strategy is to maintain expertise and acquire knowledge in multiple technologies so it can offer its clients non-biased technology solutions best suited to their business needs.

The Company provides its IT services through a number of flexible delivery methods. These include management consulting engagements, project management of client efforts, project implementation of client initiatives, outsourcing, both on and off site, and a full complement of resourcing alternatives.

As of December 29, 2012, the Company assigned approximately 410 information technology employees and consultants to its customers.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

Engineering

The Company’s Engineering segment consists of three business units – Engineering Services and Projects, Power Systems Services USA and Power Systems Services Canada. The Engineering Services and Projects unit includes Aerospace, Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering divisions. The Power Systems units focus primarily on the nuclear power, fossil fuel and electric utility industries.

RCM provides a full range of Engineering services including Engineering & Design, Engineering Analysis, Engineer-Procure-Construct, Configuration Management, Hardware/Software Validation & Verification, Quality Assurance, Technical Writing & Publications, Manufacturing Process Planning & Improvement, Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), Component & Equipment Testing and Risk Management Engineering. Engineering services are provided at the site of the client or, less frequently, at the Company’s own facilities.

The Company believes that the deregulation of the utilities industry and the aging of nuclear power plants offer the Company an opportunity to capture a greater share of professional services and project management requirements of the utilities industry both in engineering services and through cross-selling of its information technology services. Heightened competition, deregulation and rapid technological advances are forcing the utilities industry to make fundamental changes in its business process. These pressures have compelled the utilities industry to focus on internal operations and maintenance activities and to increasingly outsource their personnel requirements. Additionally, the Company believes that competitive performance demands from deregulation should increase the importance of information technology to this industry. The Company believes that its expertise and strong relationships with certain customers within the utilities industry position the Company to be a leading provider of professional services to the utilities industry.

The Company provides its engineering services through a number of delivery methods. These include managed tasks and resources, complete project services, outsourcing, both on and off-site, and a full complement of resourcing alternatives.

As of December 29, 2012, the Company assigned approximately 550 engineering and technical employees and consultants to its customers.

Specialty Health Care

The Company’s Specialty Health Care Group specializes in long-term and short-term staffing as well as executive search and placement for the following fields: rehabilitation (physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech language pathologists), nursing, managed care, allied health care, health care management, medical office support and non-medical caregivers or companions. The specialty health care group provides services to hospitals, long-term care facilities, schools, sports medicine facilities and private practices. Services include in-patient, outpatient, sub-acute and acute care, multilingual speech pathology, rehabilitation, and geriatric, pediatric, and adult day care. Typical engagements either range from three to six months or are on a day-to-day shift basis.

As of December 29, 2012, the Company assigned approximately 390 specialty health care services personnel to its customers.

Branch offices are primarily located in markets that the Company believes have strong growth prospects for IT and Engineering services. The Company’s branches are operated in a decentralized, entrepreneurial manner with most branch offices operating as independent profit centers. The Company’s branch managers are given significant autonomy in the daily operations of their respective offices and, with respect to such offices, are responsible for overall guidance and supervision, budgeting and forecasting, sales and marketing strategies, pricing, hiring and training. Branch managers are paid on a performance-based compensation system designed to motivate the managers to maximize growth and profitability.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

Branch Offices (Continued)

The Company is domiciled in the United States and its segments operate in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Revenues for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 and total assets by geographic area as of December 29, 2012 are as follows ($ in thousands):

	Revenues	Total Assets
United States	$120,327	$68,364
Canada	20,641	14,612
Puerto Rico	4,849	1,572
	$145,817	$84,548

The Company believes that substantial portions of the buying decisions made by users of the Company’s services are made on a local or regional basis and that the Company’s branch offices most often compete with local and regional providers. Since the Company’s branch managers are in the best position to understand their local markets and customers often prefer local providers, the Company believes that a decentralized operating environment enhances operating performance and contributes to employee and customer satisfaction.

From its headquarters locations in New Jersey, the Company provides its branch offices with centralized administrative, marketing, finance, MIS, human resources and legal support. Centralized administrative functions minimize the administrative burdens on branch office managers and allow them to spend more time focusing on sales and marketing and practice development activities.

The Company’s principal sales offices typically have one general manager, one sales manager, three to six sales people, several technical delivery or practice managers and several recruiters. The general managers report to regional vice presidents who are responsible for ensuring that performance goals are achieved. The Company’s regional vice presidents meet frequently to discuss “best practices” and ways to increase the Company’s cross selling of its professional services. The Company’s practice managers meet periodically to strategize, maintain continuity, and identify developmental needs and cross-selling opportunities.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing efforts are conducted at the local and or regional level through the Company’s network of branch offices. The Company emphasizes long-term personal relationships with customers that are developed through regular assessment of customer requirements and proactive monitoring of personnel performance. The Company’s sales personnel make regular visits to existing and prospective customers. New customers are obtained through active sales programs and referrals. The Company encourages its employees to participate in national and regional trade associations, local chambers of commerce and other civic associations. The Company seeks to develop strategic partnering relationships with its customers by providing comprehensive solutions for all aspects of a customer’s information technology, engineering and other professional services needs. The Company concentrates on providing carefully screened professionals with the appropriate skills in a timely manner and at competitive prices. The Company regularly monitors the quality of the services provided by its personnel and obtains feedback from its customers as to their satisfaction with the services provided.

The Company has elevated the importance of working with and developing its partner alliances with technology firms. Partner programs are in place with firms RCM has identified as strategically important to the completeness of the service offering of the Company. Relations have been established with firms such as ADP, IBM, Mercury, Microsoft, Oracle and QAD, among others. The partner programs may be managed either at a national level from RCM’s corporate offices or at a regional level from its branch offices.

Sales and Marketing (Continued)

The Company’s larger recognizable customers include 3M, AAR Corporation, ADP, Aramark, Aurora Flight Sciences Corporation, Bimbo Bakeries, USA, Bruce Power Limited Partnership (“Bruce Power”), Bruckner Supply Company, Con Edison, Covidien, Entergy, Exelon Nuclear, FlightSafety International, IBM, Johnson and Johnson, Lilly del Caribe, Microsoft, New York City Department of Education, New York Power Authority, Ontario Power Generation, Pfizer, Pragmatics, PSE&G, United Technologies Corporation, U.S. Department of the Treasury, Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power, Warner Chilcott and Zimmer Holdings, Inc. The Company serves Fortune 1000 companies and many middle market clients. The Company’s relationships with these customers are typically formed at the customers’ local or regional level and from time to time, when appropriate, at the corporate level for national accounts.

During the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012, United Technologies Corporation accounted for 11.8% of the Company’s revenues. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues in that period. The Company’s five, ten and twenty largest customers accounted for approximately 37.4%, 46.9% and 57.5%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012.

Recruiting and Training

The Company devotes a significant amount of time and resources, primarily at the branch level, to locating, training and retaining its professional personnel. Full-time recruiters utilize the Company’s proprietary databases of available personnel, which are cross-indexed by competency and skill to match potential candidates with the specific project requirements of the customer. The qualified personnel in the databases are identified through numerous channels, including networking, referrals, trade shows, job fairs, schools, newspaper and trade journal advertising, Internet recruiting services and the Company’s website.

The Company believes that a significant element of the Company’s success in retaining qualified consultants and contract personnel is the Company’s use of consultant relationship managers and technical practice managers. Consultant relationship managers are qualified Company personnel dedicated to maintaining on-site contact with, and monitoring the satisfaction levels of, the Company’s consultants and contract personnel while they are on assignment. Practice managers are consulting managers responsible for the technical development and career development of the Company’s technical personnel within the defined practice areas. The Company provides technical training and skills development through vendor-sponsored courses, computer-based training tools and on the job mentoring programs.

Information Systems

RCM has continued to engage in strategic initiatives to improve upon its ability to secure data, deliver services and improve on its communication infrastructure.

RCM has partnered with vendors like AT&T, Microsoft, Cisco, SAP, ADP and DELL to deploy their business solutions internally. All perimeter devices have been standardized on Cisco hardware; internal devices (servers, desktops, laptops, printers, etc.) are DELL based; with AT&T communication lines throughout the enterprise, facilitating centralized management and support of the network.

RCM has upgraded its perimeter network and WAN architecture throughout the U.S. and Canada, to a secure centralized model on Private Network Transport (PNT /AVPN) AT&T circuits, utilizing Multiple Packet Label Switching (MPLS) transport protocol. The hub datacenter at its operational headquarters has been outfitted with redundant fiber circuits from AT&T and Optimum Lightpath utilizing Border gateway Protocol (BGP) for automatic failover. Redundant firewalls, routers and switching architecture protects against hardware failure. Access to the network is only allowed via SSL or IPSec 3DES protocols.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

Information Systems (Continued)

The move to service oriented architecture facilitated the implementation of the Cisco Voice over IP (VOIP) solution which is currently deployed throughout RCM’s offices. This enterprise solution, based on Cisco Call Manager, Unity voicemail, Mobility Manager, Meeting Place, Fax Server and Video Presence has effectively unified all RCM offices in the U.S. and Canada. Benefits include four digit extension calls between RCM offices, email and voicemail unification, soft and mobile phone integration, video and web conferencing, central and email enabled faxing.

RCM’s messaging architecture is currently based on the Microsoft Exchange 2007 and Cisco Unity platform. The current mail system is comprised of redundant mail routing servers and clustered mailbox servers attached to a Storage Area Network (SAN) This messaging platform has the current capacity of six Terabytes (TB), with the capability of scaling to 18 Terabytes (TB). In addition to mail storage being sized for VOIP integration, web access to the mail server is only allowed via secure HTTPs protocol. Augmenting the messaging architecture is a mail archiving solution by GFI to accommodate disaster recovery, compliance and litigation requirements. RCM anticipates it will upgrade to Microsoft Exchange 2010, currently in pilot phase, in order to capitalize on the increased flexibility and high availability features. Windows Server 2012 cloud, virtualization and cross-premises capabilities are currently being evaluated to provide the best platform for the new exchange messaging environment. Deployment to the production environment is scheduled in the third quarter of fiscal year ending December 28, 2013.

The Company has upgraded the ERP hardware, Application and Operating system, to accommodate its growing needs. The branch offices of the Company are networked to the corporate offices via private circuits, which enable the ERP application to be accessed securely at all operational locations. The ERP system supports Company-wide operations such as payroll, billing, human resources, project systems, accounts receivable, accounts payable, all general ledger accounting, budgeting and consolidation reporting functionality. The Company, as part of its business process reengineering, migrated payroll processing and HR benefits to ADP, and is continuing to evaluate other aspects of its ERP landscape to promote efficiencies, and determine the best fit for the organization. A decision regarding the future path of the ERP environment is expected in the fiscal year ending December 28, 2013.

The Company also has Autotime and TES, automated time and attendance systems, which augments the SAP ERP application by catering to the needs of its diverse business offerings and distributed workforce. The applications are housed in a three-tiered DELL server architecture, and are currently servicing Canadian and U.S. offices.

The Company’s internet presence is an integral part of its strategic initiative to improve visibility and contextualize its business offerings. The company’s website has been revised, making the site more interactive, with improved web analytics. The site also utilizes Search Engine Optimization which allows for an enhanced user experience.

The Company is utilizing JobDiva, an application service provider (ASP) solution for sourcing candidates and fulfilling client requirements. The integrated solution allows RCM to track all client requirements on an enterprise level. JobDiva permits RCM recruiters to search multiple sources (e.g. job boards) to identify and match suitable candidates for an opportunity or need. JobDiva allows RCM to build and maintain a proprietary database of prequalified candidates, thereby enhancing our ability to respond quickly to client demands. Furthermore, the solution increases visibility internally to sales personnel and the management team to manage client priorities not only on a localized, but a national basis. Customized reporting and query capabilities allow RCM management to monitor personnel performance and client responsiveness. All data and information is accessible via a web portal.

In the interest of consolidation and being green, RCM is currently deploying virtualization technology from VMware and Microsoft. The server footprint at the primary datacenter in Parsippany, NJ has been reduced by 60% without compromising systems integrity or redundancy. Implementation of V-motion, fault tolerance, high availability and centralized management are an integral part of this solution. Green initiatives include partnerships with vendors for the recycling of used printers, toners, servers, desktops and mobile devices.

Other Information

Safeguards - Business, Disaster and Contingency Planning

RCM has implemented a number of safeguards to protect the Company from various system-related risks including a warm data center disaster recovery site, redundant telecommunications and server systems architecture, multi-tiered server and desktop backup infrastructure, and data center physical and environmental controls. In addition, RCM has developed disaster recovery / business continuity procedures for all offices.

Given the significant amount of data generated in the Company’s key processes including recruiting, sales, payroll and customer invoicing, RCM has established redundant procedures, functioning on a daily basis, within the Company’s primary data center. This redundancy should mitigate the risks related to hardware, application and data loss by utilizing the concept of live differential backups of servers and desktops to Storage Area Network (SAN) devices on its backup LAN, culminating in offsite tape storage at an independent facility. Besides the local tape backup rotation of branch office systems, data is also replicated to SAN devices in Parsippany to achieve business continuity. Controls within the data center environment ensure that all systems are proactively monitored and data is properly archived.

Additionally, RCM has contracted and brokered strategic relationships with third-party vendors to meet its recovery objectives in the event of a system disruption. For example, comprehensive service level agreements provided by AT&T and Cisco for RCM’s data circuits and network devices guarantee minimal outages as well as network redundancy and scalability. The Disaster Recovery site, located at the corporate office in Pennsauken, NJ, provides WAN, ERP, VOIP, file, application and messaging services should the primary data center facility at Parsippany become inoperable.

The Company’s ability to protect its data assets against damage from fire, power loss, telecommunications failures, and facility violations is critical. To address potential cyber security threats, the Company uses Websense mail management service to filter all emails destined for the RCMT domain before being delivered to the corporate mail servers. Websense, web filtering has also been deployed to safeguard the enterprise from malicious internet content. The deployment of Microsoft Forefront / WSUS virus, spam, and patch management controls extends from the perimeter network to all desktops and is centrally monitored and managed. In addition to the virus and malware controls, an Intrusion Protection System (IPS) monitors and alerts on changes in network traffic patterns as well as known hostile signatures.

The Company maintains a disaster recovery plan that outlines the recovery time / point objectives (RTO / RPO), organization structure, roles and procedures, including site addendum disaster plans for all of its key operating offices. Corporate IT personnel regulate the maintenance and integrity of backed-up data throughout the Company.

Competition

The market for IT and engineering services is highly competitive and is subject to rapid change. As the market demand has shifted, many software companies have adopted tactics to pursue services and consulting offerings making them direct competitors when in the past they may have been alliance partners. Primary competitors include participants from a variety of market segments, including publicly and privately held firms, systems consulting and implementation firms, application software firms, service groups of computer equipment companies, facilities management companies, general management consulting firms and staffing companies. In addition, the Company competes with its clients’ internal resources, particularly where these resources represent a fixed cost to the client. Such competition may impose additional pricing pressures on the Company.

The Company believes its principal competitive advantages in the IT and engineering services market include: strong relationships with existing clients, a long-term track record with over 1,000 clients, a broad range of services, technical expertise, knowledge and experience in multiple industry sectors, quality and flexibility of service, responsiveness to client needs and speed in delivering IT solutions.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

Competition (Continued)

Additionally, the Company competes for suitable acquisition candidates based on its differentiated acquisition model, its entrepreneurial and decentralized operating philosophy, and its strong corporate-level support and resources.

Seasonality

The Company’s operating results can be affected by the seasonal fluctuations in client expenditures. Expenditures in the Information Technology and Engineering segments can be negatively impacted during the first quarter of the year when clients are finalizing their budgets. Quarterly results generally fluctuate depending on, among other things, the number of billing days in a quarter and the seasonality of clients’ businesses. The business is also affected by the timing of holidays and seasonal vacation patterns, generally resulting in lower revenues and gross profit in the fourth quarter of each year. Extreme weather conditions may also affect demand in the first and fourth quarters of the year as certain clients’ facilities are located in geographic areas subject to closure or reduced hours due to inclement weather. The Company generally experiences an increase in its cost of sales and a corresponding decrease in gross profit and gross margin percentage in the first and second fiscal quarters of each year as a result of resetting certain state and federal employment tax rates and related salary limitations. Also, the Company’s Specialty Health Care segment typically experiences a significant decline in revenues due to the substantial closure of one of its largest customers, the New York City Department of Education, during summer recess.

Government Regulations

The Company is a consulting firm and employment service provider and is generally subject to one or more of the following types of government regulation: (1) regulation of the employer/employee relationship between a firm and its employees, including tax withholding or reporting, social security or retirement, benefits, workplace compliance, wage and hour, anti-discrimination, immigration and workers’ compensation; (2) registration, licensing, record keeping and reporting requirements; and (3) federal contractor compliance. The Company believes it is in material compliance with all employee related statutes.

Intellectual Property

Employees

As of December 29, 2012, the Company employed an administrative, sales, recruiting and management staff of approximately 110 people, including certified IT specialists and licensed engineers who, from time to time, participate in IT and engineering design projects undertaken by the Company. As of December 29, 2012, there were approximately 410 information technology and 550 engineering and technical employees and consultants assigned by the Company to work on client projects for various periods and there were approximately 390 specialty health care services employees assigned to clients. None of the Company’s employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Company’s business involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond its control. The risk and uncertainties described below are not the only ones the Company faces. Set forth below is a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that management believes to be material to the Company.

Economic Trends

The global economic crisis that began in 2008 continues to create conditions such as a general tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, and volatility in credit, equity and fixed income markets. Any or all of these developments could negatively affect the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition in a number of ways. For example, current or potential customers may be unable to fund capital spending programs, new product launches of other similar endeavors whereby they might procure services from the Company, and therefore delay, decrease or cancel purchases of services or not pay or delay paying for previously purchased services. In addition, these conditions may cause the Company to incur increased expenses or make it more difficult either to utilize existing debt capacity or otherwise obtain financing for operations, investing activities (including the financing of any future acquisitions), or financing activities, all of which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Government Regulations

Staffing firms and employment service providers are generally subject to one or more of the following types of government regulation: (1) regulation of the employer/employee relationship between a firm and its employees, including tax withholding or reporting, social security or retirement, benefits, workplace compliance, wage and hour, anti-discrimination, immigration and workers’ compensation; (2) registration, licensing, record keeping and reporting requirements; and (3) federal contractor compliance. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in the Company incurring penalties and other liabilities, monetary and otherwise.

Highly Competitive Business

The staffing services and outsourcing markets are highly competitive and have limited barriers to entry. RCM competes in global, national, regional, and local markets with numerous temporary staffing and permanent placement companies. Price competition in the staffing industry is significant and pricing pressures from competitors and customers are increasing. In addition, there is increasing pressure on companies to outsource certain areas of their business to low cost offshore outsourcing firms. RCM expects that the level of competition will remain high in the future, which could limit RCM’s ability to maintain or increase its market share or profitability. Our inability to compete successfully with our competitors could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Seasonality of Business

As described in “Item 1. Business,” our operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations, with reduced demand often occurring during first quarter of the year when clients are finalizing their IT and engineering budgets, and also during periods in which there are a substantial amount of holidays and season vacations. In particular, one of the largest customers in our Specialty Health Care group, the New York City Department of Education, significantly reduces activity during the summer months, when schools are closed. Our operating results for any given period may fluctuate as a result of the timing of holidays, vacations and other events, and if we were to experience unfavorable performance during periods in which we would otherwise expect to have high seasonal demand, we may have limited ability to make up for such performance during periods of seasonally lower demand.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)

Future Proxy Contests

Stockholders of the Company may from time to time engage in proxy solicitations, advance stockholder proposals or otherwise attempt to effect changes or acquire control over the Company. Campaigns by stockholders to effect changes at publicly-traded companies are sometimes led by investors seeking to increase short-term stockholder value by advocating corporate actions such as financial restructuring, increased borrowing, special dividends, stock repurchases or even sales of assets or the entire company.

On January 2, 2013, the Company received a letter from IRS Partners No. 19, L.P. (“ IRS Partners ”), the beneficial holder of approximately 12.2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares, that indicates IRS Partners’ intention to nominate two candidates for election to our board of directors and present three stockholder proposals for consideration by the Company’s stockholders at our 2013 annual meeting of stockholders. If a proxy contest involving IRS Partners ensues, or if we become engaged in a proxy contest with another activist stockholder in the future, our business could be adversely affected because:

responding to proxy contests and other actions by activist stockholders can disrupt our operations, be costly and time-consuming, and divert the attention of our Board and senior management from the pursuit of business strategies, which could adversely affect the Company's results of operations and financial condition;

perceived uncertainties as to our future direction as a result of changes to composition of our Board may lead to the perception of a change in the direction of the business, instability or lack of continuity which may be exploited by our competitors, cause concern to our current or potential clients, may result in the loss of potential business opportunities and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners;

·	if individuals are elected to our Board with a specific agenda, it may adversely affect our ability to effectively implement our business strategy and create additional value for our stockholders; and

a consequence of a proxy contest could be that it eventually results in a “change in control” of the Company as such event is defined in the various agreements between the Company and certain key members of management which could entitle such members to terminate their employment with the Company and receive severance payments which, if incurred, may materially impact the financial condition of the Company.

Stockholder Rights Plan

On January 31, 2013, our Board approved a stockholder rights plan and declared a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of our common stock of the Company to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 10, 2013. Our rights plan is intended to protect the Company and its stockholders from efforts to obtain control of the Company that our Board determines are not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and to enable all stockholders to realize the long-term value of their investment in the Company. The rights plan is not intended to interfere with any merger, tender or exchange offer or other business combination approved by our Board. Nor does the rights plan prevent our Board from considering any offer that it considers to be in the best interest of its stockholders. Our rights plan is similar to rights plans adopted by many other publicly-traded companies.

Each right entitles stockholders to buy from the Company a unit consisting of one one-hundredth of a share of a newly-authorized series of junior participating preferred stock of the Company, upon the occurrence of certain events, at a purchase price of $15.00 per unit. The rights will be exercisable if a person or group acquires 15% or more of the Company’s common stock in a transaction, including the open market purchase of shares, not approved by our Board. If a person or group acquires 15%, each right will entitle its holder (other than such person or members of such group) to purchase, at the right's exercise price (subject to adjustment as provided in the rights plan), a number of shares of the Company’s common stock having a then-current market value of twice the exercise price.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)

Stockholder Rights Plan (Continued)

Since the rights plan will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire control of the Company on terms or in a manner not approved by our Board, the rights plan may make it more difficult for other persons or entities, without the approval of our Board, to make a tender offer or otherwise acquire substantial amounts of our common stock, or to launch other takeover attempts that a stockholder might consider to be in such stockholder’s best interests.

Events Affecting Significant Customers

As disclosed in “Item 1. Business,” the Company’s five, ten and twenty largest customers accounted for approximately 37.4%, 46.9% and 57.5%, respectively, of revenues for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012. Some of these customers may be affected by the current state of the economy or developments in the credit markets. The Company’s customers may engage in mergers or similar transactions. In addition, customers may choose to reduce the business they do with RCM for other reasons or no reason. Should any significant customers experience a downturn in their business that weakens their financial condition or merge with another company or otherwise cease independent operation, or limit their relationship with us, it is possible that the business that the customer does with the Company would be reduced or eliminated, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Safety Concerns Regarding Nuclear Power Plants

Especially in light of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant malfunction that occurred in March 2011, new and existing concerns are being expressed in public forums about the safety of nuclear generating units and nuclear fuel. Among other things, these concerns have led to, and are expected to continue to lead to, various proposals to regulators and governing bodies in some localities where nuclear facilities are located for legislative and regulatory changes that could lead to the shut-down of nuclear units, denial of license renewal applications, municipalization of nuclear units, restrictions on nuclear units or other adverse effects on owning and operating nuclear generating units. Should these concerns or proposals lead to a diminishment of or reduced growth in the nuclear power industry, the Company’s Engineering segment, which has a focus on the nuclear power industry, could be harmed, and the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Subcontractors, Transit Accounts Receivable and Transit Accounts Payables Related to Construction Management Contracts

The Company’s Engineering segment has entered into arrangements to provide construction management and engineering services to customers under which arrangements the Company then engages subcontractors to provide the construction services. Ultimately, as a primary contractor, the Company is responsible for the nonperformance or negligence of its subcontractors, whom the Company requires to be adequately insured and to issue performance bonds for their assignment. Should a subcontractor not perform or act negligently and should there be inadequate insurance or performance bonds in place, the Company might not be able to mitigate its primary liability to the customer, and the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In addition, while payments to subcontractors typically are due from the Company only after the Company receives payment from the ultimate customer, the Company faces the risk that, should a customer not pay the Company, or should a subcontractor demand payment from the Company prior to the Company’s receipt of payment from its customer, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)

Dependence Upon Personnel

The Company’s operations depend on the continued efforts of its officers and other executive management. The loss of key officers and members of executive management may cause a significant disruption to the Company’s business. RCM also depends on the performance and productivity of its local managers and field personnel. The Company’s ability to attract and retain new business is significantly affected by local relationships and the quality of service rendered. The loss of key managers and field personnel may also jeopardize existing client relationships with businesses that continue to use the Company’s services based upon past relationships with local managers and field personnel. In order to fulfill the requirements of the Company’s customers, the Company must be able to recruit and retain appropriate personnel for client assignments.

Revolving Credit Facility and Liquidity

If the Company were unable to borrow under its Revolving Credit Facility (see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Financing Activities”), it may adversely affect liquidity, results of operations and financial condition. The Company’s liquidity depends on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations and, from time to time, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility with the Company’s agent lender Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania. The Company believes that Citizens Bank is liquid and is not aware of any current risk that they will become illiquid. At December 29, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $0.8 million outstanding under letters of credit.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains various financial and non-financial covenants. At December 29, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the covenants and other provisions of the Credit Facility. Any failure to be in compliance could have a material adverse effect on liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.

Workers’ Compensation and Employee Medical Insurance

The Company self-insures a portion of the exposure for losses related to workers’ compensation and employees’ medical insurance. The Company has established reserves for workers’ compensation and employee medical insurance claims based on historical loss statistics and periodic independent actuarial valuations. Significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions may materially affect the Company’s future financial results.

Improper Activities of Temporary Professionals Could Result in Damage to Business Reputation, Discontinuation of Client Relationships and Exposure to Liability

The Company may be subject to claims by clients related to errors and omissions, misuse of proprietary information, discrimination and harassment, theft and other criminal activity, malpractice, and other claims stemming from the improper activities or alleged activities of temporary professionals. There can be no assurance that current liability insurance coverage will be adequate or will continue to be available in sufficient amounts to cover damages or other costs associated with such claims.

Claims raised by clients stemming from the improper actions of temporary professionals, even if without merit, could cause the Company to incur significant expense associated with rework costs or other damages related to such claims. Furthermore, such claims by clients could damage the Company’s business reputation and result in the discontinuation of client relationships.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)

Acquisitions May Not Succeed

The Company reviews prospective acquisitions as an element of its growth strategy. The failure of any acquisition to meet the Company’s expectations, whether due to a failure to successfully integrate any future acquisition or otherwise, may result in damage to the Company’s financial performance and/or divert management’s attention from its core operations or could negatively affect the Company’s ability to meet the needs of its customers promptly.

International Operations

The Company operates its business in Canada and, to a less significant extent, in Puerto Rico. For the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012, approximately 17.5% of the Company’s revenues were generated outside the United States. There are certain risks inherent in conducting business internationally including: the imposition of trade barriers, foreign exchange restrictions, longer payment cycles, greater difficulties in accounts receivables collection, difficulties in complying with a variety of foreign laws, changes in legal or regulatory requirements, difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, political instability and potentially adverse tax consequences. To the extent the Company experiences these risks, the business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Foreign Currency Fluctuations and Changes in Exchange Rates

The Company is exposed to risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations and changes in exchange rates. RCM’s exposure to foreign currency fluctuations relates to operations in Canada, principally conducted through its Canadian subsidiary. Exchange rate fluctuations affect the U.S. dollar value of reported earnings derived from the Canadian operations as well as the carrying value of the Company’s investment in the net assets related to these operations. The Company does not engage in hedging activities with respect to foreign operations.

Trademarks

Management believes the RCM Technologies, Inc. name is extremely valuable and important to its business. The Company endeavors to protect its intellectual property rights and maintain certain trademarks, trade names, service marks and other intellectual property rights, including The Source of Smart Solutions®. The Company is not currently aware of any infringing uses or other conditions that would be reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Company’s use of its proprietary rights. The Company’s success depends on its ability to successfully obtain and maintain, and prevent misappropriation or infringement of, its intellectual property, maintain trade secret protection, and conduct operations without violating or infringing on the intellectual property rights of third parties. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and time-consuming, and it is often difficult, if not impossible, to predict the outcome of such litigation. If the Company is involved in an intellectual property litigation, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Data Center Capacity and Telecommunication Links

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), card key access, fire suppression, and environmental control systems protect RCM’s datacenter. All systems are monitored on a 24/7 basis with alerting capabilities via voice or email. The telecommunications architecture at RCM utilizes managed private circuits from AT&T, which encompasses provisioning redundancy and diversity.

The Company’s ability to protect its data center against damage from fire, power loss, telecommunications failure and other disasters is critical to business operations. In order to provide many of its services, RCM must be able to store, retrieve, process and manage large databases and periodically expand and upgrade its capabilities. Any damage to the Company’s data centers or any failure of the Company’s telecommunication links that interrupts its operations or results in an inadvertent loss of data could adversely affect the Company’s ability to meet its customers’ needs and their confidence in utilizing the Company for future services.

RCM’s ability to protect its data, provide services and safeguard its installations, as it relates to the IT infrastructure, is in part dependent on several outside vendors with whom the Company maintains service level agreements.

	Second Quarter	$6.16	$4.89
	Third Quarter	$5.75	$5.23
	Fourth Quarter	$6.72	$5.05

Holders

As of February 11, 2013, the approximate number of holders of record of the Company’s Common Stock was 463. Based upon the requests for proxy information in connection with the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company believes the number of beneficial owners of its Common Stock is approximately 2,377.

Dividends

On December 27, 2012, the Company paid to stockholders of record on December 20, 2012 a one-time special cash dividend of $1.00 per share of common stock. Prior to fiscal 2012, the Company had never paid any dividend on the Common Stock. The Company also accrued $1.00 per share on 350,000 unvested restricted stock units. The restricted stock units contain a dividend equivalent provision entitling holders to dividends paid between the restricted stock grant date and ultimate share distribution date. The accrued dividend will be paid when the restricted stock units vest in November 2015, while dividends on forfeited restricted stock units will also be forfeited.

Approximately 14.5% of the one-time special cash dividend was treated as an ordinary taxable dividend and the approximate balance of 85.5% was treated as a return of capital to the extent of the recipient’s tax basis, or a capital gain thereafter.

The Company’s Board of Directors believes that retaining earnings to finance the development and expansion of the Company’s business is in the best interest of RCM and its shareholders and any future payment of dividends will depend upon, among other things, the Company’s earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, contractual restrictions, and other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant. The Revolving Credit Facility (as discussed in Item 7 hereof) prohibits the payment of any dividends or distributions on account of the Company’s capital stock without the prior consent of the majority of the Company’s lenders. Such consent was received prior to the December 27, 2012 distribution.

ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
	RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

RCM participates in a market that is cyclical in nature and sensitive to economic changes. As a result, the impact of economic changes on revenues and operations can be substantial, resulting in significant volatility in the Company’s financial performance.

After normalizing for the BGA acquisition (See Footnote 6 in the Consolidated Financial Statements), the Company experienced a slight proforma decrease in revenues to $148.4 million during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 as compared to $148.8 million in the comparable prior year period. While the Company believes general economic and overall market conditions for its Information Technology and Specialty Health Care segments have improved from their recessionary lows, the Company is cautious regarding expectations for 2013 and beyond as the Company believes that any general economic or market recovery may be slow and/or tenuous and volatile. The Company also believes that based on its current Engineering segment sales pipeline that the Engineering segment should experience moderate growth in 2013.

The Company believes it has developed and assembled an attractive portfolio of capabilities, established a proven record of performance and credibility and built an efficient pricing structure. The Company is committed to optimizing its business model as a single-source premier provider of business and technology solutions with a strong vertical focus offering an integrated suite of services through a global delivery platform.

The Company believes that most companies recognize the importance of advanced technologies and business processes to compete in today’s business climate. However, the process of designing, developing and implementing business and technology solutions is becoming increasingly complex. The Company believes that many businesses today are focused on return on investment analysis in prioritizing their initiatives, and that this has had an adverse impact on spending by current and prospective clients of the Company for many emerging new solutions.

Nonetheless, the Company continues to believe that businesses must implement more advanced information technology and engineering solutions to upgrade their systems, applications and processes so that they can maximize their productivity and optimize their performance in order to maintain a competitive advantage. Although working under budgetary, personnel and expertise constraints, companies are driven to support increasingly complex systems, applications and processes of significant strategic value. This has given rise to a demand for outsourcing. The Company believes that its current and prospective clients are continuing to evaluate the potential for outsourcing business critical systems, applications and processes.

The Company provides project management and consulting services, which are billed based on either agreed-upon fixed fees or hourly rates, or a combination of both. The billing rates and profit margins for project management and solutions services are generally higher than those for professional consulting services. The Company generally endeavors to expand its sales of higher margin solutions and project management services. The Company also realizes revenues from client engagements that range from the placement of contract and temporary technical consultants to project assignments that entail the delivery of end-to-end solutions. These services are primarily provided to the client at hourly rates that are established for each of the Company’s consultants based upon their skill level, experience and the type of work performed.

ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
	RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Overview (Continued)

The majority of the Company’s services are provided under purchase orders. Contracts are utilized on certain of the more complex assignments where the engagements are for longer terms or where precise documentation on the nature and scope of the assignment is necessary. Although contracts normally relate to longer-term and more complex engagements, they do not obligate the customer to purchase a minimum level of services and are generally terminable by the customer on 60 to 90 days’ notice. The Company, from time to time, enters into contracts requiring the completion of specific deliverables. Typically these contracts are for less than one year. The Company recognizes revenue on these deliverables at the time the client accepts and approves the deliverables.

Costs of services consist primarily of salaries and compensation-related expenses for billable consultants, including payroll taxes, employee benefits and insurance. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits of personnel responsible for business development, recruiting, operating activities, and training, and include corporate overhead expenses. Corporate overhead expenses relate to salaries and benefits of personnel responsible for corporate activities, including the Company’s corporate marketing, administrative and financial reporting responsibilities and acquisition program. The Company records these expenses when incurred.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make subjective decisions, assessments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the judgment increases, such judgments become even more subjective. While management believes its assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, actual results may be materially different from estimated. Management has identified certain critical accounting policies, described below, that require significant judgment to be exercised by management.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenues from several sources. The Company’s Engineering Services and Information Technology Services segments perform consulting and project solutions services. All of the Company’s segments perform staff augmentation services and derive revenue from permanent placement fees. The majority of the Company’s revenues are invoiced on a time and materials basis.

Project Services - The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with “Revenue Recognition” which clarifies application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to revenue transactions. Project services are generally provided on a cost-plus, fixed-fee or time-and-material basis. Typically, a customer will outsource a discrete project or activity and the Company assumes responsibility for the performance of such project or activity. The Company recognizes revenues and associated costs on a gross basis as services are provided to the customer and costs are incurred using its employees. The Company, from time to time, enters into contracts requiring the completion of specific deliverables. The Company may recognize revenues on these deliverables at the time the client accepts and approves the deliverables. In instances where project services are provided on a fixed-price basis and the contract will extend beyond a 12-month period, revenue is recorded in accordance with the terms of each contract. In some instances, revenue is billed at the time certain milestones are reached, as defined in the contract. Revenues under these arrangements are recognized as the costs on these contracts are incurred. Amounts invoiced in excess of revenues recognized are recorded as deferred revenue, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheets. In other instances, revenue is billed and recorded based upon contractual rates per hour (i.e., percentage of completion). In addition, some contracts contain “Performance Fees” (bonuses) for completing a contract under budget. Performance Fees, if any, are recorded when earned. Some contracts also limit revenues and billings to specified maximum amounts. Provision for contract losses, if any, are made in the period such losses are determined. For contracts where there is a deliverable, the work is not complete on a specific deliverable and the revenue is not recognized, the costs are deferred. The associated costs are expensed when the related revenue is recognized.

ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
	RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition (Continued)

Consulting and Staffing Services - Revenues derived from consulting and staffing services are recorded on a gross basis as services are performed and associated costs have been incurred using employees of the Company. These services are typically billed on a time and material basis.

In certain cases, the Company may utilize other companies and their employees to fulfill customer requirements. In these cases, the Company receives an administrative fee for arranging for, billing for, and collecting the billings related to these companies. The customer is typically responsible for assessing the work of these companies who have responsibility for acceptability of their personnel to the customer. Under these circumstances, the Company’s reported revenues are net of associated costs (effectively recognizing the net administrative fee only).

Transit Receivables and Transit Payables - From time to time, the Company’s Engineering segment enters into agreements to provide, among other things, construction management and engineering services. In certain circumstances, the Company may acquire equipment as a purchasing agent for the client for a fee. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company: a) engages subcontractors to provide construction services; b) typically earns a fixed percentage of the total project value as a fee and c) assumes no ownership or risks of inventory. In such situations, the Company acts as an agent under the provisions of “Overall Considerations of Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent” and therefore recognizing revenue on a “net-basis.” The Company records revenue on a “net” basis on relevant engineering and construction management projects, which require subcontractors or transit costs. In those situations, the Company charges the client a management fee, which is reported as net revenue when earned. Similarly, the Company’s Information Technology segment acts as an agent for a major staffing client. The Company manages the staffing requirements for a division of the client and numerous staffing agencies provide staff and the Company collects a management fee. During the fifty-two week period ended December 29, 2012, the total gross billings, including both transit cost billings and the Company’s earned fees, was $64.8 million, for which the Company recognized $15.3 million of its net management fee as revenue.

Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is not required to pay the subcontractor under its Engineering contracts or staffing agencies under the Information Technology contract until after the corresponding payment from the Company’s client is received. Upon invoicing the end client on behalf of the subcontractor or staffing agency the Company records this amount simultaneously as both a “transit account receivable” and “transit account payable” as the amount when paid to the Company is due to and generally paid to the subcontractor within a few days. The Company typically does not pay a given transit account payable until the related transit account receivable is collected. Transit accounts payable often exceeds transit accounts receivable due to timing differences. The transit accounts receivable was $10.0 million and related transit accounts payable was $12.0 million as of December 29, 2012.

Permanent Placement Services - The Company earns permanent placement fees from providing permanent placement services. Fees for placements are recognized at the time the candidate commences employment. The Company guarantees its permanent placements on a prorated basis for 90 days. In the event a candidate is not retained for the 90-day period, the Company will provide a suitable replacement candidate. In the event a replacement candidate cannot be located, the Company will provide a prorated refund to the client. An allowance for refunds, based upon the Company’s historical experience, is recorded in the financial statements. Revenues are recorded on a gross basis.

ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
	RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable are primarily due from trade customers. Credit is extended based on evaluation of customers’ financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable payment terms vary and are stated in the financial statements at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.

The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts decreased by approximately $0.3 million to $1.2 million as of December 29, 2012 from $1.5 million as of December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the Company’s decision to write off certain older accounts receivable as these amounts were deemed uncollectible.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations. The Company is required to assess the carrying value of its reporting units that contain goodwill at least on an annual basis in order to determine if any impairment in value has occurred. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a two-step impairment test. An assessment of those qualitative factors or the application of the goodwill impairment test requires significant judgment including but not limited to the assessment of the business, its management and general market conditions, estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the businesses, the useful life over which cash flows will occur and determination of weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions on goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. The Company formally assesses these qualitative factors and, if necessary, conducts its annual goodwill impairment test as of the last day of the Company’s fiscal November each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The Company periodically analyzes whether any such indicators of impairment exist. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include a sustained, significant decline in share price and market capitalization, a decline in expected future cash flows, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, unanticipated competition, a material change in management or other key personnel and/or slower expected growth rates, among others. Due to the thin trading of the Company stock in the public marketplace and the impact of the control premium held by a relatively few shareholders, the Company does not consider the market capitalization of the Company the most appropriate measure of fair value of goodwill for our reporting units. The Company looks to earnings/revenue multiples of similar companies recently completing acquisitions and the ability of our reporting units to generate cash flows as better measures of the fair value of our reporting units. The Company compares the fair value of each of its reporting units to their respective carrying values, including related goodwill. There can be no assurance that future tests of goodwill impairment will not result in impairment charges.

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When it is probable that undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset’s carrying amount, the asset is written down to its fair value. Assets to be disposed of by sale, if any, are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
	RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Accounting for Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units

The Company uses stock options and restricted stock units to attract, retain and reward employees for long-term service. The Company follows “Share Based Payment,” which requires that the compensation cost relating to stock-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. This compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The Company measures stock-based compensation cost using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for stock options and the fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant for restricted stock units.

Insurance Liabilities

The Company has risk participation arrangements with respect to workers compensation and health care insurance. The Company establishes loss provisions based on historical experience and in the case of expected losses from workers compensation, considers input from third parties. The amounts included in the Company’s costs related to this risk participation are estimated and can vary based on changes in assumptions, the Company’s claims experience or the providers included in the associated insurance programs.

Accounting for Income Taxes

In establishing the provision for income taxes and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the Company makes judgments and interpretations based on enacted tax laws, published tax guidance and estimates of future earnings. As of December 29, 2012, the Company had domestic short term deferred tax assets of $0.5 million, total domestic long term net deferred income tax assets of $2.2 million and foreign tax liability of $0.1 million. The domestic short term deferred tax assets primarily represent the tax effect of accrued expenses which will be deductible for tax purposes within a twelve month period. The domestic long term deferred tax assets represent the tax effect of temporary differences for the GAAP versus tax amortization of intangibles arising from acquisitions made in prior periods. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the likelihood that future taxable income will be sufficient to realize these benefits over time, and the effectiveness of tax planning strategies in the relevant tax jurisdictions. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates and assessments, valuation allowances may be required.

The Company conducts its operations in multiple tax jurisdictions in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to audits by state and local tax authorities for tax years prior to 2008. The Company’s federal income tax returns have been examined through 2010.

The Company’s future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by changes in the valuation of its deferred tax assets or liabilities or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. In addition, the Company is subject to the examination of its income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes.

Accrued Bonuses

The Company pays bonuses to certain executive management, field management and corporate employees based on, or after giving consideration to, a variety of financial performance measures. Executive management, field management and certain corporate employees’ bonuses are accrued throughout the year for payment during the first quarter of the following year, based in part upon anticipated annual results compared to annual budgets. In addition, the Company pays discretionary bonuses to certain employees, which are not related to budget performance. Variances in actual results versus budgeted amounts can have a significant impact on the calculations and therefore on the estimates of the required accruals. Accordingly, the actual earned bonuses may be materially different from the estimates used to determine the quarterly accruals.

ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
	RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Forward-looking Information

The Company’s growth prospects are influenced by broad economic trends. The pace of customer capital spending programs, new product launches and similar activities have a direct impact on the need for information technology and engineering services. When the U.S., Canadian or global economies decline, the Company’s operating performance could be adversely impacted. The Company believes that its fiscal discipline, strategic focus on targeted vertical markets and diversification of service offerings provides some insulation from adverse trends. However, declines in the economy could result in the need for future cost reductions or changes in strategy.

Additionally, changes in government regulations could result in prohibition or restriction of certain types of employment services or the imposition of new or additional employee benefits, licensing or tax requirements with respect to the provision of employment services that may reduce the Company’s future earnings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to increase the fees charged to its clients in a timely manner and in a sufficient amount to cover increased costs as a result of any of the foregoing.

The consulting and employment services market is highly competitive with limited barriers to entry. The Company competes in global, national, regional and local markets with numerous competitors in all of the Company’s service lines. Price competition in the industries the Company serves is significant, and pricing pressures from competitors and customers are increasing. The Company expects that the level of competition will remain high in the future, which could limit the Company’s ability to maintain or increase its market share or profitability.

ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
	RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Fiscal Year Ended December 29, 2012 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011

Revenues. Revenues increased 1.4%, or $2.0 million, for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 as compared to the prior fiscal year (the “comparable prior year period”). Revenues decreased $1.7 million in the Information Technology segment, increased $4.0 million in the Engineering segment, and decreased $0.3 million in the Specialty Health Care segment. See Segment Discussion for further information on revenue changes. After normalizing for the BGA acquisition (See Footnote 6 in the Consolidated Financial Statements), the Company experienced a slight proforma decrease in revenues to $148.4 million during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 as compared to $148.8 million in the comparable prior year period.

Cost of Services. Cost of services increased 2.9%, or $3.0 million, for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues increased to 72.8% for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 from 71.7% for the comparable prior year period. The increase in cost of services and the cost of services as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to a reduction in higher margin project work and higher non-billable labor expenses associated with the Engineering segment’s Canadian Engineering division and an increase in the cost of services as a percentage of revenues in the Company’s Specialty Health Care segment. See Segment Discussion for further information on changes in cost of services.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative (“SGA”) expenses increased 1.8%, or $0.6 million, for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 as compared to the comparable prior year period. SGA expense as a percentage of revenues was essentially equal at 22.7% for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 and the comparable prior year period. The increase in SGA expense was primarily due to the BGA acquisition which added approximately $0.7 million and was offset by decreases in SGA expense in the Company’s Information Technology segment. See Segment Discussion for further information on changes in SGA expense.

Other Income, Net. Other income, net consists of interest expense, unused line fees and amortized loan costs on the Company’s loan agreement, net of interest income, gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and any other non-operating items incurred from time to time. The Company reduced its contingent consideration for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 by $0.1 million whereas there was no reduction in contingent consideration for the comparable prior year period.

Income Tax Expense. The Company recognized $2.1 million of income tax expense for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 as compared to $2.7 million for the comparable prior year period. The consolidated effective income tax rate for the current period was 39.5% as compared to 38.3% for the comparable prior year period. The increase in the consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to the fact that i ncome tax expense for the comparable prior year period was reduced by $0.2 million due to a $0.6 million write-off of an investment in the Company’s former Ireland subsidiary.

Segment Discussion (See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements)

Information Technology

Information Technology revenues of $52.2 million in the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 decreased $1.7 million, or 3.2%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The Company believes the decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the continued residual impact from poor execution by its sales generation team in 2011, which the Company has taken, and continues to take, steps to remediate, and the Company’s focus on higher gross margin services. The Company is encouraged that the Information Technology segment’s cost of services as a percentage of revenues decreased to 70.8% for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 as compared to 71.5% for the comparable prior year period. Also, the Company made a strategic decision to shed a large low margin client that generated revenues of $0.4 million for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 as compared to $2.1 million in the comparable prior year period. The Information Technology segment operating income was $1.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 as compared to $0.7 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in operating income was due to improvements in the Company’s cost of sales as a percentage of revenues, resulting from a focus on higher profit assignments and a decrease in SGA expense of $0.5 million. The decrease in SGA expense was primarily due to decreases in facilities costs.

Engineering

Engineering revenues of $66.6 million in the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 increased $4.0 million, or 6.0%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the BGA acquisition which contributed revenues of $3.3 million for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2012. The Engineering segment operating income was $3.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 as compared to $4.5 million in the comparable prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to an increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue for the Company’s Canadian Engineering division, a $0.2 million write-down of equipment no longer in use in Canada and deemed worthless and a higher allocation of corporate SGA expense as compared to the comparable prior year period. Corporate SGA expense is allocated to the three segments based on revenues. The Engineering segment cost of services as a percentage of revenues increased to 76.1% for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 as compared to 74.2% for the comparable prior year period. The increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to a reduction in higher margin project work and higher non-billable labor expenses associated with the Engineering segment’s Canadian Engineering division.

Specialty Health Care

Specialty Health Care revenues of $27.0 million in the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 decreased $0.3 million, or 1.3%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The Company believes that the decrease was due to normal fluctuations in revenues and a significant impact from Super Storm Sandy which heavily impacted the New York City Metropolitan market in which the Specialty Health Care segment primarily operates. The Specialty Health Care segment’s operating income for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 was $1.1 million as compared to operating income of $1.8 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to an increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenue to 68.2% for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 from 66.3% in the comparable prior year period. The primary reason for the increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenue is from a tightened supply of the skilled set of workers required for the customers of the Specialty Health Care segment and a corresponding increase in their compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes the major captions from the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

($ in thousands):

		Fiscal Years Ended
		December 29, 2012		December 31, 2011
Cash provided by (used in):
	Operating activities	$3,564		$6,470
	Investing activities	($1,848	)	($418	)
	Financing activities	($15,999	)	($2,226	)

Operating Activities

Operating activities provided $3.6 million of cash for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 as compared to $6.5 million in the comparable prior year period. The major components of the cash provided by operating activities in the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 and the comparable prior year period are as follows: net income and changes in accounts receivable, the net of transit accounts payable and transit accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and accrued payroll and related costs.

Net income for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 was $3.2 million as compared to $4.3 million for the comparable prior year period. An increase in accounts receivable for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 used $4.7 million as compared to a decrease in accounts receivable for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 which provided $2.0 million. The increase in accounts receivables for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 is primarily due to the Company’s work-in-progress balance which increased by $4.7 million to $13.6 million as of December 29, 2012 from $8.9 million as of December 31, 2011. The Company anticipates the work-in-progress balance will decrease over the next two quarters. The Company’s net of transit accounts payable and transit accounts receivable generated $2.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012, as compared to no impact in the comparable prior year period.

An increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 provided $2.2 million as compared to using $0.9 million in the comparable prior year period. The Company attributes these changes to general timing of payments to vendors in the normal course of business. An increase in accrued payroll and related costs for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 provided $0.4 million as compared to using $1.1 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in accrued payroll and related costs for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 primarily relates to an increase in accrued payroll associated with the BGA acquisition.

Investing Activities

Investing activities used cash of $1.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 as compared to using cash of $0.4 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in cash used by investing activities was primarily attributable to $1.3 million used to acquire the assets of BGA. The Company also acquired $0.5 million in property and equipment during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 as compared to $0.3 million in the comparable prior year period. The Company anticipates enhancing its financial reporting and accounting system platform sometime in 2013 and, as a result, it may see a significant rise in expenditures for property and equipment.

Financing Activities

Financing activities used $16.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 as compared to $2.2 million for the comparable prior year period. The primary use of cash was related to the Company’s payment of a one-time special dividend of $1.00 per share of common stock which was approximately $12.3 million. The Company also used cash of $4.7 million for the Company’s share repurchase program as compared to $2.5 million in the comparable prior year period. Cash of $0.9 million was provided by the exercise of stock options as compared to $0.1 million for the comparable prior year period. The Company attributes the increase in cash provided by the exercise of stock options to the special one-time dividend in that employees exercised stock options in order to receive the special dividend.

The Company and its subsidiaries are party to a loan agreement with Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, amended and restated effective February 20, 2009, which provides for a $15 million revolving credit facility and includes a sub-limit of $5 million for letters of credit (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility has been amended several times, most recently on December 24, 2011 when the maturity date was extended to August 31, 2016. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at one of two alternative rates, as selected by the Company at each incremental borrowing. These alternatives are: (i) LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), plus applicable margin, or (ii) Citizens Bank’s prime rate. The Company also pays unused line fees based on the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility that is not drawn. Unused line fees are recorded as interest expense.

All borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are collateralized by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and a pledge of the stock of its subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains various financial and non-financial covenants, such as a covenant that restricts on the Company’s ability to borrow in order to pay dividends. Since the Company did not borrow in order to fund the dividend paid on December 29, 2012, the Company did not require any waiver any covenant under its Revolving Credit Facility.

There were no borrowings during the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011. At December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were letters of credit outstanding for $0.8 million. At December 29, 2012, the Company had availability for additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility of $14.2 million.

As of December 29, 2012, $3.1 million of the $14.1 million (on the Consolidated Balance Sheet) of cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

Commitments

The Company anticipates that its primary uses of capital in future periods will be for working capital purposes. Funding for any long-term and short-term capital requirements as well as future acquisitions will be derived from one or more of the Revolving Credit Facility (or a replacement thereof), funds generated through operations or future financing transactions. The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, which may or may not be covered by insurance. Were an unfavorable final outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our financial position, liquidity, and the results of operations.

The Company’s business strategy is to achieve growth both internally through operations and externally through strategic acquisitions. The Company from time to time engages in discussions with potential acquisition candidates. As the size of the Company and its financial resources increase however, acquisition opportunities requiring significant commitments of capital may arise. In order to pursue such opportunities, the Company may be required to incur debt or issue potentially dilutive securities in the future. No assurance can be given as to the Company’s future acquisition and expansion opportunities or how such opportunities will be financed.

The Company does not currently have material commitments for capital expenditures. However, the Company anticipates that it will enhance its current financial reporting and accounting system platform sometime in 2013. The Company’s current commitments consist primarily of lease obligations for office space. The Company believes that its capital resources are sufficient to meet its present obligations and those to be incurred in the normal course of business through December 28, 2013.

The Company leases office facilities and various equipment under non-cancelable leases expiring at various dates through June 2020. Certain leases are subject to escalation clauses based upon changes in various factors. The minimum future annual operating lease commitments for leases with non-cancelable terms, exclusive of unknown operating escalation charges, are as follows ($ in thousands):

Fiscal Years	Amount
2013	$2,901
2014	1,925
2015	1,499
2016	1,011
2017	863
Thereafter	1,186
Total	$9,385

As of December 29, 2012, the Company had two active acquisition agreements: 1) the Company acquired certain assets of Project Solutions Group, Inc. (“PSG”) in 2009; and 2) effective July 1, 2012 the Company acquired certain assets of BGA as more fully described in Footnote 6 in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company cannot estimate future contingent payments with certainty. However, the Company estimates future contingent payments as follows (in thousands):

Period Ending	PSG	BGA	Total
December 28, 2013	$92	$228	$320
January 3, 2015	-	253	253
January 2, 2016	-	269	269
December 31, 2016	-	307	307

The Company does not believe that future Earnouts to be paid, if any, are likely to be material.

Significant employment agreements are as follows:

Employment Agreement - Leon Kopyt

The Company has an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer and President, Leon Kopyt, which currently provides for an annual base salary of $0.7 million and other customary benefits. In addition, the agreement provides that Mr. Kopyt’s annual bonus be based on EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The agreement is for a rolling term of three years, which automatically extends each year for an additional one-year period on February 28 of each year. The agreement expires on February 28, 2016. The employment agreement is terminable by the Company upon Mr. Kopyt’s death or disability, or for “good and sufficient cause,” as defined in the agreement.

Termination Benefits Agreement - Leon Kopyt

The Company is party to a Termination Benefits Agreement with Mr. Kopyt, amended on December 12, 2007 to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Benefits Agreement”). Pursuant to the Benefits Agreement, following a Change in Control (as defined therein), the remaining term of Mr. Kopyt’s employment is extended for five years (the “Extended Term”). If Mr. Kopyt’s employment is terminated thereafter by the Company other than for cause, or by Mr. Kopyt for good reason (including, among other things, a material change in Mr. Kopyt’s salary, title, reporting responsibilities or a change in office location which requires Mr. Kopyt to relocate), then the following provisions take effect: the Company is obligated to pay Mr. Kopyt a lump sum equal to his salary and bonus for the remainder of the Extended Term; and the Company shall be obligated to pay to Mr. Kopyt the amount of any excise tax associated with the benefits provided to Mr. Kopyt under the Benefits Agreement. If such a termination had taken place as of December 29, 2012, Mr. Kopyt would have been entitled to cash payments of approximately $6.1 million (representing salary and excise tax payments). A Change in Control as defined in the Benefits Agreement does not include a transaction whereby the Company sells, exchanges, transfers or otherwise disposes of substantially all of the assets in a transaction approved by at least two-thirds of the Board of Directors.

Severance Agreement - Leon Kopyt

The Company is party to a Severance Agreement with Mr. Kopyt, amended on December 12, 2007 to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Severance Agreement”). The agreement provides for certain payments to be made to Mr. Kopyt and for the continuation of Mr. Kopyt’s employee benefits for a specified time after his service with the Company is terminated other than “for cause,” as defined in the Severance Agreement. Amounts payable to Mr. Kopyt under the Severance Agreement would be offset and reduced by any amounts received by Mr. Kopyt after his termination of employment under his employment agreement and the Benefits Agreement, which are supplemented and not superseded by the Severance Agreement. If Mr. Kopyt had been terminated as of December 29, 2012, then under the terms of the Severance Agreement, and after offsetting any amounts that would have been received under his current employment and termination benefits agreements, he would have been entitled to cash payments of approximately $4.5 million, inclusive of employee benefits.

Executive Severance Agreements with Kevin Miller and Rocco Campanelli

The Company is a party to Executive Severance Agreements (the “Executive Severance Agreements”) with Rocco Campanelli, the Company’s Executive Vice President, and Kevin Miller, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, which set forth the terms and conditions of certain payments to be made by the Company to each executive in the event, while employed by the Company, such executive experiences (a) a termination of employment unrelated to a “Change in Control” (as defined therein) or (b) there occurs a Change in Control and either (i) the executive’s employment is terminated for a reason related to the Change in Control or (ii) the executive remains continuously employed with the Company for a specified period of time following the Change in Control (i.e., twelve months for Mr. Campanelli and three months for Mr. Miller).

Under the terms of the Executive Severance Agreements, if either (a) the executive is involuntarily terminated by the Company for any reason other than “Cause” (as defined therein), “Disability” (as defined therein) or death, or (b) the executive resigns for “Good Reason” (as defined therein), and, in each case, the termination is not a “Termination Related to a Change in Control” (as defined below), the executive will receive the following severance payments: (i) an amount equal to 1.5 times the sum of (a) the executive’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the termination date (before taking into account any reduction that constitutes Good Reason) (“Annual Base Salary”) and (b) the highest annual bonus paid to the executive in any of the three fiscal years immediately preceding the executive’s termination date (“Bonus”), to be paid in installments over the twelve month period following the executive’s termination date; and (ii) for a period of eighteen months following the executive’s termination date, a monthly payment equal to the monthly COBRA premium that the executive is required to pay to continue medical, vision, and dental coverage, for himself and, where applicable, his spouse and eligible dependents.

Notwithstanding the above, if the executive has a termination as described above and can reasonably demonstrate that such termination would constitute a Termination Related to a Change in Control, and a Change in Control occurs within 120 days following the executive’s termination date, the executive will be entitled to receive the payments set forth below for a Termination Related to a Change in Control, less any amounts already paid to the executive, upon consummation of the Change in Control.

Under the terms of the Executive Severance Agreements, if a Change in Control occurs and (a) the executive experiences a Termination Related to a Change in Control on account of (i) an involuntary termination by the Company for any reason other than Cause, death, or Disability, (ii) an involuntary termination by the Company within a specified period of time following a Change in Control (i.e., twelve months for Mr. Campanelli and three months for Mr. Miller) on account of Disability or death, or (iii) a resignation by the executive with Good Reason; or (b) a resignation by the executive, with or without Good Reason, which results in a termination date that is the last day of the specified period (i.e., twelve months for Mr. Campanelli and three months for Mr. Miller) following a Change in Control, then the executive will receive the following severance payments: (1) a lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of the executive’s (a) Annual Base Salary and (b) Bonus; and (2) a lump sum payment equal to twenty-four multiplied by the monthly COBRA premium cost, as in effect immediately prior to the executive’s termination date, for the executive to continue medical, dental and vision coverage, as applicable, in such Company plans for himself and, if applicable, his spouse and eligible dependents.

The Executive Severance Agreements provide that if the executive remains continuously employed for a specified period of time following a Change in Control (i.e., twelve months for Mr. Campanelli and three months for Mr. Miller) and is employed by the Company on the last day of such specified period, the executive will receive a lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of the executive’s (a) Annual Base Salary and (b) Bonus (the “Change in Control Payment”). If the executive receives the Change in Control Payment, the executive will not be eligible to receive any severance payments under his Executive Severance Agreement.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Impact of Inflation

Consulting, staffing, and project services are generally priced based on mark-ups on prevailing rates of pay, and as a result are able to generally maintain their relationship to direct labor costs. Permanent placement services are priced as a function of salary levels of the job candidates.

The Company’s business is labor intensive; therefore, the Company has a high exposure to increasing healthcare benefit costs. The Company attempts to compensate for these escalating costs in its business cost models and customer pricing by passing along some of these increased healthcare benefit costs to its customers and employees, however, the Company has not been able to pass on all increases. The Company is continuing to review its options to further control these costs, which the Company does not believe are representative of general inflationary trends. Otherwise, inflation has not been a meaningful factor in the Company’s operations.

New Accounting Standards

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, that are of material significance, or have potential material significance, to the Company.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB and SEC and/or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s investment portfolio and debt instruments, which primarily consist of its Revolving Credit Facility. The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments in its portfolio. The Company places its investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards. The Company is adverse to principal loss and ensures the safety and preservation of its invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. As of December 29, 2012, the Company’s investments consisted of cash and money market funds. The Company does not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate changes. Presently the impact of a 10% (approximately 90 basis points) increase in interest rates on its variable debt (using an incremental borrowing rate) would have a relatively nominal impact on the Company’s results of operations. The Company does not expect any material loss with respect to its investment portfolio.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that those disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our system of internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2012 based upon criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this assessment, management determined that the company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 29, 2012, based on the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter and that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

RCM Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “RCM”) is a premier provider of business and technology solutions designed to enhance and maximize the operational performance of its customers through the adaptation and deployment of advanced information technology and engineering services. Additionally, the Company provides specialty health care staffing services through its Specialty Health Care Services group. RCM’s offices are primarily located in major metropolitan centers throughout North America.

The consolidated financial statements are comprised of the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers its holdings of highly liquid money-market instruments and certificates of deposits to be cash equivalents if the securities mature within 90 days from the date of acquisition. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company’s cash balances are maintained in accounts held by major banks and financial institutions. The majority of these balances exceed federally insured amounts. At December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $3.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held in Canadian banks.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s carrying value of financial instruments, consisting primarily of accounts receivable, transit accounts receivable, accounts payable, transit accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to their liquidity or their short-term nature. The Company does not have derivative products in place to manage risks related to foreign currency fluctuations for its foreign operations or for interest rate changes.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s accounts receivable are primarily due from trade customers. Credit is extended based on evaluation of customers’ financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable payment terms vary and are stated in the financial statements at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables previously written off are credited to bad debt expense.

Accrued and Unbilled Accounts Receivable and Work-in-Process

Unbilled receivables primarily represent revenues earned whereby those services are ready to be billed as of the balance sheet ending date. Work-in-process primarily represents revenues earned under contracts which the Company is contractually precluded from invoicing until future dates as project milestones are realized. See Note 4 for further details.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Transit Receivables and Transit Payables

From time to time, the Company’s Engineering segment enters into agreements to provide, among other things, construction management and engineering services. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company: a) engages subcontractors to provide construction services; b) typically earns a fixed percentage of the total project value as a management fee and c) assumes no ownership or risks of inventory. In such situations, the Company acts as an agent under the provisions of “Overall Considerations of Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent” and therefore recognizes revenue on a “net basis.” Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is not required to pay the subcontractor until after the corresponding payment from the Company’s end client is received. Upon invoicing the end client on behalf of the subcontractor the Company records this amount simultaneously as both a “transit account receivable” and “transit account payable” as the amount (when paid to the Company) is due to and generally paid to the subcontractor within a few days. At any given point in time, the Company’s transit accounts receivable usually equal the transit accounts payable. However, the transit accounts payable will occasionally exceed the transit accounts receivable due to timing differences.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and amortization and are depreciated on the straight-line method at rates calculated to provide for retirement of assets at the end of their estimated useful lives. The Company’s ERP software system, installed in 1999 and upgraded in 2004, is being depreciated over fifteen years. The Company’s VOIP telephone system, the installation of which was substantially complete at the end of 2008, is being depreciated over seven years. All other hardware and software as well as furniture and office equipment is depreciated over five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term. The Company anticipates that it will enhance its current financial reporting and accounting system platform sometime in 2013.

Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets have been generated through acquisitions. The Company maintains responsibility for valuing and determining the useful life of intangible assets and typically engages a third party valuation firm to assist them. As a general rule, the Company amortizes restricted covenants over four years and customer relationships over six years. However, circumstances may dictate other amortization terms as determined by the Company and their third party advisors.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations. The Company is required to assess the carrying value of its reporting units that contain goodwill at least on an annual basis in order to determine if any impairment in value has occurred. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a two-step impairment test. An assessment of those qualitative factors or the application of the goodwill impairment test requires significant judgment including but not limited to the assessment of the business, its management and general market conditions, estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the businesses, the useful life over which cash flows will occur and determination of weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions on goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. The Company formally assesses these qualitative factors and, if necessary, conducts its annual goodwill impairment test as of the last day of the Company’s fiscal November each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The Company periodically analyzes whether any such indicators of impairment exist. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include a sustained, significant decline in share price and market capitalization, a decline in expected future cash flows, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, unanticipated competition, a material change in management or its key personnel and/or slower expected growth rates, among others. Due to the thin trading of the Company stock in the public marketplace and the impact of the control premium held by a relatively few shareholders, the Company does not consider the market capitalization of the Company the most appropriate measure of fair value of goodwill for our reporting units. The Company looks to earnings/revenue multiples of similar companies recently completing acquisitions and the ability of our reporting units to generate cash flows as better measures of the fair value of our reporting units. The Company compares the fair value of each of its reporting units to their respective carrying values, including related goodwill. The Company determined there was no impairment during the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Management periodically reviews the carrying amounts of long-lived assets to determine whether current events or circumstances warrant adjustment to such carrying amounts. Any impairment is measured by the amount that the carrying value of such assets exceeds their fair value, primarily based on estimated discounted cash flows. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of assets. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their financial statement carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell.

Software

In accordance with “Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,” certain costs related to the development or purchase of internal-use software are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. During the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company capitalized approximately $101 and $82, respectively, for software costs. At December 29, 2012 the net balance after accumulated depreciation for all software costs capitalized was $253.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Income Taxes

We make judgments and interpretations based on enacted tax laws, published tax guidance, as well as estimates of future earnings. These judgments and interpretations affect the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance. We evaluated the deferred tax assets and determined on the basis of objective factors that the net assets will be realized through future years’ taxable income. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates and assessments, additional valuation allowances may be required.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with “Accounting for Income Taxes” which requires an asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. “Accounting for Income Taxes” requires assessment of the likelihood of realizing benefits associated with deferred tax assets for purposes of determining whether a valuation allowance is needed for such deferred tax assets. The Company and its wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company also files tax returns in Canada and Ireland.

The Company also follows the provisions of “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which prescribes a model for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and transition. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalty, if any, as interest expense.

Revenue Recognition

Project Services

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with “Revenue Recognition” which clarifies application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to revenue transactions. Project services are generally provided on a cost-plus, fixed-fee or time-and-material basis. Typically, a customer will outsource a discrete project or activity and the Company assumes responsibility for the performance of such project or activity. The Company recognizes revenues and associated costs on a gross basis as services are provided to the customer and costs are incurred using its employees. The Company, from time to time, enters into contracts requiring the completion of specific deliverables. The Company may recognize revenues on these deliverables at the time the client accepts and approves the deliverables. In instances where project services are provided on a fixed-price basis and the contract will extend beyond a 12-month period, revenue is recorded in accordance with the terms of each contract. In some instances, revenue is billed at the time certain milestones are reached, as defined in the contract. Revenues under these arrangements are recognized as the costs on these contracts are incurred. Amounts invoiced in excess of revenues recognized are recorded as deferred revenue, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheets. In other instances, revenue is billed and recorded based upon contractual rates per hour (i.e., percentage of completion). In addition, some contracts contain “Performance Fees” (bonuses) for completing a contract under budget. Performance Fees, if any, are recorded when earned. Some contracts also limit revenues and billings to specified maximum amounts. Provision for contract losses, if any, are made in the period such losses are determined. For contracts where there is a deliverable, the work is not complete on a specific deliverable and the revenue is not recognized, the costs are deferred. The associated costs are expensed when the related revenue is recognized.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition (Continued)

See description of revenue recognition policy for construction management and engineering services above in “transit receivables and transit payables.” Such revenues recognized were approximately 10.5% of total revenues for the year ended December 29, 2012 as compared to 4.2% for the prior year.

Consulting and Staffing Services

Revenues derived from consulting and staffing services are recorded on a gross basis as services are performed and associated costs have been incurred using employees of the Company. These services are typically billed on a time and material basis.

Transit Receivables and Transit Payables

From time to time, the Company’s Engineering segment enters into agreements to provide, among other things, construction management and engineering services. In certain circumstances, the Company may acquire equipment as a purchasing agent for the client for a fee. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company: a) engages subcontractors to provide construction services; b) typically earns a fixed percentage of the total project value as a fee and c) assumes no ownership or risks of inventory. In such situations, the Company acts as an agent under the provisions of “Overall Considerations of Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent” and therefore recognizing revenue on a “net-basis.” The Company records revenue on a “net” basis on relevant engineering and construction management projects, which require subcontractors or transit costs. In those situations, the Company charges the client a management fee, which is reported as net revenue when earned. Similarly, the Company’s Information Technology segment acts as an agent for a major staffing client. The Company manages the staffing requirements for a division of the client and numerous staffing agencies provide staff and the Company collects a management fee. During the fifty-two week period ended December 29, 2012, the total gross billings, including both transit cost billings and the Company’s earned fees, was $64.8 million, for which the Company recognized $15.3 million of its net management fee as revenue.

Revenue Recognition (Continued)

Permanent Placement Services

The Company earns permanent placement fees from providing permanent placement services. Fees for placements are recognized at the time the candidate commences employment. The Company guarantees its permanent placements on a prorated basis for 90 days. In the event a candidate is not retained for the 90-day period, the Company will provide a suitable replacement candidate. In the event a replacement candidate cannot be located, the Company will provide a prorated refund to the client. An allowance for refunds, based upon the Company’s historical experience, is recorded in the financial statements as necessary. Revenues are recorded on a gross basis. Such revenues are not significant for the years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Concentration

During the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012, United Technologies Corporation accounted for 11.8% of the Company’s revenues and as of December 29, 2012 represented 7.5% of the Company’s accounts receivable, net. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues. As of December 29, 2012, New York Power Authority total accounts receivable balance (including transit accounts receivable of $6.9 million) was $12.5 million or 23.3% of the total of accounts receivable, net and transit accounts receivable. As of December 29, 2012, Ontario Power Generation’s total accounts receivable balance (including transit accounts receivable of $1.9 million) was $6.3 million or 11.8% of the total of accounts receivable, net and transit accounts receivable. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable, net. The Company’s five, ten and twenty largest customers accounted for approximately 37.4%, 46.9% and 57.5%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues for fiscal year ended December 29, 2012.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, United Technologies Corporation and Bruce Power accounted for 12.6% and 10.4% of the Company’s revenues and as of December 31, 2011 represented 15.4% and 5.6% of the Company’s accounts receivable, net, respectively. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues. As of December 31, 2011, New York Power Authority total accounts receivable balance (including 100% of transit accounts receivable of $3.0 million) was $7.2 million or 17.0% of the total of accounts receivable, net and transit accounts receivable. New York City Department of Education represents 10.0% of the Company’s accounts receivable, net. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable, net. The Company’s five, ten and twenty largest customers accounted for approximately 38.2%, 47.7% and 57.7%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues for fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at weighted average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Any translation adjustments are included in the accumulated other comprehensive income account in stockholders’ equity. Transactions executed in different currencies resulting in exchange adjustments are translated at spot rates and resulting foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are included in the results of operations.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Per Share Data

Basic net income per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive common shares consist of stock options and other stock-based awards under the Company’s stock compensation plans, when their impact is dilutive. Because of the Company’s capital structure, all reported earnings pertain to common shareholders and no other adjustments are necessary.

Share - Based Compensation

The Company recognizes share-based compensation over the vesting period of an award based on fair value at the grant date determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Certain assumptions are used to determine the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant and require subjective judgment. Because employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing models may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the employee stock options. Management assesses the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate estimated fair value of stock-based compensation when share-based awards are granted. Circumstances may change and additional data may become available over time, which could result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies and thereby materially impact our fair value determination. See Note 11 for additional share-based compensation information.

Restricted stock units are recognized at their fair value. The amount of compensation cost is measured on the grant date fair value of the equity instrument issued. The Compensation cost of the restricted stock units is recognized over the vesting period of the restricted stock units on a straight-line basis. Restricted stock units typically include dividend accrual equivalents, which means that any dividends paid by the Company during the vesting period become due and payable after the vesting period assuming the grantee’s restricted stock unit fully vests. Dividends for these grants are accrued on the dividend payment dates and included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Dividends for restricted share units that ultimately do not vest are forfeited.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expense was $497 and $596 for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

2.	FISCAL YEAR

The Company follows a 52/53 week fiscal reporting calendar ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Both fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 (fiscal 2011) and December 29, 2012 (fiscal 2012) were a 52-week reporting years.

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated)

3.	USE OF ESTIMATES AND UNCERTAINTIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company uses estimates to calculate an allowance for doubtful accounts on its accounts receivables, adequacy of reserves, the tax rate applied and the valuation of certain assets and liability accounts. These estimates can be significant to the operating results and financial position of the Company.

The Company has risk participation arrangements with respect to workers compensation and health care insurance. The amounts included in the Company’s costs related to this risk participation are estimated and can vary based on changes in assumptions, the Company’s claims experience or the providers included in the associated insurance programs.

The Company can be affected by a variety of factors including uncertainty relating to the performance of the general economy, competition, demand for the Company’s services, adverse litigation and claims and the hiring, training and retention of key employees.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s carrying value of financial instruments, consisting primarily of accounts receivable, transit accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and transit accounts payable approximates fair value due to their liquidity or their short-term nature. The Company does not have derivative products in place to manage risks related to foreign currency fluctuations for its foreign operations or for interest rate changes.

4. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company’s accounts receivable are comprised as follows:

	December 29, 2012		December 31, 2011
Billed	$26,600		$28,460
Accrued and unbilled	4,761		3,143
Work-in-progress	13,552		8,883
Allowance for doubtful accounts and sales discounts	(1,207	)	(1,455	)

Accounts receivable, net	$43,706		$39,031

Unbilled receivables primarily represent revenues earned whereby those services are ready to be billed as of the balance sheet date. Work-in-process primarily represents revenues earned under contracts which the Company contractually invoices at future dates.

The Company writes off fully depreciated assets each year. In the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, write-offs were $1,466 and $496, respectively. For the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, depreciation expense was $1,193 and $1,034, respectively.

6. ACQUISITIONS

General

The Company has acquired numerous companies throughout its history and those acquisitions have generally included significant future contingent consideration. The Company gives no assurance that it will make acquisitions in the future and if they do make acquisitions gives no assurance that such acquisitions will be successful.

Future Contingent Payments

As of December 29, 2012, the Company had two active acquisition agreements whereby additional contingent consideration may be earned: 1) the Company acquired certain assets of Project Solutions Group, Inc. (“PSG”) in 2009; and 2) effective July 1, 2012 the Company acquired certain assets of BGA, LLC (“BGA”) as more fully described below. The Company cannot estimate future contingent payments with any certainty. However, the Company estimates future contingent payments as follows:

Period Ending	PSG	BGA	Total
December 28, 2013	$92	$228	$320
January 3, 2015	-	253	253
January 2, 2016	-	269	269
December 31, 2016	-	307	307
Estimated future contingent consideration payments	$92	$1,057	$1,149

Actual future contingent payments may materially exceed the estimates above. In the case of future payments to PSG, the Company believes that it is highly unlikely that any future payments will materially exceed the estimates above. Future contingent payments to be made to BGA shall in no event exceed $3.0 million cumulatively. The Company estimates future contingent consideration in payments based on forecasted performance and records the net preset value of those expected payments as of December 29, 2012.

6. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)

Future Contingent Payments (Continued)

During the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012, the Company reduced its liability for contingent consideration by $135, which relates to the PSG acquisition and is reflected in other income. The Company paid no contingent consideration during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 and paid $128 during the comparable prior year period.

BGA, LLC

Effective July 1, 2012, the Company purchased the operating assets of BGA. BGA provides comprehensive multidiscipline engineering solutions across numerous industry sectors including Power Generation (both Nuclear and Fossil), Energy Delivery, Energy Management, Architecture, Commercial Building and Manufacturing. The Company believes that the BGA assembled workforce consists of highly trained and experienced engineers that will greatly assist RCM in executing future growth in revenues. The BGA acquisition will operate as part of the Company’s Engineering segment. The BGA purchase consideration consisted of the following:

Cash	$1,292
Lease in excess of market, net present value	469
Contingent consideration, net present value	930

Total consideration	$2,691

The facility lease payments in excess of market value are expected to be incurred over a four year period following the effective date of the BGA acquisition. The acquired above market lease is recorded at its fair value based on the present value, using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the acquired lease, equal to the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid under the lease agreement and an estimate of the fair market lease rate at the acquisition date. The shareholders of BGA are eligible to receive post-closing contingent consideration upon BGA exceeding certain base levels of operating income, potentially earned over four years and not to exceed a total of $3.0 million cumulatively. The amount recorded for the contingent consideration represents the acquisition date fair value of expected consideration to be paid based on BGA’s forecasted operating income during the four year period. Expected consideration was valued based on different possible scenarios for projected operating income. Each case was assigned a probability which was used to calculate an estimate of the forecasted future payments. Then a discount rate was applied to these forecasted future payments to determine the acquisition date fair value to be recorded. At the time of the acquisition, the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities acquired are the same, except for the above market value lease which gave rise to a deferred tax asset as shown below.

The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The total preliminary estimated purchase price has been allocated as follows:

Fixed assets	$28
Restricted covenants	70
Customer relationships	180
Deferred tax asset	187
Goodwill	2,226
Total consideration	$2,691

9.	LINE OF CREDIT

The Company and its subsidiaries are party to a loan agreement with Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, amended and restated effective February 20, 2009, which provides for a $15 million revolving credit facility and includes a sub-limit of $5 million for letters of credit (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility has been amended several times, most recently on December 24, 2011 when the maturity date was extended to August 31, 2016. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at one of two alternative rates, as selected by the Company at each incremental borrowing. These alternatives are: (i) LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), plus applicable margin, or (ii) the agent bank’s prime rate. The Company also pays unused line fees based on the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility that is not drawn. Unused line fees are recorded as interest expense.

All borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are collateralized by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and a pledge of the stock of its subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains various financial and non-financial covenants, such as restrictions on the Company’s ability to borrow to pay dividends. Since the Company did not borrow in order to fund the dividend paid on December 29, 2012, the Company did not require any waiver under its Revolving Credit Facility.

There were no borrowings during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 and fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. At December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were letters of credit outstanding for $0.8 million. At December 29, 2012, the Company had availability for additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility of $14.2 million.

10. PER SHARE DATA

The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the weighted-average shares used for diluted earnings per share. The number of common shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was determined as follows:

	Fiscal Years Ended
	December 29, 2012	December 31, 2011
Basic weighted average shares outstanding	12,343,426	12,976,308
Dilutive effect of outstanding stock options	196,709	168,092

Weighted average dilutive shares outstanding	12,540,135	13,144,400

For the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012, there were 67,280 potential anti-dilutive shares not included in the calculation of common stock equivalents.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, there were 79,290 potential anti-dilutive shares not included in the calculation of common stock equivalents.

11. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

During the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012, the Company had four share-based employee compensation plans and an employee stock purchase plan.

The Company measures the fair value of stock options or awards, if and when granted, based on the Black-Scholes method and using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Grants vest over periods ranging from one to three years and expire within 10 years of issuance. Share-based compensation expense related to awards is amortized in accordance with applicable vesting periods using the straight-line method. Share-based compensation expense of $169 and $110 was recognized for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Share based compensation includes the expense associated with all share-based grants including stock options, restricted share units and the Company’s employee stock purchase plan.

As of December 29, 2012, the Company had approximately $1.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted under the Company’s various share-based plans, which the Company expects to recognize over approximately a three-year period. These amounts do not include the cost of any additional awards that may be granted in future periods or reflect any potential changes in the Company’s forfeiture rate.

The Company granted 55,000 stock options and 350,000 restricted stock units during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 and no grants were issued during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

11. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)

The risk-free rate of return is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury Strips with terms equal to the expected life of the grants as of the grant date. The expected term of grant is based on historical stock option exercise experience. The Company used its historical stock price volatility to compute the expected stock price volatility. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s fiscal 2012 dividend rate. The annual forfeiture rate is based on the Company’s historical experience. No share based awards were granted in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. The Black-Scholes option weighted average assumptions used in the valuation of share based awards for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:

	Fiscal Years Ended
	December 29, 2012	December 31, 2011

1994 Non-employee Directors Stock Option Plan (the 1994 Plan)

The 1994 Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders in May 1994 and amended in April 1998, provided for the issuance of up to 110,000 shares of common stock to non-employee directors of the Company through February 19, 2004, at which time the 1994 Plan expired. Options granted under the 1994 Plan were granted at fair market value at the date of grant, and the exercise of options is contingent upon service as a director for a period of one year. Options granted under the 1994 Plan terminate when an optionee ceases to be a director of the Company. As of December 29, 2012, options to purchase 0 shares of common stock granted under the 1994 Plan were outstanding.

1996 Executive Stock Option Plan (the 1996 Plan)

The 1996 Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders in August 1996 and amended in April 1999, provided for the issuance of up to 1,250,000 shares of common stock to officers and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries through January 1, 2006, at which time the 1996 Plan expired. Options are generally granted at fair market value at the date of grant. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determined the vesting period at the time of grant. As of December 29, 2012, options to purchase 154,500 shares of common stock granted under the 1996 Plan were outstanding.

2000 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the 2000 Plan)

The 2000 Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders in April 2001, provides for the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to officers and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries or to consultants and advisors utilized by the Company.

11. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)

The 1994 Plan, 1996 Plan and 2000 Plan are expired and therefore no shares are available for issuance.

2007 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the 2007 Plan)

The 2007 Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders in June 2007, provides for the issuance of up to 700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to officers, non-employee directors, employees of the Company and its subsidiaries or to consultants and advisors utilized by the Company. The maximum aggregate number of shares of our common stock with respect to which all grants may be made under the Plan to any individual during any fiscal year is 300,000 shares. The maximum aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be subject to grants of stock units, performance shares, stock awards and other stock-based awards made under the Plan to any individual during any calendar year is 350,000 shares. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines the vesting period at the time of grant. As of December 29, 2012 under the 2007 Plan, 34,100 shares of common stock were available for future grants, options to purchase 76,400 shares of common stock granted and 350,000 restricted stock units were outstanding.

Restricted Stock Units

On November 16, 2012, the Company granted 350,000 restricted stock units all of which fully vest after three years of continued service. All of these restricted stock units include dividend accrual equivalents, which means that any dividends paid by the Company during the three year vesting period become due and payable after the three year vesting period assuming the grantee’s restricted stock unit fully vests. Dividends for these grants are accrued on the dividend payment dates and included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Dividends for restricted share units that ultimately do not vest are forfeited.

To date, the Company has only issued restricted stock units under the 2007 Plan. The following summarizes the restricted stock units activity under the 2007 Plan during 2012:

	Number of Restricted Stock Units (in thousands)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
Outstanding non-vested at January 1, 2012	0	0
Granted	350	$5.62
Vested	0	0
Forfeited or expired	0	0
Outstanding non-vested at December 29, 2012	350	$5.62

Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $5.32 per share on December 28, 2012, the intrinsic value of the non-vested restricted stock units at December 29, 2012 was $1.9 million. As of December 29, 2012, there was approximately $1.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 34.5 months.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company implemented the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) with shareholder approval, effective January 1, 2001. Under the Purchase Plan, employees meeting certain specific employment qualifications are eligible to participate and can purchase shares of common stock semi-annually through payroll deductions at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the stock at the commencement or end of the offering period. The purchase plan permits eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock through payroll deductions for up to 10% of qualified compensation. During the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were 29,205 and 43,407 shares issued under the Purchase Plan for net proceeds of $128 and $168, respectively. As of December 29, 2012, there were 247,752 shares available for issuance under the Purchase Plan. Compensation expense, representing the discount to the quoted market price, for the Purchase Plan for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $65 and $58, respectively.

12.	TREASURY STOCK TRANSACTIONS

Our Board of Directors instituted a share repurchase program in February 2010, which authorized the repurchase of up to $7.5 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of our common stock at prevailing market prices, from time to time over the subsequent 12 months. In February 2011, the share repurchase program was extended through February 2013. During the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012, the Company repurchased 866,070 shares at a total cost of approximately $4.7 million, or an average price of $5.43 per share. Since the inception of its share repurchase program and through December 29, 2012, the Company has purchased 1,457,856 shares at a total cost of approximately $7.4 million, or an average price of $5.09.

As of January 4, 2013, the Company used 100% of the funds approved by its Board of Directors in February 2010 to repurchase the Company’s common stock.

13.	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, “FASB” issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”. The update gives companies the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in the update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12 “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” This update stated that the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income will be deferred. In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02 “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. This update requires companies to present the effects on the line items of net income of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to be reclassified in its entirety to net income in the same reporting period. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of the amended guidance to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company follows “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” which establishes standards for companies to report information about operating segments, geographic areas and major customers. The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 1 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012.)

15. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

A reconciliation of the unrecognized tax benefits for the year December 29, 2012:

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Balance as of December 31, 2011	$473
Additions for current year tax positions	-

Balance as of December 29, 2012	$473

Unrecognized tax benefits amounted to $473 at December 29, 2012 which related to a refund received during fiscal 2011 as the result of utilization of net operating loss carryforward. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to the Company’s tax positions is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, the settlements of ongoing audits and/or the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. Although the outcomes and timing of such events are highly uncertain, it is reasonably possible that the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits will not change during the next 12 months. However, changes in the occurrence, expected outcomes and timing of those events could cause the Company’s current estimate to change materially in the future.

The Company accounts for penalties or interest related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for income taxes and records such amounts to interest expense. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the effective tax rate if recognized is $473. The Company recorded no expense for penalties or interest in the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

At December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following:

	December 29, 2012		December 31, 2011
Deferred tax assets:
Allowance for doubtful accounts	$483		$582
Acquisition amortization, net	2,214		2,764
Reserves and accruals	432		477
Other	179		-
Total deferred tax assets	3,308		3,823

Deferred tax liabilities:
Prepaid expense deferral	(436	)	(394	)
Bonus depreciation to be reversed	(129	)	(78	)
Canada deferred tax liability, net	(73	)	(85	)
Total deferred tax liabilities	(638	)	(557	)
Total deferred tax assets, net	$2,670		$3,266

The consolidated effective income tax rate for the current year was 39.5% as compared to 38.3% for the comparable prior year period. Income tax expense for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 was reduced by $0.2 million due to a $0.6 million write-off of an investment in the Company’s former Ireland subsidiary.

15. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The Company conducts its operations in multiple tax jurisdictions in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The Company closed its Ireland office in December 2011. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return and file in various states. The Company’s federal income tax returns have been examined through 2010. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to audits by state and local tax authorities for tax years prior to 2009.

16.	CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. As such, the Company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of losses and possible recoveries. The Company may not be covered by insurance as it pertains to some or all of these matters. A determination of the amount of the provision required for these commitments and contingencies, if any, which would be charged to earnings, is made after careful analysis of each matter. Once established, a provision may change in the future due to new developments or changes in circumstances, and could increase or decrease the Company’s earnings in the period that the changes are made. Included in the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses is a provision for losses from legal matters aggregating approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million as of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Asserted claims in these matters seek approximately $10.4 million in damages as of December 29, 2012.

The Company is also subject to other pending legal proceedings and claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, which may not be covered by insurance.

17. RETIREMENT PLANS

Profit Sharing Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan for the benefit of eligible employees in the United States and other similar plans in Canada and Puerto Rico (the “Retirement Plans”). The 401(k) plan includes a cash or deferred arrangement pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code sponsored by the Company to provide eligible employees an opportunity to defer compensation and have such deferred amounts contributed to the 401(k) plan on a pre-tax basis, subject to certain limitations. The Company, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, may make contributions of cash to match deferrals of compensation by participants in the Retirement Plans. Contributions to the Retirement Plans charged to operations by the Company for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $373 and $59, respectively.

Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one one-hundredth of a share (a “Unit”) of a newly-authorized series of junior participating preferred stock of the Company, upon the occurrence of certain events, at a purchase price of $15.00 per Unit.

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONTINUED)

In connection with the adoption of the stockholder rights plan, the Company designated 250,000 shares of the Company’s authorized shares of Preferred Stock, par value $1.00, as Series A-2 Junior Participating Preferred Shares, none of which are issued and outstanding. As provided in the Certificate of Designation filed by the Company with the Department of State of the State of Nevada, each Series A-2 Preferred Share shall entitle the holder 100 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation, subject to adjustment for future dividends and combinations of common stock. The holders of Series A-2 Preferred Shares and the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation. The Series A-2 Preferred Shares shall, after issuance, be entitled to receive quarterly dividends in an amount equal to the greater of $50.00 per share or an amount per share, subject to adjustment, equal to 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in shares of common stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of common stock declared on the common stock since the immediately preceding quarterly dividend payment date of the Series A-2 Preferred Shares, or, with respect to the first such quarterly dividend payment date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of the Series A-2 Preferred Shares. The Series A-2 Preferred Shares shall rank junior to all other series of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise. The Series A-2 Preferred Shares shall not be redeemable. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of Series A-2 Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive the greater of $100.00 per share, plus accrued dividends, or an amount per share, subject to adjustment, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of Common Stock. In the event the Company shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such event the Series A-2 Preferred Shares shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share, subject to adjustment, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. These preferences are protected by customary anti-dilution provisions.

Initially, the Rights are not exercisable and are attached to each existing outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock. The Rights will separate and become exercisable if a person or group acquires 15% or more of the Company’s Common Stock in a transaction, including the open market purchase of shares, not approved by our Board. If a person or group acquires 15%, each Right will entitle its holder (other than such person or members of such group) to purchase, at the Right's exercise price (subject to adjustment as provided in the Rights Plan), a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock having a then-current market value of twice the exercise price. The Rights Plan will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire control of the Company on terms or in a manner not approved by our Board.

The initial issuance of the Rights as a dividend on January 31, 2013 had no financial accounting or reporting impact. The fair value of the Rights was nominal because the Rights were not exercisable when issued and no value is attributable to them. Additionally, the Rights do not meet the definition of a liability under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are therefore not accounted for as a long-term obligation. Accordingly, unless the Rights become exercisable as discussed above, the Rights Plan has no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Rights Plan is not intended to interfere with any merger, tender or exchange offer or other business combination approved by our Board. Nor does the Rights Plan prevent our Board from considering any offer that it considers to be in the best interest of its stockholders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

RCM Technologies, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RCM Technologies, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the two-year period ended December 29, 2012. The financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of RCM Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 29, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements referred to above, we also audited Schedule II — Valuation and Qualifying Accounts and Reserves for each of the fiscal years in two-year period ended December 29, 2012. In our opinion, this financial schedule, when considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information stated therein.
